《Talent Swallowing System》 Chapter 1 I promised him to take his talent The outer section of Phirie city, ¡®Clip clop clip clop~.¡¯ A horse cart peacefully moved along a muddy road with a medium-sized, fully covered box. Two middle-aged men wearing long T-shirts were riding that horse cart, and asionally, they would look at the box behind them. ¡°Brother Mason, will anyone believe that the kid killed his own parents?¡± Grady asked Mason while looking at the box with a calm look. ¡°Of course, everyone will believe it because they are not his real parents. As for the main reason why he killed them was, because of the grade 3 awakening serum.¡± Mason kept his look on the road as he replied to Grady without ncing at him. ¡°But, still¡­¡± ¡°Stop bothering about it. Our job is to kill the boy and his friend before making their bodies disappear.¡± Mason was annoyed with Grady¡¯s questions as he continued, ¡°As for the other things, there are others who will take care of it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Grady became silent as he understood what Mason¡¯s words meant. ¡®I need to get out of here.¡¯ At the same time, inside the fully covered box, a 12-year-old kid listened to their conversation and became furious and wanted toe out of the box.-. However, he could not move his finger, much less his body. ¡®Is it because of that injection?¡¯ Toby remembered getting injected with something before passing out and concluded that the effects of the injection were still present. ¡®Sigh¡­Am I going to die? Without parents, Ryan and others will be orphans and endure many hardships. I need to get out of here at any cost.¡¯ Toby was having mixed emotions as he thought about his siblings. Even though they were not his real siblings, for him, they were more than real siblings. Toby was furious, scared, and hopeless as he knew even if he came out of the box, he would be killed as he didn¡¯t awaken any ¡®Talent¡¯ to fight adults with ¡®Talents¡¯. ¡®Sorry Joel, because of me, you are also¡­.¡¯ Looking at his friend beside him, who was also captured along with him, Toby could not help but feel guilty. ¡®Why did they kill my parents? Why are they framing me? Who wants to do this to my family? My family is neither rich nor powerful. So¡­why? Just why?¡¯ As he felt it was hisst moments before getting killed, Toby only had questions in his head as he felt dizziness takeover his head again. ¡­.. Nearly a decadeter, ¡°D..don¡¯te near me¡­Leo¡­Please forgive me.¡± Marco looked at a young man,pletely covered in blood, and anxiously begged him not toe near him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say not to mess either with me or my people?¡± The young man covered in blood didn¡¯t have any emotion on his face as he slowly walked toward the young man with a bloodied silver coloured sword in his hand. Behind him, more than 100 corpses were lying on the ground,pletely covered in blood. ¡°Just because you are the grandson of a Supreme hero gives you the right to kill anyone?¡± ¡°I may not be powerful enough to go against your grandfather now; however, when I be powerful, I will go to ¡®Evesting city¡¯ and make it ¡®Neverexisting city¡¯.¡± Leo didn¡¯t stop walking as he spoke one line after another with an emotionless look, making Marco shiver even more. ¡°Please¡­forgive¡­me¡­I know I am wrong and I should have never done that to¡­.¡± ¡°B*stard, get away from my son.¡± Before Marco could finish his words, an angry voice came from the distance as a middle-aged man flew towards Leo at an incredible speed. ¡°¡­.Father, kill this b*stard.¡± Seeing that his father hade to his rescue, Marco was no longer fearful and asked his father to kill Leo. ¡°B*stard¡­today is the day you will die..Haha.¡± At the same time, he didn¡¯t forget tough at Leo¡¯s bad luck. ¡°Do you know what? I was actually waiting for your father¡­Hehe.¡± When Marco thought Leo would be shivering and begging him, he saw a cold smile on Leo¡¯s blood-covered face. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Son, are you alright?¡± Martinnded in front of his son and hurriedly checked for the injuries on his body. ¡°I am alright, father. But, you have to kill that b*stard. As you can see, we can¡¯t let him¡­.¡± ¡°Phew¡± Once he checked that his son was not injured, Martin heaved a sigh of relief as he didn¡¯t bother to listen to his son¡¯s words anymore. Instead, he looked at Leo with a furious look on his face and shouted. ¡°Call of Undead¡± ¡®Rumble¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ Soon, countless undead beings came out of the ground and stood before Martin and Marco. There were mutated beasts, monsters, and even humans among those undead beings, each having a strength ranging from rank 4 to rank 8. ¡°You killed an entire elite team of my Evesting city. As apensation, you will be one of my undead beings today.¡± ¡°Everyone, attack.¡± As soon as he finished his words, hemanded his undead beings to attack Leo. ¡°That¡¯s not going to happen. Instead, your talent will be mine today.¡± Even when such a powerful undead army wasing at him, Leo was calm as he countered Martin with a challenge. ¡°Huh?¡± Martin and Marco raised their brows as they didn¡¯t understand what Leo¡¯s words meant. ¡°I know you can¡¯t understand my words right now but soon, you will¡­Hehe.¡± Leo said to the father and son duo with a slight smile on his blood-covered face before muttering, ¡®dimir, Victor, you can take care of them.¡¯ Soon, two silhouettes came out of Leo¡¯s shadow while emitting ck mist from their bodies. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ The two ck-coloured silhouettes were very fast as they destroyed the undead beings with a single sh. ¡°Father, what¡¯s happening? What are those silhouettes.?¡± Marco asked his father as he could not see what those silhouettes were and how they were able to destroy his father¡¯s undead army so easily. ¡°Shadow vampires¡­why are they following that b*stard¡¯s words.¡± Even though he could not see the appearance of those silhouettes properly, he could guess what they were, and he was shocked that Leo was able to control them. ¡°Son, let¡¯s escape.¡± After seeing two shadow vampires destroying his undead army, Martin decided to escape with his son using his second talent without any hesitation. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡°Not so soon.¡± However, Leo appeared behind them and directly pierced his silver sword into Martin¡¯s heart. ¡®Ding, Detected a super rare talent, ¡®Call of the Undead¡¯. Do you want to swallow it? As soon as Leo killed Martin, a system notification rang in his head. ¡°Of course. I promised him to take his talent.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile as he replied to the system in his head. Chapter 2 Golden Giants Mercenary Squad One yearter, In front of the outer gate of Phirie city, there was a group of young people in their early twenties wearing exquisite clothes standing while looking at the enormous outer wall of Phirie city. ¡°Looks like the wall hasn¡¯t been upgraded for thest 10 years.¡± Leo observed the familiar wall in front of him and shook his head with an emotionless look on his face. He was six feet tall with ck-coloured hair and a cold yet handsome face. He was wearing specially designed ck-coloured clothes made up of a mutated beast¡¯s skin. Two young men and a young woman silently stood behind Leo while listening to his words. The young men were handsome, and the young woman was as beautiful as a fairy; however, the weapons she had equipped with told a different story. Each of them was wearing specially designed clothes just like Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Young heroes, are you nning to enter the city?¡± Seeing the four members, the watchers of the outer city wall rushed towards them and asked with a polite smile on their faces.-. Even though it was their first time seeing the four young heroes, the watchers could tell that they were at least Elite heroes or even Advanced heroes. So, they were very polite as the leader of the watchers asked them. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded his head as he looked at a young man on his left. ¡°I am the captain of the ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ mercenary squad and we are here on the invitation of the Ambermane family.¡± Dominic showed a small gold coloured badge along with an invitation letter that had a red lion¡¯s insignia. ¡°Mercenary squad?¡± For a brief moment, the leader of the watchers looked down on Leo and others; however, he quickly went back to his polite smile. In the eyes of almost everyone, mercenaries are the people who would do anything as long you pay the right amount. So, of course, they were not as respected as the City heroes who protect the city from the mutated beasts and the otherworldly monsters without asking for anything in return. ¡°The Ambermane family has sent someone for you and he is waiting for a while now.¡± The leader of the watchers looked over his shoulder and signalled a watcher, who nodded his head and hurriedly rushed back. ¡°Please follow me. I will guide you to him.¡± At the same time, the leader of the watchers politely asked them to follow him. ¡°Sir Aidan, please send a rescue team to the Serpent Caverns.¡± As Leo and others were silently following behind the leader of the watchers, a group of young men rushed from the distance while shouting out loud. ¡°How many of your friends are left behind in those caverns?¡± However, Aidan was calm as he asked a question. It was not Aidan¡¯s first time, or it was not the first time someone got stuck in some dangerous ce. ¡°Only one and she only has a healing talent but doesn¡¯t have anybat talent. You need to quickly talent in a rescue team.¡± The leader of that group was a young man in his early twenties. He even fell to his knees and begged Aidan. ¡°Currently, there is no avable rescue team in the city barracks. I will send them as soon as they are avable.¡± Aidan looked at a small building in the distance and shook his head at that young man. ¡°Zac, let¡¯s not waste our time with the watchers. Let¡¯s go and ask for help from your family.¡± A young man from that group helped the kneeling young man as he scoffed at Aidan. ¡°Wait¡± However, Zac didn¡¯t stand up; instead, he looked at Leo and his group. ¡°Sir, you look powerful. Can you save my fiance?¡± Judging from the clothes, Zac could tell that Leo¡¯s group were definitely powerful heroes. So, he requested their help. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, Leo¡¯s group didn¡¯t say anything, and it was clear from their silence that they didn¡¯t have any intention of helping Zac. ¡°Damn¡­¡± ¡°Zac, what are you doing?¡± Just as Zac was getting angry, a voice came from the distance that made Zac calm down. ¡°Uncle¡­you are here? Please save Julia.¡± Zac rushed toward his uncle and requested him for help as he briefly exined the situation she was in. ¡®Julia?¡¯ When Leo heard that name, his entire body shook a little as some memories from his childhood shed in his head. ¡°Zac, you know we can¡¯t save her now. Even if we go now, we can¡¯t find her body as it might have been devoured by the serpents in those caverns.¡± Zac¡¯s uncle shook his head and asked Zac to ept that she was gone. ¡°My poor Julia¡­we were nning to marry next month but now¡­.¡± Zac fell to his knees, crying like he had lost something precious in his life; however, they could see an evil smile under his crying if one looked closely. ¡®Leo, did you notice something?¡¯ Dominic walked closer to Leo and asked about something. ¡®I am going for a walk.¡¯ ¡®Teleportation¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo replied something else as he had a concerned look on his face before disappearing from his ce. ¡®What?¡¯ Even though it was only for a brief moment, Dominic noticed the concerned look on Leo¡¯s face, making him surprised. ¡®Julia? Is she one of the reasons why he was eager to enter the city?¡¯ Dominic looked at Zac and his uncle Seth before shaking his head, ¡®You messed with the wrong person. If something happens to her, you can¡¯t afford to face his wrath.¡¯ ******* Author¡¯s note: Toby returns to the Phire City with his new identity ¡®Leo¡¯. So, please don¡¯t get confused and continue reading. Chapter 3 Teleportation Talent ¡®Did he just use Teleportation?¡¯ ¡®What? Teleportation? Isn¡¯t that one of the rarest abilities that humans awaken?¡¯ Aidan and other watchers observed Leo¡¯s sudden disappearance, making them shocked. ¡®Teleportation ability?¡¯ Zac and his uncle Seth were also equally shocked because it was rare to see someone with a ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent. As he spoke, Dominic revealed a slight smile, ¡°Shall we enter the city now?¡± ¡°Yes¡­yes. Let¡¯s go.¡± Seth was asked by the head of the family to take good care of these members. So, he didn¡¯t bother to ask any questions about Leo¡¯s sudden disappearance as he guided them into the city. ¡®Teleportation? Is he thinking of helping her?¡¯ As Leo¡¯s group followed Seth into the city, Zac looked in the direction of Serpent caverns and silently muttered to himself. ¡®I doubt he will do it. I heard mercenaries will not bother about anything unless they are paid.¡¯ Zac wiped his tears as he revealed a slight smile and silently thought, ¡®Even if he was thinking of saving her, by the time he reaches there, she will be devoured by those snakes.¡¯ ¡­.. In Serpent caverns,-. ¡®Am I going to die here today?¡¯ A young woman was cowering in fear in one corner of the cavern as she hid behind a boulder. She was wearing a long green coloured gown which waspletely covered in dust. ¡®I still have one more beast deterring serum but will it really save me?¡¯ Looking at the small bottle in her hands, Julia asked herself as she wiped her tears. Hiss~ Suddenly, a hissing sound came from the distance, making her shiver. A few hours back, Julia felt like she was living in a dream because she was getting married to the person she loved or thought she loved because of his caring actions. What¡¯s more, he was a direct descendent of the Ambermane family. ¡®But he is¡­.¡¯ However, she was heartbroken when she remembered how Zac pushed her into the serpent caverns. Nevertheless, she didn¡¯t want to die just because she was heartbroken; instead, she wanted to get out of this ce and know why he wanted her dead. ¡®Looks like I can¡¯t get my revenge in this life.¡¯ After a few minutes, she used the final ¡®Beast deterring serum¡¯ in her hands and waited for a miracle to happen. She wanted to do something to get out of the Seperent caverns; however, these caverns were filled with thousands of mutated snakes and the moment she makes walks out of her safe ce, she would be killed by them. ¡­.. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Please be safe, Julia. Just for a few more minutes.¡¯ In the wilderness, Leo headed in the direction that Zac and his team came from. With a few seconds gap, he would use ¡®Teleportation¡¯ and instantly travel nearly a kilometer. ¡®Where are these damned caverns?¡¯ After using his talent, Leo would pause to check for the Serpent caverns before teleporting once again. ¡®Rumble¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ If he didn¡¯t find the serpent caverns, he would leave the cracks on the ground where he was standing. It showed how anxious he was to find Julia. ¡®If something happens to Julia, then I can¡¯t face Joel.¡¯ Leo continuously teleported as he thought about his friend and his promise to him. ¡­. In Serpent caverns, Time continued to pass as the beast¡¯s deterring potion effects started disappearing. ¡®It is useless to hide here anymore. Instead of dying here while waiting for any external help, I should take my chances in leaving this ce.¡¯ Finally, Julia steeled her heart and slowly stood up from her hiding spot. Hiss~ As she walked out of her hiding ce, the excited hissing sounds resounded in the caverns as all the mutated snakes rushed towards Julia. ¡®They are really sensitive to sound.¡¯ Julia clenched her tiny fists as she rushed towards the exit of the serpent caverns. ¡®I can do it¡­I can do it.¡¯ Julia encouraged herself as he increased her speed towards the exit, which was yet to appear in her sight. ¡®There it is.¡¯ After running for a bit, Julia finally found the exit as she felt hopeful again. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ However, a giant mutated snake appeared out of nowhere and stood before the exit. ¡®A rank 6 mutated beast?¡¯ Looking at the six beads on the head of the enormous snake, Julia guessed the rank of the mutated snake in front of him. After the appearance of the monsters, almost all the native animals mutated and became mutated beasts. Humans ssified the mutated beasts into various ranks, starting from rank 1 to 10. Rank 1 mutated beasts are the weakest, whereas the rank 10 mutated beasts are equivalent to Supreme heroes and are the strongest. ¡®Is this how I am going to die?¡¯ When she saw the rank 6 mutated serpent, Julia lost all her hope as she fell to the ground. Hiss~ After the mutation, the animals¡¯ intelligence and ferocity increased a lot as they liked to see the despair in the eyes of their prey. The giant serpent slowly moved its head closer to Julia while sticking its forked tongue out. ¡®Sob¡¯ Julia could not handle the pressure anymore as tears unconsciously rushed out of her eyes. Hiss~ Even though the giant serpent could swallow Julia in one gulp, it didn¡¯t have any intention to do that so soon. Hiss~ As though the giant serpent enjoyed tormenting Julia, it ordered its minions to enjoy the meal. For a rank 6 mutated serpent, devouring a newly ascended rank 4 hero would not benefit it. So, it decided to leave Julia for its underlings, who get benefitted from consuming a rank 4 hero like her. Hiss~ After receiving orders from their leader, all the snakes became excited and jumped at Julia as though they could not wait to devour her. ¡®Brother Joel, I can¡¯t wait for you to return any more.¡¯ Surrounded by thousands of snakes, Julia gave up on the thought of getting out of the Serpent caverns alive as she looked at the exit in the distance. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as Julia gave up her hopes, she saw a human silhouette at the exit of the caverns, which disappeared and reappeared directly in front of her in a second. ¡°Who are¡­¡± Julia was surprised by the young man¡¯s sudden appearance; however, before she could realize what was happening, the young man pulled her into his embrace and muttered in a barely audible voice, ¡®I am here.¡¯ Chapter 4 Arcane Silver In the Serpent caverns. ¡®I am here.¡¯ Even though Leo muttered those words in a barely audible voice, Julia could hear them. The current moment made her remember something from the past as tears rolled down her cheeks as sheid her head on Leo¡¯s chest. For some reason, she didn¡¯t feel ufortable; she felt warm in her heart as he thought about her Brother Toby. ¡°Burn to ashesbustion.¡± A cloak appeared out of nowhere as Leo wrapped it around him before using one of his talents. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Sizzle¡¯ A vast fire wave came out of Leo¡¯s body as it burned all the sapphire snakes rushing towards him, leaving behind only sapphire beads on the ground.-. ¡®I am d nothing happened to you.¡¯ After clearing the sapphire snakes, Leo unwrapped his cloak and looked at the young woman in his embrace with an affectionate look on his face. Leo heaved a sigh of relief that he was able toe at the right time to save Julia. If those who knew him saw that look in his eyes, they would be surprised for sure because he rarely had that look on his eyes. ¡®Ahem¡¯ Seeing that Julia didn¡¯t intend toe out of his embrace, Leo cleared his throat, making her hurriedlye out of his embrace. ¡°Sorry¡­sorry, sir. And, thank you for saving me.¡± Julia hurriedly apologized to Leo, and at the same time, she thanked him. ¡°In return for saving you, just collect all these sapphire beads and sell them at a good price.¡± The affectionate look in Leo¡¯s eyes from earlier disappeared as he asked Julia to collect the sapphire beads lying on the ground. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Julia was taken back for a moment; however, when she thought about the line ¡®Nothing is free in this world¡¯, Julia hurriedly nodded her head. ¡®He is not Brother Toby.¡¯ Even though Julia felt some connection with Leo after recalling a simr event from the past, she was sure that he was not her ¡®Brother Toby¡¯ because her Brother Toby had failed his awakening. Hiss~ As Julia felt that she was finally saved, the familiar hissing sound from the giant serpent resounded from the depths of the Serpent caverns. ¡°Sir, let¡¯s run away from here. There is a rank 6 mutated snake in these caverns.¡± Just remembering the rank 6 mutated snake made Julia shiver as she urged Leo to escape from the cavern. ¡°A rank 6 mutated snake?¡± Leo raised his brows for a moment as he thought, ¡®There is a rank 6 mutated beast this close to the city?¡¯ ording to the rules and regtions of any city in this new world, there should not be any rank 6 mutated beasts within a 10-kilometer radius of the city. However, these so-called Serpent caverns were only five kilometers away from the outer city. ¡®The outer wall of the city has not been repaired or upgraded in thest 10 years.¡¯ ¡®A rank 6 mutated beast within a five-kilometer radius of the city.¡¯ ¡®Unavability of the rescue teams.¡¯ Leo muttered the faults of the Phirie city, which he noticed even before entering the city in a single go, and continued thinking, ¡®I wonder how messed up the city is from inside.¡¯ ¡°Sir?¡± Julia took a couple of steps towards the exit; however, she anxiously called him, seeing that Leo was not moving from his ce. She could tell that the young man was a powerful hero; however, Leo was just a young man in his early twenties, no matter how powerful he was. ¡°Just stand aside. I will take care of it.¡± Coming out of his thoughts, Leo asked Julia to stand aside and waited for the rank 6 mutated serpent to show itself. ¡®To defeat a rank 6 mutated beast, a human needs at least rank 6 attack type talent. Even with it, it is very hard to tell the oue of the fight. However, this young man is too young to have a rank 6 talent.¡¯ When she heard Leo¡¯s words, she was shocked; however, judging from Leo¡¯s age, she was not entirely convinced that Leo had the power to subdue a rank 6 mutated beast. Hiss~ Soon, the rank 6 mutated serpent came out of the depths of the caverns and blocked the exit. Hiss~ Seeing the sapphire beads on the ground, it became furious and hissed at Leo before lunging at him without wasting any time. ¡°To start a new beginning in the Phirie city, I need some credits. Looks like you are the heaven-sent opportunity for me.¡± Leo didn¡¯t show any emotions on his face as he calmly said to the Sapphire snake that was lunging at him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to dodge its attack at the same time. ¡°Arcane silver.¡± As soon as he said those words, a silver-coloured sword with mysterious runes engraved on it appeared in Leo¡¯s hand. ¡®sh¡¯ Leo chopped off the rank 6 mutated snake¡¯s head with a casual sh as though he was slicing through a jelly. ¡®What?¡¯ Looking at the scene in front of her, Julia looked at Leo with her eyes wide open. ¡®Only an advanced hero can kill a rank 6 mutated beast in a single strike. But, he is too young to be an advanced hero.¡¯ Julia rubbed her eyes as she looked at Leo in a new light. Chapter 5 Heros Path After the sudden appearance of the monsters and beasts, the existence of the human race was threatened; however, a few otherworld beings called themselves ¡®Gods¡¯ appeared. Not only killed the monsters and beasts, but they also established cities with their powers that prevented the monsters and beasts from entering the city. As humans were happy to be alive under the protection of the ¡®Gods¡¯, the gods announced their departure, making the humans disappointed; however, they didn¡¯t have the power to stop those otherworldly beings from leaving their world. Even though they were protected inside the cities, the thought of monsters and beasts lurking outside the city walls made them shiver. Maybe the otherworldly beings liked humans or took pity or saw something in the humans, or for whatever reason, they decided to give a parting gift to the humans. The gift was a building called the ¡®Hall of gods¡¯ that helped humans awaken the talents hidden deep in the human bodies. Moreover, it is not limited to a single city; instead, each city has its own ¡®Hall of gods¡¯, making it convenient for humans. And it is the new beginning where humans started pursuing the ¡®Hero¡¯s path¡¯ with their awakened talents. Soon, they ssified the ¡®Hero¡¯s path¡¯ into eleven ranks, starting from rank 0 to 10. A newly awakened human is considered a rank 0 hero or a ¡®Rookie hero¡¯. From rank 1 to rank 9, the heroes are ssified into three sses depending on the level of their talents. They are Apprentice heroes, Elite heroes, and Advanced heroes with three ranks in each ss.-. As for rank 10 heroes, they were called Supreme heroes, and they were at the pinnacle of the hero¡¯s path¡­at least that¡¯s what most of humanity assumed as no one surpassed that rank. ¡­.. ¡°Advanced hero? How did he be an advanced hero at such a young age?¡± When Julia saw how Leo killed a rank 6 mutated beast in a single strike, she directly concluded that Leo was an advanced hero while asking herself how he became so powerful at such a young age. She was a rank 4 healing type hero and belonged to the category of Elite heroes. At her age, bing an elite hero was already an achievement, and she was proud of herself for that. After seeing Leo, who became an Advanced hero in his early twenties, the little bit of pride in Julia disappeared without a trace. ¡®Even though I didn¡¯t know all the advanced heroes in Phirie city, I can tell he is definitely not from Phirie city.¡¯ In Phirie city, only a few humans became advanced heroes before thirty, and each one of them was famous. Nevertheless, they became advanced heroes when they were about to reach 30, whereas Leo looked to be in his early twenties. So, Julia was sure that Leo was not from Phirie city. ¡°What are you waiting for? Collect all the sapphire beads on the ground.¡± As Julia was figuring out the origins of Leo, his cold voice resounded in the caverns, waking Julia up from her thoughts. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Julia stopped spacing out and hurriedly nodded her head, and started picking the sapphire beads on the ground. ¡®Puchi¡¯ As for Leo, he walked toward the severed head of the rank 6 mutated serpent, pierced his sword ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ in the center, and retrieved a blue coloured crystal. ¡°A beast core? Looks like he is a seasoned beast hunter.¡± While picking the sapphire beads, Julia observed Leo¡¯s actions and how quickly he found and retrieved the beast core in the mutated beast¡¯s body; she guessed Leo¡¯s profession. Each city has a special unit called ¡®Beast hunting heroes¡¯ or ¡®Beast hunters¡¯ who clear the monsters and beasts around the city and ensure the safety of the citizens, Other than ensuring the safety of the citizens, these beast hunting heroes need to bring the corpses of the beasts and the monsters back to the city, and at the same time, they need to search for natural treasures and resources outside the city. The beast cores are the crystals where the mutated beasts store their energy to ascend to the next rank. ¡°Sir, I collected all the sapphire beads.¡± Soon, Julia picked up all the beads and walked toward Leo while looking at the enormous headless corpse of the Serpent. ¡°Sir, why don¡¯t you retrieve the valuable parts from the corpse?¡± Earlier, she heard that Leo needed credits (aka money), and selling the valuable parts of the rank 6 serpent would fetch a reasonable price. Since the corpse was too big to carry around, Julia suggested Leo harvest the valuable parts of the corpse. ¡°I am toozy to do that.¡± Leo shook his head as he replied with his usual cold look. ¡°Toozy?¡± Julia was taken aback and thought, ¡®No wonder, an advanced hero and elite hero live in twopletely different worlds.¡¯ In her eyes, if she found a rank 6 mutated beast corpse, she would retrieve all valuable parts even if she had to tire herself to death. ¡°Then¡­how about I help you in retrieving the valuable parts to show my gratitude for saving me?¡± Even though it would be difficult for her, Julia decided to help Leo. ¡®This girl¡­¡¯ Leo shook his head at Julia¡¯s words. It would be tough for a rank 4 hero to collect the valuable parts from a rank 6 mutated beast without an attacking type talent. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about it.¡± Leo looked at Julia and said, ¡°As for repaying your gratitude, sell those sapphire beads at a good price.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir. My sister owns a jewellery store that buys beautiful stones like these.¡± With a confident smile on her face, Julia replied to Leo. ¡°Your sister?¡± Leo raised his brows when he heard Julia¡¯s words. ¡°Yes. Even though we are not rted by blood, she has helped me a lot in the past and is still continuing to help me.¡± While speaking of her sister, Julia could not help but reveal a beautiful smile. ¡®Looks like there is still humanity left in this cruel world.¡¯ Even though his face still had a stern look, Leo was grateful to the person who was helping her. ¡°Sir, what about the corpse? Are you really going to leave it here?¡± After speaking about her sister, Julia¡¯s eyes again fell on the beast¡¯s corpse and asked Leo about it. ¡°Who said I am going to leave it?¡± As soon as he finished his words, Leo ced his hands on the beast¡¯s corpse, which disappeared into thin air, making Julia shocked once again. Chapter 6 Talent Swallowing System ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The colossal corpse of the rank 6 mutated beast disappeared right in front of Julia¡¯s eyes, making her quite shocked. ¡®Does he have a dimensional storage talent?¡¯ Julia wondered whether Leo had another talent along with the talents ¡®Teleportation¡¯ and ¡®Combustion¡¯. Even though space-rted talents were not powerful, they were rare and valuable. Julia was already surprised to learn that Leo had two talents and now she was shocked by the possibility of having a third talent. ¡®Storage ring?¡¯ Just as Julia thought that Leo might have another talent, she noticed a dull ck coloured ring around one of Leo¡¯s fingers. With the appearance of the monsters and beasts, more and more unique and rare things started appearing in the world. Humans started creating things that they had never imagined before using their awakened talents. Among those things, Storage rings, the rings with a hidden space inside them, were one of them. ¡®But the space inside that storage ring¡­isn¡¯t it a little too much?¡¯ The reason why Julia mistaken Leo had another talent was because of the space. Generally, storage rings were scarce even for advanced heroes, and even those storage rings had very less space inside them.-. However, Leo¡¯s storage ring clearly has a space of at least a two-storied building. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± After storing the beast¡¯s corpse in his storage ring, Leo started walking out of the serpent caverns with Julia silently following behind him. ¡°Sir, my name is Julia. Can I know your name?¡± Walking behind Leo, Julia finally realized that she still didn¡¯t introduce herself. So, she introduced herself and asked for Leo¡¯s name. ¡°Leo¡± Leo replied in a single word, and as though he thought of something, he replied, ¡°Stop calling me, Sir. You can just call me¡­.¡± ¡°Brother Leo.¡± Before Leo could finish his words, Julia addressed him as ¡®Brother Leo¡¯. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was not asking her to call him ¡®Brother Leo¡¯; however, when he heard those two words, he felt warm as he always wanted to hear that. ¡°Is it okay to call you, Brother Leo?¡± Even though Leo always had a stern look on his face, Julia felt close to Leo for some reason. Nevertheless, she was still feeling slightly anxious when she called him ¡®Brother Leo¡¯. So, she hurriedly asked whether it was okay with Leo. ¡°Suit yourself.¡± Leo was happy in his heart; however, only a stern look was on his face. ¡°Excellent.¡± Julia became happy and silently thought, ¡®Looks like he is not as cold as he looks.¡¯ Generally, all advanced heroes she encountered until now looked down on everyone who didn¡¯t be advanced heroes. However, in the case of Leo, he didn¡¯t look down on her at all, making her feel Leo was a warm-hearted hero. ¡®Let¡¯s check her talent.¡¯ As they were walking back to Phirie city, Leo silently thought in his head. ¡®Ding, Hero assessment. Name:- Julia. Age:- 20. Talent:- Wave of healing (Level 4). Wave of healing:- with the help of this talent, the hero, can release a breeze that can heal the hero and the surrounding heroes. Note:- Limited to a 40-meter radius around the hero. Hero rank:- Rank 4 (Low-level Elite hero). Potential:- 2.9 percent / 100 percent. Suddenly, a holographic screen appeared in front of Leo with Julia¡¯s information on it. During thest ten years of his life, Leo had his fair share of trials and tribtions and a few fortuitous encounters. Among those encounters, Leo gained the ¡®Talent swallowing system¡¯. As its name suggested, it would help Leo devour others¡¯ talents as long as he met some conditions; however, there is a long cool-down period of one year before he could devour another talent. Nevertheless, Leo was already satisfied that he would gain a new talent every year. Also, other than swallowing the talents of others yearly, there is another function in the system that helps Leo to assess the information of others. So, Leo used the ¡®Hero assessment¡¯ function of the ¡®Talent swallowing system¡¯ to check the information about Julia¡¯s talent. ¡®Wave of healing? A rare talent among humans but she was abandoned by her team.¡¯ Leo could not control his anger when he thought about Zac, who acted like he wanted to save Julia. Even though healing-type heroes didn¡¯t have much attack power, they were greatly valued and respected in human society as they could cure diseases and heal injuries easily. Of course, a rank 4 hero like Julia was not much in the eyes of mighty heroes; however, it would be a different story if she became a rank 7 hero and joined the ranks of advanced heroes. ¡®2.9 percent of potential? Looks like she became a rank 4 hero very recently.¡¯ Controlling his anger, Leo looked at the following important indicator in the hero assessment, and it was ¡®Potential¡¯. As long as the potential reaches 100 percent, the hero¡¯s talent would be upgraded to the next level, and the hero would ascend to the next rank. Since Julia¡¯s talent potential is only 2.9 percent, Leo could tell she ascended to rank 4 very recently. ¡®As long as she is groomed properly, she will have no problems in bing an advanced hero but the moment she became an elite hero, they wanted to kill her.¡¯ For humanity, having high-ranked healing heroes would help a lot in their fight with the monsters and the beasts. ¡®That bastard Zac belongs to the Ambermane family, right? Good¡­good.¡¯ Leo was thinking of a reason to mess with the Ambermane family, and now, he finally got a perfect reason. Chapter 7 God Ruins In the Ambemane family manor, ¡°Currently, the family head is in a meeting with the City leader and the other family heads. So, young master Zen will be discussing with you regarding our deal.¡± After guiding Dominic and others into the family manor, Seth introduced them to a man in his thirties. Zen is the eldest son of the Ambermane family head and the brother of Zac. ¡°So, you are the famous ¡®Golden Gaints¡¯ mercenary squad. Wee to the Phirie city.¡± Zen was polite as he continued, ¡°I heard you will do anything as long as you are paid. Is that right?¡± He didn¡¯t waste time beating around the bush as he came to the main point directly. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the reason why family head Liam invited us all the way to this city?¡± Dominic was also straightforward as he gave the blunt reply, making Zen a little angry. ¡°Thank you foring here on such short notice.¡± Nevertheless, Zen suppressed his anger as his family needed their help. ¡°If you are thankful, let¡¯s talk about the deal without further ado.¡± Reba replied to Zen in a calm tone.-. ¡°In a week, the city leader is nning to open the recently discovered ¡®God ruins¡¯ and ording to the initial research report, only heroes below the age of 25 can be entered.¡± ¡°Among the famous mercenary squads, your squad is the only one that has mercenaries below the age of 25. So, I want you to help the young heroes of my Ambermane family in the ¡®God ruins¡¯ and at the same time, kill the young heroes from other families.¡± Suppressing his anger, Zen slowly exined the reason why the Ambermane family requested ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ help. Initially, Zen started his exnation with a polite smile on his face; however, it changed into an evil smile by the end of his sentence. ¡°God ruins?¡± Dominic and the other two were pleasantly surprised by those two words. ¡®God ruins¡¯ is a ce where the otherworldly beings left various treasures for the humans. However, each treasure is surrounded by various dangers, such that only the humans with sufficient strength could take them. Moreover, to prevent the old heroes from taking over these treasures, each ¡®God ruins¡¯ is sealed with a barrier that only permits humans within a specific age limit. ¡°Yes.¡± Zen nodded his head and continued, ¡°However, don¡¯t even think about taking all the treasures for yourself. If youplete your work properly, I will reward you with one or two treasures each along with the payment for your work.¡± ¡°Also, to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯, you need to be a citizen of the Phirie city. So, the only way you can enter the Gods ruins is with my family¡¯s help.¡± Before Dominic could give any reply, Zen added another thing to make sure Dominic agreed to their deal. ¡°Looks like we can¡¯t leave this manor until we agree to your deal, right?¡± Even though Dominic is still in his early twenties, he had his share of trials and tribtions. So, he was able to grasp their current situation in no time. ¡°No wonder, you are able to be the squad leader of the famous ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ at such a young age.¡± Zen revealed a slight smile on his face as he praised Dominic. Even with such an open threat, Dominic and the other two didn¡¯t show any signs of fear or worry as they remained seated with a calm look on their faces. ¡°So, what is your answer?¡± Even though Zen openly threatened them, he was a little anxious in his head as he wanted this deal to be sessful. ¡°As long as you pay us enough, we will have no problem in helping you.¡± Dominic didn¡¯t have to think much before giving his answer, making Zen happy. ¡°Of course.¡± Zen nodded his head with great excitement as they started discussing the payment details. ¡­. A few kilometers away from Phirie city. ¡°Brother Leo, you are less than 25 years old, right?¡± As Leo and Julia were returning to the city, J asked him with a curious look on his face. From the looks, she could tell Leo was in his early twenties. However, a few serums are avable in the market that helps humans look younger than their actual age. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo always kept his replies to a single world as he was the type to talk significantly less. ¡°Looks like you will be taking all the treasures from the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± Julia said to Leo, with a bright smile on her face, making him raise his brows. ¡®God ruins? Is there a ¡®God ruins¡¯ nearby?¡¯ How could he not know what ¡®God ruins¡¯ are as an advanced hero? However, he was not expecting there would be a ¡®God ruins¡¯ near the Phirie city. ¡°Huh? Didn¡¯t youe to the Phirie city to participate in the Gold ruins?¡± Seeing the surprised look on Leo¡¯s face, Julia asked Leo about it. ¡°No¡± Leo shook his head and asked, ¡°Tell me about it.¡± ¡­.. In Evesting city. ¡°Did you find the trace of that bastard?¡± An old man in a white battle robe shouted at a group of middle-aged men wearing some military uniform. ¡°N..no¡± The group leader of middle-aged men walked to the front and shook his head in a low voice. ¡°Useless. There are hundreds of you but you still let him escape. What¡¯s more, you are still unable to find a single trace of him.¡± The old man was none other than the leader of the Evesting city, Kaiser Drach. When he heard the reply, he became furious and red at the men standing in front of him. ¡®Aargh¡¯ Soon, everyone standing in front of Kaiser fell to their knees and groaned in pain. ¡°Because of that bastard, not only did I lose 100 advanced heroes but, I also lost my two sons.¡± Kaiser clenched his fists as he thought about the death of his two sons. ¡°I will give you one month, to find out where that bastard is hiding after killing my sons and my men.¡± After making them suffer for a while, Kaiser released them from his talent and gave them a deadline to find a young man. ¡°Thanks for showing mercy, City lord. We will definitely find him.¡± The leader of the military unit thanked Kaiser before leaving the manor. ¡®Once I find you, I will make you regret messing with me.¡¯ Kaiser swore to himself as he looked at the disappearing military men. Chapter 8 Inferno Talent ¡®Looks like the Ambermane family wants to monopolize over the treasures in the ¡®God ruins¡¯¡­hehe.¡¯ After learning everything about ¡®God ruins¡¯ from Julia, Leo guessed why the Ambermane family requested the help of the ¡®Golden Gaints¡¯ mercenary squad. ¡®As I am waiting for an opportunity to take down the Ambermane family, ites walking to me on its own.¡¯ Leoughed at his luck as he guessed what the Ambermane family wanted from the ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ mercenary squad. ¡°So, are you entering the ¡®God ruins¡¯?¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo asked Julia whether she was entering the ¡®God ruins¡¯. ¡°Of course, I will¡­.¡± Unconsciously, Julia nodded her head; however, before finishing her words, she thought of something and said, ¡°I guess I will not be entering after what happened today.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Leo frowned a little and realized why she would not be entering the ¡®God ruins¡¯. As a healing type hero, Julia needs a team. Without a team, she would be killed even before noticing the danger. After the betrayal from her team today, she knew that she could never join that team again. ¡°Shall we help each other then?¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo asked Julia with a calm look. Even though there were countless dangers inside a ¡®God ruins¡¯, there were countless benefits alongside those dangers.-. So, Leo didn¡¯t want his sister to miss those benefits as they would help her be an advanced hero faster. ¡°Helping each other? How can I help you, Brother Leo?¡± Julia was surprised; however, when she remembered Leo¡¯s hero rank, she shook her head with a disappointed look. ¡°I am a mercenary. So, why don¡¯t you hire me to protect you inside the ¡®God ruins¡¯?¡± A rare smile appeared on Leo¡¯s face as he exined how they could help each other. ¡°As long as I bring you with me into the ¡®God ruins¡¯, you will protect me until wee out of the ¡®God ruins¡¯, right?¡± After listening to Leo¡¯s offer, Julia summarized their deal as she asked Leo. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded his head as he asked, ¡°So, are you interested in hiring me as your bodyguard?¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Leo. I will be in your care then.¡± Julia didn¡¯t hesitate even a single bit as she agreed to Leo¡¯s deal. As an outsider, Leo didn¡¯t have the right to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯ on his own; however, if someone hired him, he could enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯ without any problem. Even though it was not a big problem for Leo to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯, he just wanted to help his sister. ¡®Looks like I need to change my n.¡¯ ording to his previous n, there were no ¡®God ruins¡¯. So, Leo decided to change his n. ¡°Also, don¡¯t tell anyone about my hero ss.¡± Leo suddenly thought of something and said to Julia. ¡°That¡¯s right! If everyone knows about you being an advanced hero, they might not permit you to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± Even though Julia seemed to be a little dull to get betrayed by her boyfriend, she was good at grasping the situation. So, when she heard Leo¡¯s words, Julia hurriedly nodded her head and agreed to his words. ¡®It¡¯s good since she ising up with her own reasons.¡¯ Leo was good at nning; however, he felt relieved when he didn¡¯t have to exin everything. ¡®Now, I have to think about how to separate from others in the eyes of the Ambermane family.¡¯ Seth and Zac had seen him with the ¡®Golden Gaints¡¯ mercenary squad. So, he wanted toe up with a good reason to make the Ambermane family believe that he had nothing to do with the ¡®Golden Gaints¡¯. If the Ambermane family knew that Julia hired him as her bodyguard, they would find something was off because Julia was not rich enough to hire a member of the ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ mercenary squad. With the appearance of ¡®God¡¯s ruins¡¯, Leo had to change all his ns regarding the Phirie city; however, he didn¡¯t mind it. ¡®It is not my first time changing the ns; however, it¡¯s a good thing to change the ns before I even execute my original n.¡¯ Leo adjusted his thoughts and started preparing a new n. ¡­ ¡°Julia¡± As Leo and Julia walked toward the city, a young man in his early twenties ran toward them and called Julia. ¡°Ryan, what are you doing here?¡± Julia was surprised when she saw the young man; however, she asked calmly. ¡°I heard that you are trapped in Serpent caverns. Thank god, you are safe.¡± The young man named Ryan heaved a sigh of relief as he gasped for air. It was easy to tell that he was truly worried about her, judging from the anxious look on his face earlier, ¡®Ryan?¡¯ As for Leo, the moment he heard the young man¡¯s name, Leo raised his eyebrows and muttered, ¡®If he is really little Ryan, he will be exactly 21 years old.¡¯ Even though Leo felt the young man in front of him was none other than his brother, he wanted to check his age before confirming. ¡®System, start the assessment.¡¯ Leo ordered the system to getplete information about Ryan. ¡®Ding, Hero assessment. Name:- Ryan Age:- 21 Hero rank:- Rank 5 (Mid-level Elite ss) Talent:- Inferno (Level 5) Inferno:- After activating the talent, the hero¡¯s body will be covered entirely in mes, and with a thought, the hero can turn everything thates in contact with those mes into nothing. Note:- The range of those mes is a 50-meter radius. Potential:- 50 percent / 100 percent. ¡®He is 21 years old.¡¯ The first thing Leo checked was age, and after confirming the age, Leo was almost sure that the young man in front of him was his brother. ¡®He awakened a powerful attack type talent.¡¯ He was happy for his little brother, thinking, ¡®He must have worked very hard to be a rank 5 hero at his age.¡¯ ¡®I want to tell you everything but I doubt you will listen to me.¡¯ When he was five years old, Ryan¡¯s parents adopted him; however,ter, he was framed for killing them. So, Leo didn¡¯t dare to reveal his real name to Ryan, and the same goes for Julia; because of him, she got separated from his brother. ¡®It is not an easy thing for orphans to survive in this world. What¡¯s more, when your brother is charged with murder and theft, it would make things even harder.¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t witness how Ryan and his other siblings lived after the death of their parents, he was sure about one thing. That is, they didn¡¯t have an easy life. ¡®I wonder how Evan and Emily are doing.¡¯ As Leo was thinking about his siblings, he thought about his two youngest siblings. ¡°There is no need for you to worry about me. I am perfectly fine.¡± Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard Julia¡¯s cold words to Ryan. ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go.¡± After saying those words, Julia walked past Ryan without turning her head. ¡®What¡¯s happening between these two? Why is she giving him a cold shoulder?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t understand why they became like this; however, he silently followed behind Julia after ncing at Ryan. ¡®Who is he? Why is she calling him ¡®Brother¡¯?¡¯ Ryan didn¡¯t mind Julia¡¯s attitude as he had gotten used to it already; however, he was suspicious of Leo. Chapter 9 Emily and Evan ¡°Brother Leo, shall we go and sell these sapphire beads?¡± Soon, Leo and Julia entered the city as Julia suggested selling the beads. ¡°Not today. I am tired after travelling to Phirie city. So, I want to take a rest for today.¡± Leo shook his head and asked, ¡°Are there any good hotels to stay in this city?¡± ¡°Of course, there are; however, they will only make your pockets empty.¡± Julia nodded her head and continued, ¡°How aboute to¡­.¡± ¡°There is an extra room in my house. You can stay there as long as you want without paying me anything.¡± Before Julia could finish her words, Ryan, secretly following them, jumped forward and invited Leo to stay in his house. ¡°No. Brother Leo is my bodyguard. So, he needs to stay in the same house as me to protect me properly.¡± Before Leo could say anything, Julia instantly rejected Ryan¡¯s offer with a reason. ¡°Did you forget our houses are next to each other? It will not be a problem for Brother Leo toe to your rescue in time.¡± ¡°Moreover, Sister Amy will be there to protect you.¡± How could Ryan let Julia and Leo stay in the same house? So, he retorted back by stating some facts. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°He is right. It is not a good idea for us to stay in the same house.¡± As Julia was about to say something, Leo stopped her and agreed to stay at Ryan¡¯s house. ¡°Excellent. Brother Leo¡­you don¡¯t mind me calling you that, right?¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, Ryan felt happy and looked at Julia with a victorious smile.-. ¡°¡­¡± Julia didn¡¯t say anything as she remained silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡± ¡®Finally, I can see those two little kittens.¡¯ Leo was not tired, and he just wanted to meet hisst two siblings. However, he could not just ask Julia to take him to Emily and Evan as it would make him suspicious. So, after noticing Ryan following behind them and sensing his feelings for Julia, Leo came up with a n that would safely let him meet them. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ryan was happy that Julia didn¡¯t fight with him regarding Leo¡¯s amodation as he and Leo followed behind Julia. ¡­. On the city wall, ¡°Sir Aiden, that girl is returned safely with that mercenary with a ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent.¡± One of the watchers noticed Julia and Leo enter the city together and hurriedly rushed to Aiden, the leader of the watchers, to inform them. ¡°Which girl?¡± Aiden frowned as he asked the watcher which girl he was talking about. ¡°The girl that young master Zac wanted dead.¡± The watcher replied to Aiden without thinking much. ¡®p¡¯ ¡°Idiot, why are you saying it out loud? Do you want to get beheaded by the Icefeather family or what?¡± Aiden pped the watcher before saying, ¡°Looks like that mercenary went to save her.¡± ¡°Go and inform young master Zac about it.¡± Aiden thought about it before asking that watcher to inform Zac. ¡°Yes, Sir Aiden.¡± The watcher slowly left his guarding post to inform Zac about Julia¡¯s return. ¡­.. In Zac¡¯s manor, As the young master of the Ambermane family, Zac owns a manor of his own. Currently, he is in a happy mood because he finally got rid of Julia. ¡®Just because she awakened a Healing type talent makes her qualified to marry me?¡¯ Zac scoffed at Julia as he continued to mock, ¡®I only wanted to use you to be closer to the Icefeather family; however, who knows that the Icefather family hates you to the core already?¡¯ Since Julia was not useful for his n to be closer to the Icefeather family, Zac came up with a n to kill Julia without using his own hands. ¡®Even though Amy Icefeather might sense something was off about Julia¡¯s death, there is no way she will prove it.¡¯ Zac was confident in his n as he rxed on his sofa. ¡°What? She has returned safely?¡± However, soon, a watcher came with a piece of information that made his mood turn sour. ¡®Yes. The mercenary with the Teleportation talent was with her.¡¯ After being rebuked by Aiden, the watcher was careful as he replied in a low voice. ¡°Damn it¡­why does this lowly mercenary bastard save her?¡± Zac stomped the floor in anger. ¡°Wait a second¡­I think I know how to get rid of her now.¡± Suddenly, Zac thought of something and hurriedly rushed to his big brother Zen, leaving behind the watcher who was expecting something from Zac. ¡®I thought I could get some credits. What a waste!¡¯ Shaking his head, that watcher quietly left the manor with disappointment. ¡­.. ¡®I guess, he must have already received the news.¡¯ Because of his experience, Leo knew precisely how a city like Phirie city works, and he guessed Zac must have already received the information about Julia¡¯s safe return. ¡®If my guess is correct, he might try to use Dominic to order me to kill Julia.¡¯ While walking with Julia and Ryan, Leo started calcting Zac¡¯s move and trying toe up with a counterattack. ¡®However, it is still not the right time to go against the Ambermane family.¡¯ Leo would not have hesitated much in taking care of the Ambermane family; however, his ns changed because of the ¡®God ruins¡¯. ¡®Until we enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯, it is better to remain low-key.¡¯ For Leo, revenge was necessary; however, recklessly going against a powerful family like the Ambermane family would not help him much. ¡®But, that bastard will not let Julia off until then.¡¯ At the same time, Leo knew what exactly Zac wanted the most right now. ¡°Ryan, how good are the city¡¯s patrol teams?¡± Before he could n further, Leo wanted to know more about Phirie city. So, he asked his brother, who seemed easy to get along with. ¡°They are good.¡± Ryan replied in a single line with a forced smile on his face. ¡®He is lying.¡¯ Leo could instantly tell that the patrol teams were not good. ¡°Good? My foot.¡± Before Leo could ask another question, Julia stopped in her tracks and scoffed at Ryan. ¡°We are¡­¡± ¡°Patrol teams, rescue teams and Beast hunting squads¡­they are all the same.¡± Before Ryan could say anything, Julia interrupted his words and exined to Leo about events from the past. ¡®An elite hero was offended by a store owner for not giving a high discount andter, the elite hero killed the store owner in front of a Patrol team.¡¯ ¡®Rescue team, you must have already seen earlier how good they were at saving me.¡¯ ¡®As for the beast hunting squads, they are only interested in treasures and finding ¡®God ruins¡¯, leaving the mutated beasts and monsters alive.¡¯ Julia was careful in exining the things done by the three units of the Phirie city because it wouldnd them in trouble if anyone heard her words. ¡®What a mess?¡¯ Leo shook his head as he felt pity for the citizens of the Phirie city. ¡®¡­¡¯ Ryan remained silent as he didn¡¯t know what to say because he was a member of the beast hunting squad and what Julia said was true. Soon, Julia and Leo started talking about more things regarding the Phirie city as Ryan followed behind them silently. ¡°Brother Ryan¡± ¡°Sister Julia.¡± A young man and a young woman called Ryan and Julia from afar with excited looks on their faces as they ran toward them. ¡°How many times do I have to say that you should not run?¡± Julia and Ryan said the same line in unison with worried looks. ¡°Nothing will happen if we run this much distance.¡± Anyone could tell that they were twins as they had simr facial features with a look. The twin replied with a smile on their face while gasping for their breaths. ¡®These little kittens have grown already.¡¯ Leo could tell the twins in front of them were none other than his younger siblings, Emily and Evan. He was so happy to see Julia and his younger siblings in one ce as his eyes turned misty. ¡®But, why are they out of breath just after running less than a dozen meters?¡¯ At the same time, Leo was worried about them and hurriedly checked the information on them. ¡®What?¡¯ However, after checking their information, Leo was shocked and felt anxious. Chapter 10 Partially Awakened Talents ¡®How can this happen?¡¯ ¡®Why¡­.just why?¡¯ Looking at the two holographic screens in front of him, Leo was not only anxious, but he was furious. ¡®Ding, Human assessment Name:- Emily Age:- 17 years six months. Hero rank:- None Talent:- Beast control (Partially awakened). Side effect:- weak physique. Note:- If the talent is not awakenedpletely before eighteen, she will die. ¡®Ding, Human assessment Name:- Evan Age:- 17 years six months. Hero rank:- None Talent:- Monster control (Partially awakened).-. Side effect:- weak physique. Note:- If the talent is not awakenedpletely before eighteen, he will die. ¡®They only have six months left to live if they fail to awaken their talentspletely.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he felt the heavens toying with him. For the past ten years, Leo had experienced so many things; however, it was his first time seeing about the partially awakened talents. That¡¯s why he felt hopeless because he was scared he might not find a solution for it in time. ¡®They must have been living much worse than I thought.¡¯ Being an orphan was one thing; however, it was tough to live in this cruel world without talent and a¡¯ Weak physique¡¯. Leo¡¯s heart ached just by thinking how hard it must have been for them. ¡®I have another six months to find a way to awaken their partially awakened talentspletely.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he swore to find a way to help his younger brother and younger sister. ¡®Even though I have seen others controlling beasts and monsters, their talents were fully awakened, and at the same time, they didn¡¯t have weak physiques.¡¯ Leo recalled his encounters with the heroes who could control the beasts and monsters; however, they didn¡¯t have any problems with their bodies or talent. ¡°Sister Julia, who is this?¡± As Leo tried his best to hide his mixed emotions right now, Emily and Evan asked Julia about Leo. ¡°He is Brother Leo, the one who saved me. Say hello to him.¡± Julia introduced Leo to Emily and Evan with a bright smile on her face. ¡°Brother Leo must be very strong, right?¡± ¡°Brother Leo, what is your hero rank? And what type of talent do you have?¡± However, Emily and Evan became curious when they heard Leo saved Julia. So, they asked about his hero rank and talent. ¡°Stop being rude.¡± Before Leo could reply, Ryan berated them because no one wants to disclose their hero rank and talent to others who only met recently. ¡°Sorry.¡± Emily and Evan also knew this. So, they apologized to Leo without any hesitation. ¡°It¡¯s just a talent. They are not going to swallow my talent.¡± Leo shook his head as he answered, ¡°My talent is Teleportation.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared behind Emily and Evan. ¡°Cool¡± Emily and Evan lived their lives without any talent. Also, they never went too far from their home because of their weak body. So, they were always curious about talents and enjoyed seeing others use them. ¡°Of course, it is.¡± Leo revealed a full smile on his face, and it was his first time showing such a smile in front of others. Even when he was in front of Julia, he didn¡¯t reveal it; however, it was apletely different story in front of Emily and Evan. When he was adopted, he was the one who took care of Emily and Evan from the time they were born. In his heart, Emily and Evan were like his children. ¡®I wonder if they remember me.¡¯ When Leo was framed for the murder and got kidnapped, Emily and Evan were just seven years. So, he doubted they would remember him as they were too young. ¡°Yes, it is. What about the hero rank?¡± The twins nodded their heads and asked about his rank. ¡°It is rank 5.¡± Julia answered them as Leo suggested to her that they should hide his rank until they entered the ¡®God ruins¡¯. Soon, Leo, Julia, and the twins started talking about how Leo saved her in the cave as they entered Ryan¡¯s house. ¡®Is he the same person I was walking with until now?¡¯ Looking at Leo¡¯s sudden change in his attitude, Ryan frowned and thought about how emotionless Leo was with him earlier. ¡®There is definitely something off about him. I need to keep an eye on him.¡¯ Ryan followed them and entered his house with that thought in his mind. ¡­ In one of the manors belonging to the Ambermane family, ¡°I heard your friend with the Teleportation talent saved someone whom he should not have saved.¡± After learning about Julia from Zac, Zen went to the manor where Dominic and others were resting. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s because your brother begged him to save her.¡± Dominic was not surprised by Leo¡¯s actions as he calmly replied, ¡°So, how much are you going to pay him for saving her?¡± This question was directed at Zac as he was the one who begged them before entering the city. ¡°Huh? What did you say?¡± Zen looked at Zac and asked Dominic with a severe look on his face. ¡°Ask your little brother about it.¡± Dominic shook his head and didn¡¯t bother to answer Zen. ¡°Brother it¡¯s my fault. I am sorry.¡± Zen was already furious when he heard his little brother had begged a lowly mercenary for a lowly girl, but now, he was being ignored by another lowly mercenary. Zac hurriedly apologized to Zen, fearing that his big brother might vent his anger on him. ¡°Fine.¡± Zen red at Zac before looking at Dominic, ¡°Ask him to kill her. I will not disappoint you with the payment.¡± ¡®Since you are just lowly mercenaries who will do anything as long as you¡¯re paid, I will make him kill her with the same hands that saved her.¡¯ This was the thought in Zen¡¯s head as he ordered Dominic. ¡°We can¡¯t order him because he is not a part of our ¡®Golden Giants¡¯ mercenary squad.¡± Dominic shook his head and continued, ¡°We met him on our way to the Phirie city.¡± ¡°Huh? He is not your squad member?¡± Zen and Zac frowned after hearing Dominic¡¯s reply. ¡°So, how about you kill her?¡± Zen asked Dominic¡¯s squad to finish the mission since they learned Leo was not a part of their group. ¡°It¡¯s just too bothersome to kill her in the city.¡± As he continued, Dominic revealed azy look on his face, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just kill her in the ¡®God ruins¡¯ along with the other young geniuses from the other families?¡± ¡®This bastard¡­does he want me to beg him to kill her? Not a chance.¡¯ Zen felt that Dominic wanted him to beg him. So, he decided what to do with Julia. ¡°Okay then. I will leave you to rest now.¡± After saying that, Zen and Zac left the manor. ¡°Brother¡­are we really going to wait for a week to kill her? What if she does something crazy in the meanwhile?¡± Outside the manor, Zac asked Zen with an anxious look. ¡°Do you think I will wait for that long?¡± With an evil smile on his face, Zen replied, ¡°So what if these bastards need a week to kill her? I can find l lowly mercenaries like them everywhere in this city.¡± ¡°Brother, whenever you smile like that, I know you are nning something good.¡± Zac chuckled as he saw the smile on his brother¡¯s face. ¡°Of course, it is good because I am nning to kill her tonight.¡± Zen left after saying those words, leaving behind Zac, who was excited about Julia¡¯s death. ¡®Let¡¯s see who is going to save you this time.¡¯ Chapter 11 Shadow Vampire In Ryan¡¯s house, ¡°Let¡¯s stop here.¡± Leo and the twins were sitting on a sofa in the hall as Leo narrated a story for a while before standing up. ¡°Brother Leo, please continue the story.¡± ¡°What happened after that?¡± The twins were drawn entirely by the story and wanted Leo to continue telling them. ¡°It¡¯ste already. I will continue the remaining story tomorrow.¡± Leo could tell that the twins had to sleep on time because of their condition. So, he promised them to continue the remaining story tomorrow. Soon, Leo had his dinner with Ryan and others before leaving for his room. ¡®I was waiting for this day for thest 10 years.¡¯ Leo was happy to stay and eat together with his siblings after a decade. At the same time, he was worried about the twins as they didn¡¯t have much time to live unless they fully awakened their talents. ¡®Creak¡¯ ¡®Come out.¡¯-. After closing the door, Leo looked at the corner of the room and muttered in a low voice. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Master.¡¯ Soon, a silhouette came out from the corner of the room and greeted Leo respectfully. The silhouette was pitch ck in colour, looking like a shadow while emitting a ck aura around it. It was wearing a red cloak. Because of the ck aura, the facial features of that being were not visible clearly; however, two sharp teeth can be seen protruding out of its mouth. ¡®Didn¡¯t I order you to not follow me?¡¯ Leo returned to his usual cold self as he asked the shadow sternly. ¡®Master, I am worried about your safety and¡­.¡¯ ¡®Worried about my safety?¡¯ Before the shadow being could finish its words, Leo interrupted and shook his head before asking, ¡®Since you are here, who is managing your duties there?¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s Victor. So, Master doesn¡¯t have to worry about it as you know he is much more capable than I am at taking care of those things.¡¯ dimir was worried that his Master would be angry for secretly following him; however, when he heard Leo¡¯s question, he became happy because it meant that his Master wouldn¡¯t be sending him back. ¡®Victor?¡¯ Leo was surprised by dimir¡¯s reply and asked, ¡®How did you make him take your ce? Even though he was good at those things, he was never interested in them.¡¯ ¡®Of course, it was not easy, master.¡¯ dimir shook his head as he replied in a sad tone, ¡®I had to give him fifty percent of all the mutated beast blood I stored for thest 100 years.¡¯ ¡®Haha¡­no wonder, he epted to take your ce.¡¯ Hearing that, Leo could not help but chuckle and asked dimir, ¡®So, is it worth secretly following me here?¡¯ ¡®Yes, it is.¡¯ dimir nodded his head without any hesitation and exined, ¡®For a shadow vampire like me, protecting my master is the top priority.¡¯ That¡¯s right! dimir was not a human; instead, he was a monster that came out of another world. After residing on earth for more than 100 years, the hideous monsters started gaining consciousness and started evolving into humanoid beings. Among those evolved hideous monsters, Shadow vampires were one of them. ¡®But listening to the Master is not your top priority, right? Also, what about Victor? Is he not a Shadow vampire like you?¡¯ Leo mocked dimir for not following his orders. ¡®¡­¡¯ dimir remained silent and didn¡¯t say anything as he disobeyed his Master¡¯s orders. ¡®As a punishment for disobeying me, you have to protect Julia. You must have already seen her, right?¡¯ At first, Leo was angry at dimir; however, after hearing Victor take over his ce, he was not mad at all. On second thought, he was happy with dimir¡¯s appearance as he would be the perfect bodyguard for Julia. Meanwhile, Leo could focus on other things. ¡®Yes, Master. I saw her earlier. You can rest assured, Master, I will put my life on the line to protect her.¡¯ dimir nodded and swore to protect her even if it cost his life. ¡®Sigh¡­when will you stop your exaggeration? Why do you need to put your life on the line when you can easily escape with her?¡¯ dimir had some unique skills, and even if he met with some powerful heroes, he would easily escape right under their noses without any problem. So, he just asked him to protect her properly. ¡®Yes, master.¡¯ Rubbing the back of his head, dimir embarrassedly nodded his head. ¡®Also, don¡¯t ever let your presence be known to others. Otherwise, even I can¡¯t save you then.¡¯ Leo asked dimir to be careful because humans would not think twice about hunting down a monster that dared to enter a city. ¡®Yes, master.¡¯ Nodding his head, dimir disappeared into the darkness without any trace. ¡­. In the dining hall of the Ambermane family, ¡°I heard she is still alive? Have you developed feelings for her or what?¡± The leader of the Ambermane family, Liam, asked his youngest son Zac in a stern voice. ¡°Father, you must be joking. Why will I develop feelings for a girl like that?¡± Zac was anxious as he hurriedly replied to his father politely. ¡°Hm¡± Liam nodded his head as he continued eating without saying anything. ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I already sent someone to take care of her tonight.¡± After hesitating for a moment, Zen informed his father about what he had nned for Julia. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you do; however, if the family namees out, I will kick you both out of the family.¡± Liam paused eating and looked at Zen before saying those words. After that, he resumed his eating without looking at his sons. Zac and Zen looked at each other and started eating without talking about anything. ¡®They must have gone there already. By the time we finish this meal, we will hear the good news.¡¯ Zac silently thought in his head as he looked at his brother with a grateful look. It was his fault for not taking care of the morning incident, and this time, since his brother was helping him, Zac was very confident Julia would not live past tonight. ¡­¡­ Chapter 12 Vladimirs blood feast In Julia¡¯s house, ¡®What is taking sister Amy so long toe back?¡¯ Julia checked the time and waited for Amy while practicing her talent. Unlike the attacking type heroes, healing type heroes can use their talents in a small space for practice. So, while waiting for Amy, she started using her talent on herself to increase her potential to reach the next level in that talent. ¡®Various studies show that the repetitive use of the talent helps the heroes in levelling up their talents and there is even a small chance of mutation in the talent.¡¯ As an orphan, Julia knew that the only way to be powerful and respectful in this world was to have a high-level hero rank. So, she studied research papers regarding talents whenever she had time. As for Zac, Julia didn¡¯t want to think about it and tried her best to keep her mind busy. Right now, she doesn¡¯t have the power or connections to talk about justice or take revenge on Zac, a young master of the powerful family. ¡­ Some distance away from Julia¡¯s house. ¡°Keke¡­it¡¯s been a while since we killed a young woman in the city. I am excited.¡±-. A masked figure eyed Julia¡¯s house from the distance as he said to the masked figures standing behind him. ¡°Vice Leader, isn¡¯t it a little bit too much to kill a single rank 4 healing type hero?¡± One of the masked figures was dissatisfied with his vice leader for bringing a total of 12 members from their mercenary squad. What¡¯s more, each one of them was at Rank 4 or higher. As for the Vice leader, he was a recently ascended rank 6 attacking type hero. ¡°I feel the same, Vice leader. I can take care of her without putting much effort into it.¡± Soon, the other masked figures alsoined about it. ¡°I know.¡± Even the group¡¯s vice leader agreed with them before saying, ¡°However, there might be a rank 5 or even possibly rank 6 hero with a teleportation talent protecting her. So, that¡¯s why we need more men.¡± ¡°Huh? A hero with a teleportation talent?¡± The masked figures who wereining earlier became shocked for a moment when they heard the vice leader¡¯s words. ¡°Even though the teleportation talent is rare, it doesn¡¯t have any destructive power.¡± ¡°Yes. What¡¯s more, he has to protect her. So, we have another advantage other than having more numbers.¡± Nevertheless, the masked figures didn¡¯t think much about a hero with a teleportation talent. The vice leader of the group also felt the same, which is why he volunteered toplete this mission. ¡°ording to the information we have, that hero is staying in the house next to our target¡¯s house. So, as long as we kill her without alerting him, there is no need to fight him.¡± The Vice leader pointed at Ryan¡¯s house and exined his n toplete the mission with ease. ¡®It¡¯s an easy mission with arge bounty.¡¯ The vice leader was already dreaming about receiving the bounty for Julia¡¯s assassination. ¡°Let¡¯s go and finish this mission.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the 12 masked figures spread out and surrounded Julia¡¯s house before two rank 4 assassins were sent into the house by the Vice leader. ¡­.. ¡®Huh? What¡¯s taking them so long? Did something happen?¡¯ After waiting for a few minutes, the vice leader felt something was off and ordered everyone to enter the house. Even though he only sent two rank 4 assassins, the vice leader knew about their battle prowess. So, when they didn¡¯t return, he didn¡¯t hesitate to go into the house with his subordinates. ¡°Huh? How did they end up like this?¡± The moment the masked figures entered the house, they saw the two rank 4 assassins that came earlier lying on the floor. However, what shocked them the most was the corpses of those two rank 4 assassins turned pale, and their bodies became very thin as though someone had sucked all the blood from their bodies. ¡°Vice leader, are you hiding something from us?¡± All the masked figures became fearful with the sight of those two corpses and hurriedly asked their vice leader. ¡°What are you¡­.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ Before the vice leader could say something, a ck silhouette came out of his shadow and shed the throats of all the masked figures except for the vice leader, who used his dagger to block the sharp nails of the ck silhouette. ¡®Thud¡¯ The masked figures didn¡¯t even have a chance to fight back as they all fell to the ground in disbelief. ¡°Who are you?¡± The vice leader felt a deep sense of fear as he looked at the ck silhouette and asked. ¡°Who am I? Do you really want to know that?¡± dimir was surprised that the vice leader was able to block his nail; however, he didn¡¯t have a slight interest in introducing himself. ¡°If you leave me alive¡­.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ The vice leader looked at the hole in his chest as he fell to the ground without finishing his words. ¡®Leaving you alive ispletely out of the question.¡¯ dimir shook his head as he licked the blood on his fingers and replied to the vice leader¡¯s corpse. ¡®I am going to have a blood feast today.¡¯ The moment he tasted the blood, his eyes glowed with bright red colour as dimir revealed an excited smile on his face. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As dimir was enjoying the blood feast, the cloak on his back heavily fluttered as though itined about something. ¡°I didn¡¯t forget about you as I still need you to take care of all the bodies and blood.¡± dimir caressed his cloak as he said, ¡°As a reward for your work, you can have the rank 6 hero¡¯s blood for yourself.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The cloak became excited hearing dimir¡¯s words. In the next second, it flew out from his back and swallowed the pale and thin corpses that didn¡¯t have a single drop of blood. It didn¡¯t take much time as a Shadow vampire and a red cloak to take care of the bodies. ¡®I hope more and more assassinse for you so that I can have more and more feasts in the future.¡¯ Looking at Julia, who was sleeping on the sofa, dimir silently muttered before disappearing into the darkness. Chapter 13 Amy Icefeather Next day, In Zen¡¯s manor, ¡®Smash¡¯ ¡°What did you say? Your sqad members along with the vice leader disappeared yesterday?¡± Zen smashed a table as he angrily shouted at a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was the leader of the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad, Clemens. Yesterday night, his squad¡¯s vice leader and 11 other squad members went on a mission to assassinate a rank 4 healing type hero. However, they never returned, and there was no news from them. ¡°It was like they disappeared into thin air.¡± Clemens was also furious because he could tell that something had happened to his squad members. ¡°What are you going to do now? Will you return the money you took or are you going to kill her?¡± Zen didn¡¯t even bother about the Vice leader and the other squad members belonging to the ¡®Hidden assasins¡¯ mercenary squad. Instead, he asked Clemens whether he would continue the mission or give up. ¡°Young master, I will personally take care of this mission.¡± Clemens bowed to Zen and quietly left the manor without leaving behind any traces.-. ¡®Did that lowly bastard have other talents?¡¯ After Clemens left, Zen thought about Leo and wondered if he had a second talent other than ¡®Teleportation¡¯. ¡®No¡­it is definitely not possible for a rank 5 hero to make a rank 6, eight rank 5 and three rank 4 heroes disappear into thin air.¡¯ ording to his information, Leo was a rank 5 elite hero with a single talent, ¡®Teleportation¡¯. So, Zen shook his head as he directly eliminated Leo from the picture. ¡®Only an advanced hero can do such a thing.¡¯ Zen concluded that a rank 7 hero might have been involved in yesterday¡¯s incident after thinking for a while. ¡®Is it the Icefeather family? But, I heard they didn¡¯t like her. Also, yesterday, Amy was supposed to be in the meeting with her family.¡¯ For yesterday night¡¯s assassination, Zen had nned everything and didn¡¯t see any problem in killing Julia. However, things didn¡¯t go as nned, and he still didn¡¯t know why. ¡®Since Clemens said he will take care of her, I will wait and see what happens.¡¯ Zen looked into the distance through the window and muttered, ¡®If he can¡¯t kill her, I will have to change my ns for her.¡¯ ¡­.. Julia waspletely oblivious to the events from yesterday¡¯s night as she was in a deep sleep. After waking up, she got ready and rushed to Ryan¡¯s house while dragging a young woman in a sky blue coloured long gown. Of course, Julia dragged her because she wanted to introduce her to Leo, and at the same time, she tried to set her up with Leo. Leo was a perfect match for her sister Amy in Julia¡¯s eyes. ¡°Julia, what are you trying to do? Stop embarrassing me in front of others.¡± Amy could guess what Julia was trying to do and freed herself from Julia¡¯s grip. ¡°What am I trying to do? Of course, I want to introduce you to Brother Leo, the one who saved me yesterday.¡± Julia replied without thinking much as she had already nned to use this reason beforehand. ¡®Sigh¡­this girl¡­.¡¯ Amy shook her head at Julia¡¯s cheekiness as she rubbed her forehead. ¡°Julia¡± Just as Amy and Julia were talking, Julia heard Leo¡¯s voice. ¡°Brother Leo, you came at the right time.¡± When she heard Leo¡¯s voice, Julia was happy and introduced Amy to him, ¡°Brother Leo, she is the sister I mentioned yesterday, Amy. Amy Icefeather.¡± ¡°I am Leo, just Leo. I heard you took care of her for thest 10 years. It¡¯s very rare in this world. I have my respects for you.¡± Leo introduced himself as he added a few good words. Among the people he wanted to meet aftering to Phirie city, Amy Icefeather was one of them. ¡­. ¡®Toby, if you be an advanced hero like my father before thirty, I will marry you.¡¯ ¡®And why will I marry you if I be an advanced hero? I will create my own family then.¡¯ ¡®If I be your wife, I can leave the Icefeather family and take your family name then.¡¯ ¡­. Leo remembered a little conversation with the little Amy from his childhood and could not help butugh at those words. ¡°I am Amy Icefeather. Thank you for saving Julia.¡± Amy was thankful to Leo for saving Julia as she continued, ¡°If you ever need any help in this city, you can feel free to ask me. I will try my best to help you.¡± While saying that, she took out a gold card from her storage ring and gave it to Leo. ¡°With this VIP card, you can enjoy a 20 percent discount in the stores owned by the Icefeather family.¡± Amy exined the benefits of that gold card to Leo, making Leo raise his brows. ¡°Icefeather family¡¯s VIP card? Aren¡¯t you being generous?¡± To Leo, money is thest thing he is worried about right now; however, he doesn¡¯t mind taking a slight discount. ¡°Compared to Sister Julia, it is nothing.¡± With a slight smile on her face, Amy shook her head and asked Leo to take the card. ¡°Okay. I will not stand on ceremony then.¡± Leo pocketed the gold card before asking, ¡°I heard the Icefeather family owns an auction house. I wonder whether I can get the invitations for the day after tomorrow¡¯s auction.¡± Yesterday night, as dimir was taking care of the members of the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯, he met with Dominic and others, who shared the information they had collected about the Phire city so far. ording to that information, the Icefeather family would be hosting a premium auction in three days. Leo wanted to enter the auction as all the bigshots of the Phirie city would be gathered there. ¡°Huh? Auction?¡± Julia was surprised as she didn¡¯t know about the premium auction. ¡®How did he know about it?¡¯ Suddenly, Amy started feeling suspicious about Leo as the ¡®Premium auction¡¯ information was not something anyone could get. ¡°If it¡¯s too much, then just forget it. I just wanted to broaden my horizons.¡± Leo could tell Amy got suspicious about him. So, he asked her to forget it. ¡°No. Since I already promised to help you as long as it is within my power, I can get you an invitation to that premium.¡± Nevertheless, Amy shook her head because even if Leo entered the auction house, there was nothing he could do other than watch the powerful heroes. ¡°Can you get me two passes? I want to take Julia with me.¡± If he went there alone, it would make him the center of attention; however, it would not attract much attention if Julia was with him. Because everyone knew that Amy and Julia were close, they would not be surprised to see Julia in a premium auction that Amy¡¯s family held. ¡°Hm¡­okay.¡± Amy was surprised at Leo¡¯s request once again; however, she understood what Leo was thinking. So, she hesitated a little before nodding her head. ¡°Great.¡± Julia was excited as it would be her first time going to a premium auction. ¡®Ring¡¯ ¡°I have some things to take care of. I will give you the invitations by tomorrow night.¡± Suddenly, Amy¡¯s phone rang, and seeing the caller id, and she hurriedly rushed into the distance. ¡®¡­¡¯ As for Leo and Julia, they looked at each other and then looked at the running Amy. ¡­.. ¡®I want all the information on this brat.¡¯ At the same time, from a distance, an old man secretly clicked a few photos of Leo and sent them to someone, asking them to collect the information on Leo. ¡®He is definitely suspicious.¡¯ The old man silently thought to himself as he disappeared from his ce. Chapter 14 Ice Touch ¡®Ding, Hero assessment. Name:- Amy Icefeather. Age:- 21 Hero rank:- Rank 5 (Mid-level elite hero) Talent:- Sharp eye (level 4), Ice Touch (level 5). Sharp eye:- A talent that helps see the actual value of the items that can¡¯t be seen with a normal eye. Ice touch:- With a simple touch, the hero can freeze anything or anyone for a limited time. Note:- Higher the hero rank, the lower the freezing time. Potential:- Sharp Eye (56 percent) and Ice Touch (8 percent). Looking at Amy¡¯s silhouette, Leo quickly checked her information. ¡®Dual talents?¡¯-. Even though he had seen many heroes with dual talents, Leo was still surprised that Amy awakened two talents. ¡®An attacking type talent and the observing type talent. Looks like she will be bing the family head of the Icefeather family at this rate.¡¯ Leo was sure that she would not have any problem seeding her father in the future. ¡®Master, you are being watched by someone.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo heard dimir¡¯s voice in his head, making him a little annoyed. ¡®Idiot, do you think I didn¡¯t notice that?¡¯ Leo had long noticed the prying eyes of the old man who had taken his photo; however, he paid no heed to him. ¡®Also, if youmunicate with me in broad daylight, you might be seen by an Advanced hero.¡¯ Looking at Julia¡¯s shadow, Leo warned dimir to keep quiet. As a shadow vampire, dimir could hide in the shadows. Since Leo tasked him to protect Julia, he lived in her shadow. ¡°Brother Leo, how do you know about the premium auction?¡± After Amy left, Julia asked Leo with a curious look on her face. ¡®Did you forget that I am an advanced hero?¡¯ Leo answered her in a low voice and continued, ¡®I have my sources to gather information.¡¯ ¡°So, are youing to the auction to broaden your horizons?¡± Leo asked her whether she wanted toe to the auction without waiting for Julia. ¡°Of course. I have never been to a premium auction house. So, I will definitely go there.¡± Julia nodded her head without any hesitation. ¡°But the problem is¡­we can¡¯t buy anything in that auction.¡± Compared to a regr auction, a premium auction only has limited items, and each one of them costs a fortune. Even though she had been saving money for thest couple of years, it was not enough to buy one of those limited items. ¡°Right¡­we need money to buy something from that premium auction.¡± Leo nodded his head as he could understand Julia¡¯s problem. ¡°Since there are still two days left for the Preimum auction, how about weplete a few missions from the city¡¯s mission hall?¡± He waited for a few moments before suggesting to Julia the fastest way to earn money. ¡°Missions from the city mission hall? It is dangerous for ¡­.¡± Julia raised her brows for a moment and was about to reject that suggestion; however, when she remembered that Leo was an advanced hero, she changed her words and said, ¡°What are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go.¡± Even though it was the city leader¡¯s duty to clear all the hideous monsters and the fierce beasts around the city, the city leaders established a ¡®Mission hall¡¯ in their cities. Various missions would be posted in these mission halls, and the residents of the cities could help the city leaderplete those missions. Of course, the city hall would pay handsome rewards depending on the danger rating of the missions. However, even the most straightforward mission in the mission hall requires a group of rank 4 and rank 5 heroes. So at first, Julia was worried, but after remembering Leo¡¯s rank, she was not concerned. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you inform Ryan and others about it? They might be worried about you.¡± Since Leo and Julia nned to take a few missions from the city mission hall, it would take more than one day to return to the city. So, he mentioned Julia to inform others about going out of the city for two days. ¡°Right. I was too excited about it and forgot.¡± Julia revealed an embarrassed smile and rushed into Ryan¡¯s house. ¡®This girl¡­is still eight years old.¡¯ Leo shook his head at Julia¡¯s actions; however, it made him like her more. ¡®I need to earn money too to buy the item that might help Emily and Evan from the premium auction.¡¯ Leo had another reason to enter the premium auction. Besides seeing all the powerhouses of the Phirie city, Leo wanted to find a medicine or an item that could help Emily and Evan awaken their talent fully. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t beat around the bush with Amy and directly asked for the invitations for the Premium auction. ¡®I was able to get the invitations easily because I knew about Amy very well.¡¯ Leo was confident that he would get the tickets from Amy because she was the type to repay for even small things. Even though Leo didn¡¯t like using Julia to get the auction tickets, he didn¡¯t have a choice or time. ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, Julia returned from Ryan¡¯s house as Emily and Evan waved their hands and asked them to return safely. Ryan was not in the house as he had already left for his beast hunting job. ¡­. ¡°Mission hall, I am here.¡± Soon, they reached a magnificent building bustling with many heroes who were entering and leaving the building. Even though the missions in the mission hall were dangerous, so many rank 4 to rank 5 heroes were willing to face those dangers for three reasons. One, they would be paid generously after thepletion of every mission. Two, the more they experience the dangers, the more powerful they be as the repetitive use of talent increases its level. Third and thest, by venturing a lot into the wilderness, the chances of encountering treasures or God ruins would increase. As long as they find at least one ¡®God ruins¡¯ or a powerful treasure, they no longer have to take risks and enjoy the good life inside the city walls. ¡°Let¡¯s enter.¡± Chapter 15 Mission Hall ¡°Let¡¯s enter.¡± No one bothered Leo and Julia as everyone was busy with their things. Those entering the mission hall rushed to pick up the missions, and after picking up the missions, they would register that mission to their name before leaving the building. Soon, Leo and Julia walked to a humongous board filled with so many missions. ¡­¡­ The missions for Elite heroes (Rank 4 to Rank 6) Mission name:- Greedy Mountain Bandits. Mission details:- Recently, the mountain bandits increased their raids on the traveling merchants, making the number of traveling merchantsing to the Phirie city decrease by more than half. Danger:- Leader of the mountain bandits (Rank 5 hero). Hidden danger:- Unknown number of mountain bandits (Rank 4 heroes). Mission reward:- 10 Hero coins per single mountain bandit and 100 Hero coins for the head of the leader. ¡­.-. Mission name:- Clear Iron ore caves. Mission details:- Iron trolls have upied the iron ore caves around the city. Get rid of the iron trolls. Danger:- Rank 4 iron trolls Hidden danger:- Possibility of rank 5 iron troll. Mission reward:- 100 Hero coins for clearing a single cave. ¡­.. Mission name:- Collect special minotaur horns. Mission details:- A peak elite hero with forging talent needs to forge a rank 7 weapon to be an advanced hero. Collect the horns of a rank 6 minotaur king. Danger:- Rank 6 minotaur king. Hidden danger:- It might have 2-10 minions with rank 4 and rank 5 strength under its control. Mission reward:- 1000 Hero coins and a custom-made weapon, depending on your preferences. ¡­.. Mission name:- Collect a rank 6 ingredient. Mission name:- An alchemist hero requires a rank 6 ingredient ¡®Goldhorn flower¡¯. Danger:- A rank 5 Goldhorn wyvern guards the flower. Hidden danger:- The terrain is rocky, and it might not suit regrbat. Mission reward:- 1000 Hero coins. Additional reward:- If you bring the corpse of rank 5 Goldhorn wyvern intact, 200 extra hero coins will be rewarded. ¡­.. There were all types of missions on the mission board, and mostly all of them were requested by the city hall. A few of them were requested by wealthy individuals who didn¡¯t want to go out of the city to risk their lives. Some humans awakened talents rted to Forging, Alchemy, and other nonbat talents. Since they didn¡¯t have much-attacking power, they could only put the requests on the mission board as they don¡¯tck Hero coins. Hero coins are made up of a unique metal that became avable after the appearance of the hideous monsters. The otherworldly beings evaluated it as good metal to be used as the currency in the new world. So, all the cities¡¯ leaders started creating coins from that metal and made it a currency among the heroes. One hero coin is equivalent to 10000 credits, and each mission on the mission board offers at least 100 Hero coins. When converted into credits, it would be one million credits. ¡®Hero coins.¡¯ For Leo, Hero coins were not a novel to him; however, he didn¡¯t bring many Hero coins with him, and the ones he bought with him were used up along his journey. ¡®If not for that event, I would have been one of the richest heroes.¡¯ Remembering something from his past, Leo shook his head and continued, ¡®Nevertheless, I don¡¯t regret it. It was the best thing I did in my life.¡¯ ¡®If I didn¡¯t want to hide my strength, I would have directly picked an advanced mission.¡¯ At the same time, Leo thought about the advanced missions, which pay more than the elite missions. ¡°Brother Leo, which missions shall we pick?¡± Even though there were a lot of missions, one person could pick only one mission, and only afterpleting that mission could they pick another mission. Right now, Leo and Julia could each pick a mission, and since Leo was the strongest, Julia asked him to choose the missions for them. ¡°Let¡¯splete these two missions.¡± After checking the mission board thoroughly, Leo found the two missions that would pay a lot, and at the same time, he noted down the details of the missions and the one who requested that mission in his mind. ¡°Greedy mountain bandits and Clearing the iron ore caves?¡± Julia looked at the mission details, and after checking the dangers regarding those two missions, she became a little worried and asked, ¡°Are you sure about this mission?¡± She had enough confidence in Leo taking care of the iron ore cave after witnessing how he burnt all the snakes in the Serpent caverns. However, she felt uneasy reading the ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯ mission. Unlike the iron trolls, the mountain bandits are humans, and ording to the hidden danger of the mission, there might be hundreds of mountain bandits. Even though Leo might be a rank 6 advanced hero, it would be difficult for him to go against hundreds of elite heroes. ¡°Do you not have enough confidence in me?¡± Leo could see the concern in her eyes and asked her with a barely seen smile on his face. ¡®No. I have confidence in you, Brother Leo; however, killing humans¡­.¡¯ ¡°So, you are against killing humans?¡± Before Julia could finish her words, Leo suddenly realized something and shook his head. ¡®I am an idiot for not thinking about it.¡¯ Leo realized that Julia had lived apletely different life than him. So, what is right in his perspective might not be right in her viewpoint. So, he decided to put the mission back on the mission board as he didn¡¯t want Julia to run away from him for being merciless against those mountain bandits. ¡°No. That¡¯s not it. I am just worried about you, Brother Leo.¡± Julia shook her head and continued, ¡°I hate heroes who do evil things and bully the weak. If I had power, I would have killed those mountain bandits myself.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Leo raised his brows and asked, ¡°So, you are not against killing evil heroes?¡± ¡°Yes and I hope the city leader sends some of the city guards to kill those mountain bandits quickly.¡± Julia said her thoughts regarding the ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯. ¡°It¡¯s decided then. We are taking this mission.¡± After hearing Julia¡¯s words, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate and decided toplete the mission ¡®Greed mountain bandits¡¯ first. Chapter 16 Going Out of the City Mountain bandits loot the merchant caravan that travels between the city. They won¡¯t stop just stealing; they would kill men and r*pe women. Because of them, there would be supply and chain issues for the cities as the traveling merchants have to pay heavily to hire an advanced hero. So, of course, Julia hoped the city leader would send his subordinates to kill them. ¡°We are taking this mission.¡± Once Leo realized that Julia was not against killing evil heroes like mountain bandits, he didn¡¯t hesitate to pick the mission anymore. Leo also hated the mountain bandits as he knew how much damage these mountain bandits could cause to the city. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s register these two missions under our names.¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for Julia to say anything as he pulled her to register the missions. ¡°Mercenary Leo and Healer Julia.¡± Leo¡¯s identity had been verified as the mercenary already. So, he didn¡¯t have any problem registering for the mission. As for Julia, since she is a resident of Phirie city, there was no problem for her while registering for the mission. The one who registered the missions nced at Leo and Julia and shook his head.-. He had seen many heroes who overestimate themselves and pick high reward missions, only to get themselves killed. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t bother to say anything as it was not his duty to warn them. ¡­ ¡°So, which mission shall weplete first?¡± Aftering out of the mission hall, Leo asked Julia to select a mission. ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia didn¡¯t answer Leo¡¯s question as she looked at him with a severe look on her face. ¡°Looks like you have no confidence in your Brother Leo.¡± Leo shook his head as he could tell that Julia was angry at him for picking the ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯ mission. ¡°So, how about this? Let¡¯s go and clear some Iron ore caves to show you how powerful I am.¡± Since Julia felt that he could not take care of the mountain bandits, Leo decided to show her a little bit of his prowess. ¡°Brother Leo, I know you are powerful but it¡¯s just that¡­fighting against the unknown number of mountain bandits alone is not a good idea.¡± As a healer, other than healing, Julia could not fight the other rank 4 heroes, not to mention they didn¡¯t know how many mountain bandits were there. So, Julia once again tried to convince Leo, ¡°The city leader will take care of them.¡± ¡°Julia, if the city leader really wants to clear the mountain bandits, then do you think this mission would have appeared on the mission board?¡± Leo shook her head and said that the city leader might now have any intentions of taking care of the mountain bandits. ¡°Moreover, for each mountain bandit, we would get 10 hero coins. Not only will we make good money but we will also get rid of the evil heroes like mountain bandits.¡± ¡°If you still think we should wait for the city leader to take care of this¡­let¡¯s put it back and take another mission.¡± After finishing his words, Leo turned back, intending to return the mission paper. ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡± However, Julia stopped him and said in a low voice. ¡°Good.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile when he heard Julia¡¯s words. ¡°However, the moment you feel any danger, we should escape.¡± Nevertheless, she didn¡¯t forget to remind Leo that they should escape if things go south. ¡°Of course. When ites to escaping, my Teleprortation talent is the best.¡± Leo nodded his head as he agreed to Julia¡¯s words without hesitation. ¡°Haha¡­Dominic, Mikey¡­I just heard the biggest joke in my life.¡± Just as Leo finished his words, a burst of loudughter came from the distance as a group of three walked past Leo and Julia. ¡°Yeah. If the rest of our friends hear those words, they might dieughing.¡± They were none other than Dominic, Mikhael, and Reba. Like Leo and Julia, they came to the mission hall to pick the missions to make some money for their leader. ¡®These annoying¡­¡¯ If not for Julia, he would have taught them a lesson. Dominic and others knew that, and that¡¯s why they wanted to make fun of Leo while they could. ¡°Brother Leo, leave it. There are always people like her who make fun of others.¡± However, Julia stopped Leo as she could feel the three young heroes who passed them were not weak either. ¡°Yes. They could only make fun of those who don¡¯t want to fight. In front of those who want to fight, they would not even dare to utter a single word.¡± Leo intentionally raised his words as he wanted Dominic and others to hear. ¡°Looks like you two will be having some troubles in theing days.¡± Hearing those words, Dominic said to Reba and Mikhael with a slight smile on his face. ¡°Why only us? What about you? Didn¡¯t you smile earlier?¡± Reba and Mikhael felt a chill when they heard Leo¡¯s words andined that only they would have the trouble. ¡°Did you forget I alway have a smile on my face?¡± Even when he was saying this, Dominic had a smile on his face. ¡°Damn it¡± ¡°Your smile is a cheat.¡± Reba and Mikhael gritted their teeth in anger. ¡­. ¡°Let¡¯s rent a flying mutated beast.¡± After Dominic and the group left, Leo and Julia decided to rent a mutated flying beast. A few humans awakened the talents to control the mutated beast and used their controlled mutated beasts to make some easy money by renting them out. ¡®Screech¡¯ Soon, they rented a mutated crane that could carry two people with ease and flew towards the location of their first mission, ¡®Clear the iron ore caves¡¯. ¡­.. In front of the mission hall, ¡®So, they are going out of the city. It is a good time to find out what happened to the Vice leader and other squad members.¡¯ Clemens, the leader of the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad, looked at the mutated crane in the sky and muttered to himself. ¡°Gather everyone in front of the mission hall in five minutes. We are going out of the city on a mission.¡± He dialed a number and said a few words before ending the call without waiting for a response from the other end. Chapter 17 Enchanted Mission Paper ¡°Julia, stay here. I will clear this cave in a minute ande back.¡± Leo asked Julia to stay at the cave entrance as he entered the first iron ore cave. ¡°Yes, Brother Leo.¡± Julia knew that Leo had a second talent other than ¡®Teleportation¡¯. With the help of his second talent, it would be a piece of cake for him to kill all the Iron trolls in the cave just in a single attack. She also knows that it would be troublesome for Leo to take care of her if she enters the cave. So, she didn¡¯t mind staying at the cave entrance while Leo cleared the cave. ¡­ ¡®Tap¡­tap¡¯ Leo entered the cave with a calm look on his face. The insides of the cave werepletely dark; however, Leo turned on the torch, which instantly brightened the cave. ¡®Kur Kur¡¯ ¡®Kur kur¡¯-. As soon as the torchlight brightened the cave, chattering noises came from all cave corners as though they were angry with the invader. Iron trolls, a humanoid monster that likes to eat iron ores, and the humans who enter the caves to mine the iron ore. However, they had another hobby:ying traps in the wilderness to hunt heroes. ¡®The insides of this cave are much smaller than I thought.¡¯ It was not Leo¡¯s first time entering an Iron ore cave; however, the ones he had entered previously were much bigger than the current one. ¡®Looks like there is no need to waste my time in this cave.¡¯ As though he was disappointed with the size of the Iron ore cave, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time before muttering, ¡®Combustion.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, fiery red mes came out of Leo¡¯s body and burned all the Iron trolls inside the cave. Even the ones hiding underground were no exception, as the heat from those mes was enough to fry them. ¡°Julia, you cane inside now.¡± After clearing all the iron trolls in the cave with a single use of his talent, Leo asked Julia toe inside. ¡°Brother, it didn¡¯t even take a single minute for you to clear this cave.¡± Julia was excited to see that there was not a single Iron troll left in the cave as she informed Leo about the time taken to clear the Iron ore cave. ¡°This cave didn¡¯t even have a single rank 5 Iron troll. It¡¯s just overkill.¡± Leo shook his head and asked Julia, ¡°ce the mission paper on the ground.¡± ¡°Brother Leo, I know you are an advanced hero; however, it is still better to hide it. A rank 7 hero will be an easy target for the powerful families to bully you.¡± Julia knew how powerful families view the heroes without a family name. Moreover, if they knew about Leo, they would either try to recruit him to do their evil deeds or kill him if he didn¡¯t agree to be their dog. When she learned Leo wanted to hide his hero rank, she thought Leo didn¡¯t want to be a servant of the powerful family. So, she asked him to endure it even though it was tough to do. ¡®Looks like this girl misunderstood my reason to hide my hero rank.¡¯ Leo shook his head, but he didn¡¯t try to clear the misunderstanding because he could not say that he was nning to take revenge on those powerful families. ¡®Anyway, it is a good thing that she alwayses with an answer for herself.¡¯ This made Leo have an easy time getting along with Julia; otherwise, he should rack his brain to find a perfect answer every time. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As she encouraged Leo to hide his hero rank, Julia ced the mission paper on the ground, and as soon as she did, the paper glowed with a bright light for a moment before disappearing. ¡®Number of Iron ore caves cleared:- 1.¡¯ In the next second, a new line appeared on the mission paper. The mission paper they picked from the mission board of the mission hall was not ordinary; instead, it was an enchanted paper that could help in proving that someone hadpleted the mission written on it. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± For this mission, there was no limit to the number of the Iron ore caves cleared, and for every Iron ore cave they cleared, they would receive 100 Hero coins. So, they didn¡¯t waste any time and went to the next Iron ore cave. ¡°Yes, brother.¡± Julia was excited because they got 100 Hero coins just like that. So, she hurriedly rushed behind Leo. ¡°Julia, use your talent on me.¡± Along their way to the second Iron ore cave, Leo asked Julia to use her talent on him. ¡°Did you forget, you need to use your talent more and more to increase its level.¡± Before Julia could finish her words, Leo continued saying, ¡°Even though I am not injured, just practice your talent on me to increase your potential.¡± ¡°But, my talent will not gain any experience if my target is not injured.¡± Julia shook her head because she had already tried that. Even when she practices her talent in her room, she will make a slight cut on her palms before healing it. However, the experience she gained healing minor cuts was pitifully less than the healing of the seriously injured heroes. ¡°It will work on me even if I am not injured.¡± Leo said he was different with a slight smile on his face, and her talent would work on him even without any injuries. ¡°Huh?¡± Julia, of course, didn¡¯t believe his words and looked at him to see whether he was ying with her head. ¡°Why don¡¯t you use your talent on me first and check for yourself?¡± Leo asked Julia to check for herself whether it would increase her talent¡¯s experience. ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing that Leo was serious in his words, Julia decided to give it a try as it would not harm her in giving it a try anyway. ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ Julia closed her eyes, and soon, green coloured energy mist came out of her body and entered Leo¡¯s body. ¡°See? It didn¡¯t incre¡­.¡± Halfway through her words, Julia stopped in her words as she looked at Leo with a shocked look in her eyes. Chapter 18 Forbidden Curse, Third Talent ¡°How can I receive such arge amount of experience?¡± It was Julia¡¯s first time receiving such arge amount of experience from using her talent. So, of course, she was shocked as she asked Leo for an exnation. Every time humans use their talent, they would receive some experience that could help their talent level up when enough experience was umted. As the level of the talent increases, the experience their talent needs to upgrade to the next level would also increase. Nevertheless, the amount of experience also increases significantly, but it would still take a lot of time to improve their talent level. Generally, the Heroes¡¯ amount of experience from using their talents was pitifully less. They could not even feel that they received the experience; however, they receive a tremendous amount of experience depending on their situation on some special asions. For example, if an attack-type hero could kill a higher-rank mutated spirit or monster in a single attack, he would receive a lot of experience and feel that experience entering his body. As for a healing type hero like Julia, the bigger the wound or more the number of targets she heals, therger the experience she would gain. ¡°It is because I am an Advanced hero and you are an Elite hero. So, of course, you would receive a good amount of experience.¡± With a slight smile on his face, Leo replied to Julia while secretly checking how much her potential increased. ¡®Ding,-. Potential:- 8 percent / 100 percent. ¡®Five percent increase for a single usage. Not bad.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the amount of experience she gained from using her talent on him. ¡°Is that so?¡± Julia could not believe Leo¡¯s words; however, she had never healed an advanced hero before. ¡®Moreover, Brother Leo said he is different from other advanced heroes. So, I don¡¯t have a choice other than to believe him.¡¯ Julia decided not to think much about it and continued thinking, ¡®I will just increase my experience points by using my talent on Brother Leo.¡¯ For her, increasing her talent level was more important than doubting Brother Leo. ¡®Ding, The ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ healed the host¡¯s soul injuries partially. ¡®Ding, The ¡®Forbidden curse¡¯ activated and damaged those partially healed injuries again. At the same time, Leo received two system notifications in his head, which he ignored without bothering to check. ¡­. Time continued to pass and half a day passed by in a sh. ¡°Brother Leo, there are still three Iron ore caves nearby.¡± Julia ced the mission paper on the ground in an Iron ore cave and informed Leo about the other caves. ¡°Since they are nearby, let¡¯s clear them before setting down in one of the caves for the night.¡± Leo nodded his head as he said they should take a rest after clearing those three Iron ore caves. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the mission paper lit up as the number on it changed. ¡®Number of Iron ore caves cleared:- 15.¡¯ That¡¯s right! Leo cleared 15 Iron ore caves during the past half-day without breaking a sweat. It only took a minute for him to clear each Iron ore care; however, it took some time for them to find the Iron ore care. Also, from time to time, they encountered a few rank 4 or rank 5 mutated spirit beasts, which were, of course, taken care of by Leo. ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ As for Julia, after Leo cleared an iron ore cave, she would use her talent on Leo and increase the experience for her talent. ¡°Brother, the amount of experience I am gaining from healing you is drastically reducing.¡± Juliained when she felt the experience she received was even less than her previous time. However, it was still a lot of experiencepared to the experience she gained from healing her previous teammates. ¡°Of course, the experience would decrease as you continue to use the same target again and again.¡± Leo replied to Julia with a slight smile as he continued, ¡°Still, it must be a lot more than healing the elite heroes, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Julia nodded her head with a bright smile on her face. ¡®Ding, Potential:- 40 percent / 100 percent. ¡®Her talent almost reached halfway into level 5. As long as she continued to use her talent she would be a rank 5 elite hero before the opening of the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡¯ Leo checked her potential and revealed a satisfied look on his face. ¡°So, shall we go and take care of the other three caves?¡± Since the mission paper had already updated their newly cleared Iron ore cave, Julia asked Leo as she retrieved the mission paper from the ground. ¡°Before that, there is something else we need to do.¡± After saying that, Leo walked toward one corner of the Iron ore care and lightly touched the wall. ¡°Huh? What are you doing, Brother Leo?¡± Julia was curious about Leo¡¯s actions because every time Leo cleared the cave, they would leave the cave right away. However, right now, Leo didn¡¯t leave the cave; instead, he seemed to be searching for something. ¡°It should be somewhere in these walls.¡± Leo muttered as he closed his eyes and thought, ¡®Earth Maniption¡¯. The wall beneath his hand started getting separated as Leo¡¯s hand entered the wall. ¡®What? Another talent?¡¯ When Julia saw Leo control the earth wall of the cave, she was shocked by Leo once again. Chapter 19 Iron Ore Fruit So far, Julia had witnessed Leo disy three of his talents. One, Teleportation talent. Even though it didn¡¯t have the direct attacking power, it could be helpful in surprising the enemy if used correctly. Two, Combustion talent. A powerful attacking talent that could damage a vast area. ¡®The third talent seemed to be rted to Earth which could help Brother Leo control the earth. Is that all? or is he still hiding a few more talents?¡¯ Suddenly, Julia felt Leo seemed more mysterious than she thought. ¡°Brother Leo, are you searching for?¡± Nevertheless, she suppressed her curiosity to know whether Leo had more talents; instead, she rushed toward Leo and asked what he was searching for. ¡°Wait for a moment¡­you will know.¡± Leo didn¡¯t exin to Julia what he was searching for as he continued to search inside the walls of the caves. ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia remained silent and curiously waited to see what Leo was searching for. Of course, she would be curious because if something piques the interest of an advanced hero, it would not be an everyday thing. ¡®I wonder what it is.¡¯ Without disturbing Leo, Julia silently thought about the item that Leo was searching for.-. ¡°Found it.¡± It didn¡¯t take much time for Leo to find what he was searching for. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just Iron ore?¡± Julia hurriedly rushed towards Leo and saw a shining grey coloured stone in Leo¡¯s head. However, the moment she saw that stone, Julia lost her interest. ¡°It is not regr Iron ore but a special one.¡± ¡°Special? What¡¯s so special about it?¡± Julia asked with some doubt in her eyes. ¡°Yes. It is an Iron ore fruit.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile on his face and exined, ¡°It is not good for regr humans to consume it; however, for the humans who awakened metal rted talents, it could be considered an invaluable treasure.¡± ¡®Ding, Item name:- Iron ore fruit. Item grade:- Rank 5 Effect:- If consumed by the heroes¡¯ awakened metal-rted talents, their talent will be upgraded by one level, and there is a slight chance of mutation. Limitations:- Effective only on Rank 5 or below ranked heroes. Even though Leo knew about the ¡®Iron ore fruit¡¯, he needed the system¡¯s help in determining the item grade. So, he checked the information on the fruit and was satisfied with the item grade. ¡®Even though it was not high, it was not low either. It could be sold for a good price.¡¯ Since he or his siblings or friends didn¡¯t have metal rted talents, Leo could only sell it off as it would be a poisonous fruit for regr heroes. ¡°What? What type of fruits are grown in these walls?¡± Julia was shocked by the fruit¡¯s effects mentioned by Leo and questioned him. ¡°There is so much in this world you need to learn, little girl.¡± Leo lightly patted Julia¡¯s head as he stored the ¡®Iron ore fruit¡¯ in his storage ring. ¡°Little girl?¡± Julia looked at Leo, who walked out of the cave and angrily rushed after him. ¡­. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°They must be clearing these Iron ore caves. Shall we wait for them toe here?¡± As Leo and Julia were clearing the Iron ore cares for the past few hours, a group of masked figures were searching for them. They were none other than the squad members of the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad. After seeing Leo and Julia leave the city, Clemens gathered all the squad members and hurriedly rushed here. They searched all the Iron ore caves; however, most of them were cleared, and finally, one of the squad members suggested they should wait in front of an Iron ore cave that was yet to clear. ¡°In this area, only these four Iron ore caves are left. Moreover, we can see the remaining three Iron caves from here.¡± Another masked figure agreed with the first masked figure as he informed Clemens about the advantage of staying there. ¡°Fine¡­you must be tired from running for thest couple of hours. Let¡¯s wait here.¡± Clemens could see that his squad members were tired and decided to rest in front of the Iron ore cave. ¡°Thank you, Leader.¡± The masked figures heaved a sigh of relief as they thanked Clemens. ¡°By the way, leader, how can he get rid of Iron trolls in so many Iron ore caves in such a short time?¡± As they were resting, one of the masked figures asked Clemens. ¡°ording to our information, the young man staying with the girl only has Teleportation; however, I think he had a second talent he didn¡¯t disclose while verifying his identity.¡± Clemens didn¡¯t think much as he gave his thoughts on Leo and continued saying, ¡°If my guess is right, he must have a burst type fire talent that covered a vast range.¡± They knew that Julia only had a healing type talent, and after checking the Iron ore caves cleared by Leo, Clemens came to that conclusion. ¡°So,ter, when we deal with him, it is better to cripple him before investigating the disappearance of the Vice leader and the others.¡± Clemens ordered his squad members to be careful when they fight Leoter. ¡°Yes, leader.¡± ¡°As long as you are with us, we are not worried about anything.¡± Everyone didn¡¯t think much about Leo because they were very confident in their leader, who hadpleted hundreds of assassinations with his unique talent. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, Clemens didn¡¯t say anything as he silently waited for Leo while checking the other three Iron ore caves in the distance. ¡­. ¡°How did you know there is an Iron ore fruit in this cave but not the other caves you previously cleared?¡± Aftering out of the cave, Julia asked Leo how he could find it. ¡°I have two reasons. One, the insides of the cave are twice the size of the insides of previous caves I cleared, and Second, this cave had three rank 5 Iron trolls.¡± Leo shared his knowledge about the Iron ore caves with Julia, satisfying her curiosity. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo stopped in his tracks as he looked into the distance with a frown. ¡®Are they rted to the assassins killed by dimir?¡¯ From their attire, Leo could tell they were assassins and guessed their origins. ¡®dimir put Julia into a sleep.¡¯ He ordered the shadow vampire through his thoughts, and in the next second, Julia¡¯s eyes felt heavy as she fell asleep. Before falling to the ground, Leo caught her and carried her back into the cave beforeing out of the cave alone. ¡°It¡¯s time to stretch my muscles a little.¡± Chapter 20 Haunting of Ecstasy ¡°It¡¯s time to stretch my muscles a little.¡± Leo walked out of the cave and stretched his body a little. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Nearly 20 masked figures appeared out of nowhere and attacked Leo in no time. ¡®Teleportation¡¯ However, Leo had long noticed those assassins and used his ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent to dodge the sneak attacks. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After re-appearing some distance away from his previous position, Leo saw nearly 20 masked figures. Five of them were rank 5 heroes, and 13 were rank 4 heroes. Thest one, who looked like the group leader, was a rank 7 hero. ¡°Who sent you? The Ambermane family?¡± Leo didn¡¯t have to think much as he asked the group leader in his usual cold tone. Only a powerful family like the Ambermane family could afford to hire a rank 7 hero. Moreover, the Ambermane family wants Julia dead. So, it was not tough to guess who was behind the group of assassins. ¡°Attack¡± However, Clemens didn¡¯t bother to reply to Leo; instead, he ordered his subordinates to attack Leo again. This time, Clemens didn¡¯t n to join his subordinates; instead, he nned tounch an attack the moment Leo dodged his subordinates¡¯ attacks.-. ¡®Let¡¯s see how you can use your teleportation in such a short time.¡¯ Every time a human uses his talent, he needs to wait for some time before using it once again. The waiting time varies from person to person depending on various factors like the power of the talent, level of the talent and other hidden factors. So, Clemens was nning to use Leo¡¯s waiting time tounch a surprise and severely injure Leo. Clemens was not nning to kill Leo as he still had to investigate what he did to the Vice leader and the other members of his squad. ¡°Huh? What are you waiting for? Just go and attack.¡± However, Clemens frowned when he saw none of his squad members moved from his ce, much less use their talents. So, he angrily shouted at them. ¡°Leader, our feet are stuck in the ground.¡± One of the squad members pointed to the ground. ¡°¡­including yours.¡± Another squad member pointed at Clemens¡¯s feet. ¡°What?¡± Clemens was shocked to see that his feet were also stuck in the ground. ¡°You have three talents?¡± ording to Clemens¡¯s observation, Leo already had two talents, and now, looking at his feet stuck in the ground, he learned that Leo had another talent. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, Leo didn¡¯t bother to answer Clemens¡¯s question as he walked toward the assassin closest to him. ¡®It¡¯s been a while since I swallowed a new talent. Let¡¯s hope I find a good one among these assassins.¡¯ Looking at the assassins, Leo hoped to find some promising talents among these 19 assassins. ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ With a thought, his silver-coloured sword appeared in his hand, which he ced on the assassin¡¯s throat and said, ¡°In the next life, follow a wise leader.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t even give any time to the assassin as he slit his throat with an emotionless look in his eyes. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 4 hero with a ¡®Camouge¡¯ talent ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Camouge Effect:- As long as the user doesn¡¯t make any sound, no one will notice his presence. ¡®Ding, Do you want to swallow it? In the next second, Leo received a series of system notifications in his head. ¡®Camouge? Useless.¡¯ In Leo¡¯s eyes, camouge was useless as he thought, ¡®This time, I will choose a special talent even if I have to waste a few days.¡¯ Leo could extract talent from others once a year at his current level. So, he didn¡¯t want to pick ¡®Camouge¡¯ and wait for a whole year to swallow another talent. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Leader, save us.¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Please help me. I don¡¯t want to die.¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 5 hero with a ¡®Dark poison¡¯ talent. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 4 hero with a ¡®Swift de¡¯ talent. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 5 hero with a ¡®ck sh¡¯ talent. . . . ¡®Ding, Do you want to swallow it? Leo didn¡¯t even raise his brows as he killed one assassin after another in less than a minute. The assassin begged him and asked their leader to save them; however, their fate of dying under Leo¡¯s sword didn¡¯t change. At the same time, Leo received the system notifications regarding the extraction of the talents of the assassins he killed. However, not a single talent piqued Leo¡¯s interest as he shook his head as didn¡¯t bother to waste his breath on them. Soon, except for Clemens, the leader of the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad, everyone was killed right in front of his eyes, and there was nothing he could do to save them. ¡°So, will you tell me who sent you after Julia?¡± Walking toward Clemens, Leo asked Clemens with a carefree attitude. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡°Die¡­you cold b*stard.¡± The moment Leo moved close to him, Clemens¡¯s feet came out of the ground as he pierced a dagger that appeared out of thin air into Leo¡¯s heart. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was surprised by Clemens¡¯s sudden attack; however, his reflexes were fast as he activated his talent ¡®Combustion¡¯. ¡®Boom¡¯ Even though Clemens was a rank 7 hero, he was very close to Leo. So, he was sted into a tree in the distance. ¡°Cough¡­you have a fire type talent.¡± Nevertheless, that attack didn¡¯t kill Clemens; instead, it injured him severely. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°I thought I am the cold b*astard, but it looks like you are way colder than me.¡± Leo scoffed at Clemens as he appeared in front of him instantly as he said those words. Even though Clemens could move his feet out of the ground without any problem, he made everyone, including Leo, believe that he could not move his feet. If he had moved earlier, he might have saved a few of his squad members; however, Clemens chose to sacrifice them and waited for Leo toe closer to him so that he couldunch a sneak attack on him. Even though Leo was cold, he would never sacrifice his friends or subordinates like Clemens. ¡°Who cares about those b*stards anyway¡­.Keke.¡± Clemens chuckled as he continued speaking in a weak voice, ¡°All that matters to me is¡­.killing you.¡± ¡°Haunting of Ecstasy.¡± As soon as he finished his words, Clemens used his talent. ¡®Aargh¡¯ In the next moment, Leo clutched his head and groaned in pain. ¡°For the next two minutes, you will experience hellish pain that will make you beg me to kill you¡­Keke.¡± Clemens continued his eerieughter as he looked at Leo, groaning in pain. Chapter 21 Swallowing a New Talent A couple of decades back, Clemens had created a mercenary squad that only recruited assassins. His mercenary squad hadpleted many assassinations, including the assassinations of hundreds of high-level targets. Clemens, by himself, assassinated most of those High-level targets with ease. And it was all thanks to his talent, ¡®Haunting of Ecstasy¡¯. It is one of the rarest talents that humans have ever awakened. Until now, there was not one of his targets, whether it was a rank 6 hero or rank 7 hero, they all died after experiencing the hellish pain in their head. ¡°All the happy moments in your life will turn into nightmares and give you the hellish pain that makes you rather die than endure it.¡± Looking at the groaning Leo, Clemens wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as heughed at Leo¡¯s misery. ¡°I wanted to injure you as I was curious about how you vanished, my vice leader and the other squad members. It¡¯s a pity that you will die without answering me.¡± Clemens didn¡¯t bother about the disappearance of the vice leader and the other squad members as he was going to be satisfied with the death of Leo. ¡°Once I kill you, I will kill that girl and take my reward from the young master Zen. Since I lost all my squad members, I will ask for a bigpensation.¡± Clemens was not sad that he lost his squad members; instead, he nned to use their deaths for his profit. ¡°Okay¡­I am done with you bragging. I can¡¯t act anymore.¡± Suddenly, Leo, who was groaning in pain, stopped groaning and shed his ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ sword.-. Before Clemens could know what was happening, he lost bnce as he fell to the ground. ¡®Aargh¡­my legs¡­my legs.¡¯ Clemens realized that Leo chopped off his legs only after falling to the ground. ¡°This is how pain should feel like.¡± Leo bent a little and said to Clemens with a cold smile on his face, making Clemens shiver. ¡°How did¡­? How is it¡­possible? My talent¡­.it never failed before.¡± Clemens was shocked at the fact that his talent, which he was so proud of, didn¡¯t work on Leo. ¡°Who said it didn¡¯t work on me?¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ While maintaining the cold smile on his face, Leo pierced his sword into Clemens¡¯ heart without wasting time. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 7 hero with a unique talent, ¡®Haunting of Ecstasy¡¯. ¡®Ding, Talent:- Haunting of Ecstasy. Effect:- All the happy moments of the target will turn into nightmares, and at the same time, the target experiences hellish pain throughout those nightmares. Note:- The more happy moments the target has, the more hellish pain the target experiences for a longer time. ¡®Ding, Do you want to swallow it? As soon as he killed Clemens, the system sent a series of system notifications. ¡®It¡¯s a good talent for torturing. I guess it will be useful when I catch the mastermind behind the death of my adoptive parent. I will swallow it.¡¯ With a calm look on his face, Leo replied to the system. If it were anyone other than Leo, they would have been over the moon to gain a new talent; however, Leo was not excited as he remained calm and emotionless. ¡®Ding, Extracting the talent crystal from the target¡¯s body. Please wait a moment. Soon, a small crystal started materializing above Clemens¡¯ body. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the crystal emerged, Clemens¡¯ body disappeared into nothingness, leaving behind a ring and a dagger. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next moment, the pitch-ck crystal flew into Leo¡¯s hands. It was not his first time extracting the talent crystal from someone¡¯s body; as he turned around, he caught the crystal and walked towards the Iron ore cave. ¡®Gulp¡¯ without any hesitation, he tossed the small crystal into his mouth and swallowed it in a single gulp. ¡®Ding, A new level 1 talent is added to the host¡¯s talent list. There was no dy as he directly received a new talent. Every time Leo gains a new talent, it would be at level 1, and he had to work on it to increase its level on his own. ¡®Ding, The host can extract a new talent in 365 days. Soon, a countdown appeared in front of him, reminding him about his new talent extraction. Of course, he closed that window as he knew he had to wait exactly one year if he wanted to extract a new talent. ¡°dimir¡± ¡°Master, I am here.¡± The shadow vampire flew out of the cave with a single call and respectfully stood in front of Leo. ¡°Take care of the corpses and check for valuables, including Hero coins. Also, protect her until I return.¡± After giving his orders to the shadow vampire, Leo disappeared from his ce and directly appeared in front of one of thest three remaining Iron ore caves. The distance between the two Iron ore caves was around five kilometers; however, Leo had to use his ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent only once to travel such a significant distance. ¡°Time to resume the mission.¡± Soon, Leo entered the Iron ore cave to clear the Iron trolls residing in it. ¡­ In Zen¡¯s manor, ¡°If that b*stard didn¡¯t return to the city, I can conclude that a rank 8 hero is protecting Julia.¡± Zen received the information from one of the watchers that Clemens and half of his squad went after Julia and Leo. Even though the watcher said half of the squad, Zen knew it was the entire squad because a dozen squad members and their vice leader disappeared yesterday night. ¡®Other than that lowly mercenary, there is no one tagging along with her. It looks like I need to confirm his true hero rank and talent.¡¯ Zen didn¡¯t conclude that Leo was a rank 8 hero, and at the same time, he didn¡¯t believe Leo was a rank 5 hero with only a ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent. So, he confirmed it before deciding what he had to do. ¡®Anyway, before that, I need to see whether Clemens will return to the city or not.¡¯ ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 22 Shadow Bats ¡®Number of Iron ore caves cleared:- 18.¡¯ Looking at the line on the enchanted mission paper, Leo nodded his head as he stored it in his storage ring. Leo didn¡¯t know that Zen had already started doubting Leo¡¯s hero rank and talents; however, even if Leo knew about it, he could not care much about it as he had already prepared a backup n. ¡®Since 18 Iron ore cares are cleared, I will get 1800 Hero coins which were nowhere near enough to bid for an item in the premium auction.¡¯ While returning to the Iron ore cave in which Julia was sleeping, Leo calcted how much he had earned today. Obviously, he was not satisfied with his earnings. ¡®Should I just hunt a rank 7 and rank 8 beasts or monsters?¡¯ Leo thought of hunting powerful mutated beasts and the monsters because selling their carcasses would fetch a good price. Moreover, their inner cores could be sold or auctioned off in the premium auction to get an astronomical price. ¡®But, by doing so, I will be openly disclosing my strength, and my ns of taking revenge might be more difficult.¡¯ Leo cancelled his thoughts of hunting the powerful mutated beasts and the monsters.-. ¡®I need to hide my strength until I enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯. Chances of finding a solution for Evan and Emily¡¯s problem are rtively high in the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡¯ Previously, Leo just wanted to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯ to get some treasures; however, now, he had another reason, and it was to find an item that would help Evan and Emily. ¡®Looks like I can only rely on the ¡®Mountain bandits¡¯.¡¯ The main reason Leo picked the ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯ mission was not for justice; instead, it was a highly rewarded mission that gave 10 Hero coins for killing a single mountain bandit. If there were 100 mountain bandits, then it would be 1000 coins and killing the leader of the mountain bandits would give another 100 hero coins. However, what Leo really after was the things Mountain Bandits had umted over the years. ¡®Not only do I have to kill them all, but I have to find their hideout to get their treasures.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he returned to the cave. ¡°dimir, it looks like you have finished cleaning up everything just like always.¡± While walking into the cave, Leo saw not a single drop of blood on the ground. So, he praised the shadow vampire. ¡°Hehe¡­it¡¯s not much. Moreover, thanks to my master, I was finally able to enjoy the blood of a rank 7 hero after a month of waiting.¡± dimir was delighted with his meal, and he thanked Leo with a polite smile on his face. ¡°By the way, did you collect all the valuable things from the assassins?¡± Before leaving the cave, Leo had ordered dimir to retrieve all the items from the corpses before making them disappear. So, he asked about the spoils to see how rich Clemens and his squad were. ¡°Compared to our regr spoils, they are less, master.¡± dimir shook his head in disappointment as he walked towards Leo with a ring in his hand. ¡°I transferred all the items and Hero coins I collected into this storage ring.¡± While giving the storage ring to Leo, dimir informed him that he had stored all the spoils of the battle in it. ¡°Okay. Since you have consumed a lot of blood, go and rest for now. Before that, summon a few of your minions and go.¡± Nodding his head, Leo asked dimir to take a rest, and thetter respectfully bowed before summoning a dozen ck-coloured bats. ¡®Follow his orders without any hesitation.¡¯ After summoning them, dimir ordered them to follow Leo¡¯s order and went back into Julia¡¯s shadow to sleep. The shadow vampire needs a lot of sleep, and the more they sleep, the more powerful they be. ¡®System, project the data from the storage ring.¡¯ Since he had the system, Leo didn¡¯t waste his energy going through each item stored in the storage ring. ¡®Ding, Items inside the storage ring. 1) Hero coins:- 25000 2) Stamina recovery fruits x 20 3) Beast cores:- One rank 7, five rank 6, 20 rank 5 and 100 rank 4. 4) A rank 7 dagger 5) 18 rank 5 daggers. Soon, a list of items appeared in front of Leo; however, it was not enough to excite Leo as he had much better items and more money in the past. ¡®25000 Hero coins? As expected of a rank 7 assassin whopleted hundreds of high-level missions.¡¯ Leo was not surprised that Clemens¡¯ mercenary squad had 25000 hero coins because advanced heroes earn so much. For elite missions in the mission hall, the minimum reward for a single mission was at least 100 hero coins; however, the minimum reward for the least dangerous mission was at least 1000 hero coins for advanced missions. Moreover, Clemens was an assassin and hiring an assassin costs a fortune. ¡®Stamina recovery fruits are nothing special or valuable for heroes as they only cost one hero coin each.¡¯ ¡®However, surprisingly, he had a rank 7 beast core which could be sold for a fortune along with other beast cores.¡¯ ¡®The same goes for the rank 7 dagger and the rank 5 daggers.¡¯ Once he returned to the city, Leo nned to sell them all. Of course, he would hide his identity. ¡®Even though a rank 7 beast core and a rank 7 weapon might attract a little attention, I don¡¯t think it will be a problem.¡¯ It might be a problem for others to hide his identity; however, Leo was an expert when it came to that. Nevertheless, even if he was good at it, he didn¡¯t want to attract too much attention. So, he was not nning to sell many high-level beast cores or weapons. ¡®Now, I am on a mission for you, Shadow bats.¡¯ Once he sorted out the spoils he gained, Leo looked at the dozen ck-coloured bats and gave a mission to them. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 23 Minotaur King Next day morning. ¡°Brother Leo, when did I fall asleep yesterday?¡± After waking up, Leo and Julia started walking in the direction of their next mission. Along the way, Julia asked Leo about her sudden sleep. ¡°You said you are too tired from walking all day and fell asleep.¡± Leo replied in a calm tone while checking his surroundings. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Shh¡± Before Julia could say something, Leo asked her to remain silent. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Even though Julia was confused by Leo¡¯s sudden actions, she stopped talking and looked in the direction Leo was looking at. ¡®Moo¡¯ What appeared in her sight were three humanoid beings with the heads of a bull with a muscr body and carrying giant axes on their backs. ¡®Minotaurs?¡¯ Julia read about them as they tried to invade the Phirie city once with other monsters; however, they could not break the defence of their city.-. Later, the city leader killed their leader, which scared the remaining monsters away with tails between their legs. ¡®Yes. They are known for their brute force. With a single swing of their axes, they can even destroy huge boulders, not to mention trees.¡¯ Leo shared themon knowledge about the minotaurs as he continued, ¡®Looks like we are in luck today.¡¯ ¡®Luck?¡¯ Julia didn¡¯t understand why they were lucky because even if they killed the three minotaurs in front of them and sold them in the city, they would not even get 50 Hero coins. Because the only valuable things they could sell after killing a minotaur were its horns and battle-axes, even those things were not very valuable. ¡®There is a mission where a human with forging talent requires the horns. Don¡¯t you remember?¡¯ Leo lightly smacked Julia¡¯s head as he reminded her about the mission. ¡®Of course, I remember.¡¯ Julia rubbed her head as she nodded her head and said, ¡®However, we didn¡¯t pick the mission paper. So, we can¡¯tplete that mission.¡¯ ¡®Who said we can¡¯tplete?¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile on his usual cold face as he eyed the three rank 5 minotaurs in the distance. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me you are nning to sell the horns directly to the person who requested it.¡¯ How could Julia not understand what Leo was thinking as she revealed a slight smile on her face signifying that she was with him on whatever he was nning? ¡®However, we need the horns of a rank 6 minotaur king and not these minions.¡¯ Julia checked her surroundings to see whether there were more minotaurs nearby. ¡®To find the minotaur king, all you need to do is¡­.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before he could finish his words, Leo disappeared from his ce by using ¡®Teleportation¡¯ and directly appeared in front of the three minotaurs. ¡°¡­.Kill them.¡± Unlike before, this time, Leo spoke in a loud voice as he killed two rank 4 minotaurs in a single sh. ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ The two minotaurs only saw a human appear in front of them out of nowhere before falling to eternal sleep. ¡®Moo¡¯ As for thest rank 4 minotaur, it became anxious with the death of itsrades and released a loud cry. ¡°Good. I lost your uselessness now.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ After saying those words, Leo killed thest rank 4 minotaur with a slight smile on his face. ¡°Brother Leo, you should have interrogated thest minotaur instead of killing it?¡± After seeing Leo kill the three rank 4 minotaurs, Julia walked out of her hiding ce and shook her head in pity while looking at the corpses on the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. There will be more minotaursing this way in a few seconds.¡± Leo pointed in a particr direction with a slight smile on his face. ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, Julia can¡¯t see anything other than trees and bushes in that direction. ¡®Thud¡­thud¡­.thud.¡¯ As soon as she finished her words, Julia heard the stomping sounds, and at the same time, she felt the ground below her shake a little. ¡°Looks like more minotaurs areing here than I thought.¡± Leo said to Julia with a calm look before asking her, ¡°Why don¡¯t you stand back a little while I take care of them.¡± ¡°But brother, are you sure you can take care of the entire horde of minotaurs?¡± Julia was a little worried because they could shake the ground from afar just from their stampede. So, she asked Leo with a concerned look on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Like I said before, if I can¡¯t defeat them, I will bring us out of here.¡± Leo assured Julia as he took a few steps forwards and looked at the iing minotaur horde. In the horde, there seemed to be nearly 100 minotaurs who had the strength of rank 4 and rank 5; however, because of their stampede, Leo could not see them properly. ¡®System, can you see whether this horde has a rank 6 minotaur king?¡¯ So, he asked the system whether it could sense the rank 6 minotaur king because he needed its horns. ¡®Ding, Detected the energy fluctuations of a peak rank 6 minotaur king in the horde. ¡®Good. It looks like I canplete this side mission sooner than I thought.¡¯ Once he got the confirmation from the system, Leo revealed a satisfied look on his face. ¡®Thud¡­thud¡­.thud.¡¯ ¡®Earth maniption¡¯ Leo waited until the horde was within a 500-meter radius before cing his hands on the ground and using his talent. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A huge hole appeared on the ground in the next second, and the entire minotaur horde fell into that huge hole. ¡°As expected of one of the least intelligent monsters.¡± Leo looked into the hole and said those words, walking over to the edge. ¡®Moo¡­.moo¡¯ All the minotaurs released their angry battle cries; hearing those words, ¡°Silence¡± With a single word from a minotaur, all the rank 4 and rank 5 minotaurs became silent as they continued to look at Leo with rage-filled eyes. That minotaur was much bigger than the other minotaurs, and its horns were gold in colour, unlike the other minotaur. From its appearance, it was apparent that this minotaur was the leader of this horde, the minotaur king. ¡°If you are a man, fight me in a one-on-one battle fair and squad. If you defeat me, I will be your ve, and if I win, you have to be my ve.¡± After controlling his minions, the minotaur king looked at Leo as he challenged him to a duel. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 24 God Stone Among the monsters that appeared in the world, minotaurs were known for using their strength, and when ites to intelligence, even a ten-year-old could outsmart them. However, when ites to Minotaur king, they were different because, unlike the regr minotaurs, they could think, and that¡¯s how they gained the title ¡®Minotaur king¡¯. ¡°So, what do you say? Will you ept my duel? Or are you scared? Haha.¡± The minotaur king tried to look as confident as he could because, right now, he was in a goddamn hole where his muscles were useless. ¡°Before that, let me ask you a question.¡± Leo didn¡¯t show any emotion as he asked, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ When he heard Leo¡¯s question, the minotaur king raised his brows before replying, ¡°I was just training my subordinates how to stampede.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Leo nodded his head with a calm look on his face. ¡®What a joke!¡¯-. Of course, Leo didn¡¯t believe the minotaur king¡¯s words as he could tell something was fishy. Even though they were far from the Phirie city, monster kings would not dare to run amok with their minions in such an open ce. ¡®Looks like shadow bats were right. These minotaurs seemed to be searching for something.¡¯ Leo recalled the information he received from the shadow bats and concluded that the minotaur king was searching for something. Earlier, when they encountered three minotaurs, Julia thought they were lucky; however, it was not luck; instead, Leo used the shadow bats to track down the location of the minotaurs. So, after waking up, he guided Julia to the ce where minotaurs were searching for something. ¡°You want a duel, right?¡± Coming out of his thoughts, Leo asked the minotaur, who nodded his head excitedly. ¡®As long as I cane out of this damn hole, I will make sure to kill you.¡¯ Minotaur king didn¡¯t have any ns to turn Leo into an enved person; instead, he wanted to kill him. Minotaurs don¡¯t like when someone messes with them, and they won¡¯t stop until they kill that ¡®someone¡¯. That¡¯s how simple the minotaurs are, and even the minotaur kings are no exception. ¡°Come out then.¡± With a thought, an earthen pir rose from the ground below the minotaur king¡¯s feet. ¡°Before we start our duel, let me take care of them.¡± At the same time, Leo ced his hand on the ground, and the huge hole got covered as all the minotaurs were buried alive. ¡°Why did you do that? Release them all.¡± The minotaur king was already furious with Leo¡¯s actions, and when he saw that Leo buried all his minions alive, he could not control his anger anymore as he rushed toward Leo with full force. ¡°And why should I do that?¡± Leo scoffed at the minotaur king as he continued, ¡°Why don¡¯t you calm down for a bit.¡± Just as the minotaur king took a few stomps, a huge hole appeared once again below his feet as he fell into it. ¡°B*stard, let me out.¡± ¡®Hmph¡¯ Smoke came out of his nostrils as he mmed against the earthen wall in anger. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t say anything as he waited until the minotaur king controlled his anger. After waiting for a few minutes, the minotaur king stopped mming against the earthen wall and looked at Leo with his suppressed anger. ¡°Why don¡¯t you have a fair duel with me? The deal from earlier still stands.¡± The rank 6 minotaur king once again asked Leo to have a fair deul with him in a calm tone. Since he had already lost his entire horde, the minotaur king wanted to take revenge against Leo by killing him. So, he suppressed his anger and tried to bait Leo. ¡®Even though I am not as intelligent as the other monster kings, I knew no human could resist the temptation of having a monster king as his ve.¡¯ This was the thought in the minotaur king¡¯s head when he proposed that deal. ¡°It will fight you fair and square on the ground; however, you have to answer my question honestly.¡± Leo had been waiting for this moment for a while now. So, he nodded his head to the minotaur king¡¯s words; however, Leo wanted the minotaur king to answer his question before that. ¡°Sure.¡± Right now, the minotaur king would do anything to have a fair and square deul with Leo. So, he nodded his head without any hesitation. ¡®I was right. Humans always want to be the masters of monsters. He is also no exception.¡¯ The minotaur king was happy with Leo¡¯s words and waited for Leo¡¯s question. ¡°Now tell me, what are you doing here with your entire horde?¡± Leo asked his question while looking down on the minotaur king. ¡°Huh?¡± After hearing that question, the minotaur king became slightly alert and started thinking about his reply. ¡°Don¡¯t give me you minotaursh*t and tell me the truth; otherwise, just forget about your ¡®Fair and square duel¡¯.¡± Seeing that he was thinking, Leo scoffed at the minotaur king coldly and asked him to answer him honestly. ¡®Should I tell him the truth? First, I need toe out of this hole to search for that thing. Also, in the fair and square duel, I will kill him and look for that thing.¡¯ The minotaur king¡¯s thinking was simple as he decided to answer Leo honestly. ¡°I am searching for a griffin that stole my race¡¯s god stone. While it was escaping, I injured it sev¡­.¡± ¡®God stone?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to hear the minotaur king¡¯s words anymore as he was pleasantly surprised by the words ¡®God stone¡¯. ¡®I need to get my hands on this ¡®God stone¡¯ at any cost.¡¯ Leo¡¯s eyes burned with zeal as he looked at the minotaur king in the hole with a cold smile on his face. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 25 There is no fairness in this godforsaken world A God stone is a special stone containing the energy to help advanced heroes upgrade their talents. The level of the talent and if the advanced heroes were lucky, their talents might even mutate and be more powerful. So, when Leo heard about the ¡®God stone¡¯ from the minotaur king, he decided to get his hands on that invaluable stone at any cost. ¡°Are you sure that griffin is hiding somewhere here?¡± Leo asked the minotaur king without wasting any time with a serious look on his face. ¡°Yes. I can feel that the God stone is within a five-kilometer radius around us.¡± The minotaur king didn¡¯t want to answer; however, he decided to answer Leo when he thought that there would be a ¡®fair and square duel¡¯. ¡°Five-kilometer radius?¡± Leo raised his brows for a moment and nodded his head. ¡°So, let¡¯s have the duel¡­.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ A silver light pierced through his chest before the minotaur king could finish his words. ¡®Did he just kill me?¡¯-. Looking at the hole in his chest, the minotaur king asked himself and looked at Leo before asking, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you will fight me fair and square?¡± ¡®Kacha¡­kach¡¯ With a single thought from Leo, the ground below the minotaur king rose as he was brought to Leo. ¡°There is no fairness in this godforsaken world.¡± Leo replied to the minotaur king with a stern look, who took hisst breath after hearing those words. ¡°Brother Leo, we can get another 1000 hero coins after delivering these horns.¡± Pointing at the golden horns of the minotaur king, Julia excitedly said to Leo. One thousand hero coins were a lot for her, and she could not control her excitement. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that we can alsomission a weapon from him free of cost.¡± The cold look on Leo¡¯s face disappeared as he revealed a slight smile on his face while reminding Julia about the other reward for getting the golden horns. ¡°Of course.¡± Obviously, Julia didn¡¯t forget about the rewards as she nodded her head before asking, ¡°By the way, what is the ¡®God stone¡¯?¡± Even though Julia was away from Leo, she could hear their conversation. So, she asked Julia with a curious look on her face. ¡°It is a stone that makes a rank 9 hero go crazy. Not only will it increase the level of your talent, but it might even mutate your talent.¡± The city leaders ssified the information as the ¡®God stone¡¯. Except for a few rank 9 heroes, no one knows about the ¡®God stone¡¯ effects. So, Leo was not surprised at the fact that Julia didn¡¯t even know about the existence of the God stone. ¡°What?¡± After hearing about the effects of the ¡®God stone¡¯, Julia was astonished as she asked Leo, ¡°Is there really such a stone in this world?¡± ¡°I have only heard stories about it, but I am sure it exists.¡± Even Leo could not get his hands on the ¡®God stone¡¯. That¡¯s why he wanted to find the ¡®God stone¡¯ this time at any cost. ¡°Brother Leo, you must find that stone and use it. After that, you don¡¯t have to hide your hero rank anymore.¡± After getting Leo¡¯s confirmation about the God stone¡¯s existence, Julia asks Leo to get that God stone. Julia didn¡¯t think about requesting Leo to give her the God stone because she knew that Leo needed it more than she did. ¡®As long as Brother Leo uses it, he will be a rank 8 hero, and he doesn¡¯t have to hide his strength anymore.¡¯ This was the only thought in her head. Generally, a rank 8 hero could create his own family, and the city leader would protect him as long as he swore to defend the city from the monster or beast hordes. Once that happens, the powerful families would not bother Leo to join their families. ¡°Before we dream about using the God stone, we need to find it.¡± Leo lightly smacked Julia¡¯s head to make here out of her thoughts. ¡°Let¡¯s search and catch ¡®Looter Griffin¡¯.¡± Julia rubbed her head; however, her excitement didn¡¯t vanish as she was highly motivated to find the Griffin that stole the God stone from the Minotaur king. ¡®This girl¡­¡¯ Looking at Julia¡¯s actions, Leo shook his head with a bitter smile. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t say anything as he silently followed her. ¡®dimir, send all your minions and find that, Griffin.¡¯ While following behind Julia, Leo transmitted his voice to the shadow vampire. When ites to tracking down or searching for something, Shadow Vampire was the best. So, he didn¡¯t hesitate to order his servant to find the Griffin that stole the God stone. ¡®Yes, master.¡¯ dimir came out of Julia¡¯s shadow as he jumped into a nearby tree¡¯s shadow and disappeared without a trace. ¡®With dimir searching for the griffin, I can be at ease.¡¯ Even though Leo thought that he could be at ease, his heart could not remain calm. Leo¡¯s heart was anxious because he feared that the Griffin might use God¡¯s stone or someone else might catch the Griffin. ¡®I hope such a thing will not happen.¡¯ There was nothing Leo could do about it other than consoling himself with such thought. ¡­. ¡®Master, I found the griffin.¡¯ It didn¡¯t take much time for dimir to move with good news. ¡®Really? Where is the God stone? Why didn¡¯t you kill it already?¡¯ Leo was excited as he asked the Shadow Vampire a few questions when he saw he didn¡¯t bring the God stone. ¡®Master, the thing is, that griffin is holding a stone, possibly the god stone, in its mouth¡­.¡¯ ¡®Good. You did the right thing.¡¯ Before dimir could finish his words, Leo understood why he didn¡¯t kill it. The moment the Griffin swallows the god stone, the stone will turn into energy. So, Leo didn¡¯t want something like that to happen. ¡®What is the rank of that griffin?¡¯ At the same time, Leo asked dimir about the Griffin¡¯s strength. ¡®It¡¯s only a rank 5 mutated beast, Master.¡¯ dimir replied to Leo while staying hidden in the shadows. ¡®Rank 5? Then I still have a chance.¡¯ After hearing about the mutated beast¡¯s strength, Leo felt hopeful again as he started nning how to retrieve the god stone from Griffin¡¯s mouth. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 26 Fragment of the God Stone ¡°Brother Leo, there is a griffin in that tree hole.¡± Julia pointed at a tree hole in the distance and said to Leo with an excited look on her face. After learning about the griffin¡¯s location from dimir, Leo brought Julia to that location. Even though Julia was suspicious, she followed Leo¡¯s directions without saying anything because it was customary for advanced heroes to have good senses. Nevertheless, they soon found an injured griffin hiding in a tree hole. ¡°The god stone¡­.is in its beak.¡± Leo focused entirely on the griffin¡¯s beak and soon saw a small ck-coloured stone. ¡®Appraise.¡¯ Leo used the system to know whether it was a good stone or not? ¡®Ding, Item name:- Fragment of the God stone. Item Type:- One-time use.-. Effect:- 1) It can help a rank 7 mutated beast or a monster be a rank 8 being. 2) It can help a rank 7 hero be a rank 8 hero. Note:- The heroes, the beasts and the monsters before rank 7 should not use it unless they want to explode because of the extremely powerful energy stored inside the fragment of the God stone. Special effect:- The host needs toe into contact with the fragment of the God stone to see the special effect. ¡®It¡¯s only a ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯?¡¯ Leo was a little disappointed; however, after reading the effects of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯, he felt it was still a valuable item. ¡®Even though I only rank 7 heroes, I can keep it and give it to either Ryan or Julia in the future when they be rank 7 heroes.¡¯ Leo silently thought as he looked at the special mutated beast in the tree hole. The special mutated beast that was holding the fragment of the God stone in its beak was called Griffin, a mutated beast with the head of an eagle and a body of a lion. The Minotaur king had severely injured the griffin and was waiting for its death. Even though it had a fragment of the god stone in its beak, the griffin didn¡¯t dare to swallow it because it could sense there was a lot of energy in it, which would make its body explode. ¡°Looks like Griffins are good at sensing energies.¡± Seeing how careful Griffin was with the fragment of the God stone, Leo could tell that it already knew about the powerful energy stored inside it. ¡°Julia, move closer to it and use your talent on it.¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo asked Julia to go closer to it. ¡®¡­¡¯ Even though Julia acted bravely until now, she was scared to move closer to the griffin as its strength was at rank 5. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; it can¡¯t move from its ce. So, it can¡¯t attack you,¡± Leo assured her that the rank 5 griffin would not attack because it could not even move from its ce. ¡°Also, I can¡¯t go near it as my strength is enough to scare it, which would automatically trigger the stone.¡± ¡°Just follow my n and always check my hand signs as you proceed to the n¡¯s next step.¡± He added a few more words and exined why he could not go near it, and at the same time, Leo exined to her his n. ¡°Ok..okay.¡± Julia nodded her head and slowly walked towards the tree hole, mustering her courage. ¡®Screech¡¯ Seeing Julia, the griffin, of course, showed aggressive behaviour; however, just like Leo said, it didn¡¯t move from its ce. ¡°I am not going to attack you. I will help you.¡± When she heard the griffin¡¯s screech, Julia shivered a little; however, she tried her best to reveal a gentle smile and said she would help it. ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ When she was around 35 meters away from the tree hole, Julia used her talent as small green light dots came out of her body and covered the entire 40 meters radius around her. Forty-meter radius was the limit of her talent, and all the targets chosen by Julia would be healed. The griffin showing aggressive behaviour, calmed down a little when the green light dots fell on its body. The injuries on its body slowly started closing as the griffin let its guard down and slowly rested its eagle head on the ground. Of course, the fragment of the God stone was still inside its beak. ¡®She is doing good.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with Julia¡¯s performance as he signalled her to move to the next step of their n. ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t have enough energy. Why don¡¯t you eat this fruit?¡± Julia spoke gently, fearing that the griffin might go back to its aggressive behaviour. At the same time, she threw a green-coloured fruit that Leo gave her earlier at the griffin. It was one of the stamina recovery fruits that Leo got from the ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad. ¡®¡­¡¯ The griffin opened its eyes and looked at the fruit in front of it and then took a nce at Julia for a moment. ¡®Fu¡¯ It carefully kept the stone in its beak aside before swallowing the fruit in a single gulp. If the griffin was not injured, it would not have bothered to eat the stamina recovery fruit; however, it had been chased by the Minotaur king and its minions for an entire day. Moreover, it also got severely injured by the Minotaur king. After sensing that Julia was a kind-hearted human, the griffin swallowed the fruit to satiate its hunger. ¡®It¡¯s time.¡¯ On the other side, Leo was waiting for this moment and used his teleportation talent to appear beside the Griffin instantly. ¡®Screech¡¯ With the sudden appearance of a human beside it, the griffin released a loud screech and wanted to attack the human. ¡°Stay quiet.¡± With a single hand, Leo pressed its eagle head to the ground and picked the fragment of the God stone from the ground. ¡®Finally, I got my hands on it.¡¯ Leo looked at the small piece of ck stone in his hands and muttered. ¡®Let¡¯s see what its special effect is.¡¯ Holding down the griffin, Leo appraised the stone in his hands once again to check its special effect. Chapter 27 Stubborn Griffin Even though Leo had already appraised it earlier, the system asked him toe into contact with the stone to see the special effect. Usually, Leo would not be very curious about the special effects; however, this time, he could not control his curiosity because it is rted to the God stone. ¡®Even though it is just a fragment of the God stone, he still has some of its power.¡¯ Just from the effects of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯, Leo could tell that it has some of the God stone¡¯s power. So, he wants to see what special effect it has. ¡®Ding, Item name:- Fragment of the God stone. Special effect:- It can reduce the cooldown on the ¡®Talent swallowing ability of the host by three months for a single time. ¡®What? It can reduce the cooldown by three months?¡¯ Leo could not believe his eyes because it was his first time seeing such an effect. ¡®It¡¯s been five years since I received the system; however, it is the first time I can reduce the cooldown by three months.¡¯ ¡®So, I just need to wait for another nine months before swallowing another talent.¡¯ Even though it was only a three-month cooldown reduction, Leo was happy as he knew the value of the time. ¡®Wait for a second¡­if I find three fragments of the God stone, I can swallow the next talent right away, right?¡¯ Leo suppressed his excitement as he asked the system about it.-. ¡®Ding, Yes. ¡®Good¡­very good.¡¯ With the system¡¯s confirmation, Leo decided to find more fragments of the God stone. ¡®Even though it is very rare, it is not impossible to find more fragments anymore.¡¯ Since there is a single fragment of a God stone, there must be more fragments of the same God stone, right? Leo thought this in his head as he decided to explore the wilderness more after taking care of the God ruins and his revenge. ¡®If I continue to explore the wilderness, even if I didn¡¯t find the fragment of the God stone, I might even find some useful items that might help Emily and Evan.¡¯ Leo kept note of all the things he had to do in the future. ¡®Ding, Do you want to use the special effect of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯? ¡®Ye¡­wait a second.¡¯ Leo nearly nodded his head; however, he thought he might be wasting the fragment of the God stone on him to reduce three months. On the other hand, he could use it on a rank 7 hero to help them be a rank 8, which seemed more beneficial than reducing three months. ¡®Ding, The host need not worry about it. The normal effect and special effect of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ depends on two different energies stored in it. ¡®Ding, So, even if the host uses the special effect, the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ will not disappear, and the host or others can use it. Just as Leo was thinking of keeping the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ aside for Julia or Ryan, he received two system notifications in his head that pleasantly surprised him. ¡®Two types of energies? What are they?¡¯ Leo was curious about the two energies and asked the system about them. ¡®Ding, The host needs to be a ¡®Supreme hero¡¯ to learn about such things, or you can upgrade the system. ¡®But you will not tell me how to upgrade ¡®You¡¯, right?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to ask the system any more questions as he knew the system would not reply to him. ¡­. ¡°Brother Leo¡± Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard Julia call him. ¡°Are you going to kill it?¡± Seeing that Leo came out of his thoughts, Julia asked him while pointing at the griffin that Leo single-handedly subdued. ¡°Even though its meat could fetch some good price, I am in a good mood today. So, I am not nning to kill it.¡± Leo shook his head as he removed his hands from the griffin¡¯s head. ¡®Screech¡¯ The moment he removed his hand, the griffin used itsst bit of energy to jump at Leo. However, before it could reach Leo, a hand made up of earth came out of the ground and pulled it back onto the ground. ¡°Aren¡¯t you quite a fierce one?¡± Once again, Leo ced his hand on its head as he pressed it down and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why you stole this fragment of the God stone, or I have no interest in learning your story.¡± ¡°If you want to live, eat them and don¡¯t bother me.¡± Putting a few stamina recovery fruits on the ground, Leo turned his head and walked toward Julia. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Julia.¡± Since they received what they came from, Leo didn¡¯t want to waste any time and decided to leave. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ Julia looked at the griffin and shook her head in pity, and used her talent onest time on the griffin before running after Leo. ¡®If it encountered someone other than Brother Leo, they would have killed it.¡¯ ¡®As long as it eats those fruits, it could have enough energy to recover from its injuriespletely.¡¯ These were the thoughts in Julia¡¯s head as she quietly followed behind Leo. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, the griffin didn¡¯t bother to eat any fruits and flew toward Leo with great difficulty. Nevertheless, its speed was barely enough to keep up with Leo and Julia. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s following us¡­.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother looking at it. If it wants to follow, then let it follow.¡± Before Julia could finish her words, Leo interrupted her as he continued with an emotionless face, ¡°In its current form, it will die even before it can catch up to us.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go andplete our next mission ¡®Greedy Mountain Bandits¡¯.¡± Julia was a kind-hearted girl, and even though she didn¡¯t have a good opinion of the mutated beasts, she felt pity for the griffin. However, Leo was cold and emotionless as he asked her not to bother with it. ¡°I¡­I can¡¯t do it.¡± Julia tried to control her emotions; however, she could not do it as she turned back to heal the griffin. ¡®Screech¡¯ However, the griffin screeched at her before moving away from her. ¡®What?¡¯ Julia raised her brows in confusion as she didn¡¯t understand why the griffin would fly away from her when she was trying to heal it. ¡°It doesn¡¯t want your healing. It wants this fragment of the God stone.¡± Shaking his head, Leo exined why it moved away from Julia¡¯s healing range. ¡°Griffins are known for their stubbornness. So, just let it follow us until it dies.¡± After saying those words, Leo didn¡¯t even bother to wait for Julia as he walked towards a mountain in the distance. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 28 Entering the Bandit Mountain Even though Leo knew that the stubborn griffin wanted the fragment of the God stone, he didn¡¯t have the slight intention of giving it away just like that. At the same time, Leo didn¡¯t want to kill it as it helped him get the fragment of the God stone. Nevertheless, he knew it would notst for long with its half-recovered injuries and decided to let it follow them until it died. Time continued to pass as five hours passed by in a sh. Leo and Julia were still walking towards a mountain, and behind them, a griffin followed in a half-dead state. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Julia would either try to heal or feed it something; however, the griffin was still as stubborn as it was five hours ago. In the end, she could only sigh and give up on it. ¡®It is persistent. I never expected it would hold for more than five hours.¡¯ Leo secretly took a few nces at the griffin and silently evaluated it. He was impressed with it; however, he would not give away the fragment of the God stone just because he was impressed with its persistence. ¡°Finally, we are here.¡±-. After walking for another 30 minutes, Leo and Julia reached the base of a mountain. ¡°Is this the notorious bandit mountain?¡± Julia had heard about it when she was in her old team. Even though everyone knows this mountain is the home of mountain bandits, no one dares to enter it to capture them. Because the entire mountain was filled with all kinds of traps that might even kill a rank 7 hero if he was careless. ¡°This entire mountain is filled with mountain bandits. So, do you want to follow me?¡± Leo asked Julia because he felt there was no need for Julia to enter the mountain full of bandits. ¡°Even if you follow me, I can protect you while taking care of these mountain bandits.¡± Before Julia could answer, Leo, assured her that protecting her was not a big issue for him. ¡°Brother Leo, I think I should stay here. But please don¡¯t take long.¡± Julia thought about it for a while and decided to stay behind. She wanted to follow Leo and see how he would kill the mountain bandits who killed hundreds or even thousands of innocent people. However, at the same time, she didn¡¯t want to be a burden to Leo as it might put both of them in danger. ¡°But, leaving you here, I don¡¯t feel assured. So, follow me.¡± After saying those words, Leo didn¡¯t wait for Julia¡¯s reply as he entered the mountain. ¡®Earth maniption.¡¯ The moment he entered the bandit mountain, Leo used his earth maniption talent to trigger all the traps within a 10-kilometer radius around him. ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ In the next moment, all thendmines exploded, hidden arrows rained on the empty ground, and all types of traps were triggered. ¡°Who dares to mess with our ¡®Bandit mountain¡¯?¡± Themotion caused by the explosions was great as many rank 4 and rank 5 mountain bandits rushed towards the mountain base. ¡°Who do we have here?¡± Initially, when they heard the explosion, all the mountain bandits felt the Phirie city¡¯s leader had sent some powerful guards to take care of them. That¡¯s why so many rank 4 and rank 5 mountain bandits were assembled in such a short time. However, aftering to the mountain base, all they could see was a young man and woman in their early twenties and behind them, an injured griffin. ¡°Looks like we will have a party tonight¡­haha.¡± One of the mountain bandits looked at Julia andughed as his perverted looks were all over Julia. ¡°I don¡¯t like the look in your eyes. Why don¡¯t you close them forever.¡± Leo revealed a cold look on his face when he heard the bandit¡¯s words as he directly took action. Just as he finished his words, the bandit who looked at Julia with perverted looks fell into a hole that appeared below his feet. Before the other mountain bandits could pull him out of the hole, the hole closed, burying that mountain bandit alive. ¡°Someone dig here and pull him out.¡± ¡°As for others, kill that brat and let¡¯s enjoy the girl.¡± The mountain bandit who had the strength of rank 6 hero ordered the rank 4 and rank 5 mountains. ¡®So, he is the lord of these mountain bandits.¡¯ It was clear that the mountain bandit with the strength of rank 6 hero was the strongest one. So, Leo guessed he was the leader of the mountain bandits. ¡®But ording to the details on the mission, there will be no rank 6 bandit and only a single rank 5 bandit who was their leader.¡¯ ¡®However, there are more than a dozen rank 5 bandits, and their leader was a rank 6 bandit. Isn¡¯t it a little too much incorrect information?¡¯ Leo thought about the details of this mission and realized that the entire information was wrong. ¡®Looks like the mission hall of Phirie city is not working properly.¡¯ The mission hall of every city should only put the missions on which they have urate information. Even if they were a single mistake, they would be punished by the city leader; however, the information on Leo¡¯s current mission waspletely wrong. Even if a group of elite heroes took the mission, they would have never returned to the city. ¡®What do I even expect from the Phirie city?¡¯ Leo shook his head as he observed all the mountain bandits and causally checked their talents. ¡®For mountain bandits, their talents are not bad.¡¯ Almost all the mountain bandits have good attacking type talent that makes them even more fierce. ¡®But too bad, they have me as their enemy now.¡¯ Leo shook his head and waited for the mountain bandits toe at him. ¡°Yes, Vice lord.¡± Everyone respectfully nodded their heads at that rank 6 mountain bandit before executing those orders. ¡®Vice lord?¡¯ When Leo heard those words, he was surprised and thought, ¡®So, he is not the leader of these mountain bandits.¡¯ ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 29 Mountain Fiends ¡®Frost arrows¡¯ ¡®Firest¡¯ . . After receiving the orders from their vice lord, all the mountain bandits rushed towards Leo. ¡°You are very eager to die.¡± Leo revealed a cold smile on his face as he looked at the hundred mountain bandits rushing towards him. ¡®Teleportation¡¯ With a single thought, Leo disappeared from his ce. ¡°Huh? Where did he go?¡± Leo¡¯s sudden teleportation surprised all the mountain bandits as they hurriedly looked for Leo. ¡°Are you looking for me?¡± Leo¡¯s cold voice came from the center of the rushing mountain bandits as he continued speaking, ¡°Since you are very eager to die, I will not waste your time.¡±-. ¡®Combustion¡¯ After finishing those words, he activated his destructive talent to burn them into ashes. ¡®Aargh¡¯ ¡®Save me.¡¯ ¡®Please, someone help me.¡¯ The cries and groans of the mountain bandits resounded in the entire bandit mountain. It only took a few moments before all the mountain bandits fell to the ground with their half-burned bodies. The mountain bandits trying to dig the ground to help the mountain bandit buried alive were also no exception as they burnt alive. ¡°Who¡­are you exactly.¡± Finally, the vice lord of the mountain bandits had a shocked look on his face when he looked at Leo. ¡°Who am I? I am Leo.¡± Leo slowly walked towards the vice lord of the mountain bandits as he introduced himself with an emotionless look in his eyes. ¡®He is more powerful than me. I need to inform the lord about him.¡¯ Even though the vice lord was a rank 6 hero, looking at Leo, he didn¡¯t have the confidence to fight against him. ¡®Smoke screen¡¯ After witnessing the disy of ¡®Teleportation¡¯, ¡®Combustion¡¯ and ¡®Earth maniption¡¯, the vice lord didn¡¯t hesitate and used his talent to run away. The entire ce was surrounded by ck smoke as the vice lord had already rushed towards the leader of the Mountain bandits. ¡°Brother Leo, that rank 6 bandit, he was escaping.¡± Julia was very far from the smokescreen. So, she was able to see the running away Vice lord in the distance and hurriedly informed Leo. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He is not going anywhere; instead, he will be leading us to the treasure these mountain bandits had umted over the years.¡± This was Leo¡¯s true goal because he knew that as long as he got his hands on the treasures, these mountain bandits were hiding, buying a few things in the premium auction won¡¯t be a problem for him anymore. ¡®However, from the looks of it, they must have umted so much more than I initially guessed.¡¯ Leo revealed a cold smile as he started walking towards the mountain top along with Julia and the injured griffin followed them silently. After witnessing Leo¡¯s strength, there was a spark in its eyes; however, at the same time, its eyes were filled with despair. As for what it was thinking, no one other than the griffin itself knows about it. ¡°Brother Leo, shall I ce the mission paper on the ground to collect the information?¡± Suddenly, Julia thought about the enchanted mission paper because they needed to show the data of the mountain bandits they killed to receive the rewards for the mission. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about it. It will do no good if we collect the data as the mission hall was never intended to pay us for this mission.¡± Leo shook his head and asked her not to record the data of the mountain bandits. ¡°What¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s catch the leader of the mountain bandits and let¡¯s find out the real truth behind this mission.¡± Before Julia could ask him a question, Leo shared his thoughts with her before resuming his walk to the top of the mountain. ¡®I wonder where went wrong in this mission.¡¯ Leo sensed s a conspiracy behind this mission and wanted to learn more about it. ¡­ On the mountain top, ¡°Lord¡­lord¡­emergency. A young man killed all our mountain bandits in a single attack.¡± The vice lord rushed to a cave, kneeled in front of it, and shouted as loudly as possible. ¡°Huh? Who dares to do that?¡± Soon, a muscr old man in beast clothing walked out of the cave with a furious look. ¡°He is a monster in human clothing. Not only he has three talents and all of them were either rare or powerful.¡± The vice lord informed everything he had witnessed at the mountain base to the old man in beast clothing. ¡°It¡¯s been a while since I saw someone with three talents. Good¡­good.¡± The leader of the mountain bandits was no longer furious or sad at the death of his followers; instead, he was happy to find someone with three talents. ¡°If my guess is right, he might being here anytime soon. Why don¡¯t you sit aside and watch a good show.¡± The leader of the mountain bandits knew that even though his vice leader was a rank 6 hero, he was not strong physically; instead, he was clever and quick-witted. And that¡¯s how he was able to be the vice leader of the mountain bandits. ¡°Yes, leader.¡± The vice leader nodded his head as he hurriedly rushed to a side and waited to see the good show. ¡®Even though that young man has three talents, he is no match for the leader.¡¯ He revealed a lot of anticipation on his face as he started guessing how long Leo wouldst against the leader of the mountain bandits. ¡°So, you are the one who killed my followers¡­.Haha. You are quite young but so powerful already.¡± It didn¡¯t take much time for Leo to reach the top of the mountain along with Julia. Seeing him, the leader of the mountain bandits asked with a burst of hugeughter. ¡°So, you are the leader of the mountain bandits. You are quite old but still very weak. I wonder what you are doing all these years without increasing your strength.¡± Leo countered the leader of the mountain bandits with his usual carefree look. ¡°Haha¡­you think it¡¯s funny to counter me? You are wrong¡­It¡¯s not funny at all.¡± The old man¡¯sughter disappeared as his face contorted with anger and shouted, ¡°Mountain fiends, kill those bastards.¡± ¡®Crr¡¯ ¡®Gurr¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, ten ugly-looking creatures rushed out of the cave, and their target was Leo. ¡®Huh? Rank 7 mountain fiends?¡¯ ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 30 [Bonus Chapter]Mountain Fiend King ¡®Huh? Rank 7 mountain fiends?¡¯ Looking at the ugly creatures rushing towards him, Leo silently muttered to himself. ¡®But, why are they listening to him?¡¯ Leo was not surprised to see the mountain fiends; instead, he was astonished that these mountain fiends were entirely in the control of the Mountain bandit¡¯s leader. Mountain Fiends are the hideous monsters that don¡¯t have any intelligence as they only work on themands of their master. They looked like hyenas; however, they had long tongues, with rocks protruding from their bodies and the salivaing out of their mouths. Overall, it looked hideous. ¡®If they were willing to follow his words, then that means there is only one possibility.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo realized something as he intently looked at the old man without bothering with the iing mountain fiends. ¡®So, that¡¯s how you can control them.¡¯ It only took a few seconds for Leo to understand how Lehner could control the mountain fiends. Lehner was none other than the leader of the mountain bandits. He frowned when he saw Leo was intently staring at him. ¡®Arcane silver, it¡¯s time to drink from rank 7 monster¡¯s blood.¡¯ A silver light shed in his hands as his sword appeared before the mountain fiends reached him. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯-. Leo didn¡¯t even move from his ce as he casually swung his sword while looking at Lehner. ¡®Cool¡¯ Leo¡¯s sword was so fast that Julia only saw a silver light cutting the ugly looking monsters. ¡°A sword expert?¡± Lehner raised his eyebrows as he didn¡¯t expect the young man to be a sword expert. Moreover, after witnessing how he killed his rank 7 monsters without breaking any sweat, he concluded that Leo was a powerful hero. ¡°Is that all or are you still hiding more mountain fiends inside the cave behind you?¡± After killing the ten mountain fiends, Leo looked at Lehner and asked calmly. ¡°Young man, I am impressed with your sword skills.¡± After thinking for a moment, Lehner replied to Leo as he offered, ¡°Why don¡¯t you join my Bandit mountain? As long as you agree, I will directly make you a vice leader of this mountain. What do you say?¡± ¡°Sure¡± To Lehner¡¯s surprise, Leo agreed to his offer without any hesitation, making him reveal an excited smile. ¡®Teleportation¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared behind Lehner. ¡°However, before that, I want to meet the true leader of this mountain.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ After finishing his words, Leo casually shed at the empty air. ¡®Puchi¡¯ Even though there was nothing, there was a ¡®Puchi¡¯ sound, and at the same time, green coloured blood was sshed on the ground. ¡°How did you¡­.¡± ¡®Kacha..kacha¡¯ Before Lehner could finish his words, he fell to the ground, and his body became pale and lifeless in the next second. ¡°Roar¡± At the same time, an angry roar came from the cave that made the vice leader of the mountain bandits shiver. ¡°Human, you have made a great mistake.¡± Soon, a colossal mountain fiend with purple stones protruding out of its body came out of the cave and roared at Leo. ¡®Ding, Monster name:- Mountain Fiend King. Strength:- Rank 8 As for Leo, he received the basic information about the giant monster in front of him, making him raise his brows. ¡®Taking care of regr rank 8 or even rank 9 monsters is not a problem; however, killing ¡®King-type¡¯ beings will be a ltitle troublesome.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he slowly walked back. ¡°Where do you think you are going?¡± Seeing that Leo was walking away from it, the Mountain Fiend King scoffed at him before attacking him with its long saliva-dripping tongue. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo disappeared before the tongue could reach him, and he reappeared directly in front of its mouth. ¡°I heard the mountain fiend kings like thier tongues very much.¡± With a cold smile, he said those words before shing the tongue of the mountain fiend king. ¡®Roar¡¯ Since the tongue had fully stretched to catch Leo earlier, the mountain fiend king¡¯s entire tongue was cut off as it fell to the ground and twitched for a few moments before stopping. ¡°Yuu¡­Baastuurd, I¡­umm guingg tu gill yuu.¡± Because it lost its tongue, the mountain fiend king could not speak properly as it furiously jumped at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo again used his ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent to dodge the mountain fiend king¡¯s attack and reappeared on its back. ¡°I think it¡¯s time to leave this world.¡± As soon as he finished his words, Leo used his entire force to stab the mountain fiend king with his strength. ¡®ng¡¯ However, Leo¡¯s sword didn¡¯t go through the skin of the mountain fiend king, making Leo frown. ¡°Nuuw, get uff uf me.¡± The mountain fiend king didn¡¯t waste any time as it shook off Leo from its back. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ While Leo was still in mid-air, the mountain fiend king¡¯s tail stretched and aimed for Leo¡¯s heart. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as the sharp needle of the mountain fiend king pierced Leo¡¯s chest by an inch, Leo used his ¡®Teleportation¡¯ to disappear and escape the attack. ¡®I was only careless for a moment and my heart nearly got pierced.¡¯ Leo was careless for a moment, and the result was that he was thrown into the air before getting stung by its tail. He became serious as he looked at the mountain fiend king and started nning how to kill it. ¡­ ¡®What the hell? When did such a powerful creature appear on this mountain?¡¯ ¡®As for this young man, how can he be so powerful at such a young age?¡¯ On the side, the vice leader of the mountain bandits was shivering as he witnessed the fight between Leo and the Mountain fiend king. ¡®Anyway, I should not stay here any longer.¡¯ So, he decided to run away as he knew he was not powerful enough to defend either of them. ¡®Puchi¡¯ However, just as he took a couple of steps, he saw a sharp needlee out of his chest. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®Slurp¡¯ In the next second, he felt all the blood in his body was being sucked by something, and before he could check what it was, the life in his eyes disappeared. ¡­. ¡°Haha¡­my tongue is back now.

Why don¡¯t you show the other two talents?¡± The mountain fiend king was satisfied with its earlier attack despite missing piercing through Leo¡¯s heart. Instead, it asked Leo to show his other three talents. So far, Leo had only shown his ¡®Teleportation talent¡¯ to the Mountain fiend king, and it wanted to see the other two talents. ¡°There is no hurry in it.¡± However, Leo shook his head as he asked, ¡°So, is it your n to issue the mission ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯ in the mission hall?¡± Even though Leo¡¯s sword could not pierce through the tough defence of the mountain fiend king, he remained calm and was curious about the mission. ¡°That¡¯s right!

It bothered the mountain fiend king a lot, and when he saw a serious look on Leo¡¯s face, it felt like it found Leo¡¯s weakness. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Do you think I am foolish enough to let my tongue be shed by you twice? It¡¯s not going to happen.¡± The mountain fiend king also guessed that Leo would appear in front of Julia.

Within no time, they already surrounded Leo and others while waiting for their King¡¯s orders. ¡°So, are you going to protect or are you going to fight me?¡± The mountain fiend king was taking time to summon its entire army because it sensed that it could not kill Leo that easily. At the same time, after sensing that Leo¡¯s sword didn¡¯t prate its defence, it knew that Leo could not kill it either. However, if its army surrounded Leo¡¯s weakness, it would quickly kill Leo. ¡°Brother Leo, I am sorry.

However, she didn¡¯t ask Leo anything because it was not the right time. ¡°Go now.¡± After Julia mounted the griffin, Leo asked the griffin to leave. ¡°Not so soon.¡± However, why would the mountain fiend king let go of Leo¡¯s weakness? Moreover, Julia had witnessed its true form. So, it didn¡¯t want Julia to leave the bandit mountain at any cost. ¡°Don¡¯t let that griffin and the girl leave from here.¡± Soon, it ordered its minions without wasting any time. ¡°Rarr rarr¡± The mountain fiends became excited as they finally received the order from their king and jumped at Leo and others. ¡®sh¡¯ However, a silver light shed as Leo instantly killed the ten mountain fiends that jumped at them in a single sh. ¡°As long as I am here, no one can stop them from leaving here.¡± Leo looked at the mountain fiend king in the distance and scoffed at him before looking at the mountain fiends. ¡®p p¡¯ Soon, the griffin started flying into the air. ¡°Is that so?¡± The mountain fiend king scoffed at Leo¡¯s confident words before saying, ¡°Open your wings and follow them.¡± ¡®Kacha¡¯ Just as the mountain fiend king finished its words, wings appeared on a few mountain fiends among the hundreds of mountain fiends. ¡°As expected of a rank 8 king type monster.

Alongside these five undead rank 9 monster kings, there were another five undead rank 9 heroes. Those ten were the pinnacle beings below the rank 10 or Supreme rank. Other than those ten beings, there were many rank 8 heroes, beasts, and monsters, making the monster fiend king unconsciously shiver. ¡®Who is he?¡¯ ¡®How can a rank 5 hero have such powerful beings as undead beings?¡¯ ¡®Did I meet a monster in human clothing?¡¯ ¡®Can I even escape from him?¡¯ The mountain fiend king¡¯s head was filled with questions as it was trying to find a way to survive. ¡°Since you are going to be one of them anyway, I will answer your question.¡± Leo¡¯s undead beings have already killed the hundreds of mountain fiends that surrounded him earlier. So, he casually walked towards the mountain fiend king with a calm smile. The mountain fiend king didn¡¯t say anything as it continued to think of a way to escape while listening to Leo¡¯s words. ¡°As long as I give the killing blow, I can summon them back from the dead using my talent ¡®Call of the Undead¡¯.¡±-. Leo answered the mountain fiend king¡¯s question as he had already reached closer to it. ¡°What did you say? You killed them?¡± The mountain fiend king shivered after hearing Leo¡¯s reply, and it stopped thinking about escaping because it felt useless to even think about it. ¡°I will acknowledge you as my master and be your servant. Please, don¡¯t turn me into an undead.¡± The mountain fiend king bent all its four legs and begged Leo. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am not going to turn you into an undead.¡± Leo shook his head as he assured the mountain fiend king. ¡°Thank you, Master. I will serve¡­.¡± [Arcane silver¡¯s skill ¨C Absolute pration] ¡®Puchi¡¯ Before the mountain fiend king could happily finish its words, Leo activated the special skill of his sword ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ and pierced the mountain fiend king¡¯s skull. When the humans with support-type talents like forging or weaponsmithing reached advanced ss, the weapons they refined might unlock the skills. Even though the chances were less, it was not impossible, and Leo¡¯s ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ was one of those weapons with skills. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste my energy in turning you into an undead.¡± Pulling out his sword, Leo replied to the mountain fiend king that fell to the ground with disbelief in its eyes. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 8 Mountain fiend king. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing hundred rank 8 monster kings until now. ¡®Ding, The host is rewarded with a level 8 ¡®Talent upgrade crystal¡¯. Note:- The rewards items can¡¯t be gifted to others. Soon, Leo received a series of system notifications that made him nod his head. ¡®Looks like I have all the luck in the world aftering to my home city.¡¯ Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile when looking at the reward. ¡®A ¡®God ruins¡¯ will be opening soon.¡¯ ¡®I found a fragment of the God stone.¡¯ ¡®And now, I received a level 8 ¡®Talent upgrade crystal¡¯. If it is not luck then what is it?¡¯ Leo muttered to himself as he thought about the good things happening to him after returning to the Phirie city. A talent upgrade crystal is a rare item that started appearing along with the appearance of the monsters and the mutated beasts. As its name says, it can help a human upgrade his talent by one level. As for a level 8 crystal, it could upgrade a level 7 talent into a level 8 talent. ¡°Everyone, you can feast on them.¡± Once he killed the mountain fiend king, Leo didn¡¯t bother to send his undead beings again; instead, he ordered them to feast on the corpses of the mountain fiend king and the mountain fiends. ¡®Rrr¡¯ The undead beings don¡¯t have much intelligence as they only follow Leo¡¯s orders and start munching on the corpses. ¡®While they enjoy their feast, I will upgrade my ¡®Combustion¡¯ to rank 8.¡¯ Even though Leo could use the fragment of the God stone to increase the level of his talent, he felt it would be a waste to use it to increase the level of one of his talents. Because Leo would receive the talent upgrade crystals from the system on a regr basis, and since they could not be given to his family or friends, he decided to store the Fragment of the god stone. However, he could use the level 8 ¡®Talent upgrade crystal¡¯ without hesitation. ¡®Ding, The host used a level 8 ¡®Talent upgrade crystal¡¯ to increase the level of his ¡®Combustion¡¯ talent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯sbustion has reached level 8. It only took a few seconds as Leo¡¯s talent was upgraded from level 7 to level 8 without any issues. ¡®Let¡¯s see how powerful it became.¡¯ With a thought, Leo checked the information on his upgrade talent. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Combustion (Level 8) Effect:- Everything within 5 kilometers of the user can be reduced to ashes. The user can control the distance. ¡®The range of the mes increased from 1 kilometer to 5 kilometers. As expected of a fire-type talent, its destruction increases with its level.¡¯ Leo was only focused on the radius, and after seeing that it increased by five times, Leo nodded his head calmly. ¡°Since everything is taken care of, it¡¯s time to im the rewards.¡± He took the ¡®Greedy mountain bandits¡¯ mission for their treasury, and since the mountain bandits and the mountain fiends were killed, Leo could peacefully search for the treasury. ¡®I am very sure all the treasures will be inside the cave.¡¯ Looking at the cave from which the mountain fiend king came out earlier, Leo decided to enter it. ¡®Th..these are¡­.¡¯ After entering the cave, Leo saw numerous bones, and he was sure that they belonged to the humans. ¡°From when did it start eating humans, to have these many bones in the entrance of the cave itself?¡± Leo was sure that the mountain fiend king had been feating on humans for a long time. ¡®I wonder how many humans got trapped by the fake mission details.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t feel any pity for those humans who got eaten by the mountain fiend king because he knew the new world¡¯s rules very well. ¡®If you are not strong enough, get ready to die at any moment.¡¯ With that thought in his head, Leo continued his walk deeper into the cave and finally reached the ce he was searching for. ¡°Is this a Bandit¡¯s treasury or a City treasury?¡± Leo was shocked after seeing the items gathered by the mountain fiend king and the mountain bandits. ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 33 Treasure Trove ¡°Is this a Bandit¡¯s treasury or a City treasury?¡± In front of Leo, countless Hero coins were lying around, with many weapons and artifacts of various grades. Even the city treasury might not have that many Hero coins as the City leader had to use them to increase his city¡¯s defenses. Of course, there were some exceptions, like the Phirie city, where Leo sensed no upgrade in the city wall from thest ten years. So, he doubted that the city leader might not even spend much on the city¡¯s development either. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t have to worry about the money anymore for a while.¡± Even though Leo knew the mountain bandits looted all the Hero coins in front of him, he wasn¡¯t guilty of taking them. ¡®System, take them all into the storage ring.¡¯ Leo extended his hand with a calm look as all the Hero coins, weapons, and artifacts disappeared from the ground. ¡®Ding, Items stored in the storage ring are:- 1) Hero coins:- 29 million coins. 2) Fragment of god stone x 2 3) Weapons x 1655 4) Artifacts x 1233 ¡®Ding, There are no rank 7 or above grade weapons or artifacts.-. ¡°29 million Hero coins?¡± Leo was surprised at the list of items on the holographic screen; however, he was utterly shocked when his eyesnded on the second item. ¡®What the hell? There are two fragments of the god stone?¡¯ Leo could not believe his eyes as he hurriedly took out the two fragments of the god stones to check them. ¡®Even though I said it was not hard to find fragments of god stones anymore, I didn¡¯t think it would be this easy.¡¯ ¡®Does that mean, the mountain fiend king was nning to break into the rank 9?¡¯ There was only one reason why two god fragments would appear in this cave, and it was because of the mountain fiend king. Other than the monster king, the mountain bandits might not even know about the existence of the God stone, much less collect them. ¡®Looks like taking this mission was the right thing.¡¯ Not only did he gain 29 million hero coins, but he also gained three fragments of the God stones. ¡®Ding, Detected the two fragments of god stones. Do you want to use the special effects of these stones? He received the system notification as he held the two fragments of god stones. ¡®Sure.¡¯ Since he could use the special effect of the stone without destroying the normal effect, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he used them to reduce the cooldown on his talent swallowing ability. ¡®Ding, The special effects of the two fragments of god stones are used. ¡®Ding, Next talent extraction in :- 89 days / 365 days. ¡®At this rate, I will have my next talent very sure.¡¯ Just yesterday, Leo had used his ability to swallow a talent, and with the help of three fragments of the god stones, Leo received his waiting time by one-fourth. ¡®As long as I find another fragment of god stone, I can swallow a new talent without waiting.¡¯ Leo looked forward to finding a new fragment of God stone as he slowly turned around to leave the cave. Since he got the bandit¡¯s treasure trove, Leo decided to return to the city and prepare for the uing premium auction. ¡®I hope the Phirie city¡¯s premium auction will not disappoint me with its limited items.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t worry about bidding for the limited items anymore with his storage ring full of hero coins. ¡®System, among the pile of weapons and artifacts, are there any good things for Julia, Ryan, and Amy?¡¯ Since the system had already assessed those three, Leo didn¡¯t say anything; instead, he asked the system to find the items. ¡®Ding, Please give me a moment. Soon, the system started searching for suitable weapons and artifacts for the three people that Leo mentioned. ¡®Ding, Artifact name:- Enigma Staff. Grade:- Rank 5 Effect:- 1) Heals the targets at double speed. 2) Doubles the experience gained by the user. ¡®Ding, Artifact name:- Ring of Fire. Grade:- Rank 6 Effect:- 1) Doubles the fire damage done by the user. 2) It has 100 cubic meters of storage inside it. ¡®Ding, Artifact name:- Ice eater. (Bracelet) Grade:- Rank 5 Effect:- 1) As long as it is fed ice, it will heal the user. Note:- The more ice is provided, the sooner the user¡¯s injuries will be healed. ¡®Ding, As for the weapons or armours, the system didn¡¯t find anything useful because they were either not suitable or broken. Leo only took a few steps before the system showed him the details of the few artifacts that were suitable for Julia, Ryan, and Amy. ¡°They are good.¡± Leo nodded his head as he felt they were a perfect match for Julia and others. ¡°Keep them aside, and as for the other weapons and artifacts¡­.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before he could finish his words, the silver sword tattoo on his wrist shed as a silver light jumped into the storage ring. ¡°Nevermind. Arcane silver will take care of them.¡± By the time Leo walked out of the cave, his undead beings had taken care of all the corpses on the ground and were waiting for his orders. ¡°It is very clean.¡± Leo didn¡¯t find a single remaining of the corpses except for the green blood on the ground here and here. ¡°You can go back now.¡± ¡®Snap¡¯ With a snap, Leo sent back to the ground before walking down the mountain with a casual look. ¡°Brother Leo, are you alright?¡± At the mountain base, Julia was anxiously waiting for Leo, and the moment she saw him, she hurriedly rushed toward him. ¡°I am alright! Didn¡¯t I tell you that I can take care of these ¡®Greed mountain bandits¡¯?¡± Leo felt warm seeing her be anxious for him. ¡®Even though Dominic and others used to worry about me all the time, I feel different when I see her worry about me.¡¯ He could not exin his feeling in words as he looked at Julia with a slight but happy smile. ¡°I know you are strong but still I am worried about you, Brother Leo.¡± Julia smiled as she heaved a sigh of relief for Leo¡¯s safe return. ¡®Screech¡¯ Griffin released a screech to let them know about its presence. ¡°I know you are here.¡± Leo nodded his head as he asked Griffin, ¡°As I promised, I will help you with anything except for giving back the Fragment of the God stone.¡± ¡°So, what do you want?¡± ****** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 34 Uncleared Land Leo didn¡¯t want Julia to know about his fourth talent, ¡®Call of Undead¡¯ when they were at the top of the mountain. So, he asked the Earth griffin to take her with it to the mountain base. In return, he would help it with one thing. Griffin no longer had any injuries on its body and looked powerful as it exuded the aura of a peak rank 5 beast that would be a rank 6 beast anytime. It was all because of the blue beast core that Leo gave to the Griffin before leaving the mountain top. It was the rank 6 beast core that Leo retrieved from the Sapphire-eyed serpent in Serpent caverns. ¡°So, what do you want?¡± Seeing that Griffin was trying to get his attention, he guessed it was eager to use the favour he owes it. So, Leo asked what it wanted. ¡®Screech¡¯ However, Griffin could not speak the human speech, and it could only screech, trying to say something. Mutated beasts were different from the monsters who could naturally learn human speech as long as they had some intelligence and strength. Whereas, in the case of mutated beasts, they could not speak human speech unless they became advanced beasts from rank 7 to rank 9. Since the Griffin was only a rank 5 spirit beast, it could only try its best to show what it wanted through its actions. ¡°You want me to follow you?¡± Nevertheless, Leo had spent years in the wilderness and learned a lot of things. So, it didn¡¯t take much time to understand what Griffin was trying to say. ¡®Nod¡¯-. As it heard Leo¡¯s words, Griffin hurriedly nodded its head. ¡°Brother Leo, can you understand what it was saying?¡± On the other hand, Julia asked Leo with a confused look. ¡°Of course.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile as he said, ¡°You ride it. I will use my Teleportation talent.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Initially, Julia was scared to go near the Earth Griffin; however, her fear vanished after spending some time with it. ¡®Screech¡¯ Griffin didn¡¯t mind letting Julia ride on its back as it flew into the sky after releasing a loud screech. ¡®I forgot to ask about the gains from the mission.¡¯ Once she started flying, Julia suddenly remembered the true objective behind their mission to earn some money. Even if they were not going to submit the mission, they could earn enough money from selling the valuable parts of the mountain fiends and the mountain fiend king. ¡®Let¡¯s ask it after resolving Griffin¡¯s problem.¡¯ She decided to ask Leo about itter. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Griffin flew into the distance, and behind them, Leo was teleporting, covering more than a couple of kilometers in single teleportation. ¡®Huh? Isn¡¯t this a little too far away from the city?¡¯ After traveling for an hour, Leo frowned because he felt something was wrong. ¡®Why will a rank 5 enter into this unclearednd?¡¯ After the appearance of the cities, the beast hunting squads of each city would start clearing the mutated beasts and the monsters living near the city. It was called Clearnd. Even though there might be monsters and mutated beasts in this clearednd, their strength would be limited to rank 6. As long as a rank 7 or above mutated beast or the monsters enter this clearnd, the city leader would be dispatching powerful heroes to take care of them. So, almost all advanced monsters and mutated beasts would not enter the clearednd unless they wanted to invade the city. The unclearednd could be considered a territory of the advanced monsters and the mutated beasts where you could find them asionally. Entering the unclearednds was not only dangerous for humans, but it was also dangerous for the mutated beasts and the monsters from novice and elite sses. Because in the world of monsters and beasts, only the strongest survive, and as for the weak, they would be the food for the strong. So, when he sensed that Griffin was taking them into an unclearednd, Leo raised his guard and was ready to kill Griffin the moment it tried something fishy. ¡®It¡¯s my first time not encountering a single advanced ss monster or mutated beast in the unclearednd even after five minutes.¡¯ Leo was a little bit surprised as he quietly followed behind Griffin. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Griffin looked at Leo before entering a cave on a rocky cliff. ¡®It even created its den in the Unclearednd.¡¯ Looking at the den in the middle section of the rocky cliff, Leo raised his brows. ¡®Let¡¯s see what this Griffin wants from me.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a thought, Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of the cave. ¡°Brother Leo, why do I feel like I entered a different world?¡± Seeing that Leo had arrived, Julia walked to him and asked about her feelings. For her, it was the first time entering the Unclearednd that waspletely different from the clearednd where most of the heroesplete the missions from the mission hall. So, she felt like she entered a different world, or rather, it could be better to say that both Unclearednd and the Clearednd were two different worlds. ¡°It¡¯s your first timeing this far from the city, right? So, you will feel like that. That feeling will go away soon.¡± Leo didn¡¯t mention the Unclearednd, in case Julia might be anxious if she learns that the weakest monster or beast here would have a strength of rank 7. ¡°It is true I didn¡¯te this far from the city; however¡­¡± ¡®Kech kech¡¯ ¡®Kech kech¡¯ Before finishing her words, two little griffins rushed out of the cave and stood in front of the Earth griffin before letting out angry sounds at Julia and Leo. ¡°How cute!¡± Seeing two little griffins less than 20 centimeters in height with cute little wings on their back, Julia let out an excited cheer before rushing to touch them. ¡°Don¡¯t. Griffins will not like it if you touch their babies.¡± However, Leo stopped her from touching them. ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Julia held back her excited self and looked at the Earth griffin. ¡®Screech¡¯ Griffin nodded its head at Julia before gently pushing the gryphlings into the cave and using Leo and Julia to follow it. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, they entered the cave, which was much bigger than they thought and had enough sunlight to see everything clearly inside the cave. ¡°Huh? A rank 7 Earth griffin?¡± Leo raised his brows to see a huge Earth griffin lying in the center of the cave. ¡®What? A rank 7?¡¯ Julia was surprised as she looked at the unconscious earth griffin on the ground. The rank 7 Griffin was fully covered in injuries and looked much worse than the rank 5 Griffin when they first found it in the tree hole. ¡®Screech¡¯ As Leo and Julia looked at the huge Griffin, the rank 5 griffin walked towards the other side and pointed at something with its two wings. ¡®Is there something?¡¯ Leo walked to the other side, and he froze in his steps, ¡®Why does this beast have this?¡¯ ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 35 Rank 7 Mutated Beast ¡®Why does this beast have this?¡¯ On the rank 7 Earth Griffin, Leo saw a palm-sized circr drawing filled with mysterious symbols, and it was glowing in red. The moment his eyes fell on that drawing, Leo was shocked because he knew it. ¡°Brother Leo, what is that drawing?¡± Julia also noticed the drawing on the unconscious Griffin and asked Leo about it. ¡°It¡¯s a ve seal.¡± ¡°ve seal?¡± Julia raised her brows as she replied, ¡°Someone who is capable of cing a ve seal on a rank 7 beast must be very powerful. But, if they have such strength, why can¡¯t they try taming it?¡± In this world, other than the heroes with ¡®Taming¡¯ talents, some heroes tamed the mutated beasts by other methods. So, when she thought about it, Julia could not help but feel pity for Griffin. ¡°Taming a mutated beast is not hard; however, it is a time-taking process and why would the powerful waste their time on taming them when they could directly use the ve seals to control them?¡± Suddenly, Julia felt Leo was colder than his usual self when he said those words.-. ¡®Looks like Brother Leo hates ¡®ve seals¡¯ too.¡¯ Julia didn¡¯t say anything as she silently thought and looked closely at the glowing ve seal. Whether it was a mutated beast or a human, no one likes to be a ve to another. Even humans were against cing ve seals on the mutated beasts. Of course, some like to enve people and those who want to make money from selling enved people to them. She had never seen a ve seal in her life. So, she asked, ¡°Does all ve seals glow like that?¡± ¡°No.¡± Leo shook his head as he looked at the rank 5 Earth Griffin that brought them here and said, ¡°You want me to save it from the curse?¡± ¡®Screech¡¯ Griffin hurriedly nodded its head with a screech. ¡°Brother Leo, what are you talking about?¡± Julia¡¯s ears perked up when she heard Leo¡¯s question to Griffin and asked him about the curse. They talked about the ¡®ve seal¡¯ a moment ago, and suddenly, Leo asked about the curse. So, she was confused and asked him with a worried face. Even though she didn¡¯t like mutated beasts, Julia was worried about the unconscious Griffin after seeing the little gryphlings and the stubborn Griffin that wanted to protect its partner. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Leo sighed as he finally understood why the rank 5 Griffin risked its life to get the fragment of the God stone and why it was so stubborn to follow him in such a sorry state. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me whether all ve seals will glow like this?¡± After taking a deep breath, Leo replied, ¡°A ve seal only glows when a ve kills its master.¡± ¡°What? ves can kill their masters?¡± Julia was shocked because, ording to what she learned, enved people could never harm their masters, and even if they think about harming their masters, the ve seal gets activated and kill them. ¡°It¡¯s possible as long as the ve learns how to control his thoughts.¡± Leo nodded his head as he exined, ¡°A ve can kill his or her master after fooling the ve seal with their thoughts; however, once a ve kills his master, the ve will be cursed.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Suddenly, Julia felt that despite spending most of her life studying, she still didn¡¯t know many things in this world. ¡°The curse¡­.it will not kill the ve right away; in..instead, it will give him an unbearable pain that only wants the ve to die; however, he will not even have the energy to kill himself.¡± Leo¡¯s tone was shaky as he continued, ¡°Eventually, the ve will experience that unbearable pain before dying slowly.¡± ¡°What? Are you telling me that this rank 7 Griffin is experiencing such unbearable pain right now?¡± Julia was shocked as she looked at the unconscious Griffin with a worried look. ¡°Brother Leo, you are so powerful. You must know a way to save it from the curse?¡± After witnessing Leo take care of so many mountain fiends on the Bandit Mountain, Julia knew Leo was powerful. Moreover, he seemed knowledgeable. So, Julia asked Leo whether he knew how to save it. ¡°Sigh¡­there is no way to break the curse.¡± Leo sighed as he felt pity for the unconscious Griffin. ¡°Screech¡± Hearing his words, Griffin released a loud screech as though she disagreed with Leo¡¯s words. ¡°Even the fragment of a god stone will not help your partner; instead, it will only make things worse.¡± Leo shook his head as he exined why Griffin should not feed the ¡®Fragment of God stone¡¯ to the unconscious Griffin because the more powerful the enved person was, the more powerful the curse would be. ¡°Then what do you suggest we should do?¡± Julia¡¯s eyes held back the iing tears as she asked Leo what they should do. ¡°If we have the blood of the ve master, then I could have temporarily supprressed its pain.¡± Leo shook his head as he suggested, ¡°Right now, we could only put it out of its misery by killing it.¡± ¡°What? We have to kill it? How can¡­¡± Julia was shocked at Leo¡¯s suggestion and wanted to say something more; however, after seeing the look on Leo¡¯s face, Julia could not say anything. Because, right now, Leo looked like he was angry at himself for not being able to save the unconscious Griffin. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Keech¡¯ ¡®Keech¡¯ However, the rank 5 Griffin and the two gryphlings didn¡¯t agree with Leo. ¡°In the end, it is your decision whether to continue to live in an endless pain or die peacefully.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to force Griffin to kill its partner as he knew it would be very hard. Moreover, since it was the rank 5 Griffin¡¯s decision, it had nothing to do with him. ¡®¡­¡¯ After hearing Leo¡¯s words, the rank 5 Griffin fell into a dilemma as it really didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°Who said I want to die peacefully?¡± As the rank 5 Griffin was pondering about it, a female voice resounded in the cave as the rank 7 Griffin opened its eyes and red at Leo. ***** Finally, book got contracted and gift feature is unlocked. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters.

Can you really help me if I have the blood of that ¡®B*stard¡¯?¡± Herse tried to walk; however, she could not move her legs or wings as she fell to the ground. Nevertheless, she asked Leo whether he could help her with the pain. ¡°Where is the blood?¡± When Herse was expecting that Leo would make her beg to help her with the pain, she saw Leo turn back and ask about the blood. ¡°It is in Manticore¡¯s territory.¡± Herse hesitated a little before answering Leo¡¯s question. ¡°Exin to me from the beginning.¡± Leo raised his brows when he heard Herse¡¯s reply as he asked her to say everything from the beginning. ¡°Can you take children out for a while?¡± However, before Herse could tell the entire story, Herse asked Nasr to take the two gryphlings out. ¡®Screech¡¯ Nasr nodded his head without any hesitation before taking them out. ¡°Julia, why don¡¯t you go and y with them?¡± At the same time, Leo also asked Julia to go out. ¡°But, Brother Leo¡­¡± ¡°As long as you give them a stamina recovery fruit, they will be friends with you.¡± Before Julia could finish her words, Leo took out two green-coloured fruits and gave them to her. ¡°Okay.¡± Even though she wanted to listen to what happened to the rank 7 Griffin, she controlled her curiosity and followed Leo¡¯s words. ¡®Anyway, I will y with the little griffins.¡¯ With that thought in her head, Julia hurriedly rushed out of the cave to y with the two gryphlings. ¡­..

As for their appearance, they have the head of a lion and a scorpion tail that contains a deadly poison. Maybe, it was in their blood, or for whatever reason; they liked to dominate the entire world and learned to make ve seals. With the help of the ve seals, they became influential among the intelligent monsters. Intending to dominate the entire human world, they spread their existence to every corner of the world. ¡°Nasr, let¡¯s go to Manticore territory to get your revenge.¡± With a calm look, Leo mounted Nasr as they flew into the depths of the Unclearednd. ¡®Brother Leo, please be safe.¡¯ Looking at the back view of Leo, Julia silently muttered to herself before ying with the little gryphlings. Even though Leo didn¡¯t say anything about where he was going to Julia, she could guess that it would be dangerous to bring her with him. Otherwise, Leo would have taken her along with him. ¡­.. ¡®Screech¡¯ While flying in the air, Nasr let out a few screeches from time to time as though he was warning Leo about Manticore territory. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I know about Manticores very well as we have a long history between us.¡±-. Leo revealed a cold smile as he said those words. ¡®Screech¡¯ Hearing those words, Nasr shivered a little as he stopped asking more questions. ¡­. In an underground chamber, Manticore territory, ¡°What? You didn¡¯t find that Griffin?¡± A manticore wearing the golden armour shouted at a group of manticores angrily. ¡®¡­¡¯ No one replied anything as they remained silent with their shivering legs. Each of them had the strength of rank 7 and 8; however, they were still very fearful in front of that Manticore who was shouting at them. ¡°I will give you two days, if you don¡¯t find Griffin before she dies, I am going to kill you to apany my son.¡± The leader of the manticore tribe gave them a deadline to find the rank 7 Griffin that escaped after killing his son. ¡°Yes, Leader.¡± All the manticores nodded their heads in unison with serious faces. ¡°Leader¡­leader.¡± Just as all the manticores were about to leave the underground chamber, a rank 6 manticore rushed into the underground room with an anxious look. ¡°What is it?¡± Yarzer, the Manticore¡¯s territory leader, asked with a frown. Around every city in this world, there would be an unclearednd with a name, and the name of this unclearednd was Solitary forest. Yarzer was a manticore dispatched to establish a manticore territory in the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ region. ¡°A rank 5 Griffin is flying above our territory. I think this Griffin might be rted to the Griffin that killed the Young tribe leader.¡± The servant didn¡¯t waste any time as he directly informed Yarzer about the Griffin. ¡°Really?¡± Yarzer was excited as he clenched his fists, ¡°Let¡¯s catch it and find out the whereabouts of that rank 7 Griffin.¡± Without wasting any time, Yarzer and the elite team of his territory walked out of the underground chamber. ¡°Huh? A human?¡± Aftering out of the underground chamber, Yarzer saw Leo and raised his brows. ¡­ ¡°I thought it would be powerful when you said it was a territory. But, for me, it looks like a small tribe.¡± Leo looked down from the sky as he shook his head with disappointment. ¡°Looks like it will not even take five minutes to erase this territory.¡± Leo had seen the manticore territories in the past. They were huge, and they didn¡¯t even bother to live in the underground tunnels. The manticore territory in front of him was not even worthparing to those powerful manticore territories which could even make a supreme hero hesitate to enter. ¡®¡­¡¯ Hearing hisments about the manticore territory, Nasr was speechless. The manticore territory in front of him was enough to scare all the rank 7 and rank 8 beasts and monsters away because once the manticores caught them, they would be enved forever. ¡®I wonder if the leader of this territory knows the whereabouts of that b*stard?¡¯ Leo focused his gaze on the Manticore, who was wearing golden armour, and silently thought about it. ¡®Anyway, it is better to ask rather than not asking.¡¯ After making up his mind, Leo didn¡¯t bother wasting his time as he still had to go back to Phirie city to attend the premium auction. ¡°Nasr, stay here. I will be back in five minutes.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After saying that, Leo disappeared from Nasr¡¯s back and re-appeared in front of the group of manticores. ¡°Who are you?¡± Yarzer didn¡¯t order his men to attack Leo; instead, he asked Leo a question while figuring out his origins. ¡°Are you from Phirie city?¡± Before Leo could say something, Yarzer asked whether he was from Phirie city. ¡°Yes. So what?¡± Leo was not surprised that Yarzer knew about Phirie city because the goal of the manticore territories was to conquer the nearby cities. The only city near this ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ region was Phirie city. ¡°I was nning to kidnap someone from the Phirie city but you saved me the trouble of leaving this Solitary forest.¡± Yarzer revealed a slight smile as he ordered, ¡°Catch him andthe Griffin in the air. Release the ves that can fly.¡± ¡°Yes, leader.¡± Since Manticores couldn¡¯t fly, they could only rely on their enved mutated beasts that could fly. ¡°Come out and catch that Griffin alive.¡± Soon, a manticore shouted out loud as a colossal rank 7 ck-coloured eagle flew towards them from a distance. ¡°Haha¡­as expected of Manticores, they are too full of themselves.¡± Leo shook his head as he didn¡¯t even bother to nce at the rank 7 eagleing from the distance. Instead, he looked at Yarzer and said, ¡°Before I erase your tribe, let me ask you a question.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a tribe. It is a territory, you b*stard.¡± Yarzer became furious when he heard Leo call his territory a ¡®Tribe¡¯ as he shouted, ¡°What are you waiting for while he was speaking non-sense? Capture him and cut his tongue. A ve don¡¯t need to have a tongue.¡± ¡°Yes, leader.¡± The manticores were also furious with Leo¡¯s words as they rushed toward him. ¡°Whether it is a tribe or a territory, since I decided to erase it today, I will erase it.¡± Leo walked towards the iing manticores as he muttered, ¡®Silver, if you finish eating, let¡¯s do some exercise.¡¯ As soon as Leo finished his words, a silver light shed in his hand as his weapon ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯ appeared. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 38 Destroying the Manticores Territory ¡°Who¡­who are you?¡± Looking at his subordinates¡¯ corpses, Yarzer asked Leo in a fearful voice. In less than a minute, Leo had killed more than 50 manticores who had the strength of rank 7 and rank 8. Moreover, their dozen rank 8 enved mutated beasts copsed to the ground with a single punch from the young man. So, of course, Yarzer was fearful as he could not gauge Leo¡¯s exact strength. ¡°Me? I am the one who is on the mission to kill all the Manticores in this world.¡± Leo scoffed at Yarzer as he slowly walked toward him. ¡°Vukru, Tun. Let¡¯s attack him together.¡± Even though he was fearful of Leo, Yarzer decided to try attacking Leo with his two strongest subordinates. ¡°Yes, leader.¡± The two manticores wearing silver-coloured armour nodded their heads before rushing towards Leo along with Yarzer. ¡°No matter what you do, it¡¯s useless.¡± Leo shook his head as he muttered, ¡°Earth maniption.¡± ¡®Thud¡¯-. Before they could even reach Leo, Yarzer and his two strong subordinates fell to the ground. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the ground below them moved as it imprisoned the three manticores from moving. ¡®Puchi¡­puchi¡¯ Leo walked close to them and killed the two manticores with a simple stab. ¡°Looks like your King Zerre is bing more and more dumb with time to send a single rank 9 manticore to start a territory.¡± After killing the two rank 8 manticores, Leo looked at Yarzer and revealed a slight smile. ¡°What? How do you know the name of my king?¡± Yarzer was shocked when he heard Leo¡¯s words as he once again asked, ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± Earlier, Yarzer thought the human was rted to Griffin; however, when he heard those words, he felt the young man in front of him had other motives behind attacking his territory. ¡°Do you really want to know?¡± The cold smile on Leo¡¯s face became wider as he replied, ¡°Did your king grow a new stinger?¡± ¡°How do you¡­.wait a second. Are you that ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯?¡± Suddenly, Yarzer felt his entire body be numb just from looking at Leo. ¡®How did I encounter this monster? Why do I have such terrible luck?¡¯ Yarzer felt he was the unluckiest manticore to encounter the arch-enemy of his race. ¡°Do you want to live?¡± Just when Yarzer felt that he would die today in the hands of ¡®Talent swallowing hero¡¯, he heard Leo ask him a question. ¡°Of course. I want to live.¡± Yarzer didn¡¯t hesitate to nod his head as he continued, ¡°I will do everything you say. I will even be your spy and inform you of all the locations of the other manticore territories.¡± ¡°Haha¡­as expected of manticores, they don¡¯t mind stabbing their own just so that they could live.¡± Leo let out a cold chuckle as he replied to Yarzer, ¡°There is no need for all that. I just need an answer.¡± ¡°Please ask anything, sir. I will answer to the best of my knowledge.¡± Yarzer excitedly nodded his head. Even though Yarzer heard the ¡®Talent swallowing hero¡¯ was merciless when ites to Manticores, he knew that Leo would not kill him as long as he proved helpful to Leo. ¡°Where is your B*stard king Zerre?¡± Leo calmly asked Yarzer about Zerre¡¯s whereabouts. ¡°I don¡¯t know about his exact whereabouts; however, there is a rumour that His Majesty went to the Manticore territory in the Shadow region.¡± There was no hesitation in Yarzer¡¯s words as he directly answered Leo. ¡°Shadow region? Isn¡¯t it the unclearednd near to the Evesting city?¡± Leo thought about where he had heard the ¡®Shadow region¡¯ and asked Yarzer about it. ¡°That¡¯s right! The manticore territory there has more than 100 peak rank 9 manticores and they will soon start their invasion on the Evesting city. I think His Majesty was nning to lead them in that invasion.¡± Yarzer gave his thoughts on why the Manticore king went to the shadow region. ¡°Haha¡­that B*stard¡­he is trying to form an alliance with that city leader of the Evesting city.¡± However, Leo knew that was not the real reason behind the Manticore king¡¯s visit to the shadow region; instead, it was to ally with Kaiser, the city leader of the Evesting City. ¡°What? Why would His Majesty¡­.¡± ¡°Since I have no use for you anymore, you can go and meet your son.¡± ¡°Puchi¡± Before Yarzer could finish his words, Leo pierced his sword into his chest. ¡°B..but, you said¡­.¡± ¡°I never said I will not kill you. I only asked you whether you want to live. In this world, who doesn¡¯t want to live?¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ Pulling out his sword, Leo didn¡¯t even bother to look at Yarzer before turning his head towards the dozen enved mutated beasts. ¡®Screech¡¯ Just as Leo killed Yarzer, the rank 5 Griffin released a screech, making Leo look in his direction. In the front talons of Nasr, there is a manticore¡¯s corpse that was wearing a golden armour just like Yarzer. ¡°Juat like that half rotten corpse. There is no need for it anymore.¡± With a look, Leo could tell that the corpse was Yarzer¡¯s son; however, since he killed Yarzer, the one who marked the ve seal on Herse, there is no need to suppress her curse anymore. Because, with the death of Yarzer, the enving seals he imprinted on all the mutated beasts would disappear. ¡®Screech¡¯ After learning about it from Leo, Nasr became excited as he could not wait to fly back to his cave to check on her wife. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Leo asked Nasr to wait as he turned towards the mutated spirit beasts lying on the ground. Earlier, he only killed the manticore and knocked out these enved mutated beasts because they were controlled by the manticores and did not want to attack him. ¡°From today onwards, you have no master and you can do whatever you want. Leave now.¡± Leo asked all the enved mutated beasts to leave because, with the death of Yarzer, the ve seals on the enved mutated beasts had already disappeared. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Hiss¡¯ Hearing Leo¡¯s words, the 12 mutated beasts that became free from the ve seals were excited and hurriedly checked their ve seals, only to notice they had long disappeared. They thanked Leo from the bottom of their hearts before quickly running away from the manticore territory. ¡®I wonder when will I be free from the curse?¡¯ Looking at the excitedly running away mutated beasts, Leo silently muttered to himself as he rode Nasr back to the cave. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 39 Secret Follower ¡®Looks like the manticores yet to establish themselve properly in this region; otherwise, it would have been not easy for me to destroy their territory.¡¯ Destroying Yarzer and his tiny territory took less than five minutes for Leo; however, things would have been different if it was an established territory. ¡®Also, it looks like I need to pay a visit to the Evesting city after I finish my revenge in the Phirie city. Let¡¯s see what that b*stard Zerre is nning with Marco¡¯s grandfather.¡¯ Leo never forgets his friends and enemies. So, of course, he would not forget to pay them a visit in the future. ¡®Screech¡¯ The rank 5 griffin, Nasr, flew at an incredible speed to see his wife as they reached the cave in no time. ¡°Brother Leo, the ve seal on Herse disappeared.¡± As soon as Julia saw that Leo and Nasr had returned, she hurriedly informed them about the seal. ¡°Also, after healing the injuries on Herse, I sessfully advanced in my rank and became a rank 5 hero.¡± Julia revealed a bright smile because she didn¡¯t expect she would breakthrough in such a short time. ¡°Congrattions.¡± Leo was not surprised at the progress of Julia¡¯s talent because the higher the target she heals, the more experience points she would receive. Since her potential had reached 75 beforeing to the cave, after healing Herse, a rank 7 mutated beast, a couple of times, her potential reached 100 percent before having Julia be a rank 5 healing hero.-. ¡°Thank you, Brother Leo. It¡¯s all because of you.¡± Julia was grateful to Leo as she thanked him from the bottom of her heart. ¡°You can be powerful because you worked hard for it. So, there is no need to give contributions to others.¡± Leo shook his head as he didn¡¯t take any credit before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see Herse.¡± ¡°Sir Leo, thank you for saving me. In the future, if you need any help, I will definitelye to your rescue.¡± As soon as they entered the cave, the huge rank 7 Griffin thanked Leo with its head touching the ground. ¡°With your current strength, you can¡¯t even help yourself and you will help me? Dream on.¡± Since Leo had already saved Herse, he was no longer looking at her with pity as he coldly replied to Herse. ¡°I know I am not as strong as Sir Leo, but if there is something you need¡­.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after you be powerful.¡± Before Herse could finish her words, Leo interrupted her as he threw a small ck-coloured stone at her. ¡°Th..this is¡­.¡± Hearse caught the ck-coloured stone in its beak and sensed the pure entry inside the stone. As a Griffin, Herse¡¯s senses towards energies were top notch. She could tell it was a valuable item that could help her be a rank 8 mutated beast. ¡°Sir Leo has already done a huge favour for me. I can¡¯t take such a valuable thing as it would only make¡­.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you will help me in the future? Consume that fragment of God stone and be a rank 8.¡± Before Herse could finish her words, Leon continued, ¡°After bing a rank 8 mutated beast, don¡¯t ck in improving your strength; instead, try to be a rank 8 mutated beast.¡± ¡°Only a rank 9 mutated beast can be useful to me.¡± Leo saw that there was still some hesitation in her eyes, making him shake his head. ¡°Your husband nearly died in retrieveing that piece of stone. So, don¡¯t consume it and be powerful to protect your family.¡± ¡°What?¡± Herse looked at Nasr with a shocked look before ring at him. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. We will leave now.¡± Leo and Julia decided to leave since they have a premium auction tomorrow. ¡°Sir Leo, when I be powerful, I will find you to repay today¡¯s favours.¡± Herse didn¡¯t dare to stop Leo as she swore to repay Leo when she became powerful. ¡°Bye, Bluetail.¡± ¡°Bye, cktail.¡± Julia bid goodbye to her new little friends as she walked out of the cave, leaving the Griffins alone. ¡°Brother, how are we going back to the city? Should I ask Herse to drop us at the city?¡± Since they were hundreds of kilometers away from Phirie city, it would take them a lot of time to travel back on foot. ¡°There is no need for that.¡± Leo shook his head as he rejected Julia¡¯s suggestion. ¡°But, it will¡­.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Leo looked into the distance for a moment and shouted, ¡°Are you going to follow me like that forever?¡± ¡®Huh? Who is he talking to?¡¯ Julia was confused because she saw none as far as her eye could see. ¡°Fine then. If you don¡¯te out now, I will just ignore you.¡± ¡®Screech¡¯ Just as Leo finished his words, a loud screech came out from the distance as a giant ck coloured eagle appeared in front of them. ¡°Brother Leo, how did¡­was it here all along?¡± Julia was shocked by the sudden appearance of the ck eagle because it was hiding in in sight; however, she didn¡¯t see it. ¡°Yes. It is using one of its skills to hide in in sight.¡± Leo nodded at Julia as he looked at the colossal rank 7 ck eagle and asked, ¡°Why are you following me? Do you want to follow me?¡± It was the same colossal eagle enved by the manticores that Leo had saved earlier with the rest of the mutated beasts. From then, it was secretly following Leo, and since Nasr was in a hurry to see his wife, Leo didn¡¯t bother much with his secret follower. ¡°Yes, sir. I want to follow you and repay you for saving me from those Manticores.¡± Since the ck eagle was a rank 7 mutated beast, it could speak the human speech. ¡°Sigh¡­I saved you to be free and live in this world as you want; however, you once again want to be a ve just to repay me.¡± Leo shook his head as he didn¡¯t like the reason. So, he mercilessly rejected the ck eagle. ¡°Actually, I want to follow you because I want to be powerful just like you.¡± Seeing that Leo rejected her, the ck eagle hurriedly told her true intentions. ¡°Good. Now, you gave me a good reason; however, do you really think you can be powerful just by following me?¡± This time Leo didn¡¯t reject the ck eagle; however, at the same time, he didn¡¯t ept either as he asked a question. ¡°I don¡¯t know why but I can feel that wherever you go, destruction follows. So, I am following that intuition. Also, I sincerely want to repay you for saving me.¡± After finishing her words, the ck eagle looked at Leo, only to see a calm look on his face. ¡®As expected of the Abyss eagle, she has a scary intuition.¡¯ Leo looked at the enormous ck eagle and said, ¡®Why don¡¯t you follow her instead of me? As long as you do it, I will help you be powerful.¡¯ ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 40 Human-Beast Unity Pill ¡®What?¡¯ Both Julia and the huge ck eagle were shocked when they heard Leo¡¯s words. ¡°I am waiting for your reply.¡± Leo didn¡¯t repeat his question as he asked the eagle to reply to her answer. ¡°I¡­I want to follow you because you are strong, but s¡­she is¡­.¡± The huge ck eagle hesitated as she indirectly tried to reject Leo¡¯s offer. ¡°She is my sister, and I want you to protect her when I am not around.¡± However, before the eagle could finish her words, Leo said a few more words, ¡°As long as you follow her, I will instantly help you be a rank 8 mutated beast.¡± ¡°Instantly bing a rank 8 mutated beast?¡± Those words tempted the huge eagle as she looked at Julia and thought about Leo¡¯s offer. ¡®Since he is powerful, I can¡¯t prove my value if I follow him; however, his sister doesn¡¯t have an attacking-type talent, and if I protect her value, he will provide me more resources.¡¯ Soon, the huge eagle changed her thinking as she concluded that following Julia would be more beneficial for her than following Leo. In this world, to be powerful, whether a human or a mutated beast or a monster, they all need resources.-. However, to get those resources, one should have enough power; otherwise, they might lose their lives. The abyss eagle didn¡¯t want to risk its life after bing a ve to the Manticores. She wants to follow someone powerful and avoid those risks. ¡®Even though it will not be peaceful following him, he has enough strength to protect me and most importantly, he has a pure heart.¡¯ After thinking for a few moments, the huge ck eagle replied, ¡°I will form a contract with her.¡± If Leo heard those thoughts, he would be speechless because he was known for his ¡®Evil heart¡¯. ¡°Good.¡± Leo knew it would be easy to convince the abyss eagle when the other side was determined to avoid the risk of getting killed by the stronger monsters and the beasts. ¡°Julia, forming a contract with her will benefit you. So, why don¡¯t you form a contract with her?¡± Next, Leo asked Julia with a slight smile. Once someone gets the acknowledgement of a mutated beast, they could form a contract with one another. Moreover, forming a contract would help both the human and the mutated beast. ¡°But, the strength of this huge eagle is much higher than mine. My energy will not be sufficient.¡± Julia was excited when the huge ck eagle agreed to form a contract with her; however, when she realized the strength of the huge ck eagle. If the strength between the human and the mutated beast was huge, forming a contract would be difficult. It was amonly known fact in the world. ¡°Haha¡± Hearing Julia¡¯s words, Leoughed as he replied, ¡°Who said you will be forming such a useless ¡®Master-ve¡¯ contract?¡± ¡°Huh? Then?¡± Julia and the huge ck eagle were surprised by Leo¡¯s words as they asked him at the same time. ¡°I have these pills that were especially refined to connect the human and a mutated beast.¡± Leo summoned a small ss bottle while saying those words. Inside the ss bottle, five green-coloured pills brightly shone when sun rays fell on them. ¡°Specially refined pills? What kind of pills are they?¡± Those pills instantly attracted the attention of Julia and the huge ck eagle as they asked about them. ¡°These pills are called Human-beast unity pills.¡± Leo informed the pill name as he took out a pill from the bottle and gave it to Julia, ¡°Julia, use your talent while holding this pill a couple of times and feed it to her.¡± ¡®Huh? Okay.¡¯ Even though Julia was still confused about the pill, she nodded her head and followed Leo¡¯s words. ¡®Wave of recovery¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a gap of a few seconds, Julia used her talent on Leo while holding the green coloured pill in her hands. ¡°Now, feed it to the eagle.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Nodding her head, Julia fed the pill to the eagle, who didn¡¯t hesitate to swallow it. ¡°Rest for a while on the ground. Let¡¯s talk after you absorb the energy from the pill. Julia, let¡¯s enjoy the view until then.¡± Leo asked the eagle to rest as he and Julia sat on the cliff¡¯s edge to see the sunset. ¡®Ding, Pill name:- Human-Beast unity pill. Effect:- After a mutated beast willingly eats the pill fed by a human, a bond will be formed between them, connecting their minds and souls. Special effects:- Whenever one of them breakthroughs to the next rank, the other will see some progress in their strength. ¡®I wonder which otherworldly God created such divine pills.¡¯ Even though it was not his first time checking the information on these pills, Leo was always curious about the creator of the pill. He could only guess that the otherworldly beings who created the cities had the power to create such miraculous pills while looking at the sunset. ¡°Brother Leo, will that pill form a bond between the eagle and me?¡± Sitting beside Leo, Julia asked while enjoying the scenery in front of her. ¡°Of course. It will help you.¡± Leo nodded his head and replied, ¡°Do you know where I found these pills?¡± ¡°Where?¡± Julia curiously nodded her head as she wanted to know the origin of the pills. ¡°In a ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± With a slight smile, Leo replied about the origins of the pills. ¡°What? In a ¡®God ruins¡¯?¡± Julia was shocked; however, when she thought about the effect of the pills, she muttered, ¡°Only ¡®God ruins¡¯ will have such pills.¡± Inside the ¡®God ruins¡¯. There would be all kinds of valuable artifacts, weapons, pills and even the talent awakening stones along with talent upgrading stones. Last but not least, they could even find the ¡®God stones¡¯ inside the ¡®God ruins¡¯. Just a fragment of the ¡®God stone¡¯ was enough for the mighty heroes in this world to go crazy, not to mention how far they might go for aplete God stone. ¡°Brother Leo, I feel like the level of my talent is increasing.¡± After a few moments, Julia felt a tremendous experience entering her body, helping her talent. ¡°Looks like the effects of the pill are finally showing up.¡± Leo nodded his head in satisfaction with a slight smile on his face. ¡®Screech¡¯ At the same time, an excited screech came from below as the huge ck eagle opened her eyes and flew into the sky at an incredible speed. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 41 Rank 6 Healer ¡°Brother Leo, my¡­my talent has reached level 6.¡± Julia absorbed all the experience she received from the huge ck eagle within no time. Julia was so excited to be a rank 6 hero. Because it¡¯s been not even an hour since she became a rank 5 hero; however, she had already be a rank 6 hero. ¡®These pills never disappointed me.¡¯ This was the first thought in Leo¡¯s head when he sensed the increase in Julia¡¯s talent. ¡°Congrattions. At this rate, you will be the youngest advanced healing hero in the Phirie city.¡± Leo was genuinely happy for her as he congratted her. Generally, a healing type hero was rare, and high-level ones were even rarer. Moreover, if Julia bes an advanced healing-type hero in her early twenties, all the powerful families would try to recruit her. ¡®The Icefeather family will wee her with open arms if they knew she already became a rank 6 hero.¡¯ Even though rank 6 and rank 7 heroes belong to two different sses, as long as one provides sufficient resources, it won¡¯t be hard for a rank 6 hero to be a rank 7 hero. What¡¯s more, Julia is only 20 years old, and as long as she puts in some effort, even without any resources, she will be a rank 7 before 30 years.-. Since Amy Icefeather helped Julia from her childhood, the Icefeather family would use it. ¡®Let¡¯s see how the Icefeather family will approach her.¡¯ Leo revealed an evil smile in his heart as he started making preparations for the Icefeather family. ¡­ ¡°Master, even though I didn¡¯t breakthrough in my rank, I am much more powerful than before.¡± The huge ck eagle flew in the air as she replied to Leo, ¡°That pill is truly miraculous.¡± ¡°I know that pill is miraculous.¡± Leo nodded his head; however, he raised his brows as he asked, ¡°When did I be your master?¡± ¡°The moment you freed me from those manticores.¡± The huge eagle didn¡¯t think much as she replied, ¡°Even if you didn¡¯t give me as your follower or servant, I will always consider you as my master.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Leo became speechless at the huge eagle¡¯s words. ¡°Hehe¡± From the side, Julia could not help butugh at the huge ck eagle¡¯s words before asking, ¡± My name is Julia. What do I call you? Do you have a name?¡± Since she would spend more time with the huge ck eagle in the future, Julia asked the eagle¡¯s name. ¡°Nope. I don¡¯t have a name as I don¡¯t really need one until now.¡± The eagle shook its head and said it had no name. ¡°What? No name?¡± Julia was surprised as she asked, ¡°How can you have no name?¡± ¡°Because I don¡¯t have a family or never made any friends.¡± The ck eagle replied in a calm tone in a nonchnt tone. ¡°Brother Leo, since you freed her and gave a new life, why don¡¯t you give her a name?¡± Julia¡¯s heart ached when she heard the ck eagle¡¯s reply because she could somewhat rte the ck eagle¡¯s life to her life. However,pared to Julia¡¯s life, the ck eagle¡¯s life was much more arduous because she didn¡¯t have anyone to rely on and the life in the wilderness was even more difficult. Nevertheless, since fate met them together, Julia decided to treat the huge eagle like her family and friend. So, she asked Leo to give the huge eagle a name. ¡°Since she looks like a light ray whenever she flies, let¡¯s call her Kira.¡± Like Julia, Leo also felt a little closer to the ck eagle as he directly gave a name to her. Leo was already feeling close to her because of their simr fate with the manticore. That¡¯s the reason why he was generous with both Herse and Kira. After learning about Kira¡¯s past, Leo felt it even closer as he could perfectly imagine her life. ¡°Kira? Not bad.¡± The huge eagle nodded her head; however, she was excited to get a name she didn¡¯t show in its eyes. However, too bad for Kira, Leo could see through her easily. ¡°Since I promised you to instantly make rank 8 mutated beast, take this.¡± Leo threw a fragment of the God stone at Kira without any hesitation. ¡°What is it?¡± Unlike Griffins, the abyss eagles were not good at sensing the energy. So, of course, Kira failed to recognize the value of the ck stone as she swallowed it. ¡°You will know soon enough.¡± Leo didn¡¯t exin; instead, he said she would find out about it. Just as he finished his words, Kira felt pure energy inside her bodying out of the ck stone she had just swallowed. ¡°If I were you, I wouldnd on the ground to absorb the pure energy to achieve the breakthrough.¡± Leo indirectly asked Kira to stop flying, and the huge eagle didn¡¯t dare to fly anymore as shended on the ground to absorb the energy. ¡°Brother Leo, didn¡¯t you already give the fragment of the God stone to Herse? Where did you get the second one?¡± However, Julia recognized the ck stone as she asked where Leo got the second one. ¡°From the Bandit mountain.¡± Leo exined the things he got from the bandit mountain; he omitted the artifacts and weapons because his ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯ had already eaten those things. ¡°What? More than 20 million hero coins and two fragments of the God stones?¡± Julia was shocked to the core when she heard Leo found many hero coins. ¡°Yes, besides hero coins and the fragments of the God stones, I found these three artifacts.¡± Nodding his head, Leo took out three suitable artifacts for Julia, Ryan, and Amy. ¡°Artifacts?¡± After learning about 20 million hero coins, Julia was no longer shocked or surprised by anything. ¡°I appraised these items and this staff will be useful for you.¡± While saying that, Leo handed her ¡®Enigma staff¡¯ and continued saying, ¡°As for this ring, it is suitable for humans with fire talents and this bracelet is for humans with ice talent.¡± Julia was not surprised that Leo could appraise the artifacts after learning that he had three talents. Julia concluded that there was nothing Brother Leo could not do in her mind. ¡°But, Brother Leo, why don¡¯t you use the fragments of the god stone?¡± Taking the wooden staff, Julia asked Leo with a confused look. ¡°Because I don¡¯t have to use it to increase my hero rank.¡± Leo gave a brief reply as he tossed a circr golden token at Julia and said, ¡°Drop your blood on it and you can send Kira into it when we enter the city.¡± ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 42 Beast Storage Device ¡°Isn¡¯t this a beast storage device?¡± Looking at the token in her hands, Julia excitedly asked Leo. Since she spent most of her time reading, Julia remembered seeing it in the books. ¡°Yes. Since taking a rank 8 mutated beast in the city will attract everyone, it is better to keep her in the beast storage device.¡± Leo nodded his head as he exined why she had to use it. As its name suggests, the Beast storage device was a new invention simr to a storage ring where you could store your mutated beasts. When he cleared the newly established Manticore territory, Leo found some high-quality beast storage devices. So, Leo kept them in his storage for future use; however, he didn¡¯t expect he would need them so soon. ¡°Brother Leo, you are so mysterious that you can pull out the things I need from thin air.¡± Julia dropped her blood on the beast storage device as she said those words to Leo. ¡°Being mysterious is cool, isn¡¯t it?¡± Leo revealed a slight smile as he asked Julia. ¡°Haha¡­yes, it is.¡± Julia could not hold back herughter as she nodded her head.-. ¡°Brother Leo, I sense another experience orb enter into my body.¡± Amidst herughter, Julia suddenly revealed a shocked look for a moment before bing excited. That¡¯s right! She was excited because it was a good thing for her. Moreover, Julia knew the exact reason why she once again received the experience orb, and it was because of Kira¡¯s breakthrough. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, ten minutes passed, ¡®Screech¡¯ It took ten minutes for Kira to open her eyes which brightly shone as she released an excited screech. ¡®Looks like Kira finished her breakthrough into rank 8.¡¯ From the screech, Leo could tell Kira had be a rank 8 mutated beast; however, his focus was on Julia. ¡®Ding, Potential:- 90 percent / 100 percent. ¡®She still needs 10 percent of experience to be a rank 7 hero.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the effect of the ¡®Human-beast unity pill¡¯ as he silently thought, ¡®It was the right decision to partner up Julia with Kira.¡¯ There were two reasons why Leo partnered Ju with Kira. They were:- 1) When Julia is in danger, she can summon Kira to protect her. If dimires out to protect her openly, people would misunderstand Julia for being a Shadow vampire¡¯s ve. 2) Since Kira was already a rank 7 mutated beast and Leo was nning to help her with a fragment of God stone, Julia would benefit a lot because of the ¡®Human-beast unity pill¡¯s effects. ¡®With Kira around Julia, there is no need for dimir toe out of the shadows.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo was not nning to cancel dimir¡¯s mission because Kira could do nothing in front of multiple rank 8 heroes or a single rank 9 hero. ¡°Julia, you will be an advanced hero soon.¡± Leo encouraged Julia as he stood up from the ground and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting dark. Let¡¯s return to the city.¡± Since they hadpleted their goal of earning money, there was nothing for them to do in the wilderness. So, they prepared to go back to the city and were ready for the premium auction. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s time to show you my speed.¡± Soon, they mounted the huge eagle¡¯s back as they flew towards the Phirie city at an incredible speed. ¡­.. In front of Phirie city¡¯s outer gate, ¡°So, this is the Phirie city. The wall looks too shabby.¡± ¡°I feel the same.¡± ¡°I wonder whether they will pay us what they promised?¡± Two young men and a young woman looked at the walls of the Phirie city andmented. They were wearing clothes made up of mutated beasts and two long des on their backs. ¡°Identify yourself before entering the city.¡± The Watcher didn¡¯t like theirments; however, they looked powerful. So, he could only ask them for their ids. ¡°We are the trio of ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ and we are invited by the family head Gregor.¡± The young man who looked like their leader replied to the watch in a rough tone. ¡°Ethereal de mercenary squad? Wee to the Phirie city. Someone from the Cloudriver family has been waiting for your arrival.¡± The Watcher shivered a little when he heard their squad name and hurriedly guided them into the city. ¡°We are from the ¡®Silent beasts mercenary squad¡¯. We are invited by the Icefeather family.¡± Just as a trio of the ¡®Ethereal des mercenary squad¡¯ walked a few steps, a female voice stopped them in their steps. ¡°Silent beasts mercenary squad? Please wee to Phirie city.¡± The Watcher turned his head to see a young woman and three young men in their early twenties, just like the trio of the Ethereal des. Watcher weed them too without wasting any time as he asked them to follow him into the city. Nodding their heads, the ¡®Silent Beasts¡¯ mercenary squad members followed behind the Watcher along with the trio of the Ethereal des mercenary squad. ¡®Wink¡¯ As they walked into the city, the members of the two mercenary squads secretlymunicated with each other. Soon, both the squads met with the representative from the families that invited them and left with them. ¡°Looks like the three families invited the three famous young mercenary squads for the sake of ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± ¡°Looks like that.¡± ¡°I wonder how many wille out alive from it.¡± ¡°Among the three mercenary squads, I feel the Golden Gaints mercenary squad is powerful. So, I think the Ambermane family will benefit a lot from the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. The city leader will be sending his son and daughter into the ¡®God ruins¡¯. Do you really think these three families will have any chance to get benefit from the God ruins just because they hired some young merceanries?¡± Soon, a few watchers gathered around as they discussed the ¡®God ruins¡¯, Mercenary squads, and all other things to pass their boredom. ¡­. Bandit mountain, In the cave where Leo found the hero coins, two rank 9 heroes wearing ck suits stood with anxious looks. ¡°This is bad.¡± ¡°There is no sign of a mountain bandit or the mountain fiend or most improtantly, there is not a single Hero coin here.¡± ¡°Do you think they betrayed the master?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not possible. I heard the mountain fiend king is master¡¯s ve and controls the mountain fiends and the mountain bandits. So, betrayal is impossible.¡± ¡°Then, what should we do now?¡± ¡°What else? Let¡¯s inform the master what we saw here.¡± ¡°But, is it really okay? If we say that his entire five years¡¯ treasure disappeared out of thin air, he might beat us to death.¡± ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s go.¡± The two rank 9 heroes were not in a good mood as they rushed out of the cave and traveled towards Phirie city. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 43 White Chandler ¡®Screech¡¯ A few kilometers away from Phirie city, Kira dropped Leo and Julia before going into the Beast storage device to rest. Since Leo asked Julia to hide about rank 8 mutated beast, they could only walk back to the city from there. ¡°Let¡¯s submit the ¡®Clear Iron ore caves¡¯ mission in the mission hall.¡± While walking back to the city, Leo spoke to Julia as he continued, ¡°As for the ¡®Greedy bandits mission¡¯, let¡¯s say there were no mountain bandits or whatsoever on the Mountain bandits.¡± Since someone from the mission hall was colluding with the Mountain fiend king in creating that mission, Leo decided to feign ignorance regarding that mission. ¡®It is most likely the city leader who was making the deal with the Mountain fiend king in exchange for the Hero coins.¡¯ Even though the mountain fiend king could not answer who it was, Leo could guess the mastermind behind the mission. Because other than the city leader, no one else would dare to do such a thing. So, if he found out that he and Juliapleted that mission, he woulde after them. ¡®Even if it were not for revenge, he would at leaste after the 29 million hero coins. So, it is better to feign ignorance regarding the mission.¡¯ If Leo didn¡¯t find such a huge number of hero coins, he would have been unable to discover why the city leader would conspire with the mountain fiend king. ¡°Sure, Brother Leo.¡± Even though Julia didn¡¯t think someone was colluding with the Mountain fiend king, she knew they would be in trouble if they were informed about their mission aplishment. Because it was basic knowledge that the mountain bandits umted wealth from their looting and the mission hall might ask them to record what they got from the Bandit mountain.-. Even if they record the incorrect number, they will be the target among the other heroes who would not hesitate to kill and steal it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Huh?¡¯ After a few minutes of walking, Leo felt someone was running past them towards the city at an incredible speed, making him raise his brows. ¡®ck suits? Rank 9 heroes?¡¯ Even though they were incredibly fast, Leo was able to see them clearly as he unconsciously clenched his fists. ¡®What are they doing here?¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t recognize their faces, he instantly guessed who they were from their outfit. However, he was surprised to see them entering Phirie city. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me they already have a branch in Phirie city? Looks like I need to be extra careful when I do things in the city from now on.¡¯ Leo silently noted in his head as he watched those two rank 9 heroes enter the city. ¡®Wait a second. If they already established a branch in this city, then the city leader¡­.¡¯ Leo was shocked when he thought about something. ¡®A ¡®God ruins¡¯ appeared.¡¯ ¡®Three fragments of God stones.¡¯ ¡®Even the manticores are trying to establish a new territory when their king is not doing well.¡¯ ¡®Most importantly, the appearance of these people. There is definitely something wrong with Phirie city.¡¯ ¡®What¡¯s happening inside Phirie actually? I just want to find out the truth behind my adoptive parents¡¯ death and seek revenge on their behalf. But, all of a sudden, I feel this city is hiding more things than what it looks on the surface.¡¯ When he recalled all the events after he came to Phirie city, Leo felt something was going on inside or around Phirie city. ¡°Brother Leo, did something happen?¡± Seeing Leo lost in his thoughts, Julia asked him; however, Leo shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s collect the Hero coins from the Misison hall and rest until Premium auction starts.¡± They didn¡¯t encounter any problems as they entered the city to finish the things with the mission hall. ¡­. Inside a luxurious building in the core section of the city, ¡°Master, there are no traces of the Hero coins or the mountain fiend king on the Bandit mountain.¡± The two rank 9 heroes in ck suits were kneeling in front of an old man with a face full of wrinkles. Unlike the two rank 9 heroes, the old man was wearing a white suit with a white hand on his head and a wooden stick in his hand. ¡°What did you say?¡± Hearing their words, the old man seethed with rage as he asked them. ¡°Master, there is no¡­.¡± ¡°Stop talking if you are going to repeat the same sentence.¡± Before they could reply, the old man interrupted them before asking, ¡°I want to know what happened.¡± ¡°Even though we didn¡¯t find the trace of the mountain bandits or the mountain fiends, we found the signs of fighting at the mountain base and on the mountain top.¡± Ren nodded his head as he replied to the old man in white. ¡°Signs of fighting? Are you telling me someone killed them all, disappeared their bodies and took all my money?¡± The old man became even more furious with that conclusion. ¡°Damn it¡­I have been waiting for tomorrow¡¯s premium auction for a few years and just when I thought I could finally get my hands on some good items, someone dared to steal my money?¡± The old man shook in rage as he looked at the two rank 9 heroes and asked, ¡°You know what you have to do now, right?¡± ¡°Yes, master. We have to find those thieves at any cost.¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t find those thieves, you will kill us.¡± Ren and Ken nodded their heads while trying to hide to keep a calm look on their faces. ¡°Start investigating from the mission hall.¡± The old man barely suppressed his anger as he coldly warned, ¡°Finding the lost treasure in a day is impossible. So, I will give you three days before the ¡®God ruins¡¯ opens.¡± ¡°Thank you, master.¡± ¡°We will definitely find those thieves and retrieve all the hero coins he stole.¡± The rank 9 heroes hurriedly thanked the old man before leaving the building. ¡®Damn it¡­now, I will not have enough funds to buy the good things.¡¯ The old man cursed his luck as he walked out of the room where a middle-aged man was waiting for him. ¡°Mr. White, this is the list of the items for tomorrow¡¯s premium auction.¡± Seeing that the old man had walked out of the room, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and gave him a tablet. ¡°Thank you, Family head Oliver.¡± The old man nodded his head as he thanked the middle-aged man named Oliver, the family head of the Icefeather family. As for the old man, his name was White Chandler, known for his various businesses in Phirie city and the second richest person after the city leader. There were even rumours in the upper circle of the city that he was richer than the city leader. So, the three powerful families were always trying to be in the good books of White Chandler. Also, it was the reason why Oliver gave the list of items for tomorrow¡¯s premium auction to White. ¡°I hope, Mr. White, looks after my Icefeather family when we need some help.¡± Oliver Icefeather didn¡¯t hide his intentions as he politely asked what he wanted from the old man. ¡°Of course. You don¡¯t have to mention it.¡± White nodded his head with a slight smile as he checked the list of the items on the screen. ¡°Are you auctioning off these items tomorrow ?¡± Suddenly, the old man¡¯s entire body shook as he saw the top three items on the list. ***** 50 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 100 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 44 Icefeather Auction House In Ambermane¡¯s guest house, Dominic was sitting cross-legged in one of the rooms with his eyes closed as though he was meditating. Other than some simple furniture and a few things, the room was mostly empty. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Suddenly, Leo appeared in front of Dominic out of thin air. ¡°Boss, you are back.¡± Before Leo could make any sound, Dominic opened his eyes and politely greeted him. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded his head and asked, ¡°How are things going on for you?¡± After wrapping up the things in the mission hall, he returned to Julia¡¯s house beforeing here. ¡°From the missions, we got around 10000 hero coins and Zen paid us one hundred thousand hero coins as an advanced paymet.¡± ¡°We noticed that two mercenary squads ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ and ¡®Silent Beasts¡¯ entered the town as they were invited by the other two top families of Phirie city.¡± ¡°As for the search regarding two men you asked, it is still ongoing.¡± Dominic didn¡¯t waste time as he directly exined the progress of the tasks given by Leo. ¡°You can put a hold on the search until wee out of the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡± Leo nodded his head.-. ¡°Okay, boss.¡± Dominic agreed without hesitation as he asked, ¡°Are you sure is it a good idea to bid on the items in the premium auction? Can¡¯t we just steal¡­¡± ¡°Sigh¡­and here I thought you changed your old habits.¡± Leo sighed when he heard Dominic suggest stealing the items. ¡°But we don¡¯t have enough money to bid on the items as we already spent everything on ¡®Them¡¯ beforeing here.¡± Dominic shook his head andined that they didn¡¯t have enough money to bid. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I got lucky and found some hero coins in the wilderness.¡± Leo nonchntly replied to Dominic and lightly tapped Dominic¡¯s storage ring with his storage ring. ¡°I am transferring 10 million hero coins. I will say which items to buy in tomorrow¡¯s auction. Just buy them and give it to meter.¡± ¡°Okay¡± Dominic unconsciously nodded his head; however, he found something was not right. ¡°Wait¡­you sent 10 million hero coins? How much did you find exactly?¡± ¡°29 million.¡± ¡°And, you call it ¡®Some¡¯ money?¡± Dominic knew Leo could not care much about money; however, calling 29 million hero coins ¡®Some¡¯ made him speechless. ¡°Let¡¯s stop the money discussion here.¡± Leo shook his head as he changed the subject, ¡°I saw them, ck suits.¡± ¡°They are in the city?¡± As soon as Leo mentioned ¡®ck suits¡¯, Dominic became serious and hurriedly said, ¡°Leo, I think it¡¯s better for us to leave the city now.¡± This time, Dominic didn¡¯t address Leo as ¡®Boss¡¯; instead, he called him by his name while suggesting they leave the city. ¡°You know I can¡¯t leave until I find out why and who killed my parents, right?¡± Leo shook his head as he continued, ¡°Moreover, you know how I had to live and what I had to do to get here?¡± ¡°Did you forget I am still suffering even now as we speak.¡± While pointing at his chest, Leo spoke in a cold voice, making Dominic sigh. ¡°Since I promised to follow you, I will follow whatever you say.¡± After taking a deep breath, Dominic replied to Leo with a serious look as he continued, ¡°However, you should not forget the true reason wee here. Thousands of lives depend on you, and if something happens to you ¡­.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Leo nodded his head and said, ¡°I will go back now. Let¡¯s meet in the auction tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Right! I forgot about it.¡± Suddenly, Leo recalled something as he took out the minotaur king¡¯s corpse. ¡°There is a rank 6 weaponsmith, Nick. He is looking for the horns to refine a rank 7 weapon or artifact to be a rank 7 hero¡­..¡± Soon, Leo gave the information about the weaponsmith and ordered what Dominic had to do. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will take care of it.¡± Dominic nodded his head as he returned to his usual smiley face after Leo disappeared. ¡­.. Next day, ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go. We are gettingte.¡± In the morning, Julia rushed into Ryan¡¯s house and called Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°I am ready.¡± As soon as she called him, Leo appeared beside her and said he was ready. ¡°Where are you going today?¡± Ryan rushed out of his room and asked with an anxious look. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know. Let¡¯s go, brother.¡± Julia scoffed at Ryan as she pulled Leo¡¯s hand and dragged him out of the house. ¡°Brother Ryan, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Yes, brother. Brother Leo said they are going for a premium auction hosted by Sister Amy¡¯s family.¡± The twins knew their Brother Ryan had feelings for Julia. So, they informed me where they were going. ¡°Also, Julia asked us to give you this ring.¡± While saying that, Emily gave Ryan the ¡®Ring of Fire¡¯. ¡°Really?¡± As he took the ring, Ryan was excited and said, ¡°This is a perfect match for me.¡± As soon as he put the ring on his finger, Ryan felt he could do more damage with his talent. Soon, he started dreaming about Julia. ¡®Sigh. Here he goes again into the dreand.¡¯ ¡®Let¡¯s leave him alone.¡¯ Emily and Evan shook their heads and went back to their rooms. ¡­¡­ After leaving Ryan¡¯s house, Julia and Leo took a ride to the core section of the city, filled with luxurious and majestic buildings. ¡°Julia¡± As soon as they got off their ride, Amy took them into one of the tallest buildings in Phirie city. ¡°Wee to the Icefeather auction house. This is where my family holds all the auctions and it is also where we study the rare items and treasures found in the wilderness.¡± As they entered the building, Amy gave a brief introduction. ¡°Now, let¡¯s talk about the auction.¡± Amy saw them listen attentively. So, she continued, ¡°Since this is a premium auction, we didn¡¯t invite many people. Including you, there are only eight passes issued this time. Each of you will be sitting in a closed chamber to prevent others from knowing who bought the item.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Leo nodded his head and asked, ¡°But, what if the Icefeather family leaks the information?¡± ¡°The Icefeather family would never do that.¡± Amy replied to Leo with a serious look, making Leo nod his head. ¡°Amy, rules got changed at thest minute. On the request of the City leader and three family heads, there will be no closed chambers for this auction.¡± Just as Amy finished her words, a young man in designer clothes made up of rank 9 mutated beasts walked towards them with a smile. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 150 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 45 Powerhouses Enters the Auction Hall Weekly Bonus Chapters (1/3) ****** ¡°Zander, what did you say?¡± Amy raised her brows when she heard the young man¡¯s words. ¡°There will be no closed chambers for this premium auction.¡± With a slight smile, Zander replied to Amy before walking past her. Zander didn¡¯t even bother to look at Leo and Julia from the beginning to the end. Other than Amy, the other two were not significant in his eyes. ¡®Zander? So, he is the son of the city leader.¡¯ Leo had collected the information on the important people in Phirie city. So, when he heard the name, he instantly recognized who the young man was. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t care much about it as it was normal for the city leader¡¯s son to be arrogant. ¡°Amy, the rules have changed. Let¡¯s not think about it since all the participants of today¡¯s auction agreed to go with an open auction.¡± Just as Amy was thinking of meeting up with her father, Oliver walked toward them as he exined the change in rules. ¡°I understand, father.¡± Since the auction participants didn¡¯t have any problem, she didn¡¯t think much about it and nodded her head.-. As for Leo and Julia, even though they got the passes for the auction, no one thought they were the participants. Because each item in the Premium auction was very costly, Leo and Julia could not afford it. ¡°Why don¡¯t you apany your friends during the auction? I will take care of the other things.¡± Soon, Oliver asked Amy to tag along with Leo and Julia because he was afraid they would offend the powerful heroes and bring losses to his auction. ¡°Yes, father.¡± Even though Amy didn¡¯t like her father¡¯s way of thinking, she didn¡¯t want to argue with her father before Leo and Julia. So, she could only nod her head and agree with his words. Soon after that, Oliver and Amy¡¯s group parted ways as one went to take care of the auction items, whereas the other one went to sit in the spacious hall where the auction would take ce. ¡­.. In the spacious hall, there were many chairs; however, almost all of them were empty. ¡°The top three mercenary squads of the Phirie city have already arrived.¡± Once they settled in thest row of the hall, Amy started giving brief information on the people that had already arrived. Leo casually nced at the three pairs of powerful heroes sitting in the different ces of the hall. ¡®Rank 1 mercenary squad:- Berserk Heroes.¡¯ ¡®Rank 2 mercenary squad:- Boundless Fangs.¡¯ ¡®Rank 3 mercenary squad:- Graceful Swans.¡¯ ¡®Not bad, both the leaders and vice leaders of these three squads look powerful.¡¯ Leo used his system to check their brief information and acknowledged them as the powerful rank 9 heroes. ¡°The Ambermane family and Cloudriver have arrived.¡± As Leo checked the top three mercenary squads, he heard an announcement, making them look at the neers. Liam Ambermane, the leader of the Ambermane family, looked to be in his forties with a muscr build and mane-like hair. Beside him, his two sons, Zac and Zen, along with Dominic, walked into the hall and settled in the front rows. Gregor Cloudriver, the leader of the Cloudriver family, had an average build, wearing white coloured battle robes with short white hair. He brought his son Dario along with a young man carrying two des on his back. Soon, they also chose a ce to settle. ¡®Daniel?¡¯ Leo revealed a surprising look at the young man with the des on his back because he knew him. He was none other than the leader of the Ethereal des mercenary squad. ¡®Sister Amy, when will the auction start?¡¯ Julia asked in a low voice with a bored look on her face. ¡®The auction will start once the City leader arrives.¡¯ Amy replied as she asked her to wait for a few minutes. ¡°The city leader, Sir Theodore Voidre has arrived.¡± It didn¡¯t take much time as another announcement came from the speakers installed in the hall. ¡°Greetings, City leader.¡± ¡°Greetings, Mr. White.¡± As long as they saw Theodore walking into the hall, everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. Theodore Voidre looked to be in his thirties; however, he was more than 50 years old. He was wearing a processed hide of peak rank 9 mutated beast king, and he had a nonchnt look on his face as though he was not interested in anything. Besides him and his arrogant son Zanger, White Chandler was also present in his regr white suit. ¡®Who is he?¡¯ Leo had the information on everything present in the room, except for the old man with a white hat. So, he tried to check the information on the old man as he felt a bad premonition in his heart just from looking at the old man. ¡®Ding, Hero assessment. Name:- White Chandler. Error Error . . . Error. ¡®What?¡¯ Besides the name, no information about the old man loaded in the system interface made Leo serious about the old man. ¡®Only when I assess the Supreme heroes the system will show errors.¡¯ It was not his first time having such an assessment; however, he was shocked that another Supreme hero was in Phirie city. Since Leo knew that Theodore was a supreme hero, he didn¡¯t bother to assess him; however, he didn¡¯t imagine the old man was also a Supreme hero. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Just as Leo was thinking about the old man¡¯s origins, Mr. White looked at Leo with a frown before sitting beside the city leader. ¡°Let the auction begin.¡± Once he sat in his seat, Theodore asked Oliver to start the auction. ¡°Yes, City leader.¡± Oliver nodded his head as he signaled a beautifuldy to start the auction. ¡°I know everyone is eagerly waiting for the first item of the Premium auction. So, let¡¯s not waste any time starting the auction.¡± Soon, that beautifuldy walked onto the stage in an elegant walk as she revealed the first item of the auction. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 46 Auction Starts Weekly Bonus Chapters (2/3) ****** ¡°The first item of this premium auction is the rare ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯.¡± A green-coloured shining crystal appeared in the beautiful auctioneer¡¯s hands as she gave a brief introduction about the item. ¡°Even though it is not useful for the mighty heroes like you, it will be useful for the younger generation who might be unlucky to not awaken a talent in the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯.¡± The auctioneer continued, ¡°Having this stone is like having a backup to not get embarrassed by others.¡± At the age of ten, all humans, regardless of rich, poor, powerful, or weak, can enter the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯ to awaken their talents; however, it is not guaranteed that everyone will awaken their talent. Every year, nearly 20 percent of kids were unable to awaken their talents, and year on year, the percentage increased. So, the demand for the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ was very high; however, the supply was almost nil, making it a rare and valuable item. ¡°The initial price of the stone is 10000 Hero coins with a minimum of 1000 Hero coins increment in the bids.¡± After giving a brief introduction, the auctioneer announced the initial price of the stone. ¡°Ambermane family bids 15000 Hero coins.¡± From the Ambermane family, Zen raised the bid by 5000 Hero coins. ¡°Cloudriver family bids 20000 Hero coins.¡± In the next second, Dario, the son of the Cloudriver family head, raised the bid with a carefree look. ¡°25000 Hero coins.¡± Zen didn¡¯t back down as he raised the price by another 5000 Hero coins.-. ¡°26000 Hero coins¡± Dario looked at Zen, and with a slight smile, he raised the price, making Zen frown. ¡°30000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°31000 Hero coins.¡± Only Zen and Dario were bidding for the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯, and they were so fast that they didn¡¯t give the time for the auctioneer to speak. As for the top three mercenary squads, they were not interested in the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ because, unlike the families, they didn¡¯t have to worry about the future generations. The elite families of the Phire city have hundreds of newborns every year, and the chances of having a talentless child were not impossible for them. So, only the two families bid for the item as it was helpful for them. ¡®Brother Leo, if we give this stone to either Emily or Evan, they will awaken a talent, right?¡¯ As the bidding war between Zen and Dario was going on, Julia asked Leo in a low voice. ¡®I guess, it will be helpful.¡¯ Even though Leo replied to Julia, he was not sure about it. The talent awakening stone could be used by anyone who hasn¡¯t awakened a talent yet; however, Emily and Evan have talents; however, they were partially awakened. So, he didn¡¯t know whether it would work or not. ¡®Shall we bid for it?¡¯ Even though it was bing costly with each bid, Julia didn¡¯t think the price would be a problem. ¡®Sure. Let¡¯s go for it.¡¯ Leo nodded his head as he decided to buy it and check whether it could help his siblings. ¡®Since the item is not too valuable, even if we win the bid, it will not cause any problems for us.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he decided to bid for the item. ¡®Julia, you two are joking, right?¡¯ On the other hand, Amy heard them loud and clear and asked Julia with a forced smile. Because she knew Julia was rich enough to spend 1000 Hero coins, not to mention bidding for an item that had nearly reached 50000 Hero coins. ¡®Nope.¡¯ Julia shook her head as she replied with a slight smile, ¡®Don¡¯t worry, Sister Amy. Brother Leo and I made some money on our little exploration.¡¯ ¡°Young Hero Dario bids 49000 Hero coins. Is there anyone who is going to raise the bid?¡± The auctioneer was satisfied with the first item¡¯s price as she first looked at Zen before looking at the others. The bidding war between Zen and Dario was sessfully won by Dario, who had a smug look on his face. ¡°49000 Hero coins, once.¡± ¡°49000 Hero coins, twice.¡± ¡°49000¡­¡± ¡°Young Hero Julia bids 50000 Hero coins.¡± Just when the beautiful auctioneer was about to give the final call, Leo raised the bid by 1000 Hero coins, surprising the entire hall. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Everyone was surprised by the sudden bid from thest row as they turned to look at the voice owner. ¡®Leo¡­Julia.¡¯ Zen was the first to recognize Leo as he informed his father about him. ¡®A lone mercenary?¡¯ Liam frowned as he asked, ¡®Why is he with that girl?¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know father but I am sure that he is protecting her and if I am right.¡¯ Zen answered his father in a low voice. ¡®Damn it¡­what are they doing?¡¯ Oliver, who was apanying the city leader, and Mr.White cursed Leo and Julia; however, he didn¡¯t show it on his face. ¡°Isn¡¯t that your daughter, Family head Oliver?¡± Even Theodore turned back to see; however, when he saw Amy, he asked Oliver. ¡°Yes, City leader. They were her friends and wanted to participate in the auction. So, I let them in.¡± Oliver hurriedly exined to the city leader and everyone in the hall if they misunderstood that he was intentionally raising the prices. ¡°If you don¡¯t want them, I can¡­.¡± ¡°It is good t have youngones participant in the auction to broaden their horizons.¡± Theodore shook his head as he continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We know you won¡¯t dare to intentionally raise the price by such cheap tricks.¡± ¡°City leader is right.¡± Mr.White also agreed with Theodore as his eyes mainly focused on Leo. ¡°Thank you, City leader.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr.White.¡± Oliver hurriedly thanked them before giving the signal to the beautiful auctioneer to resume the auction. ¡°50000 Hero coins, once¡­.twice¡­thrice and sold.¡± No one bid after Leo¡¯s bid as they wanted to see whether Leo could pay for it or not. ¡°The first item is sessfully won by the young hero Julia.¡± The beautiful auctioneer revealed a bright smile as she concluded the bidding for the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯. ¡°The second item¡­.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you give the item to the winner before auctioning the second item?¡± Before the auctioneer could start the bid for the second item, Zander said to Oliver in a loud and clear voice. ¡°¡­¡± Oliver frowned when he heard those words; however, the other party was the son of a Supreme hero. Moreover, he could guess what Zander was trying to do when he said those words; however, Oliver didn¡¯t mind it as he nodded his head. ¡°Someone, pass the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ to the winner and collect the money.¡± ¡°Yes, Family head.¡± Soon, one of the Icefeather family¡¯s servants nodded his head as he carried it to Julia. ¡°Here.¡± Leo shook his head at what everyone was trying to do. Nevertheless, he paid the 51000 Hero coins and said, ¡°The extra 1000 Hero coins¡­you can have it.¡± ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Amy was shocked to see Leo casually take out 51000 Hero coins. ¡°Since the transaction ispleted, shall we continue?¡± With a calm look, Leo looked at Oliver and asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Oliver was surprised at Leo¡¯s calm look and nodded his head at the auctioneer. The others were also surprised because having 51000 Hero coins was not a small thing for an elite hero without proper backing or strength. ¡®I need all the information on him and her before the end of the auction.¡¯ Except for the Ambermane family, everyone typed the message on their phones before focusing on the auction. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 47 [Bonus chapter]Radiant Armour Weekly Bonus Chapters (3/3) ****** ording to their guess, there were only two reasons why Leo and Julia were able to have that many Hero coins. One, they must have good battle prowess andplete many missions from the mission hall. Two, they belong to some powerful family from the other cities. So, they wanted to collect their information. ¡°The second item is armour.¡± The auctioneer unveiled the cloth as a shining armour could be seen by everyone inside a ss. From a single look, anyone could tell that it was not a normal armour but a special one. ¡°It is a Quasi-supreme ss armour called ¡®Radiant armour¡¯. I don¡¯t think you need any more information, right?¡± The auctioneer asked the participants with a mysterious smile. ¡°No need. Let¡¯s start the bidding already.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Who needs more exnation when it¡¯s a Quasi-supreme ss armour?¡± The family heads and the mercenary squad leaders were excited as they asked to start the bidding already.-. ¡®A quasi-supreme ss armour?¡¯ Leo raised his brows for a moment before maintaining a calm look. Everyone was excited and eager to start the bidding for that armour because no one in this world could create such a high-ss armour. Like heroes, the pills, artifacts, and weapons were ssified into different sses starting from Basic, Elite, Advanced and Supreme. As of now, the heroes could only refine the rank 9 pills, artifacts, and weapons which were the peak advanced ss items. As for the Quasi-Supreme ss, it is a ss above the Advanced ss but below the Supreme ss. ¡°The owner of this armour went to great trouble to find this valuable thing, and he stated that there would be no initial price. So, you can start the bidding from 1 Hero coin.¡± The auctioneer knew the response for the armour would be great. So, she started with the initial price of a single hero coin. ¡°Ten million Hero coins.¡± The City leader directly raised the price from a single coin to ten million hero coins. ¡®¡­¡¯ After him, no one raised the price for two reasons. One is to show respect for their city leader, and the other one is that the price is so high already. It was not beneficial to bid against the city leader and pay such a high price. Even though a quasi-supreme ss armour was priceless, no one was willing to spend their entire savings on it. ¡°Our mighty city leader won the second item. Congrattions, City leader.¡± The auctioneer smiled as she congratted Theodore. ¡°Congrattions, city leader.¡± Soon, everyone congratted the city leader with happy smiles except for Oliver, who was annoyed. Even though Theodore bid a good price, Oliver expected another five million coins from the armour. ¡®After this auction, I need to increase the benefits for my family from the city leader.¡¯ Nevertheless, he swore to get some benefits from the city leader. Unlike before, no one asked the city leader to pay for the item right away as they directly proceeded to the third item. ¡°Third item is a rank 9 mutated beast¡¯s egg, and it is guaranteed to be a rank 9 mutated beast with enough resources.¡± The auctioneer started introducing the third item, which was an After the mutation, all beasts turned into non-mammals as they beganying eggs. So, no one was surprised to see the egg of a mutated beast. ¡°The initial price of the egg is one hundred thousand Hero coins, and you can add 10000 hero coins in each bid.¡± The auctioneer knew that the eggcked inparisonpared to the previous item. Nevertheless, she increased the value of the item, ¡°The egg belongs to a rank 9 Moonlight unicorn which is not only known for its healing and flying ability, but it even has a powerful attack skill.¡± ¡°So, don¡¯t miss out on the chance to be the owner of a Moonlight Unicorn.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°A Moonlight unicorn?¡± ¡°They live in the depths of the Solitary forests. How did the Icefeather family manage to get their hands on such an item?¡± As soon as they heard about the mutated beast inside the egg, the entire hall was surprised and eager. ¡°Ambermane family bids 200000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°Cloudriver family bids 300000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°Berserk Heroes bids 310000 Hero coins.¡± . . ¡°Boundless Fangs bids 500000 Hero coins.¡± . . ¡°Berserk Heroes bids 900000 Hero coins.¡± Soon, the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s egg¡¯s price skyrocketed as it reached nearly a million. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect it to be shot to a million Hero coins.¡¯ Oliver was happy with the price as it had already reached double his expected price. ¡®Looks like they forget about the main drawback, and I guess the City leader and Mr.White already know about it.¡¯ Except for the City leader and Mr.White, everyone participated in the bid for the egg. So, he prayed that they don¡¯t mention the drawback. ¡°Even though it is an allrounder, it needs ten times the resources than the regr mutated beasts.¡± In the next moment, everyone¡¯s eagerness disappeared when Freya from the ¡®Graceful Swans¡¯ pointed out the drawback. She was just annoyed that they could not get the egg within their budget. So, she wanted to make those who won the egg regret spending so much on it. ¡°Yeah. That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°We need to spend a lot of resources on it; instead, we can buy ten rank 9 mutated beast eggs and train them to rank 9 with those resources.¡± In the next second, no one bid for the egg, and the one who bidst was the ¡®Berserk Heroes¡¯ leader. He was already regretting being careless with the bid. ¡®Looks like we have to bear the loss. But, don¡¯t worry, we can always earn back that money.¡¯ The vice leader Richard consoled Linus because it was not his fault. Earlier, everyone was excited and forgot about the maindraw, and those who knew about it didn¡¯t bother to bid. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Other than sighing, Linus could not do anything now. ¡®Damn that b*tch. If not for her, the price would have reached 1.5 million coins easily.¡¯ Oliver cursed the vice leader of the ¡®Graceful Swans¡¯; however, when he thought he had already made good returns from the egg, Oliver felt good. ¡®Looks like the fifth item of the auction will also give good returns.¡¯ After seeing the response for the third item, Oliver had great expectations from the fifth item of the auction. ¡°Thest bid is from our ¡®Berserk Heroes¡¯ with 900000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°900000 Hero coins, once.¡± ¡°900000 Hero coins, twice.¡± ¡°900000 Hero coins¡­.¡± ¡°910000 Hero coins.¡± Like before, Leo bid on the auctioneer¡¯s final call, making everyone in the hall once again surprised. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 48 Mutated Beast Egg ¡®What? Does he have more money?¡¯ ¡®Where did he get so much money?¡¯ ¡®Who is he exactly?¡¯ Leo looked to be in his early twenties. So, everyone was surprised where he got so much. However, no one said anything to Leo openly as they were yet to receive the details regarding Leo and Julia. Even Zen raised his brows as he started doubting whether Leo was a lone mercenary or not? ¡°If no one is bidding for the egg, you can give the final call.¡± Amidst the surprised looks of everyone, Leo calmly asked the auctioneer to finish the deal. ¡°Since no one is bidding, the Moonlight unicorn¡¯s egg will go to this young hero for 910000 Hero coins.¡± The auctioneer received the nod from Oliver as she finalized the deal. ¡°To those doubting me whether I have enough Hero coins or not, you can see for yourself.¡± Leo didn¡¯t look at anyone in particr as he took out the required Hero coins from his storage ring and gave them to Amy. ¡®Nod¡¯ Using her ability, Amy made a quick count and nodded her head at Oliver. ¡°Bring the egg to the young hero.¡± Since the other party had paid for the item, Oliver didn¡¯t bother much as he asked someone to deliver the egg. ¡®Looks like the young man thinks he obtained a treasure. However, he will soon realize his mistake.¡¯-. Except for Linus, most of the participants thought that Leo was impulsive and would regret his decisionter. Paying one million Hero coins for a rank 9 mutated beast was not costly; however, if it was a mutated beast like Moonlight Unicorn, then it is expensive. Because raising a Moonlight unicorn was like burning money and resources. ¡®Richard, it looks like we are in luck today.¡¯ On the other hand, Linus heaved a sigh of relief because he didn¡¯t have to pay for the egg. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, Richard looked at Linus without saying anything. ¡­ ¡®Ding, Item name:- Mutated beast egg. (Moonlight Unicorn) Category:- All-rounder (Attacker, Healer, Flying Mount) Potential:- Supreme rank. After receiving the egg, Leo checked the basic information on the egg with the help of the system. ¡®Good.¡¯ He was satisfied with the potential of the mutated beast and decided to raise it. ¡®For others, it might be burning money to raise a Moonlight Unicorn, but for me, it is raising a powerfulpanion.¡¯ Leo was not worried about the cost as he could easily find the resources to raise the Moonlight Unicorn with his strength. ¡®The important thing is forming a connection with the moonlight unicorn.¡¯ It is easy to connect with a mutated spirit beast right after ites out of the egg. So, Leo felt he got a goodpanion at a low price. ¡­ ¡°The next item of the auction is an Elite grade ¡®Talent upgrading stone¡¯, and the initial price will be 100000 Hero coins.¡± Soon, the auctioneer took out the fourth item of the auction, which was a blue-coloured crystal. ¡®Brother Leo, it can be useful for Ryan. If you don¡¯t mind, can you buy it?¡¯ After some hesitation, Julia asked Leo in a low voice. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was surprised a little by Julia¡¯s words because she always fights with Ryan and doesn¡¯t even show concern. ¡®Looks like the feelings between are mutual.¡¯ Leo was happy that both Ryan and Julia liked each other. ¡®Let¡¯s give it a try.¡¯ Since the ¡®Talent upgrading stone¡¯ was helpful for his brother Ryan, Leo didn¡¯t mind bidding for it. An elite grade talent upgrading stone could increase the talent¡¯s level of rank 4 or rank 5 heroes by a single level. Even though it was not helpful for the advanced heroes, the family heads were interested in it for the younger generation heroes in their families. ¡°Cloudriver family bids 700000 Hero coins. Does anyone want to raise the price?¡± The auctioneer didn¡¯t get much response from the item as the price didn¡¯t increase much. ¡°710000 Hero coins.¡± Like always, Leo waited until thest moment before raising the bid. ¡°Young Hero Leo raised the price to 710000 Hero coins.¡± The auctioneer revealed a bright smile as she shouted aloud with great excitement. ¡°800000 Hero coins.¡± Family head Gregor looked at Leo as he raised the price. ¡°Cloudriver family is willing to pay 800000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°810000¡± Leo calmly increased the minimum amount in his bid, making Gregor frown. ¡°900000¡± ¡°910000¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t intend to stop as he had enough money to bid. Moreover, the ¡®Talent upgrading stone¡¯ was beneficial for Ryan, who would be entering the God Ruins soon. ¡°Young Hero, can you give me a face and let me have the item?¡± Before raising the bid, Gregor said those words to Leo, ¡°One million Hero coins.¡± ¡°Cloudriver family¡¯s bid is one million Hero coins.¡± ¡°Once¡­twice¡­¡± Since the family head spoke for himself, the auctioneer guessed that Leo would not raise the bid anymore. So, she decided to end the deal. ¡°One million ten thousand Hero coins.¡± However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Leo raised the price with a calm look. ¡°You?¡± Gregor was furious when he saw Leo dared to bid against him even when he asked to show some respect. ¡°The items in the auction go to the one who has money. If you don¡¯t have money, go home.¡± Leo could not care much as he directly replied to Gregor. ¡°Don¡¯t you know¡­¡± ¡°Family head Gregor, there is nothing wrong with what the young hero Leo said.¡± Before Gregor could say something, Family head Oliver stopped him with a scoff. He was already frustrated when Gregor used his authority to stop Leo from bidding, and now he dared to start a fight in his auction house. ¡°Oliver.¡± Gregor directed his anger at Oliver and wanted to teach him a lesson. ¡°Gregor and Oliver, do you want us to leave?¡± Nevertheless, City leader Theodore stopped them with a single line as they returned to their seats. ¡°If you are not bidding, give up on the item. There is no need to fight with young heroes at your age.¡± Mr. White looked at Leo and said to Gregor. ¡°Yes, Mr. White.¡± Gregor became humble in a split second as he nodded his head. ¡°Young hero Leo¡¯s price is 1010000 Hero coins.¡± ¡°Once¡± ¡°Twice¡± ¡°Thrice¡­Sold.¡± Gregor didn¡¯t bother to bid against Leo anymore as he silently swore, ¡®Let¡¯s see how you are going to survive aftering out of the auction house.¡¯ Soon, Leo settled the money and received the ¡®Talent upgrading stone¡¯. ¡°The fifth item of the auction will make you bid against each other. It is¡­.¡± The beautiful auctioneer didn¡¯t finish her words; instead, she pulled a cloth revealing the fifth item of the auction. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 49 Moonlight Unicorn Besides the beautiful auctioneer, there was a giant cage. Inside the cage, a white-coloured horse was sitting with emotionless eyes. The horse had two wings on its back and a shining horn protruding from its skull. ¡°The fifth item of the auction is a rank 9 enved moonlight unicorn.¡± At the same time, a white stone appeared in the auctioneer¡¯s hand as she spoke, ¡°As long as you have this stone, this moonlight unicorn will follow your orders.¡± ¡®Enved moonlight unicorn.¡¯ ¡®Moreover, it is a rank 9 mutated beast.¡¯ ¡®So, they got the mother and the egg. It looks like the Icefeather family has good connections and has a lot of luck.¡¯ Everyone was surprised to see the moonlight unicorn in the cage as they became jealous of the Icefeather family for their connections and luck. ¡°There is no starting price for this mutated beast. You can start the bidding.¡± The response to the moonlight unicorn¡¯s egg proved that the participants were very much interested in the moonlight unicorn. So, she didn¡¯t state the initial price. ¡°One million.¡± Someone directly raised the price to one million hero coins when the auctioneer finished her words. ¡°Scoff,¡­you want to buy a rank 9 moonlight unicorn with a million hero coins? Dream on.¡±-. ¡°Five million hero coins.¡± The Boundless fangs raised the price five times. ¡°Graceful swans bid six million for the moonlight unicorn.¡± ¡°Cloudriver family¡¯s bidding price is nine million.¡± Once the price reached nine million hero coins, everyone started hesitating to raise the price. Because a regr enved rank 9 mutated beast costs around three-five million, and since the moonlight unicorn is a unique mutated beast, its price should be around seven-eight million hero coins. Now, its price is already nine million hero coins. So, they thought about whether it was a good thing to buy it. ¡°10 million Hero coins.¡± After seeing that the initial excitement of the participants cooled down, the city leader raised the bid to 10 million Hero coins, making Oliver excited. ¡®Sister Amy, isn¡¯t it wrong to enve the mutated beasts?¡¯ On the other hand, Julia asked Amy in a disappointed tone. Even though she knew that the humans enve the mutated beasts for their personal uses, she never expected that her sister¡¯s family was selling the enved mutated beasts. ¡®Julia, that¡¯s how the world works. There are no rules in the world when you have enough strength.¡¯ Amy could only sigh as she knew what Julia might be thinking in her head. Even Amy didn¡¯t like doing business with the enved mutated beasts, but they were just the middle-man, and themission for these items was very high. When ites to money, her father didn¡¯t mind selling the enved humans, not to mention selling the enved mutated beasts. ¡®¡­¡¯ As for Leo, he looked at the lifeless eyes of the moonlight unicorn, making him remember something from his past. ¡±ck suits¡¯ is behind it.¡¯ Leo knew who was selling the enved moonlight unicorn because he had seen their enving techniques. Compared to the enving technique of the manticores, the ¡®ck suits¡¯ didn¡¯t want their enved beasts or humans to think straight. Other than following the orders of the one who holds the soul stone, the enved beings couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡®This shows the ¡®ck suits¡¯ are operating in Phirie city.¡¯ Leo was already doubtful of them when he saw two of their members yesterday, and today, he had confirmed their existence in Phirie city. ¡°Our mighty city leader is willing to pay 10 million Hero coins. Is there anyone who can bid against him?¡± The beautiful auctioneer looked at Leo, hoping he would surprise everyone again with the bid. ¡°Once¡­twice¡­¡± ¡°One million ten thousand hero coins.¡± As she expected, Leo raised the bid, making everyone surprised for a moment before shaking their heads. Because the city leader was already buying the moonlight unicorn at an overpriced range and not the young man increased by another 10000 Hero coins. ¡®He doesn¡¯t know the value of the money.¡¯ ¡®Ignorance is bliss.¡¯ Some were shocked, whereas the others shook their heads at Leo¡¯s ignorance. ¡°City leader, I am just a lone mercenary, and I truly need apanion like a moonlight unicorn with a wide range of skills. So, I hope you will not mind me bidding against you.¡± In the next second, Leo stood up as he informed the city leader about his reason for bidding on the item. ¡®A lone mercenary? Interesting.¡¯ Theodore nodded his head and replied, ¡°Since you are in such dire need of apanion, I will let you have it.¡± ¡°As expected of the mighty supreme hero of Phirie city.¡± Leo scoffed in his heart; however, he praised the City leader on the surface. ¡°But, father. I need it.¡± On the other side, Zander was filled with anger as he asked for the moonlight unicorn. ¡°Sure. However, I will not bid for that item then.¡± Theodore nodded his head as he asked in a low voice, ¡®So, which one do you want? This enved beast or that thing?¡¯ ¡®¡­¡¯ Zander didn¡¯t say anything as he remained silent and thought, ¡®Once I get the item, I can catch as many rank 9 mutated beasts and monsters as possible.¡¯ ¡°Good.¡± Theodore nodded his head and was satisfied with his son¡¯s choice. ¡°The moonlight unicorn is bought by our young hero Leo.¡± No one bid after Leo, and he bought the moonlight unicorn sessfully. ¡®Phew¡­now, I will have some funds to bid for those two items.¡¯ Mr. White heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Leo paid the money for the moonlight unicorn. ¡°Our young hero has sessfully bid for four out of five items. So, my Icefeather auction house has prepared a little gift.¡± Oliver stood up from his seat before the beautiful auctioneer could reveal the next time. ¡°Huh?¡± Leo raised his brows and thought, ¡®What is he doing?¡¯ ¡°Please bring the special item.¡± Oliver asked someone to bring the item as he gave brief information about the item. ¡°It was found in a ¡®God ruins¡¯; however, no one could appraise it because it was a very high-grade item.¡± ¡°I hope the young hero Leo could make good use of it.¡± Compared to before, Oliver¡¯s attitude towards Leo had changed entirely. ¡®Is he nning to give away that item?¡¯ Amy looked at her father and silently thought in her head. Soon, a servant bought a small gift box and gave it to Leo, who opened it without wasting time. ¡®This is¡­¡¯ ¡°Thank you for the special gift, Family head Oliver.¡± Leo was pleasantly surprised with the item inside the gift box as he looked at Oliver and thanked him. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 50 Thundersoul Cage ¡®Looks like he is getting rid of that trash item in the name of the special item.¡¯ Mr. White silently thought in his head as he didn¡¯t bother much about it. ¡°Thank you, family head Oliver. I will make good use of it.¡± However, when Leo saw the item in the gift box, he revealed a slight smile as he thanked Oliver from the bottom of his head. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Seeing that, Oliver got confused and thought, ¡®Did he know how to use that thing?¡¯ ¡®Not even Mr.White was able to appraise that thing. There is nothing to worry about losing that item.¡¯ Once he thought about the evaluation of that item from White Chandler, Oliver didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡®However, I am curious about his origins.¡¯ Not only Oliver, everyone was curious about Leo¡¯s origins and wanted to find out how he had so much money. ¡­. ¡®Beep¡¯ Suddenly, the city leader received a message from a contact named ¡®Money grubber¡¯ on his phone. ¡®Click¡¯ Theodore opened the message. ¡­.-. Name:- Leo. Age:- 23 Profession:- Mercenary (works alone). Hero rank:- Rank 6. Talents:- Teleportation and Combustion. Note: There is no rity on the talents¡¯ levels, but at least one of them has to be level 6. Achievements:- 1) He became famous after killing three rank 6 monster kings in the monster invasion against Starlight city. 2) During the same invasion, he also saved the young geniuses from the powerful families, including the son of the city leader of Starlight city. Backing:- The city leader and the three influential families of the starlight city might help him to repay the favor for saving their young geniuses. Reason foring to Phirie city:- Possibly to enter the ¡®God ruins¡¯. Theplete information about Leo appeared on the screen, making Theodore surprised. ¡®No wonder he was able to take out so much money.¡¯ Finally, the city leader understood how Leo got so much money. ¡®Beep¡¯ [The cost of this information is one million hero coins] ¡®This money-grubbing b*stard.¡¯ In the next second, he received another message, and checking it made the city leader curse him. Nevertheless, he asked one of his loyal servants to settle payment with the ¡®Money grubber¡¯. ¡­ ¡®Beep¡¯ Soon after, the other participants also received messages containing Leo¡¯s information. ¡®So, he had the support of a city leader. No wonder he was openly showing off.¡¯ After checking out Leo¡¯s information, this was the conclusion everyone came off too. ¡®He is a lone mercenary.¡¯ Linus, the ¡®Berserk Heroes¡¯ mercenary squad leader, was excited as he asked Richard, ¡®Shall we invite him to our squad?¡¯ In their view, Leo had a good support talent and a powerful attack talent. So, as long as he bes an advanced hero in the future, he will only be more and more powerful. ¡®Let¡¯s not embarrass ourselves in front of him. Do you think he will join us?¡¯ Richard scoffed at Linus as he said, ¡®For now, let¡¯s focus on the auction and buy some useful items for our young squad members in the ¡®God ruins¡¯.¡¯ The actual objective of all the participants except for Mr.White and Leo was to get some valuable items for their young geniuses who would be entering the ¡®God ruins¡¯. ¡°Sixth item, the rank 8 healing pills.¡± ¡°Seventh item, the rank 8 talisman ¡®Invisible armour¡¯.¡± ¡°Eighth item¡­.¡± . . The auctioneer introduced one item after another as the participants instantly brought them at a reasonable price. Oliver had an ear-to-ear smile as he counted the profit he would get after sessfully selling an item. As for Leo, nothing piqued his interest, and he didn¡¯t bother to bid for anything. ¡°There are only two items left for this auction, and as you already know, we keep the best items for thest.¡± The beautiful auctioneer revealed a mysterious smile as a small golden cage appeared in her hand. ¡°The penultimate item of this auction is a Quasi-supreme grade artifact ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯. As the name suggests, its main function is to capture the monsters and the mutated beasts.¡± The auctioneer briefly introduced the item as she stated, ¡°Starting price is 10 million hero coins.¡± ¡®Another quasi-supreme grade item.¡¯ Everyone was surprised because finding one of such items was already a miracle, but there was another item. Moreover, the price of the artifact was very high, which made the three mercenary squads hesitate in bidding. ¡°15 million Hero coins.¡± Amidst the silence, Mr.White raised the first bid, and he directly increased the price to 15 million hero coins. ¡®As expected of Mr.White. No wonder he is the richest man in Phirie city.¡¯ The previous quasi-supreme grade artifact was sold for 10 million Hero coins. So, 15 million hero coins could be considered pricey. However, for Mr.White, the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ was an invaluable item he must get at any cost. ¡®I don¡¯t have any use for this artifact; however, it looks like someone will go to any lengths for it?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to bid for the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯; however, he was curious about Mr.White because he didn¡¯t know about such a powerful existence until he checked with the system. Also, he felt Mr.White was spending a little bit too much for the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯. ¡®Let¡¯s test the waters then.¡¯ With that thought in his head, Leo raised the bid, ¡°16 million Hero coins.¡± ¡°Here, he goes again.¡± Everyone except for Mr.White looked at Leo with exciting looks. ¡°20 million Hero coins.¡± In the next second, Mr.White gritted his teeth as he raised the bid by million Hero coins. ¡°What? Why is Mr.White so interested in that item?¡± Everyone was curious why Mr.White was so adamant about getting that item. ¡®Excellent. Leo¡­you are my lucky charm.¡¯ However, someone knew why Mr.White was adamant about getting the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯, and it was none other than Oliver. He also knew that no one else would dare to bid against Mr.White. That¡¯s why he put the starting price of ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ at 10 million Hero coins, not to incur any losses. However, who would have thought that the price got raised by another five million coins because of Leo. ¡®Leo,e on. Bid for the item. Mr.White will increase the price for sure.¡¯ At the same time, he was hoping Leo would increase the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ price. However, too bad for Oliver, Leo got the answer to his question. So, he didn¡¯t bother to bid for the item. ¡°Thundersoul cage¡­going for 20 million coins. Once¡­twice¡­thrice¡­Sold.¡± Soon, the beautiful auctioneer ended the deal for the ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ at 20 million coins. ¡°The final item of today¡¯s premium auction is¡­. ¡®Fragment of the God Stone¡¯.¡± ***** Finally¡­TSH reached 50 chapters. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters.

As the powerhouses of Phire City, everyone knew about the existence of the God stones and how valuable they were. So, everyone was eager to bid and called their friends and family to gather the funds. It was inevitable there would be a crazy bidding war for the Fragment of the God stone, and no one wanted to miss the item because of theirck of funds. ¡®Damn it¡­now I don¡¯t have enough coins for thest time.¡¯ Unlike others, Mr.White knew the auction items beforehand, and he was very much interested in the three items. To his bad luck, someone stole his money just a day before the auction, and because of that, he eliminated the ¡®Radiant armour¡¯ and decided to buy ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ and the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯. What¡¯s more, he even sold his favourite enved beast ¡®Moonlight Unicorn¡¯ to raise his funds. He barely had the money for the two items even after seeing the Moonlight Unicorn and its egg. However, because of Leo, he wasted another five million Hero coins. So, Mr. White was not in a good mood. ¡®Unlike these b*stards, I can¡¯t ask others for money because it will ruin my perfect image of the richest business.¡¯-. Mr.White was thinking of ways to secure the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ at any cost. ¡­ ¡®Another fragment of the God stone?¡¯ Leo kept the special gift box away as he looked at the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ in the beautiful auctioneer¡¯s hands. ¡®When did the fragments of the God stone be so easy to find?¡¯ It was the fourth God stone¡¯s fragment that Leo had seen in thest two days, making him confused. ¡®From the looks of it, I don¡¯t think I can get my hands on it.¡¯ Soon, he checked the faces of other participants who looked determined to get the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ at any cost. ¡®Also, that old man looks even more determined and anxious.¡¯ Leo looked at Mr.White, and he could tell that he was not only determined, but he was also a little bit anxious. ¡®Is he really the leader of the ¡®ck suits¡¯?¡¯ In the next second, Leo looked at the beast storage device in his hands and silently thought about the true identity of Mr. White. Currently, the enved moonlight unicorn was inside the beast storage device. When he connected the dots regarding the existence of the ¡®ck suits¡¯, a rank 9 enved mutated beast and a supreme hero, he felt Mr. White was more likely to be the leader of the ¡®ck suits¡¯. ¡®If he was really the branch leader of the ¡®ck suits¡¯, why is hecking funds to buy it? Unless he was trying to pocket the items for himself.¡¯ ¡®Wait a second¡­is it him who was behind the Mountain fiend king.¡¯ Leo was intelligent; however, he was not a god. So, besides guessing about the things, Leo could not confirm it until he found solid evidence. ¡°There is no starting price for the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ because it is a priceless item. So, you can start the bidding.¡± The auctioneer didn¡¯t state the initial price and left it to the participants to decide its worth. ¡°Ten million Hero coins.¡± Linus made the first bid with ten million Hero coins. ¡°12 million Hero coins.¡± Bradley, the ¡®Boundless Fangs¡¯ mercenary squad leader, made the second bid. ¡°15 million.¡± Valerie, the ¡®Graceful swans¡¯ mercenary squad leader, followed before the auctioneer could say anything. ¡°20 million¡± ¡°21 million¡± . . . ¡°30 million Hero coins.¡± Before Leo could even think about bidding, the ¡®Fragment of God stone¡¯ price reached a whopping 30 million Hero coins. ¡°The city leader¡¯s bidding price is 30 million Hero coins. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than that?¡± The beautiful auctioneer looked at the other participants and asked with a bright smile. The ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ target was 20 million Hero coins; however, it reached 10 million hero coins, higher than their assumption. So, she didn¡¯t care much as she only asked it casually. ¡®Damn it¡­I am short of just one million Hero coins. If only that b*stard didn¡¯t bid against me earlier, I would have easily won this item.¡¯ Mr. White cursed Leo as he looked at the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ with a bitter look. ¡®Looks like I need to speed up the n if I want to get this ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯.¡¯ Mr. White thought about the other way to get the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯. ¡®I hope Theodore will not use it before that.¡¯ Without money, Mr. White could only watch City leader Theodore take the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ in front of his eyes. ¡°Everyone, thank you for visiting the premium auction conducted by my Icefeather family.¡± Once the items and their payments were settled, Oliver walked to the stage and thanked everyone. ¡°We need to thank family head Oliver for gathering such valuable items.¡± ¡°Yes. I hope family head Oliver continues to host such premium auctions more and more in the future.¡± ¡°Yes. Even if we didn¡¯t get good items in one auction, we might get them in another auction.¡± All the participants, including the city leader and Mr.White, thanked family head Oliver. ¡°Of course.¡± Oliver nodded his head as he promised, ¡°As soon as I collect enough valuable and rare items, I will host a premium auction just like today.¡± ¡°We will take our leave now.¡± The City leader and others started leaving the spacious auction hall, nodding their heads. ¡°City leader, wait a second.¡± Just as Theodore was about to leave the hall, Leo respectfully called Theodore. ¡°Huh? What is it?¡± Today, Theodore was in a good mood after getting the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯. So, he replied to Leo with a slight smile. ¡°Before today, I had never seen a ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ in my life. So, I want to touch it once and brag to my friends about it.¡± In Theodore¡¯s eyes, Leo seemed like a young man curious about the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯. ¡°And why do you think I will give it to you just like that?¡± Theodore revealed a slight smile as he asked Leo. ¡°I heard the city leader is magnanimous and always helps the young heroes broaden their horizons¡­..¡± Leo made up a bullsh*t as he praised the city leader. ¡°Also, if the city leader allows me to touch it, I will pay one million hero coins.¡± At the end of his words, he even said that he would pay one million hero coins, surprising everyone. ¡°Do you think I amcking money?¡± If it was anyone else, they could have instantly agreed after hearing Leo¡¯s praises and one million coins; however, Theodore was not an easy target as he directly rejected Leo¡¯s offer. ¡°What about now?¡± Leo was not surprised by Theodore¡¯s reply; instead, he took out a fruit from his storage ring and asked whether he could touch the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 52 Deal Leo knew that he could not get his hands on the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ with the Hero coins he had in his hands. He didn¡¯t need the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to increase his Hero rank; however, all he needed to do was touch the item to use the special effect of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ exclusive to him. So, he came up with a n to hold the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ using Hero coins. However, Theodore didn¡¯tck the money as he was pocketing the city funds; instead of upgrading the city¡¯s defense. ¡°What about now?¡± Because of that, he used another item that the city leader would definitely not resist. ¡°An Iron ore fruit?¡± The city leader and others were surprised at the silver-coloured fruit in Leo¡¯s hands. That¡¯s right! It was the iron ore fruit that Leo found in one of the iron ore caves. ¡°Are you going to give away that fruit just to hold the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯?¡± Theodore asked Leo with a doubtful look as he felt Leo might have ulterior motives. ¡®Is he nning to run away with the Fragment of the God stone?¡¯ Since Leo¡¯s talent was [Teleportation], the city leader thought Leo might use it to escape; however, the iron ore fruit was essential to him. ¡°Of course.¡± Leo nodded his head with a smile, making the city leader even more doubtful.-. Initially, he was nning to auction it out; however, after finding some crucial information about the city leader, he decided to keep it with him and use it at the right time. The crucial information was that the city leader¡¯s daughter Z¡¯s talent was rted to metal. Moreover, her talent was at level 5, the perfect time to consume the iron ore fruit. In the entire city, it was a known fact that the city leader would go to any lengths for his daughter. ¡°Sure.¡± Finally, after thinking for a while, the city leader agreed to Leo¡¯s request without much surprise. ¡°Thank you, City leader.¡± Leo thanked Theodore as he gave the iron ore fruit to him. ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia was looking at Leo¡¯s actions with a speechless look from the side. ¡®It is your first time seeing a ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯? What a joke? If they knew that you casually gave away two fragments of the God stone, they would have a heart stroke.¡¯ Even though Julia didn¡¯t know what Leo was nning, she knew Leo was not nning to steal it openly in front of everyone. Because the city leader is a mighty Supreme Hero, and it is impossible to escape. ¡®However, I am curious about what he is trying to do.¡¯ Even after giving away two fragments of the God stone, Leo still had one more Fragment of the God stone. So, she was curious about Leo¡¯s actions. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the city leader and Leo exchanged the items, a barrier appeared around them. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo raised his brows when he saw the barrier. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. It¡¯s just one of my servants being careful.¡± The next second, the city leader exined about the barrier and smiled, ¡°Now, you can brag that you touched the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded his head, but it was not for Theodore¡¯s words; instead, it was a reply to the system notification which he received a few seconds ago. ¡®Ding, The system has detected a new ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ in the host¡¯s hands. Do you want to use its special effect? As soon as Leo nodded his head, invisible energy from the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ entered his body. ¡®Ding, The three months of waiting to swallow a new talent are removed. ¡®Ding, The host can now swallow a new talent. Soon, a couple of system notifications appeared in his head, making Leo smile. After confirming that the iron ore fruit was genuine, Theodore silently kept it away. ¡®He is a hot-blooded youth. Holding the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ makes him smile like that.¡¯ When he saw how satisfied Leo was to hold the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯, the city leader shook his head and thought, ¡®And here I am, doubting him.¡¯ ¡°Thank you, city leader. Now, I can brag about the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯.¡± Leo returned the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ as he already got what he wanted, and he didn¡¯t forget to thank the city leader. ¡°Zander, let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, the city leader left with his son with a happy smile. ¡®Not only did I get the special gift from Family head Oliver, but I also decreased my three-month waiting period.¡¯ It was not only Theodore who was in a good mood, but Leo was also in a good mood. ¡°Young Hero Leo, I am Linus, the Berserk Heroes mercenary squad leader.¡± Just as Leo was about to leave with Julia, he was stopped by a middle-aged man. ¡°Hello, Captain Linus.¡± Leo nodded his head as he asked, ¡°Is there something you need?¡± Even though it was Leo¡¯s first time meeting Linus, he had heard some good things about him. So, Leo was polite to him. ¡°Thank you for your help earlier.¡± Linus thanked Leo as he spoke, ¡°If you ever need any help, you can contact me ore to my squad residence.¡± While speaking, Linus gave a Hero coin to Leo. Unlike the regr Hero coins, which were in, this Hero coin had two letters ¡®BH¡¯ engraved. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Richard.¡± Linus didn¡¯t wait for Leo¡¯s reply as he quietly left the hall. ¡®I might ask a big favour in the future.¡¯ Looking at the coin in his hand, Leo silently muttered in his head and kept the coin in his storage ring. ¡­.. Outside the auction house, Whileing out of the auction, Amy asked Julia many questions regarding Leo¡¯s origins and the source of the money. However, before Julia could say anything, Amy¡¯s father, Oliver, revealed Leo¡¯s information he received earlier from ¡®Money grubber¡¯. After learning about it, Amy was surprised at Leo¡¯s achievement at such a young age. ¡®Wow¡¯ Even Julia was surprised when she heard about Leo¡¯s achievements. ¡°Amy, I heard Young Hero Leo lives next to your house. You have to help him if he needs anything.¡± Leo became a rank 6 hero in his early twenties, and with the backing of Starlight city, Leo¡¯s future would be bright. So, he wanted his daughter to be close with Leo. ¡®¡­¡¯ Amy looked at her father and clenched her fists in anger before leaving. ¡®This girl¡­.how long does she n on waiting for that ¡®Murderer¡¯?¡¯ Oliver became angry at Amy; however, he suppressed it. ¡°Sister Amy.¡± Julia hurriedly rushed after Amy as she knew why Amy was angry. ¡°Young Hero Leo, Mr. White is inviting you for a coffee. Will youe and have a little chat with him?¡± After they left, Oliver changed the topic and informed the real reason why he was following him. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo raised his brows before nodding his head and following Oliver back into the auction house. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 53 Supreme Market ¡°Mr.White, we are here.¡± Soon, Oliver guided Leo into a luxurious room on the top floor of the building. ¡°Take a seat, young hero.¡± Mr.White maintained a pleasant smile on his wrinkled face as he asked Leo to sit down. ¡°Sure.¡± Leo was calm as he sat and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t drink coffee. So, let¡¯se to the main business directly.¡± ¡°Young Hero Leo is straightforward. I like it.¡± The old man nodded and nced at Oliver, who nodded and left the room after informing Leo. ¡°Also, there is no need to call me ¡®Young Hero¡¯ every time you call me. You can just call me Leo.¡± At the same time, Leo asked Mr.White to call him Leo. ¡°As you wish, Leo.¡± With a light chuckle, the old man nodded his head. ¡°Just like you, I don¡¯t like beating around the bush. So, I wille to the main point of why I called you here.¡± Mr.White didn¡¯t waste any time as he asked, ¡°Have you ever heard of ¡®Supreme Market¡¯?¡± ¡®Supreme Market?¡¯-. Leo revealed a surprised look on his face. ¡°Looks like you have heard about it. Good, it saves me the trouble of exining it.¡± Mr.White revealed a slight smile as he asked, ¡°Do you want ess to the Supreme Market of our Phirie city?¡± Even though its name sounds grandeur, Supreme Market was just a ck Market. Many cities have these so-called ¡®Supreme Markets¡¯, aka ck markets, and only a few people have ess to them. Even if one has the money, it might not guarantee ess to these markets because only those with the potential to be rank 9 heroes would be given ess. You buy and sell many things in these markets, including enved monsters, beasts, and even humans. Also, one can put bounties on their enemies, and anyone who likes the reward would go after the target. The identities of both those who put the bounty and whopleted the mission would be hidden during the whole process because everyone wears unique masks and uses code names. ¡®Looks like my guess about him is true.¡¯ Finally, Leo confirmed that Mr.White was the leader of the ¡®ck suits¡¯ in Phirie city. Because these Supreme Markets were operated by none other than ¡®ck suits¡¯ and only the leaders could give ess to the new members. ¡°What do you want?¡± Of course, Leo knew that Mr.White was not generous enough to give ess to him without asking for anything in return. ¡°You are sharp.¡± Mr.White praised Leo with a satisfied smile and asked, ¡°I guess you will be entering the [God ruins], right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°All you have to do is find at least one ¡®Fragment of God stone¡¯ and bring it to me.¡± Mr.White directly asked what he wanted as he continued, ¡°Of course, I will let you buy the things worth 30 million Hero coins in the Supreme Market. What do you say?¡± Almost all of the Fragments of the God stones in history were found in the [God ruins]. So, Leo, who had two top-notch talents, had a higher chance of getting them. Since Mr. White owns the Supreme Market, the buyer and seller would pay him amission of some percent. So, it was not a problem for him to allow Leo to buy 30 million Hero coins worth of items in the Supreme Market. Of course, Mr.White was betting everything on Leo; instead, he had a whole group of young heroes from Phirie city entering the [God ruins]. Leo didn¡¯t agree to Mr. White¡¯s condition; instead, he asked, ¡°But, what if I don¡¯t get my hands on any ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯?¡± ¡°You will still get the ess; however, to get the 30 million hero coins, you have to bring me the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a bad deal, right?¡± Mr.White asked with a slight smile as he knew no one who knew about ¡®Supreme Market¡¯ would refuse the deal. ¡°Yes.¡± As Mr.White expected, Leo agreed to the deal and left the room. ¡®So what if you have the backing of a city leader? You are just another one who follows orders to get benefits.¡¯ Even though he cursed Leo in the auction house for making him spend more on ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯, he didn¡¯t hate Leo. Instead, he thought about something else and wanted to use him to get what he wanted from [God ruins]. ¡®He will be among the top ten young heroes entering the [God ruins]. I hope you find at least one ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯.¡¯ Seeing the leaving silhouette of Leo, Mr.White silently thought to himself. ¡®I wonder whether those b*stards found the thieves that stole my money.¡¯ At the same time, he thought about Ren and Ken, searching for the thieves who stole the Hero coins from the ¡®Bandit mountain¡¯. ¡®Also, the manticores must have settled in the Solitary forest by now, but why didn¡¯t they send any message?¡¯ While enjoying his coffee, Mr.White started thinking about other things he was supposed to do in the Phirie city. ¡­.. In the city leader¡¯s mansion, ¡°My dear daughter,e and see what I bought for you?¡± With a happy smile, Theodore called his daughter. ¡°What is it, father?¡± Soon, an 18-year-old beautiful girl rushed out of her room with an exciting look. ¡°A fruit?¡± However, when she saw a silver-coloured fruit in Theodore¡¯s hands, her excitement vanished. From a young age, she had eaten a lot of fruits. So, fruits didn¡¯t excite her anymore. ¡°Little girl, just eat and see the benefits of this fruit for yourself.¡± Theodore didn¡¯t exin the benefits and asked Z to eat it. ¡°Okay.¡± Looking at the excited look on her father¡¯s face, Z guessed the fruit might be valuable because her father had that look whenever he gave some priceless treasure to her. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Sweet¡¯ So, Z took a bite and surprisedly eximed with a unique sweetness. Within no time, she finished the fruit, and the moment she finished it, her fists turned into metallic fists. ¡°Father, my talent¡­it increased to level 6. I became a rank 6 Hero.¡± Soon, she noticed that change in her talent and excitedly danced. ¡°Congrattions, my dear daughter.¡± Theodore also started dancing as he congratted her. ¡°Father, what about me? You promised me ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯?¡± However, Zander was not happy as he asked his father about his promised item. ¡°Mr.White was adamant about getting it. So, I didn¡¯t bid against him.¡± Theodore shook his head and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take the ¡®Radiant armour¡¯. It is also the same grade.¡± ¡°Thank you, Father.¡± Soon, Zander thanked his father and started dancing with his little sister. Zander knew that his father would not bid against Mr.White. So, he changed his liking from ¡®Thundersoul cage¡¯ to ¡®Radiant armour¡¯ because they were both Quasi-supreme grade items. If someone saw the scene where the city leader was dancing with his children, they would feel they were dreaming. ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 54 Rules of [God ruins] In Ryan¡¯s house, ¡°Emily, Evan, who wants to use this ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯?¡± Earlier, Ryan received the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ from Leo. Of course, he used Julia¡¯s name to make himfortable. After getting his hands on the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯, Ryan didn¡¯t waste any time and called his siblings. Since there was only one ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯, only one of them could use it to awaken the talent. ¡°Brother Ryan, let Emily use it. I can wait until you find another ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯.¡± ¡°No, Brother Ryan. As his big sister, I can¡¯t use it. Give it to me.¡± ¡°I am older than you. As your older brother, I order you to take it.¡± ¡°Stop arguing, Evan; Just use it.¡± The bond between the twins was great, making Ryan and Leo shake their heads. ¡°Stop it.¡± Ryan asked them to stop arguing and looked at Leo, ¡°Brother Leo, since you got this Talent awakening stone, why don¡¯t you pick one of them.¡± ¡®Brother Leo, pick him.¡¯ ¡®No, pick her.¡¯ As Ryan looked at Leo, the twins pointed their fingers at each other and asked him to pick. ¡°Sigh¡­let¡¯s do this.¡± Leo sighed because both were equal in his eyes, and he could favour one over the other.-. ¡°Choose a hand.¡± So, he came up with an idea as he extended his fists and asked them to choose one hand. Emily and Evan looked at Leo and hesitated to choose; however, Ryan¡¯s re from the side made them select a hand. ¡°Emily, you have to use it.¡± As soon as they chose, Leo opened the fist that Emily selected and asked her to use the stone. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Use it. If it works for you, I will find the other Talent awakening stone in the God ruins.¡± Ryan shook his head as he asked her to use it. Ryan was entering the [God ruins] to find a way for his siblings to awaken their talents, and even if he didn¡¯t find a way, he could find some treasures and sell them for money to buy the ¡®Talent awakening stones¡¯. Since his siblings were sick aftering out of the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯, Ryan was unsure whether a ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ would work on them or not? Nevertheless, he umted the Hero coins to buy a talent awakening stone to test. Finally, because of Leo, he got a Talent awakening stone, and everything would be clear once Emily used the talent awakening stone. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Even though Emily was unwilling to use it, she didn¡¯t have a choice other than using it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as she swallowed the stone, Emily¡¯s body waspletely covered with a bright light. Soon, Emily¡¯s pale face started bing normal, and within no time, it became rosy. After a few seconds, the light around Emily disappeared, and she no longer looked like a patient; instead, she looked healthy and beautiful. ¡°Emily, did it work? Did you awaken your talent?¡± Ryan was already satisfied that Emily no longer looked like a patient; however, he was curious about the talent because the main use of the ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯ was to awaken a talent. ¡°Yes, Brother. I awakened a talent. ¡° Emily nodded her head with a beautiful smile as she continued, ¡°It is ¡®Beast control¡¯.¡± ¡°What? Great.¡± Ryan fell to his knees as heughed and cried simultaneously. ¡°Congrattions, Emily.¡± Leo and Evan were also very happy for Emily as they congratted her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Emily thanked everyone, especially Leo, for giving her a ¡®Talent awakening stone¡¯. ¡°Evan, I promise you that I will find a talent awakening stone for you with my special talent.¡± Also, she didn¡¯t forget to promise her twin brother. ¡°I know.¡± Evan nodded his head with a smile as he hadplete faith in his sister. ¡°Brother, I want to test my¡­.¡± Soon, Emily said she wanted to use her talent; however, she needed a mutated beast to test it. However, before she could finish her words, Emily lost consciousness. ¡°Emily.¡± Leo caught her before she could fall as he checked her condition using the system. ¡®Ding, Human assessment Name:- Emily Age:- 17 years 6 months. Hero rank:- None Talent:- Beast control (Fully Awakened). Body status:- Weak. ¡°There is nothing to worry about. She is just weak after awakening her talent.¡± Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he informed Ryan. ¡°Really?¡± Ryan felt relieved and understood the problem. Even a healthy kid would be weak after awakening the talent; Emily was no exception. Moreover, she had a weak physique until a few moments back. So, they decided to let her rest. ¡®Brother, I want to use my talent.¡¯ As they were about to leave her room, Emily spoke in her weak voice. ¡°No, you will not use your talent until you recover fully.¡± Before Ryan could say something, Leo declined her request. Ryan agreed with Leo. ¡­¡­ Time continued to pass as the D-day for the opening of [God ruins] came. During thest couple of days, the top mercenary squads, the three advanced families, made enough preparations for their young heroes. The three top families sent a group of young and powerful mercenaries to protect their geniuses. Not only the advanced families and top mercenary squads, everyone prepared to their best as they gathered in front of the [God Ruins]. The [God ruins] was situated 10 kilometers away from Phirie city. So, no one had any problem gathering because the monsters and mutated beasts were scared away because of Theodore¡¯s presence. ¡°Looks like so many of the young heroes have gathered here.¡± Theodore looked at all the young heroes standing in front of him with a smile. There were around 200 rank 5 and 50 rank 6 young heroes who came eagerly looking at the huge pir behind Theodore. The pir was pitch ck with many mysterious symbols and signs on it. Everyone knows it is the key to entering the [God ruins] and waiting for the city leader to open it quickly. ¡°Before entering the God ruins, let me state these particr [God ruins] requirements.¡± Theodore was not in a hurry to open the [God ruins] entrance as he started exining the rules. The rules of the [God ruins] are not the same, and they will change from one [God ruins] to another. They figured out the rules before entering the [God ruins] by decoding the symbols and signs on pirs. ¡°Only 25 years old or below can enter, and if others try to enter, they will be turned into nothingness.¡± ¡°Two, no weapons or artifacts including storage rings will not work inside the [God ruins].¡± ¡°What?¡± No one was surprised by the first rule; however, they frowned when they heard the second rule. Because everyone bought new weapons and artifacts just for this [God ruins], they learned that they could not use them. ¡°Even if you bring them in, they will be temporarily sealed by the [God ruins].¡± Theodore shook his head as he could do nothing about it. ¡°However, something about this [God ruins] makes it very special.¡± A smile appeared on his face as Theodore continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to fear Death inside this [God ruins] because it is a ¡®Secure God Ruins¡¯.¡± ***** 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 55 Entering the [God ruins] Until now, the humans learned a few things about [God ruins], and among them, the type of the [God ruins] was one. They ssified [God ruins] into two types depending on the danger. They are [Secure God Ruins] and [Unsecure God Ruins]. If the participant was killed in Secure God Ruins, he would be safely reported out of the God ruins. In an Unsecure God Ruins, you will die for real if you die in the God ruins. ¡°You don¡¯t have to fear Death inside this [God ruins] because it is a [Secure God Ruins].¡± Theodore announced with a smile on his face. ¡°Wow¡­looks like today is my lucky day.¡± ¡°Finally, I can go all out without worrying about the consequences.¡± ¡°Yes. Even if I get killed, I will be teleported out of the [God ruins].¡± After hearing Theodore¡¯s words, everyone became excited as they didn¡¯t have to fear death in the God ruins anymore. ¡°Everyone, I hope you all find good treasures inside the God ruins andpete with one another without holding back anything.¡± Soon, Theodore encouraged all the young heroes to enter the God ruins before injecting his energy into the ck pir. ¡®Kacha¡¯ The two sides of the pir opened. The front side merged with the backside of the pir before turning into a huge entrance without a door.-. ¡°Everyone can enter the [God ruins] through this entrance.¡± After opening the [God ruins] entrance, Theodore asked the young heroes to enter the [God ruins]. ¡°Yes, City leader.¡± They have been waiting for this moment for a while now. So, as soon as they heard Theodore¡¯s words, they didn¡¯t waste any time rushing into the [God ruins]. ¡°Julia, Let¡¯s go.¡± Leo and Julia also entered the [God ruins] together. As for Ryan, he was tasked with helping Zander and Z inside the [God ruins], and since he was a member of the Beast hunting squad, he could only follow the orders. ¡®But, the city leader promised us to reward generously. Moreover, I don¡¯t have to worry about Julia since it is a [Secure God Ruin].¡¯ Ryan heaved a sigh of relief as he followed Zander and Z along with the other city servants. Amy led a group of young heroes from the Icefeather family, and the Silent Beasts mercenary squad followed them as per the prior agreement. Like Amy, Zen and Dario lead the young heroes from their family and the Golden Giants and Ethereal des mercenary squads. Other than them, many rank 4, rank 5, and rank 6 young heroes entered the [God Ruins] with great excitement. ¡®Sigh¡­only if it was an [Unsecure God Ruins]¡¯, it would have been easy to kill the geniuses from other families.¡¯ The leaders of the three families had the same thought in their heads as they sighed. For this [God ruins], they paid a huge amount to hire the young and powerful mercenaries to protect their young geniuses and kill the geniuses from other families. ¡®Nevermind, they can help the young heroes from my family in getting more items.¡¯ They were not worried the mercenaries they hired would betray them after getting their hands on some rare treasures. Because they used a special contract regarding their deal, and they could not break it unless they wanted to die. ¡­. In an Unknown ce, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A huge entrance appeared on the in ground as the young heroes from Phirie city walked out of it. ¡°Is this how a [God ruins] looks?¡± ¡°The air is so pure.¡± ¡°Yeah. It is much purer than the air in Phirie city.¡± ¡°Woah¡­the trees here look way bigger than the outside world.¡± It was the first time all the young heroes entered a [God ruins], and they observed their surroundings and felt the changes from the outside world. The insides of the [God ruins] looked almost simr to the outside world except for the air and trees. The air was so pure that it left a sweet aftertaste in their mouths if they took a deep breath, whereas the trees were abnormally huge. ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t we learn that the [God ruins] arepletely opposite to the current surroundings?¡± ¡°Yes. The insides of all the previous [God ruins] broken trees, skeletons of mutated beasts and monsters.¡± . . Soon, they noticed something was off about the current [God ruins] when they recalled their knowledge of the [God ruins]. As the name suggests, [God ruins] was a ruinednd; however, there would be many treasures lying around. ¡°Brother Leo, is something wrong?¡± Julia checked the surroundings with a curious look as she noticed a frown on Leo¡¯s face. So, she asked whether there was something wrong. ¡°This is not how a God ruins looks.¡± Leo looked around as he replied to Julia. ¡°Yeah. I also read about the [God ruins]. This [God ruins] lookspletely different from the [God ruins] from the past.¡± Julia agreed with Leo as she looked for someone in the crowd. ¡°Julia, I am here.¡± Ryan saw Julia searching for someone from a distance as he shamelessly called her and announced his location. ¡®Hmph¡¯ Julia looked at Ryan and harrumphed; however, she felt relieved. One or two unlucky ones will disappear when heroes pass through the door to who knows where. However, those who disappeared never came out of the [God ruins]. Even though such things were rare, she was still worried for Ryan and heaved a sigh of relief when he was safe and sound. ¡°There is nothing to worry about. There are countless [God ruins] in this world, and we humans are still exploring them.¡± Zander sensed the worry in the young heroes as he shared his thoughts with others. ¡°Since the city leader had already said that we can¡¯t die here. We should explore this new type of [God ruins] and bring back as much data as possible for the growth of the human race.¡± ¡°Young leader Zander is right!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just explore this [God ruins] and collect the treasures and data back.¡± Soon, the worried looks on everyone disappeared as they became excited once again. ¡°Haha¡­you guys are hrious.¡± Suddenly, everyone heard a burst ofughter in their heads. ¡°Who are you?¡± Everyone frowned as they asked the voice in their heads. ¡°I am sorry to say this, but if you die in this ce, you will forever be sleeping in here¡­Haha.¡± The voice didn¡¯t answer their question; instead, it corrected them about their thoughts on death in this ce. ¡°You are lying to scare us.¡± Everyone became anxious; however, Zander fully trusted his father as he replied to the voice in a bold tone. ¡°Also, this is not a [God ruins]; instead, it is a [Treausend] where death is real.¡± The voice didn¡¯t stop as it continued, ¡°As for the answer to your earlier question, I am the creator of this [Treasurend].¡± ¡®Treasurend?¡¯ When he heard those words, Leo¡¯s brightened with excitement. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 56 Hunting Begins in the [Treasure Land] ¡®Treasurend?¡¯ All participants raised their eyebrows as if they had never heard of it. ¡°What is a treasurend?¡± Nevertheless, Zander asked the voice who imed to be the creator of this treasurend in a calm tone. ¡°A [Treasurend] is and of treasures.¡± The voice resounded everywhere in the [Treasurend] as it exined, ¡°In short, [God ruins] are formed after a [Treasurend] is deteriorated.¡± ¡°Anyway, I wille to the main part. Unlike the [God ruins], you can¡¯t find a single treasure in thisnd because you have to buy them from me.¡± ¡°Buy?¡± Hearing the voice, everyone got confused as they didn¡¯t know how to buy or what items they could buy. ¡°There are thousands of monsters and mutated beasts in my [Treasurend]. You will get [Treasure points] by killing them depending on their strength.¡± ¡°By collecting some treasure points, you can unlock the ess to the [Treasure room] of my [Treasurend]. As long as you have enough treasure points, you can buy the items from the [Treause room].¡± ¡°As for the time limit, there is no time limit until the [Treasure room] bes empty.¡± From the beginning to the ending, the owner of the [Treasurend] didn¡¯t bother with young heroes¡¯ questions as he exined everything in a single go. ¡°Now, start the hunt and collect as many treasure points as possible. If you arete, someone else might buy them before you.¡± Sensing that the young heroes were still standing in their ces, the voice urged them to start the hunt. ¡°So, we have to hunt the monsters and the mutated beasts. Cool.¡± ¡°However, didn¡¯t he say that death is real in this ce?¡± ¡°Who cares? Without taking risks, you could not get anything.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡°Young heroes of the Ambermane family, let¡¯s not waste any time collecting the treasure points.¡± ¡°Icefeather family, stay together. We will kill the monsters and mutated beasts as a team.¡± Everyone was excited because, to him, hunting the monsters and mutated beasts was much easier than the tricky quests in the [God ruins]. Even though some worried about getting killed, they continued the hunt because they could not afford to get rich and powerful without taking any risks. ¡®Swoosh¡¯-. Soon, except for Leo and Julia, all the participants started the hunt. ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go. Others have already started their hunting.¡± Julia knew Leo was the strongest among all the participants; however, that doesn¡¯t mean they should waste time. If they use their strength correctly, they could buy many treasures from the [Treasure room]. ¡°There is no hurry.¡± However, Leo replied to Julia with a slight smile as he took out a rusty bronze coin. ¡°You will fulfill one of my requests, right?¡± ying with that rusty bronze coin, Leo spoke to the sky. ¡®Huh?¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Julia was confused; however, before she could ask about it, someone appeared in front of them. It was an old man with a long white beard with unique clothes and essories. Judging from his clothes and appearance, anyone could tell that they were not from this world. ¡°Y¡­you¡­.who are you?¡± Julia was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old man and hurriedly hid behind Leo before asking him. ¡°Haha¡­didn¡¯t you recognize my voice? I am the one who was exining all the things to you earlier.¡± The old man had a friendly smile as he replied with a light chuckle. ¡°You are the creator of this [Treasurend]?¡± Julia recognized the voice; however, she was still unsure about it. ¡°Julia, there is no need to be afraid of him.¡± Leo asked Julia not to be afraid of the old man as he continued, ¡°He is just a remnant spirit of the actual creator of the [Treausend].¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ Julia was surprised by Leo¡¯s exnation and intently stared at the old man. ¡°Are you going to shootsers out of your eyes or what?¡± The old man was annoyed with Julia¡¯s stare and rebuked her. ¡°So, you are the lucky one who got the coin.¡± Next, the old man looked at the coin in Leo¡¯s hands and nodded his head before informing Leo. ¡°Other than asking the treasures from the [Treasure room] or killing the other participants for you, you can ask anything you want.¡± ¡°Haha¡­I know that.¡± Leo was not surprised by the conditions of the [Treasurend] creator. ¡°I only have one request, and it is also within the reasonable conditions of this coin.¡± ¡°Go on. Let me hear your request.¡± Looking at the mysterious smile on Leo¡¯s face, the old man felt something was wrong with it. Nevertheless, ording to the rules, he had to fulfill that coin holder¡¯s reasonable condition. ¡®Just help me arrange a¡­.¡¯ Leo walked forward as he whispered in the old man¡¯s ear. ¡°That¡¯s it? And here I was expecting that you would ask for some treasure points.¡± After hearing Leo¡¯s request, the old man heaved a sigh of relief because it was the most straightforward request anyone could ever ask. ¡°So, are you going to fulfill my request?¡± Leo knew there wouldn¡¯t be any problem with his request. So, he asked with a slight smile on his face. ¡°Of course. It¡¯s just a small request.¡± The old man nodded his head, and the rusty bronze coin in Leo¡¯s hand disappeared. ¡°Also, the coin holder gets a 10 percent discount on all his purchases from the [Treasure room]; however, since you didn¡¯t ask for a big favour. I will throw in another five percent discount to it.¡± The old man generously acted as he gave a 15 percent discount for Leo before disappearing. ¡°Brother Leo, what did you request?¡± After the remnant spirit disappeared, Julia asked Leo with a curious look. ¡°It¡¯s a secret for now. Just wait for some time, and you will know.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to tell Julia as he wanted to give her a surprise. ¡°Ugh¡± Julia angrily looked at Leo for a moment before shaking her head. ¡°I will wait then.¡± She could only nod her head and suddenly thought of something in the end. ¡°By the way, where did you get that rusty bronze coin?¡± ¡°Where else? From yesterday¡¯s auction.¡± Leo replied with a slight smile as he continued, ¡°Amy¡¯s father was generous enough to give away such a precious item for free.¡± ¡°What? Is that the item he gave you in that gift box?¡± Julia was surprised. That¡¯s right! It was the item that Family head Oliver was unable to get appraised of and decided to gift it to Leo for buying four items among the first five items of his premium auction. However, Oliver didn¡¯t know that Leo had a system that was extremely good at appraising the items. ¡®Ding, Item name:- Rusty bronze coin. Use:- It can be used in exchange for one favour from the spirits guarding the [God ruins] and [Treasurends]. Note:- The favour should be reasonable and within a range where the spirits can fulfill it. This was the information that appeared in front of Leo when he opened the gift box. Since the [God ruins] would be opened soon, Leo knew it was the most important item anyone could hope for. ¡®Family head Oliver looks like I will make good use of it.¡¯ At the same time, yesterday, he promised Family head Oliver to make good use of that item, and he was, of course, making good use of it. ¡®I wonder what types of treasures and how many of them are lying inside the [Treasure room] waiting for me to collect.¡¯ Soon, Leo was lost in his thoughts as he dreamed about the treasures. ¡°Brother Leo, you are very lucky.¡± ¡°Am I?¡± Suddenly, Julia said a line that made Leo bitterly smile as he asked while cing a hand on his chest. ¡°Of course, Brother Leo. If you are not lucky, who did you get such a rare item for free? What¡¯s more, Sister Amy¡¯s father gave it away for free, which only happens in my dream.¡± Julia didn¡¯t have a good impression of Oliver as she noticed he would do anything for money. ¡°Anyway, Why don¡¯t youe and sit here?¡± Leo shook his head and asked Julia to sit. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to hunt?¡± Julia was confused as she asked Leo. ¡°No, there is no need to hunt.¡± Leo smiled as hey against a tree and closed his eyes. ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia was speechless; however, she knew Brother Leo was not the type to let others have all the treasures. ¡®Is he nning something?¡¯ ¡®What kind of favour he asked the old man?¡¯ ¡®Will be okay?¡¯ Julia had all kinds of questions as she walked toward Leo and sat beside him. ¡®I hope Brother Leo knew what he was doing.¡¯ This was the only thought in her head. As a healer, she could not kill a single rank 4 mutated beast or monster, not to mention that she didn¡¯t know how powerful the mutated beasts and monsters were in this [Treasurend]. ¡­. As Leo and Julia were resting under a huge tree, the other participants were racing to collect the points. Almost all of them formed groups before entering the [Treausend]. So, they started working together to kill as many monsters and the mutated beasts as possible. After five hours of continuous farming, one of the peak rank 6 heroes heard the remnant spirit¡¯s voice in his head. ¡®Finally¡­.yes, I want to enter.¡¯ The participant was excited and hurriedly nodded his head. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®My beloved treasures, I aming for you.¡¯ As soon as the participant nodded his head, he disappeared with an exciting look from his ce. ¡­ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, that participant appeared at the starting location of the [Treasurend] ¡®Why am I here? Where is the [Treasure room]?¡¯ The participant recognized the location; however, he didn¡¯t think much as he assumed the [Treasure room] might be somewhere around him. ¡°Huh? Two participants have already arrived here?¡± While checking for the [Treasure room], that participant found two participants under a huge tree. The two participants resting under the huge tree were none other than Leo and Julia. ¡°Well, well¡­looks like someone has already gathered enough treasure points.¡± Seeing that a participant had appeared, Leo revealed a slight smile as he walked toward him. ¡°Where is the [Treasure room]?¡± That participant asked with a frown as he felt something was not right. ¡°To enter the [Treasure room], you have to pass through me.¡± Loe answered the participant with a slight smile and said, ¡°Come at me with all your might; otherwise, you won¡¯t stand a chance against me.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 57 First Kill in the [Treasure Land] ¡®What?¡¯ Lexx was already annoyed with the fact that he was not teleported into the [Treasure room]. Moreover, someone was mocking him. ¡°Since I have to go through you to enter the [Treasure room], I will dly kill you.¡± Nevertheless, Lexx wanted to show Leo the consequences of mocking him. Even though he didn¡¯t know why he was not teleported to the [Treasure room], he wanted to defeat Leo first before thinking about it. ¡°Sigh¡­there are still some hot-blooded young heroes left in this world who get easily offended by a few words.¡± Leo sighed and thought, looking at the iing Lexx. ¡®Poison darts¡¯ Hearing those words, Lexx became even more furious as he used his talent without wasting any time. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Hundreds of ck-coloured poisonous darts came out of Lexx¡¯s body, and each of them was aimed at Leo. ¡®Earth wall¡¯ Using his [Earth maniption] talent, Leo created a mud wall in front of him, blocking all the darts. ¡°You have a good talent; however, too bad, you are so arrogant with your words.¡± Lexx scoffed at Leo and produced two long poison darts from his body before holding them in his hands. Those two poison darts were long enough to be called spears which Lexx threw at the mud wall.-. ¡®Rumble¡¯ One of the poison spears pierced through the mud wall and destroyed it, whereas the other was aimed at Leo¡¯s heart. ¡®It is impossible for him to dodge the second spear.¡¯ Lexx was confident in his spears as there was not enough time for Leo to dodge. ¡®Even if he dodges the spear, the spear will kill the girl behind him.¡¯ Thinking about it, Lexx could not help but reveal an evil smile. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo casually took a step aside to dodge the iing spear. ¡®What the¡­is he sacrificing the girl?¡¯ Lexx was surprised by Leo¡¯s actions. However, he didn¡¯t think much because he could kill Leo without any distractions once the girl died. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Nevertheless, he saw Leo hold his poison spear and disappear the next second. ¡®What? Where did he go?¡¯ Lexx was shocked because it was the first time someone was able to touch his poison spear. Moreover, his enemy disappeared into thin air, making Lexx extremely anxious. ¡°Are you looking for me?¡± In the next second, Lexx heard Leo¡¯s voice behind him. ¡®What?¡¯ Lexx hurriedly turned back, and he was ready to rerelease hundreds of poison darts at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, before he could use them, the poison spear that Leo caught earlier was already inside his heart. ¡°Is this how you kill your enemies?¡± After piercing the poison spear into Lexx¡¯s heart, Leo asked him whether he had done it correctly. ¡°You¡­you are not an elite hero. You are an Advanced hero.¡± ¡®Thud¡¯ Just as he finished his words, Lexx fell to the ground with a shocked look on his face. Lexx thought he was one of the strongest participants in the [Treasurend] because he was only an inch away from bing an advanced hero. However, there was already an Advanced hero in the [Treasurend], and to his bad luck, he had encountered him, only to get killed by him. Instead of the regr system notification, Leo heard the remnant spirit¡¯s voice in his head. ¡®As expected, the points will be transferred to me.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and looked at Lexx¡¯s corpse on the ground. ¡®But, why didn¡¯t the system ask me whether I want to extract the talent or not?¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Lexx¡¯s body turned into tiny light particles before disappearing into thin air. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo thought of something and frowned, ¡®Damn it¡­now, everyone will know that I have three talents.¡¯ Leo believed the remnant spirit¡¯s words regarding the death in the [Treasurend]. Because of that, Leo didn¡¯t bother to hide his talents and used them. However, after killing Lexx, he understood that the old man fooled every one in the [Treasurend]. ¡®Looks like the city leader was right. If we die in thisnd, we will be teleported out of the [Treasurend].¡¯ Leo shook his head for being careless and using his [Earth Maniption] talent in front of Lexx. ¡®Never mind, there is no use thinking about it now.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about it; instead, he wanted to use this opportunity. ¡°Brother Leo.¡± On the other hand, Julia was still in confusion regarding the sudden appearance of Lexx, and seeing that Leo killed him, she was shocked. ¡®It was him who was aiming to kill Brother Leo.¡¯ Julia didn¡¯t want to believe that Leo killed Lexx without reason. So, she unconsciously came to that conclusion. ¡°Weren¡¯t curious about what favour I asked from that remnant spirit?¡± Leo walked toward Julia; he asked with a calm look. ¡°Everyone who wants to enter the [Treasure room] should fight me. Only if they win against me can they enter the [Treasure room].¡± Seeing that Julia was still confused, Leo exined the favour he had asked from the old man. ¡°And how is it going to benefit you?¡± Julia nodded her head in understanding as she asked about Leo¡¯s benefit. ¡°What else? If I kill them, I will get all their treasure points.¡± Leo¡¯s calm reply made Julia unconsciously take a step back. She already knew how strong Leo was. Not even a rank 8 monster king could not stand a chance against him, not to mention the young rank 5 and rank 6 heroes. ¡®Is he going to kill every one of them?¡¯ Even though she didn¡¯t want to believe it, Leo¡¯s words made her conclude. ¡°However, if they are willing to give away their treasure points, I don¡¯t have to kill them.¡± Leo shrugged his hands as he said he didn¡¯t have to kill anyone as long as the other party was willing to give away their treasure points. ¡°Nevertheless, it is impossible to happen as these young heroes value the treasures more than their lives.¡± Leo knew about human nature very well. So, he didn¡¯t hide his intention to kill his opponents in the process. ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia remained silent before asking, ¡°Brother Leo, you should give them a chance before killing them. Can you do it?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Leo didn¡¯t think much as he instantly agreed to Julia¡¯s words. ¡°Thank you. I will try to persuade them.¡± Julia decided to persuade Leo¡¯s opponents into giving up their treasure points. Nodding his head, Leo walked back to the tree and went back to sleep. ¡®I wonder how many treasure points I received from him.¡¯ After closing his eyes, Leo thought about the treasure points he received from Lexx. The next second, the old man¡¯s voice resounded in his head. ¡®Oh. Not bad.¡¯ Leo nodded his head as he was satisfied with the treasure points he got in less than a minute. As he was satisfied with the treasure points he had, Leo once again heard the old man¡¯s voice, asking him whether he wanted to enter the [Treasure room]. ¡®Of course.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 58 Entering the [Treasure room] ¡®Of course.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to nod his head and disappeared from his ce and entered an empty room. As soon as he appeared in the empty room, the old man appeared in front of him as he weed Leo. Since it was his first time entering a [Treasure Land], he didn¡¯t know much about how the [Treasure room] works. Moreover, there were no treasures in the room, making Leo ask the old man. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, a huge mirror appeared in front of Leo with five options on it. [Bronze] [Silver] [Gold] [tinum] [Diamond] Except for the [Bronze], the remaining four sections were grey, meaning they were currently unavable for him. The remnant spirit gave a piece of brief information about how to ess the other sections and asked Leo to start buying from [Bronze].-. ¡®Hm¡¯ Leo nodded his head in understanding. However, he didn¡¯t open the [Bronze] section; instead, he asked the old man, ¡°What is the minimum number of treasure points I need to ess the other sections.¡± It was evident that the higher sections have more valuable items than the lowest section. So, he was about the minimum treasure points to ess the other sections. The old man partially answered Leo¡¯s question as he didn¡¯t inform him about the minimum points to assess the [Gold] and above sections. ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter. The items will be going nowhere.¡¯ Leo shook his head and didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡®Let¡¯s see what items are stored in the [Bronze] section of the [Treasure room].¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo opened the [Bronze section]. ¡­.. [Bronze] grade items of the [Treasure room], 1) Rank 9 sword x 1 (10,000 treasure points). 2) Rank 9 spear x 1 (10,000 treasure points). . . . . 7) Basic talent upgrading stone x 10 (50,000 treasure points). 8) Elite talent upgrading stone x 1 (20,000 treasure points). 9) Talent awakening stone x 1 (20,000 treasure points). 10) Special talent awakening stone x 1 (100,000 treasure points). ¡­.. Soon, a list of ten items and the quantity and prices appeared on the huge mirror. The first six items were all rank 9 weapons like sword, spear, battle-axe, de, dagger, and a pair of short swords. As for the remaining four items, they were all stones rted to talent awakening or upgrading stones. ¡®When did rank 9 weapons be so cheappared to the upgrading stones and awakening stones?¡¯ Looking at the prices of the rank 9 weapons, Leo felt they were very cheap. Even though talent awakening and upgrading stones were rare, the rank 9 weapons were also scarce. Because in each city, there were less than five rank 9 weaponsmiths. Moreover, the sess rate of refining a rank 9 weapons or artifacts were shallow, and it would take months to refine a single rank 9 weapon or artifact. So, they were just as rare as the talent upgrading stones and the talent awakening stones. ¡®Is there any basic information about these weapons?¡¯ Other than that, the value of the weapons and artifacts increases with the effects and skills they have. So, Leo wanted to see whether he could find any information on the weapons before purchasing them. ¡®Of course, my first preference will be buying all the talent awakening stones and the talent upgrading stones.¡¯ Since he didn¡¯t have to worry about others entering the [Treasure room] to buy the items, Leo was not in a hurry to purchase anything. ¡­. Weapon name:- War God¡¯s spear. Weapon grade:- Rank 9 Effect:- Increases the thrusting force by 1000 percent. Skill:- [Absoutle thrust] Skill description:- No one below the supreme rank can block the spear. Note:- Even the supreme rank beings have to be careful not to get injured by it. Weapon information:- It is one of the weapons refined by the War God Odren before he got the title ¡®War God¡¯. ¡­. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Looking at the rank 9 spear information, Leo frowned and asked, ¡®Why does it only have one skill and one effect?¡¯ Generally, even the worst rank 9 weapons have two weapon skills and multiple effects. So, when he saw the ¡®War God¡¯s spear¡¯ had only one skill and effect, he understood why its price was lower. ¡®However, the single skill and single effect are so powerful.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo felt they were not bad; they were much better than the rank 9 weapons with multiple skills and effects. ¡®Basically, killing anyone below Supreme rank is easy with this weapon.¡¯ Even though his first impression of the weapon was not good, it became better after reading its information. ¡®What about the other weapons? Are they also the same?¡¯ Soon, Leo started checking the information on the other weapons. ¡­. Weapon name:- War God¡¯s sword. Weapon grade:- Rank 9 Effect:- Increases the shing power by 1000 percent. Skill:- [Absoutle sh] Skill description:- No one below the supreme rank can block the attack. Note:- Even the supreme rank beings have to be careful not to get injured by it. Weapon information:- It is one of the weapons refined by the War God Odren before he got the title ¡®War God¡¯. ¡­ Soon, the mirror showed the information of all the items. ¡®So, all the rank 9 weapons were refined by the War God Odren before he became famous.¡¯ The single skill and single effect that looked almost simr along with the weapon information shows that Leo understood the War God Odren refined all the weapons. ¡®Looks like this old man is the War God.¡¯ Looking at the old remnant spirit, Leo silently thought in his head. There were only a few records of the otherworldly beings who saved humanity from the monsters and the mutated beasts. However, almost all of them have the title with the word ¡®God-like [War God], [God of Raging Fire], [God of Calming Water], [God of Tolerant Earth], and so on. Since the [Treasue room] had the weapons refined by the [War God] from his early stages, Leo concluded that the [Treasurend] belongs to [War God]. ¡®Who cares about it now? They have already left the world.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about the otherworldly beings and focused on the other items on the list. ¡®I need basic talent upgrading stones and the Talent awakening stone, and I didn¡¯t expect that I would find them so soon.¡¯ Even though he was expecting to find them after entering the [Treasure Land] mistaken for [God ruins], he was surprised that he had already seen them. Basic talent upgrading stones can be used to upgrade the talent by one level in the Basic ss, from level 1 to 3. Since Lep extracted a talent from Clemens, the squad leader of the ¡®Hidden Assassins¡¯ mercenary squad, it was still at level 0. Moreover, he would be extracting a new talent soon. So, he could use the Basic talent upgrading stones to upgrade them quickly. ¡®I can give the talent awakening stone to Evan to awaken his partial awakened talent; however, it is my first time seeing thisst item.¡¯ Leo focused on thest item to check its information. ¡®What?¡¯ However, he was shocked when he saw the information as he didn¡¯t hesitate to buy it immediately. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 59 Special Talent Awakening Stone ¡®There is such an item in this world?¡¯ This was the first thought in Leo¡¯s head as he didn¡¯t hesitate to buy it. ¡­. Item name:- Special talent awakening stone Item grade:- Supreme. Use:- By consuming this stone, the consumer will awaken a special talent called [Talent Promoter]. [Talent Promoter]:- A special talent that promotes the growth of the Hero¡¯s other talents using a unique method. ¡­. ¡®Who would not want to use such a powerful item?¡¯ Leo silently thought, ¡®Moreover, it is a tailor-made item for me.¡¯ Unlike other heroes who rarely have three talents in their lifetime, Leo already has five talents. Furthermore, Leo will be swallowing more and more talents in the future. So, of course, it was the most useful talent for him than anyone else. Soon, the old remnant spirit¡¯s voice resounded in the empty room. ¡°Yes.¡± <85000 treasure points are deducted from the participant>-. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo¡¯s one hundred thousand treasure points decreased to fifteen thousand, and at the same time, a purple coloured stone was tossed out of the mirror. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Leo caught it and tossed it into his mouth without any hesitation. ¡®Ding, The host consumed a special talent awakening stone. The host is awakening a special talent. ¡®Ding, Estimated awakening time:- Five minutes. Soon, Leo received two system notifications. ¡®Five minutes. I will wait.¡¯ There was a slight pain in Leo¡¯s chest; however, he was already used to it because of his regr talent for swallowing. ¡®I wonder what unique method it will use to upgrade my talents.¡¯ Leo was looking forward to his new special talent. ¡®I still have 15000 treasure points. I can¡¯t buy anything other than one of these six rank 9 weapons.¡¯ Leo checked the prices of all the items; however, he didn¡¯t have much interest in the weapons as he already had his ¡®Arcane silver¡¯. ¡®Wait for a second¡­since no weapons and artifacts will not work in the [Treasurend], what about the items from the [Treasurend]?¡¯ Leo became curious and wanted to check it out. ¡®Since I will buy all these items sooner orter, I might as well buy a rank 9 weapon and test it.¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t have much interest in these rank 9 weapons, he would not leave them in the [Treasure room]. Leo could always sell them or exchange them for other items he needed in the outside world. ¡®I will buy a rank 9 War God¡¯s sword.¡¯ Leo was good at using swords. So, he chose to buy the sword because if there was no restriction on using it in the [Treasurend], he could temporarily y with it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, a shining sword came out of the mirror and fell into Leo¡¯s hands. ¡®Nice sword¡¯ Leo shed it a few times and nodded in satisfaction. ¡®Since I don¡¯t have many treasure points, I will go back for now ande backter.¡¯ He felt he had been in the [Treasure room] for quite a while and decided to go back to umte more treasure points. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, he disappeared from the [Treasure room]. ¡­.. ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t we supposed to enter the [Treasure room]?¡± At the starting location of the [Treasurend], three young men checked their surroundings with confused looks. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the ce we first appeared after passing through the entrance?¡± ¡°Yes. Maybe the [Treasure room] is somewhere close here. Let¡¯s find it.¡± The three young men started checking for the [Treasure room] just like Lexx. Soon, one of the young men saw Julia hiding behind a tree using his talent. ¡°Hey, are you looking for the [Treasure room]? ¡°Also, why are you hiding after seeing us?¡± The other two young men also saw Juliaing out of her hiding ce as they asked in a calm tone. ¡°I..its..just¡­.¡± Julia stuttered in her words. ¡°Anyway, if you want to live, transfer all your treasure points to me.¡± The leader of the trio could sense that Julia was not at all strong and already scared. So, he decided to take her treasure points. ¡®Since the other party seemed like she was also searching for the [Treasuure room], she must have many treasure points, right?¡¯ This was the thought in his head, and he also thought, ¡®If she could collect that many treasure points, she must have some trump cards. We need to be careful.¡¯ ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t have any.¡± However, Julia didn¡¯t have a single treasure point. ¡°What? Stop lying.¡± The leader of the trio frowned as he raised his voice against Julia. ¡°Boss, stop wasting time with her and just kill her.¡± ¡°Yes, boss, We will get all her treasure points by killing her.¡± The other two young men seemed to know that killing others would transfer the treasure points. So, they asked their leader to kill her. ¡°I don¡¯t have any treasure points. Believe me.¡± Julia shook her head. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to give it, I can take it using force then.¡± The leader didn¡¯t believe Julia¡¯s words. So, he decided to kill her because Julia¡¯s treasure points would be transferred to him. ¡°How do you know that killing others would transfer the treasure points to you?¡± Suddenly, Julia became fearless, as though she had turned into a different person. ¡°Huh?¡± The trio frowned at Julia¡¯s sudden change; however, they still replied with a loudugh, ¡°Because we earned all our treasure points from hunting the other participants¡­Haha.¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ Julia remained silent before saying, ¡°Brother, you can kill them.¡± After finishing her words, Julia hurriedly turned around as though she didn¡¯t want to see the killing. ¡°What?¡± The trio sensed something was not right as they hurriedly turned around to see a young man holding a sword. ¡°Oh. So, it¡¯s Brother Leo.¡± ¡°And here I thought it was someone else.¡± ¡°Brother Leo, we didn¡¯t know she was with you. We are sorry.¡± However, the trio was not afraid of Leo; instead, they even took the initiative to apologize to Leo, making Julia surprised. ¡°Do you know me?¡± Julia and even Leo were also surprised as he asked the trio with a confused look. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 60 Old Remnant Spirits Plan ¡®Who are they?¡¯ ¡®How do they know me?¡¯ ¡®The most important question is, how much do they know about me?¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first time seeing the three young men in front of him. Moreover, he was meticulous in using his talents in the outside world. Except for his trusted friends, no one knows about his talents. So, when someone said they knew about him, Leo wondered how much they knew about it because it would affect his ns in Phirie city. ¡°Of course, we know you, Brother Leo.¡± One of the young men nodded his head. ¡°We were ordered by Mr. White just like you, Brother Leo.¡± Soon, the leader walked forward and said, ¡°He specially ordered that we should not fight among ourselves.¡± ¡®Oh.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo realized how they knew about it and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°So, you are working for Mr. White.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo nodded as he disappeared from his ce and appeared between the two young men behind the leader. ¡°However, I am not working for him.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Leo swung his sword and shed off the heads of the two young men. Those two young men didn¡¯t even have the time to dodge that rank 9 War God¡¯s sword as their heads flew into the distance.-. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Thest young man, the leader of the trio, became shocked when he saw Leo kill his two brothers. ¡°Can¡¯t you see? I already killed your brothers.¡± Leo scoffed at him. The old remnant spirit¡¯s voice resounded in Leo¡¯s head, informing him about his gains. ¡®I can buy the remaining items from the [Bronze] section with these treasure points.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he said, ¡°This sword is not bad, right? I just bought it from the [Treasure room].¡± Since Leo knew that killing the participants in the [Treasurend] would not kill them, he intentionally revealed the rank 9 sword in his head. ¡°No wonder you can use it in the [Treasurend].¡± From the side, Julia¡¯s doubt regarding the sword cleared. ording to the rules, the weapons or artifacts from the outside world would be temporarily sealed and could not be used inside the [Treasurend]. So, Julia and the young man were shocked to sense the powerful aura released by the sword in Leo¡¯s hand. ¡°Even if Mr. White punishes me, I will kill you today.¡± The leader of the trio came out of the shock and rushed toward Leo. ¡®Cru¡­kacha¡¯ The leader¡¯s body started transforming into a different being along the way. He grew to his original size with two small horns pointing forward on either side of his head. ¡°Devil transformation. Not a bad talent, but in front of a rank 9 sword, everything is useless.¡± Even without using the system, Leo could tell the talent used by the leader of the trio. However, he didn¡¯t have any thoughts about dodging the iing devil. ¡°What? A rank 9 sword?¡± However, the leader of the trio was shocked by Leo¡¯s words as he tried his best to stop in his tracks. Because in front of a rank 9 sword, a peak elite hero like him could not stand a chance. So, he decided to forget about the revenge and run away from Leo. ¡°Haha¡­too bad. You can¡¯t escape from me.¡± The devil heard Leo¡¯s voice beside his ears in the next second as the rank 9 sword was pierced into his heart. ¡°Mr. White will take revenge for me.¡± Soon, the leader reverted into his original form as he left those words for Leo before turning into tiny light dots. ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡± Leo was not worried about Mr. White¡¯s revenge because he knew the ¡®ck suits¡¯ leaders were not the type to take revenge for small fry. Soon, he heard the remnant¡¯s spirit voice in his head. ¡®320000 treasure points in a single go. Not bad.¡¯ Leo nodded his head as he walked toward Julia. ¡°Brother Leo, are you working for Mr.White?¡± On the auction day, Julia learned about the existence of Mr. White. So, she asked whether Leo was working for him. ¡°I won¡¯t work for others.¡± Leo shook his head as he continued, ¡°He suggested a deal, and I agreed.¡± ¡°Woah¡­what kind of deal.¡± Julia only knew that Mr. White was the wealthiest business in Phirie city. So, she asked about the deal. ¡°Keep this sword with you, and if someone tries to attack you when I enter the [Treasure room], you can use it to protect yourself.¡± Leo didn¡¯t talk about the deal; instead, he diverted the topic as he gave the rank 9 sword to her. Even though one needs to have good training to bring out the true potential of a sword, Leo was not worried much about it. Because even if Julia casually swings the sword, she could kill a rank 7 hero without any problem. That¡¯s how mighty a rank 9 sword was. ¡°But I¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Just don¡¯t announce that it is a rank 9 weapon to your enemies.¡± Leo didn¡¯t let Julia finish her words as he continued, ¡°I will go and shop a little.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo entered the [Treasure room] and bought the remaining items from the [Bronze] section. Unlike before, Leo didn¡¯t waste much time in the [Treasure room] as he left after taking all the items from the [Bronze] section. ¡®Did I make a mistake by fulfilling his request?¡¯ After Leo left the [Treasure room], the old remnant spirit silently thought. Initially, the main objective of this [Treasure room] was to make the six participants buy the six rank 9 weapons from the [Bronze] section and either make them fight one another or fight as a team to kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts in the [Treasurend]. However, with his simple request, Leo messed up the entire objective of his [Treasurend]. ¡®Moreover, because of his status as the ¡®Coin holder¡¯, there are no restrictions for him in buying all six items.¡¯ The old remnant spirit had restricted that a participant could only buy one rank 9 weapon; however, he forgot about Leo¡¯s special status. ¡®I thought he was just itching to challenge the other participants. It looks like at this rate, he will take away all the items from the [Treasure room].¡¯ The old remnant spirit¡¯s expression became serious as he started thinking about how to correct his mistake. ¡®Since I already promised him that I will direct everyone trying to enter the [Treasue room] to him, I can¡¯t take it back; however, I can use my authority to y with him.¡¯ The old remnant spirit revealed an evil smile. ¡­. As soon as Leo appeared under his resting tree, he heard the old remnant spirit¡¯s voice. Unlike the starting notifications, thest two notifications were resounded throughout [Treasurend]. ¡®What? Sealed my rank 9 weapons? Shuffling the participants?¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he could sense something was fishy about the sudden changes in the [Treasuend]. ¡®Wait a second¡­is it because of me?¡¯ He felt the changes were made exclusively for him. ¡°Julia, give me your hand.¡± Nevertheless, he held Julia¡¯s hand in case they were teleported to different ces. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just after those notifications from the old remnant spirit, Leo saw the participants from the Cloudriver family appear in the distance. More than 20 participants in that group held hands with one another along with the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ trio. ¡°Hey, look at that guy; he has more than 200000 treasure points.¡± Soon, someone from the group pointed at Leo with an excited look before rushing toward Leo and Julia, and a few more participants. ¡®Is it the old spirit¡¯s way of bncing things?¡¯ Leo finally understood something as he revealed a slight smile and looked at the iing group of participants. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 61 Free Floating Treasure Points ¡®Looks like the old man is pretty serious in taking me out of this [Treasurend].¡¯ How could Leo not notice what¡¯s happening around him right now? Not only the old remnant spirit sealed all the rank 9 weapons in his possession, but he even added two new rules. Moreover, those two rules were pretty much for Leo. Currently, Leo has so many treasure points in the [Treasurend]. So, if the treasure points were shown in his head, it would make others go after him. As for the second rule, the old remnant spirit could randomly send a group of participants to him, and as long as they see his points, they could try to kill him without much effort from the old spirit. ¡®Good. You are excellent; however, it is not enough to kick me out of this [Treasurend] before I take all the items from your [Treasure room].¡¯ Leo stood up from the ce and whispered to Julia, ¡®Stand behind a tree.¡¯ ¡®Hm¡¯ Nodding her head, Julia followed Leo¡¯s words. ¡°Isn¡¯t this our young master from the Cloudriver family?¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother about the iing participants as he focused on Dario and the trio of the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ standing beside him. Above Dario¡¯s head, there were nearly 100000 treasure points, whereas the trio had around 80000 treasure points each. As for the other group members, they each had 20000-30000 treasure points. If they pooled all the treasure points, they would nearly have enough to ess the [Silver] section of the [Teasure room]. ¡®Looks like they are going for the big item.¡¯ It was clear that they were trying to gather as many treasure points as possible before entering the [Treasure room] to buy the highest grade item.-. ¡°Be careful; he has a Combustion talent.¡± Dario didn¡¯t expect Leo to have so many treasure points, and he was very sure about how he got that many. Moreover, he had already read the information about Leo on the auction day. So, he hurriedly warned his family participants about Leo¡¯sbustion talent. ¡°Too bad you arete.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared in the center of the iing participants and said, ¡°Boom.¡± ¡®Boom¡¯ In the next second, raging mes came out of Leo¡¯s body with full force as they swallowed all the participants around him. ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ More than 15 notifications in the old remnant voice appeared in his head as usual. At the same time, he gained ess to a new section, making Leo reveal a slight smile. ¡®Old man, by adding new rules, you are just helping me make more treasure points.¡¯ Leo silently thanked the old man; however, he knew that the old man could not hear his thoughts. ¡®Nevertheless, I might as well make a few more treasure points before entering the [Silver] section.¡¯ Looking at Dario and the trio of the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯, Leo decided to kill them before entering the [Treasure room]. ¡°Damn you¡­B*stard.¡± When he saw his family¡¯s genius turned into nothingness, Dario became furious and cursed Leo. Even though his men rushed at Leo to kill him, Dario could not help and get furious to see the death of his subordinates. ¡°Young master Dario, don¡¯t worry. I will soon send you to them.¡± With an evil smile, Leo slowly walked toward Dario. ¡°What are you waiting for? Go and kill him?¡± No matter how furious Dario was, he still knew that Leo was not someone he could defeat. So, he ordered the mercenary squad hired by their family to kill him. However, the trio didn¡¯t move from their ces as they silently looked at Leo. ¡®Damn it¡­these fools might mess up my ns.¡¯ Just as Leo heard Dario¡¯s orders to the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ squad, the smile on his face froze. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ He used his ¡®Teleportation¡¯ talent to get behind Dario without wasting any time. ¡°Sorry, young master Dario, I don¡¯t have time to y with you as I have to enter the [Treasure room] to buy some stuff.¡± ¡®Kacha¡¯ Before Dario could realize what was happening, Leo snapped his neck. ¡®Thud¡¯ Dario didn¡¯t even have a chance to use his talent against Leo from beginning to end. Leo received another 98000 treasure points from Dario, increasing his total treasure points to 630000. ¡°Master.¡± Once Dario¡¯s body disappeared from the [Treasurend], the trio of the [Ethereal des] made a knight salute and greeted Leo with faces full of respect. That¡¯s right! The members of the famous young mercenary squad called Leo ¡®Master¡¯. If Dario saw this scene, he would have been shocked to the core because the three members of the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ mercenary squad are all rank 7 heroes. ¡°I said call me Brother or Leo. Why don¡¯t you guys change? Anyway, stand up.¡± Leo shook his head as he nced at Julia in the distance, hiding behind the tree. ¡°How could we dare call you by your name, Master?¡± The trio said in unison making, making Leo shake his head. ¡°If you die in this [Treasurend], you will be teleported to the outside. I was worried that you might show your connection with me. So, I killed him.¡± Leo exined about the [Treasurend] and why he killed Dario in such a hurry. ¡°What?¡± They were shocked by Leo¡¯s words, and when they thought about the intention to kill Dairo, they were scared a little. ¡°Anyway, since you didn¡¯t attack him, you don¡¯t have to worry about your mission.¡± Leo asked them to continue their mission and said, ¡°In order to not make him suspicious, I am going to kill you and send you out of the [Treasurend]. Just say that you fought me and got killed by me instead.¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± The trio nodded their heads with severe looks as though they didn¡¯t have any problem in dying inside the [Treasurend] for their master. ¡°Kelly, you have awakened a new talent since west met.¡± Leo looked at the only female in the group and threw a Green-coloured stone at her. ¡°Use it to upgrade your talent to level 3 after going back.¡± Leo kept an eye on Julia as he didn¡¯t want her to know his rtionship with the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ mercenary squad. ¡°Thank you, master.¡± Kelly thanked Leo as she stored the basic talent upgrade stone in her storage ring. ¡°So, I will kill you now.¡± Since Leo knew that the old remnant spirit would send more and more participants to his location, he wanted to send the trio out of the [Treasurend]. ¡°There is no need for the master to kill us.¡± However, the trio pierced their des into their hearts before Leo could kill them. ¡®Sigh¡­they don¡¯t even make me do simple things.¡¯ Leo sighed as he looked at the disappearing bodies of his subordinates. ¡®Huh? Free-floating treasure points?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see that he could still receive the treasure points even if he didn¡¯t kill them. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s special talent ¡®Talent Promoter¡¯ has been sessfully awakened. Just as Leo was about to walk toward Julia, he received a system notification which excited him. ¡®Let¡¯s check how it promotes my other talents.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 62 New Talent ¡®What the¡­.¡¯ ¡®How did he kill them all in such a short span?¡¯ ¡®He even has the third talent?¡¯ ¡®Also, is his cultivation truly rank 5?¡¯ The old remnant spirit observing Leo for the entire time was shocked to see Leo disying the third talent to st more than 15 participants. Previously, he saw Leo use [Earth maniption] to create a mud wall in a fight against Lexx. At the same time, Leo also used [Teleportation] talent and the old remnant spirit that Leo was a little bit lucky to have two rare talents. However, earlier, when he saw Leo use [Combustion], he was shocked. From the old man¡¯s perspective, having three talents was not rare because he had seen a lot of people with three talents in his life; however, having three rare and powerful talents was not something he had seen. ¡®Why do these three powerful rank 7 young heroes call him ¡®Master¡¯?¡¯ Suddenly, he saw the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ trio call Leo ¡®Master¡¯ with a respectful tone, making his jaw drop. ¡®H-how did he know that death is not real in the [Treasurend]?¡¯ Soon, he heard Leo exining the ¡®Death¡¯ in the [Treasurend] and was shocked. ¡®Who is he exactly?¡¯ The old remnant spirit became curious about Leo¡¯s identity when looking at Leo. ¡®Whatever, I don¡¯t care who he is. I need to stop him from taking all the treasures from the [Treasure room].¡¯ Even though he was curious about Leo¡¯s identity, the order left by his original body was much more important to him.-. Because the old remnant spirit was careless and promised an unreasonable request, he had to make it right. ¡®However, those same orders stop me from sending him out of the [Treasurend], and I have to do everything by rules.¡¯ Whether it was a [God ruins] or a [Treasurend], the remnant spirits in them should follow the rules. Even though they were invincible inside their domains, they could not kick someone out of their territory. ¡®Since I can¡¯t do anything to him directly, I can only bring the extreme levels a little early.¡¯ Once again, the old remnant spirit revealed an evil smile that didn¡¯t befit the spirit. ¡­. Outside the [Treasurend], ¡°Leo¡­you will not believe what you see aftering out of the [Treasurend]. I am going to take my revenge on you.¡± Dario was pleasantly surprised to see he was not dead; instead, he was just teleported out of the [Treasurend]. His first thought aftering out was to take revenge on Leo. ¡°Those useless mercenaries, they did nothing and watched me get killed.¡± At the same time, he cursed the ¡®Ethereal de¡¯ trio. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, in the next second, he saw a trio appear in front of him out of thin air. ¡°Are we still alive?¡± ¡°Good¡­once hees out, we can take good care of him.¡± The trio acted surprised and thought of taking revenge on Leo without looking at Dario intentionally. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Dario frowned; however, soon, he revealed a smile and asked, ¡°Are you talking about Leo?¡± ¡­. Inside the [Treasurend], As for Leo, he didn¡¯t know that the old remnant spirit was cooking for some devious schemes to kick him out of the [Treasurend]. Currently, he was excited to awaken his new special talent. ¡®Let¡¯s check how it promotes my other talents.¡¯ Even though the mirror said that it would help upgrade his other talents, it didn¡¯t say the exact method. Instead, it only mentioned the talent would use a ¡®Unique Method¡¯. So, Leo was curious about the ¡®Unique Method¡¯. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Talent Promoter (Level 1). Talent Grade:- Special. Effect:- Whenever the host kills a monster or mutated beast or a human, this talent collects ¡®Promote points¡¯, which can be used to upgrade the host¡¯s other talents. Note:- At the current level, the host can only upgrade the Basic ss talents from level 1 to level 3. Current promote points:- 0. Talents promoted:- 0/1. Note:- At the current level, it can only promote one talent. ¡®Oh. So, I need to kill to upgrade my other talents? However, I can only upgrade Basic ss talents for now and only one talent at that.¡¯ Leo felt killing was not the problem as he could live his entire life killing either humans or monsters or mutated beasts. However, the limitations of the talent were a little heavy. ¡®It¡¯s expected for the special talents to have such limitations at low levels.¡¯ Leo was not disappointed with his new talent; instead, he was looking forward to seeing high-level talent in the future where there should be no limitations. ¡®I need to upgrade this talent.¡¯ It wasmon knowledge that the higher the level of the talent, the better the effects would be. Moreover, he bought the ¡®Basic talent upgrading stones¡¯ from the [Treasure room]. So, he decided to upgrade it to see how the effects of the talent would change. ¡®Ding, The basic talent upgrading stones can¡¯t upgrade the special talents like ¡®Talent Promoter¡¯. Just as Leo nned to swallow the basic talent upgrading stone, he received a system notification that stopped his actions. ¡®Huh?¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first time hearing an upgrade stone doesn¡¯t work on talent; however, he understood when he thought about the talent grade. ¡®I have to promote one talent to increase its experience. I should go and kill some monsters and mutated beasts.¡¯ Since the participants would be teleported out of the [Treasurend], Leo guessed he would not get any ¡®Promote points¡¯. So, he decided to move his muscles a little and see how his new talent worked. ¡°Brother Leo, you killed them all?¡± Julia slowly looked out behind the tree and saw Leo was alone. So, she hurriedly rushed towards him and asked him. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded his head and silently thought, ¡®This girl might be thinking I am a cold-hearted monster after seeing me kill so many participants today.¡¯ ¡®However, I can¡¯t tell her that the death is not real in the [Treasurend] as I n to do something.¡¯ Earlier, when he realized that fact after killing Lexx, Loe started thinking of using it to his advantage and found a few things. Among those things, there were a couple of things rted to Julia. So, he wanted to let her remain in the dark. ¡°Sigh¡­I thought I could convince them; however, they tried to kill you when they saw your treasure points.¡± Julia shook her head, and she knew the participants would not listen to her words anymore. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just human greed.¡± Looking at ¡®0¡¯ on Julia¡¯s head, Leo shook his head. ¡°I have enough treasure points to enter the [Treasure room]. I will go and spend everything. At least, then I will be low-key.¡± Even though Leo would be killing whoeveres at him, the high number of treasure points above his head would attract all the participants, including those who don¡¯t have many treasure points. So, Leo decided to enter the [Treasure room] as he had already gained ess to the [Silver] section. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, Brother Leo. Looking at this, no one woulde near me.¡± Pointing at ¡®0¡¯ above her head, Julia smiled. ¡°Haha¡­true.¡± That was also why Leo was not worried about leaving Julia alone. ¡®I wonder what items are waiting inside the [Silver] section.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a thought, Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared in the empty room. ¡®Click¡¯ Without wasting any time, he selected the [Silver] section. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, items appeared in the mirror, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®Looks like my talents will undergo some changes.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 63 [Bonus chapter] Eating Innate Fire Elemental Fruit In the [Treasure room], ¡®Looks like my talents will undergo some changes.¡¯ Leo looked at the items in the mirror and silently thought in his head with a satisfied smile. Unlike the [Bronze] section, the [Silver] section only has five items which shows that the items in the [Silver] section were rare and valuablepared to the items from the [Bronze] section ¡­.. 1) Innate fire elemental fruit x 1 (100000 treasure points). 2) Innate water elemental fruit x 1 (100000 treasure points). 3) Innate earth elemental fruit x 1 (100000 treasure points). 4) Innate wind elemental fruit x 1 (100000 treasure points). 5) Innate space elemental fruit x 1 (500000 treasure points). ¡­.. All five items in the [Silver] section were fruits, and they were all simr types of fruits. In the past, Leo saw one of these innate elemental fruits; however, he didn¡¯t have the power or money to buy it. So, at the time, he could only watch as a powerful advanced hero took that fruit. ¡®However, I found five such fruits with different elements.¡¯ Leo could not help but reminisce about that event from his past as he checked the information.-. ¡­. Item Name:- Innate fire elemental fruit. Item Type:- Consumable. Effect:- After consuming it, the consumer¡¯s fire-rted talent will undergo mutation. Note:- There is a slight chance that the mutation might not work; in that case, the experience of that talent will be increased. Description:- An otherworldly item brought by the ¡®Gods¡¯. ¡­. ¡®Good. The effect is the same.¡¯ Even though Leo already knew about the fruit, he wanted to be sure before consuming it. After checking the information on the [Innate fire elemental fruit], Leo didn¡¯t check the other fruits because he knew their effects were also simr, except they were helpful for the talents rted to the other elements. ¡®Since I can¡¯t buy all the fruits right now, I will only pick the fruits that I can use.¡¯ Looking at 850000 treasure points in his ount, Leo decided to buy three fruits first. -595000 treasure points. <255000 treasure points left in the participant¡¯s ount> Soon, three colourful fruits appeared in his hands; however, Leo¡¯s eyes were on the remaining treasure points. ¡®Right! I forgot about the 15 percent discount. Looks like the old man can¡¯t go back on his promise.¡¯ Leo thought he would not get any discount; however, after seeing the remaining treasure points in his ount, he became sure that the old remnant spirit couldn¡¯t take back his promise. Even though he didn¡¯t show it on his face, Leo was concerned that the old remnant spirit might y dirty. However, after seeing that the discount was still added to his purchases, he smiled slightly. ¡®Since I have enough treasure points, I will buy the remaining two fruits.¡¯ With a thought, Leo spent 170000 treasure points to buy the water and wind innate elemental fruits. <85000 treasure points left> ¡°How many treasure points do I need to ess the [Gold] section?¡± After buying all the items, Leo didn¡¯t leave the [Treasure room]; instead, he asked the remnant spirit in charge of the [Treasure room]. He asked that question to know how many treasure points he should bring when he entered the [Treasure room] next time. The ess needed to unlock a section in the [Treasure room] was the same as the highest-priced item in the section. For the [Bronze] section, the participants needed to have 100000 treasure points to ess, and the price for the special awakening talent stone was the same. It was the same for the [Silver] section, where the ess and the innate space elemental fruit needed 500000 treasure points. ¡®Since it requires one million treasure points to ess the [Gold] section, I will enter after umting two million treasure points.¡¯ Leo nodded as he nned his next visit to the [Treasure room]. He didn¡¯t want to visit the [Treasure room] to buy the items from the same section. So, he nned to sweep everything from the [Gold section] in a single go just like he did for the [Silver] section. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Thanking the remnant spirit¡¯s clone, Leo left the [Treasure room] without further dy. ¡­ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Brother Leo, you are back already?¡± Seeing Leo appear beside her, Julia revealed a bright smile as he was getting bored sitting alone. ¡°Yeah. Also, I bought some good stuff; however, it is not useful for you.¡± Leo didn¡¯t hide about the innate elemental fruits and told everything. ¡°I know Brother Leo will give me if there is something useful for me.¡± Julia shook her head and continued, ¡°Also, I am already a peak rank 6 hero thanks to Brother Leo¡¯s help. So, there is no need for Brother Leo to share things with me.¡± Julia had never expected that she would be a rank 6 hero in her early twenties. She also gained a rank 8 mutated beast. So, she was satisfied with her rapid growth. Also, she believed that Leo would share things with her if there were something useful for her. ¡°¡­¡± Leo shook his head at Julia¡¯s easy-going nature. ¡°I will use the items I bought from the [Treasure room].¡± ¡°Okay¡± With a thought, a fiery red-coloured fruit appeared in Leo¡¯s hand. It was none other than the innate fire elemental fruit. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Gulp¡¯ In a few bits, Leo ate the entire fruit and closed his eyes to absorb the energy. ¡®Ding, The host consumed an ¡®Innate Fire Elemental Fruit¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent ¡®Combustion¡¯ started undergoing a mutation. Please wait for a while toplete the mutation. He received two system notifications informing him about the mutation of his [Combustion] talent within no time. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ At the same time, the energy from the innate fire elemental fruit started spreading all over his body. Soon, Leo felt his entire body was on fire as he was fully covered in sweat within a few seconds. ¡®Aargh¡¯ The pain reached the point where Leo could not help but groan a little. ¡®I can endure it¡­I can do it.¡¯ Leo clenched his fist as he determined to endure the pain. Time continued to pass, and five minutes passed by; however, it felt like forever for Leo. ¡®Ding, Congrattions. The host¡¯s [Combustion] talent has sessfully mutated. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 64 [Bonus Chapter] Mighty Combustion ¡®Phew¡¯ Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he received the system notification. ¡°Brother Leo, are you alright?¡± On the other hand, Julia was worried about Leo for the whole minute while Leo was enduring the pain. So, when she saw Leo open his eyes, she asked with a worried look. ¡°I am alright.¡± Leo nodded in a weak voice and checked the information on his newly mutated talent. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Mighty Combustion (Rank 8). Effects:- 1) The user can release a heatwave ranging from one meter to 10 kilometers with a single thought. 2) The user can condense the heatwave around his body to create a fireball that will hit a single target within 10 kilometers. ¡®What? A new effect?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect there would be a new effect after the mutation. Generally, a talent has a single effect; however, if the user is skilled and the talent is rare, he could use it to create other effects; however, they will not be much different from the main effect of the talent. For example, some rare talents like Leo¡¯s [Earth Maniption] don¡¯t require much skill or experience to create other effects. It had only one effect: control the earth within a specific radius around Leo. Using that single effect, Leo could create a mud wall or create an earthquake, or many other things. Simrly, there were also talents like [Fire Maniption], [Water Maniption], [Wind Maniption], and [Space Maniption]. However, these are rare and hard to find in humans. ¡®With this new effect, [Combustion] almost reached the rarity of those talents.¡¯-. So, this was why he was surprised to see a new effect for his talent. ¡®Moreover, from now on, I don¡¯t have to worry about checking my surroundings before using [Mighty Combustion].¡¯ Since he could st the individual targets from now on, Leo felt the mutation for his talent was not bad. ¡®If a new effect appeared for [Mighty Combustion], I wonder what kind of changes will my [Earth Maniption] get.¡¯ Leo was looking forward to seeing his [Earth Maniption] changes. ¡®I will eat the fruit to find it.¡¯ Since no more participants came looking, Leo thought to eat the ¡®Innate earth elemental fruit¡¯. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Rumble¡¯ However, he started hearing the monsters¡¯ roars and the mutated beasts from a distance. At the same time, the ground started to shake a little. ¡°Brother Leo looks like a mutated beast horde ising in this direction.¡± Julia looked in the distance and informed Leo with a happy smile. After seeing Leo¡¯s battle prowess during their missions in the wilderness, Julia was not worried about some beast horde or a monster horde. ¡®I guess it might be one of the old spirit¡¯s schemes.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and stood up from the ground. Even if it had nothing to do with the old remnant spirit, Leo would only me the old man for anything that seemed out of the ordinary happening around him. ¡­ ¡®Acho¡¯ Somewhere in the [Treasurend], the old remnant spirit sneezed. ¡®I wonder who is thinking about it.¡¯ He stopped floating for a second and checked his surroundings. ¡®Whatever, I have to quickly find a way to send him out of my [Treasurend] before he loots the items from the [Gold] section.¡¯ The old remnant spirit didn¡¯t waste any time as he started working on his ns. ¡­ ¡®What perfect timing! Not only can I test my newly mutated talent, but I can also grind some treasure points and ¡®Promote points¡¯. Looking at therge group of monsters in the distance, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face. ¡®Ding, Monster name:- War troll. Information:- A humanoid monster who likes to wage war against other beings. If they didn¡¯t find other beings, they would wage against themselves. Note:- They don¡¯t have any intelligence; they are purely driven by their intent to wage war. ¡®Huh? This is my first time seeing such a monster.¡¯ Leo checked the information on the monster because he had never seen them before. ¡®Who cares? I will grind them.¡¯ Leo stood in front of Julia as he waited for the monster group to enter a 10-kilometer range. [Mighty Combustion] He extended his hand and condensed a fireball around the size of a football before releasing it to the monster group. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ After releasing one fireball, Leo released a few more fireballs with a different target. In a short time, the iing monster group was turned entirely into ashes without even getting a chance to retort against Leo. The fireballnded in the center of the monster group and sted the entire group. Soon, the remnant spirit¡¯s voice resounded in his head, informing him about his gains. ¡®This [Mighty Combustion] is much more powerful than I expected.¡¯ Looking at the destructive power of his fireball, Leo was surprised and revealed a satisfied look. ¡®However, where are the system notifications and my ¡®Promote points¡¯?¡¯ However, in the next second, Leo frowned because he didn¡¯t receive any system notifications or ¡®Promote points¡¯. ¡®Ding, The monsters are not real but mere projections. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked as he didn¡¯t expect the monster was not real. It was not Leo¡¯s fault because they looked too real for a mere projection. ¡®So, I will not get any ¡®Promote points¡¯?¡¯ ¡®Ding, Yes. The talent ¡®Talent Promoter¡¯ will only work when the host kills the real monsters or mutated beasts or humans. ¡®Hm.¡¯ Leo nodded and thought, ¡®If these monsters were not real, then all the monsters and mutated beasts in the [Treasurend] are also not real, right?¡¯ He didn¡¯t have to think much as he understood one thing: he had to go out of the [Treasurend] to see how his new talent [Talent promoter] works. Just as Leo understood that all the monsters and mutated beasts in the [Treasurend] were mere projections, an announcement resounded in the entire [Treasurend]. ¡®Julia, hold my hand.¡¯ Even though death was not real in [Treasurend], Leo didn¡¯t want Julia to get separated from him. So, he hurriedly held Julia¡¯s hand and disappeared from that ce due to a participant reshuffle. ¡­. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo and Julia both re-appeared on a mountain top. ¡°Julia, Brother Leo.¡± As soon as they appeared, they heard a familiar voice from a distance. ¡°Ryan?¡± None other than Ryan was supposed to escort Zander and Z. Leo was pleasantly surprised to meet his brother. However, Leo frowned when he checked the surroundings because almost all the surviving participants were on the mountain. Amy and her group of 15, including the ¡®Silent Beasts¡¯ mercenary squad, were standing on the left side. As for Zen and his group, they were standing on the right side of the mountain. In front of him was Zander¡¯s group, which was thergest group among the three. To be more specific, each group was eyeing one another¡­to be more specific, they were eyeing the treasure points hovering about the participants¡¯ heads. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Suddenly, the old remnant spirit appeared in mid-air, surprising everyone. ¡°Because of a participant, I decided to host the penultimate round for you.¡± He didn¡¯t waste time and directly said, ¡°In this round, all your talents will be temporarily sealed. Thest one standing alive on this mountain top will enter the final round and win a million points.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 65 [Bonus Chapter] Hand-to-Hand Combat ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®Sealing our talents?¡¯ ¡®Killing each other with our sealed talents?¡¯ When the participants heard the old remnant spirit¡¯s words, everyone was shocked. ¡®Old man, you are not hiding your intent anymore.¡¯ As everyone became anxious, Leo looked at the old remnant spirit, which was already looking at Leo with an evil smile. ¡°What happens if we don¡¯t fight among ourselves?¡± Like always, Zander raised his voice against the old spirit, acting as a leader of all the participants. ¡°Let¡¯s see whether it will happen or not¡­Haha.¡± The old man was quite happy because he knew Leo would be eliminated in this round. ¡®I don¡¯t care about the other participants. As long as a single participant is alive, it is enough for me.¡¯ This so-called penultimate round was supposed to happen after the participants cleared the items from the [God section]. However, the old remnant spirit decided to bring forth that round to kick out Leo from the [Treasurend] because he didn¡¯t want Leo to steal another one of his treasures. ¡®Swoosh¡¯-. Soon, the old remnant spirit disappeared without wasting any more time. ¡®I have to do something before Dominic and others do something that might mess up our goals.¡¯ Since everyone in the [Treasurend] still believes that the ¡®Death is real¡¯ in the [Treasurend], Leo knew Dominic and others might go on a killing spree, including the one who hired them. Leo didn¡¯t want that to happen and hurriedly thought of something. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s not kill each other since lives are more valuable than mere treasures.¡± As everyone was still waiting for someone to start the attack, Leo walked forward with a calm look. ¡°Yes. Brother Leo is right.¡± Zander frowned at Leo¡¯s words; however, he agreed with Leo before asking, ¡°So, what do you suggest we should do?¡± Since Zander had read Leo¡¯s information, he knew Leo got wits. So, he asked Leo with a calm look. ¡°Let¡¯s have a fair duel, and the winner gets the loser¡¯s treasure points. What do you say?¡± Leo revealed a slight smile on his cold face. ¡°In the end, there will be a single winner who umtes all the treasure points. I think it will be enough to ess the [Treasure room].¡± Zander finished Leo¡¯s words, and he agreed with them, along with his entire group. ¡°The Ambermane family has no problem withpetition.¡± Surprisingly, Zen was the first one to agree with Leo¡¯s n. Because if they started killing each other, his mercenaries might kill him. Dominic and Mikhael looked quite strong, even with the sealed talent, and he was afraid to die in their hands. ¡°The Icefeather family also didn¡¯t have any problem with that n.¡± Amy didn¡¯t like unnecessary killings, even if it meant getting rewarded generously. So, she didn¡¯t hesitate to agree to Leo¡¯s n. ¡°Good.¡± Leo nodded after seeing the response from the three groups. ¡®Even though everyone is looking righteous, they are just scared to die, and at the same time, they are nning how to take all the treasure points for themselves.¡¯ Leo knew no one in this world is righteous, and each looks after their own. ¡°Since there are 60 of us, how should we conduct thepetition?¡± There was no time limit for this round. So, they decided to n for thepetition with the surviving 60 participants. Initially, around 250 young heroes entered the [Treasurend]; however, right now, only 60 participants are remaining. Most of the participants were either killed by monsters and mutated beasts or in the hands of other participants like Leo. ¡°Since you already formed groups, why don¡¯t you transfer all your treasure points to the strongest one in your group?¡± Since everyone had already taken the bait, Leo knew his n would be sessful. ¡°Excellent. Brother Leo, you are really intelligent.¡± Zander felt his father had overestimated Leo¡¯s abilities; however, seeing how calm andposed Leo was and how fast he coulde up with fast solutions, he felt Leo deserved his father¡¯s praises. ¡°From the City leader¡¯s group, I will be the participant.¡± In the next second, Zander selected himself as the city leader¡¯s group participant, and soon the remaining 29 members in his group sent all their treasure points to him. ¡®Oh. He only needs 100000 treasure points to ess the [Gold section].¡¯ Leo was surprised to see the treasure points of the city leader¡¯s group, which were rtively high. ¡°From the Ambermane family, we select Dominic.¡± ¡°From the Icefeather family, ke will fight.¡± Soon, the two family groups also selected their strongest members who were good at martial arts. Since the old remnant spirit sealed their talents, they could only rely on hand-to-handbat. Also, Dominic and ke were the mercenaries known for their body transformation talent and had a lot of battle experience in the wilderness. ¡°There are four participants, including me. I am very confident in my battle skills. So, why don¡¯t I fight you three guys one by one and defeat you?¡± Leo started his words with a slight smile; however, he had an arrogant smile that made Zander frown by the end. ¡°Brother Leo, I know you are powerful with your two rare talents; however, your words sound quite arrogant.¡± Zander scoffed at Leo and wanted to teach him a lesson. ¡°I want to fight him and see what he is made of?¡± Before Zander could take a couple of steps toward Leo to teach him a lesson, the muscr mercenary ke rushed towards Leo at a reasonable speed. ¡°Die¡± ke threw a powerful punch at Leo, which was quite fast. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Baldy, you got nice muscles; however, they are useless against me.¡± However, Leo casually took a back step and dodged ke¡¯s punch easily. ¡°How dare you call me ¡®Baldy¡¯?¡± Suddenly, ke became furious, and his muscles bulged. ¡°I am going to kill you today.¡± As soon as he finished his words, de threw a series of powerful punches at Leo, whereas Leo was continuously dodging them by either taking a back step or a side step. ¡°ytime is over. Let¡¯s wrap this up.¡± In the next second, Leo didn¡¯t take either a back step or a side-step; instead, he took a front step. ¡®Your acting has improved a lot, Baldy.¡¯ ¡®Thanks, Boss.¡¯ They exchanged a few words in a barely audible voice in a split second. After exchanging the words, Leo slightly inched his body sideways to dodge the oing punch and gave an uppercut that made ke fly into the air. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 66 1 vs 2 ¡®What the hell are they doing?¡¯ Even though the old remnant spirit left from the mountain top, he was still watching those participants. So, when he saw everyone was ying along with Leo¡¯s n, he was shocked. ¡®Where did this bunch of foolse from? Looks like this scheme is also in vain.¡¯ The old remnant spirit knew that Leo was more cunning than he thought. With a few words, he made everyone go along with the n. ¡®What did I expect from these bunch of young fellows.¡¯ However, after a few moments, the old remnant spirit shook his head because it was not their fault. ¡®Instead, the participant is so clever and cunning that these participants didn¡¯t even realize everything was under his control.¡¯ The old remnant spirit shook his head at Leo, who had just knocked down ke. ¡®Also, why did that baldy address him ¡®Boss¡¯?¡¯ There was another thing that made the old man annoyed, and that was ke calling Leo ¡®Boss¡¯. ¡®So, he is also your underling. How many underlings does this guy have?¡¯ Earlier, the three young rank 7 heroes called him ¡®Master¡¯, and now another rank 7 hero called him ¡®Boss¡¯. So, of course, it made the old man get curious about Leo¡¯s identity. ¡®Since this n almost failed, I should at least secure thest two sections of the [Treasure room].¡¯-. Nevertheless, the old remnant spirit started thinking of a new n to stop Leo from taking the items from [tinum] and [Diamond] sections of the [Treasure room]. ¡­.. ¡°So, do you want to continue?¡± Looking at ke, who was on the ground, Leo asked with a slight smile. ¡°No. I can¡¯t win against you.¡± The initial rage in ke¡¯s face was nowhere to be seen as he epted his defeat. ¡®How did ke lose a hand-to-handbat?¡¯ ¡®Impossible.¡¯ ¡®se lost with a single uppercut.¡¯ The Icefeather family members were shocked and could not believe their eyes. ¡®Hey, ke. How could you ept defeat just like that?¡¯ ¡®Come on. Fight him.¡¯ A few members cursed at ke for admitting defeat so easily. However, when ke looked at them, they shut their mouths and hid behind others. ¡°Since I won the fight, I can take all his treasure points, right?¡± Leo asked while looking at Amy, the leader of the Icefeather family¡¯s group. ¡°¡­¡± Amy remained silent and looked at Julia behind Leo before nodding her head. ¡°Good. You heard her. Transfer the treasure points now.¡± Leo extended his hand to ke as he helped him stand up. ¡°Hm¡± ke looked at Amy and transferred all the treasure points to Leo. The remnant spirit¡¯s voice resounded in Leo¡¯s head as he received the treasure points of the Icefeather family. ¡®I just need to win another fight, and I can gain ess to the [Gold] section.¡¯ Leo revealed a satisfied smile. ¡°Thanks for the treasure points.¡± Leo walked closer to ke and said in a low voice, ¡®If you die here, you will be teleported out of this [Treasurend]. So, don¡¯t make hasty decisions and inform others about it.¡¯ ¡®Yes, Boss.¡¯ ¡®Scoff¡¯ Even though ke was surprised by Leo¡¯s words, he didn¡¯t show it on his face. Instead, he scoffed at Leo to make others believe he was angry for losing in Leo¡¯s hands. Soon, he returned to the Icefeather family¡¯s group and informed his squad members of the information he gained from Leo. ¡­.. ¡°Next, who wants toe?¡± Leo looked at Zander and Dominic before asking who wanted to fight him. ¡°I will¡­¡± ¡°Brother, wait a second.¡± Before Zander could finish his words, his sister Z pulled his back and whispered, ¡®Idiot, let the other guy fight him. Even if Leo wins, he will not be in his peak form.¡¯ ¡°You can fight him.¡± Without waiting for Zander¡¯s reply, Z looked at Dominic and asked him to fight Leo. ¡°Why should he fight first?¡± However, before Dominic could say anything, Zen furiously shouted at Z. How could Zen not guess what Z was thinking? Zen also wanted to use the same tactic to let Zander fight Leo. Then Dominic would easily defeat the winner of the fight. ¡®They are both strong and will consume a lot of energy. I should not let Dominic go first.¡¯ Zander was trained in hand-to-handbat from a young age. So, Zen knew even if Dominic won against Leo, he could not win against Zander. As for Leo, he didn¡¯t even put any effort into defeating ke. So, everyone was sure about his strength. ¡°You¡± Z became angry; however, she knew that whoever fights Leo first would be at a disadvantage. ¡°There is no need for you to fight.¡± Leo stopped Z and Zen and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you two fight me together? If you defeat me, I will transfer my treasure points 50-50 to you; however, if I win, transfer your treasure points.¡± ¡°Damn you. Do you think I have to partner up with others to defeat you?¡± Zander was not only strong, but he was also proud. So, he didn¡¯t want to fight Leo in a ¡®2 versus 1¡¯ fight. ¡®Idiot. Stop making a fuss and partner up with him.¡¯ Z smacked Zander¡¯s head and ordered him to team up with Dominic. She was sure that as long as Leo was out of the picture, her brother would be the winner of thepetition. ¡°What do you say?¡± Without wasting any time, Z asked Zen. ¡®¡­¡¯ Zen thought about it before replying, ¡°Why not?¡± ¡®Dominic, as soon as you guys defeat Leo, kill Zander. Once we get all the treasure points, we can kill them all.¡¯ At the same time, Zen silently ordered Dominic to kill Zander. ¡®¡­¡¯ Dominic and his squad members didn¡¯t say anything as Dominic walked toward Leo. ¡°Even though I don¡¯t think it a fair match, let¡¯s have a ¡®2 versus 1¡¯ match since you are arrogant.¡± From the city leader¡¯s group, Zander also walked toward Leo and continued saying, ¡°I will let you know that it is not good to be arrogant.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After finishing his words, he looked at Dominic and nodded before both rushed toward Leo. ¡®It¡¯s been a while since I had proper hand-to-handbat.¡¯ Looking at Dominic and Zander, Leo revealed a slight smile. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 67 Broken Jaw ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Even with their talents sealed, both Dominic and Zander had good agility as they reached Leo in a few seconds. ¡°You are quite fast.¡± Leo was surprised to see their speed was pretty fast. Zander scoffed at Leo and threw a kick at Leo. ¡°However, you are still slower than me.¡± Like before, Leo casually took a back step and dodged the kick by an inch. ¡°Really?¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ It was Dominic who was waiting for Leo to take a back step. Seeing that, Leo took a back step just like he thought; Dominic threw a punch at Leo. ¡®Thud¡¯ Even though Leo blocked the punch in time, he got pushed by a few meters. ¡°See, you will regret being arrogant and asking us to fight together.¡± Zander was surprised to see Dominic¡¯s punch which he barely saw as itnded on Leo; however, he was satisfied that the punchnded on Leo. ¡°Really? I doubt that.¡± Leo looked at Zander and shook his head with a smile, making Zander annoyed with Leo¡¯s attitude. ¡®Swoosh¡¯-. Just as Leo finished those words, he rushed towards Zander. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Zander raised his brows and stood in a fighting stance, waiting for Leo toe close to him. ¡®Die¡¯ When Leo reached him, Zander took a step forward to give a knee strike in Leo¡¯s abdomen. ¡®Heh¡¯ However, Leo ced his hands on Zander¡¯s knee and used that force to fly into the air. Leo didn¡¯t stop there as his knee struck Zander¡¯s lower jaw with his knee. ¡®Kacha¡¯ A crisp sound resounded in that area, and it was clear that Zander¡¯s jaw was broken. ¡®Woah¡¯ ¡®So cool¡¯ Julia and a few others were surprised at Leo¡¯s actions which looked fast and elegant. ¡®Whoosh¡¯ ¡°You can admit defeat and leave from here.¡± Leo gracefullynded on the ground and said to Zander. Not even one minute had passed, and Zander already had a broken jaw. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After finishing those words, Leo didn¡¯t even bother to nce at Zander; instead, he rushed toward Dominic. ¡°Yuuu¡­..ssuup righdh dhere.¡± Zander was furious with Leo¡¯s words, and when he saw Leo didn¡¯t even bother to pay any attention to him, he shouted at him. However, Zander could not even pronounce the words correctly because of his broken jaw. ¡­. On the other hand, Leo and Dominic had already started their fight. ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®Whoosh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ Dominic didn¡¯t bother to block or dodge Leo¡¯s attacks and received all of them; however, at the same time, he alsonded a punch or kick once in a while. What¡¯s scarier was neither Dominic nor Leo; they didn¡¯t show a painful expression, not to mention let out any groans. ¡®They are both monsters?¡¯ ¡®How can they not show any pained expression despite having those bruises?¡¯ ¡®Let¡¯s notpare ourselves with them.¡¯ ¡®Yeah. Even with their talents sealed, they were monsters.¡¯ The onlookers were shocked to see the intense fight between Leo and Dominic. ¡­. Time continued to pass, and five minutes passed by in a sh. However, Leo and Dominic were still fighting without feeling tired; instead, they looked excited. ¡®I guess, it is enough. It¡¯s time to finish.¡¯ Leo had already informed everything about the [Treasurend] during the five minutes of intense battle. So, he guessed it was enough fighting for the day. Soon, Leo revealed a slight smile as he jumped into the air and kicked Dominic with both of his feet, pushing him into the Ambermane family¡¯s group. ¡°Since I defeated you two, why don¡¯t you transfer your treasure points to me now?¡± Leo looked at Zander, who supported his lower jaw, and Dominic, supported by his squad members, asked them. ¡°What if we don¡¯t give you the treasure points?¡± Z and Zen walked forward with the intention not to transfer the transfer points to Leo. Zander and Dominic remained silent as they left Z and Zen handling the situation. ¡°What are you two doing?¡± Amy frowned when she heard their words because only now did she realize that they were not willing to y by the rules from the beginning. ¡°Amy, you already gave your points to him. So, you just keep quiet and stand aside just like always.¡± Z scoffed at Amy as she looked at Zen. Sensing the gaze on him, Zen looked at Z, and after thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s add a new rule to thepetition.¡± ¡°The winner should either belong to the Ambermane family or the City leader¡¯s group. What do you say?¡± ¡°Not a bad idea.¡± Z agreed to his suggestion because only the participant from her city should win to her. ¡°Woah. So you want to kick out an outsider like me?¡± Leo pointed to himself and acted like he was surprised. He already knew the participants would not let an outsider like him have all the treasure points; however, he was surprised that Amy followed the rules. ¡®Sigh¡­she is still so righteous just like in the past; however, it is useless in this world.¡¯ Leo sighed at Amy and looked at Zen and Z before saying, ¡°Well, what can I do if you don¡¯t want to give your treasure points?¡± ¡°Good. At least you know your ce.¡± Zen and Z thought that Leo was scared because no matter how powerful Leo was, he could not fight against 45 members without his talent. ¡°Of course, I know my ce.¡± Leo was not angry; instead, he revealed a slight smile as he nodded at their words. ¡°Good. Since you know your ce, why don¡¯t you transfer your points to me?¡± Both Zen and Z asked Leo at the same time. ¡°Sure but who should give me treasure points?¡± Leo asked them with a confused look. ¡°Whoelse? Of course to me. I am the daughter of the City leader Theodore. If you give your treasure points, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything in your life.¡± Z saw that Leo was willing to give away his treasure points. So, she hurriedly used her father¡¯s name to get the points. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded his head and slowly walked towards Z. ¡°Wait. Brother Leo, the Ambermane family will also give anything you want. Just give us the treasue points.¡± How could Zen let go of the treasure points so easily? He hurriedly shouted and used his family¡¯s name to stop Leo. Even though it was not as powerful as City leader Theodore, the Ambermane family had its trump cards. ¡°Sigh¡­why don¡¯t you bothe forward? Then, I will equally share my treasure points with you.¡± Leo stopped in his steps as he suddenly suggested sharing the treasure points with them equally. ¡°Brother Leo, there is no need to fear the Ambermane family. If my father takes action, he can erase the Ambermane family from Phirie city.¡± Z didn¡¯t want to share the treasure points with Ambermane¡¯s family. So, she belittled the Ambermane family. ¡°Damn you, Z.¡± Zac, Zen¡¯s little brother, who remained silent from the beginning to the end, opened his mouth and cursed Z. ¡°If not for my father, your father would not have be a Supreme Hero and the city leader of Phirie city. If my father didn¡¯t kill those two wilderness explorers¡­.¡± ¡®Idiot. Why are you bringing this up now.¡¯ Before Zac could finish his words, Zen hurriedly closed his mouth. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo clenched his fists because he knew who Zac was talking about, and a volcano erupted inside him. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 68 Leos Bloodlust ¡®As I guessed, the Ambermane family and City leader, they are both together in this.¡¯ When he heard Zac¡¯s words, Leo clenched his fists as he controlled his furious heart that wanted to kill the Ambermane family and the city leader¡¯s group. Leo would have already wiped those two groups if the [Treasurend] didn¡¯t teleport the participants out upon their death. However, right now, he could not do it. Not only do the participants not die for real; instead, his identity might be revealed. ¡®Looks like I can start my mission with the Ambermane family after going out of the [Treasurend].¡¯ Leo only knew that someone powerful was involved in the death behind his adoptive parents¡¯ death and framing. However, he found two big names already, and after hearing Zac¡¯s words, Leo knew the things were not as simple as killing his parents for a grade 3 awakening serum. ¡°Zen, does your Ambermane family n to get destroyed or what?¡± When Z and Zander heard Zac shouting about the past events, they became serious. ¡°N-no.¡± Zen¡¯s arrogant look disappeared as he smacked Zac¡¯s head a few more times. ¡°You know what to do, right?¡± Z wanted to kill Zac right away; however, she knew that the Ambermane family would retaliate if she openly killed Zen and Zac. Instead, she thought of a n before asking Zen in a serious tone.-. ¡®¡­¡¯ Zen looked at the participants that didn¡¯t belong to either the Ambermane family¡¯s group or the City leader¡¯s group and nodded his head. ¡°Since they heard something that they should not hear, they will be buried in this [Treasurend] forever.¡± With an evil look, Zen ordered the young heroes from his family to kill the Icefeather family¡¯s group, Leo and Julia. ¡°Yes, young leader.¡± Except for Dominic and his friends, the remaining rushed to kill their target. ¡°What are you waiting for? I hired you to kill them, right? Go and do it.¡± Seeing that Dominic didn¡¯t move, Zen shouted at him and asked him to do his job. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dominic looked at Zen before rushing towards Leo with his team. ¡°Everyone, protect Miss Amy.¡± Seeing that the Ambermane family was trying to kill them, the Icefeather family¡¯s group formed a circle around Amy. If they go out of the [Treasurend] without Amy, then their family head would kill them. So, even if they have to die in the [Treasurend], they have to protect Amy. The four Silent Beasts¡¯ mercenary squad members also joined the group to protect Amy because it was the best time to prove their loyalty. ¡°Z, I think we can discuss the treasure pointster. Why don¡¯t you send a few people to assist my mercenaries to kill that b*stard?¡± Since everyone knew how capable Leo was in hand-to-handbat, Zen decided to ask for help from Z. ¡°Hm¡± Z knew the most powerful one among the participants was Leo. So, she didn¡¯t hesitate to send a group of young elites from her group. ¡°Miss Z, can you let them off? I will make sure they will not spread what they heard here.¡± Seeing that Leo and Ryan were in trouble, Ryan hurriedly kneeled in front of Z and begged her. Ryan was grateful to Leo for giving a talent awakening stone to Emily, and Julia was the love of his life. So, he was willing to kneel and beg for them without hesitation. ¡®What a low-life!¡¯ Z scoffed at Ryan and replied, ¡°Letting you and your siblings live was already a huge favour my father did to you. So, know your ce and stand aside if you don¡¯t want to assist in killing them.¡± ¡®I have never seen a son letting off their parents¡¯ murders like that.¡¯ ¡®What¡¯s more, he was willing to work for them.¡¯ ¡®I heard he gave a statement that his older brother killed his parents for the grade 3 awkening serum. What a b*stard!¡¯ ¡®Since his older brother didn¡¯t have a talent and his own brother said he witnessed the crime, no one doubted it.¡¯ Some of the oldest members following Z and Zander didn¡¯t have a good opinion of Ryan because they knew how Ryan got to his current position. ¡°Young miss, please¡­.¡± Ryan continued to beg Z; however, Z didn¡¯t intend to fulfil his request. ¡®Huh?¡¯ When Leo saw his brother kneeling in front of Z, he became furious. ¡®I am going to kill you all.¡¯ Finally, he could not control his anger anymore. ¡°Ryan, stop kneeling in front of them.¡± Julia also didn¡¯t like Ryan kneeling in front of Z for their sake. So, she shouted at him. ¡°Also, I don¡¯t hate you.¡± She continued saying, ¡°Even though I didn¡¯t understand why you did that back then, recently, I understood a few things that made me understand now why you did it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t hate you anymore and I love you. So, you don¡¯t have to kneel in front of a b*tch whose father killed your parents.¡± After seeing the true colours of the Ambermane family in the Serpent caverns and hearing Zac¡¯s words a few moments ago, Julia realized why Ryan lied about witnessing the crime of his adoptive parents when he was with her at the time of the crime. ¡°Julia.¡± Ryan didn¡¯t know whether he should be happy that Julia confessed to him or sad that she would be killed today. ¡°Die¡± At the same time, Dominic, Rebbeca, and Mikhael were already in front of Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ However, Leo was already filled with anger, and he wanted to do something; otherwise, Ryan and Julia would be hunted down in the real world. So, he didn¡¯t hide his strength anymore and killed Dominic and his group in three strikes without any hesitation. ¡®Is it revenge forughing at Boss Leo in front of Misison Hall?¡¯ ¡®No wonder, we received painful deathspared to Dominic.¡¯ Mikhael and Rebba bitterly smiled as their bodies disappeared from the [Treasu ¡®p p p¡¯ After killing them, Leo looked at Ryan and pped. Leo was happy that the misunderstanding between Julia and Ryan was cleared. ¡°Looks like our City leader Theodore and the Ambermane family did something evil. No wonder you are trying to kill everyone.¡± After seeing that Leo killed three powerful mercenaries with each strike, no one dared to rush at him. Nevertheless, Leo walked toward Z and helped Ryan up from the ground before taking him back to Julia. ¡®The bloodlust in his eyes¡­.even father didn¡¯t have it. How many did he kill to get such intense bloodlust.¡¯ From the moment Leo walked toward her to the moment he returned, Z didn¡¯t dare to say anything because of the bloodlust in Leo¡¯s eyes. A single look from Leo made her unconsciously step back. ¡°Icefeather family, are you willing to hire me?¡± Since Amy was one of the few friends from his childhood, he didn¡¯t mind helping her. Even though he asked them to hire him, Leo knew the Icefeather family didn¡¯tck money or treasures. When their lives were at stake, they would not hesitate to grab theirst straw to save them. ¡°10 million Hero coins. As long as you save us from them.¡± Amy had already witnessed Leo¡¯s battle prowess and knew he would save her group. So, she didn¡¯t hesitate to offer 10 million Hero coins. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 69 Ambermane familys dirty secret After five minutes, ¡°Please¡­don¡¯t kill me.¡± Zen was on his knees, begging Leo to let him go. As soon as Amy hired Leo, he didn¡¯t waste any time as he killed the Ambermane family members, including Zac, leaving only Zen alive. ¡°If you tell the biggest dirty secret of your Ambermane family, I will let you.¡± Even if Leo killed Zen now, he would be teleported out. So, he wanted to have something about the Ambermane family which might help him after leaving the [Treasurend]. He didn¡¯t want to openly go against the Ambermane family and the City leader¡¯s family because he would be killed even before he could take revenge. Moreover, after Julia¡¯s earlier outburst, he was sure that Z would not let her life once they got out of the [Treasurend]. As for Ryan, even though he left the city leader¡¯s group, he was still hesitating about something. ¡®Ryan, don¡¯t do something you regret for your entire life.¡¯ Leo was praying in his heart as he kept an eye on Ryan from time to time. ¡°No¡­we don¡¯t have any..¡± ¡°Okay. It looks like you are very loyal to your family. You can go and meet your brother now.¡± Leo interrupted him before Zen could finish his words and prepared to kill him. ¡°N-no¡­I will tell you.¡± Seeing the bloodlust in Leo¡¯s eyes, Zen knew Leo was not joking about it and hurriedly said in a low voice.-. ¡®The Ambermane family used ¡®Hidden assassins¡¯ mercenary squad to kill the young geniuses from the Cloudriver family and the Icefeather family for thest ten years.¡¯ ¡°Huh? Really?¡± Leo didn¡¯t expect Zen would really tell the biggest secret of the Ambermane family, making him surprised. Z looked at Zen from the side, fearing what he was saying to Leo. ¡®If that fool tells about that event, I will make sure my father erases the Ambermane family.¡¯ Z gritted her teeth. Even though there were 30 members in her group, she didn¡¯t dare to order them to kill Leo. After seeing Leo kill all the members of the Ambermane family on his own, Z stood in her ce without doing anything. ¡°Yes. If you check Clemen¡¯s storage ring, you will find the notes of payment history and the names of the target.¡± As for Zen, he nodded his head and informed Leo. ¡®I used to curse him for writing down those notes; however, it is saving my life today.¡¯ Zen never thought that he could use those notes to save his life. ¡°Huh? So, you already knew that I killed Clemens and his squad members.¡± Leo was a little surprised; however, he was not surprised when he thought about it. ¡®Since Zen was the one who ordered Clemens around, he must be the one who sent them to kill me and Julia in the wilderness.¡¯ He nodded his head and continued thinking, ¡®However, the problem is ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ has already consumed all the junk from his storage ring.¡¯ ¡°Nice. I found it.¡± Even though Leo didn¡¯t have it, he acted as if he had found it. ¡°Since you promised¡­.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any use for you.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ As Zen was about to say something, Leo pierced his fingers into Zen¡¯s neck and killed him. Earlier, Zen took back all the treasure points from Dominic, fearing that Dominic might give away the points to Zeo before losing against Leo. So, Leo received those treasure points from killing Zen. ¡®No now. I still have to collect another batch of treasure points.¡¯ While saying that, Leo looked at Zander, who was supporting his lower jaw. ¡°I wanted to y by the rules; however, you went back on it.¡± Soon, he started walking toward Z as he continued, ¡°I was okay with it and was willing to give away my treasure points.¡± ¡°But, you wanted me dead. Now, tell me, what can you do to make up for what you did?¡± Leo¡¯s eyes were entirely on the treasure points above Zander¡¯s head for the entire time. It was clear to everyone what he wanted. ¡°I will give you the treasure points.¡± Z was already scared of the look in Leo¡¯s eyes. So, she didn¡¯t hesitate to give away the treasure points. ¡°Those treasure points are mine to begin with. Moreover, if I kill your brother, I will get them anyway. So, give me a tempting offer.¡± Leo revealed an evil smile on his face. ¡°You¡­¡± Z unconsciously hid behind her brother when she saw Leo was looking at her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am not interested in you or your t body. Give me something worthy.¡± Sensing what Z was thinking, Leo scoffed at her. ¡°You¡­¡± Z was burning with rage inside her heart and swore to take revenge on Leo. ¡°I will promise you that I will not harm Ryan and Julia.¡± After thinking for a few seconds, Z¡¯s eyesnded on Julia. So, she hurriedly said she would let them live after returning to Phirie city. ¡°Who cares about them? If you pay me money, I can kill them right away. I asked you for something worthy.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to look at Julia or Ryan as he seriously replied to Z. He knew Z was not Amy to keep her promise, and the moment they left the [Treasurend], she would hunt them down. So, he didn¡¯t hesitate to turn down her promise, and at the same time, he wanted everyone to know that he was not attached to anyone. That¡¯s why he said he would even kill Ryan and Julia. ¡®What?¡¯ Amy, Julia and Ryan were shocked by Leo¡¯s words as they never expected Leo would kill them. ¡°Good. I will pay you 10 million hero coins. Kill them both.¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, Z¡¯s eyes lit up as she made an offer to him. She was angry at Julia because she called her ¡®B*tch¡¯ earlier, whereas Ryan dared to leave her group. So, she wants them dead as soon as possible. ¡°The offer is good; however, I don¡¯t trust you that you will pay me after we leave the [Treasurend]. So, give me something else right now and I will kill them for you.¡± Leo was not a fool to believe that Z would pay him after leaving the [Treasurend]. So, he asked for something that she could give right now. ¡°You¡­¡± The more Z spoke with Leo, the more irritated she became; however, she suppressed her anger as she could not do anything to Leo right now. ¡°I will give you this bracelet.¡± After thinking for a moment, she decided to give her the bracelet she was wearing. ¡°Even though we can¡¯t use it in this [Treasurend], it is a rank 9 artifact my father bought for me. Now, can you kill them?¡± Throwing the green-coloured bracelet at Leo, she ordered him to kill Julia and Ryan. ¡°The payment is good enough to kill them; however, you still haven¡¯t paid me for trying to kill me.¡± Leo caught it and nodded his head before asking for hisst payment. ¡°Make it quick. I don¡¯t have all day for you.¡± Leo urged Z to give him something worthy to let her live. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything worthy of me right now; however, I can tell you some valuable information.¡± Since Leo wanted her to give something right now, she could only use the valuable information to trade her life. ¡°Say it. Whether it is valuable or not, I will confirm it.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 70 Killing Julia and Ryan ¡°Say it. Whether it is valuable or not, I will confirm it.¡± Leo asked her to say it first. ¡®Our city exploration team found an otherworldly portal in the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ a few months ago.¡¯ Z hesitated a little before walking closer to Leo and whispered in his ears. ¡®An otherworldly portal? Aren¡¯t they all closed?¡¯ The changes in this world happen because of the sudden appearance of the portals. All types of monsters came out of these portals. However, the ¡®Gods¡¯ have closed all the portals before leaving this world. ¡®They should be closed; however, the city exploration team was lucky enough to find it.¡¯ Z revealed a slight smile as she continued, ¡®So, for the past few months, we are analysing things like what monsterse out of it and how powerful they are.¡¯ ¡®We are almost on the verge ofpleting the external analysis and soon, we will be sending the exploration teams into the portal.¡¯ ¡®Since you are powerful, I can rmend my father to let you enter it. From our initial analysis, we are sure that there mightbe a lot of resources on the other side of the portal.¡¯ Z had another thought when she revealed the information about the portal. She wanted to tempt Leo into entering the portal. ¡°You promised it. You should not go back on your promise.¡± Leo nodded his head and asked her to keep her promise. ¡°Of course. I will keep my promise.¡± Z was happy as she nodded her head while silently thinking, ¡®B*stard, I will let you know the consequences of offending me.¡¯-. It will take another couple of years to finish the external analysis of the portal. Their research on the portal until now concluded that it was even dangerous for rank 9 heroes, not to mention a rank 6 hero. ¡®It looks like I do¡¯t have to hunt him down.¡¯ Since Leo seemed like he wanted to enter the portal, she could ask his father to hide a few things about the dangers of the otherworld portal and send Leo into it. ¡°So, is it valuable enough to keep my life?¡± Z asked with a slight smile because she knew Leo was already tempted. ¡°It is much more valuable than your life. So, I will let you live.¡± Leo nodded his head while thinking, ¡®She might be sending into the portal already. No wonder the quote ¡®The fruit doesn¡¯t fall far from the tree¡¯ is right.¡¯ Z was just like her father, Theodore, cunning and clever. They would not hesitate to kill for anything they want or anyone who offends them. ¡°Zander, transfer the treasure points.¡± Next, she asked Zander to transfer the points, who transferred while shootingsers at Leo, holding his broken jaw. After receiving the treasure points from Zander, Leo¡¯s total treasure points have crossed a whopping 2.5 million. ¡®I think it is enough to sweep the [Gold] section items from the [Treasure room].¡¯ Leo could not help but be excited because he looked forward to seeing what items were stored in the [Gold] section. ¡°Since we finished our deal, why don¡¯t you go and kill them?¡± Z asked Leo with a slight smile. ¡°Sure.¡± Currently, Ryan and Julia are in the Icefeather family¡¯s group. So, Leo nodded as he walked toward them with a stern look. ¡°Leo, what are you doing? Didn¡¯t I hire you already?¡± Amy frowned as she shouted at Leo. ¡°Yes, you hired me to protect you and your group; however, Julia and Ryan don¡¯t belong to your group.¡± Leo coldly replied as he didn¡¯t stop in his steps. ¡°Everyone, protect them.¡± Seeing that Leo didn¡¯t intend to stop, Amy could only order her group members to protect Julia and Ryan. ¡°Are you willing to die for some unknown people?¡± Leo could see the hesitation in the faces of Amy¡¯s group. Since Amy was their young miss, the family head would kill them if something happened to her. So, they were willing to risk their lives to protect her. However, why would they risk their lives for Julia and Ryan, who were wanted dead by the daughter of the city leader? ¡°Young miss, are you willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone just for them?¡± They all knew what Leo was capable of. So, one of the subordinates asked Amy whether she wanted everyone dead? ¡®¡­¡¯ Amy fell into a dilemma because Leo could kill their entire group; however, she didn¡¯t want to give up on Julia either. ¡°Sister Amy, there is no need for anyone to die today.¡± As Amy was lost in her dilemma, Julia walked out of the group along with Ryan. Julia was already grateful to Amy, and she didn¡¯t want any more people to die because of her. ¡°Brother Leo, I already know I will die after leaving the [Treasurend]. So, I will not mind dying in your hands.¡± Even though Julia could not believe that Leo was the type to kill just because of treasures or money, she was not sad to die in Leo¡¯s hands. ¡®Since it was Brother Leo who saved me, I don¡¯t mind dying in his head.¡¯ This was what Julia thought in her head when she said those words. ¡°However, can you please let Ryan live? He still has to look after Emily and Evan.¡± Julia requested with misty eyes. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Leo sighed and turned to look at Z. ¡°I won¡¯t take back a dog that I abandoned once. It should be killed to let the other dogs know what happens when they leave my side.¡± Z shook her head, rejecting Julia¡¯s request. ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t fulfil your request.¡± Leo shook his head as he walked closer to Julia and whispered, ¡®Do you trust me?¡¯ At the same time, he silently passed an elite talent upgrading stone to her. ¡®Hm¡¯ Julia was surprised for a moment as she nodded her head. ¡®As soon as you go out of the [Treasurend], announce that you are a rank 7 healing hero. Don¡¯t forget it.¡¯ After finishing his words, Leo lightly tapped a pressure point on her neck, making Julia fall asleep. Next, he touched her a few more pressure points on her back and soon, she turned into light dots before disappearing into nothing. ¡°You¡± Ryan was angry and was about to hit Leo; however, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time giving Ryan a painless death. ¡®With this, no one will use Julia or Ryan to threaten me.¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t like killing Julia and Ryan, he was relieved that his enemies would not go after Julia anymore. Moreover, she would be a rank 7 healing hero with the help of the elite ss talent upgrade stone, and she also has the rank 8 mutated beast. ¡®I hope the situation does not go to the point where dimir has to reveal himself.¡¯ Leo had already run all simtions of the events that might appear after Julia went out of the [Treasurend]. ¡°Are you happy now?¡± After killing them, Leo turned and looked at Z. ¡°Good.¡± Z nodded her head and didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡®Hey old man,e out and announce the winner of this round.¡¯ Since Leo was the only one who had the treasure points among the remaining participants, he asked the old remnant spirit to conclude the round. Without any dy, Leo received a reply from the old man. ¡®So, you are rejecting the request of a ¡®VIP¡¯ participant?¡¯ The old remnant spirit appeared on the mountain top in the next second. After learning that there was no actual death, Leo concluded that the creator was not some cold-blooded hero who liked killing, or he might have changed after going through a lot of killings. So, Leo was sure that the creator added a lot of restrictions for this remnant spirit from doing whatever it wanted. That¡¯s how Leo could have his way with the old remnant spirit. ¡®Snap¡¯ With a snap, except for Leo, everyone turned into light dots and disappeared just like Julia and other dead participants. ¡®Sure¡¯ Leo nodded his head and disappeared from his ce. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 71 Order of the Healing Angels Outside the [Treasurend], All the powerhouses of Phirie city were waiting in front of the dark pir. They were excited after learning about the [Treasurend] and the treasure points to buy the treasures. However, whenever one of their young heroes got kicked out of the [Treasurend] without any treasure, they became anxious. Nevertheless, everyone became disappointed after a few hours, other than the Ambermane family, the Icefeather family, and the City leader. ¡°City leader, it looks like your children will be getting some good treasures.¡± ¡°Family head Liam and Family head Oliver, you too.¡± Family head Gregor and other powerhouses of the Phirie city were praising them. Since more than 70 percent of the participants were kicked out, the chances of getting at least one treasure for the remaining participants were high. ¡°If my children find some treasures, I will host a party tomorrow night.¡± Theodore was very confident in his children and already thinking of hosting a party. ¡®Even though Zander didn¡¯t have much intelligence, Z was very intelligent just like me. Zander will protect her with hisbat skills whereas Z will guide him.¡¯ He was proud of the duo and knew it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for his children to get some good treasures from the [Treasurend]. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If it is not very useful for my family, I will put it on my next premium auction.¡± Oliver was beaming with happiness as he promoted his premium auction. ¡®Even though I should be happy right now, why am I having a bad premonition in my heart?¡¯ However, Liam could not feel happy as he looked at the dark pir. ¡®That b*stard. I am going to kill him.¡¯-. As for Mr White, his heart was burning with rage as he learned Leo killed his participants despite knowing they were his people. So, he swore to kill Leo as soon as he came out of the [Treasurend]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Amidst their conversations, they saw some participants appear in front of him. ¡°Zac, what happened? Is Zen still inside?¡± Liam hurriedly rushed to his son and asked. ¡°It¡¯s all because of that b*stard Leo. He killed us¡­..¡± Soon, Zac briefly exined everything that happened on the mountain top. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As Liam was listening to Zac, a light shed as Zen appeared. Like everyone, he was also surprised that he was still alive and soon cursed Leo. ¡°Damn it¡­I am going to kill him.¡± Seeing that everyone from his family¡¯s group was killed by Leo, Liam swore to kill him once he got out. ¡°Sorry, Family head Liam. Our talents were sealed and Leo had top-notchbat skills. We were unable to protect Zen and Zac.¡± Dominic apologized to Liam. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Before Liam could say anything, Zen replied, ¡°I was surprised your hand to handbat skills were much better than Zander. Why don¡¯t you continue to work for my family?¡± Before entering the [Treasurend], Zen thought Dominic and others were only rank 6 heroes; however, only after entering the [Treasurend] did he learn that they were all rank 7 heroes. Moreover, he was satisfied with their sense of duty. So, he liked to hire them for some more time. ¡°It will cost you a lot.¡± Even though Dominic would ept that offer without any pay, he didn¡¯t want to raise suspicions. So, he informed them it would cost them a lot to hire them. ¡°Money is not a problem.¡± Zen nodded his head and agreed without thinking much. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A few more seconds passed as Julia and Ryan appeared. ¡®This b*tch also got killed?¡¯ Zen and Zac were surprised to see Julia appear right after them because she was under the protection of Leo. So, there was no way someone could kill her. ¡®Gulp¡¯ As soon as she appeared, she saw that the elite talent upgrading stone was still inside her hands. Without thinking much, she swallowed it. After consuming the talent upgrading stone, it only took a few seconds for her to be a rank 7 hero. ¡°Capture her.¡± Coming out of their shocks, both Zen and Zac shouted at once. ¡°Ryan, stand behind me.¡± Since Ryan has a powerful attacking type talent, he decided to protect her. ¡°Ryan, there is no need for that.¡± ¡®Screech¡¯ While saying that, Julia summoned the rank 8 mutated beast ¡®Abyssal Eagle¡¯. ¡°What? She has a rank 8 mutated beast pet?¡± ¡°It looks more powerful than regr rank 8 mutated beasts.¡± ¡°I wonder where she got it from.¡± Everyone, including Ryan, was surprised by the sudden appearance of the enormous eagle. ¡°I was lucky enough to enter the [Treasure room] and got a rank 8 pet.¡± Julia lied about where she got the huge eagle from without any hesitation. ¡°Father, let¡¯s capture her. As long as we have her, that b*stard Leo would kneel in front of us.¡± Zen misunderstood that Leo liked Julia and would do anything for her. So, he asked his father to help him capture her. ¡°So what if you capture her? Do you think Leo will beg you?¡± In the next second, lights shed by as more than 40 participants appeared in front of the pir, and among them, Amy was the one who scoffed at Zen. ¡°Huh? What are you saying?¡± Zen frowned. ¡°Leo killed her without any heistation when I offered him something.¡± Z answered Zen¡¯s question as she silently informed everything to her father. ¡®What?¡¯ Theodore was shocked when he heard Z¡¯s words. ¡°Leave it. There is no need to fear that incident anymore. Even if everyone in the city knows about it, I don¡¯t care.¡± However, Theodore smiled and asked his daughter to not bother about that incident. ¡®Oh. Okay, father.¡¯ Z nodded her head and looked at Julia, ¡°However, I want them dead.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Theodore didn¡¯t even bother to ask the reason and nodded his head. ¡°Go and imprision them for betraying the group.¡± He looked at a rank 9 city guard behind him. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Since a rank 8 mutated beast protected Julia, Theodore sent a rank 9 hero. ¡°City leader, on what charges do you want to imprison them?¡± However, a female voice resounded in the surroundings, asking the city leader. ¡°Why do you care, Captain Valerie?¡± Looking at the fully equipped woman in front of Julia. The city leader frowned. Captain Valerie is the squad leader of the third-ranked mercenary squad in Phirie city. So, the City leader and Liam were surprised why she would want to protect Julia. ¡°Wait a second.¡± Valerie asked them to wait as she turned her head to Julia, who was a little bit anxious because of the Ambermane family and the City leader. ¡°Do you want to join my ¡®Graceful swans¡¯ mercenary squad?¡± Valerie asked Julia with a bright smile on her face. ¡°Me?¡± Julia was surprised by the sudden offer; however, she nodded her head without hesitation. ¡°Good. From now on, you are the 10 member of my ¡®Graceful swams¡¯ mercenary squad.¡± As soon as Julia agreed, Valerie announced it to everyone to rify that Julia was under her protection. ¡°Do you think you can protect her?¡± Hearing those words, Liam became silent; however, Theodore didn¡¯t think much as he asked Valerie with a smile. ¡°Of course. Because, I am a member of ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ and my squad is also a part of it, which makes Julia also a member of the organization.¡± Everyone was shocked to hear those words; however, Valerie continued with a smug look, ¡°If you still want to kill her, go ahead.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 72 Divine Comprehension Pill In the [Treasure room], ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo appeared in the familiar empty room and looked at the huge mirror in front of him. ¡®Click¡¯ Without wasting any time, he opened the [Gold] section. There were only three items in the [Gold] section; however, it was enough for Leo¡¯s heart to be anxious. Unless they belong to a powerful supreme hero, each one of those three items would create a bloodbath in the outside world. ¡­.. 1) War God¡¯s battle axe x 1 (500000 treasure points). 2) Divine Comprehension pill x 1 (500000 treasure points). 3) Fragment of the God stone x 1 (One million treasure points). ¡­.. ¡®If a fragment of the god stone was avable in the [Gold] section, what type of items were ced in the [tinum] and [Diamon] section?¡¯ When he thought about thest two sections of the [Treasure room], he could not help but get excited. ¡®For now, I will buy them all.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to check their information before buying them all.-. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the old spirit confirmed the purchase, the three items came out of the mirror and fell into his hands. ¡®Ding, Item Name:- War God¡¯s battle axe. Status:- Partially awakened soul. Grade:- Quasi-supreme grade. Effect:- 100 percent increase in the holder¡¯s strength, agility, stamina, and constitution. Skills:- Fatal force, Ultimate cleaver, Brutal strike, Titan strike, Lacerating slice. Owner:- None. Note:- The weapon will acknowledge a suitable master on its own. ¡®This is¡­an all-round weapon.¡¯ Since it was ced in the same section as the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯, he expected the weapon to be powerful. However, after seeing that it partially awakened a soul and had an overall effect, including five skills, Leo was utterly shocked. ¡®To bad, except for swords, I never used the battle-axes.¡¯ Looking at thest line, Leo knew he could never be the owner of the battle-axe. Why would a weapon choose someone who could not bring out its true potential? Unless you were a protagonist of a Web novel, chances of that happening were impossible. ¡®Too bad, the reality is harsh.¡¯ Leo liked the weapon; however, he was already satisfied with his sword ¡®Arcane silver¡¯. Next, Leo didn¡¯t check the information on the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯; instead, he wanted to know more about the pill. ¡®Ding, Item name:- Divineprehension pill. Grade:- Quasi-supreme grade. Effect:- Increases the gathering speed of the experience of the talents for a whole month by 10 times. ¡®What?¡¯ There was only one effect; however, it was enough to drop Leo¡¯s jaws with shock. ¡®If I had this pill in the past, I would have not run away from the Manticore king.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he thought back to one of his deadliest fights with the Manticore king, in which he chopped off the Manticore king¡¯s scorpion sting. ¡®My talents have been stagnant for too long, I need to find a good farming location and use this pill.¡¯ Leo decided to use the pill after finding a good ce filled with monsters. Compared to the mutated beasts, the monsters give more experience points in improving his talents. So, Leo always preferred to kill the monsters than mutated beasts. ¡®As for the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯, I can use its special effect once my ¡®Talent swallowing ability falls under cooldown.¡¯ Since the ability was not under cooldown, Leo could not use its special effect, and he didn¡¯t have any ns to use its regr effect. ¡®Ten million?¡¯ Leo raised his brows when he saw the treasure points needed to ess the new section. But the problem right now is that there were no other participants in the [Treasurend] except for him. ¡®It looks like it is time for me to work hard.¡¯ So, he could only gain the treasure points by killing the monster and mutated beasts in the [Treausend]. Previously, he had to wait, and the participants would appear before him to get killed; however, now, he had to do the menialbour. ¡®I must say, the old remnant spirit was not bad, he was able to stop me from extorting the other participants of their treasure points.¡¯ Leo felt like the old man had already seeded in stopping him from extorting others. ¡®If the [tinum] section needs 10 million, then I wonder how many treasure points I need for the [Diamond] section.¡¯ He felt tired just from thinking treasure points needed to ess the final section of the [Treasure room]. ¡®Wait a second¡­didn¡¯t he say there is a final round? I wonder if he asks me to fight a rank 9 monster or mutated beast. They will give so many treasure points, right?¡¯ Leo was a little excited when he thought about it and disappeared from the [Treasure room]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo appeared on the mountain top, and the old remnant spirit was already waiting for him. ¡°I am ready for the final round.¡± As soon as he saw the old remnant spirit, Leo said he was ready for the final round. The old man nodded his head, and with a wave of his hand, they started flying in the air. The old man revealed an evil smile. ¡°Huh? There is another round?¡± Leo raised his brows. However, before he could ask, the old remnant spirit replied, ¡®What is this old spirit nning?¡¯ Leo was suspicious of the old man; however, when he remembered all the items he had bought, he felt there was nothing to worry about. ¡®In the worst case, I will die here and get teleported out; however, if I am lucky enough, I might get even more good items.¡¯ Leo was looking forward to seeing what the old spirit was nning. ¡®Huh? Defeating monster kings?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and asked, ¡°What will be their strength?¡± The old remnant spirit informed Leo that the possibility of facing all rank 9 monster kings was very low. ¡®He loves me to the core. So, of course, he will send all the rank 9 monster kings.¡¯ However, Leo doubted that and knew that the old spirit would be sending all rank 9 monster kings for him. After exining what he needed to exin, the old remnant spirit pushed Leo to the ground. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 73 Two-Headed Zombie King ¡°Keke¡­human..human¡­let¡¯s fight.¡± In front of Leo was a one-meter monster that looked like a devil with two bat wings on its back. It hovered around Leo and asked him to fight with it. The old spirit¡¯s voice resounded in his head and continued saying, ¡®This old son of a spirit.¡¯ Leo could not help but scoff at the old remnant spirit. ¡°Why not? Let¡¯s fight.¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t have any intention of leaving the [Treasurend] without taking the items from the [tinum] and the [Diamond] sections of the [Treasure room]. So, he nodded and quickly checked the information on it. ¡®Ding, Monster name:- Forest Gremlin King Strength:- Rank 9 Information:- It belongs to the weakest monster race; however, it is still much more powerful than rank 8 monster kings. ¡®Looks like I am really quite lucky.¡¯ After checking the information, Leo could not help but agree with the old remnant spirit. ¡®Anyway, I should not waste much time on these monster kings. I should hurry up and go out of the [Treasurend] to check on Julia.¡¯ Even though Leo knew nothing would happen to Julia as long as she announced her hero rank, he was still worried. So, he decided to finish the fight quickly.-. [Teleportation] Leo observed the flying pattern of the Forest Gremlin King and teleported himself behind it. [Mighty Combustion] Grabbing both wings, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time using his newly mutated talent. ¡®Boom¡¯ Soon, the mes shot out of Leo¡¯s body and engulfed the Gremlin king. [Mighty Combustion] Before the smoke could even get cleared, Leo used his talent again. Since his [Mighty Combustion] was at level 8, he feared it might not be enough to kill a rank 9 monster king. ¡®Crisp¡¯ However, he was wrong about it. The Forest Gremlin King was the weakest monster that relied on its fast movement speed. So, it didn¡¯t have much defence. In the first usage of his [Mighty Combustion] itself, the Gremlin King died, and with the second time, its entire body turned into a crispy shell. ¡­. ¡®What the¡­his talent¡­it is at level 8?¡¯ When the old remnant spirit saw that Leo¡¯sbustion talent was at level 8, he was shocked. Unlike the other participants, the old remnant spirit could not sense Leo¡¯s talents, not to mention their level. Even though previously he used thebustion talents a few times, at the time, the power he emitted was level 6. So, he thought it was level 6. However, only now did he realise that Leo was hiding the level of his talent very well. ¡®So, he is a level 8 Hero. Since he is less than 25 years old but already a rank 8 hero, can I go easy on him?¡¯ When the old man realized that Leo was a rank 8 hero, he started thinking of something else. ¡®Since my [Treasurend] opened means, the time for them to enter this new world must be near. Should I help me a little and make him a powerful rank 9 hero?¡¯ ¡®As long as he bes a rank 9 hero, he could use that item to be the Supreme hero.¡¯ Until now, the old remnant spirit wanted to kick Leo out of the [Treasurend] and remove the limitations of his [Treasurend] for others to enter. From the beginning, the old remnant spirit was not nning to give ess to thest two sections of the [Treasure room] to the participants. Instead, he searched for some young hero with the potential to be a supreme hero. Why he was doing all these for the humans was still unknown. ¡®He not only had good talents and battle prowess but he was cunning. As long as he bes a supreme hero, this world could pass its first assessment.¡¯ The old spirit stared at Leo; however, he still had some concerns about Leo¡¯s character. ¡­. ¡®Huh? Two million treasure points?¡¯ Leo was surprised with such a huge amount of treasure points. ¡®It only took a minute and I already got two million treasure points. Good start.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the round and muttered, ¡®As long as I kill two more monster kings, I can gain ess to the [Treasure room].¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the second monster king appeared in front of Leo. ¡®A zombie?¡¯ There were many movies about zombies. So, Leo instantly recognized the second monster king with its appearance. However, the zombie had two heads and four hands instead of one head. It was wearing battle armour and even wielding four swords as it ran towards Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ It appeared in front of Leo in an instant, and he barely dodged it using his ¡®teleportation¡¯ talent. ¡°Damn it¡­who said that Zombies can¡¯t run fast? They should be killed.¡± Leo cursed as he looked at the two-headed Zombie King running at an incredible speed. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Teleport¡¯ Once again, the zombie appeared in front of Leo and attacked him with four swords. ¡®I think the ground is very in. Let¡¯s fill the ground with holes.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo ced his hands on the ground, and soon, deep holes started appearing on the ground. ¡®Putong¡¯ To Leo¡¯s luck, the two-headed zombie king fell into a hole, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ However, the zombie used its swords to climb out of the hole and again rushed toward Leo. ¡®Damn it¡­it even got intelligence.¡¯ Generally, it was said that Zombies don¡¯t have intelligence; however, the one Leo was fighting right now had intelligence. ¡®However, its speed is not fast anymore.¡¯ It was still fast; however, it decreased by halfpared to its earlier speed. ¡®I heard Zombies can be easily killed with fire. Let¡¯s test it out whether that theory was right or not.¡¯ With a slight smile, Leo condensed a fireball and threw it at the iing two-headed zombie king. ¡®Boom¡¯ The zombie dodged the fireball; however, Leo threw another one. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ Once again, it dodged the fireball with its speed. ¡®Looks like the fire really makes them anxious.¡¯ Even though it kept on dodging the fireballs, Leo learned that the Zombies hate fires. ¡®Time to go all out [Earth Maniption] [Teleportation], [Mighty Combustion] In a single go, Leo used three talents. Two sand hands came out of the ground and held the zombie¡¯s legs. After that, Leo appeared behind the zombie and released the fire waves out of his body. ¡®Second time¡¯ ¡®Third time.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t stop until he received the old spirit¡¯s voice. ¡®Phew¡­finally I killed another rank 9 monster king.¡¯ Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he copsed to the ground. ¡®Ding, The host has over exhausted himself in using his talents. ¡®Ding, The ¡®Forbidden curse¡¯ on the host¡¯s body is acting up again. ¡®Ding, Please take a break for at least three hours before using them again. Soon, the system notifications rang in his head. ¡®Damn this ¡®Forbidden curse¡¯.¡¯ Looking at the sky, Leo cursed the ¡®Forbidden curses¡¯ that were stopping him from using his full power. ¡®Roar¡¯ As Leo was lying on the ground, the third monster king appeared in the distance as it rushed toward Leo. ¡®Sigh¡­It looks like I can¡¯t take the items from thest two sections.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 74 Truth Behind The Slave Seal ¡®Thud¡¯ The Hobgoblin rushed toward Leo with a huge battle axe in his hands. ¡®Sigh¡­It looks like I can¡¯t take the items from thest two sections.¡¯ Leo sighed as he knew the time hade for him to get out of the [Treasurend]. Humans could not use their talents unlimited times in a row. Depending on the power of the talent and experience of the human, there would be a limit. After that limit, they have to wait for a few minutes to a few hours, depending on their recovery speed. Even though Leo has two rank 9 talents and could use his talents so many times without worrying about exhaustion, he could not overexert himself because of the forbidden curse. Otherwise, his soul gets destroyed. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ When the Hobgoblin was about to swing his battle axe to make Leo into two, the old remnant spirit appeared out of thin air and stopped the battle axe. A single word from him, the rank 9 Hobgoblin King, disappeared into nothingness. -. Next, he looked at Leo with a slight smile and said Leo had passed the round. ¡®Huh? Did my brain get affected along with my soul?¡¯ Leo was confused and thought he saw things because the old remnant spirit would never say those words to him even if he won, much less when he didn¡¯t even kill the third monster king. Seeing the confused look on Leo¡¯s face, the old man shouted. ¡°No. I am getting up.¡± Leo came out of his thoughts and hurriedly stood up. Even though he was tired, Leo didn¡¯t have any problem walking on his own. ¡°Old man, how did I¡­.¡± ¡®Zap¡¯ ¡°What are you doing? Go away.¡± Just as Leo asked about how he passed the round, the old remnant spirit ripped his shirt, making Leo hurriedly take a few steps back. Looking at the burnt circr seal on Leo¡¯s chest, the old spirit nodded and muttered, ¡°Huh?¡± Leo frowned when he heard the old spirit¡¯s words and corrected, ¡°Old man, even though it was because of humans I ended up as a ve in the past, this ve seal is not ced by humans. It is the manticore king.¡± The old man scoffed at Leo and continued, ¡°What?¡± Leo was shocked by the old man¡¯s words because until now, he thought the Manticore King had enved him. Another reason he found the old man¡¯s words hard to believe was that humans were yet to master the techniques rted to enving. Soon, the old man sighed because he knew how could humans of this world create ve seals with such mastery. ¡°Sir Odren, please help me in finding that b*stard who ced this ve on me.¡± Thest line from the old spirit made Leopletely believe his words regarding the ve seal. So, he asked the old man to help him. The old remnant spirit was shocked by Leo¡¯s words and asked how he knew his name. ¡°I have my ways, Sir Odren.¡± Leo could not tell him about the system. So, he changed the subject and spoke, ¡°Back when I killed the ve master, I didn¡¯t know I can remove this seal with his blood.¡± ¡°After that, from a friend, I learned that I can also remove the ve seal with the blood of the one who ced this ve on me.¡± ¡°So, please help me find that b*stard who ced this ve seal and sold me off.¡± Leo requested the old spirit to help him. Previously, Leo thought that Manticore King ced the ve seals on humans, monsters, and the mutated beasts before selling them back to organizations like ¡®ck suits¡¯. So, that¡¯s why he was hunting the manticores and destroying their territories. However, he realized a human mastermind was behind the Manticore King and enving his fellow humans. ¡®How could he enve his fellow humans? What¡¯s more, when I got this ve seal, I was only 12 years old.¡¯ Whenever he thought a human was behind this envement racket, Leo could not help but be angry. ¡°It¡¯s been five years.¡± The old man asked Leo in a calm tone. A ve Marker is the one who originally ces the ve seals on someone before selling them off to others for money or other things. ¡°It will. I have witnessed¡­.¡± Before Leo could finish his words, the old spirit exined to Leo that it would not work. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo frowned at the spirit¡¯s words because it worked on the rank 7 Earth Griffin. So, he found it hard to believe and exined his experience rting to the Earth Griffin ¡°Second enver master?¡± ¡®Oh.¡¯ Finally, Leo understood andpletely believed the old remnant spirit¡¯s words. ¡°So, what should I do now?¡± Since the ve marker had be useless to him, Leo asked the old remnant spirit how to resolve the ve seal on his body. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 75 Illusion God Alister The old remnant spirit replied in a serious tone which was enough to scare away the regr youngsters. ¡°I am willing to.¡± However, Leo was not a regr youngster as he underwent more trials and tribtions than anyone in this world. Just the pain from the ¡®Forbidden Curse¡¯ was enough to make almost anyonemit suicide; however, Leo didn¡¯t give up on his life; instead, he fought and still fighting for it. When he saw Leo¡¯s determined eyes, Odren startedughing and said, ¡°What? There is an item to break this ve seal?¡± Leo¡¯s eyes brightened when he heard the old remnant spirit¡¯s words and asked in an excited tone. The old remnant spirit scoffed at Leo. ¡°Okay. What should I do to get my hands on that item?¡± Even though Leo didn¡¯t know what item was waiting inside the [Diamond] section, he wanted it.-. Even though Leo never showed a pained expression on his face, he suffered unbearable pain from the ¡®Forbidden curse¡¯. Because of this pain, Leo helped the Earth Griffin and took in the abyssal eagle as he knew how painful it was for them. The old remnant spirit nodded his head and asked Leo. ¡°It will take thre hours; however, if I have to return to my peak condition, I need six hours.¡± Since the old man talked about life-death, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to mention six hours to get to his peak condition. The old man nodded his head and asked him to get some rest. ¡°What about the items from the [tinum] section? Can I buy them?¡± Suddenly, Leo asked the old man, who nearly made him cough blood. The old spirit shook his head and exined, ¡°Really? What is that round about?¡± Leo hurriedly asked the old man about it. Even though he knew that he could not die in the [Treasurend], Leo didn¡¯t doubt the old man¡¯s words when he mentioned that Leo might lose his life to get his hands on the final item. The old remnant spirit didn¡¯t say much before disappearing from his ce. ¡®I wonder what kind of life and death situation I will be facing in this so-calledst round?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and decided to strengthen himself a little. ¡®Let¡¯s start with the Earth innate elemental spirit fruit.¡¯ Soon, Leo sat down on the ground and started eating the brown coloured fruit. ¡­¡­ In the [Treasure room], ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The old remnant spirit appeared in front of the mirror and injected a small portion of his energy into it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Two projections appeared above the mirror as soon as he injected his energy. ¡°Have you finally decided to host the final round?¡± One projection had a dragon head, whereas the other had a white mask on his face. They asked the old remnant spirit with excited looks as soon as they appeared. ¡°Yes. Prepare your participants and let¡¯s conduct the final round for the [Diamond] section of the [Treasure room].¡± The old remnant spirit nodded. ¡°Odren, my participant is always ready.¡± ¡°My participants are also ready.¡± The two projections were excited as they said their participants were ready. ¡°But, my participant is not.¡± Odren scoffed at them and asked them to wait for six hours. ¡°We have waited for years and waiting for another six hours is not a big thing.¡± ¡°Yes. As long as weplete this round, we can return back to our masters.¡± The other projections didn¡¯t have any problems waiting for another six hours. ¡°By the way, did you exin the rules to your participants? It will be a real life and death match like our masters nned. The winner gets the item from the [Diamond] section.¡± Odren was not as excited as them as he calmly asked the two projections. ¡°Yes. After buying the items from the previous sections, they became curious about the final item in the [Diamond] section.¡± ¡°My participant is also the same. However, I am getting annoyed with his tant threats. He is using his grandfather¡¯s name to threaten me.¡± The two projections replied with a calm look. ¡°Alister, make a small reality space between the three [Treasurends]. The three participants will fight each other in that reality domain.¡± In the next second, the dragon head projection asked the masked projection. ¡°Is it really necessary to put them through a life and death fight? My partcipant is really in need of that item. Can¡¯t we make an exception?¡± After hesitating a bit, the old remnant spirit asked the two projections. ¡°These are the orders from our masters. Sorry, we can¡¯t make an exception.¡± The two projections didn¡¯t hesitate as they replied to the old remnant spirit. ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s meet after six hours in that ¡®Reality Domain¡¯.¡± The two projections disappeared as soon as they finished their words, making the old remnant spirit shake his head in disappointment. ¡°I hope Leo can win against their participants and get that item. This human world¡¯s future depends on him.¡± The old remnant spirit muttered to himself as he recalled the memories left behind by the main body in its head. ¡­ ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Earth Maniption] has failed. As for Leo, he didn¡¯t know that the old remnant spirit had finished its meeting with the remnant spirits of the other [Treasurends]; instead, he was a little disappointed to receive the system notification. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 76 Space Manipulation ¡®Sigh¡­it looks like I have used up all my luck in thest few days.¡¯ Looking at the system notification, Leo sighed and shook his head in disappointment. ¡®Let it be. Since it failed, this innate space elemental spirit fruit will not fail, right?¡¯ In the next second, a ck-coloured fruit appeared in his hands, and Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he ate it in a few bits. After eating an innate elemental spirit fruit, there was only a small chance of failure. So, Leo was confident that his [Teleportation] talent would mutate as he had already experienced a failure. ¡®Herees the pain.¡¯ Gritting his teeth, Leo endured the pain he had already gotten used to. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host. Your talent [Teleportation] got mutated into a [Space maniption]. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was not shocked by the sudden system notification; instead, he was shocked by his mutated talent. Generally, the element maniption talents were rare, and Leo already had collected [Earth Maniption]. Moreover, among all the elements, Space and Time maniption only existed in the records left behind by the otherworldly Gods. ¡®It looks like I haven¡¯t used up all my luck.¡¯-. Leo calmed himself down and hurriedly checked the changes in the effects of his mutated talent. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Space Maniption (level 8) Effects: 1) The user can teleport anywhere within a 10-kilometer radius. 2) The user can distort the space within a 10-meter radius to dodge the attacks or create a hidden space to temporarily hide. 3) The user can create a dimensional portal space to store the non-living things. Note:- Another effect will be unlocked when the talent reaches 9. ¡®As expected of the talent rted to the space element. If I keep on using it, I can create my own effects.¡¯ Leo was not surprised much after reading the two new effects of his mutated talent because he was already expecting those effects. Moreover, Leo was nning to create his own effects in the future because the element maniption talents could have endless effects. ¡®I just need to get used to that talent, and I can do it.¡¯ With a slight smile, Leo muttered, ¡®Open¡¯. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, a small portal appeared beside him. ¡®It¡¯s quite useful, and the space inside the dimension seems unlimited.¡¯ Since he was the one who created the dimensional pocket, Leo could feel the space inside it, and he sensed there was no limit. ¡®With this newly mutated talent, I can teleport, dodge, hide and carry a lot of stuff. I can face my enemies without worrying about getting ambushed with this talent.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he recalled all the powerful enemies he had made during the past few years. ¡®Also, if my guess is not wrong, that ver Marker must be a supreme hero, or at least he must have be one; after all, it¡¯s been 10 years since he ced the ve seal on me.¡¯ ¡®Once I resolve my issue with Phirie city, I wille for you.¡¯ Leo thought about someone who made him live a hellish life for thest ten years. ¡®Anyway, for now, let¡¯s check the potential of the [Space Maniption].¡¯ It¡¯s been a while since his [Teleportation] talent had already reached level 8, and ording to the note, a new effect would be unlocked. Leo wanted to see how much experience was needed to reach level 9. So, he checked the potential of the talent. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Space Maniption (level 8) Potential:- 0/100 Note:- The previous experience of the talent has been used during its mutation. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have any words after learning that the experience had already been used for the mutation. ¡®Nevermind. The talent became more powerful than before and it will not be a problem for me to gather the experience for it.¡¯ With that thought, Leo rested to recover his energy. ¡­. In some unknown ce, ¡°Embar, did you sense the worry on Odren¡¯s face?¡± ¡°Yes. Even though he tried to hide it, we knew him for years. So, of course, we can figure it out.¡± ¡°If I am right, that barren world might be having its assessment soon, and he wants to use that item in [Diamond] section to help them.¡± ¡°I think he has grown very attached to that barren world¡­sigh.¡± ¡°He might be putting his hopes on his participants; however, don¡¯t you think it is impossible for him to win against our participants?¡± Two projections were talking to one another about the old remnant spirit. One of them had a dragon head and a human body covered in dragon scales, whereas the other had a thin humanoid body with a white face mask. ¡°But, rules are rules. I sincerely hope his participant can win as I would like to visit that barren world one more time in the future.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡­. Time continued to pass, and five hours passed by in the [Treasurend] in a sh. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The old remnant spirit appeared in front of Leo. ¡°You are here? I am ready.¡± Leo had already recovered to his pique state during the past five hours because of the residue energies from the innate elemental fruits. So, when he saw the old remnant spirit, he became excited and informed he was ready. The old remnant spirit held Leo¡¯s hand and asked onest time before the final round started. ¡°Old man, even though I am not ready to die yet, I can¡¯t give up on this oppurtunity.¡± Leo was serious as he didn¡¯t think much about replying to the old man. ¡°Also, I will rather die fighting for this oppurtunity rather than dying in my sleep because of the pain.¡± At the same time, Leo didn¡¯t forget to say which death he preferred more. The old remnant spirit liked Leo¡¯s determination and nodded. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, the old remnant spirit and Leo disappeared from their ces. ¡­ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 77 Zorak, The Frost Devil ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo and the old remnant spirit appeared on in ground. Around them, as far as his eye could see, there was not a single tree or boulder. ¡°Wee to the ¡®Reality Domain¡¯.¡± As Leo checked his surroundings, he saw a white-masked man wee them. ¡°So, you must be Odren¡¯s participant. Not bad.¡± From the side, a humanoid dragon walked toward him and nodded his dragon head. ¡®Who are they?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t dare to use the system to check on them because they seemed to be in the same league as the old remnant spirit. ¡°Are your participants ready?¡± Odren asked them in a calm tone. ¡°Yes. They have arrived just in time.¡± The Dragon head and the White mask nodded as they called their participants. ¡°Participant Hermax. I am from the Grade 3 Golden Titan World.¡± Soon, a human five meters in height walked toward them and introduced himself to everyone. ¡®He is not a human. He is a Golden Titan.¡¯ Even though it was Leo¡¯s first time meeting a Golden Titan, he could instantly recognize the race because he had read about them in the records while searching for ways to break his ve seal. ¡°Particpant Zorak, I am from the Grade 2 Frost Devil Wolrd.¡±-. In the next second, another participant walked from behind the Masked remnant spirit and introduced himself just like the Golden Titan. ¡®Is he a frost devil?¡¯ It was also Leo¡¯s first time seeing a Frost Devil, and unlike the Golden Titan, he had never seen them even in the records. ¡°Particpant Leo.¡± Leo only told his name as he didn¡¯t know what grade his world was. ¡°Huh? Participant Leo, what is your world¡¯s grade?¡± Zorak, as the frost devil, humans were his arch enemies from ancient times. Nevertheless, he suppressed his urge to kill Leo and asked what his world¡¯s grade was. ¡°Hm¡­I don¡¯t know.¡± Leo shrugged his hands as he replied with a calm tone. ¡°Huh? You don¡¯t know?¡± Zorak frowned and replied, ¡°So, you must be from a grade 0 world that has yet to receive the assessment.¡± There was a hint of mockery in his words, and it was clear that Zorak looked down on Leo. ¡®Huh? Grade 0? Yet to receive the assessment?¡¯ Leo frowned as he didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. ¡®He is clearly looking down on me because I am from the grade 0 world. Since he is from a grade 2 world, he must be feeling high and mighty.¡¯ However, he could understand something from his words. ¡°Leo, I will exin about the grades of the world after this round. For now, focus on winning the round.¡± The old remnant spirit took a look at Zorak before replying to Leo. ¡°Okay.¡± The most important thing for Leo right now was to win the round. As for the grades of the world, he didn¡¯t care much. So, he nodded after hearing the old remnant spirit¡¯s words. ¡°Haha¡­winning the round? Can a participant from a Grade 0 world win this round? This is the biggest joke I have ever heard.¡± Zorak could not hold back his words when he heard the old remnant spirit¡¯s words. As for Hermax, he remained silent without any expression. In his eyes, both Leo and Zorak were non-existent as they belonged to lower graded worlds than him. ¡°¡­¡± The three remnant spirits were dissatisfied with Zorak¡¯s words; however, they knew he was not wrong. ¡°The final round is not between the worlds. It is between the participants.¡± The dragon remnant spirit spoke to stop Zorak from speaking more. ¡°In this round you will be fighting one-on-one with your fellow participants,¡± After finishing his words, he looked at the masked remnant spirit. ¡°Treasure points¡± As soon as the masked remnant spirit said those two words, numbers appeared above the heads of the three participants. The old remnant spirit announced the treasure points in the ounts of the three participants. Looking at the three participants, the old remnant spirit exined about the final round. ¡®So, I will be fighting this frost devil?¡¯ Leo silently thought and checked the information on Zorak to see what type of talent he awakened. ¡®Ding, Assessment Name: Zorak. Race: Frost Devil. Strength: Rank 9 Devil. Talents: 1) Ice Burst (level 9). 2) Absolute Devour (level 4). 3) Devil transformation (level 9). 4) Fireball (level 8). 5) Earthquake (Level 6). ¡®What the hell?¡¯ When he saw that the frost devil had awakened five talents, he was shocked to the core. ¡®Even with the ¡®Talent swallowing system¡¯, so far, I was able to gain six talents. Damn it¡­ is it so easy to awaken the talents in grade 2 world?¡¯ Leo frowned as he wondered whether the grade of the world had anything to do with the number of talents awakened. ¡®Ding, Even though the world¡¯s grade helps its residents awaken good talents and increase their levels, that was not the case for the frost devil named Zorak. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was surprised by the sudden system notification. Normally, the system would not bother to say anything unless it was rted to something important. So, he waited for the system to continue with its exnation. ¡®Ding, It might have something to do with the ¡®Absolute Devour¡¯. ¡®Absolute Devour?¡¯ For some reason, the system could not show the full information on Zorak¡¯s talents. So, Leo didn¡¯t have a way to confirm the system¡¯s words. ¡®Ding, Currently, the system is not powerful enough to see the information on the talents belonging to the grade 2 world¡¯s residents. Once it gave the reason, the system didn¡¯t say anything and returned to its usual calmness. The old remnant spirit shouted aloud, making Leoe out of his thoughts and focus on the fight. ¡°I can kill him even if I was half-asleep.¡± Zorak replied to the old remnant spirit while looking at Leo. ¡°I am ready.¡± As for Leo, he casually nodded as he prepared a n to defeat Zorak. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 78 Fighting the Frost Devil ¡°Why don¡¯t you go first? Otherwise, you will not even get to use your talents.¡± Zorak never considered Leo his opponent as he asked Leo to go after him. ¡°Okay.¡± With a clear nod, Leo nodded his head. [Space maniption] Leo used [Space maniption] to disappear from his ce without wasting his time. However, he didn¡¯t re-appear, making Zorak frown. ¡°Haha¡­looks like you are scared already.¡± Nevertheless, Zorak didn¡¯t waste his chance to mock and startedughing aloud. ¡°Is that so?¡± [Fireball] As he was mocking Leo, Zorak heard a calm voice beside his ears; however, he was sted off into the distance before he could do anything. <¡­> The old remnant spirit didn¡¯t reply to the other remnant spirits¡¯ words and focused on the fight. ¡°A barbarian from a barren world only knows how to sneak attack.¡± Even though Zorak received Leo¡¯s fireball from such a close distance, other than a small burntyer on his skeletal armour, it didn¡¯t do much damage. However, that doesn¡¯t mean Zorak was happy with it; instead, he was angry that Leo was able to st him with a fireball.-. ¡°Are there any rules saying that I can¡¯t sneak attack?¡± Leo mocked Zorak as he walked out of his hidden space. ¡°To defeat you, I can use my non-elemental talent.¡± As the frost devil, Zorak excels in the ice-type attacks; however, he wanted to prove that Leo was not worth using his elemental attacks. Moreover, he could not take the mocking of a human from a grade 0 world. [Fireball] Unlike Leo¡¯s fireball, which was the effect of the [Mighty Combustion], Zorak¡¯s fireball was a talent itself. So, it looked much more powerful than Leo¡¯s fireball despite belonging to the same level. ¡°Burn to ashes.¡± After condensing the fireball, Zorak released it at Leo. [Earthquake] At the same time, Zorak didn¡¯t want Leo to escape once again. So, used his other non-elemental talent to make Leo lose his bnce by creating an earthquake. [Earth Maniption] Earlier, Leo wanted to test his [Space Maniption] talent, and that¡¯s why he was hidden inside the space he created. However, he felt Zorak was not powerful except for having multiple talents. ¡®So what if he has five talents? I have six talents.¡¯ Coupled with his battle experiences and intelligence, Leo felt it was not a problem for him to defeat Zorak. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Zorak¡¯s earthquake didn¡¯t reach Leo because his control of the earth was much greater than Zorak¡¯s because of his talent. Moreover, a multyered mud wall rose from the ground blocking the iing fireball. ¡®Boom¡¯ The huge explosion urred; however, nothing much happened except a few cracks on the mud wall. ¡®He is not special.¡¯ ¡®He is just a nobody from a grade 0 world.¡¯ [Fireball] [Fireball] Zorak frowned when he noticed Leo had three talents; however, he didn¡¯t want to ept that Leo was powerful. Soon, he released one fireball after another without any gap. ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Rumble¡¯ However, Leo casually summoned a new mud wall or repaired the existing mud wall depending on the damage. ¡°Are all frost devils this dumb or are you an exception?¡± Standing from the other side of the mud walls, Leo mocked Zorak. Since Zorak was mocking him from the beginning, Leo also did the same whenever he got the chance to anger Zorak. ¡®No matter how powerful someone is, if they lose their rationale, then that power is useless.¡¯ It was one of the lessons Leo learned from his experience. ¡°Damn you¡­I want to go easy on you because of your grade 0 world.¡± Zorak could not control his anger anymore when he heard those words because, as the son of the Frost devil king of the Frost devil world, no one said such words to him. And now, a nobody from a grade 0 world called him ¡®Dumb¡¯. [Fireball] [Fireball] Soon, Zorak rushed towards the mud wall while releasing more and more fireballs. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After reaching the mudwall, Zorak jumped over the mud wall before using his most powerful talent. [Ice burst] Hundreds of sharp icicles formed around Zorak¡¯s body, sting out in every direction. ¡®Huh? Where is he?¡¯ After using his talent, Zorak realized that Leo was not behind the wall and hurriedly checked his surroundings. ¡°Instead of a frost devil, you should be called a Dump devil.¡± Like before, Zorak once again heard Leo¡¯s voice beside his ears, followed by a huge st. After the st, Leo again disappeared, making Zorak, who was on the ground, frustrated. ¡°Cough¡­stop hiding ande out and face me like a man.¡± Zorak coughed a mouthful of blood as he shouted at Leo. ¡°I am here.¡± [Mightybustion] ¡®Boom¡¯ Once again, Leo appeared behind Zorak, and this time, he used the main effect of his talent, sting Zorak¡¯s armour into pieces. The masked remnant spirit informed Zorak that it was not a death match. ¡°No. It was a death match the moment he made me furious.¡± Zorak looked at the armour that turned into pieces and replied to the masked remnant spirit. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to use this talent against him. It looks like he is so powerful for a grade 0 world.¡± Finally, Zorak epted that Leo was powerful and used another talent that he was supposed to be used only for emergencies. ¡®It is a matter of my pride. So, of course, it is an emergency.¡¯ Zorak had already lost his rationale, and there was only one thing in his mind: it was to kill Leo at any cost. [Devil transformation] Soon, Zorak¡¯s body started growing from three meters in height to thirty meters. The transformed Zorak looked like a skeletal devil filled with ice inside the ck skeleton. With the appearance of the devil, the entire surroundings turned cool. ¡®Kacha¡¯ The 30-meter devil already looked so powerful, and now even a sword appeared in its hand. ¡°Rarr¡± The huge frost devil looked at Leo and roared before stepping foot on Leo. ¡°Just because you have be tall doesn¡¯t mean you can be powerful.¡± Since Leo had already checked Zorak¡¯s talent, he was ready for it. So, he was not surprised and casually dodged the devil¡¯s foot. ¡°Rarr¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Huh? Looks like you are more intelligent in this formpared to before.¡¯ Seeing that the devil was swinging its sword at the ce he re-appeared, Leo praised it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t forget to dodge that huge sword. ¡®Rarr¡¯ ¡®How can it move so fast with a body of that size?¡¯ The huge devil was not giving any time for Leo to use his talents and kept attacking him without any rest. ¡°Fine¡­let me summon your opponent with your size.¡± Leo teleported very far from the devil and used [Call of the Undead]. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, the ground shook a little as a fifty-meter tall undead humanoid monster came out of the ground. ¡°What? He had another talent?¡± The remnant spirits and Hermax were shocked when they saw Leo summon an undead monster. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 79 [Bonus chapter] Swallowing a Special Talent ¡®This brat is hiding another talent.¡¯ The old remnant spirit was shocked. <¡­> For some reason, the old remnant spirit could not speak even when the other two spirits were talking so much about Leo. ¡®Interesting. It looks like I don¡¯t have to hold back anymore.¡¯ The golden titan Hermax revealed a satisfied smile. ¡­. ¡°Rar¡± The monster that Leo summoned was the strongest undead being he could summon. Before it became an undead being, it used to be a rank 9 monster king, and it was known for its brute strength. Leo nearly lost his life while fighting the Ancient goliath king, and if not for thebined efforts of his two shadow vampires, he would have been unable to kill it. ¡°I will leave the devil to you.¡± Leo said in a calm tone, looking at the 50-meter undead monster in front of him. ¡°Roarr¡± The ancient goliath king roared in, acknowledging Leo¡¯s order before throwing a powerful punch at the frost devil. ¡®Kacha¡¯-. The 30-meter frost devil tried to block the punch using its hands; however, the ancient goliath king destroyed its hands. ¡°Aargh¡± The frost devil roared in pain and released dense ice energy out of its body, nearly freezing the ancient goliath king. [Mighty Combustion] Leo knew that the ancient goliath king didn¡¯t have any other abilities other than strength. So, he released the heat wave to counter the ice energy released by the frost devil. ¡°Don¡¯t waste any time and finish the fight.¡± Seeing that the ancient goliath king became free, Leo ordered it to finish the fight. ¡°Roar¡± ¡®Kacha¡¯ The ancient goliath king¡¯s muscles bulged, and it gave the frost devil non-stop punches until its exoskeleton was destroyed. The frost devil waspletely helpless against the barrage of powerful punches from the ancient goliath king and fell to the ground and died. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the huge frost devil reverted to Zorak with no signs of any life. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead summon killed a rank 9 frost devil. Do you want to extract his talent? ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Talent Promoter] triggered. ¡®Ding, The host received 1000 promote points. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a Grade 2 world¡¯s being for the first time. The host will be rewarded with the title ¡®Devil Smasher¡¯. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Soon, Leo¡¯s head was filled with system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®I can extract the talent from him? Which means, his death is real.¡¯ Finally, Leo understood what the old remnant spirit meant earlier. ¡®Yes. I want to extract his talent.¡¯ Since he had already reset the cooldown time for his talent swallowing ability, Leo decided to extract the talent. ¡®As for the [Talent promoter] and the title [Devil Killer], I will check them shortly.¡¯ The important thing right now was to swallow Zorak¡¯s talent; however, he could not do it openly. ¡®I hope they won¡¯t ask me any questions.¡¯ Leo was worried that the three remnant spirits might see his talent swallowing ability. So, he silently moved the body to the hidden space created by the [Space maniption]. The dragon-headed remnant spirit announced the winner. ¡®Phew¡­it looks like they don¡¯t mind me taking his body.¡¯ Seeing that the remnant spirits were not talking about Zorak¡¯s body, Leo heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I want to take a rest.¡± Even though Leo was not tired from the earlier fight, he wanted to check out his rewards for killing Zorak. So, he decided to use his break to check the rewards. ¡­. Soon, Leo found a ce to sit down and asked the system, ¡®System, did you extract the talent?¡¯ ¡®Ding, The system detected multiple talents in the frost devil¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, Currently, the system can only extract one talent from one body. Please choose a single talent. ¡®Right! I forgot about it.¡¯ Soon, Leo thought about Zorak¡¯s talents and decided, ¡®I will choose the Absolute Devour.¡¯ Earlier, the system informed Leo that the reason behind Zorak¡¯s multiple talents must be because of the [Absolute Devour]. Even though other talents looked great, Leo felt [Absolute Devour] was a special talent. ¡®Finding the special talents is very difficult.¡¯ Leo knew how difficult it was to find special talents. So, he decided to swallow that talent. ¡®Ding, The talent [Absolue Devour] is extracted. Please swallow it. Since the body was in the hidden dimension, the remnant spirits could not see or sense anything. Moreover, they were busy with their discussion regarding Leo¡¯s battle prowess. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Leo swallowed the crystal extracted by the system from Zorak¡¯s body without wasting any time. ¡®Aargh¡¯ As soon as he swallowed it, Leo felt a much higher pain than the pain he used to feel when swallowing the talents in the past. ¡®As expected, this is a special talent.¡¯ Only a special talent would cause such pain, and Leo knew it already. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Absoutle Devour]. Please check the details. However, Leo received the system notification faster than he thought, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®Let¡¯s hope it is what I expect it is.¡¯ Leo could guess what the talent does from the name, and he hoped it to be right. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Absolute Devour (Level 1). Effect: 1) One percent chance of awakening the talents of the beings consumed by the user after killing them. 2) The talents awakened in this manner can be upgraded by consuming the beings killed by the user. More information: The user doesn¡¯t have to worry about consuming the beings because a devil¡¯s mouth will appear on the host¡¯s palm. Using that mouth, the user can eat as many beings as possible without worrying about bloating. ¡®As I expected, it is because of this talent, he was able to even awaken the non-elemental talents.¡¯ Even though it was only a one percent chance of awakening the talent, Leo knew how valuable the talent was. ¡®As long as I kill a hundred beings, I can get at least one talent. It was much easier to gain talentspared to my ¡®Talent swallowing ability¡¯ which has a long cooldown period of one year.¡¯ ¡®However, with my ability, I can get whatever talent I want; however, that is not the case with the [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Leopared his talent swallowing ability to the [Absolute Devour], and of course, his talent swallowing ability was superior. ¡®System, can you tell me why the frost devil has talents whereas the humanoid monsters in my world have skills?¡¯ Leo questioned the system. In his view, the frost devil was also a humanoid monster, but Zorak had talents instead of skills, unlike the monsters in his world. So, he asked the difference between the humanoid monsters in his world and the frost devil. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 80 [Bonus Chapter] Absolute Devour Earlier, when the system asked him about the extraction of Zorak¡¯s talents, he was not only surprised by the actual death in the [Treasurend] but also surprised that the system could extract the talent from the humanoid monsters. In the past, whenever he killed the humanoid monster, he tried to extract the talents of the monsters and the mutated beasts; however, the system said it could not extract their skills. So, after seeing that the system had sessfully extracted the talent from Zorak¡¯s body, Leo asked the system about it. ¡®Ding, The frost devils are not monsters, and they are beings with their own world. ¡®Ding, As for the monsters that the host encountered in the past, they didn¡¯t have their own worlds. Until they conquer or find a world, they will remain as monsters and can only have the skills just like the mutated beasts. ¡®Ding, Zorak is the frost devil from the frost devil world, whereas the wild monsters are living and gradually evolving in your world. That¡¯s the difference between Zorak and the monsters in your world. A series of system notifications appeared in Leo¡¯s head, exining a few things, and making Leo frown. ¡®If they don¡¯t have their worlds, where did theye from?¡¯ Even though his doubt regarding why the system was able to extract the talent from the Frost devil, it led to another question. ¡®Ding, For now, the system suggests the host focus on bing a Supreme Hero. Until then, the host doesn¡¯t have to learn about these things. Like always, the system asked him to focus on bing stronger and didn¡¯t answer his question.-. ¡®Even if they are wild monsters, they should have been born somewhere, right?¡¯ Leo noted this question in his head as he stopped worrying about it. ¡®Now, let¡¯s see what is the use of this so-called talent.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo checked one of the rewards he got from killing Zorak. ¡®Ding, Title name: Devil Smasher (Passive). Effect:- 1) 10 percent increase in the damage output against the devil race¡¯s beings. 2) 10 percent decrease in the physical damage received by the host from the devil race¡¯s beings. ¡®Oh. So, it is a mini version of the talent; however, it is aimed at particr beings.¡¯ After checking the effects of the [Devil Smasher], Leo concluded it was a mini talent and didn¡¯t think much. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to understand how [Talent Promoter] works.¡¯ Initially, Leo decided to check it after going out of the [Treasurend]; however, he was lucky enough to kill someone for real inside the [Treasurend]. Moreover, he got some Promote Points, and he wanted to see what he could do with them. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Talent Promoter. Current promote points: 1000. Talents promoted: 0/1. Note: At the current level, it can only promote one talent. ¡®Ding, Please select one of the basic level talents 1) Haunting of Ecstasy (level 1) 2) Absolute Devour (Level 1) ¡®I will go with [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Since Leo could only promote one talent at the current level, he directly selected [Absolute Devour]. ¡®As long as I increase the level of this talent, that percentage of awakening the consumed beings will increase for sure.¡¯ Leo silently thought and waited for the system¡¯s reply. ¡®Ding, Added level 1 talent [Absolute Devour] to the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The system detected that [Absolute Devour] is a special talent. It requires twice the number of [promote points] to upgrade its level. ¡®Ding, Upgrading [Absolute Devour] needs 2000 [promote points]. ¡®Ding, Insufficient [promote points]. Please gather another 1000 [promote points] before upgrading the [Absolute Devour]. As soon as he selected the talent, a series of system notifications appeared in his head. ¡®Oh. So, this is the unique method that the system mentioned. Excellent.¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t have enough [promote points] to upgrade the [Absolute Devour] to level 2, Leo was not disappointed. Instead, he was excited and finally understood what he had to do. ¡®As long as I kill monsters, mutated beasts, and even humans, the [Talent Promoter] will collect the [promote points] depending on their strength. Using those [promote points], I can upgrade my talent.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile when he thought about the usage of his [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Since I finished checking my rewards, it¡¯s time to prepare for my next match.¡¯ Next, Leo looked at Hermax, and he knew that as long as he defeated him, he could get ess to thest section of the [Treasure room]. ¡®With the treasure points I have right now, I can buy the items from the [tinum] section, but I need to get his 15 million treasure points to purchase the item from thest section.¡¯ After killing Zorak, Leo¡¯s treasure points increased to 16.5 million, and as long as he defeats or kills Hermax, he could finally break his ve seal. ¡®I need to go all out and defeat him at any cost.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t care whether Hermax was good or bad. Right now, Leo only wants to win the fight against Hermax at any cost. ¡®Ding, Name: Hermax. Race: Titan (Golden). Strength: Rank 9 Talents: Golden Titan Body, Golden Eyes, Unstoppable Punch. Note: All three talents are at level 9. Bloodline: Golden Titan King. ¡®What? He had three talents and all of them are at level 9?¡¯ Leo was shocked to see the information on Hermax, who seemed more monstrous than Zorak. Even though Zorak had five talents, only two of them had reached rank 9; however, Hermax had three talents that reached level 9. Moreover, it was easy to tell that Hermax excels in defense since he had a talent rted to the body. ¡®Also, it is my first time seeing a ¡®Bloodline¡¯ in others. I wonder what effect it provides him.¡¯ Leo frowned as he concluded, ¡®It looks like the fight with him will not be an easy one.¡¯ ¡­. One hour passed before Leo realized the old remnant spirit called Leo, whereas Hermax was already waiting for him. The remnant spirit reminded them that there were no rules and shouted, ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 81 [Bonus Chapter] Golden Eyes ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Unstoppable punch] As soon as the old remnant spirit finished his word, Hermax didn¡¯t waste any time and threw a barrage of punches at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo had already seen through Hermax¡¯s talents. So, he dodged them with his fast reaction. ¡°Just because you are from a grade 0 world doesn¡¯t mean I will go easy on you like that fool Zorak.¡± Hermax was surprised by Leo¡¯s reaction speed; however, he didn¡¯t think much as he increased the speed of his punches. ¡®He is faster than I thought.¡¯ When he heard Hermax¡¯s words, Leo raised his brows and saw his speed reach the next level. ¡®Teleport¡¯ Since Hermax seemed to excel in closebat, Leo didn¡¯t want to fight him at such a close range. So, Leo decided to teleport himself away from Hermax before attacking him. [Golden Eyes] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Even though Golden Titans excel in closebat, they were also good at thinking.-. From the earlier fight between Leo and Zorak, Hermax had already collected enough data about both Leo and Zorak, and at the same time, he also came up with a counter n for their moves. So, when Hermax saw Leo was using ¡®teleportation¡¯, he used his talent [Golden Eyes], which could see through anything, even space. ¡°Found you.¡± It only took less than a second for Hermax to find out where Leo would re-appeared. Without a second thought, he tapped on the ground and jumped at the ce where Leo would appear. ¡°Swoosh¡± As he expected, Leo appeared at the ce, and Hermax¡¯s fists powered up while he was still in mid-air. ¡®What the¡­how did he find my teleportation path?¡¯ Leo was shocked; however, he didn¡¯t have time to use [Space maniption] again in such a short time. [Earth Maniption] So, he could only create a multyered mud wall to block the iing Hermax. ¡°Boom¡± However, under Hermax¡¯s talent [Unstoppable Punch], the multyered mud wall didn¡¯t even stand a chance as it copsed when Hermax¡¯s fist touched the wall. After destroying the mud wall, his punch didn¡¯t stop; it evennded on Leo, which pushed him back more than 100 meters. ¡®Cough¡­He is powerful.¡¯ Leo coughed a mouthful of blood and looked at Hermax, shocked. His [Earth Maniption] talent was at level 9, and he even created a multyered wall. Not only did Hermax destroy the mud wall, but he was also pushed back 100 meters. So, of course, he was shocked. ¡°Admit defeat if you don¡¯t want to die.¡± Unlike Zorak, Hermax was not the type to kill others without a proper reason. So, he didn¡¯t forget to warn Leo, and even after his warning, if the other party didn¡¯t back down, he would no longer hold back anymore. ¡°Just because you pushed me 100 meters is not enough to make me admit my defeat.¡± How could Leo admit his defeat that easily? In the past, even when he was almost at the death door, Leo didn¡¯t give up on any of his fights except for one time. Moreover, right now, he could not even give up on this fight even if he lost his life because his life depends on it. ¡®I need to enter the [Diamond] section of the [Treasure room] and purchase the item.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and disappeared from his ce. ¡°Good. Since you don¡¯t want to admit defeat, I don¡¯t have to hold back my strength any longer.¡± Hermax revealed an excited smile and said, ¡°Do you think you can escape from my eyes?¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Hermax¡¯s eyes started glowing with golden light as he searched for Leo¡¯s re-appearance ce. ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, Hermax frowned because he could not find out where Leo would reappear. ¡®As I expected, he could only track my teleportation path with his [Golden Eyes] talent.¡¯ Leo looked at Hermax from the secret dimension he created to hide and silently noted down. Leo was still feeling pain all over his body from the earlier punch, and he wanted some time to recover from the injuries. So, he decided to hide, and at the same time, he wanted to figure out whether Hermax¡¯s [Golden eyes] would see him if he hid in the secret dimension. ¡®Since he is so powerful, I can only use sneak attacks on him.¡¯ Leo knew no matter how good he was at martial arts and hand-to-handbat, and it was useless in front of absolute strength. Not only does Hermanx have a powerful attacking talent, but Leo guessed [Golden Titan Body] talent must be rted to defense. So, he wanted to rely on sneak attacks. Moreover, Leo was worried about another thing which was Hermax¡¯s bloodline, and thought, ¡®Who knows what kind of benefits his bloodline will provide to him.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s time to attack.¡¯ After recovering his strength a little, Leo started executing his n. ¡®Where is he hiding?¡¯ As for Hermax, he was searching for Leo using his [Golden Eyes]; however, he could not find any trace. ¡°Are you searching for me?¡± [Mighty Combustion] Leo came out of his secret dimension some distance from Hermax before using his most destructive talent. Even though this talent would cause a lot of damage if Leo were closer to Hermax, Leo didn¡¯t want to risk it, fearing Hermax¡¯s [Golden Eyes] might find him if he moved closer to him. Nevertheless, Leo felt the distance was enough to deal good damage to Hermax. ¡®Boom¡¯ As usual, a fiery heat wave came out of Leo¡¯s body, and Hermax didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge the iing fiery heat wave. ¡°So, you finally came out of your hiding ce¡­Bloodline activate¡± To Leo¡¯s surprise, Hermax revealed a slight smile as he rushed toward Leo without caring for the iing fiery heat wave. At the same time, he activated his bloodline, which made his body glow with a Golden Halo. ¡®What the hell! Where did this monstere from?¡¯ Looking at Hermax running into the fiery heat wave, Leo felt a bad premonition as he directly walked into the secret dimension. Soon, the fiery heat wave disappeared, and there was not a single burn on Hermax¡¯s body. ¡®Are all the beings from the grade 3 world this strong?¡¯ Leo was shocked to see Hermax was not harmed in the slightest despite using his strongest talent. ¡°Aarghe out and face me like a man.¡± As Leo was shocked by Hermax¡¯s inhumane defense, Hermax got frustrated and shouted aloud. However, when Leo saw Hermax getting frustrated, he got an idea that might possibly make him win. ¡®I know it¡¯s cowardice but so what? As long as I win, I can break my ve seal and be free of the unbearable pain.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t care about morals. To him, breaking the ve seal was important, and he would do anything to get the item that could break his seal. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Do you think I am an idiot to fight you face to face? What a joke?¡± Soon, Leo appeared some distance away from Hermax just like before and used [Might Combustion] before going back into his secret dimension. ¡°Damn it.¡± Generally, Hermax could control his anger; however, he was unable to do it because of Leo¡¯s actions. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Sir Odren, what happens if there is no winner in the match?¡± After taking a break for a minute, Leo walked out of the secret dimension and asked the old remnant spirit with a curious look. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 82 Opening the [Diamond] Section of the [Treasure room] Since Leo knew that Hermax was too strong for him to defeat, he didn¡¯t want to get defeated by him either. So, Leo wanted to keep on using his [Space Maniption] to hide inside the secret dimension and frustrate him. At the same time, he wanted to know what would happen if there was no definite winner in the face. Therefore, he asked the old remnant spirit. <¡­> Hearing Leo¡¯s question, the old remnant spirit remained silent and looked at the other remnant spirits. The three remnant spirits discussed it for a while before informing them how they would decide the winner. ¡®Excellent.¡¯ The old remnant spirit¡¯s reply made Leo hopeful once again. Because as long as Leo could hold his ground against Hermax, he could win the match and get ess to the [Diamond] section of the [Treasure room]. ¡°I am not letting that happen.¡± Hermax was shocked when he heard the old remnant spirit¡¯s words. Only a few things could attract Hermax, and ording to the dragon head remnant spirit, the item inside would help him break through to the next level. Even though a few things in his world could do the same; however, he could not get them without the help of his father or his family.-. However, Hermax didn¡¯t want to rely on them to break through and wanted to use his own strength to gain such an item. Hence, his determination to defeat Leo increased to the next level. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Without wasting any time, Hermax rushed toward Leo. ¡°Let¡¯s meet after a minute.¡± However, Leo was already keeping an eye on Hermax, and the moment he saw Hermax was rushing toward him, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to enter the secret dimension. ¡°Aargh¡­this annoying b*stard.¡± Hermax didn¡¯t have any problem fighting the supreme heroes with his current strength; however, Leo was not fighting him. ¡®This Golden Titan is strong enough to kill Supreme Heroes and why will I fight such a monster? ¡® Leo muttered to himself before walking out of the secret dimension. [Might Combustion] ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After using his talent, Leo didn¡¯t even bother to stay behind to check the damage before rushing into the secret dimension. ¡®I can do this all day; however, I wonder how long he can endure it.¡¯ Hermax didn¡¯t have a slight injury on his body; however, Leo noticed that Hermax was bing more and more impatient. He knew that Hermax would give up after some time. Until then, he just had to be patient. ¡­ Time continued to pass in the [Reality Domain], and more than 10 hours had passed in a sh. ¡®Putong¡¯ After failing to catch Leo for the Nth time, Hermax fell to the ground, tired from being frustrated at Leo¡¯s antics. ¡°I¡­don¡¯t want the item anymore.¡± Hermax said in a weak voice while lying on the ground. The dragon head remnant spirit asked Hermax. ¡°Yes. I admit defeat.¡± Hermax stood up from the ground and said, ¡°You cane out now. I will find a way to counter your talent to hide in space with something. So, you better prepare for the next time we fight.¡± Even though Hermax was frustrated by Leo¡¯s actions, he knew Leo did what he could do. He would have never won if Leo didn¡¯t choose that strategy and tried to fight him in head-to-headbat. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Since Hermax admitted defeat in front of the remnant spirits, Leo came out of his secret dimension and asked, ¡°Huh? Next time?¡± ¡°Yes. Even if your world fails the assessment, you have enough skills to survive any danger.¡± Hermax nodded, ¡°So, be prepared for our next match. I will not go easy on you.¡± In the end, Hermax even revealed a slight smile, making Leo a little bit ufortable. ¡°Sir Embar, can you send me back to my world now?¡± Since he had lost the fight, Hermax didn¡¯t want to stay in the [Reality Domain] anymore. So, he asked the Dragon head remnant spirit to send him back to his world. Hermax entered the [Reality Domain] through his [Treasure Land]; therefore, it was his duty to send him back. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the dragon head remnant spirit opened a portal and disappeared along with Hermax. Next, the masked remnant spirit waved his hands and sent Leo and the old remnant spirit back to the [Treasurend]. ¡°So, he was also one of the otherworldly ¡®Gods¡¯ that saved my world in the past?¡± As soon as they returned to the [Treasurend], Leo asked the old remnant spirit. The records about the otherworldly ¡®Gods¡¯ that saved the human world were lost in the river of time. So, other than the titles of a few gods, most humans didn¡¯t know anything about them. So, when he heard the masked remnant spirit¡¯s words a few seconds ago, Leo learned that the owner of that remnant spirit had also visited his world. ¡°Yes.¡± The old remnant spirit nodded and continued, ¡°Not only him, but the dragon head remnant spirit also visited your world.¡± ¡°But why did you leave the world all of sudden? You didn¡¯t even appoint the city leaders for the cities you created.¡± Leo was not surprised; however, he asked a question that had been in his head for thest ten years. ¡°Since you are the final winner of the three [Treasurends], I have many things to tell you.¡± The old remnant spirit looked calm and continued saying, ¡°However, for now, go and purchase the remaining items from the [Treasure room].¡± ¡°After that, I will tell you everything since it is myst duty before returning to the main body.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded and disappeared from his ce. ¡­ Inside the [Treasure room], ¡®There is no need to think about it. I want to open the [Diamond] section.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think much before opening the [Diamond] section. ¡®What? Are the heavens favouring me for the pain I endured during thest 10 years?¡¯ He was shocked to see the item stored in that section before revealing an ear-to-ear smile. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 83 System Upgrade? Leo saw an image of the ck-coloured stone on the mirror screen and could not help but feel like he had seen an oasis in the middle of a desert. It was none other than the ¡®God stone¡¯ that could even make the Supreme Heroes go crazy. ¡­ [Diamond] grade item from the [Treasure room]. 1) God Stone x 1 (20 million treasure points ) Item name: God stone. Usage: A rank 9 hero can be a supreme hero after using it. Information: An item that was even valuable for the beings from the grade 3 worlds. ¡­.. Unlike the previous sections, there was only one item in the [Diamond] section, and the moment his eyesnded on the item, the mirror showed the information about the item. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ However, after seeing the usage of the item, Leo frowned. ¡®Didn¡¯t the old remnant spirit say I can use it break my ve seal? Then why is it not included in its information?¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo still bought the ¡®God stone¡¯ because he knew how valuable it was.-. Soon, 17 million treasure points were deducted from Leo¡¯s ount; however, he was still left with 14.5 million treasure points. After Hermax admitted his defeat, his 15 million treasure points got added to Leo¡¯s 16.5 million treasure points and became 31.5 million treasure points. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the payment waspleted, a ck stone came out of the mirror and fell into Leo¡¯s hand. ¡®Such a small stone is capable of making supreme heroes go crazy.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile at the small ck-coloured stone in his hand. ¡®I will ask the old spirit about the God stone after purchasing the items from the [tinum] section.¡¯ Since he still had millions of treasure points, Leo decided to buy the items from the remaining section of the [Treasure room]. ¡®Ding, The system detected the ¡®God stone¡¯ in the host¡¯s hands. ¡®Ding, The host can use the ¡®God stone¡¯ to upgrade the system. Do you want to upgrade the system? Just as he was thinking of opening the [tinum] section of the [Treasure room], Leo received a couple of system notifications. ¡®System upgrade?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised. ¡®Ding, Yes. After the system upgrade, the system will unlock new features, and even the yearly cool-down of the ¡®Talent swallowing ability¡¯ mighte down. The system informed the benefits he would receive from upgrading the system, which obviously tempted Leo. ¡®System, the old remnant spirit said I can break my ve seal with the help of the God stone. Is that real?¡¯ To him, System was very knowledgeable and wanted to know whether he could break the ve seal with the God stone before deciding whether to break the ve seal or upgrade the system. ¡®Ding, The God stone can even break the seals ced by a supreme hero. ¡®Really? Then I want to break my ve seal.¡¯ Seeing the system notification, Leo was excited and decided to break the ve seal. ¡®Ding, However, it is too much waste to use a God stone to break a ve seal. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo frowned and replied, ¡®System, you do know how painful it was to bear this cursed ve seal, right?¡¯ Generally, having a regr ve seal would not be painful; however, Leo killed his ve master, and thus he got cursed with a ¡®Forbidden curse¡¯ that damaged his soul by 50 percent. It would be back to the same 50 percent damage no matter how much he heals his soul. ¡®Ding, The system knows very well; however, did the host forget the system¡¯s main objective? ¡®It is to make me the Strongest God.¡¯ How could Leo forget the system words back when he activated the system? Leo barely survived one day after another by ving inside a manticore¡¯s mine during that time. ¡®Ding, After the sessful system upgrade, I awakened a special ability simr to ¡®Talent swallowing¡¯. So, the system suggests the host upgrade the system. ¡®Huh? An ability simr to ¡®Talent swallowing¡¯?¡¯ To Leo, the ¡®Talent swallowing¡¯ ability changed his lifepletely. So, he was tempted. ¡®But, I afraid I might not hold onto the pain if I can¡¯t break the ve seal.¡¯ Even though he was tempted to have another ability simr to ¡®Talent swallowing¡¯, Leo knew he should be alive to enjoy that ability. Therefore, he still decided not to upgrade the system and was determined to break the ve seal. ¡®Ding, Host, after the upgrade, the system bes powerful enough to suppress the ve seal from a supreme hero, or I can even share your pain. Isn¡¯t that enough reason to upgrade the system? Leo understood one thing from the system¡¯s back-to-back notifications: ¡® The system wants an upgrade badly.¡¯ ¡®Phew¡¯ Taking a deep breath, Leo replied, ¡®Fine. If not for you, I would have not endured the pain from the ve seal. So, I will upgrade it.¡¯ Leo was grateful to the system and felt it should repay it by upgrading it. Moreover, in the end, from the system upgrade, he would be the one who gets all the benefits. ¡®Ding, The host used the ¡®God stone¡¯ to upgrade the ¡®Talent swallowing system¡¯. ¡®Ding, It will take one day for the system to upgrade. Please wait patiently for the new version of the system. Soon, the system started upgrading and asked Leo to wait one day. ¡®I hope my ¡®Talent swallowing¡¯ ability¡¯s cooldown decreases after the system upgrade.¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t know what type of system features would be avable after the upgrade, he hoped for a decrease in the cooldown time. Leo was even willing to instantly give up on bing a ¡®Supreme hero¡¯ using the God stone. So, he was looking forward to thepletion of the system upgrade. ¡®Even with the God stone, I can be a Supreme Hero; however, upgrading the system is not something I can do on my own.¡¯ Even though Leo could instantly finish his revenge if he became a supreme hero, Leo wanted to be the most powerful being behind the ¡®Supreme hero,¡¯ and it would be possible with the help of the system. The more features the system has, the more powerful it would be. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to clear the [tinum] section of the [Treasure room].¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 84 World Assessments and Grades ¡®Click¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo opened the [tinum section] and found there were only two items. ¡­.. [tinum] grade items from the [Treasure room]. 1) Supreme beast egg x 1 (5 million treasure points). 2) Supreme monster egg x 1 (5 million treasure points). ¡­.. Leo didn¡¯t need any information to know its value when looking at the two eggs on the mirror screen. ¡®Buy¡¯ Since he had nearly 15 million treasure points, Leo didn¡¯t think much as he bought both eggs. The amount got deducted as two huge eggs came out of the mirror. ¡®For now, stay inside my secret dimension.¡¯ The eggs were huge to carry around. So, Leo stored them in his secret dimension and decided to hatch them after leaving the [Treasurend].-. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to get answers from the old remnant spirit.¡¯ Leo had some questions for the old remnant spirit, and the other party even said he would answer all his questions. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time and came out of the [Treasure room]. ¡­. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Use the God stone to be the supreme hero. It¡¯s side effect will break the ve seal and free you from the ¡®Forbidden Curse¡¯.¡± As soon as Leo appeared in front of the old remnant spirit, the old spirit asked Leo to use the ¡®God stone¡¯. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, Leo remained silent because he had already used the God stone to upgrade the system. ¡°I guess you know what to do. So, I will not tell you the things you already know.¡± The mirror in the [Treasure room] shows the information of all the items. So, the old remnant spirit was not worried Leo might not properly use the God stone. Instead, he started exining the other things. ¡°In this universe, there are countless worlds which belong to a specific race or a group of races.¡± ¡®Hm¡¯ This thing, not only Leo, everyone in the human world knew about the existence of other worlds after the appearance of monsters and the otherworldly gods. ¡°Once in a while, these worlds would be swarmed by the wild beasts and wild monsters to test the strength of the world. The worlds that survived those assessment will raceive a grade and everyone on the world would undergo changes depending on their grade.¡± ¡°The higher the grade of the world, the more treasures will be born in the world and the experience gained by the residents when using their talents also increases.¡± The old remnant spirit stopped speaking and looked at Leo to check whether he followed what he was saying. ¡°Didn¡¯t we already survive the hordes of the wild monsters and the mutated beasts in the past? Moreover, you even came to our rescue before building the cities. So, my world should be at least grade 1, right?¡± Leo understood everything that the old remnant spirit had told, and the moment he stopped speaking, he even asked a question. When they were in the [Reality Domain], Zorak said he belonged to a grade 0 world, and the old remnant spirit didn¡¯t say anything. Hence, he believed Zorak was right. However, since they survived the hordes of the monsters and the beasts, Leo felt his world should be grade 1. ¡°That¡¯s not an assessment. It¡¯s just a pre-assessment to see whether your world is worth giving a standard assessment.¡± The old remnant spirit continued, ¡°If not for our timely arrival, your world would have already be a hub for the monsters and the mutated beasts. In short, you didn¡¯t even qualify the pre-assessment.¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s just a pre-assessment?¡± Leo was shocked and asked, ¡°How dangerous will the real assessment be in terms of the pre-assessment?¡± ¡°10 times. The grade 1 world assessment will be 10 times more dangerous than the pre-assessment in which your world didn¡¯t even qualify without our help.¡± The old remnant spirit calmly replied to Leo. ¡¯10 times more dangerous?¡¯ Leo was already imagining the appearance of therge monster and mutated beast hordes stampeding the cities. ¡°But who is assessing the world? Is he more powerful than you?¡± Nevertheless, Leo asked the main question. ¡°It¡¯s a universal secret and I can¡¯t tell it to you since I am just a remnant spirit left by my main body, War God Odren.¡± However, the old remnant spirit didn¡¯t answer his question, making Leo frown. ¡°Also, the reason why we hurriedly left the world after creating the cities was because if that thing noticed us, your world would have been destroyed already.¡± The old remnant spirit didn¡¯t continue talking about the mysterious existence capable of destroying the worlds. ¡°The main problem with your world is the internal struggle among yourself. If you can¡¯t work together, you can¡¯t win against the uing grade 1 world assessment.¡± The old remnant spirit shook his head. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t say anything because his words were absolutely true. Most of the supreme heroes were always trying to weaken the other cities to conquer them. Whereas the supreme heroes like Theodore don¡¯t care about the cities; instead, they care about themselves and their families. Moreover, there was even one evil organization that wanted to be the world¡¯s ruler. ¡°If you want to save your world, you need to unite all the city leaders before the world assessment for your world begins.¡± After saying a few more things, the old remnant spirit said what Leo had to do to save the world. ¡°Unite supreme heroes? Me?¡± Leo could not help but shake his head. ¡°Huh? Is there a problem?¡± The old spirit asked Leo with a frown. ¡°No, It¡¯s not like that.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to share his story with the old remnant; instead, he asked, ¡°Can you give a rough understanding of how powerful I should be or how many supreme heroes we have to pass the world assessment?¡± ¡°Another important question, how much time is left for the world assessment?¡± ¡°It looks like you must have a bad blood with the supreme heroes that you want to stop the monsters and beasts from the assessment on your own.¡± The old remnant spirit shook his head and answered, ¡°There is no way you can stop all the monsters and beasts from world assessment on your own.¡± ¡°As for when the world assessment starts, it is very hard to say for me; however, I can tell you have at least six months. After that, the assessment might start any moment.¡± ¡°Six months? Okay. I will see what I can do.¡± After hearing the old remnant spirit¡¯s reply, Leo nodded. ¡°I strongly suggest that you put your blood feud with the supreme heroes and inform them about the world assessment.¡± The old remnant spirit could not see through Leo¡¯s thoughts; however, he was sure about one thing Leo was not going to reconcile with the supreme heroes. ¡°As long as all the city leaders in your world work together with their armies, your chances of passing the world assessment will increase to 80 percent.¡± The old spirit even gave their sess rate if they worked together. ¡°If it takes six months for the world assessment, I think I don¡¯t have to bother our mighty city leaders with the world assessment.¡± Suddenly, Leo revealed a slight smile, confusing the old remnant spirit. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 85 Coming out of the [Treasure land] ¡°Sir Odren, what happens to the world if it fails the assessment?¡± The old remnant spirit exined a few more things despite knowing that Leo would not reconcile with the city leaders of his world. Suddenly, Leo asked a question. ording to what Leo learned from the old remnant spirit, the assessment would be considered a failure if the human poption bes less than 10 percent. So, Leo asked what happens to the remaining 10 percent of the surviving human poption. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask where did these wild monsterse from?¡± The old remnant spirit answered Leo with a question. ¡°Huh? Are you telling me that the surviving humans will be wild monsters and teleport to other worlds?¡± ¡°Correct. Your talents will turn into skills and you will be the wild monsters to the natives of the world you teleported to.¡± Leo raised his brows as he gotplete rity on how the world assessments work. ¡°With the help of the God stone, you will be a Supreme hero without a doubt. So, I suggest you put your ego and revenge aside, and form a truce with the city leaders.¡± The old remnant spirit tried to convince Leo onest time. ¡°¡­¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t say anything and silently thought about something, ¡°Okay. It¡¯s my turn to leave this world and I hope your world passes the assessment and bes a grade 1 world.¡±-. The old remnant spirit shook his head and ended his words, ¡°I am sending you out of the [Treasurend] now.¡± Soon, Leo¡¯s body started turning into small light particles. ¡°Don¡¯t worry old man, the work you left the halfway, I will fulfil it.¡± Before Leo could disappearpletely from the [Treasurend], he said those words with a confident look. ¡°Huh? What was he talking about?¡± However, the old remnant spirit didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind his words, and he thought about it for a few moments. While he was thinking about it, the entire [Treasurend] started turning into small light particles like the participants left the [Treausurend]. ¡°Wait for a second¡­the work we left halfway is¡­.¡± Suddenly, the old remnant spirit understood the meaning behind Leo¡¯s words; however, before he could finish his words, he disappeared along with the entire [Treasurend]. However, the old remnant spirit had a slight smile when he disappeared for some reason. ¡­ Outside the [Treasurend], ¡°Why do we always have to do these things?¡± A watcher looked at the ck pir in the distance andined to his fellow watcher. ¡°Because we are the watchers.¡± The other watcher replied nonchntly. Only a few people were standing in front of the [Treasurend]¡¯s entrance. It¡¯s been more than half a day since all the participants except Leo came out of the [Treasurend]. The city leader and other powerful heroes didn¡¯t waste their time standing in front of the entrance and decided to go back to the city. However, they didn¡¯t forget to put a couple of people in front of the entrance, and the same goes for the city leader, who used a couple of rank 7 watchers. ¡°But, isn¡¯t it unfair? Like, there are other depart¡­.¡± ¡°Our duty is to destroy the Emergency stone the moment that brat named Leo walks out of the [Treasurend]. So, shut the f*ck up and keep your goddamn eyes on the entrance.¡± Finally, the watcher yelled at his colleague whoined about their work for the past few hours. ¡®¡­¡¯ It worked as the watcher shut his mouth and looked at the ck pir. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Hide¡¯ Before Leo¡¯s body could appear in front of the entrance, Leo directly hid inside his secret dimension. Since he knew he had messed with everyone except for the Icefeather family, Leo didn¡¯t want to get hunted when he appeared out of the [Treasurend]. ¡®Anyway, I got it under control.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t worry about it because he had nned everything before messing up with the city leader, Mr. White and the two powerful families. ¡®Before I execute that n, I need to check on Julia and Ryan.¡¯ Even though he was confident that nothing would happen to them, Leo could not help but worry since they were his only one of the few rtives in this world. ¡®Oh. As expected, they left some people here to keep an eye on me.¡¯ Looking at the people from his secret dimension, Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile. ¡®Today, I am in a good mood. Let¡¯s not spill the blood.¡¯ Leo silently moved away from the location beforeing out of his secret dimension with that thought. Even though Leo could hide and even move in the secret dimension, he learned that he could only stay in a secret dimension for five minutes before being forcefully kicked out. He could only enter the secret dimension again after a minute. ¡®Hermax was so frustrated to even notice the loophole in my talent.¡¯ Leo could not help but smile, thinking about Hermax. However, when fighting against Hermax, Leo didn¡¯t stay in the secret dimension for five minutes; instead, he only stayed for around one minute beforeing out. Because of that, he didn¡¯t have to wait one minute to go back into the secret dimension. ¡­ In Ryan¡¯s house, ¡°Are you telling the truth? So, Brother Leo already knew that death is not real in the [Treasurend].¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Since he has offended so many people in the [Treasurend], he killed us to make everyone believe that we are not connected to him. Is that right?¡± ¡°Yes. He even gave me an elite talent upgrading stone before killing me.¡± Julia nodded with a bright smile and replied to Ryan. She was in a dilemma until she came out of the [Treasurend]. However, after bing a member of the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯, Julia understood that all the things Leo had done in the [Treasurend] were for their sake. ¡°Sigh¡­it looks like I misunderstood Brother Leo.¡± Ryan realized that he had misunderstood Leo and bitterly sighed. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Even I was in a dilemma on why Brother Leo turned into apletely different person before killing us.¡± It was not their fault because Leo intentionally released his bloodlust while killing them because he didn¡¯t want any of the participants to doubt him. However, it was so perfect that even Julia, who had a lot of faith in Leo, fell into a dilemma. ¡°Regardless, I need to apologize to him aftering out of the [Treasurend].¡± Ryan concluded he had to apologize to Leo for misunderstanding him. ¡°Actually, I am curious about his strength. Just how powerful is Brother Leo? Can he handle the city leader and the powerful families?¡± After making his decision to apologize, Ryan asked Julia about Leo¡¯s strength. . . ¡®Phew¡­they are safe.¡¯ Leo was listening to their conversation from the secret dimension and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®So, she sessfully became a member of the ¡®Order of the healing angels¡¯. From now on, that organization will take care of her.¡¯ ¡®As for Ryan, Julia will protect him. Nevertheless, I should let Dominic recruit him into his squad.¡¯ Leo silently left Ryan¡¯s house as he didn¡¯t have the intention to meet them before finishing his revenge. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to meet the old b*stard Mr. White.¡¯ After leaving Ryan¡¯s house, Leo moved towards the inner section of Phirie city. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 86 Golden Contract The inner section of Phirie city, Every building in the inner section of Phirie city was magnificent. The streets were clean and hygienicpared to the streets in the outer section of the city. Only those with money and power could settle in the inner section, and they paid a lot of taxes to the city leader. So, of course, the city leader didn¡¯t neglect taking care of them. It doesn¡¯t mean the people from the outer and middle sections were not paying the taxes. They were also paying the taxes; however, the city leader knew they didn¡¯t dare to raise their voice against him. ¡®Theodore, you forget the main duty of a city leader. For now, I will let you enjoy your life with the money you have pocketed. However, your end is near.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself and came out of the secret dimension before entering the tallest building in Phirie city. ¡°Hello, Young hero, what kind of loan are you looking for?¡± As soon as he entered, a young and beautiful receptionist asked Leo with a beautiful smile. The beautiful receptionist could tell Leo spends a lot, judging from Leo¡¯s designer clothes. So, she tried to be as polite as possible to the potential client of herpany. ¡°I am not here for the loan. I am here for Mr. White,¡± Leo replied. The tallest building in Phirie city belongs to none other than Mr. White, and Leo nned to use him to keep the city leader and two powerful families in their ces. ¡°Huh? You want to meet the chairman?¡± The receptionist frowned at Leo¡¯s reply; however, she smiled and asked, ¡°Do you have an appointment with the chairman?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have it; however, your chairman will be happy to hear my name. You might even receive a bonus. Why don¡¯t you give it a try?¡±-. Leo replied to the receptionist in a confident tone. ¡®¡­¡¯ The receptionist looked at Leo and hesitated a bit before calling the secretary of Mr. White. ¡°Okay¡­I will guide him to the chairman¡¯s office right away.¡± The receptionist was shocked by the response from the other end after mentioning Leo¡¯s name. ¡°Please follow, Sir. I will guide you to the chairman¡¯s office.¡± With full respect, the receptionist guided Leo to Mr. White¡¯s office, situated on the top floor of the building. ¡­. Inside Mr. White¡¯s office, ¡°What the hell are those b*stards doing when Leo is already here?¡± Mr. White shouted at his secretary, who was also his trusted follower for a few decades. ¡°I will call them and ask¡­.¡± ¡°There is no need. Let those b*stards stay there for another few days.¡± Before his secretary could finish his words, Mr. White replied. ¡°Okay, Chairman.¡± The middle-aged secretary nodded. ¡°Brat, you dare to enter my building after killing my people in the [Treasurend]. Do you want to die that badly?¡± Soon, Leo entered the office and seeing him, Mr. White could not help but be furious. ¡°Mr. White, calm down. Don¡¯t you want to know the reason why I came here?¡± Leo was calm and replied. ¡°That¡¯s the only reason why you are still alive.¡± Mr. White looked at his secretary, who hurriedly left the office, leaving Leo and Mr. White alone. ¡°Before I say that, you must have heard that I like to work alone, right?¡± Leo sat in a chair and asked Mr. White in a calm tone. ¡°Yes.¡± All the powerful people in Phirie city had bought Leo¡¯s information. In that, it was mentioned he was a lone mercenary. ¡°So, I hope you don¡¯t mind me killing a couple of low-level heroes who tried to kill me.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, the old man became angry; however, he felt Leo was right about it. Moreover, the death was not real in the [Treasurend], and even the remaining participants were kicked out soon after that. ¡°Okay. I can forgive you for attacking my underlings.¡± After thinking for a moment, Mr. White nodded and asked, ¡°Now, tell me the reason for your visit.¡± ¡°Good¡± Leo didn¡¯t believe Mr. White was generous enough to forgive him; nevertheless, he was not worried much about it because he was confident in his next move. ¡°I received an item you are looking for. And your deal was tempting. Therefore, I came here to finish our deal.¡± ¡°What? You found the fragment of the God stone?¡± Mr. White stood up from his chair when he heard Leo¡¯s words. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded. ¡°What if¡­¡± ¡°You might be thinking of killing me and taking the fragment of the God stone; however, I suggest you think about it.¡± Leo interrupted his words before Mr. White could say anything and continued, ¡°For you, money is not a problem. As for letting me be a member of the ¡®Supreme Market¡¯ was nothing to you. So, are you willing to lose the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to save some money?¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ Mr. White remained silent and agreed with Leo. Even though he could kill Leo, Mr. White was not sure whether Leo was carrying the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ with him or not. ¡°I am not the type to go back on my words. Since I proposed the deal, I am willing to fulfil it.¡± With a slight smile, the old man replied to Leo. ¡°I also have another request along with it.¡± ¡°What now?¡± Mr. White frowned when he heard Leo had another request. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s simple. I have offended the Ambermane family and the Cloudriver family. So, all you need to do is tell them that I was working for you in the [Treasurend].¡± Leo said his condition and slowly took the ¡®Fragment of God stone¡¯ out of thin air. ¡°As long as you can sign a contract with those conditions, I will give this ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to you.¡± ¡°You have no more conditions, right?¡± Mr. White didn¡¯t think much about those conditions as they were nothing to him. So, he agreed with Leo and asked whether he had any more conditions. ¡°That¡¯s all.¡± Leo knew it was not only enough to stop the powerful families from hunting him, but it would also make the city leader think twice before he tried anything funny. ¡°Good. So, you must have brought the contract, right? Take it out, I will sign it right away.¡± Nodding his head, Leo took out a Golden paper with the conditions already written on it. It was called the Golden Contracted Paper, which was created by an advanced hero with a refining talent. Simr to the Enchanted mission paper, this Golden contracted paper was not amon paper; instead, it could be used to form a strong contract between two parties. The party that breaks the contract would be heavily punished, which might kill him instantly, or in the worst case, they might be paralyzed for the rest of their lives. ¡°Here.¡± Leo dropped a single drop of blood on the contract before pressing it with his thumb, leaving a set of perfect fingerprints. ¡°You can read it and then sign it.¡± After he signed it, Leo passed the golden paper to Mr. White. ¡°The Fragment of the God stone is yours.¡± After both parties signed the contract, Leo threw the fragment of the god stone at Mr. White. ¡°Since you finished your part of the deal, it¡¯s time to finish mine.¡± Mr. White checked the item was real and silently stored it in his storage ring, and said with a slight smile, ¡°Let me take you to the ¡®Supreme Market¡¯ now.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 87 Entering the [Supreme Market] ¡°Wee to the Supreme Market.¡± Mr. White brought Leo to arge underground ce and weed him with a slight smile. ¡®So, the entrance to the ck market is through his building.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile in response; however, he silently observed things around him. ¡®Only four stalls and they call it a ¡®Supreme Market¡¯.¡¯ There were only four stalls which didn¡¯t match its title ¡®Supreme Market¡¯. ¡°The Supreme Maket of Phirie city is still growing; however, there are only four stalls as of now; however, you can find almost all things except for extremely rare things in here and I can promise that.¡± Mr. White saw the look on Leo¡¯s face and exined that the market was still growing. ¡°Okay then. I will go and shop for some items from the thirty million credit I got from you.¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t care about how big the ¡®Supreme Market¡¯ was because he had other reasons to enter it, which even made him give away a Fragment of the God stone¡¯. He gave the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ from which he had already used its special effect and kept the one he got from the [Treasurend]. Moreover, Leo felt 30 million hero coins was a good amount for him to shop in the Supreme Market. So, he didn¡¯t hesitate. ¡°You are the 10th member of Phirie city¡¯s ¡®Supreme market¡¯. From this, you can understand how careful we are in selecting the members, right?¡± ¡°Yes. I heard you are very secretive.¡± ¡°So, if you reveal the existence of the Supreme Market to anyone, you will die because of the contract you signed earlier.¡±-. Just like Leo, Mr. White also made him sign a Golden contract regarding the existence of the ¡®Supreme Market¡¯. ¡°Do you think I am a child?¡± Leo shook his head and put on his mask before walking toward the stalls. ¡®It is time to increase my contribution points and ask for additional resources for my branch.¡¯ Mr. White didn¡¯t bother about Leo anymore as he thought about making good use of the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ he received from Leo. So, he quietly returned to his office and started working on it. ¡­ ¡®Let¡¯s not make it too obvious about my intentions.¡¯ Looking at the four stalls in front of him, Leo silently thought and walked towards the stall with a board, ¡®Weapons and Artifacts¡¯ in front of it. Even though he didn¡¯t intend to buy the weapons or artifacts, Leo didn¡¯t want Mr. White to see through his ns. ¡°Respected customer, what type of weapons do you like?¡± Seeing Leo, the old stall owner respectfully asked him. Only a few members were allowed into this ¡®Supreme Market¡¯, and each was powerful. So, the stall owner tried to be as respectful as possible. ¡°Rank 7 swords only.¡± ¡°Okay. Please give me a moment.¡± The stall owner nodded and took out a storage ring from the cupboards. ¡°These are the 10 rank 7 swords that could even break the regr rank 8 weapons. If you like anything, please let me know.¡± The stall owner summoned 10 powerful-looking rank 7 swords with a polite smile. ¡­. 1) Equinox sword, Rank 7 (100,000 Hero coins). 2) Fire and water sword, Rank 7 (100,00 Hero coins). 3) Shadow sword, Rank 7 (100,000 Hero coins). . . 10) Chaos sword, Rank 7 (500,000 Hero coins). ¡­.. While Leo observed the swords, the stall owner informed him about each sword and its price. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother about the prices as he was never nning to buy any sword; however, he frowned when he saw a ck-coloured sword. ¡°I want this sword. What is its name? Shadow sword?¡± Pointing at the ck sword, Leo informed the stall owner that he wanted to buy it. ¡°Respected customer, you have an eye for finding treasures.¡± The stall owner would have said the same line no matter which sword Leo picked. ¡°Yes. Its name is Shadow Sword.¡± Soon, the stall owner gave the sword to Leo while saying its name. ¡®This is definitely a special weapon.¡¯ Looking at the runes on the sword, Leo silently muttered to himself. It was not his first time seeing those runes because they were simr to his favourite weapon, ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯. ¡®If it is really a special weapon, I think it is quite suitable for Mikhael.¡¯ He bought the sword, not for himself; instead, for one of his early subordinates and friends who also excels in swords. ¡®Why would I use another sword when I have my ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯?¡¯ Leo used the 30 million virtual hero coins and transferred them to the stall owner. ¡°Come again, respected customer.¡± The stall owner politely bowed and asked him to visit his stall again. ¡­ After storing the shadow sword, Leo visited another stall named ¡®Alchemy stall¡¯, which sold potions and pills. He bought some ¡®Energy restoring pills¡¯, which help recover the energy to use the talents. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time for the main business.¡¯ Finally, Leo looked at the biggest stall among the four stalls and slowly walked towards it. ¡°Respected customer, what type of ves do you want?¡± The stall owner was also an old man with a huge belly. Seeing Leo, they respectfully asked Leo. ¡°What type do you have?¡± Leo was calm as he replied with a question. ¡°It looks like this respected customer entered the Supreme Market for the first time.¡± The old man easily figured out it was Leo¡¯s first time; however, it didn¡¯t decrease his respect for Leo. ¡°In this stall, the respected customer can find enved monsters, mutated beasts and even humans.¡± ¡°Human ves?¡± Leo acted surprised; however, under his mask, he had a furious look ¡°Yes, the respected customer.¡± The old man revealed a slight smile and asked, ¡°We have a few top-notch beauties among those enved humans. Do you want to check them?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it my right to check the item before buying?¡± Leo acted like he could not wait to see them; however, he wanted to kill all the stall owners inside his heart. ¡°Looks like the respected customer is a man of culture.¡± The stall owner chuckled as he thought of Leo as a horny young man who could not wait to release his stress. ¡°Follow me.¡± In the next second, he asked Leo to follow him. Nodding his head, Leo silently followed behind him and thought, ¡®I hope I can find at least one of them here.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 88 Buying Enslaved Humans ¡°Respected customer, if you like any of these enved monsters or mutated beasts, let me know. I can throw in a good discount.¡± As the old man with a belly guided Leo into the stall, Leo saw the cages of all sizes. In those cages, enved monsters and the mutated beasts with lifeless eyes looked at them as they walked deeper. The ve seals engraved on them looked simr to the Moonlight unicorn that Leo bought in the premium auction. ¡°Did you ce the same ve seals on the humans too?¡± Leo tried his best to suppress his anger and asked the stall owner calmly. ¡°Of course not. The value of enved humans lies in their expressions and emotions. So, the respected customer doesn¡¯t need to worry about it.¡± The stall owner asked Leo not to worry and said, ¡°We are here.¡± As soon as he said those words, the old man with the belly pulled a cloth covering the cages filled with humans. There were around 100 cages, and each cage had one enved human. However,pared to the enved mutated beasts, these humans could still retain their emotions in their eyes. Those enved humans didn¡¯t utter a single word; instead, most of them looked at Leo with hopeful eyes, asking him to free them. ¡®Damn it.¡¯ Looking at them, Leo clenched his fists because he saw himself in those humans.-. ¡®Hm..where are you?¡¯ Leo looked at all the cages as though he was searching for someone among the enved humans. ¡®Sigh¡­it looks like they are not here.¡¯ After searching all the cages, Leo was disappointed. ¡°The top-notch beauties that the respected customer is looking for are in this row. Please take a look.¡± Suddenly, the stall owner pointed at a row of cages filled with young and beautiful women and asked Leo to check them. ¡®There are more?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect the stall owner was hiding more enved humans on the side. ¡®I should let him see all the goods first before showing the goods that he wants.¡¯ This was the business tactic that the stall owner used on Leo. If Leo liked any of the enved humans before he showed the enved humans that Leo wanted, the stall owner would be selling more humans. ¡®I hope he buys at least one or two from the first batch of goods.¡¯ In the eyes of the stall owner, the enved humans were nothing but goods, and as long as he sold them, he would earn hismissions from the organization. ¡°How much should I pay for all of them?¡± Leo knew that if he could not control his anger, he would be unable to save anyone. So, he suppressed his anger and asked about the cost for all of them. ¡°All these top-notch beauties cost the same price of one hundred thousand hero coins each; however, if you buy them all, I can sell these twelve beauties for one million hero coins.¡± The old man rubbed his belly and acted generously. ¡®No wonder the ¡®ck suits¡¯ kept selling the ves as their main business.¡¯ Leo raised his brows when he heard the prices and said in a serious tone, ¡°I said, ¡®All of them¡¯. Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± ¡°What? All of them?¡± The stall owner was surprised. ¡°Respected customer, are you sure you want to buy all of them?¡± Nevertheless, he asked Leo to confirm his purchase. ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t want to sell them. I will go to the other city¡¯s ¡®Supreme Market¡¯.¡± Leo turned around to leave the stall. ¡°Please forgive me, respected customer. I will sell them all to you.¡± Seeing that Leo was not joking with him, the stall owner hurriedly apologized to Leo. ¡°So, quote a price.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to turn around and asked the stall owner to quote a price. ¡°Including these beauties, I have a total of 112 enved humans and all of them are less than 20 years old.¡± ¡°Not a single one of them had awakened the talents. So, the prices are much lower than those that awakened the talents. ¡°Each one of them cost 80000 hero coins. However, since the respected customer is buying all of them and to apologize for my earlier doubtfulness towards the respected customer, I will reduce the price to 70000 hero coins for each enved human including these beauties.¡± ¡°The total will be 7840000 hero coins. What do you say, respected customer?¡± The stall owner didn¡¯t quote the price directly, fearing Leo might feel he was extorting him. So, he exined about the enved humans before quoting their prices. As Mr. White said, the supreme market in Phirie city was still growing, and even the enved humans they sold didn¡¯t have any talents. So, the prices for them were very low. ¡®Ting¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to negotiate the price and directly transferred ten million hero coins to the stall owner. ¡°10 million?¡± The stall owner was surprised and bowed to Leo, ¡°Thank you, respected customer.¡± ¡°I want more enved humans. Those with no talents only. The extra money is for you to bring them as soon as possible.¡± Leo replied in a calm tone. ¡°You want more?¡± The stall owner was shocked; however, he was happy and hurriedly nodded his head. ¡°But why only the talentless ves? They are only useful for menialbour? Wait a second¡­are you nning to make them work in the mines?¡± ¡°Correct. Now, tell me, how are you going to deliver my goods when we are in the center of the city.¡± Leo nodded and asked about the delivery. ¡°It must be the customer¡¯s first time buying the ves. So, let me exin.¡± The stall owner revealed a slight smile and exined, ¡°The delivery method changes depending on the reason you are nning to buy.¡± ¡°Since you are nning to use them for mining, if you leave the address of the mine, we will make the delivery within a day.¡± ¡°As for these top-notch beauties, you can leave your home address. In the whole process, your identity will not be known to other customers. So, the respected customer should not worry about it.¡± Since Leo made a huge deal with him, the stall owner was patient and exined everything. ¡°Oh¡± Leo nodded and gave the delivery address of a mine and a manor he bought in Phirie city even beforeing to the city. ¡°Oh. So, this mine and building were bought by this respected customer.¡± The stall owner was surprised when he received the address. ¡°What? Are that manor and mine famous or what?¡± Leo frowned as he didn¡¯t expect the stall owner to know about his manor and mine he bought beforeing to the city. ¡°I don¡¯t know whether I should say this or not but since the respected customer had made such a huge deal, I will say.¡± The stall owner hesitated before saying, ¡°The previous three owners of that manor and mine mysteriously died in their sleep. That¡¯s why no one from this city bought thatnd, manor, or mine. Since you bought it, you must be new to this town. I suggest the customer finds another ce to sleep at night because it is very dangerous.¡± ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 89 Three Objectives ¡®A haunted manor?¡¯ Coming out of the [Supreme Market], Leo could not help but shake his head. After finishing the deal with the old man with a belly, Leo checked thest stall, ¡®Misceneous stall¡¯. However, there was nothing that piqued his interest. So, he quietly left the market the same way he went in. Also, in the [Supreme Market], Leo noticed a huge wall with the title ¡®Assasin wall¡¯ with a few posters on it. Leo knew as long as one sticks a poster and pays the money in advance to the [Supreme Market], someone would kill the target and take that money. However, all the posters on the wall were marked as ¡®X¡¯, which means they had sessfully finished the target. Nevertheless, Leo wasn¡¯t interested in using that to take his revenge. Moreover, it might even backfire on him because Mr. White might take the city leader¡¯s side and backstab him. ¡®How many hours are left for thepletion of the system upgrade?¡¯ Leo muttered to himself, and a timer appeared in front of him. [10 hours left] ¡®Mr. White must have already informed others about my arrival. If that happens, ording to the contract, he should inform them that I am working for him. So, I can go and rx for tonight and start nning my next move.¡¯ Leo had nned so many things before entering the city, and so many unexpected things had happened around him. At the same time, he also learned some new things. So, he wanted to check his n once again before starting his revenge.-. ¡®First, I should find the real reason behind the death of my adoptive parents and take revenge for it.¡¯ ¡®Second, I have to free as many enved humans as possible and find Joel and ire before going against the ¡®ck suits¡¯.¡¯ ¡®Third, I have to finish the things that the otherworldly beings left halfway. In the process, I have to find the b*stard who marked a ve seal on my body.¡¯ Leo was clear about his goals and their preferences. ¡®As for bing the Supreme Hero, I have to do it whilepleting the first and second objectives.¡¯ For his first two objectives, bing a supreme hero was not very important; however, he should be powerful toplete the third objective. As long as he fulfilled the third objective, Leo doesn¡¯t have to worry about failing the world assessment. ¡®Master, if you don¡¯tplete the first objective, you will never be a supreme hero. Isn¡¯t that the reason why we came to this city?¡¯ All of a sudden, Leo heard dimir¡¯s voice in his head. ¡®dimir, didn¡¯t I tell you not to use mind-reading on me?¡¯ Leo transmitted his voice to the shadow vampire and asked, ¡®Why are you here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to protect Julia?¡¯ ¡®Master, I can¡¯t follow her anymore.¡¯ dimir replied lowly and continued saying, ¡®Because ¡®The Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ sent a special rank 8 hero to protect Julia. When she entered Ryan¡¯s house, she sensed my existence and hurriedly called rank 9 heroes.¡¯ ¡®Huh? A special rank 8 hero?¡¯ Leo was surprised; however, he revealed a slight smile, ¡®It¡¯s good. They will take care of her from now on.¡¯ ¡®My existence will only put her in trouble. So, I left before the rank 9 heroes arrived.¡¯ After saying that, the shadow vampire asked, ¡®By the way, where are we going, Master?¡¯ ¡®Home.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to use [Space Maniption]; instead, he walked all the way to the manor, which is very close to the city¡¯s outer wall. ¡­.. ¡°What? He came out of the [Treasurend] and He is working for Mr. White?¡± The city leader and the family heads of the three powerful families were shocked when they learned the news about Leo. ¡°Yes. Mr. Leo had already given a ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to our chairman. So, please don¡¯t bother Mr. Leo regarding the items from [Treasurend].¡± ¡°Moreover, Mr. Leo said he will be selling a few things he got from the [Treasurend] through the Icefeather family¡¯s auction house three days from today. You can attend it and buy the items you like.¡± The men working for Mr. White visited those powerhouses, exined everything they were supposed to tell, and left. ¡°He gave away a ¡®Fragment of the god stone¡¯?¡± Everyone was shocked and didn¡¯t doubt that Leo was working for Mr. White anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s attend the auction and see what kind of items he got from the [Treasurend].¡± Soon, everyone decided to attend the auction because they were curious about the [Treasurend] items. However, they knew Leo would not auction off all the items he got from the [Treasurend]. ¡®This Leo, he is more mysterious than we thought. Even the information regarding his hero rank and his talents are not urate.¡¯ Everyone started to feel uneasy with Leo because the information they bought was never wrong until now. However, for the first time, it was not urate because they learned that Leo¡¯s hero rank was rank 7 and that he had the third talent rted to earth. ¡°Keep an eye on him for now.¡± In the end, everyone decided to observe Leo for now and decide what to do with him after gaining more information on him. A young man who had three rare talents and had already be a rank 7 hero before 25 was a rare genius. However, too bad, he was already working for Mr. White. So, all they could do right now was wait and see for an opportunity to either recruit him or erase him. ¡­ Among the three family heads, Oliver was the happiest one because Leo would be using his auction house to auction off the items from the [Treasurend]. On the other hand, Liam was furious because he learned that Leo had evidence of his family¡¯s dirty secret. ¡°If it means going against Mr. White, we should kill that b*stard.¡± Liam decided to kill Leo and apologize to Mr. Whiteter. ¡°Father, since that b*stard is working for Mr. White, you can¡¯t even use the assassin wall from the [Supreme Market] and Clemens got killed in his hands.¡± Zen calmly asked, ¡°So, who should we send?¡± ¡°Where is your Uncle Seth?¡± Liam looked at his son Zen and asked in a serious tone. ¡°He went to Starlight city on a mission. It will take at least a couple of weeks for him to return.¡± Zen answered without thinking much. ¡°Hm¡­then what about your second uncle?¡± ¡°Uncle Mad?¡± Zen was shocked when his father asked about his second uncle. ¡°Father, don¡¯t tell me, you are nning to send Uncle Mad to kill Leo.¡± ¡°Yes. I know your uncle Mad does mad things; however, he has never failed the missions I gave him. Moreover, other than your uncles, I can¡¯t leave this matter to someone from outside the family.¡± Liam scoffed at Zen and urged him to inform his uncle about the mission. ¡°Okay, father.¡± Since he was the reason behind Leo knowing his family¡¯s secret, he could only endure his father¡¯s deadly stare and do whatever he asked him to do. ¡­. The south-east corner of Phirie city, ¡®Let¡¯s see what type of ghost is haunting my manor.¡¯ Looking at the huge manor, Leo silently muttered to himself before walking through the gate. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 90 New System Feature, Choosing an Ability ¡°Master, this building is much bigger than the one we own in Starlight city.¡± dimir was like a curious child checking a room in the mansion andparing it with the mansion they own in Starlight city. ¡°I am going to sleep.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯tment on the mansion; instead, he went into the master bedroom to sleep. Even though it was a Haunted mansion, a few servants still took care of the mansion. The previous owner promised to keep the mansion and garden clean until he officially entered the mansion. Since he had entered the mansion, the servants don¡¯t have to look after the mansion anymore. ¡°Master, since this mansion is big, why don¡¯t we call Davis. It is better than hiring a group of servants.¡± However, dimir didn¡¯t leave Leo alone. ¡°Sigh¡­I bought some enved humans. I can hire them to look after the mansion.¡± Leo sighed as he replied. The reason why Leo didn¡¯t want dimir to follow him was because of his non-stop chatter. ¡°Still, they can¡¯t look after such a huge mansion. So, why don¡¯t we call Davies and be a butler of this mansion?¡± The shadow vampire continued to annoy Leo. ¡°Fine. Call him.¡±-. In the end, Leo could not take Shadow vampire¡¯s chatter anymore and asked him to do whatever he wanted. ¡°Thank you, master.¡± dimir was excited and hurriedly summoned his fastest bat. ¡®Tell Davis that Master Leo is calling him.¡¯ He sent his fastest bat away with an evil smile and muttered, ¡®Soon, I can drink unlimited human blood.¡¯ ¡­. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, morning came. ¡°The pain is not telling me to sleep properly again.¡± Since the system started its upgrade, Leo has been feeling more pain than usual. So, no matter how much he tried to sleep, he could not sleep. ¡®System is suppressing so much pain for me.¡¯ Finally, Leo understood how much pain the system was suppressing for him and hoped the system would finish its upgrade soon. ¡®Ding, The system has been sessfully upgraded. ¡®Ding, The cooldown for the ¡®Talent swallowing ability¡¯ has been reduced to six months. ¡®Ding, A new system feature has been unlocked. Just as Leo was hoping the system to finish its upgrade, he received a series of system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®Finally, the upgrade is done.¡¯ Even though Leo was happy about reducing the cooldown and unlocking a new function, he was happier because his pain from the ¡®Forbidden Curse¡¯ had reduced to 70 percent. ¡®Looks like upgrading the system is worthwhile.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself and checked the new system function. ¡®Ding, [Mission tab] is the new system function that randomly generates a mission depending on the host¡¯s surroundings. ¡®Ding, The system will reward the host with special rewards forpleting those missions. ¡®Oh. So, it is simr to the time you used to give the talent upgrading stone for killing 100 monster kings in a specific rank?¡¯ ¡®Ding, Yes; however, all missions don¡¯t involve killing the monster kings, and the reward will not be the same. ¡®Okay.¡¯ Leo nodded and thought, ¡®Now, I can use the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to reduce the cooldown to three months.¡¯ Each ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ reduced the cooldown by three months. So, Leo wanted to use it since he still had one. ¡®However, didn¡¯t the system say I will gain an ability simr to the ¡®Talent swallowing ability.¡¯ Even though Leo used the God Stone to upgrade the system because he wanted to repay the system¡¯s help, he didn¡¯t mind having an additional ability. ¡®Ding, As a reward for the host¡¯s trust in the system, he will be allowed to pick an ability from the below list. ¡®Ding, 1) Seal swallowing ability: The host can swallow any seal as long as it is not very powerful. 2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed. 3) Bloodline swallowing ability: The host can swallow the bloodlines from the enemies he killed. As though the system heard his thoughts, it sent a couple of system notifications, asking him to pick an ability. ¡®Each one of these abilities will make anyone go crazy.¡¯ After reading about the system notifications, Leo was shocked at the heaven-defying abilities on the holographic screen. ¡®There is no need to think about which ability I want.¡¯ Even though all three abilities were good, Leo didn¡¯t think much and chose [Seal swallowing ability] The reason for selecting that ability was obviously to swallow his ve seal. ¡®I don¡¯t need to swallow pills to increase the level of my talents. So, I don¡¯t have much use for the [True pill swallower].¡¯ ¡®As for the [Bloodline swallowing abiltiy], even though it was as powerful as the [Talent swallowing ability], I have seen only one person awaken a bloodline in my entire life and it was Hermax from the Golden titan race. So, it can be seen how useless this ability is for me.¡¯ ¡®Moreover, I can make good use of the [Seal swallowing ability].¡¯ Leo thought about his ve seal and the enved people he bought yesterday, and the enved humans he would buy in the future. With this ability, he would free them all from the ve seals and return their freedom. ¡®Ding, The awakening process for the [Seal swallowing ability] has been started. Please wait for a few minutes. Leo was eager as he waited for the awakening of his new ability to bepleted. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfully awakened level 1 [Seal swallowing ability]. Finally, after a couple of minutes, Leo received the system notification he was waiting for. Even though he waited only for a couple of minutes, Leo felt like he had waited for a few years. ¡®But why is there a level 1 in front of the [Seal swallowing ability]?¡¯ However, when he carefully read the system notification, Leo frowned and asked the system. His first system ability, the [Talent swallowing ability], didn¡¯t have any levels. So, he was confused to see a level in front of the [Seal swallowing ability]. ¡®Ding, ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 91 Soul Suppressing Slave Seal ¡®Ding, The [Talent swallowing ability] is the primary ability of the system, and whatever abilities that host unlocks in the future, they will be secondary abilities. ¡®Ding, Unlike the primary ability, the host has to increase the level of the secondary abilities to make them powerful. ¡®Oh.¡¯ A couple of system notifications rified Leo¡¯s doubts. ¡®Ding, Secondary ability: Seal swallowing (level 1) Use: The user can devour all kinds of level 1 seals with a touch. Next level requirements: Swallow 100 level 1 seals. Soon, the system showed the basic information of his new ability. ¡®Only level 1 seals? I wonder what the levels of my ve seals are. Leo didn¡¯t know the exact level of his ve seals since the system didn¡¯t show anything about it in the past. However, since the system had just upgraded and even awakened [Seal swallowing ability], Leo guessed he could check the level of his ve seal now. ¡®Ding,-. Detected three ve seals on the host¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s ve seals are level 1, level 2 and level 6, respectively. ¡®Ding, The host can swallow the level 1 ve seal. Do you want to swallow it? A series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head; however, he was not surprised that there were three ve seals on his body. ¡®Yes.¡¯ Leo first swallowed the level 1 ve seal before focusing on the other two ve seals. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The ve seal on Leo¡¯s chest started shining brightly, and green-coloured runes floated out before entering his mouth. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfully swallowed a level 1 ve seal. ¡®Ding, Please upgrade the [Seal swallowing abilty] to swallow the level 2 and level 6 ve seals. Leo didn¡¯t feel much reduction in his pain because level 1 or level 2 ve seals were not affecting him much, but the level 6 ve seal was. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect those b*stards to ce a level 6 ve seal on me just after sting off their mine.¡¯ Leo bitterly smiled and thought, ¡®If I didn¡¯t try to be the leader of the ves, I would have only marked with level 1 and level 2 ve seals.¡¯ When Leo was sent to the mines, he only had a level 1 seal because he was a talentless brat who posed no harm to the higher-ups. However, they were wrong, and it cost them quite a lot of damage. So, they ced a high-level ve seal on him to get him uncontrol. ¡®Since the old remnant spirit said it was a human who ced this ve seal, he must be colluding with the Manticores and ck suits. You wait, b*stard. Once I finish my main objective in Phirie city, I aming for you.¡¯ Leo could not wait to find the mysterious ve marker and kill him. However, he had other important things to do. ¡®Come out.¡¯ Leo summoned the Moonlight unicorn he bought in the premium auction, keeping his thoughts aside. It looked at Leo with soulless eyes, just like a robot. ¡®Ding, Detected a level 7 special soul suppressing ve seal. ¡®Ding, The host needs to upgrade the [Seal swallowing ability] to level 8 to swallow it. ¡®What? It is a level 7 seal?¡¯ Leo was surprised because it was quite a high-level seal. ¡®Sigh¡­such a mighty creature has now turned into a soulless creature.¡¯ No matter how cold Leo looked on the surface, he was quite emotional when it came to the enved beings. Be it a human or a mutated beast, or even a monster, Leo always had one principle after experiencing the hellish life of an enved person in the mines. ¡®Free the ves and stop the ve marker.¡¯ Right now, Leo didn¡¯t have the power to go against the ve marker who was hiding in the shadows and controlling the major and minor events in the world. However, he doesn¡¯t have to be powerful to free them. Since all he had to do was pay the money, buy the enved people, and give them a new life. ¡®As for stopping them from enving more humans, I need to wait until I be a Supreme Hero.¡¯ Even though he had multiple talents, Leo could not go against an organization like ¡®ck suits¡¯. Moreover, there is also a supreme hero who was helping them in enving humans, monsters and mutated beasts. ¡®But who would have thought that the system has [Seal swallowing ability]. I canpletely erase their ve seals and give a bright new life with this ability.¡¯ Leo walked closer to the Moonlight Unicorn and slightly caressed its mane. ¡°It looks like you have to be longer than me.¡± To swallow his ve seal, Leo only needed level 6 [Seal swallowing ability]; however, to swallow the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s ve seal, he needed a level 8, which would, without a doubt, take quite some time. ¡°Until then, I will take good care of your child.¡± In the next second, an egg appeared in Leo¡¯s hand as he promised the Moonlight Unicorn that he would take good care of its child. ¡®Is it crying?¡¯ Leo saw tearse out of the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s eyes and was surprised. ¡°Just hang in there, and I will break the seal and free you.¡± ¡®Drip¡¯ As Leo was promising the Moonlight Unicorn, a teardrop fell on the egg and in the next moment, the egg lightly started glowing. ¡°Is iting out?¡± Leo was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly ced it on the bed. ¡®Let¡¯s give it a little bit of heat.¡¯ cing his hands some distance away from the egg, Leo released slight heat waves from his [Mighty Combustion] talent. He was careful and confident, as though it was not his first time hatching a mutated beast¡¯s egg. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Soon, the egg started cracking slowly. ¡®Ding, If the host drops a single drop of blood on the egg, the mutated beast thates out of the egg will consider you its parent. On the other hand, the system suggested Leo drop the blood on the egg before the ponyes out. ¡®Its mother is still alive. So, there is no need for me to be its parent.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have an interest in forming a contract with a newborn mutated beast just because it would be a powerful mutated beast in the future. ¡®Nevertheless, I can be its friend.¡¯ The system was just suggesting for his sake. So, he replied to the system about his decision with a reason. ¡®Squeal¡¯ Soon, a high-pitched cry came from the egg before all the egg shells fell apart. ¡®It looks quite healthy.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and picked the small pony from the bed. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 92 12 Beauties The pony in Leo¡¯s hands was only 10 centimeters and with pure white colour. There were only two words that could be used to describe the pony. Small and Cute. Its big ck eyes were curiously checking the surroundings beforending on Leo. ¡®Ding, Mutated spirit beast: Moonlight Unicorn (Infant). Strength: Rank 1 Skills: Self-healing (Passive). Soon, the system sent the brief information about the pony in his hand. However, Leo only nced at it before putting the pony in front of the rank 9 moonlight unicorn. ¡®Squeal¡¯ Looking at the rank 9 unicorn, the pony felt some connection and wobbled towards it. However, the rank 9 moonlight unicorn didn¡¯t move and looked at Leo. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Leo sighed and said, ¡°From now on, you must take care of it.¡± Since Leo held the soul stone, the Moonlight Unicorn needed Leo¡¯s order even to take care of its own child. ¡®Neigh¡¯ The moonlight unicorn could not express its emotion even after receiving Leo¡¯s order because of the soul suppressing the ve seal. It only neighed in reply and stood in the same ce. ¡®Sigh¡­why do they have to make the mutated spirit beasts into robots?¡¯ Leo understood why the moonlight unicorn was not moving from its ce.-. ording to Leo¡¯s order, it had to protect the pony; however, currently, the pony is rtively safe, and there was no need for the moonlight unicorn to take any action. So, it was on standby. ¡°Do you want to stay here or return to the Beast storage device?¡± Leo could feel the moonlight unicorn¡¯s pain and asked it. Even though it could see its child, it could not show its love or y with it. So, instead of happiness, it was more like torture for the moonlight unicorn. ¡®Blink¡¯ The moonlight unicorn blinked when Leo mentioned theter part of his words. ¡®Okay. Don¡¯t worry. I will take care of your child.¡¯ Even though there was a soul suppressing ve seal on the moonlight unicorn¡¯s body, it was able to understand Leo¡¯s words. So, he once again promised the moonlight unicorn before sending it back into the Beast storage device. ¡®Squeal¡¯ The pony rereleased a low-pitched voice. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Master, you are raising a new infant beast again?¡± Suddenly, dimir entered the room and was surprised to see the white pony in Leo¡¯s hands. ¡°Until Davises, it is your responsibility.¡± Leo didn¡¯t answer dimir¡¯s question; instead, he gave the pony to the shadow vampire beforeing out of the manor. ¡®Me?¡¯ dimir looked at the pony in his hands, looking at him with its ¡®Puppy eyes¡¯. ¡­ ¡°What is taking them so long?¡± Aftering out of the manor, Leo looked into the distance and muttered to himself. ¡®Vroom¡¯ After a few minutes, a huge truck entered his courtyard and stopped right in front of the manor. ¡°Sir Leo, please sign here.¡± A young man jumped off the truck and asked Leo to sign. ¡°The 100 ves are waiting for Sir Leo in the mine, and as for the 12 beauties, they are inside the truck.¡± With a perverted smile, the delivery man said to Leo in a low voice. ¡°Okay¡± Leo nodded with a calm look. ¡°What are you waiting for? Come out and greet your master.¡± The deliveryman shouted. ¡®Tap¡¯ ¡®Tap¡¯ Soon, one beautiful young woman after another walked out of the truck. All 12 young women were wearing beautiful long gowns, and aftering out of the truck, they respectfully bowed to Leo. ¡°We greet master.¡± ¡°Hm¡± Leo nodded and looked at the deliveryman before tossing a few hero coins. ¡°Thank you, Sir Leo.¡± Taking the tip from Leo, the delivery man gave the ve sheet that controlled the fates of all 112 enved people. After that, he left with his truck with a happy smile. ¡­ ¡°Master, we are waiting for your orders.¡± As soon as Leo and the 12 beautiful young women entered the manor, they respectfully asked Leo¡¯s orders. Even though they were respectful on the surface, they were scared of Leo. From the time they saw him in the [Supreme Market], he always had a stern look, and from his conversation with the stall owner, they could tell that Leo was not any different than the one who turned them into enved people. Nevertheless, they could only follow his orders since he was their new master. ¡°Prrr¡± Leo looked at them for a moment before tearing off the ve sheet. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Why did he tear off the ve sheet.¡± ¡°Without it, he can¡¯t threaten us anymore.¡± . . The 12dies were shocked and surprised before revealing happy looks. ¡°I bought you to free you; however, tearing the ve sheet will not make you free.¡± Looking at their happy smiles, Leo calmly informed them. ¡°Even though you feel relieved right now, the ve seals on your bodies will absorb the life energy from your bodies and slowly kill you.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Absorb our life energy?¡± ¡°Are you telling the truth, Sir?¡± Everyone was shocked to hear Leo¡¯s words, but they were still doubtful regarding Leo¡¯s words. However, they still remained polite to Leo and called him ¡®Sir¡¯; instead of ¡®Master¡¯. ¡°I can help you remove those ve seals from your bodies; in return, you have to be the maids in my mansion for the next six months.¡± Even though he sympathized with the enved beings, Leo didn¡¯t want his feelings to be known to them. So, he maintained his usual cold look and gave them an offer. Leo made that offer after thinking a bit. Because Leo knew very well that if he continued to help the enved without asking anything in return, they would take advantage of him. So, from the beginning, he acted nonchntly. ¡°Those who want their ve seals removed, you can stay in my manor; those who want to enjoy their freedom, they can leave the manor without worrying about anything.¡± As the 12dies thought about Leo¡¯s offer, he added a few more lines. He had already freed them, and even though the ve seals will absorb their life energy, they could easily find some treasures filled with vitality to recover their lost life energy. ¡°Since Sir has freed us, we will stay in the manor and take care of it to repay sir¡¯s gratitude.¡± Suddenly, one of 12dies walked toward Leo, and with a respectful bow, she agreed to Leo¡¯s offer without any hesitation. ¡®A quick-witted one.¡¯ Leo nodded andmented on the first youngdy that agreed to his offer. ¡°We will also agree to the offer.¡± Soon, the remaining 11dies also agreed to Leo¡¯s offer; however, they were still hesitant. ¡°What is your name?¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t bother about them. Instead, he asked the first youngdy who agreed to his offer. ¡°Elena.¡± ¡°For today, you can rest in the servant rooms on the left wing of the manor. By the evening, a butler will enter the mansion. He will guide you on how to take care of the manor.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Elena and the other youngdies nodded, agreeing to Leo¡¯s words. ¡°Elena, follow me to my room. As for the others, wait here for a while. I will call you one by one.¡± After finishing his words, Leo turned around and walked into his room, leaving 12 youngdies with mixed emotions. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 93 Swallowing the Slave Seals ¡°Elena, what is taking you so long?¡± In his room, Leo frowned when he saw Elena was not entering. So, he called her again. After hesitating a bit, Elena clenched her fists and entered Leo¡¯s room. ¡°Close the door.¡± Leo asked her to close the door, making Elena¡¯s heart even more anxious. ¡°Sir Leo, isn¡¯t it too early to do it?¡± Elena closed the door; however, she didn¡¯t walk toward Leo and said it was too early to do it. ¡°I have other things to do at night. So, let¡¯s finish it now.¡± Leo replied and urged her, ¡°Come fast. The others are waiting behind you.¡± ¡®What? Where did this monstere from?¡¯ It was the first thought in Elena¡¯s head; however, she knew she was in no position to go against Leo. ¡®He is powerful and rich. So, even if I have to use my body, I should use it and gain his favour. After that, I can take revenge on behalf of my family.¡¯ Elena clenched her fists, and she didn¡¯t care about anything anymore. Currently, she thought other than her body, there was nothing she could use to gain Leo¡¯s favour. Moreover, she already owes him for bringing her out of the cage. ¡®Elena, you can do it.¡¯ Soon, she encouraged herself and started undressing. ¡°I know you have a great well-developed body, but why did you remove your clothes?¡± Leo frowned when he saw Elena, who unzipped her long gown and was standing with her bare body.-. ¡°Huh?¡± Elena frowned and asked, ¡°So, Sir Leo wants to remove the clothes?¡± Without wasting any time, she wore her clothes and said, ¡°Now, I am ready. Sir Leo can do anything you want with me.¡± ¡°Ahem¡­it looks like there is some kind of misunderstanding.¡± Clearing his throat, Leo replied to Elena in a low tone. ¡°Huh? Misunderstanding?¡± It was Elena¡¯s turn to get surprised. ¡°Yes. I asked you toe to my room to break your ve seal from your body.¡± Leo nodded and exined the reason he called her. ¡°And you are going to do the same for others too?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°But why did you ask me to close the door?¡± Elena felt Leo was not lying; however, she still didn¡¯t understand why Leo asked her to close the door if it was only for breaking the ve seal on her body. ¡°Because I don¡¯t want anyone to see how I break the ve seal, including yourself.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want others to know that he could swallow the seals. So, he wanted to invite one youngdy after another to break their ve seals. ¡°I am sorry, Sir Leo. I misunderstood you.¡± Seeing the cold look on Leo¡¯s face, Elena was embarrassed by her earlier actions and hurriedly apologized. ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any more time. I have other things to take care of.¡± Leo didn¡¯t forget about the 100 enved people waiting for him in the mine behind the manor. However, he wanted to swallow the ve seals of the youngdies before going there. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Elena hurriedly rushed forward and stood in front of Leo. ¡°Close your eyes, and don¡¯t open it until I say so.¡± Leo slowly ced his palm on her waist. ¡®¡­¡¯ Feeling Leo¡¯s palm on her waist, Elena tightly shut her eyes. Earlier, when Elena removed her clothes, Leo saw the location of the ve seal, which was on her waist, and to swallow the seal, he had to touch the ce where the seal was marked. ¡®Ding, Detected a level 1 ve seal. Do you want to swallow it? Soon, he received a system notification informing him about the seal. ¡®Yes¡¯ Soon, green-coloured runes passed through Elena¡¯s clothes and entered Leo¡¯s mouth. ¡°It¡¯s over. You can open your eyes now.¡± After swallowing the tasteless ve seal, Leo asked Elena to open her eyes, who was surprised because it¡¯s been only a few seconds, and Leo had already destroyed the ve seal. ¡°Thank you, Sir Leo.¡± Nevertheless, she didn¡¯t doubt Leo¡¯s words and hurriedly thanked him even more respectfully before saying, ¡°I go and inform the others, in case they misunderstand Sir Leo¡¯s words like me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded. ¡­ After five minutes, ¡®Ding, The host swallowed a level 1 ve seal. ¡®Phew¡­more 88 level 1 ve seals.¡¯ Leo took five minutes to swallow the ve seals from the 12 youngdies. Other than helping them, Leo was excited about the progress of his new ability because the sooner he could reach level 6, the sooner he could break his level 6 ve mark. ¡°Finally, it is time to enter the mine.¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste any time going to the mine, just behind the manor. The mine area was covered from three sides, and on the fourth side was the cave¡¯s opening, which was blocked by his manor. Overall, it was a location where nothing could be seen from a distance. ¡°Master.¡± They had already seen Leo yesterday. So, when they saw Leo walking toward them, they hurriedly bowed to him with a face full of respect. ¡°Do you want to be free?¡± However, he first asked them whether they wanted to be free. ¡°Yes, master.¡± Everyone replied in unison. Which enved person didn¡¯t want to be free in this world? Everyone wants to be free. ¡°What will you do if you be free?¡± Leo asked them another question. ¡°¡­¡± However, unlike before, no one replied this time because they were clueless regarding what to do if they became free. The moment someone bes enved, the chances of bing a free person are almost impossible. That¡¯s why they didn¡¯t think much about it until now. ¡°Do you have families left in this world?¡± Slowly, Leo asked his third question. ¡°¡­¡± Everyone became silent for a moment before replying with a ¡®No.¡¯ ¡°I will break your ve seals, give you a job to work, a ce to live. All you have to do is continue living. Can you do that?¡± Leo took a deep breath and gave them a pretty good offer. ¡°We can do that easily, sir.¡± No one thought much about it as they hurriedly agreed to Leo¡¯s offer. For them, living in the outside world is very dangerous. If the one who kidnapped them previously saw them roaming freely in the streets, they might be kidnapping them again. Moreover, no families were waiting for them. So, the best thing for them is to find a stable ce and job to live in. Since Leo was offering them all those things, they might as well agree with him. In the past, Leo was once in a situation where he had sessfully escaped from the cage. However, he got kidnapped again when searching for some food. So, he knew what they needed the most. ¡®All they need now is a ce to stay and some time to think about their future.¡¯ Leo silently thought to himself before shouting, ¡°Everyone, close your eyes.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± In their life, they have never seen a person as generous as Leo. Moreover, since the other party had promised to break their ve seals, they didn¡¯t mind closing their eyes for a few minutes. ¡®It¡¯s time to level up my [Seal swallowing ability].¡¯ Leo started swallowing the level 1 ve seals from the 100 enved people with a slight smile. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 94 Bulter Davis Arrives ¡®Ding, The host has sessfully swallowed 100 level 1 ve seals. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal swallowing ability] has been upgraded to level 2. Leo received the system notifications regarding his secondary ability¡¯s upgrade; however, he only focused on swallowing the ve seals. ¡°Thank you, Sir Leo.¡± The 100 young men bowed to Leo. Not only did he free them from the cages, but he also destroyed the ve seals on their bodies, giving them a new life. So, they were grateful to Leo. ¡°Now, I want someone from you to be incharge of everyone. Is there anyone interested in taking charge?¡± Without wasting any time, Leo asked them. Soon, three young men raised their hands, showing interest in looking after everyone. ¡°Oh. Three members are interested. Good.¡± Leo was a little bit surprised to see three hands in the air. Generally, the enved humans would lose all their courage and be timid. Even though their ve seals were destroyed, they have already be timid. So, Leo was hoping if even one member showed courage, it would be good; however, three young men retained their courage, to his surprise.-. ¡°Names.¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t show his surprise and asked for their names. ¡°My name is Nathan.¡± ¡°Jacob¡± ¡°Riley¡± The three young men respectfully said their names. ¡°From now on, you three are in charge of the young men behind you.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Leo.¡± ¡°Take this and bring necessary things for everyone.¡± Leo gave them 100 Hero coins which were more than enough for the 100 enved people to live for a month even if they spent carelessly. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t forget to tell them he would be cutting that money from their sries. So, without a doubt, they would not spend the Hero coins carelessly. ¡­. ¡°Who are you?¡± After settling their way of living for the next one month, Leo asked the 100 enved people who became free. ¡°We are workers working for Sir Leo.¡± Since Leo had a huge manor and a mine with a spacious area around them, he needed a lot of workers to take care of those things. Moreover, he had enough money to feed them in return for their work. ¡°Okay. If you have any doubts or are facing any problems, you can inform the butler of the manor.¡± After finishing his words, Leo walked back to the manor. ¡°Master.¡± As soon as he returned to the manor, an old man in a butler uniform bowed to Leo. ¡°Davis, you have arrived sooner than I thought.¡± Leo was pleasantly surprised to see Davis because he expected him to arrive in the evening. ¡°Master, I heard you needed a butler to take care of your manor and mine. So, I didn¡¯t waste any time rushing to Phirie city.¡± Davis replied in a respectful tone. ¡°It looks like dimir is missing your blood. I guess I need to scold him a little bit.¡± How could Leo not understand it was dimir who urged Davis toe here as fast as he could. ¡°There is no need to scold him, master.¡± Davis replied with a slight smile, ¡°I don¡¯t think that brat is really after my blood. He might be worrying about Master¡¯s safety.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Leo remained silent without saying anything. ¡°Master, you need to finish your revenge before the pain kills you. After your revenge, you can easily be a Supreme hero.¡± Butler Davis had a worried look when he said those words. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Davis. Within one month, I am nning toplete my revenge.¡± Leo replied with a slight smile and said, ¡°You need to take care the manor, mine and the ves who became free.¡± ¡°Of course. I will do my best like always.¡± ¡°Keep an eye on them with your [Shadow clones]. I don¡¯t want them creating unnecessary problems like in Starlight city.¡± ¡°Yes, Mater.¡± Davis became serious as he nodded in understanding. ¡­. Inside Leo¡¯s room, ¡®To upgrade the [Seal swallowing ability] to level 3, I need to swallow 10000 level 1 seals or 100 level 2 seals.¡¯ Leo checked the next level requirement for the [Seal swallowing abilty]. ¡®Should I visit the [Supreme market] again and but the beasts and monsters with level 2 ve ss?¡¯ Leo could only think of going back to the [Supreme Market] because he could only find the seal in that ce. ¡®No. I should take a break before going back to [Supreme Market].¡¯ However, in the next second, he rejected that idea and decided to wait until the stall owner informed him about the arrival of the next batch of enved people. ¡®At that time, I will buy all enved beings in his stall and increase the level of my [Seal swallowing ability].¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about his secondary ability and thought about his following actions. ¡®I have to meet Dominic and others and give them some of the items I got from the [Treasurend].¡¯ ¡®And, I have to prepare some rare items for the uing auction.¡¯ Since he promised to auction off the items he got from the [Treasurend], Leo wanted to prepare some rare items. ¡®After finishing the items, I will wipe the Ambermane family.¡¯ Leo revealed an evil smile as he decided to start his revenge with the Ambermane family. Even though the Ambermane family might be one of three powerful families in Phirie city; however, in Leo¡¯s eyes, it was nothing. He was dying the destruction of the Ambermane family because he didn¡¯t want to expose his identity before killing the city lord. Once the city lord knows Leo¡¯s identity, he would try to kill Leo, or if he sensed that he could not defeat Leo, he would escape. Leo didn¡¯t want that to happen because a runaway Supreme Hero would be more dangerous than a Supreme Hero that fights to the death. ¡®Ding, The mission tab has generated a mission. Please open the mission tab to check. Suddenly, a system notification appeared in his head, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®The mission tab has already generated a new mission?¡¯ It got unlocked an hour back, and it already generated a mission. So, he was surprised and curiously checked the mission. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked when he saw his first mission from the system. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 95 Monster in Disguise ¡®Ding, Mission name: Monster in Disguise. Details: A rank 9 monster disguised as a human in Phirie city detected the supreme grade eggs in the host¡¯s possession. It is only one step away from bing a Supreme monster, and the eggs provide sufficient energy for it to be one. Objective: Kill the monster at any cost. Reward: City creation token. Mission Failure: If the monster escapes, the host will be hunted by the entire world. Leo rubbed his eyes, checked the holographic screen¡¯s information, and said, ¡®It is real¡¯. ¡®System, is it the same [City creation token] where the otherworldly beings used to build these cities?¡¯ Leo suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked the system. ¡®Ding, Yes; however, the grade of the [City creation token] depends on the time taken by the host to finish the mission. ¡®Excellent. Once I get the [Citiy creation token], I can create my own city.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and thought, ¡®If I own a city, it will be much easier for me to defeat the city leder Theodore.¡¯ Even if Leo became a supreme hero, it was impossible to defeat or kill the city leader Theodore inside the city because the city leaders could activate a Killing formation inside the city to kill his enemies. Previously, Leo had already nned how to make the city leader Theodoree out of the city. However, if he became a city leader and owned a city, he wouldn¡¯t have to use underrated tricks to kill the city leader Theodore. ¡®For now, I should focus on the mission and get my hands on the [City creation token].¡¯-. Leo felt happy that he chose to upgrade the system instead of either increasing his Hero rank or breaking his seal because he never knew when he was going to find a second God stone. ¡®Since it can sense the supreme grade eggs, I can choose my location to fight, right?¡¯ The monster could only sense the supreme-grade eggs ording to the system. So, he decided to go out of the city because fighting a rank 9 monster would cause amotion and attract the powerhouses of Phirie city. ¡­.. Some distance away from Leo¡¯s manor, ¡®I can sense the supreme grade eggs from that haunted manor.¡¯ An old man with a huge trash basket behind him looked at the manor in the distance and revealed an evil smile. ¡®From yesterday night, the eggs didn¡¯t move from the ce and there is only a single injured rank 9 hero in the manor. It looks like I can make my move tonight and throw the me on the haunted manor.¡¯ The old man chuckled as he was sure that no one could stop him from getting his hands on those two supreme-grade eggs. ¡®I don¡¯t know where he got those eggs but as long as I consume them, I can be a supreme grade monster.¡¯ ¡°Hey, old man. Stop spacing out and collect the trash.¡± The supervisor of the trash collecting unit shouted at the old man, who was lost in his thoughts. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± The old man revealed an innocent smile and started collecting the trash. ¡­. After a couple of hours, ¡®Dominic, use this ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ and be a rank 8 hero. After the auction in two days, we are going to eliminate the Ambermane Family.¡¯ ¡®Give this shadow sword to Mikhael. It is a perfect match with his talent and sword mastery.¡¯ ¡®As for Reba, ask her to use this Elite talent upgrading stone to upgrade her second talent [Telepathy] to level 7. I hope the range ofmunication increases after the talent bes an advanced talent.¡¯ Before going out of the city, Leo didn¡¯t forget to visit Dominic secretly. ¡®Boss, are you really giving me the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯?¡¯ Dominic was not surprised by the items Leo gave to Mikhael and Reba; however, the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ was far too valuable. ¡®Yes. You know how important this revenge is to me, right? There should be no mistake in the data you collected so far.¡¯ Leo nodded and reminded Dominic of the importance of the mission. ¡®Don¡¯t worry, Boss. I will make sure that nothing goes wrong while erasing the Ambermane family.¡¯ Dominic assured Leo not to worry about it. ¡®By the way, are the others joining us in the mission?¡¯ After assuring Leo, Dominic suddenly thought of something and asked. ¡®No. It will be just me and your squad.¡¯ Leo replied to Dominic before entering the secret dimension and leaving the Ambermane family grounds. ¡®Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check the details in the mission tab. As Leo came out of the Ambermane family grounds, he received a system notification regarding a new mission. ¡®What? Another mission?¡¯ Leo was not expecting another mission because he had yet to finish the first mission. ¡®Who cares how many missions the system generates. As long as it provides good rewards, I don¡¯t mindpleting them.¡¯ Nevertheless, he was happy toplete two missions simultaneously and have great rewards. ¡®Open¡¯ He opened the mission tab and checked the mission details with a thought. ¡®Ding, Mission name: Strike before the Enemy. Details: The family head Liam didn¡¯t want the Ambermane family¡¯s dirty secret to be known by anyone. So, he ns to send the third strongest hero from their family to kill the host. Objective: The host has to erase the entire Ambermane family before he gets attacked by them. Take them by surprise and erase them before they realize what¡¯s happening. Mission reward: A map to the [God ruins]. ¡®As expected of the Ambermane family, they will not rest until I die.¡¯ Leo was not surprised that the Ambermane family was already nning to kill them despite the fact that he made Mr. White inform them that he was working for them. ¡®I would havepleted this mission even without any reward.¡¯ Leo was telling the truth to erase the Ambermane family, and he didn¡¯t need any rewards. Nevertheless, he was happy that he would be getting a map to the [God ruins]. ¡®Change in ns.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and went back into the Ambermane family and informed Dominic, ¡®We will erase this family tomorrow night. Start the preparations.¡¯ There were two reasons Leo was not destroying the Ambermane family today itself. One, they need to make some preparations to avoid leaving any traces behind. Two, Leo had already made ns for tonight with the ¡®Monster in disguise¡¯. ¡®Okay, Boss.¡¯ Dominic didn¡¯t ask why Leo changed the ns and nodded. ¡­.. ¡®It¡¯s time to find a good location for the fight.¡¯ Aftering out of the Ambermane family grounds, Leo started his ns for his first mission, ¡®Monster in disguise¡¯. ¡®I think it will be better to select the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ location as I can farm the [Experience] and [Promote points] using the ¡®Divine Comprehension Pill¡¯.¡¯ Leo thought about the pill he got from the [Treasurend] and decided to use it because its effectssted for a whole month. ¡®For the next one month, there will be a lot of bloodshed in Phirie city and in Soliatary forests.¡¯ Without wasting any more time, Leo rushed out of the city. ¡®Haha¡­so this brat holds the eggs? Good. I can get the eggs much easier than I thought.¡¯ After Leo left the city, the trash-collecting old man looked at Leo¡¯s silhouette and revealed a twin-forked tongue. ¡®I already left my scent on your body, no matter where you go, I wille and find you, brat.¡¯ With that thought, the old man silently went back into the city. For some reason, he was unable to go after Leo right away; however, he was not worried much about finding Leo in the wilderness. Unlike the regr monsters, the monster disguised as an old man excels in tracking and sensing things. That¡¯s how he was able to find the presence of two supreme grade eggs and even the strength of the Bulter Davis. ¡­.. ¡®Ding, The monster in disguise has left a unique tracking scent on the host body. ¡®I noticed it too.¡¯ Outside the city, Leo received the system notification regarding the tracking scent. He already noticed it when he was at the outer city wall, and that¡¯s why he left the city without worrying that the monster could not find him in the wilderness. ¡®With the unique scent, he will be tracking his own death.¡¯ Leo continued his journey to the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ with a slight smile. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 96 Grinding for [Experience Points] and [Promote Points] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Using his [Space maniption] talent, Leo reached the Solitary forest in less than an hour. ¡®It¡¯s time to farm the [Experience points] and [Promote points].¡¯ Even though Leo had used his talent multiple times ining to the Solitary forest, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time. He tossed a couple of energy recovery pills into his mouth and recovered all the energy he spent using his talent. ¡®Gulp¡¯ In the next second, he tossed a shining pill into his mouth. ¡®Ding, The host has consumed a divineprehension pill. The host will receive 10x times the original experience points he used to gain. Soon, Leo received the system notification. ¡®Call of the Undead.¡¯ ¡°Come out my undead beings. Let¡¯s clear this [Unclearednd].¡± Leo summoned exactly 100 undead beings of all sizes with a slight smile. ¡®Rar¡¯ As soon as they heard Leo¡¯s order, the 100 undead beings rushed in various directions and started killing the monsters.-. As for the mutated beasts, the undead beings didn¡¯t initiate the attack; however, if a mutated beast initiates an attack, they would not hold back. Among the 100 undead beings, the ten rank 9 undead beings were two humans, three mutated beasts, and five monster kings. Of the remaining 90 undead beings, 30 were rank 8, and 60 were rank 7. After killing, Leo never bothered to turn the beings below rank 7 into undead beings. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead beings killed 10 rank 9 monsters. ¡®Ding, The host gained 10 x 300 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead beings killed 28 rank 8 monsters. ¡®Ding, The host gained 28 x 200 [Promote points]. . . Soon, Leo started receiving the system notifications in his head and felt a lot of [Experience points] enter his body. ¡®Why am I getting only 300 [Promote points] for killing a rank 9 monster?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to check the [Experience points]; instead, he focused on [Promote points]. So, he frowned when he saw the low number of [Promote points]. In the [Reality Domain], when Leo¡¯s undead killed the frost devil, he received 1000 [Promote points]; however, he received only 300, which was only 30 percent. ¡®Is it because these monsters are wild and the frost devil has a world?¡¯ Leo was intelligent enough to guess why the system agreed with him. ¡®Let it be. I have so many undead beings. So, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t bother much about it once he found the reason for such low [Promote points]. ¡®At this speed, [Call of the Undead] might reach peak level 9.¡¯ Leo could tell he was getting huge [Experience points] thanks to the divineprehension pill. ¡®Only if I can share the experience points from this talent with other talents, I would have already upgraded the other talents to level 9.¡¯ Since the undead beings were connected to his talent [Call of the Undead], the experience points gained by the undead beings could only be used to upgrade that talent. Leo was able to upgrade the [Call of the Undead] from level 1 to level 9 in just a single year because of his undead army. So, he always felt like sharing the experience points to other talents. However, it was not possible. ¡®Show all my talents along with their levels and potentials.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo asked the system. ¡®Ding, Talents 1) Mighty Combustion (level 8), Potential (1/100). 2) Space Maniption (level 8), Potential (1/100). 3) Call of the Undead (Level 9), Potential (63/100). 4) Earth Maniption (level 9), Potential (45/100). 5) Haunting of Ecstasy (level 1), Potential (0/100). 6) Talent Promoter (level 1), Potential (0/100). 7) Absolute Devour (level 1), Potential (0/100). Soo, the list of his talents and their levels and potentials appeared before Leo. ¡®Which talent should I focus on?¡¯ Looking at the list of his talents, Leo started thinking. ¡®I can use another level 9 talent for tomorrow night¡¯s n; however, even if I keep on using these two level 8 talents for an entire day, I can¡¯t upgrade the two level 8 talents to level 9.¡¯ Looking at the first two talents, Leo intently rejected them, focusing on them for now. Generally, a level 8 talent already requires a lot of [Experience points], and special talents like [Mighty Combustion] and [Space Maniption] require twice the [Experience points] than the regr talents. ¡®Even though it is just a waste of my time to farm for level 9 talents, the undead beings will grind the talent [Call of the Unead] for me. So, I will let them grind.¡¯ For some reason, Leo didn¡¯t want to waste his time increasing the potential for his level 9 talents. So, he rejected [Earth Maniption] without thinking much. He would have done the same for the [Call of the Undead] if he was not getting the passive [Experince points] with the help of the undead summons. ¡®So, that leaves me with the level 1 talents.¡¯ Among the three-level 1 talents, Leo was attracted to [Talent Promoter]. As long as he increased the [Talent Promoter] level, he could upgrade his other talents with the help of the [Promote points]. ¡®System, how many [Promote points] I have gained so far.¡¯ While waiting for the ¡®Monster in disguise¡¯, Leo wanted to use all the [Promote points] he had gained. Therefore, he asked the system about the [Promote points] he had. ¡®Ding, [Promote points]: 18000. ¡®18000? It¡¯s time to upgrade my newest talent [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Since he had already added the [Absolute Devour] to the [Talent Promoter], Leo decided to spend the [Promote points] directly. ¡®Ding, The talent [Absolute Devour] is upgraded to level 2. Note: For level 3, this talent needs 4000 [Promote points]. ¡®Spend 4000 promote points.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The talent [Absolute Devour] is upgraded to level 3. Note: For level 4, this talent needs 20000 [Promote points]. Leo didn¡¯t check the changes in the upgraded talent; instead, he upgraded it twice in a row. ¡®What? 20000 [Promote points]?¡¯ Leo was shocked by the sudden increase in the [Promote points] for the next level upgrade. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 100 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 200 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 97 Level 2 [Talent Promoter] ¡®Even though I expected it would require a lot of [Promote points], I didn¡¯t expect it would need 20000 points.¡¯ Leo silently thought. ¡®Anyway,my undead summons can farm for the [Promote points]. So, I don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t think much and waited until he had enough [Promote points] to upgrade. In the [Unclearednds], it was thew of the jungle, ¡®The survival of the fittest. So, Leo was not hesitant in killing the monsters and the mutated beasts in the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯. If he didn¡¯t kill them now, they would attack the cities in the future. ¡®Moreover, these wild monsters might use the world assessment as an opportunity to take over their world. So, it is better to kill them and turn them into [Experience points] and [Promote points].¡¯ Under the continuous killing of the undead beings, Leo¡¯s [Promote points] had reached 20000 thousand in less than five minutes. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ ¡®Ding, The talent [Absolute Devour] is upgraded to level 4. ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t use [Talent Promoter] to upgrade [Absolute Devour]. Leo upgraded his talent [Absolute devour] to level 4, which means it was now an elite ss talent. So, Leo can¡¯t upgrade it anymore. ¡®If I can¡¯t upgrade it anymore, I can upgrade another basic talent, right?¡¯ Leo asked the system. ording to the information under [Talent Promoter], at its current level, he could only upgrade one basic talent at one time.-. However, since [Absolute Devour] was no longer a basic talent, Le thought he could upgrade his other basic talent. ¡®Ding, The host has used the [Talent Promoter] to upgrade a basic talent into an elite talent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Promoter] is upgraded to level 2. Note: This talent is not boosted by the ¡®Divine Comprehension Pill¡¯ effects. ¡®It¡¯s upgraded to level 2 already?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised. Moreover, since [Talent Promoter] was a special talent, it didn¡¯t receive the effects from external things. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Talent Promoter (Level 2). Current promote points: 3333. Talents promoted: 1. Note: It can only promote two basic talents at the current level. Without wasting any time, Leo checked the [Talent Promoter] changes and revealed a slight smile when he saw ¡®Note¡¯. ¡®If my guess is right, the talent upgrades to level 3 if I upgrade two basic talents into elite talents.¡¯ Leo guessed; however, he focused on upgrading hisst level 1 talent [Haunting of Ecstasy]. ¡®Add [Haunting of Ecstasy] to the [Talent Promoter] and upgrade it to level 2.¡¯ After upgrading the [Absolute Devour] into an elite talent, Leo had gained enough understanding of his [Talent Promoter]. Therefore, he upgraded his talent [Haunting of Ecstasy] to level 3. ¡®Ding, The talent is [Haunting of Ecstasy] upgraded to level 3. Note: For level 4, this talent needs 10000 [Promote points]. Since [Haunting of Ecstasy] is not a special talent, it required only half of the [Promote points] required for a rare talent like [Absolute Devour]. ¡®As my undead summons farm for the [Promote Points] and the [Experince points], let¡¯s check the [Absolute Devour].¡¯ He used all his [Promote points]. Hence, he has to wait until his undead summons umte. Meanwhile, he opened the [Absolute Devour] information and revealed a slight smile. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Absolute Devour (Level 4). Effect: 1) Five percent chance of awakening the talents of the beings consumed by the user after killing them. 2) One percent chance of awakening the skills of the wild monsters and the mutated beasts consumed by the user after killing them. 3) The talents and skills awakened in this manner can be upgraded by consuming the beings killed by the user. ¡®The chances of gaining the talents of my killed enemies has increased from 1 percent to 5 percent.¡¯ Even though 5 percent was still low,pared to 1 percent, it was much better. ¡®Moreover, there is a new effect where I can even devour the monsters and the mutated beasts.¡¯ Leo¡¯s [Talent Swallowing ability] was currently useless against the monsters and the mutated beasts. However, he could try his luck with this new effect and gain a few skills. Therefore, Leo was satisfied with it and decided to use it. ¡®Since the pre-requisite of this talent is I can only awaken the skill if only I kill it.¡¯ Even though Leo had hundreds of corpses around him, Leo shook his head and went in a direction where his undead summons didn¡¯t go. ¡®A pack of amberwolves. Nice.¡¯ After entering a few kilometers deeper into the Solitary forest, Leo saw a wolf pack where more than 100 wolves were munching on a huge rank 9 mutated beast corpse. A rank 9 amberwolf king led the pack with 10 rank 8 amberwolves, and the strength of the remaining beasts was rank 7. ¡®It looks like I am quite lucky.¡¯ If it were any other rank 9 hero, he would quietly escape from that ce because a pack led by a rank 9 mutated beast king was dangerous even for the supreme heroes. ¡®Teleport¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®st¡¯ However, Leo¡¯s [Mighty Combustion] holds a great advantage against the hordes or pack. Thus, he was not worried and attacked the pack with his full power. ¡®Boom¡¯ Before the rank 7 amberwolves could realize what was happening, they were instantly reduced to ashes uponing into contact with the heat wave. The rank 8 amberwolves were severely injured, and some of their body parts were missing from the earlier st. As for the rank 9 amberwolf king, other than ashes on its red fur, there was no scratch on it. ¡®Rrr¡¯ It was shocked by the sudden st, and seeing that 90 percent of its pack had burned into ashes, it became furious and growled at Leo. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Not only the rank 9 amberwolf king, but even Leo was also shocked at the full might of his [Mighty Combustion]. His original n was to kill all the amberwolves and not turn them into ashes; however, he had greatly underestimated his mutated talent. ¡®Even though its damage has greatly increased towards rank 8 and below mutated beast, it didn¡¯t have much effect on the rank 9 beasts.¡¯ Since the amberwolves have an affinity with the fire element, they have good fire resistance; however, the fire resistance of the rank 7 and rank 8 amberwolves was useless against Leo¡¯s [Mighty Combustion]. However, it was useless against the rank 9 amberwolf king because his [Mighty Combustion] was still a level 8 talent. ¡®Ding, The host killed 120 rank 7 amberwolves. ¡®Ding, The host gained 100 x 120 [Promote points]. ¡®Nevermind. Even if I can¡¯t devour those bodies, I am satsifed with the [Promote points].¡¯ Looking at 12000 [Promote points], which he got with a single attack, Leo stopped worrying about not devouring the amberwolves¡¯ bodies. ¡®Grr¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Seeing Leo smiling after killing everyone from its pack, the amberwolf king became even angrier. ¡°Human, how dare you kill my servants.¡± In the next second, it lunged at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo casually dodged it by moving his body sideways and said, ¡°Generally, I don¡¯t take pleasure in killing mutated beasts; however, I can only be stronger by killing and swallowing others.¡± **** 3 Bonus Chapters will being soon.

Chapter 98 [Bonus chapter] First skill: [Fire Claw] ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ [Absolute pration] As soon as he finished his words, Leo summoned his rank 8 silver-coloured sword and activated the weapon¡¯s skill. Since his talents were useless against a rank 9 mutated beast like Amberwolf king, Leo decided to use the technique to kill it. ¡®sh¡¯ The rank 9 amberwolf king only saw a silver light before it felt its entire surroundings start spinning. In actuality, it was not the surroundings spinning; instead, it was the wolf¡¯s head that separated from its body and turned in the air before falling to the ground. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 9 amberwolf king. ¡®Ding, The host gained 500 [Promote Points]. ¡®It looks like I will get more [Promote points] for killing king-type monsters or mutated beasts.¡¯ Looking at the system notifications, Leo silently thought in his head. [Absolute Devour] Soon, he ced his hand on the rank 9 beast corpse and used [Absolute Devour] for the first time. ¡®Grr¡¯ In the next second, a round mouth filled with teeth appeared on his palm and started devouring the corpse. In less than a minute, the entire corpse was devoured by the mouth on Leo¡¯s palm, not leaving a single remnant of the beast.-. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 9 amberwolf king. ¡®Ding, The ¡®one percent effect of the talent has been triggered, and the host awakened a skill [Fire w]. ¡®What?¡¯ Even though Leo aimed to awaken a skill or two with his [Absolute Devour], he didn¡¯t expect to awaken it in the first attempt. It had only a one percent chance. So, he was shocked to awaken a skill just like that. ¡®Check¡¯ Nevertheless, he controlled his excitement and checked the information on the skill. ¡®Ding, Skill name: Fire w (Level 1). Element: Fire. Effect: The user can condense an elemental w on his hand that can not only sh through the enemy, but it will also leave ¡®Burn Damage¡¯. ¡®Fire w¡¯ After checking the information, Leo used the skill, and soon, a light red-coloured transparent ws appeared around his fist. ¡®Even though it seems weak right now, it looks cool. I should upgrade it. Moreover, since I awakened the skill from [Absolute Devour], I can increase its level by continuous devouring.¡¯ Leo knew the skill would be very powerful when it reached level 8 or 9. Also, he didn¡¯t forget that he could increase the levels of the talents or skills awakened from [Absolute Devour] with the continuous usage of that talent. ¡®Let¡¯s see how much these rank 8 amberwolves can increase the level of my skills.¡¯ Leo silently thought about the 10 amberwolves lying on the ground and walked towards them. Since he had turned the nearly 90 rank 7 amberwolves into ashes, Leo could only devour the 10 rank 8 amberwolves. ¡®Grr¡¯ With a low growl, the mouth on Leo¡¯s palm started devouring the rank 8 amberwovles one after another. ¡®Blurp¡¯ After eating the ten amberwolves, the mouth licked Leo¡¯s palm and disappeared. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured ten rank 8 amberwolves; however, it triggered no effect, and no skill has awakened. Leo was not surprised at the fact that he didn¡¯t awaken any skills even after devouring 10 rank 8 beasts. Instead, he was a little surprised by the subsequent system notification. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Fire w] has been upgraded to level 4. It can now leave the damage on even rank 5 and rank 6 beings. ¡®Level 4 already? Isn¡¯t this speed a little too fast?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo felt the talent [Absolute Devour] seemed more powerfulpared to his [Talent swallowing ability]. Even though he could swallow a new talent every six months, he could not upgrade the talents he awakened with that ability. However, with the help of a [Absolute Devour], not only did he awaken a beast skill, but he also upgraded it to level 4 in a matter of a few seconds. ¡®Ding, The reason for such a rapid increment was because of the Divine Comprehension Pill¡¯s effect. ¡®Oh. The effect of that pill can even help me like this?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect that; however, when he remembered that the skills and talents were the same, he was not surprised anymore. ¡®It¡¯s decided. I willpletely focus on the [Absolute Devour]. Not only can I gain new skills but I can also increase the level of [Fire w], and at the same time, repeated usage of [Absolute Devour] will eventually upgrade its level.¡¯ Previously, Leo used [Talent Promoter] to upgrade the [Absolute Devour]; however, he didn¡¯t forget the continuous usage of the talent would give the [Experience Points]. Moreover, he wanted to use the Divine Comprehension Pill¡¯s effect to increase the [Experience Points] gained by 10 times. ¡­. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, five hours passed, and there were only a couple of hours before the sunset. As Leo and his undead summons were grinding for the [Experience points] and the [Promote points] without resting, an old man was rushing towards the ¡®Solitary forest¡¯ at an incredible speed. ¡®He dares to enter the Solitary forest with his strength?¡¯ That old man frowned when he sensed the scent of the two supreme-grade eggs wasing from the Solitary forest. ¡®No wonder ignorance is bliss.¡¯ He scoffed at Leo. However, deep down, he was worried that other rank 9 monsters with good sensing abilities might sense the supreme grade eggs. ¡®I hope that doesn¡¯t happen; otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble for me.¡¯ The old man increased his speed and rushed into the Solitary forest. ¡­. In the outskirts of the Solitary forest, Even though Leo was powerful and had enough trump cards, he didn¡¯t dare to enter deeper into the [Uncleared Lands]. It was believed that supreme rank monsters and mutated beasts live in the depths of the [Uncleared Lands]. Whether it was true or not, no one knows; however, no one took the risk to enter the depths of the [Unclearednds]. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured 12 rank 8 monsters; however, it triggered no effect, and no skill has awakened. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Fire w] has been upgraded to level 6. ¡®Phew¡¯ Looking at the two system notifications, Leo heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he was cursed at his luck that he could not awaken any new skills despite hunting the monsters and the mutated beast for thest five hours, he was at least satisfied with the upgrade in the [Fire w]¡¯s level. ¡®In the beginning, I thought I could easily upgrade [Fire w] to level 8 or level 9 today; however, from the looks of it, it¡¯s going to take quite a while to upgrade it to level 9.¡¯ Leo bitterly smiled and decided to take a break. ¡®I should try to upgrade this skill to level 7. Only then, I can cause some damage to the advanced heroes.¡¯ While taking a small break, Leo set a small goal for today. Once a skill reaches level 7, it bes an advanced skill capable of causing damage to advanced heroes. Moreover, he had already nned to erase the Ambermane family. Hence, having an advanced skill would not be a bad thing. ¡°sh¡± Suddenly, a silhouette shed from the corner of his eye, and he felt a sense of danger. However, the silhouette was so fast that even if he used [Space maniption], he could not possibly dodge it. ¡®If I can¡¯t dodge it, I can only face it head-to-head.¡¯ Leo tightened his grip around the Arcane silver and hurriedly tried to block the attack. ¡®sh¡¯ Before Ajax could even move his hand, a sharp de shed Leo¡¯s abdomen deep enough to bleed lots of blood. ¡®Damn it.¡¯ Leo cursed and hurriedly used [Mightybustion] to lightly cauterize the injury to stop the bleeding. ¡°Huh? You have experience of surviving in the wild. No wonder you dare to enter the [Unclearednd].¡± The old man licked the blood on his dagger and praised Leo. ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s not waste our time and discuss business.¡± The old man walked toward Leo with an evil smile and asked, ¡°Give me the two supreme grade eggs, and I will give you an easy death.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not going to happ¡­.¡± However, before he could finish his words, Leo fell to the ground with a shocked look in his eyes. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 150 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 250 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 99 [Bonus Chapter] Dark Spectre Leo had already seen the information about the old man and knew who he was. He was none other than the monster in disguise who was after the supreme grade eggs in Leo¡¯s possession. ¡®Thud¡¯ Even though Leo was waiting for this rank 9 monster, he didn¡¯t expect the monster to have such an insane speed. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s blood hase into contact with the Dark spectre¡¯s breath. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s body will be paralyzed for the next five minutes. Leo was confused at why he couldn¡¯t move his body; however, with the system notifications, he understood what caused his body to freeze. ¡°Don¡¯t bother to move your body as it will be just a waste of time. It will be better if you give me the eggs.¡± The old man walked closer to Leo and once again asked for the supreme grade eggs. Even though the old man could sense the supreme grade eggs, he was sure that Leo didn¡¯t hide them in the storage ring. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t kill Leo in a single go and only paralyzed him.-. ¡°Haha¡­do you think I will give it to you? Since my death is confirmed, then I might as well not give you those eggs.¡± Nevertheless, Leo was not worried much andughed. ¡°Keke¡­You are crazy, brat.¡± The old man chuckled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s see whether you can say that after I torture you a bit.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°How dare a mere spectre dares to torture my master?¡± Before the old man could touch Leo, a silhouette came out of Leo¡¯s shadow and shed at the old man with its sharp nails. ¡°What? A shadow vampire?¡± As a rank 9 monster, the old man could instantly recognize the silhouette that came out of Leo¡¯s shadow. It was none other than dimir, the shadow vampire. With the appearance of Bulter Davis, dimir didn¡¯t have to take care of the unicorn pony anymore. Moreover, he had lots of blood from Davis, making him rest in Leo¡¯s shadow, where he would get good sleep. As for the old man, he was shocked at the sudden appearance of dimir and unconsciously stepped back because, like dimir said, in front of a shadow vampire, a dark spectre was nothing. ¡°Shall we y ¡®Torture¡¯ now?¡± With an evil smile, dimir rushed toward the old man. ¡°N-no.¡± Even though the old man was a rank 9 monster, he could be considered the weakest rank 9 monster. Because they didn¡¯t have much battle prowess or strength as their skills mostly helped them in disguise, sneak attacks, and extreme speed to escape in case they sensed the danger. However, the shadow vampire could be considered the strongest race among the monsters. Even though dimir was only at rank 8, he could kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts with his skills. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Therefore, when the old man heard dimir¡¯s words, he hurriedly transformed into his true monster form and tried to escape. In his true form, he looked like a ck ghost floating in mid-air. ¡°dimir, shadow imprison.¡± Seeing that the dark spectre was trying to escape, Leo hurriedly ordered the shadow vampire to imprison the dark spectre. ¡®Ding, Monster name: Dark spectre. Strength: Rank 9 Monster traits: Cunning, coward, Agile, sneaky, and a master of disguise More information: When dealing with a dark spectre, kill it in a single attack; otherwise, you can¡¯t kill it as it will escape. When he checked the information on his attacker, Leo realized why the system would give him such a high-grade item as a reward for killing this monster. Even though this monster didn¡¯t have great battle prowess, it was cunning and agile. Moreover, he had nearly lost his life earlier if he didn¡¯t hide the supreme grade eggs in the secret dimension. So, he hurriedly ordered dimir to imprison the monster. ¡°I already did that beforeing out of your shadow, Master.¡± With a slight smile on his handsome face, dimir replied to Leo before looking at the trapped Dark spectre with his blood-red eyes. ¡°Should I kill it, Mater?¡± In the next second, dimir asked for Leo¡¯s permission. ¡°No. Don¡¯t kill it. Ihave to kill it with my own hands.¡± Leo hurriedly stopped the shadow vampire from killing the imprisoned dark spectre. It was not for revenge for getting a cut on his abdomen; instead, Leo wanted to devour the dark spectre using [Absolute Devour]. Only when Leo killed his target with his own hands could he use his [Absolute Devour], and since the Dark spectre had so many useful skills, Leo wanted to try it. ¡®If only I had another fragment of God stone, I would have reduced the cooldown of my [Talent swallowing ability] by another three months.¡¯ Leo still needs to wait for another three months to use his [Talent swallowing ability]; however, he didn¡¯t have the luxury to keep the Dark spectre around him for that long just for its skills. ¡°As you wish, Master.¡± dimir nodded, walked closer to the dark spectre, and started toying with it. ¡®Why is it not saying anything? Wasn¡¯t he so excited about torturing me a few moments back?¡¯ While lying on the ground, Leo sensed something was not right as he looked at the dark spectre and tried to find why he suddenly became quiet. ¡®Wait a second. That should not happen.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo realized what was wrong and hurriedly ordered the shadow vampire, ¡°dimir, kill it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing his master¡¯s sudden order, the shadow vampire frowned as he didn¡¯t understand what made Leo worried all of a sudden. ¡°Haha¡­you are toote, human.¡± Finally, the dark spectre startedughing, making the shadow vampire even more confused. ¡®Is there something I am unable to understand?¡¯ dimir frowned; however, he wanted to kill the dark spectre before asking his master about it. ¡®Ding, The paralysis effects on the host¡¯s body had disappeared. Leo received the system notification as dimir was about to kill the dark spectre. ¡®Teleport¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo appeared in front of the dark spectre with a frustrated look and shed his Arcane silver through it. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 150 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 250 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 100 [Bonus Chapter] City Creation Token ¡°My master will hunt you down no matter where you hide¡­Haha.¡± The dark spectre already knew it had met its end the moment it saw a shadow vampire. However, it didn¡¯t show any fear or resist Leo¡¯s attack; instead, it left a few words with a peal of loudughter. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡°I am waiting.¡± Leo pulled his sword and scoffed at the dark spectre that fell on the ground. ¡®Ding, The host killed the rank 9 Dark spectre and gained 300 [Promote points]. It only took a single attack for Leo to kill the rank 9 Dark spectre; however, he was not happy about it. Because he remembered the mission failure. [Mission failure: The host will be hunted by the entire world] Of course, Leo could guess why the entire world would hunt him down. It was obviously because of the supreme-grade eggs in his possession. Since the dark spectreughed before dying, Leo assumed that it had leaked the information about the supreme grade eggs to others.-. ¡®Who doesn¡¯t want the supreme grade eggs in this word?¡¯ Leo bitterly smiled for a moment; however, suddenly, his expression became serious, ¡®Let it be. Those who want to take my items should be prepared for the worst.¡¯ Even though Leo might not have enough strength to kill the supreme heroes, he had enough battle experience to injure them before escaping. ¡®I made the right decision by not revealing my identity; otherwise, they will use Ryan and others as hostages.¡¯ Leo knew that no matter how careful he was, a situation where he had to fight all the powerhouses of the human race would arise. That¡¯s why he was being careful with his identity all this time. ¡®Sigh¡­it¡¯s a pity I have failed my first system mission. It looks like I am not fated with the city creation token.¡¯ Leo was not worried that the entire world might hunt him because it was not his first being hunted. Unlike before, this time, the number of humans, monsters, and mutated beasts would be high. However, Leo was a little sad that he could not get the ¡®City Creation Token¡¯. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the first system mission. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ As he was shaking his head in disappointment, Leo received the system notification that gave him a big surprise. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with a ¡®City creation token¡¯. Amidst his shock, a silver-coloured token appeared in Leo¡¯s hands. ¡®Is this the legendary item that could create a city out of thin air?¡¯ Even though the records of the otherworldly beings have been lost in the river of time, everyone knew about the ¡®City creation token¡¯. So, when Leo saw the silver-coloured token in his hand, he could not help but reveal an excited smile. ¡®Ding, Item name: City creation token (Silver). Grade: Supreme Use: A silver-grade city with a one-kilometer radius can be summoned, and the one who summons it bes the city leader of the city. Note: 1) Inside the city, a supreme grade formation, a few basic buildings, a Hall of gods, and a hundred residential buildings will be present by default. 2) The city leader can increase the radius of the city by constructing more basic buildings and upgrading the city¡¯s grade. ¡®A silver grade city?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and curiously asked the system. He only knew about the city creation tokens; however, he didn¡¯t have any idea about the city grades. ¡®Ding, The host is yet to be a Supreme grade hero. Only a supreme grade or above grade heroes can use the city creation token to summon a city. ¡®Ding, The information about the cities and their grades will be exined once the host bes the city leader. However, the system asked him to be the supreme hero to use the city creation token, making Leo frown. ¡®Everythinges to me bing a supreme hero.¡¯ Leo shook his head, kept the city creation token away, and thought, ¡®I can be a supreme hero in a month or two. So, there is no need to be disappointed about it.¡¯ Even though Leo was only 25 years old, he had faced many disappointments in his life, and he knew how to motivate himself from those disappointments. ¡°Now, let¡¯s think who might be its master?¡± Coming out of his thoughts regarding the city creation token, Leo looked at the corpse of the dark spectre on the ground before searching it. There were no items on the dark spectre except for the monster core. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo noticed something on the dark spectre¡¯s body. It¡¯s a seal. To be more specific, it was a ve seal. ¡®There is a full moon in the center of the seal. So, it must be created by a human or it might be the same b*stard that left the seal on me.¡¯ Leo instantly recognized the ve seal, which looked simr to his own. ¡®Is this dark spectre that b*stard¡¯s ve or did he sell it to someone else after engraving the seal?¡¯ For some reason, Leo felt it was thetter. ¡®For now, I will just focus on increasing my strength and taking my revenge. As for that b*stard, if he wants to die sooner, he cane at me.¡¯ Leo nodded and decided not to think much about the dark spectre¡¯s master. The reason is that he already has many things to do, and he felt it was just a waste of his energy on someone who might or might note to take revenge for one of his ves. [Absolute devour] Since the ve seal looked high-level, Leo didn¡¯t bother to swallow the seal; instead, he ced his hand on the dark spectre and devoured it entirely. It only took a few seconds for the devil¡¯s mouth on Leo¡¯s palm to devour the entire corpse. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 9 dark spectre. ¡®Ding, The ¡®one percent effect of the talent has been triggered, and the host awakened a new skill [Spectre]. In the next second, a few system notifications appeared in his head, which surprised Leo pleasantly. ¡®Finally, a new skill has appeared.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 150 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 250 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 101 Second Skill: [Spectre] ¡®Finally, a new skill has appeared.¡¯ Leo has been using the talent [Absolute Devour] for thest five hours and has devoured hundreds of monsters and the mutated beasts. However, he could not awaken a second skill because triggering that one percent of effect was much harder than he thought. ¡®Let¡¯s see the effect of the skill.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo checked the information on his new skill. ¡®Ding, Skill name: Spectre (level 1). Effect: With a single thought, the user¡¯s body bes transparent, which helps him pass through any physical objects, and all the physical attacks from his enemies will also pass through his body. Note: 1) Since it is only a basic skill, physical attacks from elite and advanced ss beings still cause damage. 2) When the user is in the transparent form, he can¡¯t use other skills or talents. ¡®Oh. Nice skill.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the skill as he knew how to use it fully. ¡®As long as I upgrade this skill level, it¡¯s full potential will be unlocked.¡¯ Leo stretched his body a little and decided to continue farming until he became tired. As a rank 9 hero, Leo¡¯s stamina was multiple times higher than a regr human. So, even after hunting for thest five hours, he was not tired. Moreover, he wanted to increase the levels of his talents and skills by tomorrow before he erased the Ambermane family.-. ¡®Time to farm.¡¯ Since the Divine Comprehension Pill¡¯s effect was still active, Leo started farming for the [Experience points] and the [Promote points]. [Space Manipuation] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Mighty Combustion] ¡®Boom¡¯ [Absolute Devour] ¡®Crunch¡¯ First, he found arge group of monsters or mutated beasts and teleported himself to the center of the horde before usingbustion. Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to use only 50 percent of the [Might Combustion]¡¯s fire energy. Because his main goal was to devour the corpses of the monsters and the mutated beasts he killed to get their skills and increase the levels of his two skills [Fire w] and [Spectre]. ¡®Ding, The host has consumed a rank 8 monster. Please select a skill that the host wants to upgrade. Unlike before, the experience points from devouring the monster corpses didn¡¯t go directly to [Fire w]; instead, the system asked Leo to select a skill he wanted to upgrade. ¡®Hm¡­for now, I want to upgrade the fire w to level 7. After that, use the experience points to upgrade [Spectre].¡¯ Even though [Spectre] was a good skill, Leo thought it would be good to have a level 7 skill first before focusing on the second skill. ¡®Ding, The system adjusted the skill [Fire w] as the default skill to receive all the experience points until it reached level 7. ¡®Ding, The host can change it to [Spectre] whenever he wants. ¡®Let¡¯s continue.¡¯ Nodding his head at the system notifications, Leo focused on devouring the monster corpses using [Absolute Devour]. ¡­.. In an unknown city, ¡®Roar¡¯ A roar resounded in a huge colosseum, and a 50-meter brown-coloured bear was forcefully pressed to the ground by five rank 9 masked heroes. ¡°Idiots, why can¡¯t you hold it down properly?¡± A middle-aged man in his thirties was standing beside the huge bear with a red-coloured quill in his hands. Obviously, he was trying to engrave something on the huge bear. ¡°Master, this bear seems to awaken a new skill. Its strength boosted suddenly. Moreover, it is a supreme grade mutated beast.¡± ¡°Yes, master. Why don¡¯t we call others too?¡± ¡°It will be easier for master to engrave the soul suppressing ve seal on this supreme grade mutated beast.¡± One after another, rank 9 humans respectfully informed the middle-aged man. ¡°It¡¯s not a skill; instead, it¡¯s a bloodline¡­Hehe.¡± The middle-aged manughed a little before replying, ¡°Since you can¡¯t even hold down an injured surprem grade beast, I don¡¯t have any more used for you.¡± ¡°Eat them and assist me.¡± ¡®Hiss¡¯ As soon as he said those words, a 100-meter water python came out of the ground and swallowed the five rank 9 heroes in a single go before wrapping around the huge bear. The five rank 9 humans didn¡¯t even have a chance as they became the food to the water python. ¡°I think I should just engrave the humans with a soul suppressing ve seal. With a normal ve seal, they speak too much.¡± The middle-aged man silently thought in his head, looking at the soulless eyes of the water python. ¡°Little snake, you are the best ve among all my ves. Once I engrave the soul suppressing ve seal on this bear, you might have apetitor.¡± Once the water python wrapped around the huge bear, it could not move anymore, making the middle-aged man engrave soul suppressing ve seal on the bear. Soon, the angry bear became docile; however, if someone looked carefully at the bear¡¯s eyes, they looked soulless. ¡°Engraving a soul suppressing ve seal on a supreme grade mutated beast consumes so much of my energy.¡± Once he finished engraving the ve seal, the middle-aged man stretched his body a little. ¡°Master¡­master.¡± Soon, a rank 9 hero rushed into the colosseum and informed, ¡°The ve seal belonging the rank 9 Dark Spectre has burnt into ashes.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The middle-aged man frowned and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he sent to Phirie city on a mission?¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± Even the middle-aged man¡¯s servant was a rank 9 hero, who respectfully replied to him. ¡°He is a coward who doesn¡¯t fight evne rank 8 beings and the moment he senses the danger, he will escape from that ce. How did he die?¡± As the dark spectre¡¯s master, the middle-aged man knew the traits of the dark spectre, and only because of those traits he sent it to Phirie city. ¡°Should I ask the city leader Theodore to look in it?¡± After hesitating a little, the servant suggested the middle-aged man. ¡°He must be busy with that otherworldly portal he found in the ¡®Soliatary forest¡¯. Let¡¯s not bother him.¡± The middle-aged man shook his head and replied, ¡°Did Gori finish his breakthrough to Supreme rank?¡± ¡°Yes, master. He sessfully became a supreme hero in the morning.¡± The servant nodded. ¡°Good. Inform him that I want him to resume Spectre¡¯s mission in Phirie city and at the same time, ask him to find out who killed him and the reason for killing him.¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± As soon as he received the middle-aged man¡¯s orders, the servant hurriedly left the colosseum. ¡®In Phirie city, Theodore and White are the only ones who are capable of killing Dark spectre. Are there are surpreme heroes in Phirie city?¡¯ After the servant left, the middle-aged man frowned and thought about Phirie city for some time. ¡®As long as he doesn¡¯te in my way, he will continue living in this world; otherwise, there is no need for him to wait until the world¡¯s assessment as I will kill him before that.¡¯ The middle-aged man revealed an evil smile and walked into a secret chamber in the colosseum. ¡®Anyway, it is time to search for another supreme grade monster or mutated beast.¡¯ Inside that chamber room is a huge otherworldly portal, and the middle-aged man entered it without hesitation. ***** 100 chapterspleted.

Let¡¯s go at this speed and reach 200 chapters soon. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 150 Power Stones:- One Bonus Chapter. 250 Power Stones:- Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 102 Extermination of the Ambermane Family (1) In the outskirts of the solitary forest, ¡®Huf¡­huf¡¯ Leo gasped for breath as he devoured thest monster corpse on the ground. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured ten rank 9 and 100 rank 8 monsters; however, it triggered no effect, and no skill has awakened. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Spectre] has upgraded to level 7. Leo rested on the ground and looked at the rising sun. It took more than 12 hours for Leo topletely exhausted his energy. During these 12 hours, he had killed nearly a thousand monsters and mutated beastsbined. Almost 95 percent were rank 7 and 8, and the remaining 5 percent were rank 9. As for the monsters and mutated beasts below the rank 7, Leo and his undead summons didn¡¯t bother at all because the [Experience points] and the [Promote points] from them were pitifully less. ¡®Finally, I have two level 7 skills.¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t awaken a new skill, Leo was satisfied with the levels of the two skills he had awakened. ¡®Another good thing was [Absolute Devour] has upgraded to level 5 because of my continuous devour.¡¯-. Leo used that talent for more than 17 hours without taking any break. So, it was not surprising for the talent to upgrade by a level. ¡®As for the [Promote points], I have umted nearly five hundred thousand.¡¯ He didn¡¯t bother to spend the [Promote points] amidst his hunt; instead, he umted them and decided to use themter. ¡®It¡¯s time to upgrade [Haunting of ecstasy].¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo used [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The host used 10000 [Promote points] and upgraded [Haunting of ecstasy] to level 4. ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t upgrade an elite-ss talent anymore. Please select a basic talent to upgrade. With level 2 [Talent Promter], Leo could only upgrade basic ss talents. Therefore, the system reminded him to select a basic talent. ¡®But, I don¡¯t have any other basic talents.¡¯ Even though Leo still has 490000 [Promote points], he could not use them anymore because he doesn¡¯t have any more basic talents. ¡®I still need to wait for three more months to swallow a new talent; however, it is not a bad thing to have more [Promote points].¡¯ Leo knew that the [Promote points] would not be wasted because, in the future, he would be swallowing more and more talents. Also, when the [Talent Promoter] upgrades in the future, he could upgrade elite talents, and even upgrading the advanced talents was not impossible. ¡°Everyone, you can continue to kill the rank 8 and 9 monsters and mutated beasts; however, there is no need to hunt them into the depths of the solitary forest.¡± Soon, Leo had called all his undead summons and ordered them to continue hunting in the solitary forest to increase the potential of his talent [Call of the Undead] along with the [Promote points]. Of course, he didn¡¯t give so many orders for his undead summons and only the basic orders; otherwise, they won¡¯t understand and mess up his orders. ¡®We are still not strong enough to enter the depths of the solitary forest.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself while looking at the dense forest in the distance. ¡®As for the otherworldly portal found by the city leader, I will check it after I wrap the small things in the city.¡¯ The small things were erasing the Ambermane family, Auctioning off a few things. With that thought in mind, Leo silently returned to the city after resting for half a day in the wilderness. ¡­ Time continued to pass, and in a sh, night descended. In the Ambermane family¡¯s guest room, ¡°Ambermane family has three rank 9 heroes namely, Liam, Seth and Mad.¡± Dominic exined the information he had collected about the Ambermane family to Leo. ¡°Currently, Seth has left on a mission to Starlight city, leaving only two rank 9 heroes. Other than them, there are 10 elders and 50 deputy elders, who were all rank 8 heroes.¡± ¡°As for the rank 7, there are around 200 of them. Every day, the elders, the deputy elders, and the rank 7 heroes gather in the meeting hall. The meeting will start in another 30 minutes. ¡°So, how do you want us to eliminate them?¡± Since Dominic, Mikhael and Reba are rank 7 heroes, and their duty was to care for the rank 7 and below ranked heroes. ¡°There should be no trace of what happened to the Ambermane family.¡± Leo was calm as he replied, ¡°There is no need to show any mercy. I don¡¯t want anyone from the Ambermane family to live for another day.¡± ¡°Yes, boss.¡± Dominic understood what Leo meant by those words. So, he nodded his head without any hesitation. ¡°Start your assassination after I give the signal.¡± Leo entered the secret dimension and started his hunt as soon as he finished his words. ¡­.. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Using the secret dimension, Leo moved to the meeting hall of the Ambermane family, where rank 7 heroes were entering the meeting hall one by one. Time continued to pass, and after 20 minutes, the meeting hall was full of all the rank 7 and 8 heroes of the Ambermane family. ¡°Everyone, pay attention to what I am going to say today.¡± An old man sitting in the leader¡¯s chair looked at the rank 7 and rank 8 heroes in front of him and asked them to pay attention. ¡°The city leader has informed our family head that the otherworldly portal in the Solitary forest leads to a world that is filled with valuable resources; however, along with those resources, there are countless dangers in that world.¡± Seeing that everyone was listening to him, the first elders of the Ambermane family continued saying, ¡°So, the city leader was nning to create a team that was filled with all the rank 7,8 and 9 heroes and he would be personally leading them. There is no exception. As long as their hero rank is rank 7 or above, they must¡­.¡± ¡®Huh? He was nning to lead them into the otherworldly portal?¡¯ Leo, who was listening to those words, was surprised. ¡°Since all the strong heroes of Phirie city will be leaving the city, the city leader will be activating the supreme grade formation to stop the monsters and the mutated beasts from attacking from the outside.¡± ¡°However, our family head has already made a deal with the city leader that he would allow 10 rank 7 heroes from our family to stay back in the city.¡± By the time the first elder finished his words, he had an evil smile. ¡®Huh? What are they nning to do by staying back in the city?¡¯ Leo frowned and realized something, ¡®Don¡¯t tell me they are nning to¡­.¡¯ ¡°First leader, are we finally going to erase the other two families from Phirie city?¡± One of the deputy elders asked the first elders with an evil smile. ¡°Yes. The ten rank 7 heroes we are leaving behind had to burn those two families to ashes at any cost.¡± The first elder nodded and said, ¡°Now, who wants to stay back?¡± ¡°Me¡± ¡°Me..me¡± As soon as the first elder finished his words, all the rank 7 heroes raised their hands with excited looks. ¡®What am I expecting from these b*stards? Let¡¯s erase these b*stards from the face of this world.¡¯ Seeing their excited reactions, Leo shook his head and decided not to waste his time anymore. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 50 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = 2 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 103 Extermination of the Ambermane Family (2) For the members of the Ambermane family, killing the members of other families gives a lot of contribution points. If there were no rank 7, 8, and 9 heroes in the other two families, they could easily eliminate those families, which gives a lot of contribution points. Therefore, no one wanted to miss this opportunity and hurriedly raised their hands. ¡°Too bad, you are not going to live until then.¡± Leo walked out of his secret space and scoffed at the rank 7 heroes who were excited to erase the other two families. ¡°Who are you? How dare you sneak into the meeting hall of my Ambermane family and say such words.¡± One of the rank 7 heroes didn¡¯t like Leo¡¯s words and rushed at him using his talent [Fire swords]. Soon, his hands turned into sharp swords that emitted the raging mes. ¡°Rest in peace.¡± With a snap from Leo, a hole appeared below the man¡¯s feet. The hole closed as soon as he fell into it, and Leo¡¯s words resounded. ¡°B*stard. Bring him out of the ground.¡± Seeing that scene, a group of men rushed toward Leo while condensing the fireballs in their hands. ¡®Arcane silver¡¯ A silver light shed, and a silver sword appeared in Leo¡¯s hands. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ Before they could notice what was happening, the group nning to release the fireballs fell to the ground with their heads missing. ¡°Who are you?¡± The first elders felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw how easily Leo killed more than 12 rank 7 heroes of the Ambermane family.-. Nevertheless, as the first elder of the Ambermane family, he suppressed that feeling and asked Leo in a serious tone. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo disappeared from his ce, appeared behind the first elder, and muttered, ¡°Your Ancestor.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ The silver sword pierced through the first elder¡¯s heart. ¡°First elder.¡± Everyone was shocked that their first elder was killed just like that and became furious. ¡°Everyone, use your talents. Let¡¯s kill this b*stard that dared to enter our family grounds and kill us.¡± The third elder was happy that the first elder was killed. Hence, he decided to use this opportunity to rece his ce. ¡°Yes, third elder.¡± Everyone nodded their heads and activated their talents. [Furious mes] [methrower] [Firebeast] . . All the family members of the Ambermane family only awakened the talents rted to fire from the time the family was established. Because of the destructive power of the fire talents, the Ambermane family became one of the top three families in Phirie city. ¡®It looks like I am going to get another fire-rted talent.¡¯ Looking at nearly 200 men using fire-rted talents, Leo knew he would be getting at least one talent if he devoured everyone after killing them. ¡®Master, I want to join the action.¡¯ From Leo¡¯s shadow, dimir asked Leo to let him join the fun; however, Leo directly rejected his request. It was not that he didn¡¯t want to summon dimir out of his shadow; instead, he wanted to use his talent [Absolute Devour] to awaken one or two talents. If dimir kills them, he could not use his talent [Absolute Devour] to awaken the talents. ¡°Everyone,e at me once.¡± With a slight smile, Leo asked them toe at him. ¡°You are going to die today.¡± Everyone from the Ambermane family was sure that there was no way out for Leo to escape from the meeting hall. Moreover, he was currently surrounded by the top-level force of the Ambermane family. ¡°Is that so?¡± Leo asked a question, looked, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡± [Mighty Combustion] ¡®Boom¡¯ Soon, a huge explosion urred in the meeting hall, and the entire hall burned into nothing. However, no one died from the explosion because Leo had controlled his talent to only level 7. The rank 7 heroes were missing at least one or two limbs, whereas the rank 7 elders were covered in bodies full of injuries. ¡°Family head, we need your help.¡± After experiencing the explosion, everyone looked at Leo as though he was some kind of monster and hurriedly shouted for help. Currently, they were injured and could not escape from Leo. Therefore, the only option left for everyone was to call their family head for help. ¡°B*stard, you are finished.¡± ¡°Once the family heades here, you are going to die.¡± Since the family head of the Ambermane family was a peak rank 9 hero, they thought Leo couldn¡¯t escape anymore. ¡°Haha¡­shout even louder and see whether your family head wille here or not.¡± However, hearing their words, Leo could not help butugh aloud. ¡°Huh?¡± Everyone frowned and looked at the surroundings. That¡¯s right! Why is no one rushing here when such a huge explosion happened in the meeting hall? They felt something was not right. ¡°So, shall I send you on your way now?¡± It was Leo¡¯s turn to have an evil smile as he asked them. ¡°N-no.¡± ¡°Please sir, can you let me off. I am begging you. Please don¡¯t kill me.¡± ¡°Sir, I will be your ve. Please don¡¯t kill me.¡± ¡°Master, I can offer you my body. Can you please let me off?¡± The men said they were willing to be Leo¡¯s ves, whereas the women tried to use their bodies. However, the evil smile on Leo¡¯s face didn¡¯t change, which made everyone furious. ¡°If I am going to die, then I will bring you with me.¡± The elders of the Ambermane family were rank 8 heroes. So, they still have some energy left in them. Since Leo looked like he was going to kill them, they decided to burn their life energy and use their talents to kill Leo. [Space Maniption] However, too bad for them, Leo disappeared from his ce and took his time to kill the 10 elders and 50 deputy elders of the Ambermane family. ¡°Monster.¡± ¡°He is definitely a monster.¡± ¡°Everyone, escape.¡± Seeing their elders were getting killed by Leo like cabbages, the rank 7 heroes of the Ambermane family became anxious and hurriedly crawled away from Leo. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Is there a wall?¡± ¡°Damn it¡­does he have the talent to create the formations also?¡± Those who crawled to escape from Leo were stopped by an invisible wall that stopped them from crawling any further. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°For now, I don¡¯t have such talent; however, in the future, I will definitely have it.¡± Out of thin air, Leo appeared beside the group of crawlers and replied to him with an evil smile. ¡°Monster.¡± ¡°Monster¡­go away.¡± The crawlers were terrified to see Leo and tried to crawl as far as possible. ¡°No matter how much you crawl, you are not going to live past today.¡± Soon, Leo sliced their throats, and he received the [Promote points] for killing them. ¡°Dominic, you can massacre everyone below rank 7 now.¡± Even though it seemed like there was no one nearby, Dominic was standing a few meters away from Leo. ¡°Yes, Boss.¡± Suddenly, Dominic¡¯s head appeared as though it came out of the water and nodded at Leo¡¯s order. ¡°Take dimir with you. After you finish it, let¡¯s meet in the family head¡¯s residence.¡± As soon as Leo finished his words, dimir rushed out of Leo¡¯s shadow and followed Dominic. ¡®Now, it is time to devour them.¡¯ Looking at more than 250 corpses on the ground, Leo summoned the devil¡¯s mouth on his palm. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 50 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = 2 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 104 Awakening New Talents Before Leo entered the meeting hall, Dominic had already sealed the entire meeting hall using a talisman. Because of that, even though there was a huge explosion, the family head could not hear it. ¡®Gulp¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ While Dominic and others were taking care of the remaining members of the Ambermane family, Leo started devouring the corpses lying on the ground one after another. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured ten rank 7 humans; however, it triggered no effect, and no skill has awakened. ¡®As I expected, the lower the strength of the being I devoured, the lower the chance of awakening the talent or skill that being has.¡¯ Whenever he used [Absolute Devour] to devour a monster or a mutated beast or a human, Leo observed with focus to learn more about the talent. From his observation, Leo understood an important thing, i.e., the percentage shown on the talent¡¯s information was applicable only when he devoured rank 9 beings. If he devourer the rank 7 or 8, that percentage would decrease even more. ¡®So, there is no need for me to kill the rank 6 and below ranked heroes in the Ambermane family.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head and focused on devouring the corpses. The system notifications continued to ring in his head, and all of them said only one thing: he didn¡¯t awaken any talent. ¡®I hope I can awaken at least one talent.¡¯ As long as he awakens at least one talent from devouring everyone, Leo would be satisfied.-. As Leo focused on devouring the corpses on the ground, Dominic and others were silently assassinating the Ambermane family members below rank 7. Everyone had a cold look on their faces as they killed everyone that saw. Be it a child or a woman; no one was spared. ¡®When you eliminate an enemy, put aside your emotions and kill everyone, unless you want to be hunted down by the single child you spared because of pity.¡¯ It was what Leo believed because he was also a loose end left by the Ambermane family in the past. ¡®Nevertheless, no one showed me any pity; instead, I was sold to some merchant group and became a ve.¡¯ Leo waspletely calm as he didn¡¯t show any empathy for the Ambermane family members and continued, ¡®If not for my endurance, I would have long died.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 8 hero; however, it triggered no effect, and no talent has awakened. . . . ¡®Ding, The host used the [Absolute Devour] to consume a peak rank 8 hero and awakened a new talent [Sunfire Bolt]. ¡®Ding, The host used the [Absolute Devour] to consume a peak rank 8 hero and awakened a new talent [Fire Healing]. With each system notification, Leo was getting a little bit disappointed; however, when he saw thest two system notifications, Leo froze in his steps. ¡®I got two new talents just like that?¡¯ Nevertheless, he became excited to devour the remaining corpses in the next second, hoping to awaken another talent. It was not Leo¡¯s fault, and it was human nature to hope for more. However, his luck was used up when he awakened two talents back to back. Hence, he didn¡¯t awaken any new talents. ¡®I was hoping for a single talent and I awakened two talents. I should be content with it.¡¯ Once he devoured all the corpses on the ground without leaving anything behind, Leo convinced himself. ¡®Until Dominic and others finish off their mission, I will check my new talents and upgrade them.¡¯ Since he had many [Promote points] and his undead summons were still farming for more [Promote points] in the wilderness, Leo decided to use them to upgrade his new basic talents. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Sunfire Bolt (level 1). Effect: The user can summon a single fiery bolt that will never miss the target within a 10-meter radius. Potential: 0 / 100. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Fire Healing (Level 1). Effect: The user can summon a fireball that doesn¡¯t cause any damage; instead, it heals the small wounds. Potential: 0 / 100. ¡®First talent is not bad whereas the second talent¡­.it¡¯s a freaking healing talent.¡¯ Leo was excited about the second talent since healers were very valuable in this world. ¡®Even though I knew I would get a healing-type talent sooner orter, I didn¡¯t expect to awaken this soon.¡¯ ording to Leo, all the talents in this world could be used for something. So, he didn¡¯t mind even if some talents didn¡¯t have huge destructive power. For him, having a wide range of talents would be much better than having a few talents with a lot of destructive power. Because no matter how much destructive power he had, it would be useless in front of those otherworldly beings. ¡®If the youngsters from the other worlds were already that strong, then what about their parents? What about the strongest beings in their worlds?¡¯ ¡®Also, the otherworldly beings that came to help them, in front of them, were just an ant with a little bit of strength. So, it is better to have a wide range of skills which helps my survival rate against them.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste his time with those thoughts and left them for the future. As for now, he decided to focus on upgrading his two new talents. ¡®Upgrade.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host spent 13000 [Promote points] to upgrade [Sunfire Bolt] to level 4. ¡®Ding, The host spent 13000 [Promote points] to upgrade [Fire Healing] to level 4. With a thought, Leo spent 13000 [Promote points] on each talent and upgraded them to level 4. ¡®With level 4 [Sunfire Bolt], I can now summon 10 fiery bolts whereas, with level 4 [Fire Healing], I can heal medium and minor injuries.¡¯ ¡®As long as I upgrade the [Fire Healing] to level 7, I think I can heal serious injuries.¡¯ Leo was looking forward to upgrading that talent. ¡®Only if this [Talent Promter] is upgraded to level 4, I can upgrade the elite talents into advanced talents with it.¡¯ Leo wanted to see how much potential the [Talent Promoter] had left to be a level 3 talent. ¡®Ding, The host has upgraded three basic talents, namely [Hanting of Esctasy], [Sunfire Bolt], and [Fire Healing], into elite talents. ¡®Ding, The talent [Talent Promoter] has upgraded to level 3. Check the full information in the user interface. However, before he could check the potential, he received two system notifications, which surprised him. ¡®Wait a second. Since [Talent Promoter] is a special talent, it will not have the potential to check, right?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo realized something and saw that the system didn¡¯t show the potential for the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®It upgraded whenever I used this talent to upgrade the basic talents into elite talents. Does that mean I have to upgrade a few more basic talents into elite ones? When he thought like that, Leo didn¡¯t know whether he should be happy or sad about such upgrade requirements. If there was such a requirement, he needed to have at least three or more basic talents, and to awaken them; he had to kill many rank 8 or 9 human heroes? ¡®Am I thinking too much about it?¡¯ Shaking those thoughts aside, Leo checked the information on level 3 [Talent Promoter]. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ In the next second, Leo was shocked after seeing the information on that talent. **** nando11, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 50 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = 2 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 105 Heavenly Flaming Lion ¡®Ding, Talent name: Talent Promoter (level 3). Use: The user can upgrade the [Promote Points] to upgrade the basic talents. Upgrade requirements: Upgrading seven basic talents into elite talents will upgrade [Talent Promoter] to level 4. Looking at the number of new basic talents he needed to upgrade into elite talents, Leo could not help but be shocked. Leo was already feeling a little troubled when he assumed that talent requires upgrading five basic talents into elite talents to upgrade it further. However, Leo could not help but shake his head after seeing that it requires seven basic talents. ¡®It looks like I have to rely on the [Experince points] I gain by using the talents to upgrade them.¡¯ Leo knew that awakening seven new talents were not an easy thing. His [Talent Swallowing Ability] needs time, whereas the [Absolute Devour] needs to devour many high-ranked heroes. So, Leo felt he should not keep high hopes on the [Talent Promoter] for now and focus on upgrading his talents like how he used to upgrade them in the past. ¡®I wonder if someone else awakened this talent, they would have forever stuck at level 2 [Talent Promter], right?¡¯ Leo could not help but imagine if someone else awakened that talent. ¡®Ding, Probably not.-. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo frowned at the sudden system notification; however, he received another system notification exining it before he could ask the system. ¡®Ding, To upgrade the [Talent Promoter], there are other routes to upgrade the [Talent Promoter]; however, the upgrade requirements shown to the host are the easiest ones for him. ¡®Huh? There are other ways to upgrade the [Talent Promoter]?¡¯ Leo was surprised and asked, ¡®What are they?¡¯ ¡®Ding, Those are the hidden requirements, and the continuous usage of the talents will trigger them. It takes years or even decades to trigger that. ¡®What? Even decades? Let¡¯s not talk about it then.¡¯ Once he learned that it would take decades to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] by a single level if he relied on the hidden requirements, Leo stopped thinking about it. ¡®Even if I don¡¯t rely on the [Absolute Devour], I can use the [Talent Swallowing Ability] to awaken 7 new basic talents within three and half years. If I am lucky and awaken another couple of talents with the help of [Absolute Devour], it will be even sooner.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo got motivated as he stretched his body and looked at the huge building in the distance. ¡®It is time to take care of the final boss.¡¯ With an evil smile, Leo disappeared into thin air. ¡­.. Inside Liam Ambermane¡¯s manor, Two middle-aged men and two young men were sitting around the dining table as they slowly ate dinner. They were none other than Liam and his sons Zen and Zac. The second middle-aged man was Liam¡¯s younger brother, Mad. ¡°Brother, who is the target this time?¡± Mad held a braised mutated beast leg as he asked Liam about his target. ¡°A lone mercenary named Leo. He has proof regarding our family¡¯s dirty secret.¡± Liam took a sip of his red wine and continued, ¡°If that proof fell into those two families, it would be the end of our Ambermane family.¡± ¡°Oh. I understood.¡± Even though he was famously known as Mad in Phirie city, he was intelligent enough to understand the severity of this matter. ¡°I want him to die tonight. You can do it, right?¡± Liam nodded and asked in a low voice. ¡°When did I ever say no to big brother¡¯s orders?¡± Mad chuckled in response to Liam¡¯s question. ¡°Uncle Mad will easily kill that Brat Leo.¡± Even though Zac learned that Leo killed Julia in the [Treasurend], he was still angry at him for saving Julia from the Serpent Caverns. Therefore, when he learned that his uncle was going to kill Leo, he was excited and knew Leo could not escape from his uncle. ¡°Since it was Zen¡¯s fault that Leo knew about it, he will follow you and show that brat to you.¡± Liam looked at Zen and asked, ¡°You can do that, right?¡± ¡°Of course, father.¡± Zen hurriedly agreed without hesitation and silently thought, ¡®It¡¯s all because of that b*stard Leo.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°There is no need for that because no one will be leaving alive from here.¡± Leo walked out of his secret dimension and sliced off Mad¡¯s throat. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Mad had never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that he would be killed inside his brother¡¯s manor and in front of his brother. Moreover, he didn¡¯t even have a chance to use his talent before the other party killed him. ¡®Thud¡¯ Mad¡¯s corpse fell to the ground with a thud, shocking Liam and his two sons. ¡°H-how did you enter into the manor?¡± Zen was a little scared to see Leo; however, he still asked Leo. ¡°How dare you kill my young brother right in front of my eyes?¡± However, from the side, Liam was furious when he saw that Mad was dead. Without wasting time, Liam released the rank 9 pressure to suppress Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, it didn¡¯t affect Leo even a single bit as he disappeared from his ce and reappeared between Zen and Zac. ¡°You uncle Mad might feel alone in theherworld, why don¡¯t you go and apany him.¡± Leo said to them with an evil smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you put your hand on them?¡± Liam¡¯s red-coloured hair stood up, and soon he turned into a huge Heavenly ming lion. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ However, in the next second, a silver light shed as Zac and Zen¡¯s heads rolled in the air and fell in front of Liam. ¡°How dare you¡­.¡± ¡°Whatever, juste and kill me if you are angry.¡± As Liam was seething with rage, Leo interrupted his words and asked him toe at him. ¡°B*stard, you are very arrogant just because you have three rare talents. I am going to torture you and make you beg me to kill you in a few minutes.¡± ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the Heavenly ming lion finished its words, it jumped at Leo, emitting raging fires out of its body. ***** Magic Castle:- Two Bonus Chapters. 50 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = 2 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 106 Liams Shock ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a calm look, Leo disappeared from his ce to dodge the iing attack from Liam, who was transformed into a Heavenly ming lion. [Absoulte Devour] Leo didn¡¯t fight Liam; instead, he devoured Mad¡¯s corpse. ¡®Ding, No new talent awakened. The potential for the skill [Spectre] increased by a little. Since Leo had set [Spectre] as the default skill to receive the experience points, naturally, its potential increased by a little. ¡®Should I choose the newly awakened talents?¡¯ Leo thought about changing it to one of the newly awakened talents. ¡®Nevermind, I will wait for some time before upgrading my talents. After [Talent Promoter] upgraded to level 4 in the future, I might need elite talents to fulfil its upgrade requirements.¡¯ However, when he thought about [Talent Promoter], he felt it was better to focus on the skills; instead of the newly awakened talents. ¡°Brat, stay in one ce¡­.roar.¡± Generally, Liam gets angry easily, and when he was in the mutated beast form, he was seething with fury and roared at Leo. ¡°Okay.¡± If someone saw Leo now, they would never think he hade to erase the Ambermane family because he agreed with a slight smile whenever Liam was asking something. ¡°Before that, let me devour your sons.¡±-. In the next second, he disappeared and re-appeared in front of Zac and Zen before devouring them. ¡®Ding, No new talent awakened. The potential for the skill [Spectre] increased by a little. Of course, he was no longer lucky as he didn¡¯t awaken talent. ¡°You¡± Seeing Leo devour his sons¡¯ corpses, mes rose in the Heavenly ming lion¡¯s eyes and roared, ¡°I am going to tear you into pieces.¡± In the next second, the heavenly ming lion split into five lions, and all of them jumped at Leo. ¡°Since I devoured them, I can use [Mighty Combustion] without any fear.¡± Leo didn¡¯t use his most destructive talent because he feared the corpses of Mad and the other two would be turned into ashes. He didn¡¯t want such a thing to happen. Therefore, he finished devouring them before using [Mighty Combustion]. ¡®Boom¡¯ Soon, a huge explosion urred as the five Heavenly ming lions jumping at Leo sted away. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Even though his [Mighty Combustion] was still at level 8, it was a mutated talent. Hence, it could seriously injure even rank 9 heroes. Moreover, the five lions were very close to them. So, the impact they received was much stronger than usual, making the four ming lion clones disappear, leaving the main lion on the ground. ¡°Roar¡± Nevertheless, the original lion stood up and roared at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the injuries on its body slowly started healing, surprising Leo. ¡°Looks like when you transform into a Heavenly ming lion, you will even get all its skills. No wonder, you are able to make the Ambermane family into one of the three powerful families.¡± Leo praised Liam and slowly walked closer to him. ¡°However, do you think I will give you time to recover from your injuries?¡± ¡®Fireball¡¯ While saying those words, Leo condensed a small fireball and released it at the lion, interrupting its healing. ¡®Growl¡¯ Liam growled at Leo and realized that Leo¡¯s information fooled everyone. ¡®He is definitely a rank 9 hero.¡¯ Liam silently thought and continued to attack Leo without healing his injuries. [Mighty Combustion] However, before his ws could touch Leo, he was sted away by Leo¡¯s talent. It repeated a few more times, and the heavenly ming lion had finally transformed back into Liam. Currently, Liam waspletely covered in injuries and looked at Leo with a face full of fear. ¡°Today is your Ambermane family¡¯sst night in this world.¡± Leo pulled a chair and sat on it. ¡°Why are you attacking my Ambermane family? What did my Ambermane family do to you?¡± Even though there was bad blood between Leo and the Ambermane family because of Julia and the incident from the [Treasure Land], it was not to the point where his entire family needed to be erased. Moreover, when he heard Leo¡¯s words, Liam didn¡¯t doubt Leo and asked the reason behind the massacre. ¡°Do you remember Spencer and Mariam?¡± Leo asked Liam with a cold face. ¡°The researchers?¡± Liam frowned when he heard those two names. How could he forget those two names? Only after that event was the Ambermane family able to be the trusted aide of the city leader Theodore. From then, the Ambermane family started growing at an incredible speed before joining the ranks of the powerful families. ¡°What? How are you rted to them? And why are you asking about them out of nowhere?¡± Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions and asked Leo. ¡°As long as you give me the exact reason why you killed them, I will let your family live.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to answer his question; instead, he offered a deal to Liam. ¡®I need to escape from here and inform the city leader about this b*stard. He is somehow rted to those researchers.¡¯ This was the first thought in Liam¡¯s head; however, looking at Leo¡¯s cold face, he felt it was impossible to escape from here. ¡°What? Why would I kill those researchers? It was their adopted son who killed them.¡± It was a secret that the city leader didn¡¯t want toe out. So, Liam exined to Leo the same story they made up in the past. ¡°Haha¡­you people are really fun. Do you expect me to believe that?¡± Leo chuckled coldly and mocked Liam. ¡°It¡¯s real. Their adopted son was unlucky and didn¡¯t awaken a talent from the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯. So, when he learned that his adoptive parents invented an artificial awakening serum¡­.¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t agree to give him. So, he killed them and took the serum before escaping to who knows where, right?¡± Liam started the story; however, Leo continued from the middle and ended it with a scoff. ¡°That¡¯s right! You can ask anyone in this city and they will say the same thing.¡± Liam didn¡¯t mind Leo scoffing at him because he only cared about surviving his current situation. ¡®As long as I am alive, I can take revenge on him for killing my family.¡¯ Even though Liam thought like that, he valued his life more than his family. Liam will pick the first option without hesitation if someone asks him whether he wants his life or his entire family. As for revenge, he wanted to take on Leo for reducing him to such a pitiful state. ¡°Then, why don¡¯t I remember doing such a thing to my adoptive parents?¡± A fireball condensed in Leo¡¯s hand as he asked Liam. ¡°What?¡± Liam didn¡¯t understand what Leo¡¯s words meant for a few moments; however, when he thought about it, he understood what Leo¡¯s words meant. ¡°You are¡­their adoptive son?¡± With a shocked look on his face, Liam asked Leo. ¡°N-no. It can¡¯t be. Their son has already be the food to the monsters and the mutated beasts.¡± However, before Leo could answer, Liam shook his head and denied the possibility of a 10-year-old kid surviving in the wilderness alone. **** Random gifts = Random Bonus Chapters.

Chapter 107 Project: Talent Awakening Serum ¡°Of course, it is impossible for a 10-year-old kid to survive in the wilderness.¡± Leo stood up from the chair, walked closer to Liam, and continued, ¡°Unless he was sold to a merchant caravan who enved that boy before selling to Manticores.¡± ¡°What?¡± Liam was shocked when he heard Leo¡¯s brief story. ¡°You must have asked your subordinates to kill me; however, you must have been not paying them well. So, they decided to make some quick bucks by selling a talentless boy.¡± ¡®Those idiots.¡¯ Liam could not help but curse the servants who were supposed to kill the boy. ¡®If he was enved, then does he have a master?¡¯ ¡®Wait a second. Didn¡¯t he say he was sold to manticores? They were not the type to take revenge for a human.¡¯ ¡®Does that mean he escaped from them?¡¯ ¡®No¡­it is impossible for a ve to escape from the ve master.¡¯ Once he learned how that talentless boy survived and returned to take revenge, Liam¡¯s head was filled with thousands of questions. Even though the answer to all those questions is standing in front of him right now, Liam didn¡¯t know a talentless boy turned into a genius with three rare talents. Moreover, from the looks of it, he has the battle prowess equivalent to rank 9.-. ¡®I need to find out his secret, and if I can use it, I might be a Supreme Hero.¡¯ Even though Liam knew that Leo might kill him at any time, he racked his brain to devise an idea to survive his current ordeal. ¡°W-what do you want to do now?¡± Lian already knew what Leo nned to do to him and his Ambermane family; however, he still asked, hoping to make a deal with him. It was a n that he came up with after racking his brain. ¡°Do you need to ask that?¡± Leo mocked Liam and said, ¡°You already know what I want.¡± ¡°If you promise me that you will not kill me, I will say everything I know.¡± Liam knew Leo would not kill him until he heard the truth behind the death of his adoptive parents. Hence, he tried to strike a deal with Leo. ¡°¡­¡± Leo remained silent and acted like he was hesitating before nodding his head. ¡°Okay. I promise.¡± Clenching his fists, Leo agreed to Liam¡¯s deal. ¡®Looks like he is still a young man whocks experience.¡¯ Liam was happy when Leo agreed to his deal and concluded that Leo was still an inexperienced young man trying to take revenge for his adoptive parents. ¡®Good. For now, I need to escape from here.¡¯ With that thought, Liam started exining the events from the past. ¡°Maybe because of your parents¡¯ talents or their continuous research on the talents, mutated beasts, and the monster, your adoptive parents, became one of the few brilliant researchers in this world.¡± ¡°All the brilliant researchers and scientists in this world are funded by the ¡®Union of the City Leaders¡¯.¡± ¡°With the help of those brilliant¡­.¡± ¡°Come to the point directly. I know about the ¡®Union of the City leaders¡¯ and the little pet projects they carry out in the name of advancing the human race.¡± Leo interrupted Liam¡¯s words and asked him to tell him about his adoptive parents. Leo sensed that Liam was trying to dy the time. Nevertheless, he was not worried that someone woulde to his rescue because the two supreme heroes of this city were busy with their things. City leader Theodore was nning their uing expedition into the otherworldly portal. In contrast, Mr. White was busy selling the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ to the branch leaders of their organization. Of course, Leo didn¡¯t know what things they were busy with. He only knew they were busy with some important matters and currently unavable. ¡®Unless it is a monster or mutated beast invasion, they will note out that easily.¡¯ Leo silently thought and waited for Liam to finish his words. ¡°O-okay. I didn¡¯t expect young hero Leo to know about the ¡®Union of the City leaders¡¯.¡± Liam nodded and continued, ¡°Your adoptive parents found a way to awaken the talent in the talentless human. It was a serum that can help awaken a talent, so they named it ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯.¡± ¡°Your parents were praised by all the city leaders from the union and given even more resources for them to create that ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯. After countless failures, they finally made the first ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯.¡± ¡°What? My parents created the ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯?¡± Leo was shocked after hearing Liam¡¯s words because he always felt his adoptive parents were ordinary. ¡°When everyone thought the things for the human race were going better, a few city leaders pulled back their funds and ordered your parents and all the researchers and scientists in their group to halt their project for some unknown reason.¡± ¡°However, those batch of scientists and researchers was into the mass-producing that serum that can make the entire human race a lot stronger against the monsters and the mutated beasts.¡± ¡°Since you know about the ¡®Union of the City leaders¡¯, I don¡¯t think I have to tell what happened afterwards, right?¡± Liam didn¡¯t exin thoroughly; however, he knew Leo was intelligent enough to guess what happened next. ¡®Why did the city leaders not want that awakening serum to be mass-produced?¡¯ Leo knew what happened afterwards; however, he didn¡¯t understand why the city leaders would oppose mass-producing the talent awakening serum? The city leaders were already supreme heroes and had a lot of resources to increase their forces¡¯ strength. Therefore, they did not need to worry that someone might use those serums to create their faction to rece their position as the city leader. ¡®Moreover, even without the talent awakening serum, if someone wanted to rece the city leader, they would always do that in secret because there were only a few humans who were unlucky not to awaken any talent.¡¯ No matter how much he thought, Leo could not find the answer to his question. ¡®It looks like something else that made the city leaders uneasy about the talent awakening serum, or was it my parents who were capable ofing off with such a miraculous serum?¡¯ ¡®No¡­if that is the case, then the talent awakening serum would be mass-produced and sold in batches in every city or at least in the supreme markets. Therefore, it has something to do with the serum.¡¯ Leo concluded that something about the serum made the city leaders uneasy. ¡°Why the city leaders didn¡¯t want the talent awakening serum to be mass-produced?¡± Even though Leo knew Liam might not know the answer to his question, he still asked to try his luck. ¡°I am only following the orders of the city leader Theodore. So, I don¡¯t know many things.¡± As expected, Liam shook his head and informed, ¡°If you want to know more answers, you should ask Gregor or the city leader.¡± ¡°Sure. Thanks for telling me everything you knew.¡±¡® Leo nodded and thanked Liam. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I hope¡­¡± ¡®sh¡¯ ¡°You can go and join with your brother and sons.¡± Before Liam could finish his words, Leo shed his throat at an incredible speed. **** Gifts = Bonus Chapters. **** nando11, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. Chapter 108 Mission Completed ¡°B-but why?¡± Liam tried to stop the blood rushing out of the cut on his neck and asked Leo with a shocked look. ¡°Because I am famous for breaking the promises I made.¡± Leo replied to Liam with a scoff and said, ¡°Also, don¡¯t worry. Even though I look cold, I am not the type to break up families. Your little brother Seth will also join you in hell.¡± ¡°There is no need to thank me for that. I love family reunions.¡± From Dominic, Leo already knew Seth Ambermane had gone to Starlight City, and he had already asked someone in Starlight city to take care of Seth silently. ¡®What?¡¯ Liam was only an inch away from death and could not bear Leo acting like he did some kind of favour by killing his entire family. He had never expected that the two servants¡¯ greed for a few bucks had cost the lives of the entire Ambermane family. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Boss, you have already taken care of the family head?¡± As Liam was having a little bit of consciousness, he saw Dominic and others appear in the dining hall and call Leo ¡®Boss¡¯. ¡®So, they were all in this together.¡¯ In thest moments of his life, he discovered another shocking thing as he closed his eyes. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to look at Liam because he had already received confirmation of his death from the system notification.-. ¡°I guessed right. The Ambermane family is not alone. The Cloudriver family and even the city leader are behind the death of my adoptive parents.¡± Even though Leo looked calm on the surface, he was furious and wanted to kill the Cloudriver family and the city leader. However, he controlled his anger and wanted to find the truth before killing them. Moreover, killing the city leader inside the city was impossible because of the formation. Therefore, Leo was not in a hurry to kill the city leader Theodore. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo thought of something, ¡®The city leader is nning an expedition. It looks like I can test my luck then.¡¯ ¡°Boss, what is your next step? Since the Icefeather family has nothing to do with that event from the past, shall I inform the ¡®Silent Beast¡¯ mercenary squad to leave the Icefeather family?¡± Dominic asked about Leo¡¯s next move. ¡°No. Let them stay with the family. Judging from the family head¡¯s character, I don¡¯t think he is innocent and had nothing to do with the death of my adoptive parents.¡± Leo shook his head and continued, ¡°As for you, you should return to our hideout for a while.¡± The fact that everyone from the Ambermane family was killed would be known to everyone tomorrow, and if Dominic and others were still alive, they would be suspected without a doubt. Therefore, Leo asked them to leave the city and hide until he settled everything in Phirie city. ¡°Yes. Boss.¡± Dominic epted the order and replied, ¡°We will take care of the bodies before leaving the city.¡± ¡°It will take a lot of time for you to make those bodies disappear. Let me take care of them.¡± Leo shook his head and ordered them, ¡°Pile all the bodies in one ce and leave the city.¡± ¡°Boss, if you burn them, there will be ashes. Even though it will take some time for us, we can¡­.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am not nning to burn those bodies; instead¡­.¡± ¡®Roar¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t finish his words; instead, he showed the devil¡¯s mouth on his palm, surprising Dominic and others. ¡°Boss, what is that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my talent.¡± With a smile, Leo replied. ¡°Another talent? Boss, you are a monster.¡± Mikhael could not control his awe for his boss and spat those words. ¡°How dare you call the Boss a monster?¡± Reba pped the back of Mikhael¡¯s head and scolded him. ¡°Guys, let¡¯s hurry up.¡± Dominic raised his voice a little and left the building with them. ¡°Shall I devour him?¡± Looking at Liam¡¯s corpse, Leo revealed a slight smile and walked towards it. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ However, his footsteps suddenly stopped as he thought, ¡®That¡¯s right! As one of the three powerful families in Phirie city, it must have a lot of hero coins and treasures, right?¡¯ ¡°dimir, send your bats and search the treasure room.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The shadow vampire hurriedly nodded and followed Leo¡¯s orders. ¡°Master, one of my bats, found the treasure room.¡± ¡°Already?¡± ¡°Yes, Master. I have trained my bats in searching for treasure rooms for situations like this.¡± Within a minute, dimir bragged about his bats to Leo. ¡°Stay here and look after the corpse. I will go and check out the treasures.¡± Leo got used to dimir¡¯s bragging about his achievements. So, he left the shadow vampire in charge of the corpse before entering the treasure room. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ¡®Strike before the Enemy¡¯. ¡®Ding, A map to the [God runs] is sent to the host. The moment he stepped foot in the treasure room, Leo received several system notifications, which surprised him. ¡®It looks like he sessfully killed Seth in Starlight city.¡¯ After killing Liam, Leo was waiting for the mission aplishment notifications, and seeing them, he heaved a sigh of relief. Leo was not looking for the reward; instead, it was an assurance for him that he killed everyone from the Ambermane family. ¡®Where is the location of this [God ruins].¡¯ Before checking out the treasure room, Leo opened the scroll that appeared in his hands. ¡°It is in the [Uncleared Land] around the Starlight city. I can¡¯t leave Phirie City for a few days as it will make me look suspicious. I think I should leave after this Ambermane family¡¯s matter settles down.¡± Leo wanted to go to the [God ruins] because it was the fastest way to increase his strength or find more Fragments of the God stones or even aplete God stone. However, he wanted to observe the aftermath of eliminating the Ambermane family, and at the same time, he didn¡¯t want to look suspicious. Moreover, the city leader is nning an expedition soon. Hence, he postponed the matter regarding the [God ruins] and devised a good n after learning more about the expedition date. ¡°Now, let¡¯s see how much the Ambermane family had amassed bymitting all kinds of dirty jobs for the city leader.¡± Inside the treasure room, there was a huge golden-coloured chest. ¡°Only one box? I thought they would have at least a dozen boxes.¡± However, when Leo saw there was only one treasure chest, he was a little disappointed. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s see what¡¯s inside it.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo opened it and saw it was full of hero coins. ¡®Come to daddy.¡¯ Leo absorbed all the hero coins into his storage ring without wasting any time. ¡®Ding, The host gained 30 million hero coins. ¡¯30 million hero coins? As expected for the city leader¡¯s dog.¡¯ Leo could tell why the Ambermane family had so much money, and it was because they followed the city leader¡¯s orders. ¡®Huh? What is that?¡¯ After absorbing all the hero coins, Leo saw a small jade box in one corner of the treasure chest. ¡®This is¡­¡¯ Leo curiously opened it and was pleasantly surprised by the item inside the box. *** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 109 Another Special Talent ¡®This is¡­.a fragment of the God stone?¡¯ Leo was shocked by the familiar stone inside the jade box. ¡®From when did these fragments of the God stone be so easy to find?¡¯ Picking the stone out of the jade box, Leo could not help but ask himself. ¡®Ding, The system detected a Fragment of the God stone. Do you want to use the special effect of the item? As usual, the system notification resounded in his head, and Leo used it without hesitation. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Ability] cooldown has been reduced by three months. ¡®Ding, The host can swallow a new talent. ¡®Finally, I can awaken the family head¡¯s talent [Heavenly ming Lion Tranformation].¡¯ Leo was not expecting to find another fragment of the God stone in the Ambermane family. Nevertheless, with the help of that stone, Leo can awaken a new talent he had his eyes on. He didn¡¯t devour Liam earlier because he was keeping him for thest after he devoured the other corpses in the Ambermane family. Even though it was not guaranteed that he would awaken a talent just by devouring Liam¡¯s corpse in the end, Leo believed the chances of awakening his talent were more. However, he unexpectedly found a fragment of the God stone and removed the three months¡¯ cool down from his ability. ¡®Is it because the world assessment ising closer?¡¯-. Recently, so many things happened, and Leo learned a few new things. Hence, he was able to conclude that the appearance of the God stone¡¯s fragment in this world was mainly because of the world assessment. ¡®I guess Liam was waiting for one of his sons to be a rank 7 hero before giving this fragment of the God stone.¡¯ Since a Fragment of the God stone could upgrade a level 7 talent into level 8, Leo guessed why Liam didn¡¯t use the fragment of the God stone on the other rank 7 heroes in the family. ¡®Should I give this fragment of the God stone to Ryan, Julia, or my subordinates?¡¯ Walking out of the treasure room, Leo thought as he yed with the fragment of the God stone in his hand. Currently, Leo has many rank 7 heroes around them, and they could all use the fragment of the God stone to be rank 8 heroes; however, the problem is, he had to choose one among them. ¡®For now, I will just keep it with me and see who needs the fragment of the God stone more.¡¯ With that thought, Leo stored the fragment of the God stone in his storage ring before returning to the dining hall where Liam¡¯s corpse was. ¡°Master, you are back already?¡± dimir was surprised that Leo came back so soon. ¡°Yes. There are not many things in the Ambermane family; however, I am satisfied with what they have.¡± The fragment of the God stone was enough reward for Leo. ¡®Extract¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste time as he ced his hand on Liam¡¯s corpse and extracted the talent. ¡®Ding, Extracting the talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. ¡®Ding, Extraction is sessful. Within a few seconds, a fiery red-coloured crystal condensed above Liam¡¯s body which Leo picked and swallowed in a single gulp. ¡®Huh? Master can extract new talent already?¡¯ On the other hand, dimir was surprised and thought, ¡®Didn¡¯t he extract a talent a few days back?¡¯ The shadow vampire remembered Leo extracting [Haunting of the Ecstasy] from Clemens. ording to what he knew about Leo¡¯s talent swallowing ability: Leo could extract a talent only once a year. ¡®Did he have a breakthrough in his ability?¡¯ Other than thinking of various possibilities, dimir silently remained in his ce. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for awakening a new talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Heavenly ming Lion Transformation. Current level: Level 1. Talent Type: Special. Effect: Upon activating this talent, the user will transform into a Heavenly ming Lion for a minute with one of the main skills. Main skills: Fire fang Soon, a new talent was added to Leo¡¯s list. ¡®Since I have a lot of [Promote points], I will just upgrade it to level 4.¡¯ Without hesitation, Leo spent 26000 [Promote points] and upgraded that talent to level 4. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Heavenly ming Lion Transformation. Current level: Level 4. Talent Type: Special. Effect: Upon activation of this talent, the user will transform into a Heavenly ming Lion for ten minutes with three main skills of the ming lion. Main skills: Fire fang, ming Fury, and Heavenly roar. Note: The user can¡¯t use other talents after transforming into a Heavenly ming Lion. ¡®With a ss upgrade from Basic to Elite, it became much more powerful.¡¯ He didn¡¯t have to check the information of the skills to tell how powerful the talent had be because of a ss upgrade. [Fire fang]: The fangs of the ming lion will be covered in mes and could inflict serious fire damage on its opponents. [ming Fury]: The ming lion will be covered in mes, and its battle prowess will increase by three times. [Heavenly Roar]: A special roar that will make the enemies¡¯ will disappear and make them shiver in fear. Even strong-willed beings will hesitate to fight the user. Nevertheless, he checked the information about the skills that he would get after transforming into a Heavenly ming lion. ¡®Except for the fact that I can¡¯t use other talents, this talent is pretty much an excellent one to have.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the skill and wanted to upgrade it into an advanced talent. ¡®I still need six more basic talents. If I am lucky, it won¡¯t take much time to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 4.¡¯ Leo could upgrade for normal talents by repeated use; however, it would take a lot of time if he followed the same method for special talents. Therefore, as long as Leo could upgrade the [Talent Promoter], he could directly upgrade the newly awakened talents from basic to advanced ss. ¡°Boss, we finished the task.¡± Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts with Dominic¡¯s words. ¡°Thank you for your hard work. You can return to our ce and increase your and your team¡¯s strength.¡± Leo saw the huge pile of corpses in the distance and asked Dominic and others to leave now. ¡°Okay, Boss.¡± ¡°Boss, thanks for the sword. I will continue to work hard.¡± ¡°Boss, please take care of yourself, and don¡¯t forget everyone needs you.¡± Dominic and others said a few words before disappearing into the darkness. ¡°dimir, let¡¯s take care of the pile.¡± Soon, a human and a shadow vampire started working on the huge pile of corpses. One used the devil¡¯s mouth on his hand to devour the corpse, whereas the other drained the blood. ¡­ ¡®Phew¡­finally we finished it.¡¯ Leo and dimir heaved a sigh of relief as the entire pile of corpses disappeared without a trace now. The blood stains on the ground were taken care of by the shadow vampire¡¯s cloak. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡®Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check it. Just as Leo and dimir were nning to visit the Ambermane family grounds, Leo received a system notification, making him stop in his tracks. ¡®A new mission already?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised and opened the mission tab to check the mission. ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, when he saw the information on the mission, he frowned. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 110 New Mission ¡®Ding, Mission name: Iing monster and mutated beast hordes. Information: The three supreme grade monster kings and mutated beast kings sensed the fluctuations of the supreme grade eggs in the host¡¯s possession. It took some time for them to pinpoint the location of the eggs and find out they were in Phirie city. Therefore, they areing with their minions to destroy the Phirie city and find the supreme grade eggs. Objective: Help Phirie city from not getting overrun by the monsters and the mutated beasts. Mission Reward: 1) The system will fasten the hatching process of the supreme grade eggs. 2) A random grade 1 world ticket. Mission Failure: The host will lose the eggs and die in the hands of the supreme grade beings. ¡®These supreme grade eggs are the ticking bombs.¡¯ Leo muttered to himself, looking at the holographic screen that was filled with mission details. ¡®I need to do something about these eggs; otherwise, I can¡¯t focus on the things at hand.¡¯ Earlier, the dark spectre could sense the presence of the supreme grade eggs and now three supreme grade beings. So, Leo wanted to take care of these eggs as soon as possible. ¡®Ding, After the egg hatches, the supreme beast and supreme monster¡¯s aura will disappear. ¡®Oh¡¯ With the sudden system notification, Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile.-. ¡®It looks like I mustplete this mission for the reward.¡¯ If the supreme beings¡¯ aura disappears from the eggs, Leo doesn¡¯t have to worry about being continuously hunted by the monsters and the mutated spirit beasts. Therefore, Leo thought to hatch them as soon as possible bypleting the new mission. ¡®Also, the second reward seems very tempting.¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t check the information, Leo could tell from the name regarding its usage. ¡®If I can enter a grade 1 world, then I can swallow more special talents, right?¡¯ Just thinking about it made Leo excited as he looked forward to it. ¡®However, dealing with three surpeme grade beings will be a little troublesome¡­wait a second. Why am I worrying too much about it.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo thought of something and revealed a slight smile. ¡®Since the monsters and the mutated beasts are nning to destroy the Phirie city, the city leader has to act. At the same time, he will definitely request Mr. White¡¯s help.¡¯ Leo wanted to use the ¡®Borrowed Knife¡¯ strategy toplete the mission. ¡®System, when will the invasion start?¡¯ Once he decided on his n, Leo asked the system about the invasion. ¡®Ding, The invasion will start in 12 hours. Please prepare before the invasion starts. ¡¯12 hours is more than enough time to recover my energy.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo went to his manor and slept. ¡­.. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, the sun rose, and the morning came. In the Solitary forest, ¡°Roar¡± A huge four-winged wyvern roared at the two monsters as though it was urging them for something. One monster was a ten-meter-huge Ogre with a silver horn protruding out of his skull, whereas the other one was a humanoid lizard with strong scales all over its body. These two monsters and the four-winged wyvern were the three supreme-grade beings that rule the Solitary forest and live in the forest¡¯s depths. ¡°Are you sure you sensed two supreme grade eggs from a human?¡± Silver-horned Ogre King asked the Labyrinth drake king for the third time in his hoarse voice. ¡°Yes. It was only for a brief moment; however, I am sure about them.¡± The Labyrinth Drake King nodded and looked at the yer wyvern king, ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice the eggs as well?¡± ¡®Nods¡¯ The wyvern nodded and said, ¡°I have already assembled my minions. Let¡¯s go and tten that human city.¡± However, they didn¡¯t rush things; instead, they nned everything on how to destroy the city and take the eggs quickly. ¡°Let¡¯s go with n A. If it doesn¡¯t work, let¡¯s go with n B.¡± The drake king devised two ns and exined them. ¡°Is there a need for having two ns? We three can easily tten that human city and its leader.¡± ¡°Yes. I feel the same.¡± However, the other two supreme-grade beings felt no need to n anything. ¡°No. There is no need to go to an all-out war with humans.¡± Nevertheless, the drake king was against an all-out war with the humans as he stated, ¡°The world assessment will be in a few months. It is easy to erase humans from this world when that timees. So, we should save our energy for the future.¡± ¡°Right! I forgot about the world assessment.¡± ¡°I am waiting for that day too.¡± Everyone agreed to go with the drake king¡¯s n, where n A could save their energy. ¡°Let¡¯s only bring rank 7 to rank 9 minions and see whether n A will seed or not.¡± Soon, two supreme monster kings and a supreme beast king moved towards Phirie city. ¡­.. In the city leader¡¯s mansion, ¡°Leader, a group of powerful looking monsters and the mutated beasts areing towards the Phirie city.¡± One of the watchers hurriedly informed Theodore about the iing monsters and the mutated beasts. ¡°What? What did you say?¡± Theodore was busy nning their expedition with a group of analysts observing the otherworldly portal for thest few months. So, when he heard the sudden invasion of the monsters and the mutated beasts, he could not help but frown. ¡°Currently there are two monster hordes and a mutated beast horde. Each horde is led by the supreme grade being.¡± The watcher was breathing heavily; however, he still informed everything about the iing hordes. ¡°Supreme grade monsters and the mutated beast? What the hell do they want now?¡± Theodore clenched his fists. As the supreme grade being himself, Theodore already knew about the three supreme grade beings that rule the solitary forest. At the same time, he also knew how powerful they were. ¡®Damn it¡­if we fight against them now, the expedition will be postponed for who knows how long. If he finds out I dyed the expedition, I will be punished.¡¯ Theodore became anxious and tried to cover his emotions before saying, ¡°Announce about the horde. Everyone with a hero rank of 4 or above must assemble at the city¡¯s outer gate within 10 minutes.¡± ¡°Yes, leader.¡± Soon, the watcher left to announce the news to everyone in the city. ¡°Prepare yourself with everything you got. I will join you at the city gate.¡± Next, Theodore ordered his rank 9 city guards before entering his room ¡°Yes, leader.¡± The city guards respectfully nodded before rushing to the armory to equip themselves with weapons. ¡­. Inside Theodore¡¯s room, ¡®Seal¡¯ The first thing he did after entering the room was to use a talisman to seal his surroundings before dialling a number. ¡®Beep¡¯ ¡°Hello. Can I talk to the master? It is something urgent.¡± Soon, the call connected and the city leader Theodore spoke in an anxious tone. If someone from Phirie city heard these words, they would be shocked because the city leader was already a supreme hero, and now he was calling someone who seemed above him. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

You can tell me what your problem is.¡¯ A melodious voice came from the other side of the call. ¡°Master has¡­..and now my city is surrounded by¡­.¡± Soon, Theodore briefly exined his current situation. ¡®Wait a minute.¡¯ The melodious voice asked Theodore to wait for a minute, and he did withoutining. ¡®You are quite lucky.¡¯ In less than a minute, the woman from the other side replied, ¡®Before the master went on his otherworldly tour, he sent one of his supreme grade servants.¡¯ ¡°What? Master sent a supreme grade servant?¡± Theodore was shocked for a moment before bing excited. ¡®Yes. He will reach Phirie city by afternoon. So, try to survive until then.¡¯ As soon as the woman said those words, the call got disconnected. ¡®I need to defend the city for five hours. I can do it.¡¯-. Soon, Theodore motivated himself and started his preparations for the fight. ¡­ As the city leader and his guards prepared to stop the invasion, a loud announcement started in the entire Phirie city. This was the thought in their heads. -. ¡°Yes.¡± Even though Theodore didn¡¯t like being looked down on by a bunch of monsters and the mutated beasts, he knew the other party was very strong. So, he nodded and wondered, ¡®A chance? What is it?¡¯ ¡°You can clearly tell you can¡¯t win against us. Hence, I will propose a deal and if you fulfil it, we will leave from here right away.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± The drake king¡¯s words clearly intrigued Theodore as he asked about the deal. ¡°Someone from your city has stolen two supreme grade eggs from my Solitary Forest. As long as you return them, I promise, we will leave right away.¡± ¡°What? Someone stole the supreme grade eggs?¡± Theodore and everyone from the human side was shocked by the drake king¡¯s words. ¡®How is it possible?¡¯ ¡®Is it City leader? Only he has the strength to enter the depths of the solitary forest.¡¯ ¡®Yeah. I feel the same.¡¯ ¡®Idiot. See the city leader¡¯s face, he is also shocked just like us. I don¡¯t think he stole the eggs.¡¯ ¡®Then who is it? The family heads?¡¯ ¡®Wait a second¡­where is the family head Liam?¡¯ ¡®That¡¯s right! No one from the Ambermane family has joined us to stop the invasion.¡¯ At first, most of them thought it was Theodore because of his supreme rank; however, soon, it shifted to three family heads before concluding Liam Ambermane was the thief who stole the supreme grade eggs. Actually, the eggs came from the [Treasure Land] and were not stolen from the Solitary Forest. It was just a n that the drake king hade up with to avoid the fight. ¡®Is it really Liam? No, that lowly servant didn¡¯t have the strength to do something like that.¡¯ However, the city leader Theodore didn¡¯t think Liam was capable of something like that. Even though he could not contact Liam, he was very sure that it was not Liam. ¡®There is only a single person who is capable of doing something like that and he is also not here.¡¯ Theodore turned his head and looked at the tallest building in the distance. ¡°Looks like you have no idea about it.¡± Seeing the surprised look on Theodore¡¯s face, the drake king said in a calm tone, ¡°We will give you 10 minutes. If you don¡¯t hand over those eggs, you will have to bear the consequences.¡± ¡°10 minutes? It is not enough. I need at least a couple of hours to find out who stole your eggs.¡± After thinking for a moment, Theodore asked the drake king for two hours. ¡°If you can¡¯t agree to that, then we could only fight to death. Then, I wonder whether you can find the eggs or not?¡± Before the drake king could reply, Theodore added another line that made the drake king a little furious. Even though they sensed the presence of the supreme grade eggs, it was only for a brief moment. So, the Drake King knew it would be very hard to find the supreme grade eggs if the other party hid them in a ce they could not reach. ¡°Fine. If you don¡¯t find the eggs in two hours, we will erase the Phirie city into nothing.¡± Without much choice, the drake king agreed to Theodore¡¯s request. ¡°Everyone, be alert. We can¡¯t trust those monsters to keep their word.¡± After warning the heroes, Theodore flew back into the city and headed straight to Mr. White¡¯s residence. ¡®If he really stole those eggs, then I can get one egg¡­Hehe.¡¯ While flying toward Mr. White¡¯s residence, Theodore could not help but reveal a greedy look. ¡­.. On the outer city wall, ¡°It looks like the monsters and mutated beasts want to avoid unnecessary fights before the world assessment.¡± Leo was hiding in his secret dimension as he watched everything that happened outside the city wall. After hearing their conversation, Leo was surprised that the monsters and mutated beasts wanted to avoid fighting; however, he found an answer with some thinking. ¡°But, you can¡¯t avoid the fight because I have the supreme grade eggs and I don¡¯t n to give it to anyone.¡± Leo muttered to himself and asked the system, ¡®System, you are sure that no one can sense the supreme grade eggs now, right?¡¯ ¡®Ding, Yes, but the talisman¡¯s effect is only temporary. Therefore, the host has to stop the invasion. Since Leo didn¡¯t have ns to give away the supreme grade eggs, it was inevitable to avoid the fight between the humans and the monsters/beasts. So, he used a talisman that could hide a hero¡¯s strength to hide the presence of the supreme grade eggs. ¡®I would have never guessed, those talismans can be used like that.¡¯ Obviously, it was the system that suggested that method to hide the presence of the supreme grade eggs temporarily. ¡°Now, it¡¯s fighting time.¡± ¡®Fireball¡¯ Seeing that Theodore had left, Leo walked out of his secret dimension and released six fireballs at the monsters. ¡®Boom¡¯ **** Three weekly BONUS CHAPTERS will be released soon.

Chapter 113 Silver-Horned Ogre King ¡®Boom¡¯ The six fireballs were mostly aimed at only rank 7 monsters and the mutated beasts, and as soon as the fireballsnded, an explosion that was big enough to kill more than ten rank 7 monsters urred in six different spots. ¡°How dare you attack us after asking for some time.¡± The Silver-horned Ogre king gets angry easily, and seeing that the humans were attacking them after asking for some time, he could not help but be angry. ¡°Drake, I already said the humans of this world are sneaky. Let¡¯s attack.¡± Without wasting time for the drake king¡¯s reply, he ordered his horde to attack the humans. ¡°Roar¡± yer wyvern king roared in agreement and ordered the wyverns behind it to attack. ¡®Sigh¡­looks like it is inevitable to fight.¡¯ Looking at the fellow supreme grade beings order their minions to attack, the drake king could not help but sigh and gave the same order to his subordinates. ¡°Roar¡± ¡°Kill¡­kill¡± Soon, all the wyverns, ogres and lizardmen rushed toward the human heroes with full killing intent. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®How attacked them?¡¯-. ¡®The attack came from there?¡¯ On the other hand, the human heroes looked at the city wall to see who released the fireballs. Soon, they saw someone with a red-coloured mask standing on the city wall, waving his hand at them before disappearing. ¡®Damn it¡­who is it?¡¯ ¡®Why did he release those fireballs and start the fight with the monster and mutated beasts?¡¯ Everyone was furious at the masked man¡¯s action; however, right now, they didn¡¯t have any other choice other than to fight the monsters and the mutated beasts. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The masked man appeared before them as they were about to rush toward the iing mutated beasts and the monsters. ¡°Teleportation?¡± ¡°No¡­it might be the rare [Space Maniption] because it seemed like he walked out of the portal.¡± As the rank 9 heroes, the family heads noticed the minor difference between the [Teleportation] and the [Space Maniption]. ¡°[Space Maniption]?¡± ¡®Phew¡­looks like no one will mistake me for Leo anymore.¡¯ Finally, Leo heaved a sigh of relief as his n worked. ¡°Mercenaries, it is a good time to fill your pockets. Attack.¡± Without wasting any time, Leo raised the morale of the mercenaries before condensing another six fireballs. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ Leo killed around 50 or so rank 7 monsters this time and injured another 50. ¡°Yes. It is time for the mercenaries.¡± ¡°Ethereal des, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Silent Beasts, we have to earn at least a million hero coins in this fight.¡± Leo¡¯s two mercenary squads were the first ones to rush into the fight, and seeing them, the remaining mercenary squads also followed them. ¡°Cloudfeather family, we can¡¯t lose to these lowly mercenaries. Attack.¡± ¡°Icefeather family, what are you waiting for?¡± Soon, the two powerful families and the three strongest mercenary squads joined the fight. [Fire w] [Spectre] [Fireball] Leo started using his new skills, which were already upgraded to level 7. So, he didn¡¯t have any problem killing the rank 7 monsters with those skills. Also, from time to time, he released multiple fireballs to kill and injure the monsters and the beasts. Even though he could use [Mighty Combustion]¡¯s first effect to instantly burn all the rank 7 and rank 8 monsters and mutated beasts into ashes, it would kill the human heroes below rank 8. Another important thing was that the rank 9 family heads, strong mercenary squad leaders and the city guards could find his identity. ¡®Ding, The host killed ten rank 7 monsters and gained 1000 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed three rank 8 monsters and gained 600 [Promote point]. ¡®Ding, . . The system notifications continuously rang in Leo¡¯s hand, motivating him to kill more. Even though the monsters and mutated beasts were getting killed at the hands of the human heroes, the humans were also getting killed. However, the death ratio on the humans¡¯ side was low as they formed teams to fight. ¡°Huh? That masked human¡­is giving me a bad premonition.¡± As Leo¡¯s killing speed was very high, it was inevitable for the supreme-grade monster to notice him. ¡°Huh? He is giving you a bad premonition?¡± The other two supreme-grade beings were shocked by Drake king¡¯s words. ¡°Yes. There is something about him that wants me to either kill him or leave him alone.¡± Drake king tried to say something; however, he could not express the feeling he was having when looking at Leo, who was killing the rank 7 and 8 monsters as though they were nothing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will take care of him.¡± The ogre king raised his brows and walked towards Leo with his huge battle axe. ¡°Finally one of the main bosses wants to fight me.¡± Leo was already expecting one of the supreme-grade beings to notice him; however, he didn¡¯t expect to be noticed so soon. ¡°Die.¡± Even though the ogre king didn¡¯t know why Drake king said those words about Leo, in his eyes, Leo was nothing but an ant that could be crushed at any time. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t waste time thinking about swinging his huge battle axe at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo was already keeping an eye on his surroundings. Hence, he could dodge the iing battle axes and enter the secret dimension. ¡®Huh? A spatial talent?¡¯ The ogre king frowned and hurriedly checked his surroundings; however, he could not find Leo anywhere. ¡®War god¡¯s sword¡­show me how powerful you are.¡¯ Leo appeared in the same ce as the Ogre king was checking his surroundings and hurriedly summoned the war god¡¯s sword to pierce through the ogre king¡¯s leg. Since the Ogre king was 10 meters in height and Leo was only three meters, Leo could only aim for the leg, which would be much faster than piercing the throat. ¡®ng¡¯ The moment the sword touched the ogre king¡¯s leg, a metallic sound rang, and Leo felt his hands be numb for a moment. ¡°So, you are hiding here. Die.¡± The Ogre king raised his knee to kick Leo away; however, Leo was quick enough to dodge it by flying back. ¡°Haha¡­got you.¡± However, while Leo was still in mid-air, the Ogre king chuckled and threw a powerful punch at Leo. ¡°Damn it¡­I can¡¯t dodge it.¡± **** Three weekly BONUS CHAPTERS will be released soon. Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book for more bonus chapters. Chapter 114 Fighting the Ogre King ¡®Damn it¡­I can¡¯t dodge it.¡¯ The Ogre king¡¯s iing punch was so fast that Leo could not dodge it mid-air. ¡°You are going to die now.¡± The Ogre King was also sure that Leo could not dodge his punch and revealed a satisfied look. ¡°dimir, now.¡± However, the anxious look on Leo¡¯s face turned into a slight smile as he called the shadow vampire. In the next second, the shadow vampire came out of Leo¡¯s shadow with his two sharp teeth. He aimed to bite the Ogre king¡¯s neck, and dimir was confident that his sharp teeth would pierce through the Ogre king¡¯s skin. As a vampire, dimir¡¯s teeth could pierce through anything to suck the blood; however, just biting his enemy would not cause any damage to the enemy. Instead, it would harm the vampire because while drinking the blood from his enemy, a vampire¡¯s battle prowess would be greatly reduced. ¡°Huh? A shadow vampire? But, it¡¯s toote for you.¡± The Ogre King was surprised to see dimir; however, he didn¡¯t bother about it after sensing it was still a rank 8 monster and focused on Leo. He knew that a rank 8 shadow vampire could not kill him. So, the Ogre king decided to kill Leo before focusing on the other things.-. [Spectre] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, before the Ogre King¡¯s punch couldnd on Leo¡¯s body, his body became transparent like a ghost, making the Ogre King¡¯s punchnd on nothing but air. ¡®Puchi¡¯ On the other hand, dimir pierced his sharp teeth into the Ogre King¡¯s neck; however, he didn¡¯t drink the blood. ¡®Puchi¡¯ Instead, he bit a few more times in a few seconds, leaving bite marks around the Ogre King¡¯s neck. ¡°You blood sucking bat.¡± The Ogre King was already furious for not smashing Leo¡¯s skull, and dimir left one bite mark after another, making him even more furious. ¡°I will kill you first before killing that brat.¡± With a hoarse voice, the Ogre King shouted and tried to catch the shadow vampire. ¡°Not so soon.¡± [Earth Maniption] Leo was already on the ground, and his body was no longer in the ghost form. He used the level 9 earth maniption to remove the ground below the Ogre King¡¯s left leg while making the Ogre King lose his bnce. ¡°dimir, are you done?¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± Before the Ogre King could regain his bnce, the shadow vampire returned to Leo and replied, ¡°Now, everything lies in the master¡¯s hands.¡± After finishing his words, dimir didn¡¯t stay with Leo anymore; instead, he started killing the rank 7 and 8 monsters and the mutated beasts. As for the rank 9 monsters, even though he could kill them, it would take a lot of energy and time. Therefore, he wanted to kill as many rank 7 and 8 monsters and beasts as possible. ¡°You have done your part, it is my turn now.¡± Leo disappeared from his ce again with a slight smile, making the Ogre King frustrated. ¡­ ¡®What? That masked man is fighting a supreme grade monster.¡¯ ¡®He has [Space Maniption], [Earth Maniption] and [Fireball] talents.¡¯ ¡®What¡¯s more, he had tamed a monster.¡¯ ¡®Who is he exactly?¡¯ Leo¡¯s multiple talents and battle prowess shocked the family heads and squad leaders. ¡®Speaking of [Earth Maniption], where is Leo?¡¯ The powerful heroes could not help but think about Leo because, with the help of his [Mighty Combustion], Leo could cause a lot of damage to the monsters and the mutated beasts. Nevertheless, after not finding Leo in the crowd, they stopped thinking about him and focused on their fight. When he used [Earth Maniption] talent earlier, Leo was not worried his identity would be revealed because even though that talent is special, it was not as rare as other maniption talents. In Starlight city, more than three heroes had [Earth Maniption] talent. So, he used it without any fear of his identity being revealed. ¡­. In Mr. White¡¯s residence, ¡°Mr. White, is it really not you who stole the supreme grade eggs?¡± Theodore frowned when he saw Mr. White iming he had no idea about the supreme-grade eggs. ¡°I was busy reselling the ¡®Fragment of the God stone¡¯ that I got from Leo. So, I have no idea.¡± Mr. White shook his head. ¡°What the¡­.¡± Suddenly, Theodore and Mr. White heard the roars from a distance and understood the fight had already begun. As the supreme rank heroes, Theodore and Mr. White¡¯s senses became so sharp that they could hear and sense things even from a few kilometers. ¡°Mr. White, I need your help.¡± Without any hesitation, Theodore requested help from Mr. White. ¡°You know I will not give my services for free, right?¡± Mr. White revealed a slight smile and reminded Theodore about something. ¡°All you have to do is take care of a supreme grade monster ¡®Labyrinth Drake King¡¯ for three hours.¡± Theodore nodded, ¡°10 enved rank 9 monsters and beasts in return for your services.¡± ¡°Only for three hours?¡± Mr. White frowned when he heard that the city leader needed him to stall the supreme grade monster for three hours. ¡®Did he achieve a break through in his strength? With his current strength, he could not possibly kill a supreme grade monster in three hours.¡¯ Mr. White knew that there were currently three supreme-grade beings outside the city. Two monsters and one mutated beast. Even though Theodore was asking him to take care of the strongest one for three hours, he knew Theodore could not kill the other two supreme-grade beings in three hours. ¡®Unless, he had called the reinforcement.¡¯ After thinking for a few moments, Mr. White guessed why Theodore only wanted him to stall for three hours. ¡°Add another ten enved rank 8 monsters and beasts and I can bring a couple of rank 9 heroes with me.¡± Nevertheless, as long as he could get something for his services, Mr. White didn¡¯t bother much about other things. ¡°Deal.¡± The city leader Theodore agreed to Mr. White¡¯s words without thinking much. *** Three BONUS CHAPTERS will be released today. Until then send the GIFTS to motivate the author. Chapter 115 [Bonus chapter] Killing a Supreme-Ranked Monster ¡°You think you can kill me? Did you forget that I am a Supreme-grade being?¡± When the Ogre King heard Leo¡¯s words, he could not help but mock him. ¡°So what?¡± Leo revealed a slight smile and asked the Ogre King. ¡°No matter how many talents you have or how many monsters you have enved, you can¡¯t kill me because I am a Supreme-grade being and you are a rank 9 hero.¡± The Ogre King frowned when he saw the confident smile on Ajax¡¯s face; however, he remembered the gap between their strength. After taking the appearance of the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯, Leo didn¡¯t bother to hide his hero rank and showed his hero rank to everyone, which could even further the doubts of someone connecting finding out he was Leo. The strength difference between a rank 9 hero and a supreme rank monster seemed to be only one rank; however, the strength difference was vast. Even if 10 rank 9 heroes working together might be unable to kill a Supreme ranked hero, not to mention a supreme ranked monster which was much stronger than the supreme ranked heroes. ¡°This world¡¯s humans mostly have only one talent; however, we have multiple talents. Therefore, even if you be the supreme hero, you can¡¯t kill us.¡± The Ogre King was furious at Leo; however, he wanted to see Leo bing hopeless. ¡°Haha¡±-. If it were other rank 9 heroes standing in front of the Ogre King, they would either escape or give up on their lives; however, the Ogre King¡¯s opponent was not some random rank 9 hero. Instead, it was Leo who had already sealed the fate of the Ogre King before starting the fight. Therefore, in response to Ogre King¡¯s words, Leo was still able tough and said, ¡°But it is not my first time killing a Supreme-Grade monster.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ The Ogre King frowned when he heard Leo¡¯s words; however, before he could do anything, he felt the ground below shake a little. [Earth Maniption] Like before, Leo used his talent to uneven the ground below the Ogre King¡¯s feet, making him lose his bnce because of his huge body. [Space Manipuation] In the next second, Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared mid-air above the Ogre King¡¯s head. ¡°You will be the second Supreme-grade monster I kill.¡± [War God¡¯s Sword- Absolute Pierce] Using the momentum from his fall, Leo activated the sword¡¯s skill and pierced through the Ogre King¡¯s neck, where dimir left a dozen bite marks. ¡®What?¡¯ The Ogre King still didn¡¯t regain his bnce and saw that Leo was aiming at his neck. ¡®You think you can pra¡­.wait a second¡­.¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ At first, the Ogre King felt Leo¡¯s attack would be useless against him; however, when he remembered the bite marks left by the shadow vampire, the Ogre King became anxious. However, it was toote for him to stop Leo as Leo¡¯s sword had already pierced into his body through the neck. The one-meter sword waspletely pierced into the Ogre King¡¯s body with the help of the sword¡¯s skill [Absoulte Pierce]. No one could survive after getting pierced by a sword in such a manner; even the supreme-ranked monster was not an exception. ¡®Thud¡¯ With a shocked look, the Ogre King¡¯s 10-meter body fell to the ground. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®H-he killed a Supreme-ranked monster just like that?¡¯ ¡®Who is he? How can he kill a Supreme-ranked monster with a rank 9 hero strength.¡¯ ¡®Wait a second¡­did he just say it was his second supreme-ranked monster that he killed? That means, he had already killed a supreme-ranked monster before. No wonder, he was fearless in fighting against the ¡® Everyone, including the family heads, squad leaders and city guards, was surprised when they saw the huge Ogre King¡¯s body fall to the ground. ¡°H-he got killed? Drake, it looks like you intituation about that brat was correct.¡± It was the same for the monsters and the mutated beasts, as they were all shocked by the death of their supreme-ranked monster. ¡°We can¡¯t let that brat live. If he bes a supreme hero, our ns to take over this world would be futile.¡± Suppressing his shock, the Drake King said, ¡°Let¡¯s kill him together.¡± Even if other surprise-grade beings see them fighting a rank 9 hero together, they would be mocked; however, the Drake King was not the type to care about those things. ¡®Once we be the rulers of this world, then who would dare tough at us?¡¯ With this thought in mind, the Drake King and the yer Wyvern King rushed toward Leo. ¡­. ¡®Phew¡­finally I killed my second supreme-ranked being.¡¯ On the other hand, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the Ogre King¡¯s corpse. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-grade being and received one [Supreme promote point]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a second supreme-ranked being. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with one ¡®Advanced Talent Upgrade Crystal¡¯ and one random talent from the Ogre King¡¯s skills. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was already expecting the system to send a notification regarding the Ogre King¡¯s death. However, when he saw the reward for killing the supreme-ranked being, he was shocked because he was not expecting the system to reward him with new talent. ¡®I only got an advanced talent upgrading crystal when I killed my first surpeme-ranked monster. This time, not only did I get the ¡®Advanced Talent Upgrade Crystal¡¯ but I also received a second reward that was much better than the first reward.¡¯ Leo silently thought while looking at the Ogre King¡¯s corpse. ¡®Also, if I use [Absolute Devour] and consume his body, the chances of awakening one of his skills are also very high, right?¡¯ Since the Ogre King was a supreme-ranked monster, much stronger than the rank 9 monsters, Leo felt he might awaken a new skill if he consumed the corpse. ¡®Ding, An Advanced Talent Upgrade Crystal is stored in the host¡¯s storage ring. ¡®Ding, New talent is added to the host¡¯s talent list. Please check the user interface talent for more information.

Chapter 116 [Bonus Chapter] Heavens Recovery and Dual Weapons Expert ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Die¡¯ However, Leo could check his new talent, and the two supreme-ranked beings rushed at him. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry to fight me, a lowly rank 9 hero?¡± Leo scoffed at them and said, ¡°I need a break. See you soon.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo entered his secret dimension to hide from the supreme-ranked beings as soon as he finished his words. No matter how many talents and skills Leo has, he could not fight a supreme-ranked being head to head, not to mention that currently, two of them were rushing at him. Hence, he didn¡¯t hesitate to hide and recover for a while. At the same time, Leo thought he could devise a n to deal with two supreme-grade beings. ¡°Where did he go?¡± ¡°We have to kill him today at any cost.¡± The Wyvern King and the Drake King roared at his subordinates to find the human who killed the Ogre King. [Ice Feathers] [Snow Storm]-. [Lightning Strike] [Acid Rain] . . . After the sudden death of the Ogre King, all the Ogres following his orders lost their battle morale. Using this opportunity, all the rank 8 heroes used their powerful talents to clear the entire Ogre army within a few seconds. [Heaven¡¯s recovery] After using their full-powered talents in a single go, all the rank 9 heroes became tired; however, Freya, the vice leader of the Graceful Swans, used her level 9 talent. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Because of her talent, the entire sky brightened as small light particles fell on everyone, and two things happened. One, if those light particles fell on the humans, they recovered their injuries, and the energy they spent on using their talents was recovered. Two, if those light particles fell on the monsters and the mutated beasts, their tough skins burned a little and temporarily slowed them. ¡®What kind of talent is this? I think I should just hide for now.¡¯ Since dimir was also a monster and only a rank 8, he was affected by Freya¡¯s talent. So, without hesitation, he jumped into one of the shadows nearby and disappeared without a trace. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go for the second round.¡± Soon, all the heroes reached their peak condition and rushed to kill more monsters and the mutated beasts. ¡°Let¡¯s kill these annoying pests before hunting him down.¡± However, in the next second, the Wyvern King and the Drake King changed their thoughts and decided to kill the rank 9 humans, causing massive damage. Even though they knew killing Leo was important for their future ns, they needed their subordinates because the supreme-ranked beingspete with the number of subordinates they have. The stronger subordinates a supreme-ranked being has, their authority would be stronger. Therefore, they wanted to kill the rank 9 heroes killing their subordinates. ¡°Everyone, focus on killing the healer.¡± Inrge-scale battles, the healers should be killed first; otherwise, their opponents would recover from their injuries. So, they focused on attacking Frey. ¡°Do you think you can touch my vice leader?¡± Nevertheless, the squad leader of the ¡®Graceful Swans¡¯ stood in front of Frey with two long swords in her hands, two battle axes on her back and two daggers on the belt around her waist. She was like a war goddess who started killing all the monsters and the mutated beastsing at them. She changed the weapons from swords to battle-axes to daggers and swords, killing the iing monster with an excited smile on her face. ¡®Squad leader is very strong.¡¯ Julia, the new recruit of the ¡®Graceful Swans¡¯ was shocked by her battle performance of Valerie and instantly became her fan. ¡­.. In the secret dimension, ¡®System, you still didn¡¯t answer my question. Why did I get talent when I killed the Ogre King and not for the first supreme-ranked monster?¡¯ After entering the secret dimension, Leo asked the system why he was rewarded more than when he first killed the supreme-ranked monster. ¡®Ding, Since the host has upgraded the system, the rewards he received naturally increased. ¡®So, it was because of the system upgrade.¡¯ Leo nodded and asked, ¡°Also, what is this [Supreme promote point]? Is it used to upgrade the supreme-ranked talents?¡± Instead of getting [Promote points], Leo received a [Supreme promote point], making him a little curious; however, from the name, Leo guessed its usage. Nevertheless, he was unsure about it as it was just a guess. ¡®Ding, The host guessed right. It can be used to upgrade the supreme-ranked talents. The host¡¯s talent [Talent Promoter] collected a single [Supreme promote point] from the Ogre King¡¯s body. ¡®Good.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and thought, ¡®Even though I am yet to upgrade my talents to the Supreme-rank and I also don¡¯t know how many [Supreme promote points] I need to upgrade them, it is better to collect as many [Supreme promote points] as possible before bing a Supreme hero.¡¯ The special talent surprised him that he could upgrade his talents even after bing the supreme hero. ¡®Anyway, it will take some time for me to be a supreme hero. So, let¡¯s not think much about it and focus on the current situation.¡¯ Leo pushed his thoughts about the future and finally opened the user interface to check the new talent he got from the Ogre King. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Battle-axe mastery (Level 1). Talent Type: Passive. Effects: 1) When the user holds a battle-axe, his strength and defence increase by 10 percent. 2) The damage dealt by the battle-axe will be increased by 10 percent. Soon, the information about his new talent appeared before him, making him clench his fist in excitement. ¡®Who would have thought I would receive a passive talent?¡¯ Leo¡¯s entire focus was on the ¡®Talent type¡¯ because the passive talents were very rare to awaken. Therefore, even with his [Talent Swallowing Abilty] or [Absolute Devour], it was almost impossible to awaken them because if fewer heroes awakened, it would automatically reduce his chances of stealing the passive talents. After all, only a few lucky heroes could awaken them. ¡®Let¡¯s see how much the effects of the talent will change if I upgrade to level 4.¡¯ Without hesitation, Leo added his new talent to the [Talent Promoter] and upgraded it to level 4 using [Promote points]. ¡®T-this is¡­¡¯ Leo could not help but rub his eyes looking at the information on the holographic screen. **** Want more Bonus Chapters?

In this category, there are only two types: 1) Active talents: The user has to activate the talent to use it when required by them. 2) Passive talents: The user doesn¡¯t have to think or be conscious, but the talents will be automatically triggered. So, when Leo saw that the [Battle-axe mastery] was a passive talent, he was simultaneously shocked and excited. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Battle-axe mastery (Level 4). Talent Type: Passive. Effects: 1) When the user holds a battle-axe, his strength and defence increase by 100 percent. 2) The damage dealt by the battle-axe will be increased by 100 percent. For Leo, it only took 13000 [Promote points] to upgrade his new talent to level 4, and he was surprised with such a huge increase in the effects of the talent. ¡®It increased by 10 times already and I wonder how much the effects will increase when I upgrade it to level 9.¡¯-. After seeing the upgraded effects of his new talent, Leo muttered, ¡®No wonder, the Ogre King¡¯s has such a huge defence.¡¯ He knew the only reason he could pierce through the Ogre King¡¯s neck was the Shadow Vampire¡¯s help. If he tried to directly pierce it, even with the [Absolute Pierce], it would have been impossible for him to kill the Ogre King. ¡®Ding, Reminder: Consume the Supreme-ranked monster¡¯s corpse using [Absolute Devour] as soon as possible to get a high chance of awakening a skill. Soon, the system reminded him about the Ogre king¡¯s corpse. ¡°Right! I am hoping to awaken a skill.¡± Leo felt he would awaken a skill for sure because of the Ogre King¡¯s strength when he was alive. [Absolute Devour] Since the system informed him that the more he dyed devouring the corpse, the lower his chances of awakening a skill. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste any more and summoned the devil¡¯s mouth to devour a 10-meter corpse. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Slurp¡¯ It took nearly 10 minutes for the devil¡¯s mouth to finish eating the corpse. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a supreme-ranked monster. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new skill. Please check your user interface to learn about the skill. ¡®Excellent. I knew it.¡¯ Leo could not help but be excited when he had awakened a new skill. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Fire w] has upgraded to level 8. The host does not meet the upgrade requirements for level 9. The experience points will be directed to the other skills or talents. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Spectre] has upgraded to level 8, and the host does not meet the upgrade requirements for level 9. The experience points will be directed to the other skills or talents. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Fire Healing] upgraded to level 7. However, before Leo could check his new skill, a series of system notifications rang in his head, giving him back-to-back surprises. ¡®What? The experience points from devouring a Supreme-ranked monster is¡­a little too much, right?¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t know the upgrade requirements to upgrade his skills to level 9, he was pleasantly surprised that two of his level 7 skills had reached level 8, and another level 4 talent was upgraded to level 7. ¡®Looks like I just need to kill and consume the supreme-ranked beings to upgrade all my low-level skills and talents.¡¯ Leo could not help but joke about upgrading his skills and talents.¡¯ At the same time, he looked at the two Supreme-ranked beings from his secret dimension and thought, ¡®If I can kill them two, I might get two more new talents and two more new skills.¡¯ As a human, Leo was not an exception as he also became a little greedy. In his eyes, the supreme-grade beings had be a ¡®Talent farm¡¯ where he could reap talents and skills just by killing and devouring them. ¡®Looks like the City leader had made a deal with Mr. White.¡¯ Looking at two supreme-ranked heroes fighting the two supreme-ranked beings, Leo silently muttered to himself and thought, ¡®I wonder what he offered to receive Mr. White¡¯s services.¡¯ Since he knew what kind of organization the ¡®ck Suits¡¯ were, Leo could tell that the city leader was offering something good for Mr. White¡¯s services. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s check what skill I got from the Ogre King.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo stopped thinking about other things and checked the new skill. ¡®Ding, Skill name: Battle roar (Level 1) Effect: When the user activates the skill, the morale of his subordinates will increase. ¡®That¡¯s it?¡¯ Leo was expecting some powerful skill; however, after reading the effect, he was slightly disappointed. ¡®It¡¯s not a bad skill when I fight with subordinates; however, I hope there will be some changes in its effect when I upgrade it in the future.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo hoped that as long as the effect of the skill increases in the future, it will be a powerful skill. ¡®System, what are the requirements for upgrading a level 8 skill or talent into level 9?¡¯ Soon, Leo asked the question that stopped upgrading his skills to level 9 earlier. ¡®Ding, Unlike the other talents, the skills or talents gained from [Absolute Devour] need to be used 100 times along with the experience points that came from devouring. ¡®Huh? So there are two requirements.¡¯ Leo nodded and asked, ¡®But, using 100 times is a little bit too much, right?¡¯ ¡®Ding, On average, a regr hero needs to use his level 8 talent ten thousand times to gain enough experience points to upgrade it to level 9. ¡®Okay, let¡¯s not talk about it.¡¯ As soon as he saw the words ¡®Ten thousand times¡¯, Leo didn¡¯t say anything about it because the system was right. Even after using a level 8 talent ten thousand times, there was no guarantee that it would be upgraded to level 9. Hence, he asked another question that¡¯s been bugging him for a few days. ¡®System, recently, I am not getting tired even after using my talents repeatedly. Is it also because of the system upgrade?¡¯ **** Want more Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 118 Hidden Effects of [Absolute Devour] Previously, Leo could use all his talentsbined 100 times before his forbidden curse got triggered, and he became weakened for a few hours. However, these days, he was not feeling tired, even after using all his talentsbined 100 times in a single go. So, he asked whether it was also rted to the system upgrade. ¡®Ding, Upgrading the system will not upgrade the host¡¯s body, and it is because the host has been devouring a lot of monsters, mutated beasts and humans with the talent [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Ding, It is not only giving you the experience points to upgrade the talents and skills, but it is also strengthening the host¡¯s body little by little along with replenishing the host¡¯s energy to use the talents. ¡®What? Does that mean as long as I devour the beings using [Absolure Devour], I can use the talents unlimited times without worrying about exhaustion?¡¯ Leo was surprised and felt it was logical and asked the system. ¡®Ding, For now, it¡¯s not possible. Upgrading the [Absolute Devour] to supreme level might give you an unlimited supply of energy to use your talents.-. ¡®I hope for that day as well.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and nodded. Without sufficient energy to use the talents, it was useless to have countless talents. Moreover, Leo still has the ve mark, making it harder to know the true potential of how many times he could use his talents. ¡®It had already be level 6 and very close to level 7 after I devoured the Ogre King. I need to kill more and more supreme-ranked monsters and mutated beasts to get an overall boost in my strength.¡¯ Leo looked out of his secret dimension and eyed the two supreme-ranked beings fighting Theodore and Mr. White. ¡®It is time to join the fight.¡¯ Leo waited for a few moments and devised a n before walking out of the secret dimension. ¡°City Leader Theodore, do you want me to help you with that yer Wyvern King?¡± As soon as he came out of his secret dimension, Leo asked Theodore loudly. ¡°Huh?¡± After returning from the city, Theodore joined the fight and started fighting the yer Wyvern King. In contrast, Mr. White and a group of rank 9 heroes from his organisation were fighting the strongest supreme-ranked monster among the three, the Labyrinth Drake King. When Theodore heard Leo¡¯s words, he frowned and turned his head to look at Leo, who was covering his face with a blood-coloured mask and wearing ck-coloured designer attire. ¡°Y-you¡­.are the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯?¡± Theodore was unsure about it; however, he unconsciously asked Leo whether he was the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯. Even though Theodore had not seen the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯, he had heard a lot of stories about him, and of course, he also heard about the special attire and a blood-coloured mask. Earlier, when he returned from the city, he learned a rank 9 hero had killed a supreme-ranked monster, the Ogre King. Unconsciously he thought of the talent-swallowing hero who killed a supreme-ranked monster with rank 9 strength. However, when he saw some with the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s appearance, he was sure that it was Talent Swallowing Hero who killed the Ogre King. ¡°It looks like the city leader Theodore has morework than I thought. I am honoured that you know about me.¡± Leo scoffed at Theodore behind his mask; however, his words sounded devoid of emotions. ¡°The honour is mine for such a powerful hero toe to my city. Please help me stop this invasion.¡± City Leader Theodore requested Leo¡¯s help without any hesitation. Even though he and the yer Wyvern King are of the same rank, the yer Wyvern King had the absolute advantage over Theodore with multiple skills. Among those skills, some passive skills like ¡®Tough skin¡¯, ¡®Dragon Scales¡¯, ¡®Minor Healing¡¯, and other active attack-type skills, making Theodore barely stop the Wyvern King. Hence, Theodore didn¡¯t mind the help of the famous ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯, who had already killed two Supreme-ranked monsters. ¡®With his help, I don¡¯t need to stall until the arrival of the supreme-ranked hero that master has sent.¡¯ Theodore silently thought and started fighting the yer Wyvern King with Leo. ¡­ ¡®Huh? Talent Swallowing Hero?¡¯ ¡®Does that mean he can swallow his talents?¡¯ ¡®It looks like the city leader knows him. Moreover, he looked polite when talking to that masked man.¡¯ Even though they were fighting, the human heroes heard the simple conversation between the masked man and the city leader, making them even more curious about the masked man¡¯s identity. ¡­ ¡®What? That b*stard has finallye out of his hiding?¡¯ On the other hand, Mr. White looked at Leo and muttered to himself. ¡®It looks like he didn¡¯t know that my organization had spread to this corner already. I need to use this opportunity to capture that b*stard and im the reward for myself.¡¯ While fighting the Drake King with his subordinates, Mr. White started nning on how to capture the talent-swallowing hero alive. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t rush to capture Leo because he needed to maintain his identity as the ¡®Hero helper¡¯. So, he could not capture a hero in front of everyone as it would spoil his other ns. ¡®It looks like he needs something from the City leader; otherwise, he would not be helping him. I will make my move when he is alone with the city leader.¡¯ ¡­ ¡®Since it is always in the air, my [Earth Maniption] is useless against it.¡¯ As for Leo, he had already expected the consequences of revealing his identity as ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯. So, he didn¡¯t think much about what Mr. White was nning in his head. Instead, he was nning on killing the yer Wyvern King. Leo and the City leader fought with the yer Wyvern King for a few rounds, and Leo learned one thing: The body of the Wyvern King was much tougher than he thought. ¡®Wait a second¡­I can use my new talent.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo revealed a slight smile under his mask as he thought of using his new talent. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

Chapter 119 [Wind Manipulation-Razor Windstorm] ¡°City leader, I have a n to kill it; however, for that, I need you to use your full-powered attack on its neck.¡± As soon as Leo came up with a new n to kill the Wyvern King, he asked the city leader. ¡°But, after that, I can¡¯t fight for another five minutes.¡± The city leader frowned when he heard Leo¡¯s words. Even though he was working with the talent-swallowing hero, it doesn¡¯t mean he would blindly follow whatever that hero asked him to do. Moreover, he knew that the Talent Swallowing Hero could really swallow the other heroes¡¯ talents, and he always had a thing for special talents. Therefore, the city leader feared that the Talent Swallowing Hero was targeting him for his special talent. For this reason, the secret organizations and the other city leaders were searching for him to learn more about his ability. However, whenever the talent-swallowing hero sensed any danger or even captured someone, he would escape somehow. ¡°As you must have noticed, the Wyvern King is always avoiding our attacks when we aim at its neck. As long as you can use your special talent to slightly open a cut on its neck, I will take care of it.¡± Leo had already expected the city leader to reject his n; however, he didn¡¯t give up and continued to persuade him, ¡°With my strength, I can¡¯t make an injury on it because of its tough scales. As long as you rest for five minutes, you can recover your energy. Also, you don¡¯t have to give me any reward for helping you, all I need is the corpse of this yer Wyvern King.¡±-. Leo tried exining to the city leader in different ways while they fought the Wyvern King. However, they were unable to make any injuries to it. Even though Theodore could make an injury on it if he used his full-powered attack, it would make him temporarily weak for one or two minutes. However, he feared he might be killed for his special talent by the Talent Swallowing Hero within that one or two minutes. Even if the Talent Swallowing Hero did not kill him, he was worried about the family heads or even Mr. White might kill him to be the next city leader of Phirie city. ¡°Fine. I will do it.¡± Theodore was frustrated that even when they werebined, they could not make any injuries to the Wyvern King. So, he decided to go with Leo¡¯s n and asked, ¡°What are your chances of killing it if I injure it with my full powered talent?¡± ¡°100 percent.¡± Leo replied in a confident tone and added, ¡°Once we kill this supreme-ranked mutated beast, killing the final supreme-ranked monster will not be a problem and this invasion wille to an end soon after.¡± Even though Theodore was not worried much about the lives of the city residents, he wanted the invasion to end as soon as possible because if the city walls were damaged, he needed to spend a lot of money and resources to repair them. ¡°Are you sure about the percentage?¡± The city leader frowned when he heard Leo¡¯s words and asked. ¡°You will see soon. Just use your full powered attack usig your talent.¡± Leo maintained his emotionless voice and replied to the city leader. ¡°I hope you are not wrong.¡± As soon as he finished his words, the city leader floated in the mid-air and a small wind tornado formed beneath his feet. [Wind Maniption- Razor Windstorm] Soon, Theodore made some hand signs and pointed at the Wyvern King flying in front of him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the small tornado beneath his feet moved towards the Wyvern King, and along the way, the tornado started growing in size and reached 10 meters in height in no time. It didn¡¯t stop there, and its size continued to grow. If one observed closely, they could notice sharp wind des inside that growing windstorm trying to swallow the Wyvern King into it. ¡®Roar¡¯ The Wyvern King roared at the windstorm that was trying to swallow it and tried to move away from it; however, it was toote for the mutated beast as the windstorm had already swallowed it. ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ Soon, various loud sounds came from the windstorm, most of which were metallic sounds which were obviously the wind razors clinking with the dragon scales on the Wyvern King¡¯s body. ¡­ ¡®Woah¡¯ ¡®As expected of city leader. His talent [Wind Maniption] is so powerful.¡¯ ¡®No wonder, he became the city leader of Phirie city.¡¯ ¡®I want to be as powerful as him.¡¯ ¡®The rank 9 and rank 8 mutated beasts are getting instantly killed after being swallowed into the windstorm. Only the Wyvern King was still alive inside the windstorm.¡¯ Looking at the huge windstorm that swallowed the Wyvern King, all the young heroes from Phirie city could not help but awe at Theodore¡¯s powerful attack. However, from the roars, everyone could tell that the windstorm could not kill the Wyvern King. ¡°Everyone, focus on your fight. The city leader and Mr. White will take care of the supreme-ranked beings. As for us, let¡¯s kill these rank 7 to rank 9 monsters and mutated beasts.¡± The rank 9 city guards shouted at the young heroes, distracted by the city leader¡¯s powerful move. ¡°Yes, sirs.¡± The young heroes shook their heads and focused on their fights. ¡­ ¡°Roar¡± After struggling inside the windstorm for a while, the Wyvern King released a heaven-defying roar and destroyed the windstorm with its powerful wing skill. ¡°I can¡¯t fight for another five minutes. Now, take care of it.¡± The city leader hurriedly moved away from that location under the protection of five rank 9 city guards, leaving the Wyvern King to Leo. ¡®What a b*stard? He intentionally cancelled the attack in half time to recover back his strength in less than a minute.¡¯ Leo scoffed at the city leader and looked at the angry Wyvern King. ¡®Nevertheless, he made a small cut on its neck which was enough for me to execute my n.¡¯ Behind the mask, Leo revealed a cold smile and muttered, ¡®It¡¯s finally time to reveal my new talent and a new weapon.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters?

Chapter 120 Summoning a Quasi-Supreme Rank Weapon The weakness of most of the monsters and the mutated beasts that Leo hunted in the past was their necks. Leo was even more confident that the Wyvern King¡¯s weakness was also its neck. Earlier, when Leo and the city leader attacked the Wyvern King, it avoided its neck area, giving him confidence in his belief. ¡®War god¡¯s battle-axe,e out.¡¯ As soon as the city leader left, Leo didn¡¯t waste any more time and summoned the huge battle-axe he got from the [Gold] section of the [Treasure Room]. The long handle of the battle-axe was pitch ck, and the size of the de mounted on that handle was as big as a football. ¡®Ding, The partial soul inside the war god¡¯s battle-axe detected the host¡¯s [Battle-axe¡¯s mastery]. ¡®Ding, However, it is still unwilling to acknowledge the host as its master. Since Leo¡¯s talent, the [Battle-axe¡¯s mastery] was a passive talent, he didn¡¯t need to activate it, and because of that, the partial soul of the battle-axe even detected his talent. ¡®Huh? Not willing to ept me as its master?¡¯ ording to the information on the war god¡¯s battle-axe, Leo knew he had to get the acknowledgement from the partial soul inside the battle-axe to use it. However, he was slightly surprised that it was still unwilling to ept him even though he had a level 4 talent [Battle-axe¡¯s mastery]. ¡®Roar¡¯ The angry roar of the Wyvern King resounded as it flew towards him with its mouth wide open.-. ¡®Then I don¡¯t have any choice but to bribe the weapon.¡¯ Leo had a backup in case the weapon didn¡¯t ept him as its master. So, he casually teleported himself a few kilometers away from the Wyvern King and started using his backup n. ¡°I am here.¡± Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t forget to gain the Wyvern King¡¯s attention before using his backup n. ¡°If you ept me as your master, I will fully awaken your soul.¡± Since the weapon has awakened its partial soul, Leo tried to bribe it with a promise. ¡®Ding, The battle-axe fell into a dilemma and wondered whether it should ept the offer. ¡®Ding, However, the battle-axe could not trust the host because it remembers the host¡¯s words, ¡®I am known for breaking the promises¡¯. ¡®Ding, The battle-axe decided not to ept the host as its master. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, informing the thoughts of the partial soul inside the battle-axe. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was speechless, looking at those system notifications before asking the system, ¡®What the hell? It can hear my words even when it is inside the storage ring?¡¯ ¡®Ding, Of course. Even the host¡¯s sword ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯, which only awakened consciousness, can hear everything happening around the host, not to mention a partial soul of a powerful weapon. ¡®Fine¡­if the carrot method didn¡¯t work, then I can only use the stick.¡¯ Even though it was not what he had expected, Leo came up with another method to make the battle-axe ept him as its master. ¡°If you don¡¯t ept me as your master, I will make sure you rot inside my storage ring and you will not get to taste a single drop of blood until I die.¡± If he wanted someone to acknowledge him as the master, he knew what he had to do. So, even when the bribing didn¡¯t work, he was sure that threatening would work. For him, this war god¡¯s battle-axe was very important to kill the Wyvern King because it is a Quasi-supreme rank weapon with multiple weapon skills. Even though a normal Quasi-supreme rank weapon might not be able to kill a supreme-ranked mutated beast; however, it had a special effect and multiple weapon skills. ¡®Moreover, even the effects of my passive talent [Battle-axe¡¯s mastery] will increase the damage output to the next level.¡¯ Because of all these reasons, Leo was adamant about getting the acknowledgement from the war god¡¯s battle-axe. ¡®Ding, The battle-axe gets scared by the host¡¯s words and silently curses him. ¡®Huh? Cursing me?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw the system notification; however, in the next second, another system notification appeared that made him reveal a satisfied smile. ¡®Ding, The battle-axe acknowledges the host as its master and hopes that he will keep his promise of awakening its soul fully. ¡°Even though I am known for breaking my promises, I will never break the promises given to my friends and family. So, don¡¯t worry about the promise.¡± Leo once again promised the battle-axe before looking at the Wyvern King that had almost reached him. ¡°B*stard, fight me like a man. Don¡¯t hide or escape.¡± The Wyvern King was furious as it asked Leo to fight properly. ¡°Since you want a fair fight, let¡¯s go.¡± After tasting the rewards of killing the Ogre King, Leo was eager to kill another supreme-ranked being. Moreover, there was a minor injury on the Wyvern King¡¯s neck, and he also got the acknowledgement from the battle-axe. Therefore, Leo was no longer nning to hide or run away from the Wyvern King. ¡°Let¡¯s fight.¡± Leo didn¡¯t go for the kill directly; instead, he was getting used to his new weapon and new talent. ¡­. ¡°City leader, that man has a quasi-supreme rank weapon.¡± ¡°Also, it looks more powerful than the quasi-supreme rank weapon the city leader has.¡± ¡°Shall we retrieve it?¡± The city leader and his five loyal city guards were shocked when they saw the huge battle-axe in Leo¡¯s hands. ¡°I already expected him to have a powerful quasi-supreme rank weapon; however, it looks more powerful than I thought.¡± The city leader nodded and agreed with the city guards; however, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s not mess with him for now. Someone once told me a few lines about him. If you can¡¯t kill him in a single attack, then it¡¯s better youmit suicide because once you fall into his hands, even if you want to die, you can¡¯t die. So, do you think you can kill him in a single attack?¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ All the city guards remained silent and didn¡¯t say anything. They felt whoever said those lines about the Talent Swallowing Hero was exaggerating about him; however, they didn¡¯t dare to talk back to their city leader. ¡°However, if Mr. White and I act together, then we can capture him dead or alive.¡± Soon, an evil smile appeared on the city leader¡¯s face as he looked at Leo for a moment before looking at Mr. White. ¡°Will Mr. White help you, city leader?¡± One of the city guards asked Theodore. ¡°From what I noticed, Mr. White was observing that ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯ every now and then. I am very sure he might be nning to capture him alive to sell him off to those city leaders who ced the bounty on him.¡± The city leader stood up and continued, ¡°I think we cane to an understanding in capturing him alive.¡± ¡­. ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Human, do you think you can kill me just because you have a Quasi-supreme rank weapon?¡± Leo didn¡¯t know that even the city leader was nning to join Mr. White in capturing him alive or dead. The Wyvern King mocked him when the huge battle-axe was only leaving scratches on its scales. ¡°Thanks for training with him. I can kill you now.¡± [Sapce Maniption] In the next second, Leo disappeared from his ce before appearing above Wyvern King and using the momentum from the fall; he aimed at the injury on the Wyvern King¡¯s neck left by the city leader. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

Therefore, he was confident in killing the yer Wyvern King in a single strike with the help of the War God¡¯s Battle Axe. Leo was confident that he could kill the Wyvern King just because he had a quasi supreme ranked weapon. Instead, it was because of the effects he had stacked just by holding the battle-axe. [Weapon Effect: 100 percent increase in strength, agility, stamina, and constitution of the holder] [Weapon Skill: Ultimate Cleaver, a skill that can ignore the enemies defense and increase the damage output in a single area] [Talent Effect: The strength of the holder and the damage dealt with the enemies will be increased by 100 percent] When these three effects werebined, Leo could feel his body brimming with strength, and his confidence rose to the point where he could quickly kill the Wyvern King. ¡°Aargh¡­Die.¡± Leo shouted loudly and struck the area where the city leader had left a small cut on the Wyvern King¡¯s neck.-. ¡®Roar¡¯ The Wyvern King was expecting Leo to teleport to some other corner. Therefore, it was toote for the mutated beast to do something as it could only roar in anxiety. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Before it could even finish its roar, the war god¡¯s battle axe had alreadynded on the Wyvern King¡¯s neck, and without much surprise, the Wyvern King¡¯s head and body got separated as it fell to the ground with a loud ¡®Thud¡¯. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®He killed the Wyvern King just lik that?¡¯ ¡®Is it because of the Quasi supreme ranked weapon?¡¯ ¡®I want a weapon like that.¡¯ ¡®Even the city leader was struggling against it. Does that mean he is stronger than our city leader?¡¯ Even though the human heroes were already shocked by the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s battle prowess, it still raised a shock when they saw how easily he killed the Wyvern King that even the city leader could not kill. ¡°I want that weapon at any cost.¡± On the other hand, the city leader looked at the huge battle-axe in Leo¡¯s hands and said with great determination. ¡°City leader, we are ready to do anything you order us to do.¡± The five loyal city guards hurriedly replied to the city leader while looking at the battle-axe. It was evident that no matter how strong Leo was, a rank 9 hero couldn¡¯t kill a supreme-ranked mutated beast. Since the city leader didn¡¯t see how Leo killed the Ogre King, he concluded that the only reason the Talent Swallowing Hero could kill the three Supreme-ranked beings was because of the Quasi-supreme ranked weapon. Therefore, Theodore had already started nning on how to take that weapon from the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡®I have to be careful and kill him in a single strike to get the weapon and bounty on his head.¡¯ Talent Swallowing Hero was not only known for killing the Supreme-ranked beings, but he was also known for great escaping skills. Hence, the city leader devised a perfect n to kill him in a single strike. ¡®It looks like he became even more powerful than the information I have about him.¡¯ Mr. White frowned, looking at the battle-axe because ording to the information gathered by his organization on ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯, he was only a sword user, but there was nothing about the battle-axe. ¡®Judging by Theodore¡¯s greed, he will definitely join hands with me.¡¯ Nevertheless, that doesn¡¯t mean Mr. White would give up on Leo. Instead, he looked at the city leader and revealed a slight smile because he was very sure that Theodore would join him in either capturing or killing the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡­ ¡®Ding, The host has killed a level 1 Supreme-ranked mutated beast, the yer Wyvern King. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with new talent from one of the Wyvern King¡¯s skills and an Advanced talent upgrade crystal. ¡®Ding, Since the host has killed three Supreme-ranked beings, he will be awarded a new title, ¡®Supreme Killer¡¯. Please check more information regarding the new title in the [User Interface]. As for Leo, he was excited to see the series of system notifications. ¡®As I expected, killing the supreme-ranked beings will direclty give me a talent.¡¯ Leo was excited because his assumption had been cleared, and he was sure he would receive a talent as long as he killed a supreme-ranked being. ¡®Not only that, I even received a new title.¡¯ It was his second title, and the first title [Devil Smasher] gave him a little advantage over the Devil race. Moreover, the title name [Supreme killer] intrigued his attention. Hence, he checked the effect of the title first before checking his new talent. ¡®Ding, Consume the corpse of the yer Wyvern as soon as possible to increase the chance of awakening one of its skills. However, before he could open the [User Interface], the system reminded him of the corpse of the yer Wyvern King. ¡®That¡¯s right! My title is not running anywhere. I can first devour the corpse and check the effects of the new talent and title.¡¯ Leo knew the chances of awakening a skill would be high if he devoured the mutated beast or monster as soon as possible after killing it. ¡®Secret dimension space¡¯ With a thought, a portal appeared, and Leo dragged the corpse and the Wyvern King¡¯s head into the secret dimension space. As for the fight between the humans and the monster/ beast horde, Leo didn¡¯t care much about it. Because he was sure that with only a single supreme-ranked monster left on the battleground, the monsters/ mutated beasts couldn¡¯t break into the city. [Absolute Devour] Soon, he started devouring the huge corpse of the Wyvern King with the help of his [Absloute Devour] talent. ¡®Ding, The host has used the [Absolute Devour] to consume the Wyvern King¡¯s corpse and sessfully awakened a new skill.

Effect: A transparent wyvern w will be materialized on the user¡¯s hand with a small chance ofpletely ignoring the enemy¡¯s defence. Note: This skill is useless against the dragon-type mutated beasts, monsters, and beings with dragon bloodline. ¡®It can ignore the enemy¡¯s defencepletely?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see the effect of the skill. Even though the chances were very low, he knew the chances would increase by upgrading the level of the skill. ¡®As for the ¡®Note¡¯, there is no need to worry much about it.¡¯ Dragons were very rare, to begin with; awakening a dragon bloodline was already an achievement, not to mention awakening a Dragon-type bloodline. Therefore, Leo was not worried much about it and checked his new talent.-. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Wyvern Wings (level 1). Effect: Upon using this talent, two temporary transparent wyvern wings will appear on the user¡¯s back, giving him the flying ability for 10 minutes. ¡®I have been wanting to swallow a talent that gives me flying ability. Now, I don¡¯t have to wait anymore.¡¯ Even though the new talent didn¡¯t give him any battle prowess, it was a useful talent for travelling and even fighting against the enemies with flying-type talent. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ Without hesitation, he upgraded his new talent to level 4 using his [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The host used 13000 [Promote points] and upgraded the [Wyvern Wings] to level 4. ¡®Ding, The host can maintain the wyvern wings for an hour; instead of 10 minutes. ¡®Good. Now, I only need four more talents, and I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 4.¡¯ ording to the upgrade requirements of the [Talent Promoter] to level 4, Leo had to upgrade at least seven basic talents into elite talents. So far, Leo had upgraded three talents [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation], [Battle-axe mastery], and [Wyvern Wings], leaving him with four more talents to upgrade. ¡®I don¡¯t think it will take much time before I awaken four more new talents.¡¯ Yesterday, Leo was worried that it would take years to upgrade the [Talent Promoter]; however, he had already gained three new talents from then. Hence, he felt it would not take as much time as he imagined. ¡®Now, it is time to check the title.¡¯ Leo controlled his excitement and checked the domineering title he received after killing three supreme-ranked beings. ¡®Ding, Title name: Supreme Killer. Effect: 1) Ten percent additional damage on the Supreme ranked beings. 2) The title holder can¡¯t be intimidated by the low-level supreme-ranked beings. Note: This title can¡¯t be stacked with other titles. ¡®Cool. With this title, I can kill the supreme-ranked beings even faster.¡¯ Leo wanted to rush out and kill the third supreme-ranked monster by looking at the two effects of the title [Supreme Killer]. However, he controlled his excitement because he knew killing the third supreme-ranked monster would only cause him more trouble. Even though Leo didn¡¯t know what the city leader and Mr. White was nning, he knew killing thest supreme-ranked mutated beast would only make things difficult for him. ¡®I already got two new talents and skills and a new title. So, it is better to devour the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts and devour them. ¡®Ding, The host has two titles. Please select a title that the host wants to equip himself with. ¡®But the only problem is the titles can¡¯t be stacked together.¡¯ When he received the sudden system notification, Leo silently selected [Supreme Killer]. Since there are no devils in this world, at least Leo didn¡¯t meet them or hear about them. Hence, the title [Devil¡¯s smasher] was currently useless for himpared to the title [Supreme Killer], where he could kill the Supreme ranked beings in this world. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Absolute Devour] has upgraded to level 7 from devouring a supreme-ranked mutated beast. ¡®Ding. The host¡¯s Talents[Fire Healing] and [Sunfire Bolt] have been upgraded to level 8. Please use them 100 times each for the next upgrade. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Battle roar] has been upgraded to level 7. As soon as he selected the title, a series of system notifications rang in his head, giving him a pleasant surprise. The experience points from devouring a supreme-ranked being were so huge that [Absolute Devour] not only became an advanced talent but also upgraded the talents gained using that talent. ¡®I need to use my level 8 skills and talents 100 times each.¡¯ Leo noted how to use his talents and skills in the future before checking the changes in the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Absolute Devour (Level 7). Effect: 1) 100 percent chance of gaining a random talent or a skill from the living being killed by the user after consuming the corpse if that living being is one rank higher than the user. 2) If the consumed being has the same rank as the user, then the chances are 10 percent, and for consuming the lower-ranked beings, the chances are minimal. 3) [Passive Effect] The user can replenish his energy spent on using the talents only by consuming the same ranked or above-ranked beings countless times. Soon, the information about the level 7 [Absolute Devour] appeared in front of Leo, making him excited. The first and second effects were the same as level 6 [Absolute Devour]; however, the hidden effect of the [Absolute Devour] became visible. The reason for his excitement was that he could replenish his energy without a limit. ¡®This talent is bing more and more overpowered.¡¯ From now on, Leo doesn¡¯t have to worry about insufficient energy when fighting the monster and mutated beast hordes. Hence, he was happy about it. ¡®Let¡¯s see whether I can awaken any new skills by using this [Absolute Devour].¡¯ With a slight smile behind his mask, Leo walked out of his secret dimensional space and started hunting down the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 123 Mission Completed Even though Leo wanted to kill thest supreme-ranked monster, the Labyrinth Drake King, he didn¡¯t try to risk his life. So, he focused on killing the rank 9 monster and the mutated beasts, hoping to awaken one or two skills, and at the same time, he wanted to upgrade his new skills by devouring the monsters he killed. [Battle Roar] ¡°Kill them all.¡± Leo¡¯s words increased the morale of the mercenaries and other heroes around him as they fought the monsters and the mutated beasts more fiercely than before. [Sunfire Bolt] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ [Fire w] ¡®sh¡¯ Next, he summoned nearly 100 fire bolts that were aimed at a group of rank 9 monsters, which killed more than half of them, and the remaining half were killed by his next skill [Fire w] [Specter] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Seeing that he was dealing a lot of damage to their side, a group of rank 9 mutated beasts targeted Leo; however, he easily dodged them by using his ghost skill. [Fire Healing]-. ¡®Swish¡¯ His ghost skill is useless against the energy attacks. So, he was slightly injured by one or two attacks. Hence, he summoned a healing fireball and ced it on his injury to heal it. Overall, he only used the skills and talents he gained from [Absolute Devour]. To be more specific, he used the level 8 skills and talents repeatedly to meet the 100 times usage requirement. ¡®I need to grind as much as possible before Drake King escapes from here.¡¯ Even though Leo was not fighting the Drake King, he kept an eye on how Mr. White and the city leader were fighting it. He was sure that the city leader and Mr. White were intentionally not using their powerful moves and hiding them from one another. Therefore, Leo was sure that the Drake King would escape without any problem. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s devour.¡¯ Leo had already killed more than 20 rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts within no time. So, he started devouring them. ¡®It is time to reveal a little more information about the Talent Swallowing Hero.¡¯ Since a few organizations and city leaders had already hunted him, he wanted to show something to everyone around him that would make others think before attacking him. [Absolute Devour] In front of everyone, Leo ced his hand on one of the rank 9 monsters he killed and started devouring it with the devil¡¯s mouth. The ground was filled with countless monsters and the mutated beasts; however, Leo could only awaken a skill by devouring the monsters he killed. ¡®Ding, The host devoured a rank 9 monster but didn¡¯t awaken a new skill. Even though he didn¡¯t awaken anything, Leo was not disappointed as he repeated the process for the second, third, and so on. ¡®Hey, look there.¡¯ ¡®Is that a mouth?¡¯ ¡®Does that mean he is eating them?¡¯ ¡®I think he is eating them and in return, he might be awakening their skills.¡¯ ¡®Wait a second. Does that mean, he can even devour us, right?¡¯ Suddenly, everyone from the human side became fearful of Leo. ¡®No wonder, he has so many skills and talents.¡¯ ¡®However, I don¡¯t think he can swallow his talents unconditionally. There must be certain requirements and conditions.¡¯ Nevertheless, not everyone feared ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s¡¯ devouring and guessed there must be limits and conditions to it. ¡­ Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh. Leo killed 100 rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts before devouring them and sessfully awakened two more new skills. Even though it was less than the probability that the system had mentioned, Leo was satisfied with two new skills. ¡°Roar¡­Everyone retreat.¡± On the other hand, the Labyrinth Drake King roared at his surviving subordinates and ordered them to retreat. ¡°One day, I will make you pay for killing my friends and the subordinates.¡± There were thest words that the Drake King had said before running away. Since he was a Supreme-ranked monster, if he wanted to escape, no one could stop them. Moreover, Mr. White and the city leader didn¡¯t intend to use their full power against the Drake King or pursue it into the wilderness. After the Drake King¡¯s escape, all the monsters and the mutated beasts started running away; however, most were unlucky as the human heroes killed them. ¡°Everyone, the victory is ours. Long live city leader.¡± ¡°Long live city leader.¡± The city guards shouted out loud, and the human heroes also did the same to get into the good books of the city leader. ¡°We won because of everyone¡¯s hard work.¡± However, the city leader acted modestly and gave everyone credit for stopping the horde. ¡°Moreover, we should be thankful for the mighty ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯. Without him, we would have been in serious trouble.¡± The city leader looked at Leo and bowed, ¡°Thank you for your help. If you don¡¯t mind, I will host a party tonight to show my gratitude. You should give me face ande to the party.¡± ¡°Yes, sir. You shoulde.¡± The city leader and the city guards requested Leo to visit the party. ¡°Of course, he wille. Without the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯, Phirie city would have been destroyed.¡± Mr. White could tell what the city leader was nning. Therefore, he also requested Leo to attend the party. ¡°Looks like you have a lot of time on your hands.¡± However, Leo scoffed at them and said, ¡°Even though you are supreme-ranked heroes, you don¡¯t focus on improving your battle prowess. If you can¡¯t kill a supreme-ranked monster even after fighting together, then you should just go and die. You are useless to the human race.¡± ¡°How dare you speak in such a way?¡± The five loyal city guards became furious and about to attack Leo; however, they were stopped by the city leader. ¡°Even though you are able to kill supreme-ranked beings that don¡¯t give you the right¡­.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have time to waste on weaklings like you. I hope I don¡¯t see you again.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before the city leader could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words and entered his secret dimensional space, and left. ¡°You.¡± The city leader clenched his fists in anger; however, there was nothing he could do now since he could not sense where the Talent Swallowing Hero went. ¡®Cool¡¯ On the other hand, the Talent Swallowing Hero became an idol for the young heroes because of his guts. They had never seen anyone speak so rudely to the city leader. Even Mr. White, with the strength of Supreme rank, always remained polite and respectful in front of the city leader. However, the Talent Swallowing Hero, who was only a rank 9 hero, not only did he reject the city leader¡¯s invitation but also mocked the city leader in front of everyone. ¡°Everyone, thank you for your hard work.¡± After such humiliation from Leo, the city leader didn¡¯t dare to stay there any longer and hurriedly left with the city guards. ¡­ ¡®I feel so much better after insulting him.¡¯ Leo had already returned to his mansion and smiled a little. Because he had wanted to mock the city leader in front of everyone for a while now, and today, he had finally done it. Therefore he was happy about it. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the mission ¡®Iing monster and mutated beast hordes¡¯. ¡®Finally, it¡¯s time for the mission rewards.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 124 Grade 1 World Ticket ¡®Finally, it¡¯s time for the mission rewards.¡¯ Leo had been waiting for that system notification because of the mission rewards. ¡®Ding, The host received the following rewards: 1) The hatching time of the two supreme-grade eggs will be reduced to 24 hours. 2) One round-trip ticket for a random grade 1 world. The two rewards were useful for Leo. The first reward helps him stop attracting the attention of the supreme-ranked monsters and mutated beasts. As for the second reward, Leo wanted to visit a grade 1 world and see how powerful it would be after learning about the world assessments and world grades. It was clear that a grade 1 world would be more powerful than his current world; however, he wanted to learn more about it because the system was not answering his question. ¡°For eggs, I have to wait one day. I wonder what type of beast and monster are inside these eggs.¡± Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the first reward. ¡®Now, I can farm my [Absolute Devour] and the talents and skills I gained from it.¡¯-. In a grade 1 world, the inhabitants¡¯ strength would be naturally higher, which increases the chances of awakening the talents or skills when devouring their corpses. Even though Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to kill the humans that wanted him dead, he was not the type to kill the other human unnecessarily. However, he doesn¡¯t mind killing the monsters, mutated beasts and even the beings from the other worlds to increase his strength. ¡®Let¡¯s see more details about this otherworldly travel ticket.¡¯ Looking at the talisman filled with mysterious runes in his hands, Leo appraised it. ¡®Ding, Item name: Grade 1 World Ticket. Destination: random grade1 world. Ticket type: Round-trip. Duration: Seven Days. Information: Cushing the ticket will open a portal to a random grade 1 world where the host can explore for seven days before automatically teleported back to this world. Note: The time might run faster or slower in the destination world; however, the host will be teleported only after thepletion of seven days in this world (Human world). ¡®Seven days is enough to get a rough understanding of the grade 1 world; however, if I can stay longer, it will be even better.¡¯ Looking at the ¡®Note¡¯, Leo hoped that the grade 1 world he enters runs faster so that he could stay longer and learn more things about that world. Nevertheless, it was just his wishful thinking. ¡°Should I use this ticket now?¡± Leo was curious about the other worlds; however, he suppressed his excitement because he had an auction to finish. ¡®Wait a second. There is no need for me to attend the auction. I will let Amy¡¯s father handle it.¡¯ His excitement to enter a grade 1 world was much bigger than the little auction where he nned to discard all the unnecessary items. Hence, after thinking for a while, Leo decided to give the items to Oliver before using the otherworldly ticket. With that thought in mind, Leo went to the Icefeather family and gave the items he nned to auction. Three rank 9 war god weapons, talent upgrade stones (One advanced, two elite and three basic) and a few rank 8 and rank 9 artifacts that he used in the past. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, young hero Leo. I will sell all these items at a good price. You can leave it to me.¡± When Oliver received all these items and heard that he would be in charge of selling them all, he was excited and believed that Leo was trusting him. ¡­. Next, Leo secretly visited ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ mercenary squad currently staying in the Cloudriver family. ¡°Daniel, I will be leaving Phirie city for seven days. I want you to be in charge if any one of our friends gets into trouble.¡± After Dominic, Leo felt Daniel was the most capable of handlingplicated situations. So, he put him in charge while travelling to a grade 1 world. ¡°Use this Fragment of the God stone and the Advanced talent upgrade stone to be a rank 9 hero.¡± While saying those words, Leo gave him two stones which made Daniel excited. ¡°Hide your strength and in case anyone finds out, just say you have an enlightenment during the invasion.¡± ¡°Yes, Boss.¡± Even though Daniel was excited about his strength, he knew he would have many responsibilities now. Therefore, he attentively listened to Leo. ¡­. In Ryan¡¯s house, Leo didn¡¯t use the ticket immediately; instead, he secretly went to Ryan¡¯s house after 24 hours. Even though Leo always gave the preference to increasing his strength, he didn¡¯t forget about his family. After Julia joined ¡®The Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ and Ryan became the rank 7 hero, Leo was not worried much about his family because they had enough strength to survive in the city. However, he wanted to help his youngest siblings, Emily and Evan, increase their talent levels and battle prowess. ¡°Bro¡­¡± ¡®Shh¡¯ Evan was surprised by the sudden appearance of Leo and tried calling his name; however, Leo stopped him and asked him to remain silent. ¡®You awakened your talent [Monster Control]; however, it is dangerous for you to enter the wilderness yet.¡¯ After returning from the [Treasurend], Julia used the talent awakening stone to awaken Evan¡¯s talent fully. ¡®How do you know?¡¯ Since his talent [Monster Control] would attract a lot of attention, Ryan and Julia hid it from everyone. So, Evan was surprised when he heard Leo knew about his talent. ¡®Use this basic talent upgrade stone and upgrade your talent to level 2.¡¯ First, he asked Emily and Evan to use the basic talent upgrade stones to upgrade their talents [Beast Control] and [Monster Control] to level 2. ¡°Okay.¡± Even though they met Leo only for a short time, they felt close to him. Moreover, they learned about basic talent upgrade stones from the books. They used it without any hesitation. ¡°Now, it is time for you to form a contract with them.¡± As soon as they upgraded their talents, Leo took out two supreme-ranked eggs from his secret dimension space with a slight smile. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 125 Mutated Beast Egg Hatches ¡®Why are these eggs so big?¡¯ Emily and Evan both eximed simultaneously, making the smile on Leo¡¯s face even bigger. Because of their weak body constitution, they have to stay in the house all the time. So, they made a habit of reading books rted to talents, monsters and mutated beasts. ording to what they know, no matter how big the monsters or mutated beasts were, their eggs would not be as huge as the eggs in Leo¡¯s hand. ¡®If you keep it a secret from Ryan and Julia, I will tell you about them.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to tell them about the eggs; however, he asked them to keep it a secret. ¡®Yes.¡¯ Evan and Emily didn¡¯t have to think much as they directly agreed to Leo¡¯s condition. ¡®These are supreme-ranked eggs. One belongs to a supreme-ranked monster and the other one belongs to a supreme-ranked mutated beast.¡¯ ¡®What? Supreme-ranked eggs?¡¯ Both Emily and Evan were shocked when they heard Leo¡¯s reply; however, they suppressed their voice. ¡®Yes. Drop some blood on these eggs and they will instantly recognize you as their family.¡¯ Nodding his head, Leo urged them to drop the blood on the eggs. There is a limit to basic heroes like Evan and Emily forming contracts with the monsters and the mutated beast.-. So, Leo wanted a good monster and beastpanion for Evan and Emily that could grow along with them. ¡®Brother Leo, aren¡¯t they a little too valuable to give away just like that?¡¯ Evan was excited and was about to poke his finger with a needle; however, Emily stopped him and asked Leo. ¡®Yes. They are very valuable.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t deny how valuable these eggs were because even the supreme-ranked beings tried to invade the city for these city eggs. ¡®That¡¯s the reason I am giving them to you. With your talents, you can bring out the true potential of the monster and the beast thates from these eggs.¡¯ Leo gave a random answer and urged them, ¡®These eggs will hatch soon. So drop your blood soon.¡¯ ¡®Emily, let¡¯s just listen to Brother Leo.¡¯ Evan didn¡¯t care much and directly poked his finger, dripped his blood on the monster egg, and looked at Emily. ¡®Okay.¡¯ Emily wanted to reject the egg as it was too valuable for them; however, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl who wanted to be as strong as possible to protect her family and friends. So, she didn¡¯t hesitate any more and dropped the blood on the mutated beast egg. ¡®Kacha¡¯ After a couple of minutes, the two eggs started shaking as cracks appeared on them. ¡®They are hatching.¡¯ Emily and Evan were excited because it would be their first contracted monster and the mutated beast, respectively. ¡®Grr¡¯ A low growl came from the beast egg, and a small white puppy¡¯s head popped out of the egg. Its big ck eyes filled with intelligence looked around curiously, and as soon as it saw Emily, it wobbled towards her. ¡®Wow¡­this puppy is cute.¡¯ Emily carefully picked up the white puppy and lightly caressed it. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Heavenly Dog. Strength: rank 1. Skill: Heaven¡¯s protection (Passive). Heaven¡¯s Protection: A barrier will be formed around the beast that will block all attacks below supreme rank for one minute. Bloodline: Heavenly Beast God (Yet to be awakened). While Emily was ying with the white puppy, Leo checked the information about the dog and could not help but feel happy for his sister. ¡®Without a doubt, this dog is going to be very powerful if given enough time.¡¯ Looking at the single skill and the bloodline, Leo didn¡¯t worry about Emily¡¯s future anymore because as long as she takes care of the puppy properly until it reaches adulthood, it will protect her. ¡®I wonder what monster Evan would get.¡¯ Leo¡¯s focus was on the monster egg; however, the monster inside the egg was not showing any signs ofing out of the egg. ¡®Brother Leo, can I help ite out?¡¯ Evan became anxious and asked Leo whether he should help the monstering out of the egg. ¡®No. You should never help a monster cub or a beast cub ining out of their eggs.¡¯ However, Leo stopped Evan and asked him to wait. ¡®Kacha¡¯ In the next second, a crisp sound came, making Evan excited; however, the sound didn¡¯te from the monster egg; instead, it came from the beast egg that already had a hole. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo frowned and wanted to check out the huge egg shell. ¡®Kacha¡¯ However, before he could check, the cracks around the egg shell became bigger and bigger, and a ck-coloured puppy wobbled out of the egg. ¡®Another beast?¡¯ Leo and the twins were surprised by the appearance of the second puppy from the supreme-ranked mutated beast egg. ¡®Emily, looks like you are lucky to get twin puppies.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo smiled and congratted Emily for getting two pets from the supreme-ranked mutated monster egg. ¡®Thank you, Brother Leo.¡¯ Emily thanked Leo as she picked up the ck puppy and held both the puppies in her arms. ¡®Ding, Beast name: Infernal Dog. Strength: Rank 1. Skill: Infernal Bacsh (Passive). Infernal Bacsh: If someone tries to attack it, the attacker will receive 100 percent damage from their own attack. Note: If the attacker¡¯s rank is high, the damage reflected on him will be decreased by 10 percent for every single rank. Bloodline: Infernal Fire God (Yet to be awakened). While waiting for the monster egg to hatchpletely, Leo checked the information on the ck puppy. It was opposite to the Heavenly Dog; however, one thing was sure: it would be as powerful as the Heavenly Dog. ¡®If they could be rank 9 beasts before the world assessment starts, they could contribute a lot to the world.¡¯ Leo learned from the old remnant spirit that the world assessment would be more dangerous than the pre-assessment. So, it was better to have some powerful allies. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Finally, it was time for the supreme-ranked monster egg toe out of the egg as the cracks around the egg became bigger. ¡®Puchi¡¯ Suddenly, a small human hand came out of the egg, shocking everyone. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 126 I am a Dwarf, not a Monster Most of the monsters were humanoids; however, there was not a single monster that looked like a perfect human. At least they didn¡¯t meet any monsters that lookedpletely simr to a human. Therefore, when they saw a small human hand, Leo and the twins could not help but be shocked. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Amidst their shocked gazes, the monster eggs werepletely shattered by the cub inside the egg. What came out of the monster egg was a one-meter dwarf fully equipped with grey armour. ¡®Huh? A dwarf?¡¯ Even though it was Leo¡¯s first time seeing the dwarves, he had heard about them because of their excellent weapon refining skills. The one-meter dwarf checked his surroundings, and when he saw Evan, he walked toward him and stood by his side with his eyes closed, without saying anything. ¡®¡­¡¯ Evan and Emily didn¡¯t know what to say as they looked at the young dwarf and triedmunicating with him. However, the young dwarf ignored them and didn¡¯t open his eyes. ¡®Ding, Monster Name: None. Monster race: Grey Dwarf. Strength: None (Newborn).-. Skill: None. Potential: Master Weaponsmith. Information: The grey dwarves will retain ancestral memories regarding the weapon refining skills every now and then. So, give some time for the grey dwarf. On the other hand, Leo was checking the information on the young dwarf and nodded with a satisfied smile. Even though the young dwarf seemed useless without any strength or skills, once he bes a Master Weaponsmith, all the supreme heroes would be queuing in front of the young dwarf for weapons. ¡®Evan, don¡¯t be sad. In the future, the young dwarf¡­.¡¯ Seeing that Evan was sad, Leo informed him about the young dwarf¡¯s future, making Evan reveal a slight smile. ¡°Master¡± Suddenly, the grey dwarf said a word out loud, and in the next second, a thin golden light came out of the young dwarf¡¯s body and entered Evan¡¯s body. Even Leo was not expecting the young dwarf¡¯s following action, not to mention Evan, who was only a rank 2 hero. ¡®Aargh¡¯ He didn¡¯t have any time to dodge the golden light as he fell to the ground and started groaning in pain. ¡®Evan¡¯ Emily and Leo were worried; however, they could not stop the golden light from entering Evan¡¯s body. ¡®System, what the hell is happening?¡¯ Leo asked the system in an anxious tone. ¡®Ding, There is no need for the host to worry about the golden light. ¡®Ding, The young dwarf is sharing his first skill that was retained from his ancestral memories with his master. ¡®Oh. So that¡¯s what it is.¡¯ Even though Leo learned that it was good for Evan to receive a skill from the young dwarf, his heart ached to see his little brother groan in pain. ¡®Emily, don¡¯t worry. The young dwarf is helping Evan in awakening a skill.¡¯ Nevertheless, he informed Emily about what was happening to Evan, making her nod; however, she was still a little worried. ¡°Evan, Emily.¡± As Evan groaned in pain, a worried voice came from outside as Ryan opened the door to check on the twins. ¡°Brother Ryan.¡± Emily was shocked and remembered that Leo didn¡¯t want Ryan to know about his arrival. So, she blocked Ryan¡¯s view and stopped him from entering her room. ¡°What happened to Evan?¡± Ryan frowned and asked Emily, trying to see the insides of the room. ¡°I-its¡­¡± Emily didn¡¯t know what to say and struggled to find an excuse. ¡°Brother Ryan, nothing happened to me.¡± However, the next second, Evan walked to Ryan and shook his head. ¡°O-okay.¡± Ryan felt something was not right; however when he saw Emily and Evan were alright, he didn¡¯t think much and left. ¡®Phew¡­that was close.¡¯ They heaved a sigh of relief after Ryan left. ¡®Evan, are you alright?¡¯ Soon, Emily checked on her brother and was relieved that nothing had happened to Evan. ¡®I am alright, my dear little sister.¡¯ ¡®Who are you calling little sister? Call me big sister.¡¯ ¡®In your dreams.¡¯ Soon, they went back to their little fighting session. ¡®These little brats.¡¯ Seeing them fight over who was older between them, Leo could not help but shake his head with a slight smile. ¡®Let¡¯s give a big surprise to your Brother Ryan after you be powerful. What do you say?¡¯ Even if they didn¡¯t stop Ryan, Leo was not worried as he could always hide in the secret dimensional space. ¡®Yes. We are waiting for that day.¡¯ Until now, the twins had done nothing for their Brother Ryan, who had looked after them independently for thest 10 years. So, they wanted to protect him. However, for that, they need strength which they got after receiving the supreme-grade eggs from Leo. ¡®By the way, what skill did you receive from the young dwarf?¡¯ Emily suddenly remembered Leo¡¯s words and asked Evan. ¡®I didn¡¯t receive a skill; instead, I received a weapon refining technique.¡¯ Evan was excited and proudly answered Emily while patting the young dwarf. ¡°Master, I don¡¯t like being patted by anyone.¡± The young dwarf replied to Evan in a cold tone, making Evan bitterly smile as he stopped patting it. ¡®Speak in a low tone. Do you want Brother Ryan to know about you?¡¯ Evan asked the young dwarf to speak in a low voice; however, he suddenly realized something. ¡®Wait a second. How can you speak already?¡¯ Not only Evan but even Leo was also curious about the young dwarf that could already walk and speak only after a few minutes ofing out of the egg. ¡®Why not? The grey dwarf can retain the ancestral memories as soon as theye out of the egg. The more information a young dwarf can retain, the more things it can do. Just like how I shared the weapon refining technique with you.¡¯ The young dwarf exined in a low voice, clearing the doubts of Leo and the twins. ¡®Oh. Cool.¡¯ Everyone nodded their head and finally understood that dwarves were the cool monsters. ¡®What weapon refining technique did you receive from your monster?¡¯ Emily asked Evan with a curious look. ¡®Who are you calling a monster? I am a Dwarf, not a monster.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 127 Entering a Grade 1 World ¡®Who are you calling a monster? I am a Dwarf. Not a monster.¡¯ Before Evan could tell about the technique received, the young dwarf corrected Emily with a cold tone. ¡®Emily, don¡¯t call him a monster.¡¯ Leo knew something that almost no humans don¡¯t know about the monsters. All the monsters in their world were the inhabitants of a particr world. Just like the human world, they have their power system. However, they failed in their world assessment, and 10 percent of the surviving poption of those worlds were sent to other worlds as wild monsters in the name of the pre-assessment test. The wild monsters were almost turned into mutated beasts with less intelligence but full of killing intent. Leo learned from his experience in the wilderness that these wild monsters could recover their intelligence with time. The perfect example would be dimir, the shadow vampire, the supreme-ranked manticore king, and many other wild monsters. Nevertheless, some wild monsters would lose control and focus on killing others rather than thinking. ¡®I think the reason why the young dwarf is considered a monster was because it was born in a foregin world. Any otherworldly being that is born in this world will be considered a monster to the residents of this world.¡¯ Leo silently concluded why the system also mentioned the young dwarf as a monster. ¡®O-okay.¡¯ Emily looked at the young dwarf and nodded.-. Since Leo had personally said that, Emily didn¡¯t bother to argue with the young dwarf and asked Evan, ¡®Now, tell me. What weapon-refining technique did you get?¡¯ ¡®Hundred Hammer Strike- refining technique.¡¯ Evan replied with a proud look and exined the technique, ¡®I can remove all the impurities in metal with this technique. The weapon created using this purified metal will have additional effects and skills.¡¯ ¡®Cool¡¯ Emily knew it was an excellent supportive skill, and as long as Evan focused on weaponsmithing, he could refine high-level weapons in the future. ¡®Ding, Refining technique: Hundred Hammer Strike. Effects: 1) Removes the impurities from the metals and increases the metal quality. 2) If used in the fight, the overall strength of the user increases by two times the moment he holds a heavy hammer. ¡®Huh? Second effect?¡¯ While Evan exined the refining technique he gained from the young dwarf, Leo assessed Evan¡¯s information before focusing on that technique. He was surprised to see there was a second effect for that technique. ¡®I think it is better if he learned about the second effect on his own.¡¯ Leo silently thought to himself before taking out three golden tokens. ¡®Use these Monster/Beast storage devices to store your young dwarf and the puppies. Try your best to hide about me and yourpanions from everyone including Ryan and Julia.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t wait for them to say anything as he continued, ¡®I wille back in seven days and will try to bring a few good monsters and the mutated beasts for you to form a bond.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Leo opened the portal into his secret dimensional space and left from there. ¡®Emily, did you sense anything familiar?¡¯ After Leo left, Evan and Emily remained silent before Evan asked his sister. ¡®About Brother Leo, right? I do.¡¯ As though she understood what Evan was asking, Emily nodded in agreement. ¡®I feel like he is Brother Toby. Other than that reason, I am unable to think why Brother Leo was very generous to us.¡¯ ¡®But, what I don¡¯t understand is why he is not revealing his identity to us?¡¯ ¡®I think he must have a reason behind not revealing his identity to us. Let¡¯s act like we don¡¯t know anything.¡¯ The twins continued to talk about their Brother Leo, aka Brother Toby. The reason why the twins were able to figure out that Brother Leo was none other than Brother Toby was because of the way Leo behaved with them. He practically raised them for seven years from birth. What¡¯s more, the twins had already forgotten the face of their Brother Toby; however, they didn¡¯t forget how he treated them and how much he had cared for them. They had the same feeling whenever they were in the presence of Leo. Therefore, they concluded that Leo was none other than their Brother Toby. The thought that Leo was their Brother Toby excited the twins, and they look forward to meeting Leo more and more in the future. At the same time, their determination to be powerful increased even more after seeing how powerful their big brother had be. ¡­.. In Leo¡¯s manor, ¡®Phew¡­now, I don¡¯t have to worry about Ryan, Julia and the twins.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t know that the twins had already figured out his identity as he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®Since I have taken care of all the things in Phirie city. I can travel to the grade 1 world.¡¯ Leo asked Davis to take care of the manor and the enved people he had freed before locking the door. ¡®It¡¯s time to enter the grade 1 world.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo used the ¡®Grade 1 world ticket¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host used the random ¡®Grade 1 world ticket¡¯. Opening the portal to a random Grade 1 world. The world ticket in his hand turned into dust, and Leo received a system notification. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, a portal big enough for him to enter appeared in front of Leo. ¡®Ding, The portal to a grade 1 Beast World is opened. Please enter. ¡®A Beast world?¡¯ Leo raised his eyebrows when he saw the words ¡®Beast World¡¯; however, he didn¡¯t think much about what world he would be entering. Because his goal was to enter a grade 1 world and see how powerful it was with his own eyes. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo took only one step to enter a grade 1 world, and the portal behind him closed. ¡®Ding, Collecting the details regarding the world. Please wait. ¡®Okay.¡¯ Nodding his head at the system notification, Leo checked his surroundings. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, someone threw a on him and caught him before he could check his surroundings. ¡°Looks likedy luck is smiling on me today. I caught a human.¡± Leo heard a hoarse voice and fell asleep before realizing what was happening to him. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 128 New Mission in the New World ¡®Ding, The basic information about the world is collected. Transmitting the information to the host¡¯s head. ¡®Aargh¡¯ Leo woke up from sleep as he felt a sharp pain in his head and hurriedly checked his surroundings. Currently, he was inside a cage, and opposite his cage, there was another cage. ¡®A lion cub?¡¯ The lion cub inside the cage was looking at Leo curiously, making Leo unconsciously assess the information about it. ¡®Ding, Beast name: ming Lion (Cub). Strength: Rank 6. Talent: me Devour (level 6), Divine Sense (Level 5), Firest (Level 5). Passive skills: Bestial roar, Fire resistance.-. Bloodline: Heavenly ming Lion Bloodline (Yet to be awakened). Information: A descendant of the Heavenly ming Lion who was lucky enough to possess its bloodline. It will awaken the bloodline after its passing its infant stage. ¡®What? It¡¯s already a rank 6 beast?¡¯ Leo was shocked by the strength of the cub; however, when he remembered it was a grade 1 world, he was not shocked anymore. ¡®Since it is a native of this world, it has talents; however, it also has the skills.¡¯ Leo frowned because it was his first time seeing someone with Talents and Skills other than himself. ¡®Ding, The basic information of the grade 1 beast world is sessfully transmitted to the host. Suddenly, he received a system notification and felt his head was filled with some foreign knowledge. ¡®So, this world has four regions and each region is ruled by one besital race.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about the ming Lion cub and checked the information about this world in his head. ording to that information, this world¡¯s name is Beas, and it has four regions. They are Ababdoned sea, Embered fields, Zephyr mountains and Evergreen grasnds. Other than these four regions, there is a vast wilderness filled with wild monsters that came through the otherworldly portals, made their settlements and waited for an opportunity to take over the world. ¡®Looks like it is simr to the human world except for the fact they survive the grade 1 world assessment.¡¯ Leopared the human and beast worlds and found many simrities. In the ce of cities, this world has regions, and in the ce of humans, this world is ruled by the four beast races. ¡®Also, time runs faster in this worldpared to the human world.¡¯ Another interesting thing he learned about this world was time runs faster. One day in the human world is three days in the Beas which means Leo can stay in this world for 21 days. ¡®Anyway, I should get out of here first and explore this world.¡¯ After going through the information in his head, Leo got a rough understanding of the world; however, it was not enough for him to survive because the information didn¡¯t contain the strength or what type of beast races were ruling this world. So, he decided to explore this world and learn more about it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a thought, Leo disappeared from the cage and reappeared outside the cage. ¡®At least one of the four races is ming Lions.¡¯ Looking at the lion cub, Leo silently thought in his head. ¡®Pur¡¯ Seeing Leoe out of the cage, the lion cub purred at him as though it was asking him to help it. ¡°Since you are the first beast I met in this world, I will help you.¡± Even though Leo didn¡¯t know whether the lion cub would understand his words or not, he still said those words before helping ite out of the cage. Nevertheless, even if it was not the first beast he met in this world, Leo would still free the cub because he hated to see someone in the cage as it reminded him of his cruel past. ¡°Thank you, Human.¡± As soon as the lion cub came out of the cage, it thanked Leo. ¡°What? You can speak?¡± Leo was surprised to hear a little boy¡¯s voice and asked the cub. ¡°Of course. Generally, the ming lions can¡¯t speak until one year; however, I am an exception as I can speak just one month after I was born. Currently, I am two months old.¡± The cub was proud and said it was a special ming lion. ¡°Oh.¡± Leo was surprised to learn that the cub was only two months old but already a rank 6 beast; however, he remained calm and nodded. ¡°Human, you look strong. If you can safely take me back to my father, I will repay you with generous rewards.¡± After hesitating, the ming lion cub proposed a deal and hoped that Leo would agree. ¡®Ding, A new mission is generated. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Heir of the ming Lion Race. Mission Objective: Protect and safely guide the only heir of the ming lion to his home. Mission Reward: A fragment of the God stone. Note: Depending on how friendly the host can be with the lion cub, the host will be rewarded with additional rewards. Mission Details: Among the four bestial races that rule this world, only the ming Lion race was lucky enough to produce an heir with their ancestor¡¯s bloodline. Even though it was yet to be awakened, it won¡¯t be long before that heir awakens the bloodline. The day he awakens it, the remaining three races have to ept him as the sole ruler of the Beas. However, they didn¡¯t want such a thing to happen. Therefore, the three races nned together and kidnapped the lion cub. Danger rating: Once the host epts the mission, he will be the enemy of the three bestial races of the Beas. The system didn¡¯t wait for Leo to open the mission tab and directly showed theplete details of the mission. ¡®Fragment of the God stone and even additional rewards?¡¯ Even though the rewards were tempting, Leo didn¡¯t ept the mission without checking the remaining details. ¡®So, he is special because of his bloodline and he could be the ruler of this world.¡¯ Leo understood the situation of the lion cub and muttered, ¡®I will ept the mission.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters?

It was by attracting the attention of the world¡¯s inhabitants. ¡®Even though it is risky to be the enemies of the three races, the rewards are worth it. Not only can I get those rewards but I can also devour arge number of beasts to awaken more talents and at the same time, I also upgrade the skills and talents gained from [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Leo smiled slightly and agreed to the ming Lion cub¡¯s deal. ¡°Good. Don¡¯t worry, human. I will make sure you are generously rewarded.¡± The cub was excited and once again promised Leo the rewards. ¡®If things go south, I can use my [Spatial Maniption] to hide.¡¯ Leo was not worried much as he was confident in his talent [Spatial Maniption]. ¡°However, I don¡¯t know much about this world and how to travel to your family.¡± In the next second, Leo shrugged with a calm look, making the lion cub nearly fall to the ground. ¡°How can you not know about this world? Even though you might not be native to this world, it¡¯s been thousands of years since wild humans were thrown into this world along with other wild monsters.¡± The lion cub intently looked at Leo as it didn¡¯t understand why the human in front of it was so dumb and thought, ¡®Maybe he hurt his head and lost his memories.¡¯ ¡°¡­¡± Leo was speechless when he saw the lion cub looking at him with pity. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You have strength, I am smart. No one can stop us from leaving this ¡®Water Spider Den¡¯.¡±-. The lion cub didn¡¯t exin about the world; instead, it said, ¡°For now, let¡¯s leave this den. I will tell you everything about this world along the way to my family.¡± As the lion cub finished its words, it rushed towards the exit of the den sealed with spider webs. ¡®Firest¡¯ Soon, the mane made up of fire appeared around the cub¡¯s head, and it tried to burn the spirit webs. However, it was useless because the spider webs seemed more robust than the mes produced by the cub. ¡°Human, can you teleport us out of this den?¡± Seeing that the mes were useless against the spider webs, the cub requested Leo¡¯s help. ¡°Let me see how powerful they are.¡± Leo didn¡¯t use his [Spatial Maniption] talent; instead, he wanted to destroy the densely packed spider webs preventing them from leaving the den. [Fire w] ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®They are strong.¡¯ Seeing that his level 8 [Fire w] only did slight damage, Leomented, ¡®a rank 9 water spider might have released the spider webs.¡¯ ¡®But, I can cut them if I use the [Fire w] multiple times.¡¯ Among all his skills, [Fire w] consumes the least energy. Moreover, he had to use it 100 times to upgrade it to level 9. So, he didn¡¯t bother to waste energy using other powerful skills or talents. ¡®sh ¡®sh¡¯ Leo used both hands to materialize the transparent fire w and shed at the spider webs. ¡°Human, can I ask you one thing?¡± While Leo was shing at the spider web, the lion cub asked him without waiting for his reply, ¡°What is your exact rank? Even with my [Divine Sense], I can¡¯t sense your real strength.¡± Before entering Phirie city, Leo asked the system to show his strength as rank 6, and afterwards, he didn¡¯t bother to change it. The lion cub has a talent for sensing the real strength of others; however, it sensed Leo¡¯s strength as rank 6. It was very sure that Leo was hiding his real strength. Therefore, it curiously asked Leo about his strength. ¡°Do you want to know my strength or do you want me to save you? Pick one.¡± However, Leo was not the type to share his secrets with anyone just because they were together. So, he asked the lion cub to pick one. ¡°Protect me.¡± Leo was the only hope for the lion cub to return to his family. So, he didn¡¯t ask Leo any more questions. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After using the [Fire w] ten times, the spider webs disappeared as Leo, and the lion cub walked out of the spider den. ¡°What the¡­¡± After walking out of the spider den, Leon was shocked by the surroundings because, as far as his eyes could see, it was filled with water and hundreds of huge ck-coloured rocks. All these ck-coloured rocks were connected using spider webs. ¡®Is this one of the four regions ¡®The Abandoned Sea¡¯?¡¯ From the information he gained from the system, Leo guessed his current location. ¡°The Water Spiders are really something to go as far as bringing us to the depths of the Abandoned sea.¡± From the side, the lion cub angrily informed Leo. ¡°The ming lion heir and the human are trying to escape. Alert everyone.¡± As Leo was about to ask how they should leave the region, a group of huge ckish blue-coloured spiders resting on the spider webs connecting the huge ck rocks alerted everyone. ¡°Rank 9 beasts as guards?¡± Leo was surprised to see that rank 9 water spiders were guarding them; however, soon, he became happy. ¡°Stay here. Let me take care of them.¡± With an exciting look, Leo rushed towards the group of rank 9 water spiders. [Wyvern Wings] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Even though the huge water spiders were using the spirit webs to move, Leo didn¡¯t step on them, fearing they might drain his energy. When he entered this world, he vaguely remembered getting caught in a spider web, and before he could do something, he felt all his energy was drained, making him fall asleep. ¡®Even if they don¡¯t have the ability to drain my energy, it is better to avoid them.¡¯ Soon, two huge ck-coloured wings appeared on his back. [Fire w] [Wyvern w] [Sunfire Bolts] Leo mostly used the skills and talents he gained from [Absolute Devour] that were stuck at level 8. Even though he needed to use those skills and talents multiple times, Leo didn¡¯t mind, and it didn¡¯t even take much time for Leo to kill five rank 9 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host killed five rank 9 water spiders and received 1500 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host made his first kill in the Beast World. As a result, the host will be rewarded with a Bestial Soul Stone. ¡®A Bestial Soul Stone?¡¯ A transparent stone with a small serpent sealed in it appeared in his hands. ¡°Who dares to kill my children.¡± Suddenly, an angry female voice came from the distance, and hundreds of rank 9 water spiders came out of the huge ck-coloured rocks with blood-red eyes. ¡°Oh no. Human, let¡¯s fly away from here. The Mother of the Water Spiders has woken up.¡± The lion cub became anxious as it hurriedly asked Leo to escape. Even though the ming lion cub was only two months old, because of its special status, it was taught everything about the Beas. So, it knew how powerful the Mother of the Water Spiders was and what it would do once they were captured. ¡°Okay.¡± Keeping the Bestial Soul Stone in the storage ring, Leo picked up the lion cub and flew in the direction the cub pointed. ¡°My dear children, hunt them down. Kill the human and capture that ming Lion¡¯s heir alive.¡± The angry voice resounded in the surroundings as Leo increased his speed. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 130 Beastnet and its rulers Leo was ready to fight hundreds of rank 9 water spiders; however, what he feared was the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯. Even with his title [Supreme Killer], Leo still felt slightly afraid when he heard the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯ angry voice. From this, he was sure that the entity had higher strength than level 5 Supreme Beast. Therefore, he didn¡¯t even bother to devour the rank 9 water spiders he killed earlier and hurriedly flew away from the iing water spiders. ¡°Human, you can¡¯t escape after killing one of us.¡± There were huge-ck rocks everywhere in the ¡®Abandoned Sea¡¯ region, and these rocks were the dens of the water spiders. So, no matter which direction Leo was flying, he met a group of rank 9 water spiders. [Freeze web] [Poison Spit] [Water st] Of course, they were not rushed out of their shelters to say hello to Leo as they used their talents and skills at Leo. ¡°Idiot. Don¡¯t use [Poison Spit], you might identally kill the Heir.¡±-. ¡°I forget. I will not use it.¡± ¡°It is better to catch both of them alive and if things be worse, you might kill the human; however, we can¡¯t afford to kill the Heir.¡± They didn¡¯t care much about human; however, they didn¡¯t want anything to happen to the Lion Cub because they had other ns for it. [Wyvern w] Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t hold back his strength as he killed the rank 9 water spiders without hesitation. ¡°Why can¡¯t they afford to kill you?¡± While dodging the iing attacks of the water spiders, Leo asked the lion cub in his hands about the worry of the water spiders. ¡°Of course, no one can afford to kill me unless they want to face my father¡¯s fury.¡± The lion cub was proud when it talked about its father. ¡°Huh? How strong is he?¡± Since his goal in entering this world was to learn how powerful the beasts are, Leo asked about the strength of the cub¡¯s father. ¡°If you tell me your strength, I will answer your question.¡± The lion cub chuckled in its heart and thought, ¡®Now, I can find your strength.¡¯ ¡°Looks like you are asking me to leave you here. Okay them.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t bother to answer the cub; instead, he flew towards a huge ck rock where more than five rank 9 water spiders were spitting webs at them. ¡°No¡­no¡­no. I will not ask you any questions.¡± Seeing that Leo was nning to leave it on the ck rock, the cub became anxious and hurriedly answered, ¡°My father is a level 8 Supreme Beast Hero and one of the four strongest beasts in this world.¡± ¡°Huh? Supreme Beast Hero?¡± When he killed a supreme-ranked monster, Leo learned the levels in the Supreme rank, starting from level 1 to level 9. However, he didn¡¯t understand why the lion cub used ¡®Hero¡¯ when informing him about his father¡¯s strength. ¡°Yes. Even though that ¡®Hero rank system¡¯ is used by the humans, the four beast races created a Beast Hero rank system simr to your humans.¡± The cub heaved a sigh of relief when it saw Leo kill those rank 9 water spiders and flew away from the huge ck-coloured rock as it exined the power system of their world Beas. ¡®Oh.¡¯ Leo nodded and asked, ¡°Tell me about this world.¡± As they flew, Leo sensed that the water spider dens became fewer and fewer. Hence, he asked the cub to exin about the world. ¡°Four races rule Beas. They are, The first one is ¡®The Abandoned Sea¡¯ is ruled by the water spiders, and their leader is ¡®Mother of the water spiders¡¯ that angrily shouted at us a few minutes ago. The second one is ¡®The Emberfields¡¯ , which is ruled by my father, the ming Lion King. The third region is called ¡®The Evergreen Grasnds¡¯, ruled by Terra Bull Tyrant, and thest region is called ¡®The Zephyr Mountains¡¯, ruled by the Zephyr Gaint Eagle.¡± Even though what the lion cub said was also basic information about the world, it was more detailed than the information provided by the system. ¡°The fifth region that was at the center of this world is the wilderness where the wild monsters from other worlds live. Among those wild monsters, humans were one of them. After you safely bring me back to my father, I will make sure you find your family in the vast wilderness.¡± The cub acted generously and promised to help Leo reunite with his family. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after I bring you back.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t have any family in this world. Hence, he didn¡¯t care much about it; instead, he didn¡¯t understand something and asked the cub, ¡°If your father is so powerful, then how did they kidnap you in the first ce?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The lion cub remained silent for a moment when it heard Leo¡¯s question; however, it answered, ¡°Among the four beast races, there is an irond rule that no young beasts are allowed to go into the wilderness until they be rank 9 beast.¡± ¡°From the moment we are born, all kinds of natural resources will be provided at our doorsteps depending on our potential. Since I am bound to be the heir of the ming Lion Race and also the son of the current race leader, I was given extra care and protection which made me suffocate.¡± ¡°One day, my uncle helped me enter the wilderness; however, I am very unlucky to encounter a horde of rank 9 Terra Bulls. Nevertheless, because of my [Divine Sense], I was able to avoid them only to fall into the hands of the Water Spiders.¡± The lion cub exined how the little cub ended up in the cage. ¡°What about you, human? How did you end up in the cage?¡± As soon as it asked the question, the cub remembered something and hurriedly said, ¡°There is no need for you to answer it. I forgot you dislike answering those questions.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ Suddenly, a dozen sharp needles rushed at Leo and even though Leo blocked with his wyvern wings, one needle pierced Leo¡¯s shoulder. ¡®Ssh¡¯ In the next second, Leo started losing bnce as he fell into the sea. ¡°Human, the wild monsters I caught never escaped from grasp¡­keke.¡± A huge water spider swam towards Leo from a distance with an eerie chuckle. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

However, the scariest thing about this water spider was the sharp needles all over its body. ¡®Huh? Where did he go?¡¯ However, there was no trace of Leo when it swam to where Leo had fallen in the water. ¡°Looks like that human abandoned you¡­keke.¡± Looking at the lion cub struggling in the water, the special spider eerily chuckled before picking it out of the water with its long de-like leg. ¡°Everyone, surround the entire area and search. After getting pierced by my [Sleep Inducing Darts], his body will be unconscious soon.¡± Even though he didn¡¯t find Leo, the special spider was not worried they would escape. Instead, it was calm and ordered the rank 9 water spiders to surround the area and search for him. ¡°As for this Heir, take good care of him. He needs to be alive for our n to seed.¡± Soon, it threw the lion cub at one of the rank 9 water spiders before looking for Leo. ¡°Yes, Captain.¡± All the rank 9 water spiders respectfully acknowledged the special water spider and started searching for Leo in the water. ¡°I caught you once and I will catch you again at any cost¡­Keke.¡±-. With its usual eerie chuckle, the Spider Captain muttered to himself. ¡­ Inside Leo¡¯s secret dimension space, ¡®Ding, The host is affected by [Sleep Inducing Poison]. ¡®Ding, The host will soon fall into a deep sleep within a minute for five minutes. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s passive talent [Poison Resistance] is triggered. As a result, the effects of the [Sleep Inducing Poison] will be reduced by 50 percent. The moment Leo fell into the water, he entered his secret dimension space because he felt weak all over his body. If he gets captured in his current state, it might be a problem for him to escape from the water spiders the second time. Previously, they were fooled by his fake strength of level 6 Hero; however, after killing nearly 100 rank 9 water spiders within a few minutes, will they use the same cage and same level of security to imprison him. Since he could not bring the living creatures into his secret dimension space, he could not leave the lion outside. ¡®Judging from what the lion cub has told me, the water spiders will not kill him.¡¯ Nevertheless, he was sure the water spiders would not kill the lion cub. ¡®Thanks to the skill [Poison resistance], I can wake up even before getting kicked out of the secret dimension space.¡¯ Leo had already seen the system notifications and knew he would fall asleep in less than a minute. However, he was not worried about getting kicked out of his secret dimension space while asleep because he could stay inside that space for five minutes. After killing the Wyvern King, Leo was lucky enough to awaken two more skills by continuously devouring the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Poison Resistance (Level 6). Skill Type: Passive. Effect: The user has 50 percent resistance to all types of poisons. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Silver skin (Level 6). Skill Type: Active Effect: After activating this skill, a thin silveryer forms around the user¡¯s body, increasing the user¡¯s defence by 50 percent. Even though they were not top-notch skills, they were useful in their way, like how the [Poison Resistance] helped him reduce the effects of the [Sleep Inducing Poison] by half. ¡®Before I fall asleep, let¡¯s check the strength of this purple-striped water spider.¡¯ Leo forcefully opened his eyes and checked the information on the Spider Captain. ¡®Ding, Beast name: Purple-striped Water Spider (Mutated). Strength: Level 1 Supreme beast. Talent: Can¡¯t be detected. Skills: Can¡¯t be detected. Note: The host¡¯s strength is not enough to check the full information of the beast. Other than the beast¡¯s name and strength, the remaining sections were not detected because he was not a supreme-ranked hero. ¡®As I expected, it is a Supreme-ranked beast.¡¯ The only reason why Leo was toote in dodging the poison darts was because of the beast¡¯s strength. ¡®I should kill this b*stard before he releases his poison darts.¡¯ Soon, Leo felt his eyelids be heavy as he fell asleep. ¡­.. Time continued to pass, and 150 seconds passed in a sh as Leo woke up from his deep sleep. ¡®Ugh¡­I need to upgrade my [Poison Resistance] to level 8 soon to gain more resistance.¡¯ After waking up from sleep, Leo decided to focus on the [Poison Resistance]. ¡®Anyway, I will leave from here first and make my move after he leaves.¡¯ Even though Leo swore to kill the Purple striped water spider, he knew he couldn¡¯t kill a supreme-ranked monster in a single attack unless he received some external help. Therefore, he moved far from the ce searched by the water spiders with the help of his secret dimension space. Soon, he secretly followed the water spider carrying the lion cub. That¡¯s right! He didn¡¯t forget about the mission. Even though the mission was dangerous, Leo was sure that he couldplete it without any problems. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh; however, the water spiders¡¯ search for Leo was useless as they didn¡¯t find any traces of Leo in the water. ¡°Where did you go?¡± The Purple striped water spider frowned for not finding Leo even after searching for an hour. Earlier, he was confident he could easily catch Leo; however, that confidence disappeared. ¡°Child, there is no need to search for him anymore.¡± Suddenly, a familiar voice resounded in the entire region, ¡°The other Captains and Generals are waiting for you. Come to the meeting den.¡± ¡°B¡­but¡± The Purple striped water spider wanted to say something; however, after thinking for a moment, it nodded, ¡°Yes, mother. I will join them in a few minutes.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t stop searching for that human until I return. I want him either alive or dead.¡± After ordering the rank 9 water spiders, the Purple striped water spider left from there. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 132 [Bonus Chapter] Beast Soul Stone ¡®Haha¡­I felt bad for not devouring the rank 9 water spiders I killed earlier; however, now I don¡¯t have to feel bad anymore.¡¯ While following the water spider carrying the lion cub, Leo saw the corpses of the water spiders. Some were floating on the water, whereas a few were hanging on the spider ropes that were connecting the spider dens. Therefore, while following the rank 9 water spider, Leo started collecting them in the secret dimension space. ¡®I should not kill these rank 9 water spiders.¡¯ Even though he saw many defenseless rank 9 water spiders, Leo didn¡¯t kill any of them because of the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯. Last time, the moment he killed a group of rank 9 water spiders, the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯ was able to sense it. For now, Leo didn¡¯t want to attract any attention. He only wanted to devour the corpses of the water spiders he killed earlier while following the water spider carrying the lion cub. Every once in a while, Leo woulde out of the secret dimensional space so that he would not get kicked out of it after five minutes. [Absolute Devour] ¡®Kacha¡¯ Soon, he started devouring the corpses he stored in his secret dimensional space. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 9 water spider. No talents or skills are awakened.-. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Poison Resitance] is upgraded to level 7. ¡®Excellent¡¯ The skill was already on the verge of reaching level 7. So, after consuming a single water spider¡¯s corpse, it reached rank 7, making Leo reveal a slight smile. ¡®Now, I am 70 percent poison resistant.¡¯ After checking the changes, he found the poison resistance increased from 50 percent to 70 percent. ¡®Devour¡¯ ¡®Devour¡¯ ¡®Devour¡¯ Leo knew that it¡¯d been a while since he killed them. The longer the time between their death and his devouring, the lower the chances of awakening their talents and skills. Hence, he sped up the process and devoured one after another at an incredible speed. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 9 water spider. No talents or skills are awakened. ¡®Ding, The host used¡­ ¡®Ding, The¡­ . . . ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Poison Resitance] is upgraded to level 8. Please use the skill 100 times to upgrade it further. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Silver Skin] is upgraded to level 8. Please use the skill 100 times to upgrade it further. Even after consuming nearly 20 corpses, Leo could not awaken a single skill or talent. ¡®It is already within my expectations.¡¯ Nevertheless, he was not disappointed; instead, he was satisfied with his two skills, reaching rank 8. All the skills and talents that Leo had awakened through the [Absolute Devour] had reached level 8. To upgrade these level 8 skills and talents, Leo needs to use them 100 times each. ¡®I have used [Fire w] and [Wyvern w] more than 50 times each. I should upgrade them to level 9 before leaving this world.¡¯ Leo set a small goal for himself as he continued to devour more and more water spiders¡¯ corpses. Even though the experience gained from devouring is useless now, Leo felt it was not a big problem. The main thing he wanted now was to awaken a skill or two of the water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a rank 9 water spider. The host awakened a new talent [One Strike] Finally, after consuming the 25 corpses of the water spiders, Leo awakened a new talent, making him heave a sigh of relief. ¡®Ding, Talent name: One Strike (level 1). Effect: The talent can be activated when the user holds a sharp weapon in his head. It increases the damage from the strike by 10 percent. Note: It is stackable with other talents and skills that increase the damage output. ¡®Nice Talent.¡¯ Leo liked the skills and talents that could increase his damage output, and he loved them even more if they could be stacked. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ He upgraded it to level 4 using [Talent Promoter], which increased the damage output to 40 percent, making Leo nod his head with satisfaction. ¡®Three more talents to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 4.¡¯ Leo was looking forward to upgrading [Talent Promoter] to level 4 because he guessed a level 4 [Talent Promoter] could upgrade his talents to level 7 with the help of [Promote points]. ¡®I think I might get three more talents before leaving this world.¡¯ Since he could stay in this world for another 20 days, Leo knew that getting three new talents won¡¯t be a problem for him as long as he took some risks. ¡®Anyway, for now, I will finish all the corpses and see whether I can awaken a talent or skill.¡¯ Soon, he went back to his work to follow the rank 9 water spider carrying the lion cub and, at the same time, collect the water spider corpses and devour them. ¡®Also, I received a reward for killing the first water spider. I wonder what it was.¡¯ Leo had no time to check earlier as the water spiders hunted him. There, he checked it now. ¡®Ding, Item name: Beast Soul Stone. Use: A stone that can be used to awaken a soul in a weapon or an artifact, and at the same time, the awakened soul will be merged with the soul stored inside the Beast Soul Stone. Note: 1) The weapon might awaken new effects and new skills after a sessful merging of the souls. 2) It can only be used on Rank 9 or below ranked weapons or artifacts. ¡®I can awaken the soul of a weapon or an artifact?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised to receive such a valuable item after his first kill in this world. ¡®System, what if the awakened weapon soul gets devoured by the beast soul stored inside this stone?¡¯ However, Leo didn¡¯t use it; instead, he asked the system about his doubt. ¡®Ding, There is no need for the host to worry. The soul store inside the Beast Soul Stone will not have any battle prowess or memories. ¡®Good. Now, I can use it on Arcane Silver then.¡¯ With a thought, a sword appeared in their hands, and Leo decided to use the stone on it. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 133 [Bonus Chapter] Ancestor Serpent Manifestation The Arcane Silver Sword is a rank 8 weapon and partially awakened its consciousness. Moreover, he was connected to it and didn¡¯t want its awakened soul to get devoured by some random beast soul. Leo used it only after making sure that it won¡¯t be a problem to use the Beast Soul Stone on the Arcane Silver. Another thing about awakening the weapon soul was a massive temptation for Leo because only Supreme-grade weapons or artifacts could awaken the souls. If his Arcane Silver could awaken a soul, it would be on par with the supreme-grade weapons. ¡®At that time, I can kill the level 1 supreme-ranked beings on my own.¡¯ Leo wanted a powerful weapon that could insta-kill the supreme-ranked beings, and with the help of the Beast Soul Stone, it was possible. ¡®Ding, The host wants to use the Beast Soul Stone on the rank 8 Arcane Silver Sword. Please confirm it once again before using it. ¡®Yes. I want to use it.¡¯ Leo was able to kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beast with the rank 8 sword, and he was looking forward to seeing how powerful it would be after upgrading to rank 9. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the arcane silver sword started shining with bright silver colour; however, since Leo was currently inside his secret dimensional space, he was not worried about getting noticed by the water spiders.-. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading the arcane silver sword to rank 9. ¡®Ding, The sword has fully awakened its soul and sessfully merged with the Ancestor Serpent Soul. It only took a few minutes for Arcane Silver to finish its upgrade, and it not only awakened a soul but also merged with the beast soul. ¡®So soon. Let¡¯s check the changes in Arcane Silver.¡¯ Leo saw the rank 9 water spider throw the lion cub into the same den they escaped from earlier. So, he stopped following the water spider and checked the information on the upgraded sword. ¡®Ding, Weapon Name: Arcane Silver (Soul awakened). Grade: Rank 9. Effect: 200 percent increase in the battle prowess of the user. Weapon Skills: Absolute Pration, Artifact Eater, Silver sh. Soul skill: Ancestor Serpent Manifestation. ¡®Overall upgrade in the effect and two new skills.¡¯ Leo could not help but be excited when he saw the rank 9 Arcane Silver information because he didn¡¯t expect the weapon to awaken two new skills along with the overall change in the weapon¡¯s effect. Previously it was only a 100 percent increase in his strength and defence; however, now, it has doubled. Moreover, it was not limited to only strength and defence; instead, his overall battle prowess. ¡®Let¡¯s see what the new skills can do.¡¯ With a single thought, the information on the new weapon skill and the soul skill appeared before Leo. ¡®Ding, Weapon Skill: Silver sh Effect: The weapon holder can release the sword waves at the enemies standing some distance from the holder. Note: The closer the weapon holder to the enemies, the higher the damage will be. ¡®Ding, Soul Skill: Ancestor Serpent Manifestation. Effect: When this skill is activated, a giant phantom of the Ancestor Serpent will appear above the weapon holder for five minutes. The phantom gives the following benefits to the holder. 1) All serpent-type monsters, beasts or tribe members below the Supreme rank will acknowledge the weapon holder as their master until the phantom disappears. 2) As for the supreme-ranked serpent-type beings, their battle prowess will be reduced by 10 percent. ¡®[Silver sh] is not bad. I can now use the sword for long range attacks also.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the weapon skill; however, when he saw the soul skill, he was shocked. ¡®What? Bing the master of all the serpent-type beings for five minutes?¡¯ Even though it was only for five minutes, Leo knew how he could change the tides of a battle. Imagine one of the human cities was invaded by a group of monsters and the mutated beasts, and let¡¯s say there were some serpent-type monsters and beasts. If Leo used [Ancestor Snake Manifestation], then he could make the monsters and beasts fight among themselves. ¡®Moreover, a 10 percent decrease in the supreme-ranked serpent-type beings will give me quite an advantage against them.¡¯ Overall, Leo was pretty much satisfied with upgrading his Arcane Silver. ¡®I wonder whether I can kill the supreme-ranked beings with the Arcane Silver now?¡¯ However, deep down, his human heart was still greedy, and he asked himself, ¡®If I had the chance to use this stone on my Quasi-supreme grade Battle axe, then it would have been even better, right?¡¯ Since the battle-axe was only an inch away from bing the Supreme grade, Leo felt it would have been even easier to kill the supreme-ranked beings if he could have used the Beast Soul Stone on the battle-axe. ¡®Anyway, I still think I have two weapons that could deal some damage towards the level 1 supreme ranked beings.¡¯ Pushing his greedy thoughts aside, Leo looked at the den where the lion cub was caged and thought, ¡®I will finish these corpses before saving him.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want to waste the corpses. Therefore, he started devouring them one after another. ¡­. In the meeting den of the Water Spiders, ¡°Since everyone is here, I will exin the n.¡± Seeing that the Purple-striped water spider entered the meeting den, the voice of the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯ resounded in the den. ¡°Yes, Mother.¡± There were 21 water spiders in the meeting den of different sizes and coloured; however, everyone remained respectful towards the voice. ¡°After a few discussions with the Zephyr Giant Eagle and the Terra Bull Tyrant, we havee to the conclusion that we should eliminate the ming Lions from the Beas.¡± The female voice resounded in the meeting den, surprising all 21 supreme-ranked spiders. ¡°Mother, I am waiting for this moment. Let¡¯s erase the Lions.¡± ¡°Yes, Mother. Those lions think they are invincible.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s show them what we are capable of.¡± ¡°If we three races attack the ming Lions together, we can easiy kill them.¡± Soon, they excitedly replied to the ¡®Mother of the Water Spider¡¯ as though no one could save the ming Lions from them anymore. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

Do you really think we can win against the ming Lions just by teaming up with the other two races?¡± However, the 21 water spiders were rebuked by their Mother, the ruler of ¡®The Abandoned Sea¡¯. Even though it was said that the four races rule the Beas, it was a lie because the ming Lions suppress the three other races. These ming Lions were known for their fire damage. Most importantly, their leader, the ming Lion King, had the highest rank among the four bestial rulers, making the other three rulers constantly wary of him. ¡°ording to the information we have on the ming Lion race, they have more than 50 elders who had the equivalent strength of our race¡¯s captains and generals. So, we need to work together with the other two races in erasing the ming Lion race.¡± The ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯ asked everyone, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to fight with the other two races because our goal this time is the ming Lion. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Yes, Mother.¡± ¡°Also, someone needs to stay back in this region, in case the wild monsters enter our territory.¡± ¡®Rumble¡¯ Amidst her words, the meeting den shook a little as a colossal spider leg came from the outside, ¡°You. Stay back, and you know what to do if the wild monsters enter our territory, right?¡± Pointing at the Purple striped water spider, the spider queen gave him the task.-. ¡°Yes, Mother. I will turn them into delicious food for the mother to consume.¡± The Purple striped water spider was excited to be chosen by the spider queen to look after the territory as it hurriedly nodded. ¡°I know you prepare the best meals for your mother. That¡¯s why I have chosen you.¡± The spider queen¡¯s voice resounded in the den as she retracted her leg. ¡°As for the remaining children, are you ready to go?¡± ¡°Yes, mother.¡± ¡°Good. let¡¯s go.¡± As soon as the ¡®Mothe of the Water Spiders¡¯ finished her words, the 20 supreme-ranked spiders disappeared from their ce. ¡°Child, Protect the territory and Lion¡¯s Heir. In case we fail in taking down the ming Lions, that Heir is the ticket for us to get out alive from there.¡± Her voice resounded in the meeting den before the entire sea was filled with huge waves, and a huge ckish red-coloured water spider with wings flew out of the sea. ¡®Is that the Queen?¡¯ There was a golden crown on that huge water spider¡¯s head. Looking at it, Leo unconsciously muttered those words. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo was still shocked at how huge that water spider was; he saw it fly off into the distance at an incredible speed. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Winged Water Spider Queen (Mother of the Water Spiders). Error¡­Error¡­Error. Before the spider queen could fly away, Leo was able to appraise it; however, nothing was visible other than the name of the beast. ¡®If the lion cub¡¯s father is the strongest one then this spider queen¡¯s strength should be level 7 or level 6 supreme rank, right?¡¯ Even though he was shocked at the spider queen¡¯s appearance, Leo knew it was not the strongest beast in the world. ¡®I wonder how majestic the ming Lion King would be. If such a powerful beast could owe me a favour for saving his son, then my revenge on the city leader and the master enver will be a piece of cake for me.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he finally got to see how powerful a grade 1 world could be. ¡­ ¡®Huh? What was that feeling earlier?¡¯ On the other hand, the spider queen sensed something when it left its home. ¡®Is it because we are finally going against the ming lions that I am having a bad premonition? I should be confident; otherwise, those two b*stards will make me the scapegoat in front of the falming lions.¡¯ However, she didn¡¯t think much and tried to look confident in front of the other two rulers before attacking the ming Lion King. ¡­. ¡®Anyway, I think the spider queen leaving this region is a good thing for me.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about the power level of the rulers of this world and started thinking of going all out and devouring more water spiders. ¡®But, there might be other supreme-ranked water spiders. I think it is better for me to save the lion cub and leave this region.¡¯ It wasmon sense that there must be some supreme-ranked water spiders to guard the territory in the absence of the spider queen. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t want to raise themotion and save the lion cub first before leaving the ¡®Abandoned sea¡¯. [Fire w] ¡®sh¡¯ Once he decided what to do, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he assassinated five rank 9 water spiders before throwing them into the secret dimension space. ¡®Looks like it must have been scared when I left it in the water.¡¯ Soon, he freed the lion cub from the cage; however, it was asleep while asionally shivering, making him think about the time when he had to hide in the secret dimensional space while leaving the lion cub in the water. The ming lions hate water because they cannot release their true firepower. A ming lion cub fears the water because they cannot collect any fire energy in the environment to release the mes. [Fireball] Leo felt a little guilty for leaving it in the water. Nevertheless, he created a small fireball using his [Mighty Combustion] to keep it warm. He didn¡¯t rush out of the cave; instead, he waited until the lion cub no longer shivered. ¡®Since it is recovering, it is time to leave this region.¡¯ Leo had killed around 80 water spiders and wanted to kill a few more on his way out of this region. With that thought in his mind, Leo walked out of the den, and he was ready to teleport to the faraway ck rock in the distance. ¡®Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check it. However, a system notification rang in his head, which stopped him in his tracks. ¡®Another mission?¡¯ Leo was surprised for a moment and checked it. ¡®Haha¡­it is time for a massacre.¡¯ After reading the contents of the mission, Leo changed his ns from silently leaving the territory to massacring the water spiders. **** Want Bonus Chapters?

Tell me what happened. Not the rumors, but I want the truth.¡± ¡°T-this¡­even I don¡¯t know about it.¡± The city leader shook his head and said, ¡°There are no traces of anyone from the Ambermane family. One of the buildings in the Ambermane family grounds was destroyed.

Is it true?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The city leader frowned when he heard the burly man mention the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯; however, he still nodded. ¡°Haha¡­looks like he had improved so much in the past one year that he didn¡¯t even leave a single trace of the humans¡­interesting.

The Abandoned Sea, Beas, ¡®Ding, Mission name: Spider Killer. Objective: Kill as many water spiders as possible before the Spider Queen and its 20 supreme-ranked children return to the Abandoned Sea. Rewards: The rewards will be given whenever the host kills a specific number of water spiders. As for the rewards, it will be a surprise for the host. Dangers: Purple-striped Water Spider. Leo revealed an evil smile while looking at the mission details in front of him. A few moments ago, Leo was nning to leave the Abandoned sea; however, after learning that only one supreme-ranked water spider was in this region, he changed his ns. ¡®Even if there were more than five supreme-ranked water spiders like the Purple-striped Water Spider, I could easily escape.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and was no longer scared to start the massacre in the Abandoned Sea. ¡°Little one, go and rest in the Beast Storage Device.¡± Even though he could teleport along with the cub, Leo no longer nned to escape; instead, he wanted to massacre the water spiders and, if possible, take revenge on the Purple-striped Water Spider for putting him in a cage. Entering the secret dimensional space along with the lion cub was not possible. Therefore, he decided to store the cub in the beast storage device. ¡®Let¡¯s kill as many water spiders as possible before the Purple-striped Water Spideres out of its den.¡¯ [Fire w] Sharp ws of fire materialized on Leo¡¯s hands as he looked at more than a dozen water spiders in the distance discussing something. [Teleport] With a thought, Leo disappeared from his ce, leaving a round mark on the ground before appearing in the middle of the dozen water spiders. ¡®sh¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t give any time for those water spiders to alert the others as he killed them at an incredible speed. ¡®Ding, The host killed 12 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3600 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured the 12 rank 9 water spiders; however, he didn¡¯t awaken anything. [Absolute Devour] In less than a minute, the devil mouth on his palm devoured those water spiders; however, he was not lucky enough to awaken any talent and skill. ¡®There must be enough water spiders for me to kill.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo was not worried as he focused on killing and devouring the water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host killed 10 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3000 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured the 10 rank 9 water spiders and awakened a new skill [Water de]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 13 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3900 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured the 13 rank 9 water spiders and awakened a new skill [Skin Hardening]. Even though he didn¡¯t awaken in the first round, he was lucky and awakened two skills back to back. ¡®Two skills. At this rate, I will collect all the talents and the skills of the entire water spider race.¡¯ Seeing the system notifications in his head, Leo could not help but get excited and wanted to kill more and more water spiders before devouring them to awaken a few more new skills and talents. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Water de (Level 1). Effect: The user can summon a de made up of water that can increase the user¡¯s damage by 10 percent. Note: This skill¡¯s effect can¡¯t be stacked with other skills¡¯ effects. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Skin Hardening (Level 1). Effect: The user¡¯s skin bes as hard as a rock, and the user¡¯s defense increases by 10 percent. Note: This skill¡¯s effect can¡¯t be stacked with other skills¡¯ effects. Leo nodded, looking at the information on his two new skills. Even though they were not powerful skills and, at the same time, they could not be stacked with other skills¡¯ effects, Leo was not depressed much with them. ¡®Having an extra skill is not a bad thing. As for whether I use them or not, it is secondary.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself and continued thinking, ¡®Every skill has its own time and ce to shine just like [Poison resistance], which would be my trump card against the Purple-striped water spider.¡¯ ¡®However, I hope to awaken talents.¡¯ Even though Leo preferred to awaken the talentspared to the skill, he didn¡¯t mind awakening two skills back to back. It was because if Leo could upgrade three more basic talents into elite talents, his talent [Talent Promoter] would be upgraded to level 4. Then he could use his millions of [Promote Points] to upgrade all his elite talents to advanced talents in an instant. ¡®Anyway, I should continue killing and awaken at least three more talents.¡¯ Leo took a pause and checked his surroundings for the Purple-striped water spider. He didn¡¯t want to be struck by the Purple-striped water spider again. So, he kept an eye for the supreme-ranked water spider before selecting his next group of rank 9 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The system detected that the host had multiple simr skills. ¡®Ding, The host has met the hidden requirements to unlock a new ability. Do you want to unlock the new system ability? Just as he was about to teleport to a faraway spider den, Leo received a couple of system notifications that made him stop in his tracks. ¡®A new ability?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised by the notifications and hurriedly nodded, ¡®Only an idiot doesn¡¯t want to unlock a new system ability.¡¯ *** Three BONUS CHAPTERS are released. I hope you have liked them. Want more Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 136 New System Ability, Dual Silver Skin Hardening Soon, Leo felt a sharp pain all over his body, simr to the pain when he first awakened the ¡®Talent Swallowing Ability¡¯. Nevertheless,pared to the pain he endured when awakening, the Talent Swallowing Ability is 10 times more than the pain he is enduring right now. ¡®Ding, A new system ability [Talent Merging Ability] is unlocked. After a few seconds, the sharp pain subsided as he received the system notification, which surprised him. He didn¡¯t have to check the information on his newly awakened ability because Leo could tell what he could do with it from the name of that ability alone. ¡®Ding, With this new ability, the host can merge talents and skills with simr levels and effects. ¡®Ding, The host can merge the talents and the skills without dissimr levels and effects; however, the chances of failure are very high. ¡®Ding, If the merging of two skills or talents fails, the host will lose one of the skills or talents involved in the merging. So, please be careful and try to merge only skills and talents with simr levels and effects. Even though he could tell what he could do with the new ability, Leo needed to check theplete information. However, before he could even ask the system about it, a series of system notifications resounded in his head, exining what he could and should not do with the new ability. ¡®I will merge the simr skills and talents first before continuing the mission.¡¯-. Leo wanted to see how powerful skill or talent would be after merging. So, he checked the user interface for simr skills and talents. ¡®[Silver Skin] and [Skin Hardening] belong to the defence category and have the simr effect.¡¯ Soon, Leo found the two simr skills. ¡®Since both the skills are level 1, I can merge them without worrying about failure.¡¯ Looking at his user interface, Leo focused on the two skills [Silver Skin] and [Skin Hardening]. ¡®Ding, Do you want to merge [Silver Skin] and [Skin Hardening]? ¡®Yes.¡¯ Leo nodded as he silently thought, ¡®Since I am following the two conditions mentioned by the system, I don¡¯t think the merging process would not fail.¡¯ Simr Levels and Simr effects are the two main conditions mentioned by the system. So, Leo was confident. ¡®Even if the merger fails, I don¡¯t mind losing one of the skills.¡¯ Leo was willing to risk having one powerful skill at the cost of losing one average skill. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging the two skills [Silver Skin] and [Skin Hardening]. ¡®Ding, The merged skill is [Dual Silver Skin Hardening]. Please check the information in the user interface. There was no pain whatsoever, as merging two skills took only a few seconds. ¡®[Dual Silver Skin Hardening]¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and hurriedly checked the changes in the newly merged skill. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Dual Silver Skin Hardening (Level 1). Effect: When the skill is activated, two thin silver-colouredyers appear on the user¡¯s body, increasing his defense by 20 percent. Note: The effect of this skill can be stacked with the effects of the other skills. ¡®The defence doubled.¡¯ Leo revealed an excited smile because the skill¡¯s effect increased from 10 percent to 20 percent. Moreover, it is currently at level 1. How powerful would his defense be when he upgraded it to level 9? Just thinking about it made Leo excited. ¡®Most importantly, the effect of this skill can be stacked.¡¯ This was the main reason for his excitement as he checked for other simr skills. Since the system said that he had multiple simr skills, he wanted to check whether he should merge them or not. ¡®[Fire w] and [Wyvern w] meet the criteria, right?¡¯ Even though the effects of these two skills were a little different, Leo could tell they could be merged. As for the level, both are at level 8. ¡®Ding, Do you want to merge [Fire w] and [Wyvern w]? ¡®No¡¯ However, Leo instantly rejected it. As long as he used these two skills a dozen times each, Leo could use the experience points from devouring and upgrade them to level 9. So, he decided to merge them after both the skills were upgraded to level 9. ¡®I need to upgrade these two skills to level 9 first and then merge them.¡¯ With that thought in his head, Leo focused on his next targets. ¡®Let¡¯s kill them.¡¯ Soon, Leo found a group of rank 9 water spiders in one of the spider dens in the distance. ¡®Die.¡¯ [Fire w] [Wyvern w] His left hand had materialized a fire w, whereas his right hand materialized a wyvern w. Leo used both his hands to sh more than a dozen water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host killed 12 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3600 [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured the 12 rank 9 water spiders; however, he didn¡¯t awaken anything. ¡®Ding, The skill [Dual Silver Skin Hardening] is upgraded to level 4. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skills [Fire w] and [Wyvern w] had been used 100 times each. ¡®Ding, The host can use the experience points from devouring corpses to upgrade them to level 9 now. ¡®Finally, I can upgrade them to level 9; however, I need to consume many rank 9 beast corpses to upgrade both of them to level 9.¡¯ Since the chances of failure in merging would decrease if both the skills had the same level, Leo had to upgrade them. However, Leo knew he had to consume many high-level corpses or a supreme-ranked corpse. ¡®Let¡¯s see how long it will take to upgrade them to level 9.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t lose motivation as he decided to kill more water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host killed 8 rank 9 water spiders and gained 2400 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured 8 rank 9 water spiders and¡­ ¡®Ding, Alert: The host has triggered the awakening effect of the [Absolute Devour] three times by devouring the water spiders. The chances of awakening a skill or talent by swallowing water spiders are decreased to one percent. ¡®What?¡¯ Chapter 137 First reward from the [Spider Killer] mission ¡®What? Only one percent?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw thest sudden system notification. Even though he had already thought there must be some limit to the [Absolute Devour]; however, he didn¡¯t expect that after awakening three skills or talents by devouring the same race would lower the awakening chances to one percent. ¡®Looks like getting three new talents from killing the water spiders is not possible anymore.¡¯ Leo shook his head and decided to kill the beasts from the races after getting out of this region. ¡®Anyway, for now, I will focus on the mission.¡¯ Even though Leo¡¯s chances of awakening a talent or a skill from devouring the water spiders have be less, it didn¡¯t stop him from killing them because of the mission. ¡®I wonder how many water spiders I have to kill before recieving the system reward.¡¯ The mission only stated that he had to kill a specific number of water spiders. He had already killed more than 50 water spiders. So, he wondered how many more water spiders he had to kill to get the reward. ¡®Let¡¯s continue.¡¯ Soon, he stopped thinking about other things and focused on the mission. ¡­ Inside a purple-coloured spider den,-. ¡®It¡¯s been a couple of hours since they started searching for the human. What can¡¯t they find him?¡¯ The purple-striped water spider was eating something wrapped inside the silk and thought about Leo, who disappeared without a trace. ¡®Where did he actually go?¡¯ Even though the spider queen asked him not to bother about the human, the purple-striped water spider could not stop thinking about Leo. ¡®Until now, I captured thousands of wild monsters and it was the first time a wild monster has escaped.¡¯ The water spider showed its frustration on its food as it ate the corpse fiercely. ¡®I need to check whether those low-level spiders are searching for the human or cking in the water.¡¯ When the purple-striped water spider thought about the rank 9 water spiders who always ck during work, it started eating faster so that it could go and inspect them. At the same time, it could also search for the wild human. ¡­ ¡®Ding, The host has killed 12 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3600 [Promote Points]. On the other hand, Leo was silently killing the water spiders while keeping an eye for the purple-striped water spider, which sneaked on him two times. [Absolute Devour] ¡®Grr¡¯ After silently killing the water spiders, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time devouring them. ¡®Ding, The host has devoured 12 rank 9 water spiders; however, he didn¡¯t awaken any new skills or talents. ¡®Huff¡­even after devouring nearly 50 rank 9 water spiders, I didn¡¯t awaken a single skill or talent. After Iplete the mission, there is no need to waste my time on these water spiders.¡¯ What Leo wanted right now was to get at least three talents before leaving this world; however, he learned devouring the water spiders to awaken a skill or talent would be useless. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Fire w] has been upgraded to level 9. Please upgrade the [Absolute Devour] to upgrade the skill beyond rank 9. ¡®Anyway, it was good to upgrade my skills and talents awakened from the [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile at thetest system notification; however, in the next second, he received another system notification which surprised him pleasantly. ¡®Ding, The host has killed 100 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) One percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) Ten percent of potential increase for level 8 [Space Maniption]. ¡®Huh? One one reward?¡¯ Leo was surprised with the rewards; however, he felt the rewards were low-tier. Even though increasing one percent and ten percent potential for level 9 and level 8 talents was a little bit hard, it was not valuable in Leo¡¯s eyes. ¡®Anyway, since I earned the reward from killing the water spiders, I might as well take it.¡¯ Without thinking much, Leo selected the second reward. His undead summons were already increasing the potential for his level 9 [Call of the Undead]. So, he decided to increase the potential for level 8 [Space Maniption]. ¡®Ding, Space Maniption (level 8), Potential (21/100). It¡¯s been only a few days since his skill got mutated, and it had already crossed the 20 percent mark in the potential. ¡®Ding, Do you want to continue the mission ¡®Spider Killer¡¯ or abort the mission? After receiving the reward, the system asked Leo whether he wanted to continue the mission. ¡®Of course. I want to. I still need to upgrade my [Wyvern w] to level 9.¡¯ Even though the rewards for the mission were not enticing, Leo decided to continue the mission until he upgraded [Wyvern w] to level 9 because only then he could merge [Fire w] and [Wyvern w] into a new skill. Time continued to pass, and another hour passed by as Leo silently killed more than a hundred rank 9 water spiders and, at the same time, devoured them. Even though he didn¡¯t awaken a new skill or talent, Leo was satisfied with something else. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Wyvern w] has been upgraded to level 9. Please upgrade the [Absolute Devour] to upgrade the skill beyond rank 9. ¡®Finally, it¡¯s upgraded. I can now merge two ws.¡¯ Since Leo could recover his energy from devouring the corpse, he was not tired; however, he decided to take a break to merge the two skills. ¡®And what happened to the mission reward? I already killed 100 water spiders.¡¯ Before he could merge them, Leo thought about the supposed rewards he should get for killing the 100 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host has already received the reward for killing 100 water spiders. The next target will be higher than the previous one. ¡®Huh? So, I have to kill more than 100 water spiders.¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he concluded, ¡®Wait a second¡­since the number of the water spiders I hace to kill increased, doesn¡¯t that mean the reward will also increase?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo became interested in the mission as he excitedly muttered, ¡®If my guess is right, I might upgrade my [Space Maniption] talent to level 9 today.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 138 Ultimate Blade Hunt Even though Leo was not sure, he guessed that reward would be simr but with more increment in the potential. So, he decided to kill more water spiders to check whether his guess was right or wrong? ¡®Before that, let¡¯s merge the ws.¡¯ Leo casually thought of merging [Fire w] and [Wyvern w], and soon, a system notification rang in his head, asking for his confirmation. ¡®Ding, Do you want to merge [Fire w] and [Wyvern w]? ¡®Huh?¡¯ Before he could reply to the system notification, Leo sensed some movements from the spider den opposite the den he was standing. ¡°Human, while everyone is searching for you, you are hiding close to my Den.¡± Suddenly, Leo had a bad premonition in his heart when he heard the eerie voice of the purple-striped water spider. ¡®Sleep-inducing poison darts.¡¯ The purple-striped water spider had seen Leo was good at escaping. Hence, he didn¡¯t waste time as he released a dozen poison darts at Leo. ¡®So, this is its home?¡¯ Leo had been watching the purple-striped water spider¡¯s sneak attacks. Hence, Leo teleported from his ce and dodged the iing poison darts without a problem. ¡°Huh? You have a [Teleportation] talent. No wonder, you can escape the eyes of my minions.¡± The purple-striped water spider was surprised for a moment and hurriedly transmitted his voice to his minions.-. ¡®The human has a [Teleportation] ability. The moment you saw him, shoot him with your special silk and capture him before sending a signal to me.¡¯ As a supreme-ranked water spider, the purple-striped water spider couldmunicate with the other water spiders. Even though a rank 9 water spider can¡¯t reply to him through the voice transmission, they have their ways of sending a signal to the purple-striped water spider. ¡®Where did he teleport himself to now?¡¯ The purple-striped water spider checked into the distance in the ces where Leo might appear. At the same time, it was waiting for one of its minions to report him regarding Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®What?¡¯ While it was checking his spider dens in the distance, the purple-striped water spider sensed the killing intent. In the next second, it saw the human appear in mid-air and aim to strike at the weakest part, which was the center of its body, which was very thin and seemed easy to cut. [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Silver sh] ¡°Die now.¡± However, it was toote for the purple-stripe water spider to dodge the attack; as Leo shouted out loud, a silver light released from the sword. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, the silver light released from the sword didn¡¯t even leave a scratch on the purple-striped water spider. ¡®As I expected, even with my level 9 arcane sliver sword, I can¡¯t break its defence with the [Silver sh]. What about the [Absolute Pratation]?¡¯ Nevertheless, it was within Leo¡¯s expectations, and he decided to use another weapon skill. Previously, Leo killed the supreme-ranked beings with the help of the shadow vampire and the city leader Theodore. Even though he knew he couldn¡¯t kill a supreme-ranked beast on his own, Leo wanted to see how powerful the arcane silver had be after the upgrade in its level. ¡®He didn¡¯t escape from me?¡¯ It was surprised that Leo didn¡¯t escape; instead, he attacked it, which was entirely out of its expectations. The purple-striped water spider thought that Leo was escaping from it because it was a general fact that a rank 9 hero could not kill a Supreme beast hero. However, it guessed wrong because Leo was not a regr rank 9. Moreover, he wanted to strike first to see whether he could kill the Purple-striped water spider or not. [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Absolute Pration] While the purple-striped water spider was in its thoughts, Leo disappeared from the mid-air and opened the portal below the purple-striped water spider before using another weapon skill. ¡®ng¡¯ Once again, it was useless as a metallic sound resounded when his sword touched the purple-striped water spider. ¡°Haha¡­human, you are really something.¡± The purple-stripe water spider could not help butugh when it saw Leo¡¯s actions, attacking him twice with his powerful attacks. ¡°No matter how much you attack me, my passive talent [Metal Skin] will not let you leave a single scar on me¡­Haha.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Whileughing, the purple-striped water spider shot white-coloured silk at Leo, which wrapped around Leo and made him copse to the ground. ¡®He is fast.¡¯ Even though Leo was wrapped in spider silk, he was not worried much. [Mighty Combustion] With his level 8 talent, Leo burned the spider skill around his body and instantly became free. ¡®Poison Darts¡¯ The water spider was surprised for a moment before releasing another round of darts. ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®ng¡¯ However, Leo deflected all the iing poison darts with his sword before rushing at the purple-striped water spider. Even though Leo could recover his energy by consuming the corpses, he could not use the same talent back to back within a few seconds. So, he didn¡¯t use the [Space Maniption], which he had used a few seconds back. Moreover, he needed that talent to escape into the secret dimensional space if things went south. [Spider sh] [Fire w] [Golden Net] [Space Maniption] [Sleep Powder] [Mighty Combustion] . . Soon, the purple-striped water spider and Leo started fighting, using one talent after another and one skill after another. ¡°It is my first time seeing a human have so many talents and skills.¡± The fight ended in a stalemate as both sides couldn¡¯t injure each other. Hence, the purple-striped water spider praised Leo for his multiple skills and talents. ¡°However, I have yed enough with you. Now, it¡¯s time to end the fight.¡± The purple-striped looked at Leo and continued, ¡°Before that, I would like to give you an off¡­.¡± ¡°Stop speaking and use your ultimate skill. I am curious about it.¡± Before the purple-striped water spider could finish its words, Leo scoffed at it and asked it to use its ultimate skill. ¡°Fine then. Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfil your wish. Don¡¯t worry, I will not waste a single piece of meat from your body and eat everything.¡± The purple-striped water spider was impressed with Leo¡¯s wide range of skills and talents. Moreover, it liked how confident Leo was. Hence, he decided to turn Leo into one of his minions. However, the trait that is disliked in Leo the most is ¡®Looking down on it¡¯. Therefore, he decided to kill him and devour him. [Ultimate de Hunt] As soon as it finished its words, its sharp de-like legs detached from its body and shone with bright purple-coloured light before rushing towards Leo. [Space Maniption] As for Leo, he wanted to see the powerful attack of the purple-striped water spider. He was not worried that his curiosity would kill him because he had a perfect ce to hide. After seeing the eight long dese toward him, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time jumping into his secret dimensional space. ¡°Haha¡­do you think you can escape by teleporting? I have already left my scent on you. No matter where you go, my legs will follow you and kill him.¡± The purple-striped water spider chuckled and was confident in his ultimate skill. ¡®What?¡¯ Hearing those words, Leo was shocked and became anxious, ¡®I need toe up with a different n.¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 139 Life and Death Situation ording to Leo¡¯s n, he could hide in the secret dimensional space when the purple-striped water spider uses its ultimate attack. After an ultimate attack, it wasmon for anyone to be weak temporarily. Even though Leo didn¡¯t know whether the purple-striped water spider would be weak enough to get killed in his hands, he wanted to give it another try after it used the ultimate attack. ¡°My des will hunt you down no matter where you go.¡± However, Leo became anxious when he heard the Purple-striped water spider¡¯s words. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the eight sharp des stopped in the ce from where Leo entered the secret dimensional space. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Seeing that, the purple-striped water spider squinted its eight eyes and thought, ¡®Why are they hovering there?¡¯ ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ However, it didn¡¯t take much time for the purple-striped water spider to realize that Leo didn¡¯t teleport and was still in front of him.-. ¡®Does he have the talent that can make him invisible?¡¯ It was the first thought in the purple-striped water spider¡¯s head. [Sleep-inducing poison darts] To test his assumption, the purple spider released more than a dozen poison darts at the ce where its des were hovering. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Looks like it is not a [Invisible] talent.¡¯ Seeing that the poison dart didn¡¯t hit any target, the purple spider concluded his assumption was wrong. ¡®Is he hiding using a space-rted talent?¡¯ That was the second assumption the purple spider made and thought, ¡®If he is really using that, there is nothing I can do about it.¡¯ Even though the purple-striped water spider was a supreme-ranked beast, it didn¡¯t have the power to attack someone hiding in the other dimension. Not only the purple-striped water spider, but most of the supreme-ranked beings didn¡¯t have that kind of ability. Only the talents and the skills rted to the space could counter the spatial talents and skills. That¡¯s why space-rted talents and skills were special and given more importance than normal talents. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As the purple-stripe water spider thought of a n to catch Leo, it saw its eight des move a little before stopping. ¡®Huh? Is he moving inside his secret dimension?¡¯ That was the only possible reason why its des moved. ording to its attack, once the target is set, they would follow before killing him no matter where the target goes. Since its current target was Leo, if Leo moves in the other dimension, the des will follow him. However, the only problem for the purple spider was that the des couldn¡¯t pierce space. ¡®Even though he could hide in the secret dimensional space, I don¡¯t think he could hide in it forever, right?¡¯ Suddenly, the purple-striped water spider thought of something and became excited. ¡®I just need to be patient and wait for that wild human toe out of the secret dimensional space. Once he gets out, I am going to nicely wrap him in my special spider silk before eating him.¡¯ When it thought about eating Leo, the purple-striped water spider could not help but be excited. ¡­. Inside the secret dimensional space, ¡®Damn it¡­it looks like the purple-striped water spider found out my talent.¡¯ Looking at the eight des hovering outside the secret dimensional space, Leo could not help but be slightly anxious. Until now, Leo was fooling the water spider with his [Space Maniption]; however, it could not fool it anymore because it found out that Leo could not only teleport, but he could also hide in the secret dimensional space. Even though his secret dimensional space was very useful against the powerful opponents, it would be useless if his opponents discovered that he had toe out of the secret dimensional space every five minutes. ¡®What should I do now?¡¯ The eight sharp des would slice him into pieces when Leoes out of the secret dimensional space. If he moved in the secret dimensional space, the des followed him, giving out his hiding ce to the purple-striped water spider. ¡°I don¡¯t know you have multiple space-rted talents; however, you are going to die the moment youe out of the secret dimensional space.¡± As Leo was thinking of a ce to block the eight sharp des, the purple-striped water spider spoke loudly. It was sure that Leo could listen to its words. Hence, the purple-striped water spider wanted to use this opportunity to scare Leo. ¡°If you are going to kill me, then the ming Lion Race¡¯ Heir will also die along with me.¡± Suddenly, Leo thought of something and replied to the purple-striped water spider. ¡°Huh? He has the Heir?¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, the purple spider squinted its eyes and looked at the group of rank 9 water spiders that were in the water. ¡°Captain, the Heir is missing.¡± Soon, one of the water spiders checked the prison den and informed the purple-striped water spider. ¡°Good. Now that you got the confirmation, do you still want to kill me and the Heir?¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for the purple-striped water spider to say anything as he proposed a deal, ¡°As long as you cancel your ultimate skill, I will send the Heir out of the secret dimensional space.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The purple-striped water spider remained silent and started thinking about Leo¡¯s deal. ¡°I don¡¯t have much time. Tell me whether you ept the deal or not. If you don¡¯t ept the deal, then I will kill the Heir and his father the ming Lion King will exterminate all the water spiders in the Abandon Sea.¡± Leo knew that the water spiders didn¡¯t harm the cub because of the cub¡¯s father, the ming Lion King. So, he wanted to use it to escape from the purple-striped water spider. ¡°Haha¡± However, unexpected to Leo¡¯s expectations, he saw the purple-striped water spiderugh before hearing, ¡°Do you know where my mother and the rest of the supreme-ranked water spiders went?¡± ¡°They went to destroy the ming Lion Race along with the other two beast rulers. So, I don¡¯t have to agree to your deal because, after today, the ming Lions will be history.¡± ¡®Ding, The host stayed in the secret dimensional space for five minutes and will be kicked out soon. ¡®What? It¡¯s already five minutes?¡¯ **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 140 Entering the Spider Queens Den Looking at the sudden system notification, Leo became anxious because he didn¡¯t expect his five minutes of staying inside the secret dimensional space was already over. ¡®Damn it¡­the purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t agree to the deal. Is it really not worried about the Heir?¡¯ Leo frowned, and he couldn¡¯t believe that the purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t care about the Heir anymore. ¡®Wait a second¡­if he really didn¡¯t care, why would they bother to kidnap it in the first ce, unless¡­.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Amid his thinking, Leo felt a huge suction force pulling him out of the secret dimensional space. [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] Leo knew he could not win against such a powerful suction force and could not stay in the secret dimensional space anymore unless he went out once. ¡°Roar¡± Soon, Leo transformed into less than a half-a-meter lion and roared at the purple-striped water spider. Since his talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] was only at level 4, he was a little bigger than the lion cub; however, he was sure that the purple-striped water spider would not doubt it.-. ¡®Stop¡¯ The moment Leo came out as a Heavenly ming lion, the eight des rushed toward him with an intent to kill him. However, the purple-striped water spider stopped the des because the spider mother ordered him to take care of the lion cub as it was their ticket to stay alive if they failed to exterminate the ming lions. ¡®He will think the cub might be using some enhancement talent.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s head as he spoke, ¡°Are you sure you want to kill me, the Heir of the ming Lion Race?¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, the purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t bother to reply; instead, he shot white-coloured spider silk that wrapped around the heavenly ming lion. ¡°I will kill you after the Mother returns.¡± Looking at the ming lion that waspletely wrapped in the spider silk, the purple-striped water spider scoffed. ¡®Looks like he must have escaped already.¡¯ After taking care of the ming lion, the purple-striped water spider looked at the ce where its eight des hovered earlier and twitched its jaws. Once the purple-striped water spider cancels its attack, it must leave its scent on the target again. Moreover, it needed some time to recover its energy before using its ultimate attack again. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Soon, the eight de-like legs of the purple-striped water spider attached to its body, and it could finally move. ¡°Everyone, there is no need to search for him. Even if you find him, you are out of his league as he could kill you easily.¡± After fighting with Leo for a few minutes, the purple-striped water spider learned that he could even threaten the normal level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders, not to mention the rank 9 water spiders that Leo could easily kill. So, it didn¡¯t want to sacrifice its minions unnecessarily. ¡°Yes, Captain.¡± All the rank 9 water spiders nodded before leaving from there. ¡°This human is trying to take away the cub. It is no longer safe to cage it in the normal den.¡± Once it found out that Leo had already escaped and it had no way to find out in which corner he was hiding, the purple-striped water spider stopped thinking about him. Instead, it looked at the one-meter ming lion fully wrapped in the white spider silk and decided to cage it in some secure location. ¡®The only secure ce in the entire ¡®Abandoned sea¡¯ is Mother¡¯s Den.¡¯ Soon, its eight eyes looked at the huge multi-coloured den in the distance and silently thought in its head. The mother den is where the spider queen rests, and it has a powerful formation that could even make it impossible for the level 5 supreme ranked beings to enter, much less a rank 9 human hero. Therefore, it decided to throw the ming lion heir until the spider mother and others return from the war against the ming Lion Race. ¡®However, why does it look different from when I first captured it?¡¯ While moving towards the spider queen¡¯s den, the purple-striped water spider thought about the lion cub¡¯s appearance. The differences between the transformed Leo and the lion cub were apparent because Leo transformed into Heavenly ming Lion and not into a normal ming Lion. So, it looked more majestic than the ming lion cub. ¡®Looks like the growth of the Heir is much faster than I thought.¡¯ The purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t think much about it because there was only one lion heir in the Beas, and he was sure that the one he captured right now was the Heir of the ming Lion Race. ¡®Where is he taking me to?¡¯ As for Leo, he didn¡¯t make any surprise attacks on the purple-striped water spider anymore because he knew it was useless against it. Moreover, he was curious about the ce where the water spider was taking him to. So, he decided to wait and see. ¡®Open¡¯ Soon, they reached a huge water den with multiple colours, and he saw the purple-striped water spider put four of its sharp legs in the four holes in the huge door.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the huge doors opened as the purple-striped water spider entered it. ¡°I think it is better to cage him in the left mother¡¯s room.¡± After walking for a few minutes, there were two huge doors. Seeing those two doors, the purple-striped water spider thought for a moment before selecting the left one and opening it. ¡®What is this ce?¡¯ Leo observed everything around him with a curious look. ¡°You are not allowed to see the insides of the mother¡¯s halls.¡± While saying that, the spider released more spider silk to turn Leo into a mummy. ¡°Stay here.¡± After that, it threw Leo, who was in the heavenly ming lion form, on the ground and closed the huge doors before leaving it. ¡®Fire w¡¯ As soon as the water spider left, Leo transformed back into a human beforeing out of spider silk. ¡°Th..these are¡­.¡± Leo was shocked at the things he had seen in the hall. **** Want Bonus Chapters? Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book. Chapter 141 Flaming Lion King In the hall, there were thousands of small transparent balls. Each of these transparent balls was filled with liquid, and hundreds of particle-sized insects floated around in it. ¡®These are all¡­.eggs, right?¡¯ Looking at the information sent by the system regarding those transparent balls filled with liquid and insects, Leo was shocked at first. However, in the next second, he had thought of something making him hopeful. ¡®From the looks of it, they look very much alive. If I destroy them, I wonder whether they can be counted into the mission [Spider Killer].¡¯ [Absolute Devour] Without wasting any time, Leo summoned the devil¡¯s mouth and causally devoured five eggs around the size of a football within no time. ¡®Ding, The host killed and devoured 623 water spiders. ¡®Ding, No [Promote Points] gained. ¡®Ding, No new Talents or Skills are awakened. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, making him shake his head in disappointment. ¡®As I expected, it is useless.¡¯ Even though he was already expecting that it was useless to devour the spider eggs, he wanted to confirm it, and he confirmed it. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the second target in the mission [Spider Killer].-. ¡®Ding, Kill 500 water spiders (Completed). ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) 1.5 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) 15 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Mighty Combustion]. ¡®What?¡¯ Just as he thought devouring the spider eggs was useless, he received a series of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him. ¡®So what if I don¡¯t get [Promote points] or awaken any new talents or skills? I am happy I can get something out of these eggs.¡¯ Suppressing his excitement, Leo checked out the two rewards, from which he could only pick one. ¡®Even though the percent of the potential increment has increased, the talent changed from [Space Maniption] to [Mighty Combustion].¡¯ Leo was hoping to upgrade his [Space Maniption] to level 9; however, he didn¡¯t expect that the talent had changed. ¡®Nevertheless, I don¡¯t mind upgrading the [Mighty Combustion] to level 9.¡¯ Without thinking much, Leo picked the second option before leaving Level 9 [Call of the Undead]. ¡®Ding, Mighty Combustion (level 8), Potential (20/100). Compared to [Space Manipuation], Leo used [Mighty Combustion] rtively less. So, even with the 15 percent increase in its potential, the [Mighty Combustion] still has less potential. ¡®Ding, Do you want to continue the mission ¡®Spider Killer¡¯ or abort the mission? ¡®Why would I stop the mission when I have so many eggs around me?¡¯ Leo chuckled as he looked at thousands of eggs around him, and there were more than a hundred small spiders in each egg. If Leo could devour all the eggs, he might be killing around one million water spiders or even more. ¡®Who would have thought that the purple-striped waster spider would be so nice to imprison me in this hall.¡¯ With a slight smile, Leo thanked the purple-striped water spider before saying, ¡®It¡¯s devouring time.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host devoured and killed 100 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host¡­ ¡®Ding, The¡­ Leo devoured one egg after another as the system notifications rang in his head. He only stopped when he received the system notifications rted to the mission. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the third target in the mission [Spider Killer]. ¡®Ding, Kill 1000 water spiders (Completed). ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) 2 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) 20 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Space Maniption]. ¡®[Space Maniption] is back.¡¯ Leo was excited to look at the two options because his favourite talent was back and, without hesitation, picked it. ¡®Ding, Space Maniption (level 8), Potential (41/100). ¡®I am already halfway into level 8. Let¡¯s not waste any time.¡¯ Looking at the 20 percent increase in the [Space Maniption] only gave him more motivation to devour more water spider eggs. ¡­. In the Emberfields, Emberfields is the territory of the ming Lions, and currently, the entire Emberfields is turned upside down because of the fact that their Heir has gone missing for half a day now. ¡°Roar¡± A heaven-defying roar resounded in the entire Emberfield, followed by a majestic voice, ¡°Find the Heir even if we have to destroy the other three regions or sweep the entire wilderness.¡± ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡°Yes, Your Majesty.¡± The rank 9 ming lions roared back in response before following their Supreme-ranked Generals and Captains. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Moo¡¯ ¡®Tik tik¡¯ Before these ming lions could leave their territory, they saw the other three rulers of the Beas were waiting for them along with their minions. ¡°Everyone, step back.¡± Even though the ming lions were proud, the supreme-ranked ming lions didn¡¯t mind taking a step back and waiting for the orders from their King. ¡°Fury, we have enough of your domination in the Beas. It is time for you to meet your end.¡± Among the four rulers of the Beas, if the ¡®ming Lion King¡¯ was the strongest one, then the ¡®Mother of the Water Spiders¡¯ was the second strongest and the leader of the triad. Therefore, it spoke on behalf of the three beast rulers. ¡°If you give my son back, I will overlook your rudeness and let you and your minions live in this Beas.¡± In the next moment, a majestic voice resounded from the depths of the Emberfields as a 10-meter huge ming lion that emitted bright red-coloured mes appeared in everyone¡¯s view. ¡°Good. Since you already found out that we have your son, then it saves us the trouble of exining it.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant scoffed at the ming Lion King. ¡°Fury, if you kill yourself, we will let you son and your entire race live. So, choose what you want to do.¡± The third beast ruler Zephyr Gaint Eagle also warned the Lion King, asking him tomit suicide. ¡°Haha¡­do you think I am a fool to believe those words?¡± Fury, the ming Lion King, chuckled at their words and said, ¡°The moment I disappear, my entire race will be eliminated. So, be it, if you want to kill my son, then go ahead and kill. I will ensure no one from the three beast races survives in the Beas.¡± As soon as he finished his words, Fury released fiery mes, and the three beast rulers unconsciously took a step back as they felt the mes around the Heavenly Lion King had be even more powerful than thest time they fought. ¡°He became a level 9 Supreme rank beast hero.¡± Only when the ming Lion King released his mes, they realized that he had a breakthrough in his strength. ¡°There is no need to fear him. If we work together, we can easily defeat and kill him.¡± Mother of the Water Spiders hurriedly suppressed the fear inside her heart and encouraged the other two beast rulers to work together. ¡°Yes, We can kill him.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t let a single ming lion live.¡± Soon, the three beast rulers ordered their minions as they rushed toward the ming Lion King. ¡°Sutin, Riseth, and Nora, I will make you regret messing with me¡­roar.¡± Fury roared at the three iing bestial rulers and rushed towards them along with all the ming lions. ¡­.

Chapter 142 [Fire Wyvern Claw] In the spider queen¡¯s den, ¡®Ding, The host devoured and killed 100000 water spiders. No [Promote Potion] gained. No new talents or skills are acquired. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the sixth target in the mission [Spider Killer]. ¡®Ding, Kill 100000 water spiders (Completed). As the four beast rulers were fighting in the Emberfields, Leo was on a devouring spree as hepleted the fourth and fifth targets in the mission and even reached the sixth target. When hepleted the fourth target, which was 5000 kills, he picked a 25 percent potential increase for [Might Combustion]. As for the fifth targetpletion reward, he chose a 30 percent potential increase for [Space Maniption]. In the first option, level 9 [Call of the Undead] always remained; however, Leo only chose level 8 talents because when special talents [Mighty Combustion] and [Space Maniption] reached level 9, they unlocked an additional effect. ¡®Moreover, just because reaching 100 percent in level 9 talents doesn¡¯t make me a Supreme ranked hero. So, I should focus on the level 8 talents and gain additional effects.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s mind as he always picked option 2.-. ¡®Also, if I pick option 1, it will change to the other level 9 talent. In the end, other than a little bit of the potential in the level 9 talent, my battle prowess will remain the same.¡¯ Leo shook his head as he waited for the rewards for his sixth time targetpletion. ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) 3 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) 35 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Mighty Combustion]. Without any thinking, Leo picked the second option, just like always. ¡®Ding, Mighty Combustion (level 8), Potential (80/100). ¡®Just 20 percent more and it will be upgraded to level 9.¡¯ Leo smiled as he looked around, ¡°There are still a few thousand eggs in the hall. I hope I can upgrade both my talents to level 9.¡± Soon, Leo started devouring the eggs with the devil¡¯s mouth on his left palm. ¡®Looks like it will take some time toplete the next target in the mission. I think I can resume my Skill-Merger of the ws now.¡¯ To devour the eggs, Leo didn¡¯t have to think much. All he needed to do was walk closer to the eggs and ce his hand on them. Also, the sixth target for the mission [Spider Killer] needed him to kill one hundred thousand water spiders. So, he was sure that the seventh target would need him to kill five hundred thousand water spiders. ¡®Ding, Do you want to merge the level 9 skills [Fire w] and [Wyvern w]? Sensing his thoughts, the system asked Leo about the merger. ¡®Yes. Merge them.¡¯ Right now, Leo wanted as much increase as possible in his battle prowess so that he could kill the purple-stripe water spider before leaving the Abandoned sea. Along with the new effects that his soon-to-be level 9 talents would unlock, Leo thought that merging skills would also boost his strength. Therefore, he merged both w-type skills. ¡®Ding, The two level 9 skills [Fire w] and [Wyvern w] have sessfully merged into a level 9 [Fire Wyvern w]. Within no time, the two skills were merged into a new skill with the same level as those two skills. ¡®Ding, Skill name: Fire Wyvern w (Level 9). Effect: 1) Upon sessful sh, it leaves 200 percent additional damage on the target. 2) The target will receive burn damage for one minute, which decreases their strength and defense during that one minute. ¡®200 percent more damage than my actual damage?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste time checking out the newly merged kill, and he revealed a cold smile before thinking, ¡®Even though 200 percent additional damage might be not enough to kill the purple-striped water spider, what if I can continuously use this skill on it? I will be able to break its defence eventually, right?¡¯ ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the seventh target in the mission [Spider Killer]. ¡®Ding, Kill 500000 water spiders (Completed). ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) 3 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) 35 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Space Maniption]. Time continued to pass as Leo finallypleted the seventh target, and the moment he had been waiting for had finallye. Even though the reward forpleting the sixth and seventh targets remained the same, Leo didn¡¯tin about it as he selected the second option. ¡®Ding, Space Maniption (level 8), Potential (106/100). ¡®Ding, Detected the host¡¯s [Space Maniption] has reached 100 percent of its potential. Upgrading the talent to level 9. ¡®Ding, Space Maniption (level 9), Potential (0.6 /100). ¡®Finally, it upgraded to level 9.¡¯ Since the talents [Space Maniption] and [Mighty Combustion] are the special talents mutated once, the regr talent upgrading stones were useless. So, he thought it would take at least a few months to upgrade them to level 9 if he repeatedly used those two talents. However, with the help of the mission [Spider Killer] and the spider eggs, it became a piece of cake for Leo to upgrade his talents to level 9. ¡®Even though I am yet to upgrade the [Mighty Combustion] to level 9, it will not take much time to upgrade it.¡¯ With that, he continued to devour the eggs and checked the changes in level 9 [Space Maniption]. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Space Maniption (level 9) Effects: 1) The user can teleport anywhere within a 10-kilometer radius. 2) The user can distort the space within a 10-meter radius to dodge the attacks or temporarily create a secret dimensional space to hide and move in that space. 3) The user can create a dimensional portal space to store the non-living things. 4) The user can instantly teleport to a ce within a 1000-kilometer radius as long as he left visited and opened a secret dimensional space once in that ce. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters.

Effects: 4) The user can instantly teleport to a ce within a 1000-kilometer radius as long as he left visited and opened a secret dimensional space once in that ce. ¡®Teleportation within a 1000-kilometer radius?¡¯ Leo raised his brows before thinking of the uses of the newly awakened effect. ¡®If I had this effect, I could have visited Phirie city much sooner. Nevertheless, it is not toote as I can still use it to travel between the cities I have visited previously.¡¯ Even though there were no changes in the first three effects of the [Space Maniption], Leo was satisfied with the new effect, which could make things easier after returning to his world. ¡®Even though I can¡¯t use the newly awakened effect to kill the purple-striped water spider, I was not expecting any attack-type effect from the [Space Maniption] to begin with.¡¯ The main use of the talent [Space Maniption] was to assist him in teleportation, store the non-living things, hide from the powerful enemies and sneak up on the enemies. ¡®I hope level 9 [Mighty Combustion] will not disappoint me.¡¯ After seeing the new effect of the [Space Maniption], Leo anticipated a powerful effect would awaken for the [Mighty Combustion].-. ¡®Let¡¯s continue. I hope I can finish one more target.¡¯ Leo was sure that in the next target, he had to kill at least one million water spiders; however, the number of water spider eggs in the hall looked low, making Leo slightly worried. Nevertheless, he was not sure about it as only time would tell whether it would be enough or not. ¡­.. In the Emberfields, ¡®What is happening?¡¯ ¡®How is he so powerful?¡¯ ¡®Even with ourbined forces, why can¡¯t we defeat him?¡¯ The three beast rulers of the Beas were fully covered in injuries as they looked at the ming Lion King, who was standing in front of them with a fearful look in their eyes. ¡°You have already lost 50 percent of your forces. Do you still want to continue?¡± Fury looked at the three beast rulers and scoffed at them. ¡°¡­¡± Nora and the other beast rulers remained silent as they angrily looked at the ming Lion King. ¡°My earlier offer still stands. As long as you return my son, I will let you live. As long as you are alive, you can increase your strength ande back to kill him.¡± Earlier, Fury acted like he had given up on his son; however, it was just an act to scare the three beast rulers. That¡¯s the reason why he was able to defeat the three of them. ¡°I thought you gave up on your son. However, it looks like you still care for your son, the only heir with the bloodline of Heavenly ming Lion. As long as¡­.¡± Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant, felt like they got the upper hand again and decided to use it to defeat Fury. ¡°Heavenly ming w.¡± Before he could finish his words, Fury swiped at the tyrant¡¯s head, breaking the two long horns on his head. ¡°If you dare to threaten me again, I will aim at your throat this time.¡± Fury¡¯s majestic voice resounded as Sutin shuddered at his words. ¡°So, are you going to return my son or leave your lives here?¡± Fury asked them calmly, but the three beast rulers could sense how serious the ming Lion King was. Nora looked at Fury before looking at a group of supreme-ranked ming lions standing behind Fury. As though she received some kind of response, Nora nodded her spider head at Fury¡¯s deal. ¡°Swear upon your Beast Gods that you will not wage a war against us for the next 100 years.¡± The three beast rulers had already discussed what to do in case their n failed, and that¡¯s why they kidnapped Fury¡¯s son in the first ce. ¡®Even though we are not able to kill him, we can survive for 100 years without any worries.¡¯ The three beast rulers thought as they waited for the ming Lion King to swear upon the beast god. ¡°I, Fury, the ming Lion King swear upon the Heavenly ming Lion God that I will not harm these three beast rulers and their subordinates for the next 100 years if they return my son to me without any harm.¡± Fury didn¡¯t waste any time as he swore in his majestic voice. ¡®Roar¡¯ In the next second, a huge ming lion phantom appeared in the sky and roared at Fury. ¡°Heavenly ming Lion God has epted my oath. Now, it is your turn to swear to your gods, then I will let you go from here.¡± After the phantom disappeared, Fury asked the three bestial rulers to do the same, so he could let them leave the EmberFields. Like Leo¡¯s world has the otherworld beings called ¡®Gods¡¯, the Beas had its own set of Gods who left their legacies in the world. However, unlike Leo¡¯s world, the Beas didn¡¯t lose their history, and the four rulers could contact their Gods in emergencies because they are the descendants of those four Beast Gods. Of course, these Beast Gods could not descend onto the Beas to help their descendants; however, they could help them with the things that didn¡¯t require their descent. ¡°Also swear that if you fail to return my son, I can enter your region without any restrictions.¡± Fury didn¡¯t forget to add a condition where he could kill them without spending much energy. The regions ruled by the four bestial rulers have the protection of their Beast God, who restricts the entry of the other bestial rulers to enter their territory without permission. If they entered without permission, their strength would decrease by 50 percent. Even though Fury still has a way to enter the other bestial rulers¡¯ territories, it would require much energy. ¡°What?¡± The three bestial rulers frowned when they heard Fury¡¯s additional condition. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 144 Multi-Coloured Egg ¡°You can¡¯t even promise to return my son safely for your 100 years of survival?¡± Fury scoffed at them and asked in a serious tone, ¡°Did something happen to my son?¡± ¡°No. There is not a single injury on him.¡± Nora hurriedly replied and swore an oath on the Winged Spider God. ¡°I, Nora, the Mother of the Water Spiders¡­¡± ¡°I, Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant¡­¡± ¡°I, Riseth, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle¡­¡± Soon, the remaining two bestial rulers swore in their respective gods¡¯ presence, promising they would return the ¡®ming Lion¡¯s Heir with Bloodline¡¯ without harm. Moreover, they even added the condition mentioned by the ming Lion King. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Mooh¡¯ ¡®Trrr¡¯ The three huge phantoms of the beast gods appeared in the sky, assuring the ming Lion King.-. ¡°Good. You can leave now. I want my son by tonight.¡± After hearing their oaths, Fury didn¡¯t worry about his son and returned to his Majestic Fiery Den. ¡®I hope they keep their promise. I don¡¯t want to kill them as it will only harm the Beas.¡¯ Fury silently muttered to himself in his den and closed his eyes to sleep. For a grade 1 world like Beas, having more supreme-ranked beast heroes was important. Without enough powerful beast heroes, it was impossible to pass the next assessment. ¡­. ¡°Damn it¡­he is bing more and more powerful with passage of time.¡± The three bestial rulers ordered their subordinates to return to their territories as they started a small meeting for themselves. ¡°Nora, are you sure that you can rece Fury in the next 100 years?¡± Riseth asked with a doubtful look. After seeing how powerful the ming Lion King had be, Riseth and Sutin started doubting Nora¡¯s n to eliminate the ming Lions from the Beas and rece them. ¡°Even though Fury is bing more and more powerful, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Nora¡¯s eight eyes shone purple light as she continued, ¡°I have already collected the drop of the ming Lion¡¯s Heir and merged them with my special egg.¡± ¡°I also collected the blood of the various wild monsters in our world and infused them into that egg. With the boost from the Heir¡¯s blood, it will not take much time for the egg to hatch.¡± The spider queen again exined her n to the other two bestial rulers. ¡°Nora, we know your n but does it really work? What can a special spider do?¡± Sutin asked the Spider Queen. He was still feeling scared after losing his long horns. ¡®These idiot.¡¯ Nora cursed the two bestial rulers as sheughed and said, ¡°Haha¡­you still didn¡¯t understand how powerful my child will be.¡± ¡°The moment it hatches out of the egg, it will be a supreme-ranked beast hero and as long as it consumes the treasures in the wilderness, it will be the strongest beast hero in the Beas. Moreover, we don¡¯t have to worry about the future world assessment anymore.¡± ¡°Really? It will be born as a Supreme-ranked beast hero?¡± Sutin and Riseth were shocked because Nora didn¡¯t inform them about this thing. ¡°Excellent. We will provide you with the natural treasures from our territories and help you in nurturing it.¡± Soon, the two bestial rulers became excited and promised to supply the treasures from their territories. ¡­. In the Spider Queen¡¯s hall, ¡®Ding, The host killed and devoured 100000 water spiders. No [Promote points] are gained. Leo was oblivious to the things that happened between the four bestial rulers of the Beas as he continued devouring the water spider eggs. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Water Resitance]. ¡®What? A new talent?¡¯ Leo was not expecting to awaken a new talent because the chances of awakening a talent or skill from devouring the water spider were reduced to one percent. Moreover, he was devouring the water spider eggs, not the rank 9 water spiders. So, Leo¡¯s chances of awakening a talent or skill would be further reduced, making it impossible to awaken anything. However, the system informed him that he had awakened a new talent. ¡®Ding, Until now, the host has devoured more than 750000 water spiders. So, there is no need for the host to get surprised. ¡®That¡¯s right! I devoured many water spiders.¡¯ Finally, Leo was not surprised anymore and thought, ¡®So, if I devour thousands of beasts or monsters from the same race, even if they were only rank 1, I will awaken a talent or skill for sure, right?¡¯ With such a revtion, Leo became excited and knew what to do in the future to gain more talents or skills. ¡®However, I don¡¯t think I canplete the next target with the remaining water spider eggs.¡¯ Looking at the 100 or so eggs in front of him, Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®It looks like I need to go and kill more water spiders.¡¯ Leo was expecting that his rewards from the mission [Spider Killer] would be worthwhile after killing one million water spiders. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste any time as he continued devouring the remaining eggs while checking out the information on his new talent. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Water Resistance (Level 1). Talent Type: Passive. Effect: The effects of the water-type attacks will be decreased by 5 percent. ¡®Upgrade to level 4.¡¯ With a single thought, Leo spent 13000 [Promote points] and upgraded it to level 4 and the effect changed from 5 percent to 30 percent. ¡®A passive? Not bad.¡¯ Leo nodded as he liked passive talents and skills more. ¡®Ding, The system detected a special egg. Please check the information on the egg before devouring it. From the beginning, Leo was not looking at the spider eggs while devouring them; instead, he was checking his talents and skills while nning his future. So, he didn¡¯t notice an egg that looked different from the other eggs. Nevertheless, the system was there to help him. ¡®Huh? A special egg?¡¯ Leo was surprised by the sudden system notification and saw a multi-coloured egg. ¡®It indeed looks like a special one.¡¯ With that thought, Leo checked the information on the egg, only to be shocked by the data provided by the system. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 145 Rainbow-Coloured Spider Egg ¡®Ding, Item name: Rainbow-Coloured Spider Egg. Item grade: Supreme-ranked. More Information: A Tri-coloured spiderling wille out of the egg with the strength of a level 1 Supreme beast hero with a limitless potential to evolve into a Rainbow-coloured spider. ¡®A supreme-ranked egg? Born with the strength of a level 1 supreme beast hero?¡¯ The fact that it was a supreme-ranked egg didn¡¯t surprise Leo much; however, what surprised him the most was the spiderling thates out of the egg would have the strength of a supreme beast hero. ¡®While others were dying to be elite heroes, it was born as a supreme-ranked beast hero.¡¯ Leo shook his head, dropping his blood on the egg without thinking much. ¡®Ding, The host has formed a connection with the egg. Analyzing the hatching time for the egg. The moment Leo¡¯s blood fell on the egg, it disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, the system notification rang in his head. ¡®Ding,-. Analysisplete. The egg will hatch in a month. ¡®One month? It¡¯s not long.¡¯ One month is not a long time for such an invaluable egg to hatch. Moreover, Leo didn¡¯t mind waiting for a supreme-ranked spiderling that woulde out of the egg. ¡®Not only my chances of taking revenge on my parents¡¯ killer will increase but it will help me a lot for the uing world assessment.¡¯ Even though taking revenge was important, Leo didn¡¯t forget about the world assessment as he didn¡¯t want his siblings to die during the assessment or end up as wild humans in some random world. ¡®Even though I thought to prepare for the world assessment once I take care of my revenge, it is not a bad thing to gather some powerful supreme-ranked beings.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo stored the egg and devoured the remaining few spider eggs left in the hall. ¡®I think I am still short of one hundred thousand kills or something toplete the eighth target.¡¯ Until now, he had killed around 900000 water spiders, and ording to his guess, he had to kill one million water spiders to gain the rewards from the mission [Spider Killer]. ¡®What should I do now? Should I go out and kill rank 9 water spiders?¡¯ However, in the next second, he rejected that thought. Even though killing rank 9 water spiders is a piece of cake for Leo, he knew killing one hundred thousand of them was not an easy task. Moreover, there is still a purple-striped water spider, who might kill him this time using its ultimate attack. ¡®By now, it must have recovered its energy. It is wise to stay away from it until I upgrade my [Mighty Combustion] to levl 9; however, to do that, I need to kill the water spiders.¡¯ Leo racked his brain to devise a good n to reach the next target. ¡®Since it was the Spider Queen¡¯s hall, there must be something useful, right?¡¯ Soon, he realized where he was and started searching the hall to find something useful. ¡®What kind of queen is it? Can¡¯t it store a few treasures inside its hall?¡¯ However, after searching for a while, Leo was annoyed at the spider queen for not keeping any valuable treasures. ¡®Trr trr¡¯ ¡®Huh? What are those noises?¡¯ Suddenly, he heard faint noises as he stared at the wall, ¡®It ising from the other side of the wall.¡¯ Leo ced his head close to the wall and carefully listened to the chattering noises from the other side of the hall. ¡®Wait a second¡­I think I know what is on the other side of the wall.¡¯ Leo only took a few seconds to figure out what was on the other side of the wall and soon became excited. ¡®It looks like I am going to finish the mission without any problem.¡¯ With a cold smile, Leo stretched his body a little before using [Spectre]. ¡®It¡¯s time to work again.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo passed through the wall using his ghost skill. ¡­ Outside the Spider Queen¡¯s den, ¡°How did it go? Did we lose against the ming Lions?¡± Even after imprisoning the ming lion cub (in its perspective), the purple-striped water spider was worried that Leo mighte back and steal it from the Spider Queen¡¯s den. So, it decided to wait in front of the Spider Queen¡¯s den at the same time, the purple-striped water spider thought it could capture Leo. However, it didn¡¯t see Leo; instead, it saw the 20 spider captains and generals that left with the Spider Queen return with a depressed look in their eyes. ¡°Yes. We also lost 50 percent of our brothers and sisters.¡± One of the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders replied. ¡°However, we made a deal with the ming lions that they would not wage a war against any of the three bestial races for the next 100 years.¡± ¡°Yes. At least mother cane up with a n within the next 100 years to take over the Beas.¡± The water spiders convinced themselves that the deal was good as their mother, the Spider Queen could devise a n within the next 100 years. ¡°By the way, the Heir is safe, right? If something happens to it, it is the end of us.¡± Soon, one of the level 3 Supreme-ranked water spiders asked the purple-striped water spider in a serious tone. ¡°Yes, General. It is safe. I imprisoned it in the mother¡¯s resting hall along with the other hall.¡± The purple-striped water spider was respectful towards that water spider because it had a higher title than its title. ¡°Good. We need to return it by tonight. Give it some food and make it look like we have taken good care of it.¡± The first spider general nodded before saying, ¡°I have spent too much energy during the fight earlier. So I will go and rest now.¡± ¡°Level 1 captains, take care of the Heir.¡± Soon, level 2 spider captains also left from there, putting the level 1 spider captains in charge of Heir. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The level 1 spider captains didn¡¯tin and followed their orders to enter the spider queen¡¯s hall. ¡°Where are the eggs and most importantly where is the Heir?¡± **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 146 Ten Level 1 Spider Captains There were a total of 21 supreme-ranked water spiders under the Spider Queen. Depending on their levels in the supreme rank, they were ssified into two positions, Spider Captains and Spider Generals. Among the 21 supreme-ranked water spiders, 10 were level 1 supreme ranked beast heroes, and 8 were level 2 supreme ranked beast heroes. In addition, they have the titles of level 1 captain and level 2 captain respectively. As for the remaining three water spiders, they were the Spider Generals with the strength of level 5, level 4, and level 3 supreme rank, and their titles were first, second, and the third general, respectively. Since the level 1 captains were the lowest among the supreme-ranked water spiders, so the other supreme-ranked water spiders ordered them around. ¡°Where are the eggs and most importantly where is the Heir?¡± Looking at the empty hall, all the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders were shocked and soon became anxious. Without the spider eggs, the water spider race would fall behind one generation; without the Heir, their entire race would be wiped out by the ming Lions. So, both are important; however, the ming lion¡¯s Heir is a little bit more important than the eggs. ¡°Idiot, what did you do when we left the territory?¡± Soon, the nine level 1 spider captains looked at the purple-striped water spider and furiously asked it.-. Since the purple-striped water spider was the only one who could enter the Spider Queen¡¯s den when they left the territory with their mother, they asked him what it did. ¡°Other than fully wrapping the Heir with my silk and throwing it in this hall, I did nothing.¡± The purple-striped water spider was equally surprised when it saw the empty hall. ¡°Why did you throw the ming Lion¡¯s Heir in the Mother¡¯s resting hall in the first ce?¡± One of the water spiders asked why the purple-striped water spider changed the location of the Heir. ¡°It was that wild human¡­.¡± Since the purple-striped water spider was in charge of the territory, naturally, he would be responsible for the spider eggs and the Heir. However, not only the spider eggs but even the Heir was missing from the hall, making him anxious. Hence, he exined everything that happened in the territory while the others were fighting the ming Lions. ¡°Human with a space-rted talent?¡± ¡°Even if he hides right in front of us, we can¡¯t sense him?¡± ¡°Are you telling me, he might even be listening to our conversation right now?¡± Once they learned about Leo¡¯s talents and battle prowess, all the level 1 spider captains became serious. ¡°Wait a second¡­I hear something from the other hall.¡± Suddenly, a level 1 spider captain alerted others and said, ¡°I can hear a human voice. I think he is in the other hall.¡± ¡°Looks like he is the same wild human.¡± The purple-striped water spider angrily twitched its jaws. ¡°Let¡¯s go and capture him before he escapes.¡± All the level 1 captains except the purple-striped water spider wanted to rush into the other hall and capture the human to find out what he did to the spider eggs and retrieve the Heir. ¡°Wait. Don¡¯t go.¡± However, the purple-striped water spider stopped them. ¡°Move aside. Are you scared of confronting him? Then just stay in the back, we will take care of him.¡± ¡°Yes. You are just a coward anyway.¡± ¡°Even if we retrevie the eggs and the Heir, you can¡¯t escape your punishment. Once motheres back, I will make sure you will be punished severely.¡± The level 1 spider captains were jealous that the mother always treated the purple-striped water spider with special treatment. So, they wanted to make sure it gets severe punishment. ¡°Idiots. I am not a coward. It is just that I am good at sneak attacks. The purple-striped water spider knew what it was hated by the other level 1 spider captains. So, it was not bothered by their words and replied, ¡°Let¡¯s seal this denpletely and then even if the human uses his space-rted talents, he could not escape from us.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s inject our energy and activate the barrier around this den then.¡± Even though they didn¡¯t like the purple-striped water spider, that doesn¡¯t mean they would not like its idea if they felt it was a good one. Once the barrier gets activated, it would be impossible to leave the den without their permission. Therefore, without wasting any time, they injected the energies into the ground simultaneously, activating a barrier around the spider queen¡¯s den. ¡°Now, let¡¯s go and capture the human.¡± After activating the barrier around the spider queen¡¯s den, the level 1 spider captains didn¡¯t waste any time as they hurriedly rushed into the other hall of the den. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The huge doors of the second hall in the spider queen¡¯s den opened as they saw a human covered in blue-coloured blood standing at one corner of the hall who was chuckling to himself as though something good had happened to him. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Why is this hall empty?¡± ¡°Where did the spiders in this hall go?¡± All the level 1 spider captains were shocked to see that other than a human covered in the water spider¡¯s blood, the entire hall was empty, just like the hall where the spider queen used toy eggs. ¡°Human, where is the Heir? As long as you give him to us, we might let you leave this ce.¡± Even though all the level 1 spider captains were furious, that suppressed their anger because right now, the ming Lion¡¯s Heir was their top priority. ¡°Heir? What Heir?¡± Leo was calm even after seeing the 10 supreme ranked water spiders in front of him and asked with a cold smile. ¡°The one stored in the other hall. Where did you hide me? In your secret dimensional space?¡± The purple-striped water spider shot its silk at Leo. [Fire Wyvern w] Leo casually swiped at the iing silk and destroyed it before replying with an evil smile, ¡°Let¡¯s have a rematch.

However, in the next second, his shock turned into excitement because the entire hall was filled with water spiders of various sizes with varying strength from rank 1 to rank 8. ¡®Even the heavens want me to be powerful.¡¯ Looking at the hall that was tightly filled with the water spiders, Leo could not help but reveal a cold smile. ¡®It¡¯s time for a massacre.¡¯ [Fire Wyvern w] Without wasting any time, he used his newly merged skill. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Sharp transparent dragon-like ws appeared on Leo¡¯s both hands, releasing fiery mes. ¡®Die¡¯ Even though Leo could kill them all in a single attack with the help of [Mighty Combustion], there would be nothing left for him to devour after that. So, even if it was a little troublesome to kill them without destroying their bodies into nothingness, Leo took this approach as he wanted to upgrade a talent or two from devouring them.-. ¡®Since there seemed to be more than one hundred thousand of them, I can reach thest target. Once Iplete that target, I can put an end to this mission.¡¯ Leo would barelyplete the mission¡¯s eighth target [Spider Killer]. Hence, he decided to end the mission after killing and devouring all the water spiders in the hall. ¡®Ding, The host killed 10000 rank 3 water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host killed 2444 rank 8 water spiders. . . . ¡®Ding, The host gained 5000 [Promote points]. . . ¡®Ding, The host devoured 200 rank 7 water spiders and awakened nothing. . . All Leo did inside the hall was a swipe his [Fire Wyvern ws], and the water spiders would be killed. Since the hall was tightly closed from the outside, the water spiders didn¡¯t have any way to escape from Leo as they died without having a chance to injure Leo. While killing them, Leo gave a break to his left hand and used the [Absolute Devour], which crazily devoured the water spider¡¯s corpses as though it had not eaten anything in thest 100 years. ¡®Ding, The host killed and devoured 10000 water spiders and awakened a new talent [Dual Strike]. ¡®Ding, The system detected simr talents. As for merging them, the decision remains in the host¡¯s hands. After killing and devouring all the water spiders in the hall, Leo received a couple of system notifications, pleasantly surprised. ¡®A new talent. I only need one more talent to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 4.¡¯ So far, Leo has already upgraded five basic talents into elite ones, and now he has another talent. So, he only needs one more talent to upgrade all his level 4 talents into level 7 talents. ¡®The other simr talent must be [One Strike]. To merge them, I have to upgrade the [Dual Strike] to level 4 anyway.¡¯ With a thought, he upgraded his new basic talent into an elite talent. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the eighth target in the mission [Spider Killer]. ¡®Ding, Kill one million water spiders (Completed). ¡®Ding, The host can pick one of the following rewards: 1) 5 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead]. 2) 50 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Mighty Combustion]. However, before he could merge [One Strike] and [Dual Strike], Leo received a series of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile. ¡®I have been waiting for these notifications for a while now.¡¯ Leo was not surprised with thepletion of ¡®killing one million water spiders¡¯ because he kept track of his kills from time to time. ¡®System, show me the potential of the [Call of the Undead].¡¯ Even though he had already decided to pick the second, he wanted to check how much potential his [Call of the Undead] increased since hest checked. ¡®Ding, Call of the Undead (Level 9), Potential (68/100). ¡®Even though I did nothing, the undead summons have increased its potential by 5 percent in a few days. So, why would I pick the first option?¡¯ With thatment, Leo picked the second option. ¡®Ding, Mighty Combustion (level 8), Potential (80/100), + 50 percent increase. ¡®Ding, Mighty Combustion (level 9), Potential (3 /100). ¡®Appraise¡¯ With a thought, the full information about the level 9 [Mighty Combustion] appeared in front of Leo. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Mighty Combustion (Rank 8). Effects:- 1) The user can release a heatwave ranging from one meter to 20 kilometers with a single thought. 2) The user can condense the heatwave around his body to create multiple fireballs that will hit multiple targets within 20 kilometers. 3) The user will create a powerful firestorm that might even injure the low-level supreme ranked beings. Note: After using the third effect, the user should not use the talent [Mighty Combustion] for the next one hour unless he wants to injure himself severely or might kill himself. ¡®Firestorm that can even injure the supreme-ranked beings?¡¯ Looking at the newly unlocked effect of his talent, Leo was excited, and he clenched his fists and thought, ¡®Now, let¡¯s see how I can¡¯t kill the purple-striped water spider.¡¯ Even though Leo was still not fully confident that he could kill the purple-striped water spider on his own, with the newly unlocked effect, he felt he could do some actual damage. ¡®Now, I shoulde up with a strategy to kill the purple-striped water spider.¡¯ Earlier, Leo had fought with the purple-striped water spider for a while. So, he now understood the purple-striped water spider and wanted toe up with the perfect counters for its attacks. ¡®Rumble¡¯ As Leo was thinking about the perfect strategy, he sensed the entire water den shook slightly. ¡®Ding, The barrier around the spider queen¡¯s deen has been activated. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon after, the tightly shut doors of the hall opened as Leo saw 10 level 1 water spiders enter the hall. ¡®When did they return?¡¯ Leo became slightly anxious when he saw the 10 supreme-ranked water spiders; however, at the same time, he received a series of system notifications that made him reveal a cold smile. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 148 Killing the Level 1 Spider Captains(1) ording to the system, except for the purple-striped water spider, the remaining supreme-ranked water spiders have left the territory with the Spider Queen to attack the ming Lions. After fighting with the purple-striped water spider, Leo realized that once these water spiders leave their scent on him, even hiding inside the secret dimensional space would not help him because he had toe out of the secret dimensional space after five minutes. Moreover, even if they didn¡¯t leave their scent on him, they have already activated the barrier around the Spider Queen¡¯s den, making it impossible for him to escape even with the help of the [Space Manipuation]. Therefore, Leo became anxious when he saw 10 level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders enter the hall. ¡®Ding, The host killed one million water spiders. ¡®Ding, The host unlocked a new title [Spider Killer]. Please check the effects of the titles in the user interface. Suddenly, Leo received a couple of system notifications, making him reveal a cold smile. Even though Leo was not sure about the effects of the new title, he could guess them because it was not his first time getting such a title. After killing a special Frost Devil, Leo unlocked his first title in the [Treasurend]. It was [Devil Smasher] that could increase his attack power by 10 percent and, simultaneously, decrease the attacks from the devils on him by 10 percent. Since his newly awakened title said [Spider Killer], it was easy to guess what type of effects it would have. ¡°Human, where is the Heir? If you give him to us, we might let you leave this ce.¡±-. Even though the level 1 spider captains want nothing more than to kill Leo, they suppress it because their entire race¡¯s survival depends on the ming Lion¡¯s Heir. Hence, they asked Leo about the Heir. ¡°Heir? What Heir?¡± However, Leo feigned ignorance as he silently checked the information on his new title. ¡®Ding, Title name: Spider Killer. Effect: 1) All water spiders will have their battle prowess decreased by 50 percent. 2) All spider-type beasts and monsters will have their battle prowess decreased by 25 percent. Note: 1) The effect one and two can¡¯t be stacked. 2) The title can¡¯t be stacked with other titles. ¡®What? 50 percent reduction?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised by the effects of his new title because he didn¡¯t expect it would reduce 50 percent of battle prowess for the water spiders. ¡®That¡¯s not everything. This title is useful against other spider-type beasts and monsters.¡¯ Leo could not help but smile a little at the second effect of the title. Thest section on the holographic screen, ¡®Note¡¯ didn¡¯t surprise Leo much as his previous two titles were also non-stackable. ¡®Ding, The system detected a new title. Do you want to equip it? As soon as he checked the information on his new title, the system asked whether he wanted to equip it. ¡®If [Supreme Killer] and [Spider Killer] could be stacked, I can easily kill these 10 level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders.¡¯ His [Supreme Killer] title could add 10 percent additional damage to the supreme-ranked beings, whereas the [Spider Killer] could decrease 50 percent battle prowess of all water spiders regardless of their rank. Therefore, after hearing the system notification, Leo didn¡¯t think much and equipped the new title because it would greatly help his current situation. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Fire Wyvern w] ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s have a rematch. If you defeat me, I will give you the Heir.¡± Leo casually destroyed the iing spider silk and asked the purple-striped water spider with a cold smile. ¡°Rematch? Sure.¡± The purple-striped water spider looked at Leo for a moment before nodding its head. ¡°However, before that, show us the Heir.¡± Nevertheless, it didn¡¯t forget to ask Leo about the Heir. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a thought, Leo summoned the lion cub out of the beast storage device. ¡°The Heir is alive.¡± ¡°We can survive this ordeal.¡± . . Some level 1 spider captains were excited to see the lion cub was still safe and sound. ¡°Little one, do you want to see something fun?¡± The lion cub had recovered its strength after staying in the beast storage device and looked at the level 1 water spiders before nodding its head at Leo¡¯s words. Even though it didn¡¯t know what Leo nned to do to the level 1 spider captains, it was curious about it. Moreover, the lion cub wanted to know exactly how strong Leo was to say such words in front of 10 supreme-ranked water spiders. ¡°Watch¡± Leo ced the lion cub on the ground and asked it to watch. He was not worried that the water spiders would harm him after seeing how excited they were to see the lion cub alive. [Space Maniption] With a thought, Leo opened a portal into the secret dimensional space and disappeared into it. ¡°The wild human asked for a rematch but hid in his secret dimensional space. What a coward!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s pick the Heir first.¡± ¡°The wild human could not leave this den anyway.¡± ¡°You two keep an eye on the surroundings, the wild human might try touch a sneak attack on one of us.¡± ¡°Haha¡­let him be. Only then, he will learn the difference between a rank 9 hero and a level 1 supreme rank beast hero.¡± The level 1 water spiders mocked Leo for talking so big about the rematch but hiding in his secret dimensional space like a coward. Soon, a group of level 1 spider captains rushed towards Heir to pick him up. ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, unlike the other level 1 spider captains, the purple-striped water spider felt something was wrong. Since it had fought with Leo for quite some time, the purple-striped water spider knew Leo was not the type to give up on something so soon. ¡°Wait a second. It is a trap.¡± Suddenly, the purple-striped water spider remembered the cold smile on Leo¡¯s face earlier and hurriedly shouted at his fellow level 1 spider captains. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 149 Killing the Level 1 Spider Captains(2) Even though the purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t know what type of trap Leo hadid for them, it was sure that it was a bad one for them. So, it hurriedly warned the other level 1 spider captains. ¡°What can a rank 9 human do to us?¡± However, not a single one of them listened to the purple-striped water spider. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before one of the spider captains could pick up the lion cub from the ground, Leo walked out of his secret dimensional space with the quasi-supreme ranked battle-axe in his hand. ¡°What? Why can¡¯t I move?¡± Even the supreme-ranked water spiders looked down on Leo; no one was willing to get hit with such a huge battle-axe at their weakest body part. Hence, it tried to dodge the attack; however, he could not move from its ce. ¡®sh¡¯ As for Leo, he had a calm look on his face as he swung the battle-axe with his full power at the weak link that connects the spider¡¯s abdomen with its head and legs section. ¡®Puchi¡¯ Without any surprise, that level 1 water spider¡¯s body was cut into two from the middle. ¡®Ding, The host has killed a level 1 water spider and gained One [Supreme Promote Point].-. Soon, the system notification regarding the kill rang in his head, informing him about the reward he gained from killing it. ¡®What the¡­even though I knew I could kill it with the help of my new title, I never imagined it would be this easy to kill a level 1 supreme-ranked beast.¡¯ Leo was shocked because the battle-axe went through the water spider¡¯s body so easily that he felt shing through the water. ¡®Is this because of the [Spider Killer]?¡¯ Soon, his shock turned into a cold smile as he looked at the remaining nine level 1 spider captains and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! What can I do to you, the supreme-ranked beast heroes.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Compared to Leo, the level 1 water spiders were more shocked at the death of the supreme-ranked water spider and felt a slight fear in them. ¡°Damn it¡­kill that b*stard.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s kill him and take the Heir afterawards.¡± ¡®Spidersh¡¯ ¡®Poisonspit¡¯ ¡®Silkshot¡¯ ¡®Waterweb¡¯ It took a few seconds toe out of their shock as they finally didn¡¯t take Leo lightly and started attacking him. ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ After seeing his new title¡¯s power, Leo didn¡¯t want to y a cat and mouse game with the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders. Instead, he wanted to face them head-to-head. So, he changed his weapon from the battle-axe to the silver sword. He deflected some with his sword and dodged the remaining attacks. [Weapon Skill ¨C Silver sh] While he was a few meters away from the level 1 spider captains, Leo shed his silver sword and released a silver-coloured light ray. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ Unlike before, the silver ray easily cut through three water spiders before disappearing. ¡®Ding, The host killed three level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders and gained three [Supreme promote points]. Soon, the system notification rang in his head, making him excited. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®How can he kill them so easily?¡¯ ¡®When did killing the supreme-ranked beast heroes be so easy?¡¯ The purple-striped water spider and the remaining five level 1 water spiders became anxious and looked at Leo like a monster. ording to them, even a level 1 supreme human hero would find it difficult to injure the level 1 supreme beast heroes, much less kill them. However, the human in front of him, who seemed to have only rank 9 hero strength was able to kill four level 1 supreme beast heroes in a matter of few seconds. After seeing it, why would they not be anxious since they have the same level of hero rank as their dead friends? ¡®Let¡¯s strike the iron while it is still hot.¡¯ As for Leo, he was excited to kill the supreme-ranked water spiders and increase his speed, and arrived at the remaining level 1 spider captains. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®My legs are stuck in the ground.¡¯ ¡®Is it done by that wild human?¡¯ The level 1 spider captains wanted to move and attack Leo from all corners; however, they realized that their long de-like legs were stuck in the ground. ¡®Where do you think you can go now?¡¯ Leo used the [Earth Maniption] to stop the spider captains from spreading out in various directions. Since all the water spiders would be 50 percent weaker when fighting against him, Leo¡¯s level 9 [Earth Manipuation] was enough to adhere their legs to the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s inform the level 2 captains and the three generals.¡± They learned that the wild human in front of them was not someone they could handle alone. Currently, they were not in a position to move, and their attacks were either dodged or deflected by Leo. Therefore, the only thing they could do right now was to call for help from the strongest water spiders. ¡°Good. I want to see how powerful the other water spiders are; however, too bad, you won¡¯t be alive to see that.¡± If Leo were worried about that, he would have killed all ten water spiders before they could realize what was happening. Since he could easily kill the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders, Leo wanted to test whether he could kill the level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders with the help of the title [Spider Killer]. [Weapon skill ¨C Absolute Pration] ¡®Puchi¡¯ Currently, Leo felt overpowered as he killed the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders without wasting any time and hurriedly killed one spider captain after another within no time. ¡®Ding, The host has killed a level 1 water spider and gained One [Supreme Promote Point]. ¡®Ding, The host¡­ ¡®Ding, Th¡­ ¡®Ding, The barrier around the spider queen¡¯s den disappeared due to the death of the nine level 1 spider captains. Six system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head as he killed the five level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders. Five belonged to the kills, whereas thest one was regarding the barrier around the spider queen¡¯s den. ¡°Now, shall we have a rematch?¡± After killing the nine level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders, Leo looked at thest water spider and asked with a cold smile. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 150 Toying with the Purple-Striped Water Spider Thest level 1 spider captain standing was none other than the purple-striped water spider. Leo intentionally didn¡¯t kill it because he wanted to y with it for some time until the other water spiders arrived. ¡°What do you want? Why didn¡¯t you kill me?¡± Even though it was fearful that Leo didn¡¯t kill it, it felt a little hopeful because as long as it stalled for some time, the level 2 spider captains and generals woulde to its rescue. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say I want a rematch?¡± Leo slowly walked towards the purple-striped water spider and replied. ¡°I admit defeat. You are the winner. Let me live.¡± Whether it was a human or a beast, which living being wants to get killed? As soon as it heard Leo¡¯s words, the purple-striped water spider admitted defeat. After seeing how easily Leo killed the night supreme-ranked water spiders, the purple-striped water spider didn¡¯t have any hope of defeating Leo. Hence, without any hesitation, it admitted defeat. ¡°What? I have great expectations for our fight? Why do you admit defeat already?¡± Leo shook his head in disappointment. ¡°However, if you suppress your strength by 50 percent, I will fight you.¡± Seeing Leo¡¯s disappointment, the purple-striped water spider hurriedly said it would have a rematch with Leo if he gave a handicap for it.-. ¡®I just need to stall for a few minutes. They wille to my rescue soon.¡¯ The purple-striped water spider muttered to itself as it tried its best, stalling Leo from killing it. ¡°Handicap? Leave it¡­I am no longer interested in a rematch.¡± Leo shook his head and said, ¡°Instead, I have other ns for you.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Leo shed one of the purple-striped water spider¡¯s legs. ¡®Aargh¡¯ The water spider groaned in pain and angrily looked at Leo; however, it was not in a position to do anything as its legs had adhered to the ground, and now it evensted one of its legs. Leo knew it could not do anything no matter how angry the purple-striped water spider was. Even if it does anything, he was ready for it. ¡®Do you want to see something interesting?¡¯ Leo yed with the spider leg for a while and asked the purple-striped water spider. [Absolute Devour] The devil¡¯s mouth appeared on his palm and devoured the long ck-like spider leg as though it were a carrot. ¡°Crr¡­.wild human, I am going to kill you.¡± [Sleep powder] Finally, it could not control its anger anymore as it used one of its attacks to put Leo into an eternal sleep. [Fireball] However, Leo summoned a fireball and burnt the purple-coloured powder released by the purple-striped water spider. ¡°No matter what attack you use, I have a perfect counter for it.¡± Leo had already decided to toy with the purple-striped water spider for putting him in a cage. So, there was no way he would let it die peacefully. ¡®Ding, The host only consumed a small portion of the purple-striped water spider. Please consume fully to have a chance to awaken one of its talents or skills. The system informed Leo that only by consuming the full body of a monster or a beast or human could he trigger the effect of the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®I already know it.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think about the system notification as he looked at the purple-striped water spider and said, ¡°I will let you watch how I devour your body slowly.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ With a simple sh, Leo shed off all the spider legs and devoured them right in front of its eyes, making the purple-striped water spider¡¯s eye red with fury. ¡°Now, I will let you watch how I devour your fellow water spiders.¡± Since the level 2 spider captains and the generals still haven¡¯t arrived, Leo decided to let the purple-striped water spider live for a few more minutes. Meanwhile, he decided to devour the nine supreme-ranked water spiders he had killed earlier. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Slurp¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host devoured nine level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders and awakened a new skill. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Water resistance] upgraded to level 8. To upgrade it to level 9, please trigger the effects of the talent 100 times. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Dual Silver Skin Hardening] is upgraded to level 8¡­.. . . Leo¡¯s skills and talents from the [Absolute Devour] were upgraded to level 8 after devouring the nine supreme-ranked water spiders. ¡®As expected of the supreme-ranked beings. The experience gained from devouring is enough to let a level 1 talent or skill reach the level 8.¡¯ Leo nodded at the talents, and the skills upgraded to level 8. ¡®Also, I awakened a new skill. I hope it was a talent but still I don¡¯t have anything toin about.¡¯ Leo decided to check what type of skill he had awakened; however, before he could check it, a system notification rang in his head, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Absolute Devour] is upgraded to level 8. ¡®I wonder what type of effects it will unlock after reaching level 9 and the supreme rank.¡¯ The talent [Absolute Devour] was already heaven-defying. So, Leo was waiting for the talent to upgrade to supreme rank one day. Soon, he checked the changes in the [Absolute Devour], which had some increment in the awakening chances; however, it was not by much. ¡®I am already happy with the [Absolute Devour], even if it doesn¡¯t unlock any new effects after reaching level 9, I don¡¯t mind.¡¯ It was not guaranteed that all talents would unlock a new effect. Only a few special talents, like [Space Maniption] and [Mighty Combustion], could unlock. Sometimes, even these talents would not awaken any new effects. ¡®Let¡¯s see the new skill.¡¯ After keeping his thoughts on the [Absolute Devour] aside, Leo opened the [User Interface] to check out his new skill. ¡°Who dares to wreak havoc in the Mother¡¯s Den?¡± However, before he could check it, an angry voice resounded in the hall as Leo saw eight powerful-looking water spiders enter the hall. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 151 Nine-eyed spirit water spider A total of eight water spiders that looked more powerful than the level 1 spider captains he killed a few moments ago entered the hall. ¡®Level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders?¡¯ The first thing Leo did after seeing the new group of water spiders was to check their strength with the help of the system. ¡®I can kill them.¡¯ Because of how easy it was to kill the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders, Leo didn¡¯t think much about level 2 spider captains. ¡°Human, you are finished. You can¡¯t escape anymore.¡± Even though the purple-striped water spider lost all its legs, it became happy that Leo would be dying in front of its eyes. ¡°Captains, he has some weird devouring talents. He not only devoured all the eggs, but he also ate our younger brothers and sisters. Please take revenge for them.¡± The purple-striped water spider hurriedly asked the newly arrived water spiders to kill Leo. ¡°You think they can kill me?¡± However, Leo was not worried; instead, he scoffed at the purple-striped water spider with a cold smile and looked at the level 2 spider captains. Hearing those words, the level 2 spider captains became furious. ¡°Human, how dare you mess with us, the water spiders.¡±-. One of the level 2 spider captains walked towards Leo as its eyes shone with purple light. ¡°Kneel¡± When it was only a few meters away from Leo, it said a single word that shook the entire hall. ¡®A spirit attack?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t feel anything besides a slight pain in his head; however, he learned what type of skill the water spider used on him. Compared to physical attacks, spirit attacks were rare and powerful. However, because of the reduction in the water spider¡¯s battle prowess by 50 percent, the effect of the level 2 spider captain¡¯s spirit attack was also reduced. Moreover, Leo has more than a dozen talents and seven skills so far. Therefore,pared to the regr rank 9 human heroes, Leo¡¯s spirit was much more robust, reducing the spirit attack¡¯s effect further. [Weapon skin ¨C Silver sh] Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t think much about it as he used the weapon skill and released a silver ray of light at that water spider. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡°Human, you have some good battle prowess; however, it is not enough to kill me.¡± The silver light only left a small scratch on the carapace. ¡®As expected, even with the title [Spider Killer], the level 2 spider captains are on a different level.¡¯ Leo was not surprised much as he had already expected the newly arrived water spiders would be a little difficult to deal withpared to the level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders. ¡®However, it is not impossible to kill them.¡¯ Nheless, he was not worried as he had already nned how to kill them. ¡°Captains, don¡¯t give them any chance. Kill them before he could use his tal¡­.puchi.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Stay quiet.¡± Before the purple-striped water spider could finish its words, Leo used teleportation to appear beside it and pierced his sword. ¡®Ding, The host killed the level 1 purple-striped water spider and gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. ¡®Ding, The host killed ten 10 level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders. In addition, the host will be rewarded with a new talent [Water Control]. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised at thest system notification and thought, ¡®So, I will get a talent for killing 10 level 1 supreme-ranked water spiders now.¡¯ After upgrading the system, Leo killed two supreme-ranked beings, and both times he received an additional talent from the system. However, Leo didn¡¯t receive any rewards when he killed the first supreme-ranked water spider. After thinking for a while, Leo remembered that his chances of awakening a talent or skill reduced to only one percent from the initial 10 percent. Therefore, he assumed he just needed to kill more supreme-ranked water spiderspared to the supreme-ranked beasts from other races. ¡®Water control. I got another special skill.¡¯ Just from the name alone, Leo could tell it was a special skill and thought, ¡®Finally, I can upgrade my [Talent Promoter] to level 4.¡¯ Initially, he thought it would take years to awaken seven talents; however, it only took a few days for Leo to awaken seven talents. ¡®It¡¯s all thanks to my [Absolute Devour] and entering this grade 1 world.¡¯ Without either one, it would have taken quite some time for Leo to awaken the seven talents. ¡°Let¡¯s take care of these water spiders before sorting my talents.¡± Even if he upgraded all his talents to level 7, they would be useless against the level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders. So, he decided to focus on the fight for now and sort his talents and skills after that. ¡°Let¡¯s kill him.¡± They have never seen the purple-striped water spider be so anxious. Hence, the level 2 spider captains felt that Leo was dangerous and decided to fight him together. [Nine-eyed spirit water spider ¨C Spirit sh] [Twin-headed water spider ¨C Dual water st] [Heavy armoured water spider ¨C Armoured bash] . . One level 2 spider captain after another used their attacks as they aimed to kill Leo. ¡°Are you ganging up on me, a rank 9 human?¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo smiled coldly and said, ¡°Since you want to y dirty, I will also do the same.¡± As soon as he finished his words, Leo entered his secret dimensional space to dodge the iing attacks of the level 2 spider captains. ¡°Huh? Everyone be careful, he might appear everywhere.¡± The Heavy armoured water spider stood where Leo disappeared and hurriedly searched its surroundings. [Battle-axe¡¯s skill ¨C Ultimate cleaver] As all the water spiders were looking for Leo, he appeared in the same ce; he disappeared and shed at the nine-eyed spirit water spider. ¡®Kacha¡¯ He aimed at the ce where the [Silver sh] left a scratch earlier. Moreover, this water spider had the weakest defense among all the water spiders in the hall. Hence he killed it. [Absolute Devour] Before the other level 2 spider captains could realize what was happening, he had already pulled the corpse into the secret dimensional space before devouring it. ¡®What?¡¯ All the level 2 spider captains were shocked by how fast Leo was. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 152 Shattered Secret Dimensional Space Inside the secret dimensional space, ¡®Ding, The host killed and devoured a level 2 nine-eyed spirit water spider. ¡®Ding, The host gained two [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, No skill or talent is awakened. ¡®Even though I knew it was very difficult to awaken the spirit or talent, deep down, I was expecting to awaken it.¡¯ Leo shook his head and decided to select the next target. ¡®Heavy armoured water spider.¡¯ Soon, he picked the next target, a huge water spider with a carapace that looked very strong. [Mighty Combustion] Once he selected the target, he appeared right below the water spider before using his talent that caused the greatest damage. ¡®Boom¡¯-. A huge explosion urred right below the water spider as it sted the heavy armoured water spider along with the other closeby water spiders. Leo had reduced the st radius to only a few meters because he didn¡¯t want anything to happen to the lion cub. Because of that, the explosion was even more powerful as the Heavy armoured water spider¡¯s lower section, where there was no armour, waspletely burnt. ¡®Ding, The host killed the Heavy armoured water spider and gained 2 [Supreme Promote Points]. Like before, Leo took the corpses into the secret dimensional portal to devour them to increase the level of his new skill, which he awakened while devouring the nine level 1 spider captains. Leo repeated the method to kill another three level 2 spider captains, making the remaining three anxious. ¡°Let¡¯s take the heir and escape from here.¡± Every time Leoes out of the secret dimensional space, one of the level 2 spider captains is killed. Therefore they decided to escape from the spider queen¡¯s den. Nevertheless, they didn¡¯t forget about the Heir and wanted to take it with them. ¡°Not so soon.¡± However, before they could pick the Heir, Leo blew a deadly strike with the battle-axe that made the water spider into two as it fell to the ground. ¡°How is he going to pick the Heir?¡± Standing in front of the Lion Cub, Leo asked them with a cold smile. [Absolute Devour] Simultaneously, he devoured the water spider corpse right in front of the remaining two level 2 spider captains, making them fearful. If it was before, they would have been furious and attacked Leo without thinking twice. However, right now, they didn¡¯t have any will to fight Leo any longer as he was able to kill the level 2 spider captains in a single attack. ¡®Damn it¡­what should we do now?¡¯ ¡®Even if we escape now, without the Heir, our entire water spider race would be anhilliated.¡¯ The two level 2 spider captains fell into the dilemma because without the Heir, the water spider race would face the wrath of the ming Lion King. ¡°Can¡¯t you take care of a single wild human?¡± Suddenly, three angry voices came from outside the hall, and three ck-coloured water spiders soon entered the hall. ¡°Generals.¡± After seeing the appearance of the three ck-coloured water spiders, the two level 2 spider captains became excited as they no longer felt conflicted. The newly arrived three water spiders were none other than the three generals of the water spider race with the hero rank of level 5, level 4, and level 3 supreme rank beast hero. ¡°Shut up. How did you all be captains in the first ce?¡± The first spider general looked at the two level 2 spider captains and mocked them. In the eyes of the three spider generals, Leo was nothing but a rank 9 wild human who had a few unique talents. Nevertheless, they were confident in killing him with just their basic attacks. ¡°First general, Second general, don¡¯t waste your energy on him. I will take care of him.¡± The third spider general with level 3 supreme rank strength looked at Leo and used one of its basic attacks. [de hunt] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Two of its legs detached from its body and flew towards Leo. [Space Maniption] Leo was barely able to kill the level 2 spider captains. The three new water spiders looked even more powerful than the level 2 spider captains. Hence, he decided to hide in the secret dimensional space andunch a sneak attack. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The des missed Leo; however, they hovered in the ce where he disappeared, just like the purple-striped water spider¡¯s ultimate attack. ¡°Huh? Where did he go?¡± The third spider general squinted its eyes and checked its surroundings. ¡°Third general, he has a teleportation talent. Be careful of him. Heunches a sneak attack from anywhere?¡± The two level 2 spider captains had seen Leo kill the purple-striped water spider and the remaining level 2 spider captains. So, they warned the third spider general regarding Leo¡¯s teleportation talent. ¡°Idiots. It is not a teleportation skill; instead, it is a space-rted skill which lets him hide in the other dimension.¡± However, the first spider general scoffed at the level 2 spider captain and corrected its words. ¡°What? A spatial skill that allows him to hide in a secret dimension?¡± The level 2 spider captains and the two spider generals were shocked by the first spider general¡¯s words. Earlier, the purple-striped water spider wanted to inform them about it; however, Leo killed it because he didn¡¯t want the level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders to know about it. ¡°If my guess is right, he mighte out of that secret dimensional space within five minutes or 10 minutes.¡± The first general¡¯s eyes shone with golden light as it informed the water spiders. ¡®It looks like they figured it out. I should escape from here right now.¡¯ Hiding inside the secret dimensional space, Leo frowned as he didn¡¯t want the spider generals to know about the cool down of his hiding time. Without any hesitation, Leo decided to escape from the hall. ¡°So, what should we do now? Wait until hees out of the secret dimensional space?¡± The third spider general asked in an impatient tone. ¡°There is no need for that.¡± The first spider general¡¯s eyes continued to glow with golden light as a golden ray came out of its eight eyes and pierced through the space. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ The light pierced through Leo¡¯s chest as the entire secret dimensional space was shattered, and Leo fell to the ground with an unbelievable look in his eyes. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 153 Golden-eyed spirit water spider ¡®Ding, A spirited attack has hit the host. He can¡¯t use any of his talents or skills for five minutes. ¡®Ding, That spirit attack has shattered the host¡¯s secret dimensional space. The secret dimensional space will be repaired automatically within a day. ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t enter the secret dimensional space when it is repaired. As Leo fell to the ground, a series of system notifications rang in his head. ¡®How did I get hit in the secret dimensional space?¡¯ After listening to the system notifications in his head, this was the thought in Leo¡¯s head as he turned his head to look at the first spider general. ¡®Ding, Beast name: Golden-eyed spirit water spider. Strength: Level 5 supreme beast hero. Error-. Error The information about the ck-coloured water spider with golden eyes appeared in front of Leo¡¯s eyes. Like always, only the name and the strength of the water spider could be appraised, whereas the remaining information was unable to appraise. ¡®A level 5 supreme beast hero?¡¯ Leo knew that even with the effects of the [Spider Killer] title, he could not kill a level 4 supreme beast hero, much less a level 5 supreme beast hero. ¡°First general is so powerful.¡± ¡°As expected of the first general, he is the second most powerful water spider after the mother.¡± The level 2 spider captains were in awe of the first generals¡¯ attack that could even pierce through the space. ¡°First General, let¡¯s kill him. He devoured all the eggs and all the spiderlings.¡± At the same time, those two spider captains were eager to put holes in Leo¡¯s body with their own legs. They didn¡¯t wait for the first spider general¡¯s reply as they rushed toward Leo. ¡°Shut up and stand aside.¡± However, before they could take a few steps toward Leo, the first spider general¡¯s angry voice resounded in the hall. ¡°Y-yes, first general.¡± Hearing the angry voice scared the shit out of them as they hurriedly stopped in their tracks and nodded their heads. ¡°Human, do you want to stay alive?¡± The first spider general slowly walked toward Leo and asked him. ¡°My physical body is still in perfect form.¡± Leo stood up from the ground and touched the ce where the golden light ray had pierced; however, other than a slight pain, there was no blood or hole, making Leo heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Yes, I want to live.¡± Soon, he replied to the first spider general, thinking, ¡®I just need to stall for another four and half minutes.¡¯ Even though the current Leo has more than a dozen talents and seven skills, he didn¡¯t have a single talent five years ago. Even in such a situation, he had survived with the help of this intelligence. Since he could not use any talents or skills because of the spirit attack he received from the first spider general, Leo devised a n to stall for time before escaping. ¡®This is what happens when I be greedy and arrogant. So I need to be more careful in the future.¡¯ Leo had always been in control when it came to greed and arrogance. However, the recent things happening around him made him greedy. Since he could awaken talents and skills with ease right now, he was unknowingly bing overconfident and arrogant. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that he was bing greedy and arrogant and decided to be more careful in the future. ¡°Are you willing to follow my subordinate?¡± The first spider general was not surprised by Leo¡¯s reply as it asked, ¡°As long as you be my subordinate, I will ask the mother to let you off with small punishment.¡± ¡°First general, are you out of your mind?¡± ¡°How can you offer such a deal with this wild human who destroyed our next generations.¡± ¡°Yes, first general. It will take at least a decade for the mother toy the egg that this wild human had eaten.¡± The water spiders were shocked by the first spider general¡¯s words and hurriedly said their thoughts. ¡°So, killing this wild human will bring everything back?¡± The first spider general scoffed at the other water spiders before looking at Leo and asking, ¡°Think carefully. Once you agree to my deal, you will have to follow every single order from me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After getting scolded by the first spider general, the remaining water spiders remained silent and looked at Leo with fierce eyes. ¡°So, you are asking me to be your ve in order topensate the damages I caused?¡± Leo asked the first spider general with a cold smile. How could Leo not understand what the first spider general wanted? Since Leo could kill the level 1 and even level 2 spider captains with just a rank 9 hero strength, without a doubt, he would be a great asset for the water spider race. Moreover, the first spider general thought that once Leo became a supreme-ranked hero, he could easily kill the level 4 or even level 5 supreme beast heroes from the other races. At least that¡¯s what the first spider general thought when he proposed that deal to Leo. ¡°Or do you want to die painfully?¡± The first spider general chuckled and asked Leo as his eyes shone in golden colour. ¡®He is doing something.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t give his answer quickly because his goal was to stall for time until he could use his talents and skills. At the same time, Leo had a bad feeling that the moment he agreed to the first spider¡¯s general, even if it was for stalling the time, he might be its ve. ¡®Ding, The Golden-eyed spirit water spider is using a skill topletely control the host. ¡®Ding, Please don¡¯t agree to its deal. Leo¡¯s guess became true as the first spider general used a skill to turn him into an enved person. ¡°First Child, there is no need to turn him into a ve. Give him a painful but short death for me to enjoy. First, crippple his limbs.¡± Suddenly, an angry female voice resounded in the hall, making everyone serious. ¡®Spider Queen?¡¯ Leo¡¯s expression turned grim as he heard the familiar female voice. ¡°Yes, mother.¡± The first spider general didn¡¯t dare to disobey his mother and looked at Leo before saying, ¡°Human, it looks like you are going to die today.¡± **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 154 [Hypnosis] After finishing the meeting with the other two bestial rulers, the spider queen returned to her territory. As soon as she entered the Abandoned sea, Nora didn¡¯t feel the connection she used to feel with the egg or spiderlings, making her anxious. The closer Nora got to her den, the more anxious she became, and when she entered her den, she became furious that the halls were devoid of eggs and the spiderling. ¡®My trump card to erase the ming Lions after 100 years has disappeared.¡¯ Even though Nora was angry at the missing eggs and spiderlings, what made her furious was the special egg it created to destroy the ming Lions had also disappeared. ¡®Huh? What? The human devoured all the eggs and the spiderlings?¡¯ As a level 6 supreme beast hero, Nora could hear the word even from hundred kilometers as long as she focused. Hence, she could hear the conversation between the water spiders and Leo. ¡®The one who spoiled my ns should die.¡¯ After learning that Leo had devoured the spider eggs and spiderlings, Nora didn¡¯t want Leo to live another day. No matter how useful Leo was, Nora didn¡¯t want him to stay alive for much longer because whenever she saw him, she would be reminded of her special egg she created with the blood of various beasts and monsters in the Beas. ¡°First Child, cripple his limbs and kill him.¡±-. Nora¡¯s angry voice resounded as she entered the hall and looked at Leo. Even though Nora¡¯s original body was huge, she reduced it to a normal size of three meters to move freely in her home. ¡°Spider queen?¡± Leo instantly recognized the voice and his expression turned grim, ¡®Damn it¡­I still need a few minutes to use my talents and skill. I need to stall for some time.¡¯ Thousands of thoughts shed in Leo¡¯s head as he tried to find a way to stall for some time. ¡°Human, it looks like you are going to die today.¡± Even though the first spider general wanted to take Leo as an enved person, he didn¡¯t dare to disobey his mother¡¯s words and decided to kill Leo without any hesitation. ¡®Ding, The host still needs four minutes to use any of his talents and skills. ¡®Four minutes.¡¯ Leo looked at the timer set by the system and the Lion cub beside him. ¡®Fine. I will use it.¡¯ Without hesitation, Leo took the lion cub as a hostage and threatened the water spiders, ¡°Do you think I will just die without fighting back?¡± Even though Leo was slightly anxious regarding his current situation, he looked calm and even revealed a cold smile as though he was in control of the situation. ¡°Really? Do you even dare to kill him?¡± The spider queen and the other water spiders mocked Leo because they could easily tell that Leo could not kill the lion cub because from the beginning, he was trying to escape with the lion cub. Even when he had the chance to escape alone, he still came back for the sake of the lion cub, which made them believe that Leo could not kill it. ¡°If you kill him, his father, the ming lion king will hunt you down no matter which corner you hide in this world. If you want that, go ahead and do it.¡± Nora scoffed at Leo and urged Leo to kill the lion cub. ¡®Damn it¡­these water spiders are really good at sensing others¡¯ feelings.¡¯ Leo cursed at how nonchnt the water spiders were even when he threatened them with the lion cub. There were multiple reasons why Leo didn¡¯t want to kill the lion cub. For his future ns, the lion cub had to be alive. Moreover, he should not let a single scratch on it because it would ruin his ns. ¡°Looks like you realized I can¡¯t harm the lion cub.¡± Leo shook his head with a slight smile; however, he didn¡¯t put the lion cub on the ground; instead, he held it tightly. ¡°First Child, why did you stop? Sever his limbs and bleed him to death.¡± Soon, the spider queen ordered the first spider general, who nodded its head and raised one of its de-like legs. ¡°Wait a second.¡± Just as the first spider general was able to chop Leo¡¯s limbs, Leo thought of something and hurriedly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t devour the rainbow-coloured spider egg.¡± ¡°What? First child, wait.¡± The spider queen used her [Telekinisis] talent to stop the first spider general¡¯s de and anxiously looked at Leo. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I am not lying. Please don¡¯t kill me. Please spare my life and I will return the egg to you.¡± Leo sounded anxious; if someone didn¡¯t know about him personally, it would be impossible to say that it was all an act. ¡®¡­¡¯ The spider queen remained silent for a moment before asking, ¡°As long as you return the egg, I will let you take the Heir with you to the ming lion race.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The anxiety on Leo¡¯s face was reced with excitement as he asked the spider queen. ¡°Since the Heir took a liking to you, I will let you take him to his father. His father will generously reward him.¡± The spider queen¡¯s previous anger disappeared into thin air as her eyes shone, making Leo instantly believe her words. ¡°Okay. I believe your words, spider queen.¡± In the next second, Leo¡¯s eyes became dull as he nodded. ¡°Now, give me the special egg.¡± Nora was excited that Leo was sessfully hypnotised as she asked Leo for the egg. ¡®The moment you give me the special egg, I will give you a quick death.¡¯ The spider queen didn¡¯t have a big heart to let Leo live after devouring its eggs and children. Nevertheless, she decided to give him a quick death in exchange for the egg. ¡®Ding, The host is affected by the Spider Queen¡¯s [Hypnosis] talent. Therefore, the host will be under the spider queen¡¯s control for a few minutes. Leo was already under the spider queen¡¯s Hypnosis. So, even the system notification was useless as he looked into space with an empty look in his eyes. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 155 Grand Escape ¡°Now, give me the special egg.¡± The spider queen could not wait to take the rainbow-coloured egg from Leo. Hence, she asked him to give it back. ¡°¡­¡± However, Leo was under the spider queen¡¯s control and didn¡¯t move from his ce, making the spider queen slightly angry. ¡°What happened? Didn¡¯t you say you have the special egg?¡± Nora became a little anxious and furious at the fact that Leo had lied about the special egg as it would give her heartbreak for the second time. ¡°I have it.¡± Leo replied to the spider queen without any emotion because of the Hypnosis. ¡°Where is it? Give it to me.¡± The spider queen could tell that when someone was under her Hypnosis, they would not lie to the questions she asked. So, she asked him once again. ¡°It is in the secret dimensional space; however, I can use that ability after three and half minutes.¡± Leo didn¡¯t hide anything from the spider queen as he exined why he could not take it out. ¡°Oh. So, after three and half minutes, you can take the egg out of the secret dimensional space?¡±-. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded without any emotion. The spider queen didn¡¯t mind waiting as long as she could get the rainbow-coloured eggs back. ¡°Sorry, Mother. Because of me, we have to wait.¡± The first spider general apologized to the spider queen because he was the reason Leo could not use his talents. ¡°There is no need to worry about it. It¡¯s just a few minutes. I put him under a five minutes hypnosis. So, he will give the egg before the Hypnosis wears off.¡± The spider queen was not angry at the first spider general as she continued, ¡°Nevertheless, I can put him under my hypnosis once again.¡± She was not worried that he might escape once Leo could use his talents because he would still be under her Hypnosis. As long as he was under Hypnosis, Leo would be a ve to the spider queen. Among the four bestial rulers of the Beas, Nora, ¡®the mother of the water spiders¡¯ was known as the second strongest bestial ruler not because of its battle prowess; but instead its [Hypnosis] talent. With the help of the skill, Nora could briefly put the same or below ranked beast heroes than her under her control. Her confidence in safely retrieving the egg and the Heir came from her [Hypnosis] skill. The duration of the Hypnosis increases if the target has lower strength. The lower the target¡¯s strength, the higher the duration of the Hypnosis. Since the gap between Leo¡¯s rank and the spider queen¡¯s rank was huge, the duration would be longer. However, there was something that even the supreme-ranked beast heroes didn¡¯t have, and it was the title [Spider Killer]. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, a few minutes had passed. ¡®Ding, The effects of the spirit attack disappeared. ¡®Ding, The host can finally use his talents and skills. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s title [Spider Killer] reduced the duration of the spider queen¡¯s [Hypnosis] skill by 50 percent. ¡®Ding, The host is no longer under the spider queen¡¯s Hypnosis. A series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head as he was finally able to think properly. Soon, he checked the previous messages from the system and understood his current situation. ¡®What the hell? Was I under the [Hynosis] until now?¡¯ At first, Leo was shocked; however, he didn¡¯t dare to show it on his face and continued to act like he was still under the spider queen¡¯s Hypnosis. ¡®Did he just show emotion?¡¯ The spider queen sensed that Leo showed some emotion on his face for a brief moment; however, she rejected that thought. ¡®Even the bestial rulers were unable toe out of my [Hypnosis] talent. Not to mention, he was just a rank 9 wild human.¡¯ Even though the spider queen only used five-minute Hypnosis on Leopared to her full-powered Hypnosis, she was confident that Leo could not awaken from it so soon. ¡®I think he can use his talents now. That must be it.¡¯ When she thought about it, the spider queen asked Leo to confirm her guess, ¡°You can use your talents now, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± When ites to showing no emotions, no one could beat Leo as he nodded his head like a robot. ¡°Good. Now, take out my special egg from the secret dimensional space or whatever it is.¡± The spider queen didn¡¯t doubt that Leo came out of her Hypnosis; instead, she was excited about the special egg and asked him to take it out. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo put his hand in the portable dimensional space without saying anything and searched for the egg. The secret dimensional space and the Portable dimensional space were different. One was a space where he could hide and secretly move, whereas the other was used to store things. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo pulled his hand, and there was a multi-coloured egg in his hand. ¡®The special egg is safe.¡¯ ¡®It is safe.¡¯ The spider queen and the other water spiders were excited when they saw the multi-coloured egg in Leo¡¯s hand. ¡°Give it to me.¡± The spider queen could not wait until Leo gave the egg to her; instead, she rushed toward him and wanted to take it as soon as possible. ¡°If you stand another step forward, I will devour this egg.¡± Suddenly, Leo revealed a cold smile on his face, and a devil¡¯s mouth appeared on his left hand¡¯s palm. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare devour it.¡± The spider queen froze in her steps when it saw Leo threaten her with the special egg and warned him from eating it. ¡°Why don¡¯t I dare? You are not sincere in the deal you proposed and you are nning to kill me the moment I give this egg to you, aren¡¯t you?¡± Leo scoffed at the spider queen. ¡®What? How did he know that? More importantly, how did hee out of my Hypnosis?¡¯ Nora was furious; however, she feared that Leo might devour the egg. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Firestorm] As the spider queen and the water spiders were still in shock, Leo didn¡¯t give them any time as he used the newly unlocked effect of his level 9 [Mighty Combustion]. ¡°Little one, let¡¯s go.¡± After that, Leo didn¡¯t bother to stay in that ce any longer as he opened a portal before entering it along with the lion cub. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 156 [Bonus chapter] New Mission: Spider Queens Wrath ¡°Little one, let¡¯s go.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to stay in the spider queen¡¯s den because he had already been hypnotized before he could notice it. Moreover, he feared what other talents the spider queen and the three spider generals could use against him. Since he had already gained so much from the water spider race, Le felt there was no need to stay in the abandoned sea any longer. ¡®How did he break from the spider queen¡¯s [Hynosis] so soon?¡¯ Like the spider queen, the lion cub was also surprised at the fact that Leo was able toe out of her [Hypnosis] so soon. ¡®But the good thing is he will not die.¡¯ The lion cub was not worried that the spider queen would kill him because of his father, the ming Lion King; however, he felt bad for Leo, who came back to rescue him from the water spiders for falling under the spider queen¡¯s hypnosis. So, seeing his break free from the spider queen¡¯s hypnosis, the Lion cub felt relieved. ¡®However, I should make sure he gets rewarded properly.¡¯ This was the thought in the lion cub¡¯s head before entering the portal. ¡®The only bad thing is I can¡¯t see the power of the newly unlocked effect of the [Mighty Combustion].¡¯ Nevertheless, as long as he was alive, he could use it after 24 hours. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo and the lion cub entered the portal, which closed shortly afterward. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Firestorm] After Leo left, a firestorm had be so huge that the entire hall started shaking. ¡®How did he¡­why¡­who is he?¡¯-. As for the spider queen, she was still in shock that Leo not only broke free from her [Hypnosis] but also escaped right in front of her eyes. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before the firestorm could even reach them, the water spiders felt the fiery heatwave. ¡°Protect the spider queen.¡± Even though the spider queen was the strongest water spider in Beas, as her children, the water spiders unconsciously tried to protect her. ¡®Boom¡¯ The next second, the firestorm hit him, causing a massive explosion in which the entire hall exploded. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After hitting the water spiders, the firestorm disappeared. ¡®Aargh¡¯ However, the two level 2 spider captains were not lucky enough to survive the firestorm as they burned to crisp. That¡¯s right! The firestorm was so intense that two level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders were burnt to crisp. As for the spider generals, the third spider general was injured moderately, and the second spider general was slightly wounded. If Leo had seen such destructive power, he would have been shocked and excited about it. Even though the credit goes to the title [Spider Killer], the level 9 [Mighty Combustion]¡¯s new effect should also get equal credit. As for whether Leo could now kill the level 1 supreme ranked beings on his own with the help of the level 9 [Mighty Combustion], only time would tell; however, chances were very high. ¡°Catch him¡­catch that human. Soon, the spider queen came out of her shock, furiously yelled at the spider generals, and continued, ¡°When you are close to him, you can sense my scent. As long as you follow it, you will find him.¡± The spider queen had already left a scent on Leo when she hypnotized him. So, she ordered them so that they could find Leo as long as they followed her scent. After hesitating a little, she said, ¡°I will request the help from the other races in searching for the human.¡± The Beas is huge, and the spider queen sensed that Leo was definitely not inside her territory, ¡®The Abandoned Sea¡¯ anymore. So, she decided to take the help of the other two bestial races. ¡°Yes, mother.¡± The three spider generals hurriedly nodded before leaving the spider queen¡¯s den to search for Leo along with their thousands of rank 9 water spiders in all directions. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The spider queen also flew out of the territory to get help from the other two bestial races, and along the way, she extended her senses to search for Leo. ¡­.. In Marsh Lands, Other than the four regions ruled by the bestial rulers, there was another region in Beas that was much bigger than those four regionsbined. It wasmonly called Wilderness, habitat for all the wild monsters poured into this world after failing their world assessments. Nevertheless, these wild monsters created their own territories in this region, and Marsh Lands was a region that was avoided by almost all the wild monsters except for a few monsters because it was filled with the marsh. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the Marsh Lands, there were solid grounds here and there. Above one of such solid grounds, a portal opened as Leo, and the Lion Cub walked out of it. ¡°Once again I am back to squad one.¡± Looking at the familiar surroundings, Leo revealed a slight smile and asked the lion, ¡°Little one, do you know where we are?¡± Even though it was familiar surroundings, Leo didn¡¯t know exactly where he was. When Leo first entered the Beas, this was where he appeared; however, before he could do anything, he was captured by the purple-striped water spider and taken to the spider queen¡¯s territory. ¡°Of course, I know.¡± After escaping from the Abandoned sea, the lion cub returned to his arrogant self as he replied, ¡°Only the Marsh Lands have wends like this in the Beas.¡± ¡°Oh. You know the way to your home, right?¡± Leo didn¡¯t mind the cub¡¯s arrogance as he asked. ¡°Of course. You see the light orange-coloured hue in the sky over there.¡± The lion cub pointed his little paw at the distant sky and said, ¡°Just travel in that direction and you will end up entering the ¡®Emberfields¡¯.¡± ¡°Oh. The orange-coloured hue leads to Emberfields and the three other colours would lead to other regions, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡¯ Leo noticed four different colours of hue in the sky and nodded in understanding. Other than orange, the remaining three colours of hue were blue, brown, and azure. However, these colours were not bright; they were barely noticeable. ¡®Ding, The host used [Space Maniption]¡¯sst effect. As a result, the host can¡¯t use the talent for an hour. ¡®Ding, The host used [Mighty Combustion]¡¯sst effect. As a result, the host can¡¯t use the talent for an hour. As Leo was observing the sky, suddenly, the system notifications rang in his head. The reason Leo was able to open the portal to the ce he was currently standing was because of the [Space Maniption]¡¯sst effect that lets him travel anywhere within 1000 kilometers on a condition that he should have visited that ce at least one time. Not just visiting, but he should have used [Space Maniption] talent at least once in that ce. ¡®Even though I was put to sleep by the purple-striped water spider¡¯s poison dart, I used [Space Maniption] to take out my weapon from the portable dimensional space.¡¯ Since he was entering a grade 1 world, Leo wanted to be ready for any dangers. However, before he could even take out the weapon, the purple-striped waster spider¡¯s poison darts that contained sleep-inducing poison had put him to sleep. ¡®What? An hour cooldown?¡¯ Nevertheless, he was shocked by the cooldown. When the special effects or powerful effects of any talent or skills were used, the talents and skills could not be used for some time. However, Leo felt the cooldown of an hour was a little long. ¡®Anyway, that new effect has saved my life. So, I can¡¯tin.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo was not the type toin over something like the cooldown and thought, ¡®If I use them, I should make sure that I don¡¯t have to fight for another hour.¡¯ If Leo used thest effect of the [Space Maniption] during the fight, it means the enemy was more powerful than him and could kill him. After escaping from the powerful enemy, if he falls into the hands of a less powerful enemy like level 1 or level 2 supreme-ranked beast heroes, they could not use teleportation or hide in the secret dimensional space. It was the same with the final effect of the [Mighty Combustion]. If the enemy or hisckeys survive, he will be dead meat as he can¡¯t use his most powerful talent for another hour. ¡®I hope I don¡¯t encounter any supreme-ranked beasts or monsters for an hour.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo picked up the lion cub and walked on the muddy ground. ¡®Ding, The host has killed two Level 2 Supreme-ranked water spiders and gained four [Supreme promote points]. Just as he took a few steps, Leo received a system notification followed by more. ¡®Ding, The host has killed all level 2 spider captains. The host will be rewarded with a Beast Soul Stone. ¡®Ding, The host repeatedly offended the spider queen by devouring the spider eggs and spiderlings, killing the spider captains and general. ¡®Ding, Most importantly, the host has the special egg that the spider queen holds dearly. The spider queen is furious and wants nothing but to kill you at any cost. ¡®Ding, A new mission [Spider Queen¡¯s Wrath] is generated. Please click on the notification to learn more about the mission. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was slightly surprised with so many system notifications ringing in his head. Obviously, thest one caught his eye. ¡®A new mission? Let¡¯s see what the mission¡¯s objective and reward is.¡¯ Leo¡¯s eyes widened in surprise as he checked the full information of the mission. **** 50 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. 100 Golden Tickets = Three Bonus Chapters. Chapter 157 There is no such place called ‘Safe Haven’ ¡®A new mission? Let¡¯s see what the mission¡¯s objective and reward is.¡¯ With a curious look, Leo clicked and opened the system notification. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Spider Queen¡¯s Wrath. Information: Since the host has angered the spider queen and stole its precious egg, it would use its full power to hunt you down. It even got the support from the Terra Bull Tyrant and Zephyr Gaint Eagle, who sent their subordinates to search for you. Mission Objective: Survive until you leave the Beas. Note: The host will be hunted down by the three bestial races and along with the wild monsters of the Beas. Mission Reward: A new system ability. ¡®Huh? So, I will be hunted by the three bestial races?¡¯ Leo was not surprised that the other two bestial races were helping the Spider Queen. ¡®It looks like they were anxious because I have the Heir.¡¯-. Leo silently muttered to himself, looking at the lion cub in his arms. Earlier, the system informed him through the mission [Spider Killer] that Spider Queen and the two other bestial races were invading the ming Lion King¡¯s territory. Connecting the dots, Leo could tell that the lion cub was their bargaining chip to escape from the ming Lion King if things went south. Even though Leo didn¡¯t know about the oaths made by the four bestial rulers, he knew the three bestial rulers were desperate to catch him, not because of the spider queen¡¯s request; instead, it was for their own survival. ¡®Damn that Spider Queen, shepletely fooled me with her acting.¡¯ Thinking about the scene where Leo threatened the spider queen that he would kill the lion cub; however, she acted nonchntly as though she didn¡¯t care about the lion cub¡¯s life. ¡®As long as I safely return the lion cub to his home, his father will protect me.¡¯ It was not new for Leo to be hunted by others; however, unlike his world, this world was more powerful, and the beast heroes were also more powerful. Even though Leo was able to kill more than a dozen supreme-ranked water spiders, it was because of his title [Spider Killer]. So if he encounters a group of supreme-ranked beast heroes from the other races, it could be over for him. ¡®Moreover, I can¡¯t use [Space Maniption] and [Mighty Combustion] for an hour. So, I should be careful.¡¯ Leo always kept an eye around his surroundings as they rushed toward the orange-coloured hue in the sky. ¡­. ¡®Screech¡¯ Soon, Leo heard an eagle screech in the sky, making Leo anxious. ¡®Little one, rest in the beast storage device.¡¯ In the next second, Leo sent the lion cub into the device and hid in the marsh to avoid the sharp eyesight of the Zephyr eagles by using one of his skills [Spectre]. ¡°How did our king fall for the spider witch?¡± ¡°There is a rumour that the spider queen is using [Hypnosis] on our king.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just a rumour. Did you forget our king is immune to such talents and skill?¡± Just as Leo hid in the marsh, two zephyr eaglesnded on a boulder close to Leo¡¯s ce and started discussing their king. ¡°Anyway, do you think we can find the wild human who was able to escape from the spider queen¡¯s territory?¡± ¡°Even though it is hard, it is not impossible. Moreover, I heard the three bestial rulers had ce a bounty on him and circted in the wilderness.¡± ¡°What? They ced a bounty on him?¡± ¡°Yes. The reward is a special favour from the three bestial rulers. If they join the hunt, finding the wild human and the Heir is not a problem.¡± The two eagles continued discussing one thing after another as Leo listened patiently to their words. ¡®Interesting. So, the entrie Beas is hunting me now.¡¯ For some reason, Leo didn¡¯t feel any fear; instead, he was excited. The more beasts hunt me, the more talents and skills I can awaken. Even though he might lose his life in the process, Leo didn¡¯t mind risking his life to be more powerful. ¡®There is no such ce called ¡®Safe Haven¡¯ in this world. You might lose your life at any moment in this crazy world.¡¯ Lying in the marsh, Leo silently thought to himself. ¡®For now, I will let these two rank 9 eagles live. Once I can use my [Space Maniption], I can start the massacre.¡¯ Even though Leo could kill the two eagles with a simple sh, he continued to hide in the marsh because of the cooldown of his talents. Nevertheless, Leo learned a few more things from the two zephyr eagles¡¯ conversation. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡°What the hell are you doing here? Stop cking and start searching for the wild human.¡± As the two zephyr eagles were cking their duties, an angry screech followed by an angry voice came from the sky. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, a huge zephyr eaglended behind the two rank 9 eagles, making them anxious. ¡®It is definitely a supreme-ranked beast hero.¡¯ Not only the rank 9 eagle, but even Leo was also anxious because, in his current state, he won¡¯t be able to escape from a supreme-ranked beast hero. ¡°Sorry, Captain. We thought we saw a human in the marsh.¡± ¡°Yes, Captain. That¡¯s why wended here and searched for him.¡± As though the ones who cked coulde up with great excuses, the two rank 9 eagles randomly pointed at the ce in the marsh and informed the supreme-ranked eagle. ¡®What the hell? Did they know I was here?¡¯ Coincidentally, where Leo was currently hiding was the ce the rank 9 eagles pointed. ¡®Looks like I need to have a life and death battle with this surpeme-ranked zephy eagle.¡¯ Since the eagles had found his hiding ce, Leo decided to fight without holding back. Even a cat would fight to the death when it was cornered, whereas Leo was a human, and he could do more than what a cat could do. Therefore, he decided to fight to the death. ¡®Screech¡¯ However, before he could leave his hiding ce, more and more supreme-ranked zephyr eaglesnded in the marsh, making Leopletely hopeless. **** Bonus chapters will be released on Weekends depending on the GIFTS received in that week. Chapter 158 Level 4 [Talent Promoter] Defeating a supreme-ranked Zephyr Eagle was already out of reach for Leo, and now five more supreme-ranked Zephyr Eaglesnded beside that first Zephyr Eagle. ¡®Is this the end?¡¯ Leo was racking his brain; however, there was no way he could survive by fighting six-supreme ranked Zephyr Eagles. ¡°It is my Nth time hearing such excuses from you two. So stop cking and start the search.¡± However, the first Eagle Captain pped the rank 9 eagles with his wing before ordering them to start the search. ¡°Yes, Captain.¡± Without wasting any time, the two rank 9 zephyr eagles flew away, heaving a sigh of relief. The Zephyr Gaint Eagle was strict; if someone cks during important missions, they would be severely punished. In some cases, the punishment might end up with death. Therefore, when their captain asked them to leave, they didn¡¯t waste any time, fearing that the other eagle captains might punish them. ¡®What the¡­.I nearly got killed bying out of the marsh just now.¡¯ When he saw the first eagle captain sending away the rank 9 eagles, Leo could not help but be covered in sweat. ¡®I just need to wait until these supreme-ranked eagles fly away from here.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and waited for the supreme-ranked zephyr eagles to leave. ¡°Why are you here?¡±-. After his subordinates left, the first eagle captain asked the remaining eagle captains. ¡°His majesty changed his mind. So we have to regroup with the Five Eagle Generals. Also, as soon as he finds the wild human, we must kill him and bring the Heir back to his majesty.¡± ¡°Huh? What made him change his mind?¡± The first eagle captain asked with a surprised look in its eyes. ¡°ording to the information we got, the spider queen is done for. That wild human destroyed all the eggs and the spiderlings. Moreover, all the level 1 and level 2 spider captains were also killed by the same wild human.¡± ¡°What? That wild human is that powerful?¡± The first eagle captain was shocked because, ording to the spider queen, the wild human¡¯s strength was only at rank 9 hero. In which world could a rank 9 hero kill a single level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders? Not to mention, the wild rank 9 human hero killed more than a dozen supreme-ranked spider captains. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go and regroup with the eagle generals then.¡± Since the wild human they were searching for could kill supreme-ranked beast heroes, they didn¡¯t dare to search alone and formed teams with an eagle general as their group leader. ¡®Screech¡¯ While letting out screeches, the five eagle captains followed the first eagle captain and flew into the distance. ¡®Phew¡­that was a close one. All I need to do now is wait until I can use my [Space Manipuation].¡¯ Even after they left, Leo didn¡¯te out of the marsh as he had already decided that his current ce was the best ce to hide. Although Leo said he didn¡¯t mind risking his life to be powerful, he was not reckless to die. There should be at least a little hope that he could win; otherwise, it would be him seeking his death. ¡­. Time continued to pass as Leo didn¡¯te out of the marsh even though a few rank 9 beasts flew above him. ¡®Since I have time, I will just check out my new talents and skills.¡¯ Leo was bored hiding in the marsh. Therefore, he opened the user interface and realized something, ¡°I have upgraded seven basic talents into elite talents. Now, I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter].¡± It happened earlier; however, Leo was surrounded by the Spider Queen and her generals. So, he didn¡¯t have time to check them. ¡®Ding, 1) Heavenly ming Lion transformation (level 4). 2) Battle-axe mastery (level 4) 3) Wyvern Wings (level 8) 4) One strike (level 8) 5) Water resistance (level 8) 6) Water control (level 8) 7) Dual strike (level 8) These were the seven talents he had awakened and upgraded after his [Talent Promoter] upgraded to level 3. Since Leo received most of these talents from [Absolute Devour], they were automatically upgraded from level 4 to level 8 when he devoured the corpses. ¡®The talents I awaken by ¡®Talent Swallowing Abiltiy¡¯ and in other ways, they can¡¯t be upgraded by the [Absolute Devour]. So, I need a high-level [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Leo muttered, ¡®Moreover, I have already collected millions of [Promote points] and even 26 [Supreme Promote Points]. So, it is worth focusing on the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host has upgraded seven basic talents into elite talents using [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The host has more than one million [Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The host has met the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter] to level 4. Do you want to upgrade it? Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, and he didn¡¯t think much before confirming the upgrade. ¡®Ding, One million [Promote Points] are deducted. ¡®Ding, The talent [Talent Promoter] has sessfully upgraded to level 4. Just like before, it didn¡¯t take much time for the system to upgrade to his [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Good. It¡¯s time to check.¡¯ Leo was curious about the level 4 [Talent Promoter] and checked its details. ¡®Ding, Talent name:- Talent Promoter (Level 4). Talent Grade:- Special. Effect: 1) It can upgrade a single Elite ss talent into Advanced ss talent (Level 7) at once. Note: Once an elite talent is selected under this option, the host can¡¯t upgrade the other talents until he upgrades that talent to level 7. 2) The host can upgrade all basic ss talents into Elite ss talents. Upgrade requirements: 1) 100000 [Promote Points]. 2) Upgrade a single special elite ss talent into Advanced ss talent. ¡®Huh? Excellent.¡¯ Looking at the information, Leo revealed a slight smile. ¡®Looks like I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 5 today.¡¯ His eyes were focused on the ¡®Upgrade Requirements¡¯ because he wanted to know how to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to the next level. ¡®Upgrade [Heavenly ming Lion transformation].¡¯ However, in the next second, Leo frowned when he received a system notification. **** Bonus chapters will be released on Weekends depending on the GIFTS received in that week. Chapter 159 Disguise ¡®Ding, The host must spend 200000 [Promote Points] for special talent like [Heavenly ming Lion transformation]. ¡®Two hundred thousand [Promote Points]? Are you kidding me?¡¯ Looking at the required [Promote Points], Leo was shocked. Leo knew that the required [Promote Points] to upgrade level 4 talents would be higher than upgrading talents from level 1 to level 3; however, he didn¡¯t expect it to increase by 10 times. ¡®From level 3 to level 4, a special talent needs 20000 [Promote Points], and now, it is asking me 200000 [Promote Points].¡¯ Leo silently thought, ¡®At this rate, I might need to spend two million [Promote Points] to upgrade a level 6 talent to talent 7. If the pattern follows, I might need twenty million to upgrade it to level 8.¡¯ While thinking about it, Leo¡¯s love for his talent [Absolute Devour] increased greatly. ¡®Anyway, I need to upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] to as high as possible.¡¯ Since Leo gained this talent using [Talent Swallowing Ability], he could only use the [Talent Promoter] to upgrade it because the regr talent upgrading stones can¡¯t upgrade a special talent like [Heavenly ming Lion transformation]. ¡®Upgrade it to level 7.¡¯ Soon, Leo confirmed the system to upgrade the talent to level 7. ¡®Ding,-. The host spent 200000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] to level 5. ¡®Ding, The host spent 400000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] to level 6. ¡®Ding, The host needs two million [Promote Points] to upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] to level 7. ¡®Ding, Insufficient [Promote Points] to upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] to level 7. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head. Even though his [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] had upgraded to level 6, Leo was not excited and bitterly shook his head. ¡®I thought I had enough [Promote Points]; however, I was wrong.¡¯ Before he upgraded the [Talent Promoter], Leo had more than two million [Promote Points]; however, now, he only has a little over half a million [Promote Points]. ¡®It looks like I should start the massacre soon.¡¯ Even though his undead summons was farming in the Solitary forest, their speed decreased significantly because all the monsters and the mutated beasts were not fighting with those undead creatures. Therefore, Leo decided to start the massacre as soon as his [Space Maniption] came out of reset. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Heavenly ming Lion Transformation. Current level: Level 6. Talent Type: Special. Effect: Upon activation of this talent, the user will transform into a Heavenly ming Lion for one hour with three main skills and two passive skills of the ming lion. Main skills: Fire fang, ming Fury, and Heavenly roar. Passive skills: Fire resistance, Fire Healing. Transformation cooldown: One hour. Since he had nothing to do, Leo checked the information on the upgraded talent. ¡®One hour?¡¯ Leo¡¯s eyes brightly shone when he saw those two words. ¡®There are still 40 minutes before I can use [Space Maniption]; however, with the help of this talent, I know what to do now.¡¯ Soon, he checked his surroundings and slowly came out of the marsh. [Heavenly ming Lion transformation] ¡®Roar¡¯ In the next second, a six-meter huge heavenly ming lion appeared with a rank 6 beast hero strength. ¡®Now, I no longer need to hide.¡¯ Even though his [Space Maniption] and [Mighty Combustion] were yet toe out of the cool down, Leo had thought of a great n. It was to disguise himself as a ming Lion. Since the ming Lion King was the monarch of the Beas and the oath of the three bestial races was about to break, they would not bother with a single ming lion. At least that¡¯s what Leo thought and rushed toward the orange-coloured hue. ¡­. In the Emberfields, ¡°Your Majesty, there seems to be some kind of problem with the three bestial races.¡± Ren, the second-in-line of the Emerflied and the brother of the ming Lion King, informed about what happened in the spider queen¡¯s territory. ¡°What? A rank 9 wild human kidnapped Lionel from the Spider Queen¡¯s territory? Are you kidding me?¡± Fury was unable to believe what he had just heard from his brother. ¡°Your Majesty, since the spider queen and the other two besital rulers have taken the oath, they were searching for that human in the entire Beas.¡± Ren was serious as he asked, ¡°I am waiting for your orders.¡± Even though they were blood brothers, Ren always respected Fury and treated him as the King of the Emberfields. ¡°Brother Ren, stay in the territory and protect it from the wild monsters.¡± After hearing Ren¡¯s words, the ming Lion King didn¡¯t waste any time as he stood up and shook his entire body. ¡°Lion Captains, take your squads and search for the Heir.¡± Fury roared out of his den as he ordered, ¡°As for the Lion Generals, you need to stay back and help Minister Ren in case any wild monsters attack our territory.¡± ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± The Lion Captains and the Lion Generals hurriedly nodded their heads. ¡°Let¡¯s go now.¡± Soon, the ten 10 Lion Captains led 10 rank 9 ming lions and split in every direction. Simultaneously, Fury also picked a direction and searched for his son. ¡®Lionel, please be safe. I aming for you.¡¯ No matter how prideful and arrogant Fury was in front of everyone when it came to his son Lionel, he was ready to throw his pride and arrogance away without hesitation. ¡­.. As running for a while, Leo had sessfully crossed the Marsh Lands and entered another territory in the wilderness. As for the name of the territory, Leo had no clue about it, and he didn¡¯t care much about it. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that a ming lion?¡± From the sky, a group of rank 9 vulture-like beasts saw Leo, who was in the ming Lion form. ¡°From the looks of it, it is alone. It¡¯s been so long since we feasted on the ming lions. Shall we hunt it down today?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, that group of vulture-like beasts rushed toward Leo with their sharp ws. **** Bonus chapters will be released on Weekends depending on the GIFTS received in that week. Chapter 160 Surrounded by Metal-Clawed Vultures In various locations of the Beas, ¡®What? The ming lions also joined the search?¡¯ ¡®Captain, what will happen to the three bestial races if the ming lions find the Heir on their own? Will the oath still stand?¡¯ ¡®The moment they find the Heir, we can say goodbye to our lives. So, stop cking and continue searching. We have to find the Heir before them.¡¯ The beast heroes from the three bestial races felt pressured as they fastened their search. If the ming lions found the Heir, the ming Lion King would be able to enter the territories of the other bestial rulers easily and wipe their entire race. Of course, they would be pressured because it has now be a matter of survival. ¡®Damn wild human¡­in which hole is he hiding?¡¯ Spider Queen and the other two bestial rulers were bing increasingly anxious with each second. ¡­. In Ogre¡¯s territory,-. The territory adjacent to the Marsh Lands is Ogre¡¯s territory. After crossing the Ogre¡¯s territory, it would be the Emberfields that the ming Lion King ruled. Even though it was called Ogre¡¯s territory, it was inhabited by Ogres and the Metal-wed vultures. The metal-wed vultures hate the ming Lion King for killing their King a few months back. So, when the group of metal-wed vultures saw a lone rank 6 ming lion running in their territory, they decided to take revenge for theirte King. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, that group of metal-wed vultures rushed toward Leo with their sharp metallic ws. ¡®Huh?¡¯ The senses of a rank 6 Heavenly ming Lion were almost equivalent to advanced ranked beasts. Hence, he could tell that a group of metal-wed vultures wasing at him. ¡®Damn it¡­do they not fear the ming lion king or what?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t know about the feud between the ming lion king and the metal-wed vultures; however, he could guess that the iing vultures hated him to the core. ¡®In my current form, I can¡¯t kill a single one, not to mention there were more than a dozen metal-wed vultures in that ground.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t dare to fight them as he increased his speed towards the Emberfields. ¡°Do you think you can escape from us?¡± The metal-wed vulture that looked like the leader of the group scoffed at Leo as it increased its speed. ¡®Do I have to transform back into a human and kill them?¡¯ When Leo uses the talent [Heavenly ming Lion transformation], he can¡¯t use any other talents or skills. That was the limiting factor of talent. Since he was only a level 6 Heavenly ming Lion, Leo could at most kill a group of rank 7 or a rank 8 beasts; however, a group of rank 9 beast heroes waspletely out of his reach. So, he thought of reverting into a human and killing them with a single sh. ¡®However, the problem is, I can¡¯t use that talent for an hour. Without that talent, he would have no disguise and have to hide in some hole.¡¯ Moreover, Leo already had a good hiding ce, and it would be troublesome to go back as he would surely be caught by one of the three bestial races. While running towards the Emberfields in his Heavenly ming Lion form, Leo encountered a few groups from the three bestial races searching for him. ¡®Before I could go back to the marsnds, I will be easily caught by either Bull Generals or Eagle Generals.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo decided, ¡®I should try my best not to get caught by them.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo increased his speed and intentionally chose the routes that make the metal-wed vultures hard to follow him. ¡°No matter how fast you run, you can¡¯t escape from us.¡± The leader of the metal-wed vultures chuckled as it soon caught up with Leo. ¡°Now, die.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ Without wasting any time, it shed its long ws at Leo. ¡°Swoosh¡± However, Leo lowered his body and increased the speed to dodge the metal ws. ¡°Huh? Nice dodge. Let¡¯s see how you will dodge the next one.¡± As soon as the leader of the metal-wed vultures finished its words, its metal ws shone with silver light as it shed at Leo. ¡®Roar¡¯ Leo tried to dodge the ws like before; however, the vulture was so fast that he didn¡¯t have the time to dodge the attack. ¡®Thud¡¯ Since Leo was running at an incredible speed, because of the vulture¡¯s attack, he lost his bnce and rolled on the ground before mming into a huge tree. ¡°See? Didn¡¯t I say you can¡¯t escape from me?¡± Soon, the group of metal-wed vulturesnded on the ground, surrounded Leo, and mocked him. ¡°Just because we ate a few ming lions, your King entered this territory and killed my kind, Golden-wed Vulture King. Now, we are going to eat you. Let¡¯s see what he will do this time.¡± The leader of the metal-wed vultures walked closer to Leo and continued saying, ¡°I have been waiting for this day for a while now. Finally, we can kill a special ming lion.¡± Since Leo transformed into a Heavenly ming Lion, in the eyes of the metal-wed vultures, he looked like a special ming lion. Even though they could not take revenge on the ming Lion King, they wanted to kill as many ming lions as possible and devour them to show their respect to theirte King. ¡°Do you have anyst words?¡± Directly killing Leo would not satisfy the metal-wed vultures because their King was brutally killed. So, they nned to toy with him for a while before sacrificing him to theirte King. ¡°I have had¡­.¡± ¡°How dare you lowly vultures try to harm someone from my race?¡± Suddenly, an angry voice resounded from a distance, and seeing the owner of the voice, the group of metal-wed vultures became anxious and tried to fly away. **** Bonus chapters will be released on Weekends depending on the GIFTS received in that week. Chapter 161 Slave Engraver in Beastnet The owner of the voice was none other than the Fury, the ming Lion King, who joined the search for his son along with his Lion Captains. Fury knew that the wild monsters or the beast heroes from the three bestial races might kill the wild human; however, they would never harm his son as they knew the consequences of killing his son would be dire. However, there was a single territory in the entire Beas that Fury was not confident that his son would not be harmed. And it was none other than Ogre¡¯s territory, previously called Vulture King¡¯s territory, until the ming Lion King killed the Golden-wed Vulture King. Since he had a bad history with the Ogre¡¯s territory, Fury feared that if his son and the wild human entered that territory, they would be killed and devoured by the Metal-wed vultures without a doubt. Therefore, he chose to search the Ogre¡¯s territory as it was the most dangerous territory for his son. However, to his surprise, he found a ming lion that was not from his territory, was targeted by the Metal-wed Vultures, and rushed to protect him. ¡®Even though he is not from my territory, he is still a mining Lion. As the King of the ming Lions in the Beas, it was his duty to protect the weak ming lions.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Fury jumped at the metal-wed vultures trying to escape after seeing him. Even though they want to take revenge for their king, the metal-wed Vultures were no match for the ming Lion King, who was the strongest beast hero in the entire Beas. ¡°Do you think you can escape after trying to harm someone from my race?¡± [Fire sh] Even though the metal-wed vultures flew into the sky, Fury casually jumped and swiped his fiery ws at them, sessfully killing them with a single attack.-. ¡°A supreme-ranked ming Lion?¡± Leo¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw a supreme-ranked ming Lion protecting him. ¡°Child, are you alright?¡± After killing them, Fury didn¡¯t bother with the corpses of the metal-wed vultures and asked Leo. ¡®Swiish¡¯ At the same time, Fury¡¯s tail touched Leo, and the cut on his back was instantly healed. ¡°I¡­.am alright. T..thank you for saving me.¡± Leo thanked the ming Lion King. ¡°As the King of the ming Lions, it is my duty to protect all the ming Lions in the Beas.¡± Fury didn¡¯t give any time for Leo to say anything as he continued speaking, ¡°I don¡¯t know where you havee from but I don¡¯t have time to ask you anything. Just follow the orange hue and you will eventually end up in the Emberfields.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Fury resumed searching for his son Lionel. ¡®I wonder where he did that little onee from. From his appearance, he looks special; however, I don¡¯t have time to think about it.¡¯ After leaving that ce, Fury thought about Leo¡¯s [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] and felt he was a little special. However, currently, he is more focused on finding his son. So, he didn¡¯t think much about the special ming lion he had just saved. ¡®¡­¡¯ As for Leo, he was speechless at the actions of the ming Lion King. At first, Leo didn¡¯t think the ming Lion King himself saved him. However, before Leo could tell that his son was with him, the ming Lion King rushed into the distance. ¡®I can¡¯t use the [Space Maniption] yet. Even with my [Wyvern Wings], I can¡¯t fly fast enough to catch upto him.¡¯ Leo shook his head and looked in the opposite direction. ¡®Right now, I can¡¯t go after the ming Lion King; instead, it is better for me to take shelter in the Emberfields.¡¯ Judging from the ming Lion King¡¯s earlier words, Leo could tell he was close to the Emberfields. Therefore, he decided to continue his journey to the Emberfields. ¡®As long as I send the lion cub to his territory, I canplete my mission.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo followed the orange hue in the sky as he rushed towards the Emberfields as fast as he could. ¡­ In Human Territory, Wilderness of the Beas, Other than Marsh Lands and Ogre¡¯s territory, there were other two territories in the wilderness of the Beas. They were the Thunder Naga¡¯s territory and the Human territory. However, these two territories were tinypared to the other two territories in the wilderness. Like other territories, they also learned about a wild human who escaped the Spider Queen¡¯s territory with the ming Lion¡¯s Heir. At first, they thought the wild human was one of them; however, soon, they learned that all the humans from their territory were present. However, unlike the monsters in other territories, the humans in this territory remained emotionless as though they were not bothered about it. ¡°Master, I have something to report to you.¡± An old man walked towards a middle-aged man who was inscribing something on a level 1 supreme-ranked Terra Bull with his red quill. ¡°What is it?¡± The middle-aged man stopped inscribing and asked with a calm look. ¡°A human stole¡­.¡± Soon, the old man was informed about everything regarding Leo¡¯s action with an emotionless look. ¡°Interesting¡­there is such a powerful rank 9 human hero?¡± After learning about the achievement of a rank 9 human hero killing level 1 and even level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders, the middle-aged men revealed an exciting look. ¡°Divide the 100 level 1 supreme-ranked humans into 10 squads and order the level 2 supreme-ranked humans to lead them.¡± The middle-aged man didn¡¯t think much before giving the orders to the old man, ¡°Find that human and the ming Lion Cub at any cost.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The old man bowed and soon summoned 110 supreme-ranked human heroes and ryed the middle-aged man¡¯s words. Themon thing among these 110 supreme-ranked human heroes and the old man was that they looked like robots without any emotions. ¡®If I can turn that human and the Heir into my ves, I can conquer my third world sooner than I thought.¡¯ Soon, the middle-aged man went back to inscribing the ve seal on the Terra Bull with an excited smile. ¡°Lossen your grip around ths little bull a little; otherwise, it will die.¡± Looking at the water python wrapped around the supreme-ranked terra bull from moving, the middle-aged man ordered it. ¡®Hiss¡¯ With a hissing sound, the water python acknowledged his order and loosened the grip around the terra bull. ¡°Once that happens, I will make you the Beast King of this world.¡± As the middle-aged man inscribed the ve seal on the supreme-ranked terra bull, he promised the water python that he would make the Beast King of the Beas. Even with such a promise, the supreme-ranked water python showed no excitement as its emotionless eyes looked into the space. On the side, there was a massive bear with the strength of a level 1 supreme rank; however, it also had the same emotionless look. ¡°Wee to the family.¡± Soon, he finished inscribing the ve seal on the Terra Bull as he weed the terra bull with a slight smile. **** Author¡¯s question: How many of you remember this middle-aged man? **** Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters Chapter 162 Entering the Emberfields ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo continued to run towards the Emberfields, which he assumed to be the safest ce for him to survive for the remaining days in the Beas. ¡®Should I enter the territory directly?¡¯ It took twenty minutes for Leo to reach the Emberfields; however, he didn¡¯t enter the territory directly. ¡®Even though the Emberfields is a the safest ce for me to survive from the three bestial rulers, I don¡¯t want to ce my full trust on those ming lions that were arrogant and prideful.¡¯ Leo found a well-hidden ce nearby and decided to hide for a while. ¡®I just need to wait for 15 minutes for my level 9 skills toe out of the cooldown. Moreover, I am very close to the Emberfields. So, no one from the other races would bother me.¡¯ Leo remained in the Heavenly ming Lion form as he hid. ¡®Earlier I receive a Beast Soul Stone, I wonder which beast soul is stored in it.¡¯ Leo received a system reward when he was teleported to the Marsh Lands for killing all the level 2 spider captains. It was a Beast Soul Stone, and he was curious about the Beast soul stored in it. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Beast Soul Stone. Soul Stored: Lightning Cat. Even when Leo was in the ming Lion form, he could use all the system features without any problem.-. Hence, when he thought about the beast¡¯s soul stored in the Beast Soul Stone, the system showed its information. ¡®Lightning Cat? Looks like it can not only awaken the soul of a weapon or artifact but it will also increase the attacking power.¡¯ Among the elements, the Lightning element is known for its high damage power. Therefore, Leo concluded that by using the soul stone, his weapon would gain additional damage. ¡®Even though I have the rank 9 Battle-axe, I don¡¯t want to use the soul stone on it as my chances of using that weapon are less.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to use the Beast Soul Stone on the rank 9 Battle-axe because he had a quasi-supreme rank Battle-axe. However, he could not use the Beast Soul Stone on the quasi-supreme rank Battle-axe because of the limitations of the stone. ¡®Using it on the [Arcane Silver] is useful as it would not increase its rank higher than rank 9 anyway. I will just wait until I get a good artifact.¡¯ After thinking for some time, Leo decided to think about this Beast Soul Stone when he got his hands on a good artifact. ¡°Who is there?¡± After 10 minutes, Leo¡¯s hiding ce was discovered by a rank 9 ming Lion on patrolling duty. ¡°Huh?¡± However, it became serious when that rank 9 ming Lion saw that the beast hiding in the bushes was none other than one of their own. ¡°How did youe out of the training ground before reachin the rank 9?¡± Unlike the ming Lion King, who could tell that Leo was not one of their own, the rank 9 ming lion could not tell the difference. It misunderstood Leo as one of the rank 6 ming lions from their territory and asked how it escaped its training. All four bestial races in the Beas were not allowed to leave their territory until they became rank 9 beast heroes. It was for the sake of the beastlings that might get prematurely killed by the other bestial races of the wild monsters from the wilderness. Nevertheless, these beastlings were given strict training in ¡®How to hunt alone and in groups¡¯, ¡®How to use the awakened talents and skills, and many other lessons. ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t know.¡± Leo acted a little bit anxious and shook his head. ¡°Since the territory is busy, you might have escaped when your instructor was called by his majesty. Before you get caught, slowly follow behind me.¡± That rank 9 ming lion asked Leo to silently follow behind him to escape the punishment imposed on the beastlings that escaped from their training. ¡®Huh? Training? Instructor? Getting caught?¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t understand everything the rank 9 ming lion said, he understood one thing, ¡®I am being mistaken as one of their own.¡¯ ¡®Good. I will just y along with them for 15 minutes and I will reveal my identity.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo silently followed behind the rank 9 ming lion. They didn¡¯t enter the Emberfields directly; instead, they walked on the edge of the territory. Leo didn¡¯t think much about it and silently followed the ming lion as he thought, ¡®If he tries anything funny, I don¡¯t mind transforming back into human to kill it.¡¯ ¡°Skye, did you find another escaped beastling?¡± As they walked for a few minutes, they encountered another rank 9 ming lion who asked the rank 9 ming lion he was following. ¡°Keep quiet. If that b*stard Miles finds out, he would make a scene over nothing and make this little one suffer until he bes a rank 9 beast hero.¡± Skye shook his head and asked the other rank 9 ming lion to remain silent. ¡°Well¡­well. How many times did I tell you to report me whenever there is an escaped Beastling?¡± From a distance, a level 1 supreme-ranked ming lion walked towards them and asked Skye. ¡°Miles, there is no need to punish the beastling. The training is already ¡­.¡± ¡°Shut up. I am no longer a mere patrolling guard. I am the leader of the patrolling guards. So, stand aside and let me punish this beastling for escaping from the training grounds.¡± Before Skye could finish his words, Miles scoffed at him and looked at Leo with eyes full of lust. ¡®Damn it¡­why am I having a bad premonition in my heart?¡¯ Leo felt ufortable looking at the supreme-ranked ming lion that was walking toward him. ¡°Wait a second. I am not an escaped Beastling or whatsoever.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo canceled his talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] and said, ¡°I came here with the Heir.¡± At the same time, he summoned the lion cub out of the Beast Storage Device. ¡°Prince Lionel.¡± When they saw the lion cub, the three ming lions were shocked before bing excited. ¡°Uncle Skye, I am back.¡± The lion cub rushed towards Skye with great excitement, and Skye patted the cub¡¯s head. ¡°Prince Lionel, are you alright? You must have suffered a lot in the wilderness.¡± Miles hurriedly pushed Skye aside and said, ¡°His Majesty is currently looking for you. Why don¡¯t we go and meet minister Ren?¡± ¡°Sure. Let¡¯s go and meet uncle Ren.¡± Ren was his uncle by blood. So, Lionel was excited to meet him, who couldmunicate with his father over long distances. ¡°As for you two, go back and continue your patrol.¡± Miles hurriedly sent the rank 9 ming lions away. ¡°Benefactor, let¡¯s go.¡± Miles looked at Leo, who was transformed into a human and asked him to follow. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Brother Leo.¡± Lion cub jumped into Leo¡¯s arms and excitedly said, ¡°Watch how I repay you with so many invaluable treasures.¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo remained silent and followed behind the supreme-ranked ming lion named Miles. For some reason, the bad premonition in his heart still didn¡¯t disappear, making him remain alert. ¡°Minister Ren, I brought the Heir.¡± Soon, they were guided to a den, and as soon as they entered, Miles excitedly informed the huge ming lion inside the den. ¡°Good. Now, kill the human.¡± A majestic voice resounded from the depths of the den, ordering Miles to kill Leo. **** Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 163 Conspiracy ¡°Wild human, it¡¯s time for you to die.¡± As soon as Miles received the order from Minister Ren, he chuckled a little before shing a fire w at Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo had a bad premonition in his heart from the moment he met Miles. So, he was always alert and kept his eye on the surroundings. Therefore, when Miles attacked him, Leo casually dodged aside while taking the Lion Cub as his hostage. ¡®Even though I didn¡¯t like taking the lion cub hostage, I don¡¯t have any other choice but to survive this situation.¡¯ Leo silently thought and looked at the huge ming lion that ordered Miles to kill him. ¡°Uncle Ren, what are you doing? You are repaying kindness with evil.¡± Compared to Leo, the lion cub was more shocked as he asked his uncle Ren with a fit of slight anger and worry. As for bing Leo¡¯s hostage, the lion cub didn¡¯t think much because he didn¡¯t find any fault in Leo¡¯s actions. Instead, he was disappointed at his Uncle Ren, who wanted to kill Leo for bringing him back home.-. ¡°Repaying evil with kindness? You learned your lessons so well that you even started using those quotes in real life.¡± Uncle Ren scoffed at the lion cub and started, ¡°Who said he is a Benefactor? He is the disruptor of my ns. The punishment for disrupting my ns is death.¡± By saying that, Ren stood up and slowly walked toward Leo. ¡°Do you think I will let you kill me so easily? If you want to kill me, you must catch me first.¡± Even though Leo was standing in front of a level 5 or level 6 supreme-ranked ming lion, he was not worried much. It was because Leo¡¯s level 9 talents had alreadye out of the cool down. ¡®Even if I can¡¯t enter the secret dimensional space, I can teleport 10 kilometers away from here with a single thought.¡¯ Despite feeling the bad premonition in his heart, Leo followed Miles without any worry because of his [Space Maniption]. ¡°By the way, I forgot to tell you that I have already activated a supreme-grade formation for my den. So, don¡¯t even think of escaping from here with your talent.¡± However, Leo¡¯s expression became grim the next second when he heard Ren¡¯s words. ¡®Ding, Even though there is a barrier, it is not powerful enough to stop the host from using the ultimate effect of the [Space Maniption] to escape from the den without any problem. ¡®And I actually believed that b*stard when he said it was a supreme-ranked barrier.¡¯ With the sudden system notification, Leo¡¯s grim expression disappeared as he looked at Ren. ¡®But, how did he know I have the [Space Maniption] talent? Did he receive the information from the Spider Queen?¡¯ ¡®Wait a second¡­it is him. He intentionally helped the lion cub to leave the territory and asked the water spiders to kidnap him.¡¯ From the time he learned about the ming Lion King¡¯s power, Leo felt there was a mastermind who nned the kidnap. Finally, he learned who was the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy behind the kidnap. ¡®But why? Also, even if I didn¡¯t spoil his ns, it only worked in the favour of the three bestial races. What was his true motive?¡¯ Even though he could tell Minister Ren was the mastermind behind the Lion cub¡¯s kidnap, he didn¡¯t understand the motive. Because, from what he had seen and learned, the n was only useful for the three bestial races as they could live for another 100 years without worrying about the ming Lions¡¯ invasion. As for what Minister Ren would gain from all these, Leo was unable to figure it out as there was not enough information for him to deduce the true motive. ¡°Uncle¡± On the other hand, Lionel angrily shouted at his Uncle Ren and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait until my father returns. Until then, I can¡¯t let you kill him.¡± The ming lions were arrogant and prideful. Since Lionel had promised Leo to reward generously after safely reaching home, his pride would be hurt if he didn¡¯t keep his promise. Moreover, instead of rewarding Leo, his uncle was nning to kill him, which was a shameless act in Lionel¡¯s perspective. ¡°I am sick of you calling me ¡®Uncle¡¯. I will use this opportunity to kill you with that wild human.¡± Ren¡¯s eyes which were kind and generous all the time, looked very angry now. Looking at those eyes, Lionel could not help but get scared. ¡°W-what are you saying, Uncle Ren? You are scaring me.¡± Even though Lionel was scared, he mustered his courage and asked Minister Ren. ¡°What am I saying? I said I would kill you and put the me on that wild human before killing him¡­Keke.¡± Ren was not worried that Leo would escape because he had already activated the barrier as he chuckled. ¡°But why? What did I do? Aren¡¯t we a family?¡± Lionel was sad as his usually kind uncle wanted him dead and didn¡¯t know why. ¡°You ask me why? Your birth is sin. If you are not been born, my son Begal would have been the Heir of this ming lion race.¡± When he heard Lionel ask why Ren wanted him dead, Ren became furious and roared at him as he exined. ¡°In my generation, your father stole my fame, and now you are stealing my son¡¯s fame. Do you want me to sit on the sidelines and watch my son be a servant to you just like how I became a servant to your father?¡± As he walked closer to Leo and Lionel, mes shot out of Ren¡¯s body, ¡°As long as I kill you, my son will be the next generation¡¯s leader. Now die.¡± Ren shot a methrower at them as soon as he finished his words. **** Gift a Magic Castle and get 5 Bonus Chapters. **** ming Lions. Fury ¨C ming Lion King. Lionel ¨C Heir, Fury¡¯s son.

Chapter 164 Returning to the Starting Point ¡°Die.¡± Ren spits a powerful methrower at both Leo and Lionel, hoping to turn them into ashes simultaneously. As a level 7 supreme-ranked ming lion, Ren didn¡¯t think much about Leo, who was just a rank 9 hero. As for the lion cub, he was nothing in Ren¡¯s eyes. [Space Maniption] However, he didn¡¯t expect Leo¡¯s reaction speed, which instantly activated the ultimate effect of the [Space Maniption], to escape from the den. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before the fiery mes could touch them, Leo disappeared from the den with the lion cub in his arms. ¡°What? How was he able to escape through my rank 9 barrier?¡± Ren was shocked when he saw that Leo was able to teleport away from his den. Even though he had lied about his formation being a supreme rank, Ren knew it was enough to stop anyone below the supreme rank from entering or leaving the den. However, Leo was able to escape right in front of his eyes, making him anxious.-. That¡¯s right! Minister Ren was anxious because if they met the ming Lion King and told him that he was the mastermind behind the kidnap, he would be killed without mercy. ¡°Miles, take everyone from our faction and search for them. They should not meet anyone from the ming Lion King¡¯s faction. Kill them before they could spoil our ns any further.¡± Minister Ren anxiously ordered Miles to take care of Leo and Lionel. ¡°Yes, Minister Ren.¡± As long as Minister Ren¡¯s ns seed, he would be a Lion general with 10 supreme-ranked lion captains, 1000 rank 9 ming lions, and countless low-level ming lions under him. So, of course, he wanted to try his best to help Minister Ren. Soon, he rushed out of the den and gathered the ming lions from Minister Ren¡¯s faction to search for Leo and Lionel. ¡°Also, inform our lions that have already left to search for them with the captains that as soon as they encounter them, kill them without any hesitation.¡± Even though other ming lions were powerful in Minister Ren¡¯s faction, he gave the orders to everyone before starting the search. ¡®Damn it¡­I should have killed them the moment they entered my den.¡¯ Inside his den, Ren regretted his actions of not killing them instantly and muttered, ¡°So what if he finds out my n. I think it is time to overthrow him and take over the territory.¡± Ren was preparing a grand n to take over the Emberfields from his blood brother; however, it was yet to beplete. Nevertheless, because of a wild human, his ns were spoiled; now, he had to push forward his ns. ¡®The three bestial rulers didn¡¯t have any chance but assist me in killing Fury because the oath did not bind him and the three bestial rulers broke the oath.¡¯ Even though Ren didn¡¯t expect his n to be spoiled, he started re-organizing his ns and started chuckling that his chances of killing his brother were very high. ¡­. In the Marsh Lands, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A portal appeared as Leo walked out of it with a lion cub in his arms. ¡®Ding, The host used the ultimate effect of the [Space Maniption]. This talent will be on cooldown for the next one hour. Soon, he received the system notification regarding his talent [Space Maniption], making Leo shake his head with a bitter smile. ¡°Thanks for the generous reward, little one.¡± As soon as he walked out of the portal, Leo mocked the lion cub, who bragged that he would be rewarded generously. However, Leo would have nearly lost his life. ¡°S-sorry.¡± Lionel¡¯s arrogance disappeared after seeing his uncle¡¯s true colours, and he apologized to Leo. ¡°Leave it. Let¡¯s find your father. I can only survive if I find your father.¡± Leo knew that if he wanted to survive in this world, his only option was to find Fury, the ming lion king. ¡°Brother Leo, I know how to make my fathere for me.¡± Lionel took time to settle his mixed emotions regarding his Uncle Ren and thought of something. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°If I drop my blood, my father could sense it if he was close to that blood drop.¡± Lionel replied to Leo and continued, ¡°Not only my father but all the ming lions could tell that the blood belongs to mine.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡± Leo could tell that not all ming lions want to kill the Heir. So, he decided to gamble, hoping either the ming lion king or someone loyal to him should find them first. As soon as Leo agreed to his idea, the lion cub bit his hand and dropped the blood. ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s cover as much distance as possible.¡± Soon, Leo rushed with Lionel in his army, leaving a single drop of blood for every 100 meters or 200 meters. When any ming liones close to that drop of blood, they could sense it belongs to the Heir as Lionel¡¯s blood contained the bloodline of the ¡®Heavenly ming Lion King.¡¯ ¡°I hope we don¡¯t encounter any supreme-ranked beasts or monsters.¡± Leo didn¡¯t mind encountering rank 9 beasts or monsters; however, supreme-ranked beings were out of his reach for him because he could not use [Space Maniption] for another hour. ¡®Nevertheless, I still have [Mighty Combustion]¡¯s ultimate effect. Even though it could kill level 2 and injure level 3 supreme-ranked beast heroes, I can¡¯t use that talent for another hour. So, it is better to use it when I don¡¯t have any other choice.¡¯ With the first effect of the [Mighty Combustion], Leo could kill hundreds of rank 9 beasts and monsters and repeatedly use that effect with a few seconds of rest. So, he didn¡¯t want his powerful talent to fall into the cooldown. ¡°It looks like our squad is very lucky today.¡± As Leo was rushing aimlessly in the marsnds, he heard a rough voice from a distance and saw nearly 100 bulls. ¡®Terra bulls. Why nothing is going as I thought today.¡¯ Leo bitterly shook his head and said, ¡°Fine,e at me then.¡± **** Gift a Magic Castle and get 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 165 Leo Versus Terra Bulls In the group, there were nearly 100 rank 9 terra bulls led by a level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull. Until a few minutes back, they cursed their luck for being sent to the marsnd among the ten squads in their race. Terra bulls didn¡¯t like marsnds because they could not show their true battle prowess because of the slippery ground. However, to their luck, they found what they were searching for and became excited. ¡°Come at me then.¡± Since Leo could not use the [Space Manipuation] talent for the next one hour, he decided to kill the Terra Bulls and devour them. Since he had spent a lot of energy over thest couple of hours, Leo wanted to replenish his energy so that he could use all his talents and skills without any worries. ¡°Kill the human and capture the Heir.¡± Even though they knew that the wild human who stole the Heir had the talent to teleport, the terra bulls were just dumb-headed beasts. Moreover, they were provoked by Leo. Therefore, they no longer thought anything, and except for the supreme-ranked terra bull, all the rank 9 terra bulls rushed toward Leo. ¡®I have to finish them as soon as possible.¡¯ [Fire Wyvern w] With that thought in mind, Leo summoned the fiery wyvern ws on both hands and rushed into the iing hordes.-. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Die¡¯ Leo¡¯s speed was fast as he killed more than five rank 9 terra bulls in a single swipe. ¡®Ding, The host killed five rank 9 Terra Bulls and gained 2500 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed six rank 9 Terra Bulls and gained 3000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, . . The system notifications continued to ring in his head, which only gave Leo enough motivation to kill more. Within less than 10 seconds, he killed more than 20 rank 9 Terra Bulls and gained 10000 [Promote points]. ¡®Killing a rank 8 terra bull gives 500 [Promote Points] and if I kill all these rank 9 terra bulls, then I will get 50000 [Promote Points]. It is still not enough.¡¯ Even after receiving the free [Promote Points] from the farming of his undead summons in the Solitary FAorest, Leo still needed a little over a million [Promote Points] to upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to level 7. As long as he upgrades it, his talent [Talent Promoter] would be upgraded to level 5. ¡°What are you doing? Can you even kill a single rank 9 wild human?¡± The level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull, watching Leo massacre his underlings, became angry as he shouted at his underlings before rushing toward Leo. Since his underlings could not take care of him, the supreme-ranked terra bull decided to take care of Leo alone. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Let me clear all these rank 9 terra bulls.¡± Leo knew that he had to be careful with the supreme-ranked terra bull. So, he was always keeping an eye on him. Therefore, when he saw the supreme-ranked terra bull rushing at him, Leo decided to clear the rank 9 terra bulls first. [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st] Leo has been waiting for the supreme-ranked terra bull toe at him before using his [Mighty Combustion]. ¡®Boom¡¯ The next second, an explosion urred in the marsnds that sted all the terra bulls, including the level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull away. [Absolute Devour] Since all the terra bulls were rank 9, the radius st didn¡¯t burn their bodies. So, Leo started devouring them using the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®I need to hurry before others cane here.¡¯ Leo hurriedly sent Lionel into the Beast Storage Device while devouring the terra bulls¡¯ corpses with his left hand. ¡®Ding, The host devoured 10 rank 9 terra bulls using [Absolute Devour] and awakened a talent [Earth Stomp]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured 10 rank 9 terra bulls using [Absolute Devour] and awakened nothing. . . . ¡®Ding, The host devoured 10 rank 9 terra bulls using [Absolute Devour] and awakened a skill [Mad Bull]. Leo only took less than a minute to consume nearly a hundred corpses of the Terra Bulls. He awakened a talent when he consumed the first 10 corpses and skill during thest 10 corpses, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ¡®Mooh¡¯ ¡°I am going to kill you today.¡± The level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull that was sted off into the distance from ¡®Radius st¡¯ took some time to regain its bnce on the marsh. However, he saw Leo devour all the corpses of his underlings, making him very angry. Hence, he rushed toward Leo with two long horns pointing at Leo. [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st] ¡®Boom¡¯ Even though Leo could use the ultimate effect of the [Mighty Combustion], he didn¡¯t use it because the talent would fall into the cooldown for an hour. Leo didn¡¯t want that to happen. So, he repeatedly used the first effect of the [Mighty Combustion]. [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st] ¡®Boom¡¯ [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st] . . Leo used it five times within a short time, and each time he used that attack, the skin of the supreme-ranked terra bull burned a little, and his defence became weak. ¡®Wait a second. If I used my Arcane silver or the quasi-supreme ranked battle axe, could I kill him?¡¯ Leo could already tell that the entire Marsh Lands would soon be filled with everyone. However, when he looked at the supreme-ranked terra bull¡¯s brown-coloured hide turn into ck colour because of his radius sts, Leo wanted to deal one final blow before escaping from there. [Battle axe¡¯s skill ¨C Lacerating Strike] Once Leo decides something, he willplete it at any cost. After deciding to kill the supreme-ranked terra bull, he jumped at the terra bull about to rush at him and cleaved with the quasi-supreme ranked battle-axe. ¡®Kacha¡¯ The defence of the terra bull had greatly weakened because of the repeated ¡®Radius st¡¯. So, there was no surprise as Leo chopped the head of the terra bull with a perfect cut. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host¡­ ¡®Ding, A few system notifications rang in his head; however, Leo was not in the mood to check them as he could see many beasts rushing to this ce from all sides. ¡®What should I do now?¡¯ **** Gift a Magic Castle and get 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 166 Mega Terra Bull Transformation ¡®What should I do now?¡¯ Leo was surrounded by the beasts and monsters from all sides, and it was impossible to escape from them without getting seriously injured or killed. ¡®Since I can¡¯t avoid them, I have to reduce the number of beasts and monsters that persuade me.¡¯ [Wyvern Wings] As soon as he thought of a n, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time and summoned two huge wyvern wings on his back before flying into the sky at incredible speed. Initially, Leo thought of using his skill [Spectre] and hiding in the marsnds like before; however, it would be useless when so many beasts were running in the marsnds. Therefore, he chose [Wyvern Wings] and flew into the sky. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before the beasts rushed toward the explosion to realize what was happening, they saw Leo flying into the sky at an incredible speed. ¡°Zephyr Eagles, let¡¯s catch him.¡± ¡°Metal-wed vultures, what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s kill him and take the Heir from him.¡± . . Soon, all the flying beasts and monsters shot into the sky and started pursuing Leo. ¡®Come¡­follow me.¡¯-. Even though Leo saw level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked zephyr eagles along with Metal-wed vultures and other supreme-ranked monsters and countless rank 9 beasts follow him, Leo was not worried much. It was because Leo had already devised a n which he hoped would work without any problem. ¡®I hope¡­no¡­it should work.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he increased his flying speed. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull. ¡®Ding, Since it is the first supreme-ranked beast from the terr bull race, the rewards would be upgraded. ¡®Ding, You gained, 1) One [Supreme Promote Point]. 2) One fragment of God stone. 3) A new talent [ Mega Terra Bull Transformation]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured the corpse of the level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull using [Absoloute Devour] and awakened a skill [HeadBash]. ¡®Ding, The host has triggered the [Absolute Devour]¡¯s effect three times while devouring the Terra Bulls. As a result, the chances of awakening a new talent or skill will be reduced to one percent. Leo knew it would take some time for his pursuers to catch up to him. So, he used that time to check the system notifications he gained after killing and devouring the level 1 supreme-ranked terra bull. ¡®A new talent and a new skill?¡¯ Leo was not surprised much because he already knew that whenever he killed a supreme-ranked beast or monster, he would get one of their talents, and consuming their bodies using [Absolute Devour] would awaken a skill. ¡®Now, whenever I kill the terra bulls, I have to kill and devour a lot of them in order to awaken any talent or skill.¡¯ Leo¡¯s interest in gaining new talents and skills didn¡¯t decrease in the slightest, even after having so many of them. He wanted to have all types of talents and skills that could be useful in any possible situation. ¡°Wild human, give us the Heir and we will let you live.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Just ce the Heir on the ground and go on your way. We only want the reward from bringing the Heir back to the ming Lion King.¡± . . Leo¡¯s pursuers didn¡¯t see where he hid the Heir; however, it was known that the wild human has a space-rted talent. So, they asked Leo to give the Heir to him, and they would not bother him. ¡°Sure. Before that, catch me.¡± Leo would be a fool to believe their words as he increased the speed; however, it was still not enough to outfly the supreme-ranked flying-type beasts and monsters. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Mega Terra Bull Transformation (level 1). Talent Type: Special. Effect: The user can transform into a rank 1 terra bull with the main and passive talent. Main talent: Earthspike. Passive talent: Hardened skin. Note: When this talent is activated, the host can¡¯t use other talents or skills except for the talents and skills rted to the Terra Bull race. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Head Bash (level 1). Effect: The user could use his head to ram into the enemies dealing additional damage of 10 percent. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Earth Stomp (level 1).

Skill type: Passive Effect: Whenever the host bes furious, his body bulges a little, and all his battle prowess will be increased by 10 percent for five minutes. Note: During these five minutes, the user can¡¯t think much. After scoffing at his pursuers, Leo checked the information on his two new talents and skills. ¡®Huh? I can use the talents and skills rted to the Terra Bull race?¡¯ Leo was surprised to read the ¡®Note¡¯ for the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] because he was not expecting something like that. ¡°I think I have to awaken as many talents and skills belonging to the Terra bulls as possible. Not only will I have the talents and skills thate from the transformation, but I can also use the other talents and skills belonging to the Terra Bulls.¡± When this thought came to his head, Leo decided to kill more and more Terra Bulls. ¡®Eagle w¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡°Wild human, do you think you can fly faster than the supreme-ranked beast heroes like us?¡± It didn¡¯t take much time for the supreme-ranked beast heroes to catch up to Leo. As soon as they caught up to Leo, they shed at his huge wyvern wings and made him fall to the ground. ¡°Haha¡­I know I can¡¯t outfly you beasts.¡± Even though a supreme-ranked Zephyr eagle destroyed one of his wyvern wings, Leo couldnd on the ground without any problem.

Chapter 167 Terra Bull Tyrant [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect- Radius st] Looking at thousands of rank 9 beasts and monsters swarming towards, Leo slightly smiled as he used a 10-kilometer radius st. ¡®Boom¡¯ In the next second, a huge heatwave released from his body as an explosion urred in a 10-kilometer radius, turning all rank 8 and below monsters and beasts into ashes. Generally, the beasts below rank 9 were not allowed to leave their territories; however, the three bestial races made an exception. Since the matter is rted to the survival of their race, they allow rank 7 and rank 8 beast heroes to join the search to cover the significant search area. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Hiss¡¯ Painful screams and groans of the rank 9 beast heroes resounded in that 10-kilometer radius before copsing to the ground. As for the supreme-ranked beast heroes, their reaction speed was fast enough to activate their defensive moves. Nothing happened, even if they didn¡¯t use their defensive moves, other than a few burns. ¡°Wild human, even though you have a powerful talent, it is still at level 9. You can¡¯t kill us with that talent.¡± ¡°So, it is better for you to give us the Heir.¡±-. ¡°Are you going to give the Heir, or should we force you?¡± Other than a few hundred rank 9 beasts who survived because of the distance from Leo, all the supreme-ranked beast heroes were calm and asked Leo to give the ming lion heir to them. ¡®Ding, The host killed more than 1000 rank 8 beasts (Zephyr eagles, metal-wed vultures, winged mantises, and a few other flying-type monsters.) ¡®Ding, The host killed more than 5000 rank 7 beasts. ¡®Ding, The host killed 200 rank 9 beasts. ¡®Ding, The host gained a total of 50000 [Promote Points]. On the other hand, Leo received the system notifications in his head regarding the kill, giving arge number of [Promote Points]. However, after seeing two million [Promote Points] in the past, the 50000 [Promote Points] was not enough to excite him. So, he didn¡¯t think much about it and looked at the surviving flying-type monsters and beast heroes. ¡°That¡¯s right! I am just a rank 9 wild human hero. How can I go against the mighty supreme-ranked beast heroes like you?¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo replied with a bitter smile, making the surrounding beast heroes nod their heads in satisfaction. ¡°Good. At least you know your ce. Take out the Heir from the secret dimension or whatever it is called.¡± A level 3 supreme-ranked Zephyr Eagle asked Leo. ¡°Here.¡± With a thought, Leo summoned the lion cub from the beast storage device and held the cub in his arms. ¡°Now, whom should I give him?¡± Hiding his evil smile, Leo extended the lion cub in his arms and asked the supreme-ranked beast heroes. ¡°Whose else? The Heir should be given to us, the Zephyr eagles.¡± The same level 3 supreme-ranked Zephyr eagle extended its wings to fly closer to Leo. ¡°Stop joking. Today, I will be taking that Heir.¡± A level 3 metal-wed vulture pushed the Zephyr eagle aside as it flew towards Leo. ¡°Screech¡± The metal-wed vultures still have their numbers after the death of their king. Moreover, they didn¡¯t want to give up on the Heir because it was a perfect opportunity to take revenge for their king. Therefore, the vulture general didn¡¯t hesitate to push aside an eagle captain. ¡°Damn you¡­vultures. I am going to kill you.¡± The Eagle general became furious with the Vulture general¡¯s actions and wanted to kill him. ¡°Everyone, kill all these damn vultures.¡± While flying toward the Vulture general, the Eagle general ordered the level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked zephyr eagles to kill the vultures. ¡°Kill¡± The Vulture general was also the same as he ordered everyone from his side to fight the zephyr eagles. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take the Heir slowly.¡± A few supreme-ranked flying monsters wanted to use this opportunity to take the Heir from Leo; however, too bad, the Zephyr eagles and metal-wed vultures kept an eye on them. The moment they move towards Leo, they would be killed by either Zephyr eagles or metal-wed vultures. ¡®Damn it. Let¡¯s wait until they kill each other. Then, let¡¯s kill them no matter who wins between them and take the Heir for ourselves.¡¯ Other than thinking like this, the supreme-ranked monsters could only wait patiently, hoping the surviving side between the Eagle vs. Vulture to be severely injured. ¡®Haha¡­no matter how much intelligence they have, in the end, they are still the beasts.¡¯ Leo chuckled to himself, looking at the fight between the beasts and monsters. ¡®Little one, go and rest for now.¡¯ Even though Leo could use the ultimate effect of the [Mighty Combustion] and kill level 1 supreme-ranked beasts and monsters, he could not kill level 2 and level 3. So, he stored the lion cub in the beast storage device. ¡®Only if I had the title like [Eagle Killer], I could have killed level 2 supreme-ranked eagles or might even severely injure the level 3 supreme-ranked eagles.¡¯ Leo was able to kill level 2 spider captains because of the title. [Spectre] In the next second, Leo¡¯s body turned transparent as he passed through the ground. ¡®I hope I can find his father soon.¡¯ Right now, Leo didn¡¯t care about anything because the enemies pursuing him were no longer the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked beast heroes. Moreover, Leo felt level 4 and level 5 supreme-ranked beasts heroes might join the search soon. ¡®Even though my secret dimensional space is under maintenance, it is useless in front of those beast heroes as they could easily shatter my secret dimensional space.¡¯ Leo still felt a little anxious when he remembered how the first spider general saw through the secret space and shattered it with a simple attack. Therefore, Leo felt that to survive in the Beas, he had to find the ming Lion King. ¡°Where do you think you are going? Come out now.¡± ¡®Rumble¡¯ As Leo was traveling underground in his spectre form, a raspy voice resounded from the surface, and in the next second, the entire ground shook as Leo¡¯s body was thrown out of the underground. ¡°Terra Bull Tyrant?¡± Seeing the massive bull in front of him, Leo felt a shiver in his spine. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 168 Making a Deal with Terra Bull Tyrant On the ground, a huge brown-coloured bull with broken horns on its head was waiting for Leo. It was none other than one of the four bestial rulers of the Beas, the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°You have some weird talents and skills; however, they are useless in front of absolute strength.¡± Even though Leo was in the [Spectre] form, the Terra Bull Tyrant could see him. The Terra Bull Tyrant scoffed at Leo as he used [Earth Prision]. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, thin bars made up of earth came out of the ground and imprisoned Leo. ¡°Now, let¡¯s see where you can escape.¡± As a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero, Leo was nothing in the eyes of the Terra Bull Tyrant as he walked close to Leo and asked, ¡°If you want to live, give the Heir and be my servant. As long as you are my servant, I will make sure to protect you from the Spider Queen.¡± Since the wild human could turn the entire Beas upside down, Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant, wanted to make Leo his servant.-. Of course, before that, Leo had to give the Heir. ¡°Can you really protect me from the Spider Queen and the Zephyr Gaint Eagle?¡± Leo was good at acting, as he asked Sutin with a severe look. Besides the Spider Queen, the King of the Zephyr Eagles also wanted him dead because he had killed more than 100 rank 9 and thousands of rank 7 and 8 zephyr eagles. As the King of the Zephyr eagle, if the Zephyr Gaint Eagle didn¡¯t take revenge for his falling underlings, he would lose face in front of his remaining underlings. ¡°In my eyes, they were nothing. But, once you give the Heir, my terra bull race would be the second most powerful race in the Beas with the help of the ming Lion King.¡± Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t think much as he promised he would protect Leo if he agreed to his conditions. ¡°Does that mean you are willing to be my servant, right?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t think Leo would agree to be his servant so easily. ¡°Prove it. Because I am a very doubtful person that doesn¡¯t trust anyone so easily.¡± When the Terra Bull Tyrant caught him, Leo was anxious; however, he was sure that as long as he had the Heir in his hands, no beast hero could kill him. It was because, if he dies, they don¡¯t know how to bring out the Heir from the secret dimensional space. Nevertheless, when he heard that the Terra Bull Tyrant was nning to make him into his servant, Leo thought of an evil n. ¡®As long as this n seeds, I can replenish my [Promote points] and at the same time awaken the talents and skills from the Terra Bull Race.¡¯ Leo had already decided to gain as many skills and talents as possible from the Terra Bull Race. So, of course, he would give his all to get them. ¡°I, Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant, swear in the name of the Terra Bull God that as long as this wild human named Leo agrees to be my servant, I will never kill him.¡± Without any hesitation, Terra Bull Tyrant swore in the presence of his Beast God. ¡°Now, give the Heir and ept me as your master.¡± As swearing the oath, the Terra Bull Tyrant urged Leo to give the Heir. ¡°What about your generals and captains? What if you make them kill after I give the Heir?¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t summon the Heir out of the Beast Storage Device; instead, he raised another question, making the Terra Bull Tyrant slightly angry. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t dare to kill you right now and take the ming Lion Heir?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant spoke in a raspy voice as he snipped hot air through its nostrils. ¡°Of course, you can easily kill a rank 9 human hero like me.¡± There was no fear on Leo¡¯s face as he continued, ¡°However, after killing me, you will soon follow me to the other world because the ming Lion King would not let you live.¡± By the end of his words, Leo¡¯s face had a cold smile, making the Terra Bull Tyrant could not help but give in to Leo¡¯s conditions. What Leo said was true. The Terra Bull Tyrant might have the power to crush Leo into nothing instantly; however, without the ming lion heir, he would also die along with his entire race in the ws of the ming Lion King. ¡°Fine. Let¡¯s go to my territory first. I will make everyone from my race swear in front of you. After that, you have to give the Heir to me.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant was helpless; however, he decided to give in to Leo and took him to the territory. ¡°Also, I have another request.¡± While following the Terra Bull Tyrant to his territory, ¡®The Evergreen Grasnds¡¯, Leo decided to ask for another request. ¡°What is it?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant asked in a serious tone. ¡°Send someone to inform the ming Lion King toe to your territory and take the Heir. Say that you have sessfully found the Heir. By doing so, the ming Lion King would definitely feel grateful to you.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant wanted to reject Leo¡¯s request after listening to it; however, when he heard it, he became excited and nodded in agreement. ¡°I will send someone to the Emberfields right away.¡± As they were about to enter the Evergreen Grasnds, Sutin ordered a supreme-ranked terr bull to go to the Emberfields. ¡°No. You can¡¯t do that.¡± However, Leo stopped Sutin as he informed him, ¡°Minister Ren was trying to kill the Heir. So, don¡¯t go to the Emberfields. Instead, send the level 9 terra bulls under you to search for the ming Lion King and inform him about the Heir.¡± ¡°What?¡± Sutin was shocked to hear Leo¡¯s words and could not believe it; however, he didn¡¯t want to take any risk. Therefore, he sent 100 rank 9 Terra Bulls in all directions to search for the ming Lion King. ¡®So far, so good. It will not take much time toplete my n.¡¯ Leo chuckled with an evil smile in his heart as he asked, ¡°Make all the supreme-ranked terra bulls swear the oath, and I will give you the Heir.¡± **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters.

Chapter 169 Inviting a Wolf into the Territory Terra Bulls have strong physical bodies; however, they didn¡¯t have much and could be considered pitifully low when ites to intelligence. Their thinking was always straightforward, and it was easy to fool them as long as you used the right words. However, the moment they realize you are fooling them, it will be the end of you unless you have more strength than them. On a side note, why would anyone fool someone when they could easily submit to the other party with their strength. Since Leo didn¡¯t have enough to overpower the Terra Bull Tyrant, he could only use the underhanded methods to survive in this grade 1 dog-eat-dog world. ¡°As you asked, I made all the supreme-rank bulls in my territory swear that they would not kill you as long as you agree to be my servant. Now, give me the Heir.¡± After sending a few rank 9 terra bulls to search for the ming Lion King, Sutin made all the supreme-rank bulls take the same oath as him under the presence of their Beast God. Therefore, the Terra Bull Tyrant asked Leo to bring out the Heir. ¡°I have no problem bing the Great Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s Servant.¡± Leo bowed to Sutin as he revealed an evil smile. He had already learned from the system that, unlike the water spiders, the terra bulls couldn¡¯t make others their ves.-. Since it was just a matter of a few words, Leo said those words to assure the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Little one,e out.¡± Soon, he summoned the lion cub. ¡°Child, you can rest in my territory until your fatheres here.¡± Seeing the lion cub in front of him, Sutin became excited as he ordered the supreme-ranked bulls to take care of the lion cub. ¡°Your Majesty, I am tired from running all day. If you don¡¯t mind, I will take some rest for today.¡± Giving the Terra Bull Tyrant some time to excite, Leo asked his permission to rest. ¡°No worries. Take a rest for one week. He will take you to your resting ce.¡± Sutin was in a great mood because the Heir was finally in his territory. So, he nodded and asked someone to guide Leo to the guest den. ¡°I want to be with Brother Leo. Can I go with him?¡± The lion cub didn¡¯t wait for the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s reply as he jumped into Leo¡¯s arms. ¡°Your Majesty..¡± Since Leo had already started acting as a servant, he thought he might as well give his all in that role. Therefore, the moment the lion cub jumped into his arms, Leo stopped in his steps and was about to ask for permission from the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Since the Heir wants to be with him, let him take care of the Heir.¡± Before Leo could ask for permission, Sutin had already given his full approval for Leo to take care of the lion cub. ¡®I thinkpared to getting my hands on the Heir, making that wild human as my servant might turn out to be rewarding.¡¯ Seeing how close the Heir had be to his servant, Sutin was obviously happy and asked a few supreme-ranked terra bulls to take care of Leo and the Heir. ¡°Give them whatever they ask and let them do whatever they want.¡± However, there was something the mighty Terra Bull Tyrant forgot regarding his deal with Leo. Sutin was so excited that he finally got his hands on the lion cub that he forgot to make Leo sign a contract regarding their deal. Unlike the Terra Bull Tyrant, Leo was not bound by any oath or God. Sutin only thought that Leo became grateful that he would protect him from the other two bestial gods. Moreover, Leo gave him the Heir as promised. So, the Terra Bull Tyrantpletely believed Leo¡¯s words. ¡­. ¡°Brother Leo, is this territory safe?¡± Lionel asked Leo in a low voice as a few supreme-ranked terra bulls guided Leo and Lionel. After seeing the true colours of his Uncle Ren, Lionel started doubting everything. So, he asked Leo to confirm whether they could trust the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This will be the safest ce for us to stay until your fatheres here.¡± Leo assured the lion cub. Seeing that his own uncle wants the lion cub dead, Leo could not help but feel sympathetic towards the lion cub. So, he no longer scoffed at the cub and answered patiently. ¡°Mighty Bull Captains, if you don¡¯t mind, can you please give us the introduction of this territory?¡± Looking at his surroundings, Leo asked the two supreme-ranked terra bulls guiding them with a face full of respect. ¡®Huh? Why is Brother Leo acting so respectful in front of the Terra Bull Tyrant and these supreme-ranked terra bulls? Did he really be the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s servant?¡¯ After spending some time with Leo and going through a few fights, even though Lionel didn¡¯t know everything about Leo, he learned a few things. ¡®ording to what I saw, Brother Leo is not the type to be anyone¡¯s servant? If he wanted to be a servant, he would have epted the Spider Qeen¡¯s offer long back and avoided all the troubles.¡¯ Lionel was trying to see through Leo¡¯s ce and thought, ¡®It looks like Brother Leo is really trying to do something to the Terra Bulls.¡¯ When this thought came to his mind, Lionel was excited as he started looking forward to seeing what Leo had in store for the Tera Bulls. ¡°The Evergreen Grasnds is ruled by the Terra Bull Tyrant and it is the secondrgest territory after the Emberfields.¡± ¡°Human, do you see a huge earth den? It is Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s majestic den.¡± ¡°As for the ten dens that were a little smaller, they were Bull General¡¯s Dens.¡± Seeing that Leo called them ¡®Mighty¡¯ along with a face full of respect, the two supreme-ranked terra bulls were over the moon and hurriedly gave the introduction of their territory. They pointed at the huge dens in their territory that could be easily visible no matter where you stand in the Evergreen Grasnds. As the name suggests, this territory was filled with green grass everywhere and was the special food that the Tera Bulls could only consume. There is some special energy inside the grass that promotes the growth of the Terra Bulls. ¡°Since the grasnds are filled with a special type of grass that was extremely useful for us, the terra bulls, we have the highest numbers after the water spiders.¡± ¡°As for the strength of the top level warriors of our territory, it is not bad as we have ten level 3, 20 level 2 and 50 level 1 supreme-ranked terra bulls. These bull warriors are given the titles of Bull General, Level 2 Bull Captain and Level 1 Bull Capatain respectively.¡± Since their leader had trusted Leon and ordered them to take good care of him and the Heir, they answered everything Leo asked. ¡°Oh. Then what is that? It is even bigger than a Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s majestic den?¡± Leo stored all the information regarding the Terra Bulls, and soon, he pointed at a huge den and asked the Bull Captains about it. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 170 Dome Dens In the Evergreen Grasnds, there were a few huge dome-like structures in the distance. Each of these dome-like structures was much bigger than the residence of the Bull Generals, and even the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s residence was smaller in front of those dome-like structures. Leo entered the Terra Bulls¡¯ territory with a n in his head, and ording to this n, he should gain more information about their territory to seed in his n. Therefore, he asked the supreme-ranked Terra Bulls about those dome-like structures. ¡°They are the residences of the rank 6, 7, and 8 Terra Bulls, respectively.¡± One of the supreme-ranked terra bulls answered Leo¡¯s question by pointing at the three dome-like structures in three corners of the territory. ¡°As for that two side by side dome-like structures, they were for residences for the rank 1-3 and rank 4-6 terra bulls, respectively.¡± ¡°In our territory, only when the terra bulls be the rank 9 beast heroes will they be given a separate residence. That¡¯s the reason why there were only a few thousand dens in this territory.¡± Soon, the second supreme-ranked terra bull added a few more things and exined more about the terra bulls and their territory. ¡°Oh.¡± Leo nodded his head in understanding as he silently thought, ¡®So, I have a total of five dome-like structures to take care of. Good.¡¯ There was no need to remember the locations because these dome-like structures could be seen anywhere in the territory.-. ¡°This is the special guest den prepared for the Heir. Human, you can also temporarily stay in this den.¡± The supreme-ranked terra bulls didn¡¯t notice the cold smile on Leo¡¯s ce as they showed a guest den for him and the Heir to stay until the ming Lion King arrived at their territory. ¡°Little one, let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, Leo and Lionel entered a den made up of the earth. Even though the supreme-ranked terra bulls said it was a guest den, it was very simple, with two nest-like beds in the center of the den. ¡°Brother Leo, you are nning something, right?¡± As soon as they entered the den, the lion cub asked Leo with an exciting look. ¡°What? I am not nning anything.¡± Leo shrugged as he shook his head and went to sleep. ¡°I am so tired after running from one territory to another. Let¡¯s quietly wait for your father toe here.¡± After saying those words, Leo didn¡¯t speak with the lion cub and went to sleep. Leo was not tired physically; however, he was tired mentally and just wanted to sleep well for a couple of hours before executing his n. ¡®In a couple of hours, it will be night, and I can start my n in the dark.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s mind before going to sleep. He was sure that it would take a minimum of three to five hours to find the ming lion king, and it was only if the rank 9 terra bulls were lucky; however, it might take more than 12 hours to find the ming lion king. Time continued to pass, and more than five hours passed in a sh. ¡®It looks like they still haven¡¯t found the ming Lion King.¡¯ After sleeping for five hours, Leo felt in good form as he walked out of the den, only to see the darkness. There were a few burning torches here and there; however, Leo didn¡¯t find any terra bull other than the two rank 9 terra bulls that were standing guard in front of the guest den. ¡®Looks like everyone was sleeping. It is the right time to execute my npletely.¡¯ Unlike the other races, the terra bulls were not worried about the survival of their race anymore because the Heir was in their hands, and the ming lion king would not destroy their race if they returned the Heir to him. Hence, all the terra bulls were peacefully sleeping without any worries. ¡°Human, you are not allowed toe out of the guest den at this hour of the day. Go back inside.¡± Before Leo could think from which dome-like structure he could choose first, he was urged by the two rank 9 terra bulls to go inside the guest den. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded and quietly entered the guest den. ¡®Did they think I would go out of the guest den so openly?¡¯ Leo scoffed at them and asked the system, ¡®System, how many supreme-ranked Terra Bulls are watching me?¡¯ In the past, his survival rate was so high because of the system. If someone were watching him, it would warn him regarding it. Since they must have heard crazy things about him killing level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked water spiders, and it was his first day in their territory, it was nothing surprising for the terra bulls to watch Leo. Therefore, he asked the system how many terra bulls were watching him. ¡®Ding, Currently, no one is watching the host. All the terra bulls drank a lot and were in a deep sleep. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was speechless at the system notification because he was expecting a dozen or even more supreme-ranked terra bulls to keep an eye on him. However, they were no longer worried about Leo and partied because they found the Heir. ¡®I know the terra bulls are dumb, but I didn¡¯t expect them to be dumbest.¡¯ Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®It looks like I am expecting intelligent actions from these dumb bulls. Anyway, it is a good thing for me to execute my n.¡¯ Since no one was keeping eyes on him other than the two rank 9 terra bulls standing guard outside, Leo decided to execute the n. [Spectre] Without wasting any time, he used the skill [Spectre] that gives him the ability to pass through anything. ¡°Brother Leo, where are you going?¡± However, before he could leave the guest den, the lion cub woke up from his sleep and asked Leo. ¡°I wille back in an hour. Until then, rest.¡± Leo could not bring the cub through the wall. Moreover, he wanted to finish his n and return to the den stealthily. So, he left the lion cub and traveled underground to one of the dome-like structures. ¡®Let¡¯s begin the massacre part two.¡¯ **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 171 Secret Massacre [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Silver light]. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ Leo entered one dome den belonging to rank 1 to 3 terra bulls and silently released multiple silver lights using his Arcane Silver Sword. ¡®Ding, The host killed 600000 rank 1 rank Terra Bulls and gained no [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 250000 rank 2 rank Terra Bulls and gained 250000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 100000 rank 3 rank Terra Bulls and gained one million [Promote Points]. The rank 1 to 3 terra bulls didn¡¯t even feel pain as they were sliced into half by Leo. Soon, Leo received three system notifications regarding the killing of the terra bulls, and he received more than one million [Promote Points] in a few seconds. ¡®Even though it looks small outside, the space inside is very big.¡¯-. Leo was surprised by the huge space inside the dome den to hold nearly one million terra bulls. ¡®Let¡¯s devour.¡¯ [Abolute Devour] In Leo¡¯s perspective, even the mosquito meat is also meat which he doesn¡¯t want to waste. So, without wasting any time, he started working on devouring all the corpses that were lying on the ground. ¡®Ding, The host devoured 100 rank 1 terra bulls and awakened no talent or skill. ¡®Ding, The host devoured¡­. ¡®Ding, The host¡­ . . Soon, the system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, and he was not surprised that he could not awaken any talent or skill. ¡®I hope I can awaken at least a single talent or skill after devouring all these corpses.¡¯ Since he had already trigged the effect of the [Absolute Devour] by three times from devouring the Terra Bulls, the chances of awakening any new talent or skill from devouring the Terra Bulls had reduced to 1 percent. Moreover, he was devouring rank 1 to rank 3 terra bulls with very weak strengthpared to Leo¡¯s. Nevertheless, Leo hoped to awaken at least one talent from this dome den. ¡®Ding, The host consumed nearly one million basic ranked terra bulls and awakened a new skill [Roaring Bull]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Water Bomb] is upgraded to level 5. Leo took nearly one hour to consume all the corpses of the terra bulls in the dome den, and finally, he was rewarded for his hard work with a new skill. ¡®Finally, a new skill.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the new skill and muttered, ¡®Even after I devoured nearly a million terra bulls, a level 1 skill is upgraded from level 1 to 5.¡¯ This shows how low the experience gained from consuming the low-level beasts is. ¡®Looks like I have merged this new skill with [Battle Roar]; however, I need to upgrade [Roaring Bull] to level 8 before merging it.¡¯ Even though there were many minor things like upgrading the talent [Heavenly ming Lion transformation], checking out his new talents and skills and merging the skills and talents with goodpatibility, Leo didn¡¯t waste his time on them. The most important thing right now was to clear all rank 1 to 8 terra bulls before returning to the guest den. ¡®Let¡¯s go.¡¯ Without wasting time, Leo visited the second dome den where the terra bulls with strength ranging from rank 4 to rank 6 were sleeping after searching for the Heir in the wilderness for the whole day. Currently, they are no longer worried about their race¡¯s survival. So, they were able to enter deep slumber in a short time. [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Silver light]. Like before, Leo released multiple slight rays that shed the sleeping terra bulls into two pieces. Leo preferred this weapon skill despite having many talents and skills because it made no noise. Even cutting through the terra bulls made smooth cuts as though it was shing through the water. ¡®Ding, The host killed 100000 rank 4 rank Terra Bulls and gained two million [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 100000 rank 5 rank Terra Bulls and gained three million [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 100000 rank 6 rank Terra Bulls and gained five million [Promote Points]. In no time, Leo¡¯s [Promote Points] had crossed the 10 million range. ¡®Massacre is the only way to be rich.¡¯ Looking at the twelve million [Promote Points] in his [Talent Promoter], Leo could not help but feel he had truly be rich. ¡®However, I need a lot of [Promote Points] if I want to upgrade my talents to level 9.¡¯ Upgrading the level 6 special talent into a level 7 needed two million [Promote points] and how much Leo needed to spend if he wanted to upgrade the same special talent to level 9 or even supreme rank. ¡®Moreover, I will be awakening more and more talents without the [Abolute Devour]; I need to have enough [Promote points] to upgrade any newly awakened talent to level 9.¡¯ That¡¯s right! Leo nned to upgrade any newly awakened talent to level 9 instantly. So that he could use it in the battle right away; instead of waiting years until it bes level 9 on its own. So, even with 12 million [Promote Points], Leo felt it was not enough. [Absoulute Devour] After killing, the only thing left for him to do was devour the corpses using [Absolute Devour]. While devouring, he intentionally left the newly awakened talents because he wanted to upgrade them using [Promote Points] to increase the [Talent Promoter] ¡®s level. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Water Bomb] upgraded to level 7. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new skill [Terrastorm]. After consuming the three hundred thousand corpses of the Terra Bulls, Leo¡¯s skill [Water Bomb] upgraded to level 7 and at the same time, he awakened a new skill. ¡®Another skill added to the list. When I use [Mega Terra Bull Transformation], I will have a wide range of attacks.¡¯ Leo was adamant about getting more skills and talents from the Terra Bulls because he could use them with his special talent [Mega Terra Bull Transformation]. ¡®Now, it is time to take care of the advanced Terra Bulls.¡¯ After taking care of the two dome dens, Leo looked at the remaining two dome dens with an evil smile. **** Three Bonus Chapters will be released soon.

Chapter 172 [Bonus Chapter] Overpowered Mega Terra Bull Transformation ¡®Ding, The host killed all rank 7 and 8 terra bulls and gained 10 million [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host devoured all rank 7 and 8 terra bulls and awakened a talent and two skills. Before the sunrise in the Evergreen Grasnds, Leo had already killed all the terra bulls below rank 9 and quietly returned to the guest den. ¡®Phew¡­let¡¯s see whether the Terra Bull Tyrant could figure out it was me who wiped his entire race clear.¡¯ Leo chuckled to himself and decided to check all the rewards from his secret massacre while resting on the nest-like bed in the guest den. ¡®The first and foremost gains were one new talent and four new skills along with 22 million [Promote points].¡¯ ¡®Two newly awakened skills are upgraded to level 8.¡¯ ¡®And the surprising reward is a new title [Bull Executioner].¡¯ That¡¯s right! After killing all the terra bulls below rank 9, Leo received a new title simr to the [spider killer]. ¡®With this new title, killing the supreme-ranked terra bulls will be a piece of cake.¡¯ Leo looked forward to killing the supreme-ranked terra bulls because the more powerful his targets were, the more rewards he would gain.-. ¡®Let¡¯s wait until the Terra Bull Tyrant learns about the secret massacre. Until then, let¡¯s use the rewards gained from the secret massacre.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about killing the rank 9 and supreme-ranked terra bulls and started sorting his rewards. Since the effects of the [Spider Killer] and [Bull Executioneer] were the same, Leo didn¡¯t bother to check them repeatedly; instead, he decided to do other things. ¡®Let¡¯s upgrade the [Heavenly ming lion transformation].¡¯ Even though Leo was more interested in his new transformation talent, he could only upgrade the [Heavenly ming lion transformation] to level 7 before upgrading any other talents in the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, Do you want to spend two million [Promote Points] and upgrade the [Heavenly mining Lion Transformation]? ¡®Yes.¡¯ He had more than 20 million [Promote Points], and the talent [Heavenly mining Lion Transformation] was excellent. So, there was nothing much for Leo to think about as he directly upgraded the talent. ¡®Ding, The host spent two million [Promote Points] and sessfully upgraded the [Heavenly ming lion transformation] to level 7 (Advanced ss). ¡®Ding, The host has met the Upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter]. 1) 100000 [Promote Points]. 2) Upgrade a single special type-elite ss talent into Advanced ss talent. ¡®Ding, Do you want to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 5? ¡®Yes¡¯ Even though Leo was not hoping much from the [Talent Promoter] until it became a level 7 talent, he needed to upgrade it to reach level 7. Therefore, he nodded his head and upgraded it to level 5. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Talent Promoter] upgraded to level 5. Soon, the level 5 [Talent Promoter] information soon appeared in front of Leo. ¡®As I expected, there were no major changes.¡¯ Besides the number of talents that Leo could upgrade simultaneously, there were no major changes. ¡®However, I am interested in the upgrade requirements for the next level.¡¯ Since Leo already has so many [Promote Points] and could umte even more in the future, he wanted to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7 as fast as possible. Hence, he checked the upgrade requirements of the [Talent Promoter] for the next level. ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements: 1) 500000 [Promote Points]. 2) Upgrade a single special elite ss talent into Advanced ss talent and three normal elite ss talents into Advanced ss talents. Even though the upgraded requirements had increased, Leo felt it was still within his expectations. So, he casually nodded his head and started upgrading the next special talent. ¡®Upgrade the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] to level 7.¡¯ With a slight smile, he directly upgraded the level 1 special talent to level 7. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] has sessfully upgraded to level 7. It took Leo nearly 2.5 million [Promote points] to upgrade the talent to level 7. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t think much as he still had 18 million [Promote points]. ¡®I think I will upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7 before I leave Beas.¡¯ As long as Leo upgrades three more elite ss talents into advanced ss talents, Leo could once again upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to reach level 6. After that, as long as he puts in some effort, he could reach level 7 [Talent Promoter] by the time his time on the Beas is finished. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Mega Terra Bull Transformation (level 7). Talent Type: Special. Effect: The user can transform into a rank 7 terra bull for one hour. Main Talent: Earthspike, Earthquake, Earth Stomp, Tyrant bull rush, Horn attack, Iron tail. Passive Talent: Hardened skin, Earth Healing, Underground recovery, Mega Terra Bull. Additional Talents: [Bull Summoner], Earth Stomp. Additional Skills: Madbull, Headbash, Roaring bull, Terrastorm, Rock Rain, Terrast Note: When this talent is activated, the host can¡¯t use other talents or skills except for the talents and skills rted to the Terra Bull race. The full information on level 7 [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] appeared in front of Leo¡¯s eyes. ¡®Isn¡¯t this what I am aiming for? Not only do I have the skills and talents from the bull transformation, but I can even use additional talents while I am in the bull form.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo felt his [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] had be so powerful. ¡®I wonder whether I can kill the supreme-ranked terra bulls while I am in this form?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo thought of something crazy and started nning on it. Because the battle prowess of the terra bulls would decrease by 50 percent because of his [Bull Exectuioneer] title, Leo wanted to give it a try. ¡®I wonder whether I can gain simr titles by killing the more than million Zephyr eagles?¡¯ With Leo¡¯s two titles in the Beas, he could fight all types of spiders and bulls with much confidence because their battle prowess would be reduced by 25 percent, giving him a huge advantage over them. So, he thought of getting another title rted to Zephyr eagles so that he could easily find all types of eagle beasts and monsters in the future. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s not think about it.¡¯ Soon, Leo shook his head and started working on merging his talents and skills. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 173 [Bonus Chapter] Upgrading and Merging Leo only thought of gaining a new title from killing the Zephyr eagles; however, he didn¡¯t have any ns of killing the ming Lions. It was not because he was scared of the ming Lion King; instead, he had other ns for the ming Lions. ¡®If I kill the ming lions, my other n would be ruined. So, it is better to not mess with the ming lions.¡¯ After upgrading the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to level 7, it unlocked a simr effect as the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation], where he could use additional talents and skills rted to the ming lions while he was in the Heavenly ming Lion Form. However, Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to kill and devour the ming lions. So, he was not as excited as he did for the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation]. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to merge the skills.¡¯ The system informed him that he had simr skills and talents multiple times. So, it was finally time for him to merge them. ¡®Merge the level 8 talents [Single Strike] and [Dual Strike].¡¯ First, he checked his talent list, found two talents that could be merged, and ordered the system to merge them using the third system ability [Talent Merging Ability]. ¡®Ding, The two-level 8 talents [Single Strike] and [Dual Strike] merged into a new talent [Triple Strike]. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Triple Strike (level 8).-. Effect: The user can double his attack power with three back-to-back strikes. Strike one: 50 percent increase in his attack power. Strike two: 100 percent increase in his attack power. Strike three: 200 percent increase in his attack power. Note: After strike three, the user has to stack the three attacks again to deal 200 percent damage to his enemy. ¡®Cool.¡¯ As soon as he merged a new skill, Leo checked the information on it and was satisfied with the upgrade in its effect. ¡®Level 8 has already increased 200 percent of my attack power. I wonder how much a level 9 talent will increase my attacking power.¡¯ Leo decided to use this new merged talent 100 times before upgrading it to level 9 and seeing its full power. ¡®System, merge these two talents. From the skill section, merge them.¡¯ Soon, Leo didn¡¯t waste time and started merging the remaining talents and skills after checking his user interface. ¡®Ding, Water Control (Level 7) + Water Resistance (Level 7) = Water Maniption (Level 7). ¡®Ding, Roaring Bull (Level 8)+ Battle Roar (Level 8) = Roaring Battle Bull (Level 8). ¡®Ding, Earth Bomb (Level 8)+ Water Bomb (Level 8) = Dual Elemenental Bomb (Warth and Earth) (Level 8). ¡®Ding, Rock Rain (Level 1) + Terra Storm (Level 1) = Terra Rock Storm (Level 1). Using the [Talent Merging Ability], Leo merged all the talents and the skills that could be merged without failure. ¡®Even though my number of talents and skills have reduced, my overall battle prowess has increased.¡¯ Looking at five newly merged talents and skills, Leo was greatly satisfied. Whenever Leo merged two skills or talents, the effects of the two skills would be merged and be stronger, just like the [Triple Stirke], where his attack power would be increased by 200 percent. Previously, his attack power was less than a 100 percent increment at the same level. ¡®Ding, The host upgraded the talents [Earth Stomp] and [Bull Summoner] to level 7 using the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The host needs to upgrade one more talent to meet the upgrade requirements for [Talent Promoter]. Leo upgraded two talents, and he only needed one more before upgrading the [Talent Promoter] to level 6. ¡®In any case, I have to umte more talents. So, it would be easier for me to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7.¡¯ Even though he was yet to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 6, Leo already wanted to make preparations for level 7. Time continued to pass as two hours passed by. ¡°Mooh¡± Finally, an angry bellow resounded in the entire Evergreen Grasnds. ¡°Who dares to do such an unforgivable thing.¡± In the next second, Sutin¡¯s angry voice resounded in all directions as he asked everyone to assemble in front of his majestic den. Soon, everyone, including Leo and the lion cub, arrived in front of Sutin¡¯s den. ¡°What were you doingst night? How could you let that happen under your watch?¡± By the time they arrived, Leo saw the Terra Bull Tyrant was scolding a group of supreme-ranked terra bulls. However, they felt wronged because it was the Terra Bull Tyrant who hosted a party for them and as a result, they were unable to do their duty properly. Nevertheless, they didn¡¯t have the guts to talk back to the Terra Bull Tyrant. Hence, they listened to Sutin¡¯s scolding with a helpless look. ¡®Come on. Doubt me. You should doubt me¡­idiot bull. What¡¯s taking you so long?¡¯ On the other hand, Leo was waiting for the Terra Bull Tyrant to use him of killing the rank 1 to 8 terra bulls. ¡°It must be humans.¡± Finally, the terra bull tyrant angrily med the humans. ¡®That¡¯s right! It¡¯s humans¡­huh? Wait a second? It¡¯s only a human where did the other humanse from?¡¯ Leo was about to praise that the Terra Bull Tyrant was not as dumb as he thought; however, in the end, the Terra Bull Tyrant was even dumber than he thought. ¡°Your majesty, we should kill those wild humans. They are bing bolder and boldertely.¡± ¡°Yes, majesty. Only those wild humans are capable of doing such an unforgivable act.¡± Soon, the supreme-ranked terra bull started ming the wild humans. Even though they don¡¯t know who killed all the terra bulls below rank 9, they wanted to me someone, and since the wild humans whose territory is close to the Evergreen Grasnds have some bad blood with them, they med the wild humans. Nevertheless, other than the wild human, the terra bulls were unable to think who was capable of stealthily killing their young generations. So, they decided to wage war on the wild humans. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡°Sutin, where is my son?¡± Suddenly, a lion¡¯s roar followed by an anxious voice resounded in the Evergreen Grasnds. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters.

Chapter 174 [Bonus Chapter] Furious Terra Bull Tyrant It was none other than the ming Lion King who learned that his son was in the Evergreen Grasnds from one of the rank 9 Terra Bulls. ¡°Fury, I have been waiting for you. Pleasee in.¡± Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant was angry because of the secret massacre, he suppressed it and invited him into the territory. ¡°Where is my son?¡± After not seeing his son for two days, Fury was worried and anxious about his son. So, the first thing he asked after entering the Evergreen Grasnds was to see his son. ¡°Father, I am here.¡± Lionel was excited as he sprung out of Leo¡¯s arms and jumped onto the ming Lion King. ¡°Son, are you alright? Do you know how worried I was?¡± Fury might be the most powerful beast hero in the Beas; however, in front of his son, it was a father who could not bear to see his son getting hurt. ¡°Father, I am alright.¡± Lionel excitedly jumped around and said, ¡°Father, Uncle Ren is¡­.¡± The lion cub didn¡¯t waste any time as he exined everything that happened in the Emberfields with Minister Ren.-. ¡°What? Ren said such things?¡± Fury was shocked and could not believe his son¡¯s words. ¡°Father, you have to believe me. Uncle Ren wants his son to be the next leader of the ming Lion race.¡± Lionel knew how much he had trusted Minister Ren. But, even for him, it took a while to recover from the shock. So, he urged his father to believe him. ¡°Of course, I believe you, my son.¡± Even though Fury nodded, his eyes could not believe his blood brother would do something like that. ¡°Fury, I helped you find your son. I hope you can remember this and help me in the future.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t beat around the bush and said that the ming lion king had to help him in the future. ¡°F*ck off.¡± However, to his surprise, the Terra Bull Tyrant got a scoff from the ming Lion King, followed by an exnation, ¡°You three B*stards dared to kidnap my son and made me swear on the Beast God not to attack you for 100 years. So what else do you want?¡± Fiery mes shot out of the ming Lion King¡¯s body as he angrily looked at the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Fury, aren¡¯t you going too far by calling us B*stards?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant gets furious easily, and when he heard the ming Lion King call him and the other two bestial rulers ¡®B*stards¡¯, he was furious and rushed towards Fury. ¡°Did you forget if you attack me, I will no longer be bound by the oath, and then I can kill you and your underlings?¡± Fury didn¡¯t even bother to dodge the iing Terra Bull Tyrant; instead, he scoffed at Sutin as he said something that made the Terra Bull Tyrant instantly halt his steps. That¡¯s right! Even though Fury swore he would not attack the three bestial territories if they returned his son to him, that doesn¡¯t mean he would endure even if they attacked him. The moment they attack him, Fury would no longer be bound by the oath, and it would be the end of that particr race who attacked him. ¡°Father, Brother Leo had protected me and brought me home; however, Uncle Ren tried to kill us. Even then, Brother Leo protected me. If not for Brother Leo, I would have died already.¡± ¡°Also, I bragged to him that you would reward him generously.¡± Lionel asked his father to reward Leo generously. ¡°Of course. He would be the benefactor to our ming lion race.¡± Fury was not only known for his ferocity, but he was also known for his generosity. As long as you help his race, he would protect you even if the other three bestial rulers want you dead. That¡¯s how generous the ming Lion King was. ¡°Thank you, Sir Fury.¡± Leo thanked the ming Lion King with a bow and was expectant about his reward. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the mission ¡®Heir of the ming Lion Race¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host is rewarded with a ¡®Fragment of the God Stone¡¯. ¡®Ding, As for the additional rewards, they will be given by the ming Lion King. Soon, Leo received a series of system notifications in his head informing him aboutpleting the mission. ¡®Main reward ¨C received. Let¡¯s hope the ming Lion King gives something useful.¡¯ Since his [Talent Swallowing Ability] is under a cooldown of six months, he could reduce it by three months using the ¡®Fragment of the God Stone¡¯; however, it was still not enough for Leo to use that ability. Therefore, he didn¡¯t use it and decided to wait until he received another fragment of the God stone. ¡°Human, follow us to the Emberfields.¡± ¡°Brother Leo, let¡¯s go.¡± Lionel waved his small paw at Leo to follow them. ¡°Okay.¡± Even though Leo had some ns for the Terra Bulls, he needed the protection of the ming Lion King. Moreover, he had already got what he needed from the Terra Bulls. Hence, he didn¡¯t hesitate much in following the ming Lion King. ¡°Human, what are you doing? Did you forget you are my servant?¡± Sutin¡¯s eyes were already read when the ming Lion King cursed him, and now, his servant dares to leave him. ¡°Do you think I became your servant? Wake up from your dreams.¡± Leo scoffed at the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Wild human, how dare you to fool me?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant could not hold its anger anymore and shouted, ¡°You think the ming Lion King could protect you just because you saved his son?¡± ¡°An oath binds him, and he could not stop me from killing you. So today, I will let you experience the consequences of fooling me, the Terra Bull Tyrant.¡± ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Sutin rushed at Leo with red eyes emitting full killing intent. ¡°Die¡± Within no time, Sutin reached Leo and wanted to stomp him to the ground. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters.

Chapter 175 Openly killing the Supreme-ranked Terra Bulls ¡®What a fool!¡¯ Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant was trying to kill him, Leo remained in his ce without having any ns to dodge. ¡®What is he doing? Is he nning to die?¡¯ On the side, the ming Lion King frowned when he saw Leo was remaining in his ce without dodging. ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. If Brother Leo is not dodging the iing attack that means he has something up his sleeve.¡± In the eyes of the ming Lion King, Leo was waiting for death, whereas in the eyes of Lionel, Leo was confident in stopping the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s attack. ¡°Go to hell.¡± Soon, the Terra Bull Tyrant reached Leo, wanting to stomp Leo to the ground. ¡®Boom¡¯ However, a brown-coloured barrier appeared around Leo, which sted the 10-meter huge Terra Bull Tyrant into his majestic den. ¡®What?¡± Fury and the terra bulls were shocked to see a level 6 supreme-ranked Terra Bull Tyrant sted away by a rank 9 wild human.-. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the Terra Bull God¡¯s protection? How can a human receive the protection from a Beast God?¡± With a single look, Fury could tell what protected Leo; however, he didn¡¯t understand why a Beast God would give his protection to a wild human? ¡®It had never happened in the Beas¡¯s history.¡¯ Fury looked at Leo and thought, ¡®Moreover, the protection is even stopping the Beast God¡¯s own followers from attacking that human.¡¯ ¡°Dumb Bull, did you forget that you swore an oath not to harm me in the presence of your Beast God? It¡¯s been less than a day since you swore that oath and you have already forgotten?¡± Leo walked towards the Terra Bull Tyrant, who was on the ground, and scoffed at him. ¡°Damn you, human.¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words made the Terra Bull Tyrant even more furious as he remembered the oath he and all the supreme-ranked Terra Bulls had made yesterday. ¡°All rank 9 Bull Warriors, kill this b*stard.¡± Since the supreme-ranked Terra Bulls also made the oath, the Terra Bull Tyrant could only order the rank 9 Terra Bulls to attack Leo. ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± Soon, hundreds of rank 9 Terra Bulls rushed at Leo from all directions. ¡°I wanted to quielty leave your territory after killing the rank 8 and below ranked terra bulls. Looks like you want me to erase your entrie race.¡± For Leo, even killing a level 2 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls was easy because of his title [Bull Executioneer], not to mention killing the rank 9 terra bulls was a piece of cake for him. [Dual Elemental Bomb] Leo used his newly merged level 8 skill and exploded the iing rank 9 Terra Bulls. Even though it was an only level lower than the rank 9 terra bulls, he was still able to kill them mainly because of his title [Bull Exectioneer]. Moreover, it was not a normal level 8 skill; instead, it was a Merged skill that could deal real damage even without the effects of the title. ¡°Father, did you see? That¡¯s how capable Brother Leo is.¡± Lionel excitedly said to his father as he looked at Leo with shining eyes. ¡°It looks like he is not an ordinary human.¡± Initially, Fury wondered how Leo got the protection of the Terra Bull God; however, after hearing Leo¡¯s words, he could tell that Leo fooled the Terra Bull Tyrant. After seeing how easily Leo could kill dozens of rank 9 Terra Bulls, Fury was surprised and agreed to his son¡¯s words. ¡°What?¡± However, in the next second, he was shocked by Leo¡¯s actions. He saw a silver-coloured runic sword appear in Leo¡¯s hands and released a dozen silver rays towards the level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked terra bulls. Those dozen silver rays were so fast that the level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked terra bulls didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge; instead, they used their defensive skills to block the iing silver rays. They were able to block a few silver rays; however, the remaining silver rays sliced the level 1 supreme-ranked terra bulls into pieces. As for the level 2 supreme-ranked terra bulls, they were seriously injured as their bodies were filled with cuts left by the silver rays. ¡®He can kill the level 1 supreme-ranked beast heroes that easily?¡¯ Fury could tell that Leo was not using his full strength and was curious about Leo¡¯s true battle prowess. ¡®Ding, The host killed 30 level 1 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls and gained 30 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, No talents or skills are rewarded. Please kill the supreme-ranked beasts from other races. ¡®Ding, Please try your luck using [Absolute Devour]. As for Leo, he received the system notifications regarding his kills. ¡®Huh? No more free talents and skills?¡¯ However, Leo frowned because he was expecting a talent from the system as a reward for killing more than 10 level 1 supreme-ranked terra bulls. ¡®Let¡¯s kill the remaining supreme-ranked Terra bulls before devouring all of them at once.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want to give any time for the Terra Bull Tyrant and the other supreme-ranked bulls to recover from their shock. [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Absolute Pration] Therefore, he started killing all level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked terra bulls using his teleportation and weapon skills that could ignore the defenses of his targets. ¡°Why is this happening to me? What did I do wrong?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant felt his entire world was falling apart as he saw his underlings getting killed by the wild human. His underlings were sitting ducks on the chopping board as they could not attack Leo because of the oath, other than getting killed in that human¡¯s hands. ¡°Sutin, do you understand that no matter how powerful you are, if you don¡¯t have enough intelligence, you will end up useless.¡± As he saw Leo¡¯s smooth killing of the terra bulls, Fury¡¯s impression of Leo increased as he looked at the Terra Bull Tyrant and scoffed at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you im that all you needed to have the physical strength to survive in this world? Go on and use your physical strength to save your underlings.¡± Fury added insult to the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s injury as he scoffed. **** Don¡¯t forget to GIFT the book.

Chapter 176 Suprised Fury and Depressed Sutin ¡®Ding, The host killed all level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls and gained 60 [Supreme Promote Points]. Soon, Leo killed the remaining level 1 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls along with the severely injured level 2 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls. ¡®The system is not rewarding me with any talents for killing the supreme-ranked Terra Bull.¡¯ Even after killing more than 70 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls, Leo didn¡¯t receive any talent from the system, making him conclude, ¡®I should not hope for the additional talents from the system anymore.¡¯ ¡®Or killing the level 3 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls might make the system reward me with a talent or two.¡¯ Looking at the ten level 3 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls that were standing behind the Terra Bull Tyrant, Leo revealed an evil simile. ¡°Let¡¯s run.¡± Seein the evil smile on Leo¡¯s face, the Terra Bulls felt shivers run down their spines, and without hesitation, they decided to run away. ¡°Do you think I will escape that easily?¡± Since he had already started massacring them openly, he wanted to go all out and kill all the Terra Bulls. [Space Maniption¡¯s first effect ¨C Teleportation] With a thought, he disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of the running away level 3 supreme-ranked Terra Bulls.-. [Mighty Combustion¡¯s ultimate effect ¨C Firestorm] Since he had sessfully met with the ming Lion King, Leo decided to rely on him. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t bother to hide his ultimate attack and released a huge firestorm at the level 3 supreme-ranked terra bulls. ¡®Argh¡¯ ¡®Your majesty¡­save me.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t want to die yet.¡¯ Soon, the painful groans of the terra bulls resounded in the Evergreen Grasnds as they painfully died in the firestorm. ¡®Ding, The host killed ten level 3 supreme-ranked terra bulls and gained 100 [Supreme Promote points]. ¡®Ding, The system rewarded the host with a new talent [Bull Tamer]. ¡®Ding, The system detected simr talents [Bull Summoner] and [Bull Tamer]. Do you want to merge them? ¡®What? A new talent?¡¯ Previously, Leo was expecting to receive a talent from the system; however, he was disappointed. When he gave up on the system reward, he was rewarded with new talent, making him double excited. Moreover, his new talent ispatible with another one of his talents. Hence, the system asked whether he wanted to merge them. ¡®No. I will merge them after upgrading my new talent to level 7.¡¯ Leo had already upgraded his talent [Bull Summoner] to level 7 using [Talent Promoter]. The merging will be sessful if they have the same level. Moreover, he could upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 6 after upgrading the [Bull Tamer] to level 7. Therefore, Leo denied the merging and decided to do it after devouring the corpses of the supreme-ranked Terra Bulls. ¡®There are so many corpses. I can easily gain a couple of talents and skills without a doubt.¡¯ Even though there were less than 1000 terra bull corpses around him, among them, around 100 of them were supreme-ranked, and the remaining 900 belonged to rank 9 terra bulls. So, Leo was sure he would get a few more new talents and skills after devouring all of them. ¡®Let¡¯s start devouring.¡¯ [Abolute Devour] The devil¡¯s mouth on his left palm seemed excited as it started working on devouring the corpses at an incredible speed. He was not worried about showing his devouring skill to the Terra Bull Tyrant or the ming Lion King. One bestial ruler is grateful to him, whereas the other could not harm him even if he wanted to hurt him. ¡®I want the experience of devouring to upgrade my skills. Don¡¯t touch the talents.¡¯ Since he needed talents to upgrade the [Talent Promoter], Leo only asked the system to upgrade the skills and not the Talents. ¡®Ding, The skill [Terra Rock Storm] upgraded to level 8. ¡®Ding, The skill [Roaring Battle Bull] upgraded to level 8. ¡®Ding, . . As Leo devoured the supreme-ranked corpses of the Terra Bulls, his level 1 skills were instantly upgraded to level 8. If he wanted to upgrade these level 8 skills to level 9, Leo needed to use them at least 100 times which Leo remembered very well. ¡®So, this is his true power.¡¯ Looking at how Leo burned corpses of the level 3 supreme-ranked terra bulls and started devouring them at an incredible speed, Fury was surprised and understood the wild human was much more special than he originally thought. Fury decided to wait until Leo devoured all the corpses. ¡®I thought I have to wait until 100 years to destroy these Terra Bulls. Looki likes I don¡¯t need to wait anymore.¡¯ The ming Lion King was furious at the three bestial rulers for kidnapping his son and wanted to erase them. However, he could not erase them because of the oath, and at the same time, he was worried about the next world assessment; who knows when it would arrive. ¡®Why am I not born with intelligence?¡¯ As for the Terra Bull Tyrant, he copsed to the ground and asked himself while looking at the sky. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s all skills awakened from [Absolute Devour] are upgraded to level 8. Please use them at least 100 times to upgrade further. Some corpses were still left on the ground as Leo received a system notification informing him that all his skills had reached level 8. ¡®Then upgrade to level 9 [Fire Wyvern w].¡¯ Since he had already upgraded the [Fire Wyvern w] to level 9, he decided to upgrade it to peak level 9. ¡®I wonder where I can upgrade a level 9 skill to supreme ranked skill by using the experience from devouring.¡¯ Leo could tell it would not be as simple as that because upgrading a skill to level 9 already required him to use it 100 times. So, upgrading a level 9 skill to supreme rank would definitely have more requirements. ¡®I would take quite some time to upgrade that skill to peak level 9.¡¯ That¡¯s the reason why Leo focused on low-level skills. He decided to have all his skills reach level 8 to use them to fight against the level 9 beast heroes. ¡®While I devour the remaining corpses, let¡¯s merge [Bull Summoner] and [Bull Tamer].¡¯ Leo started multi-tasking and opened his user interface to merge two talents. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 177 [Mighty Bull Tamer] ¡®Ding, The host upgraded the talent [Bull Tamer] to level 7 using [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, The host has met the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter]. Do you want to upgrade it? First, Leo used around 1.5 million [Promote Points] to upgrade histest talent [Bull Tamer], which made him upgrade the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, [Talent Promoter] upgrade requirements. 1) Upgrade one special talent from Elite ss to Advanced ss. [Completed]. 2) Upgrade three normal talents from Elite ss to Advanced ss. [Completed]. 3) Spend 500000 [Promote Points]. [Has enough promote points]. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ There was no hesitation as he upgraded the [Talent Promoter] by spending 500000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Promoter] is upgraded to level 6.-. ¡®Ding, [Talent Promoter] upgrade requirements. 1) Upgrade three special talents from Elite ss to Advanced ss. [Iplete]. 2) Upgrade three normal talents from Elite ss to Advanced ss. [Iplete]. 3) Spend ten million [Promote Points]. [Has enough promote points]. ¡®What? Three special talents and three normal talents?¡¯ Leo was shocked to see the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter] to upgrade to level 7. ¡®Sigh¡¯ Leo sighed, shook his head, and thought, ¡®There is no use thinking about it. I just need to work hard and awaken more and more talents.¡¯ Even though the upgrade requirements were hard, they were not impossible. ¡®If I use the [Talent Swallowing Abilty] to swallow the three special talents and three normal talents from [Absolute Devour], I can easily fulfill the upgrade requirements within one and half years.¡¯ Unlike the [Absolute Devour], when using the [Talent Swallowing Ability], it was in Leo¡¯s hands to swallow the talent he liked. So, he decided to swallow three special talents with that ability. In contrast, with the three normal abilities, Leo didn¡¯t have any problem awakening them by devouring many monsters and beasts. ¡®Other than more slots for upgrading the talents simultaneously, there are no new effects for the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Leo remembered the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter] and stopped thinking about it. ¡®Now, it¡¯s merging time.¡¯ Since he had two simr skills with simr levels, Leo decided to merge them. ¡®Ding, [Bull Summoner] + [Bull Tamer] = [Mighty Bull Tamer]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging two level 7 talents. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Mighty Bull Tamer (Level 7). Talent Type: Special and Passive. Effect: 1) Forceful submission: The user has to punch a bull-type monster or a beast until it gives up the fight and submits to the user. Note: The higher the rank of the target, the longer the user needs to punch. 2) Speechful submission: The bull-type monsters and beasts will attentively listen and believe whatever the user tells. Note: The higher the rank of the target, the lesser the user¡¯s words. So, it is better to back your words with proof to convince a higher-ranked beast or monster. Additional effect: Beast storage space. (Locked). Note: It unlocks at level 9. Soon, the information about the newly merged talent appeared before him. ¡®Two normal talents turned into special talents. Excellent.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t read the full information and was already satisfied with the talent being special and passive. ¡®Two types of taming methods. Not bad.¡¯ At level 7, the talent was already good. So, Leo didn¡¯t expect anything more as he knew it would only be more and more powerful in the future. For example, a [Beast Storage Space] will be unlocked when the talent reaches level 9. What kind of effects would it unlock then? What about when the talent upgrades to supreme rank? The newly merged talents entered into a list of talents that Leo would look forward to seeing them reach the supreme rank. ¡®Ding, The host devoured 100 rank 9 terra bulls. No new talents or skills are awakened. Soon, Leo devoured all the corpses around him; however, he was not lucky with the awakening as he didn¡¯t awaken a single new talent or skill. Nevertheless, Leo was happy because he already had so many new talents and skills sinceing to the Beas. So, it didn¡¯t bother him much as he decided to leave the Evergreen Grasnds along with the Fury and Lionel. ¡®Sigh. If only I had enough strength to kill a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero, it would have been good.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to kill the Terra Bull Tyrant from the start because his strength was not enough. Besides wasting his energy trying to kill the Terra Bull Tyrant, Leo would not even leave a scratch on the Tyrant¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, A new mission has been generated. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: First Otherworldly Follower. Details: After losing all his subordinates and being mocked by the ming Lion King, the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s faith in his Beast God ¡®The Terra Bull God,¡¯ has started wavering. Currently, he only needs someone to put his faith in. Since the host has the brains, why don¡¯t you be the light for the Terra Bull Tyrant to follow?. Reward: Unwavering faith of the Terra Bull Tyrant. Time limit: One day. Note: If the host didn¡¯t make the Terra Bull Tyrant his follower, the beast hero would go insane and start attacking everything until he dies. Just as Leo was nning to leave with Fury and Lionel, he received a new system, and after reading the details, Leo was surprised. ¡®The system wants me to take him as my follower? Is it possible?¡¯ Leo frowned as he felt it was impossible to tame the Terra Bull Tyrant. Even with the help of his newly merged talent [Mighty Bull Tamer], Leo felt it was almost impossible because the strength difference between him and the Terra Bull Tyrant was so huge. Where is the rank 9 human hero, and where is a level 6 supreme beast hero? Strength-wise, both of them belong to twopletely different worlds. ¡®Nevertheless, there is no harm in giving it a try. If I am lucky, I will get a level 6 supreme-ranked beast as a follower; if I am unlucky, I will lose nothing.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to give it a try. **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 178 [Speechful Submission] In the Evergreen Grasnds, Other than the Terra Bull Tyrant, all the terra bulls had been killed and devoured by Leo. The only survivor of the Terra Bull Race was lying on the ground, recalling the important memories of his life. ¡®After enduring the cruel life for five years, I have awakened a special passive talent [Mighty Bull] that increases my battle prowess by five times.¡¯ ¡®Using that talent, I stomped those who bullied me to the ground.¡¯ ¡®Next, I rose to fame and joined the ranks of Bull Captains.¡¯ ¡®After that, I became a Bull General before challenging the previous Terra Bull Tyrant.¡¯ ¡®In the duel, I killed the Terra Bull Tyrant and became the new Terra Bull Tyrant.¡¯ As he recalled the most important achievements of his life, the Terra Bull Tyrant realized that he relied only on his physical strength, and there was not a single moment where he had to use his head. Moreover, at some point in time, he became arrogant and imed that as long as a Beast Hero had enough physical strength, he would be the ruler of the world. He even thought that the reason why the ming Lion King was able to control the entire Beas was because of his high physical strength. ¡®Only now I realized that without proper intelligence, no matter how much strength one has, he would lose everything.¡¯-. However, the Terra Bull Tyrant realized it a littlete as he had already lost his entire horde of Terra Bulls. ¡®Why must a Terra Bull have low intelligencepared to the other beast races?¡¯ Among the four bestial races in the Beas, the Terra Bulls are the only ones with low intelligence. So, he wondered why the Terra Bulls had low intelligence. ¡°Hey.¡± Suddenly, he heard a human voice. ¡°You killed my entire army, and even if I want to kill you, I can¡¯t kill you. With your strength, you can¡¯t kill me. So, what else do you want to do with me?¡± For some reason, the Terra Bull Tyrant was no longer furious at Leo for killing the entire horde of Terra Bulls; instead, he asked Leo what he wanted now. ¡°Do you want to follow me?¡± Leo didn¡¯t beat around the bush as he directly asked the Terra Bull Tyrant whether he wanted to be his follower. ¡°Human, do you think I will follow you after what you have done to my horde?¡± There was no anger on the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s face as he calmly replied to Leo with a question. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Mighty Bull Tamer¡¯s second effect ¨C Speechful Submission] is activated. The bull will listen and believe whatever the host says. Note: The higher the strength difference between the host and the Bull Beast, the chances of the bull listening will be low, not to mention believing his words is impossible. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s title [Bull Executioneer] is active, and the strength difference between the host and the Terra Bull Tyrant will be reduced by 50 percent. Before Leo could say anything to the Terra Bull Tyrant, he received a couple of system notifications, making him reveal a slight smile. ¡°So, you want to remain as a dumb bull that was looked down by everyone?¡± Leo scoffed at the Terra Bull Tyrant, and without allowing him to reply, Leo continued, ¡°as long as you follow me, I will help you. Help you be an intelligent beast.¡± ¡°But you killed¡­.¡± ¡°I know I killed your entire horde; however, even if I didn¡¯t kill them, they would be killed by someone sooner orter.¡± Before the Terra Bull Tyrant could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words as he looked at the ming Lion King. He indirectly said they would have died sooner orter in the ws of the ming Lion King. ¡°Even if the ming Lion King didn¡¯t harm you, do you think the other two bestial rulers would take care of you? When they feel like you are no longer useful to them, they will not hesitate to get rid of you.¡± Leo raised one point after another that made the dumb bull understand a few things that he could have never thought if it were not for Leo. ¡°Once you be my follower, I will make sure you will no longer be fooled by anyone and help you find some intelligent followers for you.¡± Maybe because of the talent¡¯s effect or other unknown factors, the Terra Bull Tyrant started believing Leo¡¯s words. ¡®Strike the iron while it is still hot.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo used this final trump card, ¡°After you be my follower, I will take you to a different world where you can start your new life.¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ As soon as the Terra Bull Tyrant heard those words, his eyes brightly shone as he asked, ¡°Really? Can you take me away from the Beas?¡± What the Terra Bull Tyrant really needed right now was a new start in a new ce. If he continued staying in the Beas, Sutin felt he would be ridiculed by everyone and could start a new life because of that. ¡°I promise to take you with me to a different world after 19 days.¡± Leo genuinely promised because it was easy for me. ¡®Ding, As long as a beast hero is willing to follow the host, they could pass through the portal back to the human world. This was the reply he got from the system. Therefore, Leo promised without thinking much. ¡°Human, I am willing to follow you wherever you go.¡± As soon as the Terra Bull Tyrant saw that Leo promised to bring him to a different world, he didn¡¯t hesitate and directly agreed to be Leo¡¯s follower. ¡°This might be the first wisest decision you have ever made in your life.¡± With a slight smile, Leo replied to the Terra Bull Tyrant and patted Sutin¡¯s bullhead. ¡®Ding, The Terra Bull Tyrant has decided to follow you for the rest of his life. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission [First Otherworldly Follower]. Soon, the system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, informing him aboutpleting the mission. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s actions angered the Beast God [Mighty Bull God]. The Beast God has marked the host. ¡®What?¡¯ **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 179 Beast Gods Mark ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s actions angered the Beast God [Mighty Bull God]. As a result, the Beast God has marked the host. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw thetest system notification and asked the system, ¡®System, what do you mean by marked by the Beast God? And how will it affect me?¡¯ ¡®Ding, It means that when the host enters any world with the presence of [Mighty Bull God], he can watch you. ¡®Ding, Since the Beast God can watch the host, his followers in that world will hunt you down. Soon, the system informed him of the effect of the Beast God¡¯s mark on his body. ¡®Huh? His followers will hunt me down?¡¯ Leo raised his brows for a moment and thought, ¡®Let theme. I will use them to awaken more talents and skills.¡¯ Leo doubted he would be visiting any new worlds after returning to the human world soon. He still has to take his revenge, break his curse, and free the enved people, and the most important thing is to prepare for the uing world assessment for the human world.-. By the time Leo finishes all these things, he will be a supreme-ranked hero, and venturing to other high-graded worlds would not be a problem with his wide range of talents and skills. ¡°Huh? You managed to convince him to be your follower? Congrattions.¡± On the other hand, Fury is shocked by Leo¡¯s actions. Initially, he thought Leo was just wasting his time in front of the Terra Bull Tyrant because the ming Lion King had tried making the Terra Bull Tyrant his follower. However, the Terra Bull Tyrant was willing to die rather than be his follower, making the ming Lion King give up on the dumb-headed bull. To his surprise, the Terra Bull Tyrant became the follower of a rank 9 human hero just after a few lines of conversation. Nevertheless, suppressing his shock, Fury congratted Leo for gaining the acknowledgment of the Terra Bull Tyrant. He could even turn the mountains into dust with a simple stomp. Who doesn¡¯t want a strong follower like Terra Bull Tyrant?¡¯ This was the thought in Fury¡¯s head when he tried to tame the Terra Bull Tyrant in the past. ¡°Thank you, Sir Fury.¡± Leo thanked Fury with a respectful look. ¡°Master, can you please for a minute. I want to give you something.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t wait for Leo¡¯s reply as he rushed into his copse den. ¡°Huh?¡± Leo raised his brows; however, he didn¡¯t say anything and waited for the Terra Bull Tyrant to bring what he wanted to give him. ¡®Thud¡¯ Soon, Sutin returned with a small ck-coloured stone in his mouth. ¡°A fragment of the God Stone?¡± Leo instantly recognized the stone in the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s mouth and was surprised. ¡°Since Master is still a rank 9 human hero, it will increase the potential of your rank 9 talent by 10 percent.¡± Sutin dropped the stone in front of Leo and asked him to use it to be the supreme rank hero sooner. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo already knew the effects of the Fragment of the God stone and nodded before taking it. He was not surprised that the Terra Bull Tyrant had a fragment of the God Stone in his possession. As one of the rulers of the Grade 1 world, it would be surprising if he didn¡¯t have any valuable things such as the Fragment of the God Stones. ¡®Ding, Item name: Fragment of the God Stone. Effect: 1) For rank 7 beings, it increases a level 7 talent to level 8. 2) For rank 8 beings, it increases a level 8 talent¡¯s potential by 50 percent. 3) For rank 9 beings, it increases a level 9 talent¡¯s potential by 10 percent. Note: Normal beings can only consume one fragment of the God Stone, whereas the host can consume three fragments when ites to using the normal effect. Depending on the rank of the consumer, the effect changes, and of course, if a rank 8 or 9 hero wanted to upgrade a level 7 talent, he could directly upgrade it to level 8. ¡°I have two Fragments of the God Stones. So I can not only reset the cooldown of six months, but I can also fill the remaining potential for the [Call of the Undead].¡± Initially, Leo didn¡¯t want to use the precious stones to upgrade the potential of the [Call of the Undead] because his undead summons would be passively increasing it. However, he wanted to see whether he could upgrade his rank 9 talent into a supreme ranked talent. ¡®System, I want to use both normal and special effects of the fragment of the God stone.¡¯ For once, Leo decided to use the normal effect of fragments of the God stones on himself along with the special effect. ¡®Ding, The host consumed the two fragments of the God Stones. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Ability] hase out of the cooldown. The host can now swallow a talent he likes by killing the target. ¡®Ding, Please select which talent the host wants to upgrade. Finally, he could use his [Talent Swallowing Ability] again; however, the system asked him to select the talent he wished to upgrade. ¡®[Call of the Undead]¡¯ Since he had already decided on the talent, Leo didn¡¯t think much as he wanted to see whether he could upgrade that talent to supreme-level or not. ¡®I am thinking there would be some requirements.¡¯ While upgrading that talent, Leo could guess there would be requirements that stop him from instantly upgrading the talent to supreme rank. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead]¡¯s potential rose by 10 percent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead]¡¯s potential rose by 10 percent. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Call of the Undead (Level 9). Potential: 99 / 100. In a matter of seconds, the potential of the [Call of the Undead] rose from 79 to 99 percent. ¡®Only one more percent. I think it will reach 100 percent in a few hours.¡¯ Just as Leo thought it would take hours, he saw the 99 / 100 in the potential section change into 100 / 100. ¡®What? It has already reached 100 percent?¡¯ **** Luxury Car = 1 Bonus Chapters. Dragon = 2 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 5 Bonus Chapters. Chapter 180 [Bonus chapter]King Fury Versus Minister Ren (1) ¡®What? It has already reached 100 percent?¡¯ Leo thought it would take a couple of hours to get that remaining one percent; however, he got that in a few seconds, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®Let¡¯s what will happen now.¡¯ Since it was his first time upgrading talent to such a high level, Leo was curious about what would happen. ¡®Ding, The system detected one of his talents is trying to upgrade into a supreme ss. ¡®Ding, The system is checking for the requirements to upgrade into a supreme-ss talent. Please wait. As Leo expected, there were some requirements to upgrade a peak advanced ss talent into a supreme ss talent. ¡®Ding, Requirements for [Call of the Undead] to be a supreme ss talent. 1) Raise at least ten undead beings with rank 9 strength (Completed). 2) Use the talent for an entire day (Completed). 3) Raise at least one undead supreme-ranked being (Iplete).-. Soon, the system showed three requirements, among which Leo had already fulfilled two. ¡®However, raising an undead supreme-ranked being from the ground is hard.¡¯ When Leo killed his first supreme-ranked monster in the past, he tried raising the monster he killed. However, he could not convert it into an undead being and failed in the process. ¡®When the proces of converting a corpse into an undead being fails, the corpse will be turned into nothingness.¡¯ After that incident, Leo didn¡¯t bother converting the supreme-ranked corpses into undead beings; instead, he consumed them in return for a guaranteed awakening of skill. ¡®It looks like I have to try converting the supreme-ranked corpses into undead beings from now on.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo from that time could not bepared to the current Leo, who had the battle prowess to kill the level 1 supreme-ranked beings without receiving help from anyone. ¡°Sir Fury, we can go now.¡± Since Leo had taken care of everything in the Evergreen Grasnds, he decided to go with the ming Lion King and take the rewards for protecting Lionel. As forpleting thest requirement, Leo kept it in mind and decided to try after killing supreme-ranked beasts or monsters in the future. ¡®I wonder what will happen to that so-called Minister Ren.¡¯ While moving towards the Emberfields, Leo thought of Minster Ren, who tried to kill him and Lionel. He wondered what kind of fate was awaiting him. Soon, a human, a bull, a lion, and a lion cub moved toward the Emberfields. ¡®Assessmet¡¯ Along the way, Leo assessed the information on the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡®Ding, Follower Name: Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant. Strength: Level 6 Supreme ranked Beast Hero. Talent: 1) Earth Healing (Passive): As long as the beast hero is connected to the ground, he can recover his energy and injuries. 2) Mighty Bull (Passive): As long as the beast hero is connected to the ground, his battle prowess would be increased by five times. 3) Earth Stomp (Active). 4) Terra Storm (Active). Skills: Horn attack, Bullrush, Irontail, Headbash, Thickskin. Bloodline: None. Soon,plete information about the Terra Bull Tyrant appeared before Leo. Generally, Leo could not see the full information of supreme-ranked beings; however, since Sutin had be his follower, there were no restrictions for Leo to check the information on the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡®With his help, I don¡¯t have to wait until I be a supreme-ranked hero.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he muttered, ¡®Theodore, just wait. The moment I return to the Phirie city, it will be the end of you.¡¯ If Leo had the support of someone like Terra Bull Tyrant, a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero, it would be a piece of cake for Leo to take care of Theodore. Therefore, Leo decided toplete his revenge when he returned to Phirie city. ¡®Only a fool would dy his revenge even when he had the strength.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s head as he looked forward to returning to his world soon. ¡­ In the Emberfields, It took a couple of hours for the ming Lion King and others to reach the Emberfields. Along the way, even though they encountered a few beast heroes from the other races and the monsters, no one dared to fight them. And the credit goes to both the ming Lion King and the Terra Bull Tyrant. When two bestial rulers walk side by side, who would dare to stop them? ¡°B*stard Ren,e out this instant.¡± As soon as Leo and others entered the Emberfields, the ming Lion King¡¯s angry voice resounded in the entire region. ¡°Why are you shouting, my dear beloved younger brother?¡± Soon, a calm voice resounded from the region¡¯s center as a 10-meter ming lion walked toward them. ¡°¡­¡± Fury could not say anything when he saw the look in his older brother¡¯s eyes. Previously, they used to be filled with love and respect towards him; however, he could not see them. Instead, he saw a mocking look. ¡°Why?¡± Even though he heard everything from his son, Fury didn¡¯t want to believe that his loving older brother was envious of him and his son. ¡°Didn¡¯t your son tell you why I am doing this?¡± Minister Ren looked at Lionel and scoffed at both father and son duo. ¡°Let me tell you onest time, I don¡¯t want my son to be like me, a servant to the King. I want him to be the King of the ming Lions and then the sole ruler of the entire Beas.¡± Minister Ren answered Fury¡¯s question as he continued, ¡°To make that happen, I want your son to die. I wanted to quietly assassinate your son; however, my ns were spoiled with the appearance of that wild human.¡± He angrily looked at Leo and continued, ¡°Anyway, since things turned out to be like this, I might as well eliminate you and clear my son¡¯s path to be the Beast Emperor of this World.¡± ¡°You could have just asked me about this. Compared to the King of the ming Lion, you are important to me.¡± Fury¡¯s voice sounded sad as he shook his head and said, ¡°If you want your son to be the next Heir, then I and my son will dly give up that position for you.¡± These words were from the bottom of Fury¡¯s heart as he never really cared much about bing the Emperor of the Beas or being the leader of the ming Lions. All he wanted in his life was a safe haven for the ming Lions to survive in this cruel world where anything could happen to them at any time. That¡¯s why Fury didn¡¯t kill the three bestial rulers, even though he could kill them any time he wanted. Therefore, when he learned that his older brother cares about the positionpared to their bond, Fury decides to give it to him. ¡°Even though Lionel has the bloodline of the Heavenly ming Lion King, ¡° ¡°Haha¡­ you are in no position to say such words because I have already taken your position and my son Begal will take your son¡¯s ce as the next Heir of the ming Lions.¡± When he heard Fury¡¯s words, Minister Ren could not help but chuckle as he ordered, ¡°Everyone, activate the formation. Today, no one from you is going to leave this territory alive.¡± ¡°Yes, Your Majesty.¡± As soon as Minister Ren¡¯s words resounded, a group of supreme-ranked ming lions replied with a serious look in their eyes. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 181 King Fury Versus Flaming Lion Guardian (1) The 100 ming lions surrounding Leo¡¯s group growled at them and were ready to jump at them at any moment. ¡°You¡­what are you trying to do? Why did you activate the regional formation?¡± After hearing Minister Ren¡¯s words, the ming lions in charge of the ¡®region formation¡¯ activated it, making Fury anxious. He hurriedly asked Minister Ren, ¡°Deactivate the formation right away.¡± ¡°I have never seen you anxious before. So, you do know how to be anxious?¡± Seeing the anxious ming Lion King, Minster Ren could not help but feel excited. The regional formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that surrounds the entire region that stops anyone from either entering or exiting that particr region. ¡°Also, my son and I are not beggars to take a position that you and your son left. We know how to take it.¡± Even though Fury was willing to give his position as the King of the ming Lions, Minister Ren became even more furious with that. Why would he take a position left by his younger brother when he had the power to take it by force? Because of his pride, Minister Ren wanted to take that position by killing Fury and his son Lionel.-. ¡°Brother, it is dangerous to use the regional formation so carelessly. We have to spend years to recharge the formation.¡± Fury was not worried that he was trapped inside the regional formation; instead, he was worried that they would have to spend a lot of resources and time to recover and repair the formation. ¡°Beas is full of resources, and as the new king of the ming Lions, I will use them to repair and recover the formation. So, there is no need to worry about it.¡± Even though Minister Ren was taking care of the things in Emberfields for decades, he didn¡¯t know how costly it would be to repair because it was never broken. As for recharging it, Minister Ren felt he could use the resources in the Beas to recharge it easily. So, he didn¡¯t bother about it. ¡°Brother, your actions will lead to the destruction of our region. I will say this onest time; if you don¡¯t deactivate the formation, I will have no choice but to kill you.¡± Fury¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment when he saw Minster Ren as he finally became serious. No matter how close they were in the past if his older brother wanted to kill him, his son and even put the entire ming lion race in danger, Fury had no other choice than to kill Minister Ren. Before that, Fury gave onest warning to his older brother as fiery red-coloured mes shot out of his body. ¡°Haha¡­my dear younger brother. Do you really think I will go against you if I am not prepared?¡± Fury was known as the strongest beast hero in the entire Beas. Moreover, in the entire world, if someone knows thoroughly about Fury, it would be his older Brother Ren. Therefore, Minister Ren had already made enough preparations when he decided to go against his young brother. ¡°Human, can you take care of Lionel?¡± Even though Leo was only a rank 9 human hero, Fury was willing to leave his son in his care. Not only did Leo have brains, but he also had a Bestial Ruler as his follower. Fury wanted to give his son to the level 4 supreme-ranked ming lions he used to trust; however, after witnessing Minister Ren¡¯s real intentions, Fury no longer trusted anyone. ¡°Leave it to me.¡± Leo was waiting to see the fight between two powerful supreme-ranked beast heroes from the moment he entered the Beas. Finally, he was going to witness the battle. Therefore, he didn¡¯t mind taking care of Lionel. ¡®Moreover, I am still waiting for the ming Lion King to reward me for protecting his son.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo held the lion cub in his arms. ¡°Shall we begin the fight?¡± After entrusting his son to Leo, Fury¡¯s body¡¯s mes turned even fiery as he asked Minister Ren whether he was ready to fight. ¡°Haha¡­my dead little brother, you are always as hot-blooded as you are when you are young.¡± However, Minster Ren didn¡¯t show any intentions of fighting; instead, he mocked Fury. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Fury frowned when he saw Minister Ren¡¯s confidence and thought, ¡®Where is his confidenceing from?¡¯ ¡°ming Lion Guardian, it is time for you to wake up from your slumber and kill the traitor.¡± Amidst Fury¡¯s confusion, Minister Ren bit his paw and dropped blood drops on a red-coloured orb before shouting out loud. ¡°Roar¡± As soon as Minister Ren finished his words, a heaven-defying roar resounded in the entire Emberfields as a huge transparent ming lion appeared before Minister Ren. ¡®What? Guardian? Didn¡¯t the ming lion guardian die during thest world assessment?¡¯ The ming Lion King was shocked at the appearance of the ming Lion Guardian because he had witnessed the death of his race¡¯s guardian during the world assessment. The four bestial races were able to be the rulers of the Beas for a reason: the Guardians. Each bestial race had a Guardian before the world assessment; however, they had to sacrifice themselves to pass the world assessment, and the result was Beas bing a grade 1 world. However, who would have thought that the ming Lion Guardian was still alive. ¡®Damn it¡­did it recognize that b*stard?¡¯ For some reason, the ming Lion Guardian didn¡¯t attack the ming Lion King, making Minister Ren frown; however, he shouted, ¡°ming Lion Guardian, kill that traitor.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the ming Lion Guardian¡¯s eyes turned fiery red as it jumped at Fury with a fiery [w Strike]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Guardian, it¡¯s me, Fury, the ming Lion King.¡± Fury dodged it and revealed his identity, hoping the guardian would recognize him. ¡°Roar¡± [methrower] However, what he got in reply was an angry roar followed by a powerful fire attack. ¡°Guardian, since you can¡¯t stop attacking me, you leave me with no choice.¡± In the next second, the red-coloured mes around Fury turned ck as he became serious about taking down the ming Lion Guardian. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 182 King Fury Versus Flaming Lion Guardian (2) ¡®A Guardian? I wonder how powerful it is.¡¯ As an intense fight between King Fury and the ming Lion Guardian was about to start, Leo tried checking the information on the ming Lion Guardian. ¡®Ding, Entity Name: ming Lion Guardian. Entity¡¯s Status: Controlled Strength: Level 9 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero. More Information: A being left behind by the ming Lion¡¯s ancestor [Heavenly ming Lion] to protect the Emberfields and the ming Lions residing there. ¡®Huh? Controlled?¡¯ Looking at the entity¡¯s status, Leo frowned for a moment and understood, ¡®So, it was being controlled by him. No wonder a guardian was attacking the King supposed to serve.¡¯ ¡®I wonder whether the ming Lion King can win against the guardian?¡¯ Since the ming Lion Guardian has the strength of level 9 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero, Leo felt it was hard for the ming Lion King, who had the strength of level 7 supreme-ranked beast hero. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Fury, the ming Lion King.-. Strength: Level 9 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero. Error Unknown. Error Unknown. ¡®What? His strength is Level 9 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero?¡¯ However, when Leo checked the strength of the ming Lion King, he was shocked. When he was in the Spider Queen¡¯s territory, Lionel said that his father was the strongest beast hero with a strength of level 7 supreme-ranked beast Hero. However, the ming Lion King¡¯s strength was two levels higher than he had assumed. ¡®Looks like there is no need to worry about the ming Lion King. I think he is hiding his strength from everyone, including his son.¡¯ Leo was confident that Fury would have no problems defeating the ming Lion King. ¡®Now, I feel pity for Minister Ren.¡¯ Looking at Minister Ren, who was confident in killing the ming Lion King and his son today, Leo shook his head with pity. [me Whip] Once the ming Lion King decided to be serious, he didn¡¯t waste any time as he used one of his powerful skills. Soon, a whip made up of fiery mes came out of Fury¡¯s majestic mane and shot at the ming Lion Guardian. ¡®Roar¡¯ Even though the ming Lion Guardian tried to dodge the iing fire whip, it could not dodge it and get caught by the whip. Nevertheless, it roared and tried to free itself from the fire whip wrapped around its neck. ¡°Roar¡± With a powerful pull, the ming Lion Guardian pulled the ming Lion King towards it before mming Fury with its strong head. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, the ming Lion King was sted into a couple of lion dens; however, in the next second, Fury stood up from the ground and growled at the ming Lion King. ¡°Fury, I was surprised to learn that you broke through to level 8 supreme rank when fighting the three bestial rulers; however, you can¡¯t defeat the ming Lion Guardian that had the strength of level 9 supreme rank.¡± On the side, Minister Ren chuckled as he informed Fury. Just like Lionel, Minister Ren also thought Fury only had the strength of a level 7 supreme rank; however, he was surprised to see Fury fighting the three bestial rulers with a level 8 supreme rank. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste his time using the ming lion guardian from the start. ¡°What are you waiting for? Go and kill them.¡± At the same time, he ordered all the supreme-ranked ming lions in the territory to kill the Terra Bull Tyrant and others. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty.¡± Since they have already acknowledged Minister Ren as their new king, they have started calling him ¡®Your Majesty¡¯. Soon, five ming lions surrounded the Terra Bull Tyrant and a dozen level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked ming lions surrounded Leo and the Lion cub. ¡°One level 5 and four level 4 supreme-ranked beast heroes? Do you think you can kill me?¡± They were the ming Lion Generals and the powerful ming lions after Fury and Ren. However, the Terra Bull Tyrant was a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero. So, he scoffed at them and got ready for the fight. ¡°Sutin, stomp them to death.¡± Even though Leo didn¡¯t n to kill the ming lions initially, if the situation demanded, he was not the type to hold back. So, he ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant to use his full strength and stomp them to death. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Sutin didn¡¯t like the ming lions and didn¡¯t dare to kill them because of the ming Lion King; however, he didn¡¯t have to fear the ming lion king after killing them. So, he was excited about it and scraped the ground with his left foreleg. ¡°Thud¡± Soon, Sutin rushed toward the supreme-ranked ming lions nning to attack him. [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st] On the other hand, Leo sent the lion cub into the Beast Storage Device and used his basic but powerful effect. ¡®Boom¡¯ Soon, a huge explosion within a 100-meter radius urred because of the heatwaves released from Leo¡¯s body and the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked ming lions that were nning to kill Leo and Lionel sted away by a distance ranging from 10 meters to 100 meters. Even though Leo could create the st with a radius of 20 kilometers, he reduced it to 100 meters to increase his attack¡¯s sting power. ¡°Huh? It looks like you are also no exception when ites to fire attacks.¡± Looking at the moderately injured level 1 supreme-ranked ming lions, Leo could not help but mock them. ¡°Let¡¯s see how many [Radius sts] you canst.¡± Without wasting any time, Leo started using the same effect one more time and continued to repeat that attack. ¡­. ¡°Haha¡­brother, do you want to see my actual strength?¡± As Leo started his massacre, Fury also revealed his full strength. The pitch-ck mes shouted out of Fury¡¯s body were so powerful that even Minister Ren, who was very far from Fury, could feel the power. ¡°What? You are a level 9 supreme-ranked beast hero?¡± Minister Ren was already surprised that Fury was able to be a level 8 supreme-ranked beast hero, and now he was revealing that his actual strength was level 9. ¡°Guardian, please forgive me, but I have to do this.¡± [Fire Clones] As soon as he said those words, ten ming lions with the same strength as Fury came out of Fury¡¯s body and surrounded the ming Lion Guardian. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts.

Therefore, there was no way for the ming Lion Guardian to escape this time, and it could only roar in anger as it struggled to free itself. ¡°It¡¯s time for the finishing move.¡± After getting the ming Lion Guardian under control, Fury didn¡¯t waste any time as he decided to use the finishing move. [Fire Absorbption] Soon, he started absorbing the fire energy from the roaring ming Lion Guardian. Since the entire body of the ming Lion Guardian was made up of pure fire energy, it was very easy for Fury to absorb that energy. ¡°Damn it¡­Damn it¡­.Damn it.¡± Seeing that Fury could turn the situation around with his strength of level 9 supreme rank beast hero, Minister Ren became furious and cursed, ¡®This ming Lion Guardian is useless.¡¯ ¡®It looks like I have to go for the final trump card.¡¯-. Minister Ren gritted his teeth and decided to use thest card he had prepared to take down Fury. Even though it was the most powerful card he was currently holding; Minister Ren was not excited much about it because the side effects of that trump card were also powerful. ¡®I have to finish him as soon as possible.¡¯ Since it was the only way for him to defeat the ming Lion King, Minister Ren decided to kill Fury as soon as possible to reduce the side effects. [One with Guardian] He spat blood on the red-coloured orb around his neck and rushed towards the ming Lion Guardian. ¡®Swish¡¯ The red-coloured orb around Minister Ren¡¯s neck started shining and collided with the ming Lion Guardian imprisoned by Fury and his clones. ¡®Swiish¡¯ It only took a few seconds for Minister Ren to merge with the ming Lion Guardian. Fury could not stop him because he was absorbing the fire energy from the ming Lion Guardian. After the sessful merging, Minister Ren¡¯s height reached 20 meters, and the fire whips imprisoning him were still there. However, Fury and his ten clones had trouble stopping the merged Minister Ren. ¡°Only one of us will live today; it will be me.¡± Minister Ren¡¯s voice became even easier after merging with the ming Lion Guardian. After saying those words, Minister Ren shook his body and threw Fury and his ten clones aside while freeing himself from the fire whips. [Firest] [ming Asteroids] [Infernal re] [Fiery Tempest] Minister Ren knew how fearless Fury would be and how scary he could be. So, he didn¡¯t waste any time using his powerful attacks on Fury. ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ One attack after anothernded on Fury, and a huge explosion urred in a one-kilometer radius. ¡­.. ¡®Ding, The host killed 100 rank 9 ming lions and gained 5000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 12 level 1 supreme-ranked ming lions and gained 12 [Supreme Promote Points].

As for the level 2 supreme-ranked ming lions, with the repeated usage of his [Mighty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st]. ¡®What¡¯s happening? Why is the system not rewarding me with talents for killing the supreme-ranked beasts?¡¯ Leo frowned when he realized that the system had stopped rewarding him with the talents for killing the supreme-ranked beasts and monsters. ¡®Ding, The system evaluated the host¡¯s battle prowess and using his intelligence, and he didn¡¯t have a problem killing the level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beasts and monsters. ¡®Ding, The host has to kill a level 3 or high-ranked supreme monster to gain special rewards from the system. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo remained silent with the system¡¯s notification because the increment in his battle prowess was a good thing; however, he was losing the free rewards. ¡®Anyway, I still have my [Absolute Devour] and one chance of using the [Talent Swallowing Ability].¡¯ Leo decided to use [Talent Swallowing Ability] to swallow only special talents. So, he was waiting for an enemy with a special talent to appear before him. ¡®Thankfully, my [Space Maniption] is out of cooldown, and even my secret dimensional space has beenpletely repaired.¡¯ Another good thing that happened to Leo was that his secret dimensional space had been repaired, and it was because of this that Leo could dodge their attacks and kill them without any problem. ¡®Ding, A new bonus mission has been generated. Please check the full details in the [Mission Tab]. As Leo was about to use [Absolute Devour] to consume the corpses of the ming Lions he killed, he received a system notification. ¡®What?

I have to be careful in killing him. Let¡¯s go for another round.¡¯ When Fury was at level 6 supreme rank, he was able to kill dozens of level 8 supreme-ranked wilder monsters during the world assessment. Now, he has be a level 9 supreme-ranked beast hero. Therefore, Minister Ren was not confident in his attacks as he repeated all his attacking talents and skills for another two rounds and spent 50 percent of his energy. ¡®Did I get him?¡¯ Minister Ren could not see anything in front of him as the entire area was covered with smoke and dust from his earlier attacks. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, Minister Ren heard some noise, making him serious, ¡°It looks like he is still alive even after so many attacks. I have to kill¡­.¡± ¡°You are toote.¡± However, before Minister Ren could use his talents or skills, he saw Furye out of the smoke and dust with two huge fiery wings on his back. [Heavenly Fire Fang]. The most important thing was Fury was using his most powerful attack, and Minster Ren didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge or block the iing attack. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 184 Bonus Mission ¡®Is this for real?¡¯ Leo was excited when he looked at the newly generated mission¡¯s details in front of him. ¡®Ding, Bonus Mission: Power of the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. Mission Objective: Use the talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to kill the ming Lions. Mission Rewards: Increase the potential of the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. 1) One rank 9 ming Lion = 1 percent potential. 2) One level 1 supreme-ranked ming Lion = 10 percent potential, one talent or skill. 3) One level 2 supreme-ranked ming Lion = 20 percent potential, one talent and skill. Note: 1) The host will not be rewarded if he takes help from others, including his own followers. 2) The rewarded talents and skills can only be used when the host is in Heavenly ming Lion Form. 3) Additional rewards will be given when the host kills arge number of ming Lions. ¡®Even though killing rank 9 ming Lions is a little difficult, it is not impossible.¡¯ Leo looked around and saw the ming Lions surrounding him, shaking with fear after witnessing how Leo could kill level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked ming lions. ¡®Let¡¯s do it. I need to upgrade the talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to level 9.¡¯ Leo was not aiming for too high; instead, he was aiming for what he thought could be possible.-. Since he had awakened that talent using his [Talent Swallowing Ability], he could not upgrade its level by devouring the corpse. Regarding [Talent Promoter], it will take quite some time for Leo to upgrade to level 7. Moreover, his transformation talent was a special talent which makes Leo impossible to use the talent upgrading stones. [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] Without wasting any time, Leo used his level 7 talent and transformed into a more than five-meter huge ming lion. The average height of a rank 9 ming lion was only three meters, whereas Leo was only a rank 7 ming lion; however, he was barely double their size. ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®How can he transform into a ming Lion?¡¯ ¡®Does he have a tranfomration talent?¡¯ Seeing that Leo suddenly transformed into a huge ming lion with a strength of rank 9, the surrounding rank 9 and supreme-ranked ming lions were shocked. [Heavenly Roar] [ming Fury] Leo had already started his attacks as all the surrounding ming lions were still in shock. One skill decreased the fighting will of the targets surrounding the user, whereas the other skill increased the fighting prowess of the user by three times for a duration of 10 minutes. ¡®What¡¯s happening to me?¡¯ ¡®Why am I scared to fight him?¡¯ ¡®He is a monster that could kill supreme-ranked monsters. We can¡¯t kill.¡¯ The surrounding ming lions were already scared to fight against Leo, and because of skill [Heavenly Roar], they developed some unknown fear towards Leo. ¡®It looks like the effect of that skill [Heavenly roar] is doubled on these ming lions.¡¯ Even the level 1 supreme-ranked ming lions showed slight fear when they saw Leo in the Heavenly ming Lion¡¯s form. ¡®Let¡¯s go all out and kill them in a single sweep.¡¯ After seeing them sacred and feeling the 3x boost in his body, Leo decided to kill as many ming lions as possible before they could recover from his skill [Heavenly Roar]. [Fire Torrent] With that thought in mind, Leo used a long range-mass destruction skill. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Fiery mes shot off Leo¡¯s lion body and formed into a torrent before sweeping all the surrounding ming lions into it. As for the supreme-ranked ming lions didn¡¯t waste his breath on them because with his current strength killing them would be impossible. ¡®First, I have to increase my talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to rank 9 and unlock some powerful skills.¡¯ This was the only thought in Leo¡¯s mind. Except for a few rank 9 ming lions, everyone got caught in that fire torrent, and even those who escaped rank 9 ming lions were severely injured. ¡®Ding, The host killed 20 rank 9 ming lions and gained 10000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] is increased by 20 percent. ¡®Excellent. Isn¡¯t this what I want?¡¯ Seeing the 20 percent increment in a single, Leo was satisfied and used another powerful skill [Fire Fang] ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ Unlike [Fire Torrent], this [Fire Fang] was a single target skill. So, he could kill only a single rank 9 ming lion. [Fireball] However, he was so fast that he killed more than half a dozen rank 9 ming lions with that skill before using [Fireball]. ¡®Boom¡¯ The [Fireabll] was the weakest skill that Leo had. So, he aimed at the severely injured rank 9 ming lions and sessfully killed them. ¡®Ding, The host killed 30 rank 9 ming lions and gained 15000 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] is increased by 30 percent. ¡®Halfway into level 8 already. Excellent. It¡¯s time to stun them again.¡¯ [Heavenly Roar] Seeing that the ming lions wereing out of their fear, Leo repeated the skills starting from [Heavenly Roar]. ¡®At this rate, upgrading the talent to level 9 or even peak level 9 will not be a problem.¡¯ Leo aimed to upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to peak level 9 in this Bonus Mission. ¡­.. A few kilometers away, [Heavenly Fire Fang] It was one of the most powerful and destructive talents that the ming Lion King had, and the moment he got the chance, he decided to use it to take down Minister Ren. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ Before Minister Ren could say anything, the ming Lion King¡¯s fangs were covered in bright red-coloured mes pierced into Minister Ren¡¯s body. Soon, a huge explosion sted Minister Ren¡¯s body into the distance. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Minister Ren and the ming Lion Guardian demerged in the next second as the ming Lion Guardian turned into a red-coloured smoke and entered the re-coloured orb around Ren¡¯s neck. ¡°Older Brother, your n to take down was good; however, it is useless.¡± Fury walked close to Minister Ren and raised his paws to kill him; however, he could not do it. No matter how furious Fury was, Minister Ren was still his older brother, the one who looked after him in the early stages of his journey. ¡°I will forgive you and give you what you want. So, let¡¯s forget everything and stay as one single family.¡± Fury was grateful for his older brother¡¯s care in the past, and he was even willing to forgive Minister Ren for all his attempts to kill him and his son. Moreover, he was even willing to give his position as the king of the ming lions to him and his son¡¯s position as Heir to his son Begal. ¡°What do you say?¡± Fury was hoping that Minister Ren would nod his head in agreement. ¡°It is not going to happen.¡± Suddenly, Minister Ren revealed an evil look in his eyes and shouted loudly, ¡°Guardian, kill him now.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ In the next second, the ming Lion Guardian came out of the orb and pierced through Fury¡¯s body. ¡®Thud¡¯ With disappointment in his eyes, Fury¡¯s body fell to the ground, and he was no longer breathing. ¡°After today, there is no going back for any of us.¡± Standing up from the ground, Minister Ren scoffed at Fury¡¯s body and shouted, ¡°Kill that wild human and the dumb bull quickly.¡± ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 185 End of Minister Ren Unlike Fury, Ren didn¡¯t hesitate to kill Fury because as long as Fury survived, it would be trouble for him and his son. So, when Fury let his guard down, Minister Ren used his remaining strength to deal a killer blow to the ming Lion King. Since he had taken down the biggest threat away, Minister Ren was rxed as he asked his underlings to take care of the Terra Bull Tyrant and Leo. ¡®I have spent a lot of energy on thatst attack. I have to recover my strenght soon and take over the entire Beas as soon as possible.¡¯ Currently, Minister Ren was so weak that even a level 1 supreme-ranked beast hero could kill him, not to mention it would be a piece of cake for the Terra Bull Tyrant. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t bother to participate in the fight and only watched the ming Lion Generals fight the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Currently, Sutin was fighting with five supreme-ranked ming lions, and they were able to deal some damage to the Terra Bull Tyrant. However, no matter how many injuries he received from them, Sutin was able to heal them instantly because of his [Earth Healing]. ¡°Now, it is time for you to die.¡± [Earth Stomp] Sutin raised his forelegs and stomped on the ground with full force that was enough to shake the entire Emberfields. As for the supreme-ranked ming lions attacking him, they fell into the cracks formed on the ground.-. [Terra Storm] Sutin didn¡¯t give them any time as he summoned a huge terra storm that moved along the cracks formed on the ground. The ming lions stuck in the ground didn¡¯t have a choice other than helplessly looking at the iing terra storm that sucked them into it in no time. On the other hand, Leo was also killing one of the rank 9 ming lions while the supreme-ranked ming lions were looking at Leo with slight fear in their eyes. ¡°Damn it¡­I was happy that I took care of the strongest target but I forgot he was also the main threat.¡± Looking at how easily Sutin, Minister Ren cursed as he didn¡¯t expect that Sutin would swear his allegiance to Fury. That¡¯s right! Minister Ren was mistaken that Sutin became Fury¡¯s follower. So, after thinking for a moment, he shouted, ¡°Sutin, I have already killed Fury. Whatever my brother promised to give, I will give you the double. So, you can stop fighting now and swear your allegiance to me.¡± Since Fury was no longer alive, Minister Ren thought Sutin would stop fighting if he promised the double of whatever his brother promised him. ¡°Who said I am no longer alive?¡± Suddenly, Minister Ren heard a familiar voice from the smoke as Fury walked out of the smoke without a single injury on his body. ¡°You¡­how are you still alive?¡± Minister Ren was shocked to see that Fury was still alive, and there was not a single injury on his body. ¡°After I breakthrough to the level 9 supreme rank, my talent [Fire Clones] awakened a new effect. With the help of that effect, I can instantly swap my body with one of my clones.¡± Fury looked at his older brother and exined how he was still alive. ¡°So, basically, I can die 10 times in a day and among which, you have killed me five times.¡± Compared to before, Fury no longer felt any connection with Minister Ren. ¡®How is this possible¡­how is this possible?¡¯ Even though Minister Ren thought he was overestimating Fury; however, still, Fury waspletely out of his league from the start. Minister Ren felt his entire world was falling apart when he heard Fury¡¯s words. ¡°Litlte brother, please don¡¯t kill me. I am wrong.¡± Also, previously, he thought Fury would not kill him at any cost, and as he expected, Fury didn¡¯t kill him, which allowed Minister Ren to kill him. However, looking at Fury¡¯s emotionless eyes, Minister Ren knew Fury would no longer hesitate to kill him. Therefore, Minister Ren shamelessly fell to his knees and started begging Fury. ¡°I was hoping that we can still live together; however, I don¡¯t think it is possible anymore.¡± Fury¡¯s voice was low, but Minister Ren was shivering in fear when he heard those words. ¡°Little br¡­¡± ¡°Stop calling me that.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ Fury had already steeled his heart when he decided to kill his brother. He feared he might change his heart if he heard Minister Ren¡¯s words. So, he didn¡¯t give any time for Minister Ren to speak and instantly killed him. Fury looked at his older brother¡¯s corpse withplicated emotions before looking at Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Everyone, stop fighting¡­Roar¡± With a heaven-defying roar, Fury stopped the fight. ¡°Huh? Where am I?¡± ¡°Why is my body covered in injuries?¡± ¡°What am I doing here?¡± Hearing Fury¡¯s heaven-defying roar, all the ming lions stopped fighting and checked their surroundings in confusion. ¡°Your Majesty?¡± Soon, they saw the ming Lion King in the distance, hurriedly rushed towards him, and respectfully greeted him. ¡°Huh?¡± Seeing the sudden change in their behaviour, the ming Lion King frowned and looked at Minister Ren¡¯s corpse. ¡®Twinkle¡¯ The red-coloured orb around Minister Ren¡¯s neck turned into twinkling light dots, leaving behind a small red-coloured stone. ¡°A God Stone?¡± With a nce, Fury recognized the small stone on the ground; however, he didn¡¯t pick it up. ¡®Did Brother Ren was able to hypontize everyone, including the ming Lion Guardian with the help of this God Stone?¡¯ Fury frowned as he didn¡¯t remember a God Stone having such an effect. ¡®I think there was something else beside the God Stone.¡¯ Until a few moments back, it was a red-coloured orb that had the following abilities: 1) Capable of summoning the ming Lion Guardian. 2) Able to hypnotize the ming Lion Guardian and the rest of the ming Lions in the territory. 3) Gave Minister Ren the ability to merge with the ming Lion Guardian. ording to what Fury knew about the God Stone, it hadpletely different uses than the one he witnessed. Therefore, he feared some Evil Beast God¡¯s energy might lurk around it. ¡­.. ¡®Ding, Because of the ming Lion King¡¯s victory, the Bonus Mission will abruptly end. ¡®Ding, Continue killing if you want to forget about the reward and gain the Fury of the ming Lion King. On the other hand, when Leo was hesitating about whether he should continue to kill the ming Lions or not, he received a couple of system notifications. ¡®Even though I didn¡¯t upgrade it to peak level 9, I have gained so much from the mission.¡¯ Leo had gained such good rewards; however, before checking them, Leo transformed back into a human and summoned the lion cub. Since the ming Lion King seemed to find something, Leo wanted to see what it was. So, he rushed toward Fury along with the Lion cub. ¡°Little One, let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, Leo and the cub went to the ming Lion King and were surprised to see a God Stone. ¡°Sir Fury, can I have this God Stone?¡± ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 186 [Bonus Chapter] Heavenly Fire Purgatory ¡°Sir Fury, can I have this God Stone?¡± The moment Leo saw the God Stone beside Minister Ren¡¯s corpse, he asked the ming Lion King without hesitation. ¡°I don¡¯t have any problem to give it you; however, there seems to be¡± ¡°Excellent. Thank you for your generosity, Sir Fury.¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for the ming Lion King to finish his words as he directly went forward and picked the God Stone. ¡°¡­¡± Fury wanted to warn Leo about it; however, seeing that Leo was excited about the God stone, he didn¡¯t say anything and thought, ¡®I think he is nning to use it to break into the Supreme rank.¡¯ ¡°Okay.¡± Since Fury owed Leo for saving his son Lionel, he didn¡¯t mind giving away a valuable treasure like God Stone. ¡°Human, let¡¯s meet after I take care of the things in the territory. Lionel, take Leo to your den and let him rest.¡± Soon, Fury asked Lionel to take Leo away while he decided to take care of the things in his territory. ¡°Yes, Father.¡± Lionel nodded and guided Leo to his den. As the Heir of the ming Lion Race, Lionel¡¯s den was as spacious as the ming Lionel King.-. ¡­.. In one of the chambers in Lionel¡¯s den, ¡®Phew¡­finally, I can rest without any worries.¡¯ After seeing how powerful the ming Lion King was, Leo knew he was currently in the safest ce in the Beas. ¡®If only I can devour the corpses of all the ming Lions I have killed, it would have been nice.¡¯ While resting his back on arge bed that was covered by furred beast skins, Leo muttered to himself. Since he was in the Heavenly ming Lion Form, Leo could not use [Absolute Devour] to devour the corpses. Moreover, he was fully focused on killing as many rank 9 ming lions as possible to increase the potential of the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. Before he could devour the corpses, Leo learned that Minister Ren was controlling them, and they were not intentionally attacking them. As the King of the ming Lions, there was no way he would let Leo devour the corpses of the ming Lions. ¡®Anyway, I got a God Stone which is enough to make up for devouring all the corpses.¡¯ Leo could get the talents and the skills by devouring the corpses of other beasts or monsters; however, getting his hands on a God stone was rare. ¡®Before using the God Stone, let¡¯s check the rewards from the Bonus Mission.¡¯ Soon, Leo asked the system about the rewards. ¡®Ding, The host killed over 100 rank 9 ming Lions and three level 1 supreme-ranked ming lions. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] has upgraded to level 9 with a potential of (11/100) percent. ¡®Ding, The host gained one talent and two skills that can only be used when the host is in the Heavenly ming Lion form. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s level 9 special talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] had unlocked a special skill. ¡®Ding, As for the additional rewards, the host can pick one special skill as a talent and one ordinary skill as a skill from the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]¡¯s skillset. Note: The talent and skill will be added to the host¡¯s Talent list and Skill list, respectively. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head. ¡®The additional rewards werepletely out of my expectations.¡¯ Leo already knew about the level 9 talent; however, those additional rewards surprised him. ¡®Let¡¯s see how much [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] has changed.¡¯ Since he could pick any two skills he wanted, Leo decided to check the full information on his level 9 [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Heavenly ming Lion Transformation. Current Level: Level 9. Talent Type: Special. Effect: Upon activation of this talent, the user will transform into a Heavenly ming Lion for one hour with three main skills and two passive skills of the ming lion. Main skills: Fire fang, ming Fury and Heavenly roar, Fire Torrent, Fireball, Fire Whip, me w. Special skill: Heavenly purgatory Passive skills: Fire resistance, Fire Healing, Fire Absorber. Bloodline: None (It will be awakened when the talent upgrades to supreme ss) Transformation cooldown: One hour. Soon, the full information about the talent appeared in front of him. There were a couple of new talents; however, Leo already knew about most of them. So, he didn¡¯t bother to check the information on those skills. [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] Instead, Leo¡¯s eyes were on the special skill that was unlocked when he upgraded the talent to level 9. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: [Heavenly Fire Purgatory]. Effect: When the skill is activated, a certain radius around the user will turn into a firend that would evaporate the energies inside the body of his targets. Note: There is no limit to the number of targets; instead, it depends on the radius. The skill level is directly proportional to the radius of the effect. ¡®Since there is only one special skill, I will pick it.¡¯ ording to the system, he could pick one special and one ordinary skill. He could tell the skill [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] is a powerful mass destruction skill. Therefore, he picked it without thinking much. ¡®Ding, The special skill [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] will be turned into a special talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] and added to the host¡¯s talent list. ¡®Ding, Please select a normal skill soon. As soon as he selected the special skill, he received confirmation from the system; however, he was surprised that it would be turned into a special talent. ¡®It looks like I only need two more special talents to upgrade the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ With a slight smile, Leo nodded and said, ¡®I will pick Fire Torrent.¡¯ When Leo was in the Heavenly ming Lion Form, he had used the skill [Fire Torrent] multiple times and witnessed its power. Hence, he didn¡¯t think much before selecting it. ¡®Ding, The skill [Fire Torrent] will be added to the host¡¯s skill list. ¡®Since I have taken care of the rewards from the Bonus Mission, it is time to use the God Stone.¡¯ In the next second, a red-coloured stone appeared in Leo¡¯s hand. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 187 Consuming the God Stone ¡®Finally, it¡¯s time to be the supreme hero.¡¯ Leo was excited because finally, he could be a Supreme hero. ¡®Ding, The system detected a God Stone in the host¡¯s hand. ¡®Ding, Do you want to use the God Stone? Soon, Leo received two system notifications asking whether he wanted to use it. ¡®Of course, I want to use it.¡¯ Leo nodded without any hesitation. ¡®Ding, Please consume the God Stone to see what kind of benefits the host can select. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo raised his brows when he saw the system notification and wondered, ¡®What is it trying to do?¡¯ Previously, when he found the God Stone, the system directly asked him which effect he wanted to select using the God Stone. He gave up on bing the supreme-ranked hero to upgrade the system, and he didn¡¯t regret it; instead, he was happy about it.-. Because of the system upgrade, he received more rewards from the system. Unlike before, the system was asking him to consume the God Stone before showing him his options from the God Stone. ¡®Let¡¯s see.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think much because he had enough trust in the system. Hence, he tossed the red-coloured God Stone into his mouth. ¡®Ding, The host consumed a God Stone. Please pick one option from the following: 1) Select a level 9 talent to instantly upgrade it to the supreme ss (Rmended). 2) Instantly dissolve the curse. (Not rmended). 3) Upgrade the system (Strongly rmended). 4) Remove the Beast God Mark. (Not rmended). Soon, the system sent four options from which he must pick one. ¡®This is new. Is it because I upgraded the systemst time?¡¯ Looking at the four options on the holographic screen with the system¡¯s opinion beside each option, Leo guessed it was because of the system¡¯s upgrade. ¡®I can dissolve the curse on my own as long as I upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Ability] and since I am nning to lure the beast god follower¡¯s to attack me, there is no need to remove the Beast God Mark.¡¯ Even if the system rmended those two options, Leo would have directly eliminated them and looked at the first and third options. ¡®Having a supreme ss talent means bing a supreme-ranked hero. Even though it can increase my battle prowess a lot, it has its own disadvantages.¡¯ Even though bing a supreme-ranked hero seemed advantageous, it had a lot of disadvantages for Leo. ¡®The chances of awakening a talent or skill from devouring the rank 9 beings would be pitifully low. ¡®Whereas if I upgrade the system, it will definitely give me a new ability simr to [Talent Swallowing Ability] or [ve Swallowing Ability]. Moreover, the system already said that the mission and rewards would get better with each upgrade. ¡®Also the most important thing is I am only an inch away from bing a supreme-ranked hero. So, there is no need to waste a precious item like the God Stone on bing a supreme hero.¡¯ ¡®Therefore, I think it is better for me to select the third option.¡¯ Afterparing the pros and cons of the rmended options by the system, Leo decided to go with the system upgrade because he felt it was the best option to choose from. ¡®Ding, Are you sure about your option? The system asked onest time regarding Leo¡¯s option. ¡°I am 100 percent sure.¡± Leo didn¡¯t hesitate about it any longer and strongly nodded his head. ¡®At most it will take a few more days for me to be a supreme rank hero. So there is no need to worry about it.¡¯ Leo always wanted to be a supreme hero, and he could not help but think about thest requirement he had to fulfill for the talent [Call of the Undead] to be a supreme-ranked talent. ¡®I just have to turn a supreme-ranked corpse into an undead. I should go out and trypleting this requirement.¡¯ Since there were many supreme-ranked beasts and monsters in the wilderness, Leo decided to start his hunt soon. ¡®Ding, The system is about to undergo an upgrade. The host can¡¯t ess any system abilities for the next 9 days. ¡®What? 9 days?¡¯ Suddenly, the system sent an update about its upgrade, and Leo was shocked by the upgrade time. Previously, it took only one day for the system to finish its upgrade. Even though Leo already expected it would be longer than the previous upgrade, he didn¡¯t expect it to be 10 days. ¡®Ding, Remaining time: 8 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes (Beas¡¯s time). In the next second, Leo received another system notification which made him understand why the upgrade time was so long. ¡®So, it was Beas¡¯s time which means it is only 3 days in the real world.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯tin about the time and decided to take a rest for the day before going on the hunt from tomorrow. Outside the den, Fury and the high-level ming lions started sorting the things and held the funeral for their fallen brothers and sisters. ¡­. In the Human Territory, Wilderness of the Beas, ¡°You didn¡¯t find him yet?¡± A middle-aged man asked an old enved human with a frown. ¡°Yes, master. He must be hiding somewhere.¡± The old enved person replied in a t tone and continued, ¡°However, there is something that the master should know.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Jayden asked his old ve about it. ¡°The entire Evergreen Grasnds is empty with half of the Bull Dens copsed and there were signs of fighting.¡± ¡°Empty? Fighting?¡± A smile appeared on Jayden¡¯s face, and he asked, ¡°Did you see any signs of fire attacks?¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± ¡°Haha¡­it looks like the ming Lion King has already found his son and is starting to eliminate the other races.¡± For some reason, Jayden was excited about it and ordered the old enved person, ¡°I have already stayed in this world for a week. So, I have to leave this world for now.¡± ¡°However, I wille back in a month, I don¡¯t know what you do, capture the Spider Queen and Eagle King. Before that ming Lion King kills them, I have to add them to our family.¡± Jayden was sure that the ming Lion King would not go all out to kill the other two bestial rulers yet; however, after learning that he erased the Terra Bulls, Jayden rushed his ns. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The old man tly replied with a bow. ¡°Good. I will leave now.¡± Soon, he opened the portal and thought, ¡®Once I take control of this world, that human will also join the family along with the ming Lion King.¡¯ When he learned about Leo¡¯s actions in the Spider Queen¡¯s territory from his ve, Jayden wanted to turn Leo into a ve and add him to his family of ves. However, he didn¡¯t order his ve to look for Leo because he could guess that Leo would be under the protection of the ming Lion King. Nevertheless, Jayden had his own ns for the ming Lion King and as long as his ns seed, not only the ming Lion King, even Leo would be turned into a ve. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t order his ves to waste their time searching for Leo. ¡°Little Bear, stay here and increase your strength.¡± Before entering the portal, Jayden left his level 1 supreme-ranked enved beast in the Beas. ***** Author¡¯s words: Do you want me to continue one BONUS chapter every day?

Chapter 188 Leo versus Metal-Clawed Vultures (1) In Ogre¡¯s territory, ¡°How dare a mere rank 9 ming lion venture in our territory alone?¡± A level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture looked at a huge rank 9 ming lion and scoffed. Behind that vulture, a dozen rank 9 metal-wed vultures were eyeing the rank 9 ming lion as though they could not wait to eat them. The ming lions were the favourite food for these metal-wed vultures, and at the same time, they had an unresolvable feud with them. Therefore, when they saw a lone rank 9 ming lion venturing into their territory, they wanted to y with it before eating it. ¡°Why not?¡± The rank 9 ming lion was not anxious to encounter a supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture and a group of rank 9 vultures; instead, it was excited. [Heavenly Roar] [ming Fury] Without wasting any time, it decreased the fighting will of his targets and increased its own battle prowess. [Fire Torrent] Soon, it summoned fiery winds that caught all the rank 9 metal-wed vultures and burnt them to death, whereas the level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture was severely injured before falling to the ground. ¡°It¡¯s bing easier to fight the supreme-ranked beasts.¡± The huge ming lion walked toward the injured supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture and ced its paw on the vulture¡¯s thin neck, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call your friends?¡±-. ¡°You¡± The metal-wed vulture was shocked by the actions of the rank 9 ming lion; however, it didn¡¯t hesitate and started screeching at the top of its lungs. ¡®Screech¡¯ Soon, ugly screeches resounded in the entire Ogre¡¯s territory, alerting all the metal-wed vultures. ¡­ ¡®Damn these bloody vultures. Even though their king was killed long back, they are still noisy.¡¯ Somewhere in the Ogre¡¯s territory, in an underground cave, a huge red-coloured ogre woke up from his sleep with an annoyed look as he cursed the metal-wed vultures. ¡°Your Majesty, do you want me to take care of them?¡± Besides the huge ogre, a muscr ogre is sitting in a cross-legged position, asked the red-coloured ogre with a serious look on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t bother with those lowly birds.¡± The Ogre King shook his head and said, ¡°I promised theirte king I would not kill them.¡± ¡°But, they are bing annoying and dared to disturb His Majesty¡¯s sleep.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry; these bloody vultures would die in the jaws of the ming Lion King in a year or two. Anyway, I will go back to sleep and increase my strength.¡± After saying those words, the Ogre King went back to his sleep. As for the muscr Ogre, he went back to his mediation. ¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t know where your confidence ising from, but you will die with me today.¡± The metal-wed vulture looked at the ming lion with a furious look. The vulture already knew it would die today; however, it was satisfied that its killer would be joining it soon. ¡°I still have many things to do. So, I will not join you in death.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ As soon as it finished speaking, the ming lion swiped at the vulture¡¯s neck and sessfully killed it. ¡®Ding, The host killed 12 rank 9 metal-wed vultures and gained 3600 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked metal and gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. Soon, system notifications rang in the ming lion¡¯s head. The huge rank 9 ming lion was none other than Leo, who used the feud between the ming lions and the metal-wed vultures to lure them. ¡®I think it will take a couple of minutes for the supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures to arrive.¡¯ Looking at the supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture¡¯s corpse, Leo thought to work on why he started hunting in the wilderness. ¡®Cancel¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo returned to his human form and walked closer to the corpse. [Call of the Undead]. cing his hand on the corpse, Leo activated his talent to turn the corpse into an undead being. There were multiple reasons behind Leo¡¯s hunt in the wilderness after resting a day in the Emberfield. However, the main reason was to turn a supreme-ranked beast¡¯s corpse into undead and fulfil thest requirement for his talent [Call of the Undead] to be a supreme ss talent. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, ck-coloured eerie energy came out of Leo¡¯s hand as it surrounded the entire corpse. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ After a few seconds, there were slight movements in the corpse as breaking sounds came from it. ¡®It¡¯s working.¡¯ Seeing the slight movements and hearing the breaking sounds, Leo became serious as he could tell it was going in the right direction. ¡°How dare a mere wild human kill, my brothers.¡± Suddenly, an angry voice came from the sky, making Leo slightly lose his focus. ¡®Boom¡¯ In the next second, the supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture¡¯s body exploded and turned into nothingness. ¡®Ding, The host failed to convert a level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture¡¯s corpse into an undead being. ¡®Ding, Please try again after one hour to increase the sess rate of the conversion. Soon, the system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, making Leo furious. ¡°Damn you, b*stards.¡± Leo looked at the group of rank 9 metal-wed vultures in the sky with red eyes and hollered, ¡°Since you are in such a rush to die, I will give you one.¡± [Wyvern Wings] [Sunfire Bolts] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished saying those words, Leo flew into the sky with his huge wings and released ten sharp fire bolts at the rank 9 metal-wed vultures. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ Even though the rank 9 metal-wed vultures blocked some, they could not escape their fate. [Water de] It was because Leo used a level 8 talent to kill those metal-wed vultures that block his Sunfire bolts. [First Strike in Triple Strike, 50 percent additional damage] [Secod Strike in Triple Strike, 100 percent additional damage] [Third Strike in Triple Strike, 200 percent additional damage] After killing all the rank 9 metal-wed vultures, Leo used the water de in his hand to kill the supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture with the help of his talent [Triple Strike]. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture and gained one of its skills as a reward. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 189 [Bonus Chapter] Leo versus Metal-Clawed Vultures (2) ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture and gained one of its skills as a reward. After hunting in the wilderness for a couple of days, it became a piece of cake for Leo to kill the level 1 supreme-ranked beasts. Of course, it was only possible by using his multiple talents and skills in unison. ¡®Finally, a new skill.¡¯ Even though he killed four supreme-ranked beast heroes during thest two days after leaving the Emberfields, the system didn¡¯t reward him with additional rewards saying that the host needed to kill powerful targets to give rewards. Nevertheless, it also informed him that he would randomly receive a reward once in a while. ¡®Ding, Skill Name: Wind Resistance (Level 1). Skill Type: Passive Effect: The effect of the wind element attacks will be reduced by 10 percent. ¡®Even though the effect was only 10 percent, it was only at level 1 right now. It might make me immune to wind-rted attacks when it is upgraded to level 9 or supreme ss skill.¡¯ It was not Leo¡¯s first Passive/ Resistance type skill or talent. Currently, he has a talent [Water Resistance] and two skills [Poison Resistance] and [Wind Resitance]. ¡®However, the problem is I can¡¯t upgrade this new skill by [Talent Promoter] or [Absolute Devour]. So, it will take a lot of time to upgrade it naturally.¡¯-. Leo muttered to himself before looking at the corpses on the ground. [Absolute Devour] Soon, he devoured the rank 9 metal-wed vultures and stored the level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture in his secret dimensional space. ¡®I should refine them after collecting all the supreme-ranked vultures.¡¯ Since more and more metal-wed vultures would being for him, Leo decided to turn the supreme-ranked corpses into undead beings after taking care of them. He didn¡¯t want to get disturbed in the middle like before. ¡®Even though I have failed five times in converting the supreme-ranked corpses. I am getting better with each attempt. As long as I continue trying it, I will definitely be sessful in the next five attempts for sure.¡¯ Turning a supreme-ranked corpse into undead beings was not an easy task for Leo with his level 9 [Call of the Undead]. Nevertheless,pared to before, he was confident in seeding after a few more attempts. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡®Screech¡¯ As Leo was waiting for the metal-wed vultures, he heard the screeches of many vultures, and in no time, the entire sky was filled with thousands of rank 9 metal-wed vultures. ¡°Thanks foring so soon.¡± Leo stretched his huge wyvern wings and shot in the sky at full speed. [Water de] [Sunfire Bolts] Even though Leo could instantly turn all the rank 9 metal-wed vultures into ashes with his [Mghty Combustion¡¯s first effect ¨C Radius st], he didn¡¯t use it. He wanted the corpses of rank 9 beasts to devour and gain a few talents and skills along with the devouring experience. ¡®Not only I can devour the corpses, but the potential of these talents and skills would be increased.¡¯ The talents and skills that Leo awakened using [Absolute Devour] were currently stuck at level 8, and he needed to use those talents and skills 100 times each for further upgrade. So, he decided to farm them while ensuring that the bodies remained in shape for his devouring. [w Strike] [Spatial maniption ¨C Secret dimensional space]. Whenever the supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures attacked him, he would dodge them, and if dodging were impossible, he would enter the secret dimensional space. ¡°War God Battle-Axe,e out.¡± [Battle-axe Mastery] After killing hundreds of ranked metal-wed vultures, Leo even tried to increase the potential of his talent [Battle-axe Mastery]. With the help of [Talent Promoter] and advanced upgrade stone, he had already upgraded the talent to level 8, and his goal was to upgrade it to level 9 such that killing the supreme-ranked beasts and monsters would be even easier with his quasi-supreme ranked battle-axe. Rank 9 metal-wed vultures were killed with ease. Level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures were killed with some effort. Level 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures were killed with a lot of effort. As for Level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures, Leo wanted to see whether he could kill them or not; however, there were no level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures for Leo to test his battle prowess. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡°How dare you kill my subordinates?¡± Soon, a loud screech from a distance resounded as 10 huge vultures flew towards him. Among the 10 huge vultures, the center one had four wings instead of two, and its ws were Gold in colour. As for the remaining vultures, their ws were pale yellow in colour; however, from their size, it was evident that they were powerful metal-wed vultures. ¡°Minister¡± ¡°Generals.¡± Everyone was excited to see that their minister and generals were personallying to assist them in killing the wild human. ¡®Since the powerful bosses areing, there is no need for the cannon fodder to exist anymore.¡¯ Leo was not worried even with the appearance of the 10 huge metal-wed vultures; instead, he decided to kill the thousands of rank 9 beasts. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Radius st]. ¡®Boom¡¯ Soon, a fiery heat wave released from his body that covered one kilometer radius around Leo, sessfully killing all the rank 9 metal-wed vultures. As for level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures, they were injured moderately and lightly, respectively, depending on how close they were to Leo. ¡®Ding, The host killed 2456 rank 9 metal-wed vultures and gained 1.22 million [Promote Points]. ¡®Sigh¡­If I had consumed all these corpses, I would have gained so many talents or skills.¡¯ Leo sighed; however, he was satisfied with the 1.2 million [Promote Points]. Even after considering the limitation of [Absolute Devour], where his chances of awakening a talent or skill would be reduced to one percent after the sessful trigger of its effect, Leo would have gained at least 5 talents or skills without a doubt. ¡°Everyone, kill him.¡± The Vulture Minister became furious as he ordered everyone to attack Leo. He received an emergency signal from one of the vulture captains and learned that a wild human was killing them. His metal-wed vultures were already low in number after the death of their king, and a human was killing thousands of his vultures. Therefore, he didn¡¯t hesitate to bring all the vulture captains to take care of Leo. ¡°Yes, minister.¡± The nine Vulture Generals nodded before rushing towards Leo along with the Vultures Captains. ¡°I am waiting for the level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures for a while. Let¡¯s see whether I can kill you beasts or not.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After finishing his words, Leonded on the ground and waited for the vultures toe close to him. ¡°Wild human, your overconfidence is going to kill you.¡± One of the Vulture Generals mocked Leo as they increased their speed towards Leo. [Metallic Beak] Almost all the vultures used the same skill in which their sharp beaks shone with bright light and grew a few inches longer. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Moreover, their speeds also increased after activating that talent. ¡°Really? Let¡¯s see.¡± Leo scoffed back at them as he shouted, [Mighty Combustion¡¯sst effect ¨C Firestorm]. ***** Author¡¯s words: Do you want me to continue one BONUS chapter every day? If so, motivate the author with GIFTS (Any gift will do). Chapter 190 Elemental Advantage [Mighty Combustion¡¯sst effect ¨C Firestorm] Leo scoffed and activated his most powerful attack by looking at the iing supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, a huge fire tornado appeared before Leo as he skillfully positioned it in one ce. ¡®Let¡¯s see how much damage I will be dealing to them.¡¯ [Space Maniption ¨C Secret Dimensional Space] Even though his [Firestorm] is powerful, Leo knew it was not enough for him to kill the level 3 supreme-ranked beasts. So, if he stayed in the same ce, he would be killed without a doubt. Therefore, after creating a huge [Firestorm], Leo directly entered his secret dimensional space without any hesitation. Leo had already appraised the strength of the newly arrived supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures and found out. The so-called Vulture Minister had a strength of Level 4 supreme rank, whereas the nine Vulture Generals had a strength of level 3 supreme rank. The iing metal-wed vultures saw that Leo summoned a firestorm and disappeared from his ce; however, they didn¡¯t have any time to dodge the iing Firestorm as they got caught in it before they could do anything. ¡®Swoosh¡¯-. ¡®Generals, please save me.¡¯ ¡®Save me.¡¯ The level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures were already injured from Leo¡¯s [Radius st], and their condition worsened inside the Firestorm. As their bodies burned inside the Firestorm, they begged the Vulture Generals; however, it was useless because the so-called Vulture Generals were busy saving their own lives. ¡®If I have the title [Vulture Killer], they would have been instantly burned to death.¡¯ From the secret dimensional space, Leo was watching how powerful the [Firestorm] was. Even though Leo had used it multiple times, he still didn¡¯t get theplete idea about how powerful this effect was because he had used it against the Water Spiders and Terra Bulls. Since the beast heroes from these two races had suppressed 50 percent of their battle prowess because of the titles, Leo could not assess its full power. ¡®Nevertheless, this effect is enough to injure the level 3 supreme-ranked beings. Not bad.¡¯ If not for the one-hour cooldown on the entire talent [Mighty Combustion], Leo could have used it repeatedly to kill the level 3 or even level 4 supreme-ranked beings. ¡®Ding, The host killed 10 level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures and gained 10 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 5 level 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures and gained 10 [Supreme Promote Points]. The level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures struggled a lot before dying, whereas the level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures were slightly injured. ¡®So, I can kill the level 2 supreme-ranked beings without any problem.¡¯ Leo noted down the limit of his battle prowess. ¡®Ding, No. The host killed the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures because of the elemental advantage. ¡®What?¡¯ Just as Leo was feeling happy about the huge increment in his battle prowess, he received a sudden system notification that evaporated his happiness. Leo didn¡¯t need an exnation regarding the [Elemental Advantage] because he already knew it. ¡®Ding, Metal-wed Vulture is a Metal/Wind dual attributed wild beast. Both Metal and Wind elements are extremely weak against the Fire element. So, they received double damage when the host used powerful fire talent like [Mighty Combustion ¨C FireStorm]. ¡®And here I was excited that I can finally kill the level 2 supreme rank heroes.¡¯ Leo shook his head in disappointment. The elemental advantage among the basic four elements is Earth > Water > Fire > Wind > Earth ¡®Looks like I can only kill level 1 supreme rank heroes and can injure the level 2 supreme rank heroes with my current strength.¡¯ After the system reminded Leo about the ¡®Elemental Advantage¡¯, he concluded. ¡°Where did he go?¡± ¡°He must be hiding somewhere.¡± ¡°Find him. We have to kill that b*stard that killed all our men.¡± The Vulture Generals, who were injured lightly, checked their surroundings for Leo with furious eyes. ¡°Wild Human, you think you can hide from my ws?¡± As the Vulture Generals were searching for Leo, the Four Winged Golden-wed Vulture looked at Leo, who was currently hiding in the secret dimensional space. While he was saying those words, Vulture Minister¡¯s ws brightly shone as he flew towards where Leo was hiding. ¡®Huh? It looks like he can see me even though I am hiding in the secret dimensional space.¡¯ Leo raised his brows for a moment before revealing a cold smile on his face. If it was before, Leo would have been shocked by the fact that the Vulture Minister could see him inside the secret dimension space. However, after the First Spider General shattered his secret dimensional space, he was no longer surprised or shocked. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Whether the Vulture Minister¡¯s attack could enter the secret dimensional space or not, Leo didn¡¯t bother about it. He had only one thought in his head, ¡®I don¡¯t want my secret dimensional space to be shattered again.¡¯ ¡°Sutin, stomp it to the ground.¡± The moment Leo walked out of the secret dimensional space, he summoned the Terra Bull Tyrant from his beast storage device and gave an order. Even though Sutin is a level 6 supreme rank beast hero, Leo didn¡¯t have any problem storing him inside a Beast Storage Device because Sutin was willing to enter it. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Before leaving the Emberfields, Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant had agreed that Leo would take care of the thinking, and the Terra Bull Tyrant would take care of the things rted to muscles. So, the moment he came out of the Beast Storage Device, Sutin didn¡¯t think about anything as he blindly followed Leo¡¯s orders, raised his forelegs so high, and stomped the iing Vulture Minister to the ground. ¡®What? Where did this Terra Bull Tyrant appear from?¡¯ The Vulture Minister waspletely focused on Leo and shocked by the sudden appearance of the Terra Bull Tyrant. Moreover, the Vulture Minister could not control its speed and was stomped to the ground by the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡®Thud¡¯ Sutin didn¡¯t stop there as he repeatedly stomped the Vulture Minister and shattered all the bones in its body. ¡°Let me give thest blow.¡± Leo walked toward the Vulture Minister with his Quasi-supreme ranked battle-axe with a cold smile. ***** Bonus Chapters for Gifts. Chapter 191 Generous Rewards No matter who defeats his targets, as long as Leo strikes the killing blow, it would be counted as his kill. Since the Vulture Minister is a level 4 supreme rank beast hero, the rewards from killing such a powerful beast hero would be great, and Leo didn¡¯t want to miss those rewards. Therefore, he decided to strike the killing blow before ordering the Terra Bull Tyrant, ¡°Try capturing the remaining nine metal-wed vultures alive.¡± He wanted to use the same tactic for the nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures, Even though the metal-wed vultures have wings and could fly away, Leo was confident that the Terra Bull Tyrant would not let them escape. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Sutin nodded and eyed the remaining nine metal-wed vultures. ¡°Let¡¯s escape.¡± They didn¡¯t hesitate even a little as they decided to escape leaving their Vulture Minister. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Stay here for a while.¡± How could the Terra Bull Tyrant let them escape? [Terra Storm] As the metal-wed vultures pped their wings to fly higher, the Terra Bull Tyrant used one of his powerful talents that could be used for mass destruction. Moreover, [Terra Storm] could travel long ranges horizontally and vertically depending on the user¡¯s control.-. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, a huge tornado rose from the earth, mixed with sand, stones and even trees. However, the terra storm didn¡¯t move in any direction; instead, it was fixed at one point as it grew in size. ¡®Screech¡¯ The nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures trying to escape were sucked into the [Terra Storm]. ¡°It looks like Sutin has taken care of them. Now, it is your turn.¡± Leo dragged the huge ck axe and informed the Vulture Minister with a cold smile. ¡°H-how did you tame the Terra Bull Tyrant?¡± Finally, the Vulture Minister understood why the wild human was confident. It was not because of his ability to hide in the [Secret Dimensional Space]; instead, it was because his beast follower is one of the four bestial rulers of the Beas. It gave up fighting the moment it was stomped to the ground; however, it was curious about how Leo was able to tame the Terra Bull Tyrant. It was a known fact in the Beas that even the ming Lion King failed to tame the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Because I could fool him, and he was impressed by my intelligence.¡± Leo raised his battle-axe; however, he stopped in the middle and answered him before striking the killing blow. [War God¡¯s Battle-axe¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Brutal Strike] Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant thoroughly defeated the Vulture Minister, it was still a level 4 supreme-ranked beast hero. So, Leo used his full power and even used a weapon skill. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host killed the Level 4 supreme-ranked Golden-wed vulture and gained 8 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a level 4 supreme-ranked beast for the first time. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with the following: 1) One random talent from the beast. 2) One random skill from the beast. 3) One level 1 supreme ss upgrade stone. ¡®Ding, Do you want to ept it? Soon, the system notifications that Leo was expecting rang in his head. ¡®Even though the system didn¡¯t give a talent separately, I am satisfied with the three rewards for killing a level 4 supreme-ranked beast for the first time.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯tin about not getting additional talent and epted the rewards. ¡®Only a fool will reject such generous rewards.¡¯ This was the thought in his mind when he nodded his head at the system. ¡®Ding, The host awakened the talent [Spatial sh] that can tear the space apart and inflict damage on the targets hiding inside a separate dimension. Note: Even on the regr targets not hiding in the secret dimension, and it inflicts huge damage. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a skill [Metal w]. ¡®Ding, A level 1 supreme ss upgrade stone is stored in the host¡¯s storage ring. Soon, he received all the rewards from the system, giving him a pleasant surprise. ¡®So, this Vulture Minister was trying to use this [Spatial sh] to attack him.¡¯ However, when he thought about the Vulture Minister¡¯s actions, Leo understood. ¡®And as for this Level 1 supreme ss upgrade stone, it is my time to hear about it.¡¯ Leo had a rough understanding of the item¡¯s usage; however, he was not sure about itpletely. ¡®However, before checking it, I must devour this corpse.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want to reduce his chances of awakening a talent or skill by dying the time. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste time and used [Absolute Devour] to consume the corpse. Even though Leo nned to turn a supreme-ranked beast corpse into an undead being, he didn¡¯t have any ns to turn the Vulture Minister¡¯s corpse because it was high-level. The chances of him failing the conversion was very high. ¡®It is better to awaken a guaranteed talent or skill; instead of turning it into nothingness.¡¯ If he failed the conversion process, the corpse would turn into nothingness, and Leo didn¡¯t want that. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed the level 4 supreme-ranked beast¡¯s corpse killed by him. ¡®Ding, The host awakened an active talent [eleration] that increases the host¡¯s speed by a specific percent depending on the level of the talent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s all skills awakened by [Absolute Devour] are upgraded to level 8. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s skill [Water de] is upgraded to level 9. Without any surprise, Leo awakened a new talent and the experience gained from devouring a level 4 supreme-ranked beast was so huge that all skills reached level 8. Of course, most were already level 7 and 8, but there were still a few at level 1. Moreover, a skill even reached level 9 with its potential being (91/100) percent. ¡®I should work even harder and upgrade the remaining skills and talents from [Absolute Devour] to level 9 before leaving this world.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and determined to use all his skills and talents 100 times each. ¡®Now, let¡¯s see what this Level 1 Supreme ss Upgrade Stone is.¡¯ ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts. Chapter 192 [Bonus] Telepathy ¡®Now, let¡¯s see what this Level 1 Supreme ss Upgrade Stone is.¡¯ In the next second, a light purple-coloured fist-sized stone appeared in Leo¡¯s hand along with a holographic screen with the information about the stone. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Supreme ss Upgrade Stone (Level 1). Use: The user can upgrade a level 1 supreme ss talent to level 2. Note: 1) There is a slight chance of mutation while using this stone to upgrade the talent. 2) It can be used on 99 percent of special talents. ¡®As I expected.¡¯ From the name of the stone, Leo had already expected its usage. So, he was not surprised much. ¡®I just need to upgrade the [Call of the Undead] to supreme ss, and I can use this upgrade stone to upgrade it further.¡¯ Leo knew he was very close to upgrading one of his talents to level 1 supreme ss and bing a supreme hero. The moment he upgrades his talent [Call of the Undead] to supreme ss, Leo could directly be a level 2 supreme hero. ¡®It looks like I don¡¯t need Sutin¡¯s help in taking my revenge anymore.¡¯ Since Theodore was only a level 1 supreme hero, Leo was already confident in taking him down with the strength of a level 1 supreme hero.-. However, he would be a level 2 supreme hero, and he could confidently take revenge on his own without the help of the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡®Time to store the level 1 supreme-ranked beast corpses and devour the level 2 supreme-ranked beast corpses.¡¯ Soon, Leo started storing the dozen level 1 supreme-ranked beast corpses.¡¯ ¡°Master, I captured them alive.¡± Just as Leo was storing the corpses, he stopped his actions when he heard Sutin¡¯s words. ¡°Huh? They are still alive?¡± Soon, Leo¡¯s eyes fell on the nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures lying on the ground with bodies full of injuries and broken bones. He was surprised to see them alive because Leo had seen them sucked into a powerful [Terra Storm] summoned by Sutin. ¡°You asked me to capture them alive, and I did.¡± Even though Sutin¡¯s voice was hoarse, it didn¡¯tck respect while speaking to Leo. ¡®Looks like he knows how to control the damage caused by his talent.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect the Terra Bull Tyrant to be capable of controlling the damage of his powerful talent. Having a powerful talent or skill is good but having full control over that powerful talent or skill is great. ¡°Well done.¡± Leo praised the Terra Bull Tyrant before walking towards the nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures. ¡°Your minister and others are waiting for you, so let¡¯s not waste time talking.¡± Leo killed them all in a few seconds as soon as he finished his words, just like how he killed the Vulture Minister. ¡®Ding, The host killed nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures and gained 36 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a level 3 supreme-ranked being for the first time. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with the following rewards: 1) One random talent from the metal-wed vulture. 2) One special upgrade stone. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head as he was given additional rewards for the first time, killing f level 3 supreme-ranked being for the first time. ¡®A special upgrade stone?¡¯ Leo was not surprised by the first reward, but the second one made him reveal a slight smile. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a talent [Telepathy]. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Telepathy (Level 1). Effect: The user canmunicate with someone on whom he left a ¡®Telepathy mark¡¯ within a one-kilometer radius. Current targets: 0/1 (By touching someone, the user can leave a telepathy mark on them). Note: The number of targets and themunication distance increases with the level of the talent. ¡®Ding, A special upgrade stone has been added to the host¡¯s storage ring. Soon, he received the two rewards from the system along with the information about his new talent. ¡®Telepathy? A useful skill to have.¡¯ Even though [Telepathy] didn¡¯t have any fighting power, Leo knew how useful it would be when he upgraded it to a high level. ¡®At a high level,municating with someone on the other end of the world is highly possible with this talent.¡¯ Leo nodded his head at the usefulness of the talent. ¡®I need one normal talent and two special talents to upgrade the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Another good news for him as he was getting closer to upgrading the [Talent Promoter] to level 7. ¡°Sutin, do you eat them?¡± Leo was about to consume the corpses of the nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures when he realized something and asked the Terra Bull Tyrant. ording to what Leo knew about the beasts, they would consume the corpses of other beasts and monsters to increase their strength. Even though it won¡¯t be as good as his [Absolute Devour], it could still help them. Therefore, Leo decided to ask his beast follower. ¡°I can replenish my energy and increase my strength through the consumption of other beings, master.¡± Sutin didn¡¯t hesitate and gave an honest answer. ¡°You can eat them all.¡± Leo permitted the Terra Bull Tyrant to consume the nine level 3 supreme-ranked metal-wed vultures without thinking much. ¡°Chom¡­cho¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant was holding back his urge to eat them for a while, and finally, when he heard Leo¡¯s permission, he didn¡¯t waste any time and started munching on them. The thing is, Leo already received the system notification saying that his chances of awakening a talent and skills are reduced to one percent. So, he decided to let the Terra Bull Tyrant have fun eating them. ¡®Time to get back to work.¡¯ Soon, he resumed his earlier work of storing the level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked corpses. ¡®I will let the Lion Cub enjoy a level 2 supreme-ranked corpse and store the remaining to turn into undead beings after my talent [Call of the Undead] is upgraded to level 2 supreme ss.¡¯ Leo nned everything for the next few days and was excited to start the process of turning the corpses into undead beings. ¡®Appraise the special upgrade stone.¡¯ While Sutin was enjoying his feast, Leo checked his earlier reward. ***** Support the author with Power Stones and Gifts.

Use: The user can use this stone to upgrade any talent, including most of the special talents, by one level that is below the supreme ss. Note: It can¡¯t upgrade some rare special talents. Soon, the information appeared in front of Leo, making him nod. ¡®What are these rare special talents?¡¯ Leo knew about the special talents that were already rare; however, he didn¡¯t know what these rare special talents were. ¡®Ding, The talents like [Absolute Devour] and [Talent Promoter] fall under the super rare talents that can¡¯t be upgraded even with the special upgrade stones. ¡®And here I was excited that I could upgrade those two talents.¡¯ Before he could check the usage of the ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯, Leo already guessed it could be useful in upgrading the special talents. Therefore, Leo thought he could upgrade his two supporting-type special talents. However, after hearing the system notification that he could not use the ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯, Leo could not help but be disappointed. ¡®Anyway, I can still upgrade the regr special talents.¡¯-. Currently, he has multiple special talents that the normal talent upgrade stones could not upgrade. ¡®I should use this talent upgrade stone on the talents that are either gained through [Talent Awakening Ability] or the talents rewarded by the system.¡¯ ¡®Also, it is better to use this upgrade stone when a special talent is at level 8.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t use the talent upgrade stone blindly and decided on which talent he should use and when to use it. Leo could use the experience points from devouring the corpse to upgrade the talents as long as he used that special talent 100 times. Since it can upgrade any level of talent by one, upgrading a level 8 special talent is the right thing to do. As of now, there are no talents that meet those criteria. So, he decided to use itter. ¡°Sutin, let¡¯s go.¡± After clearing all the corpses, Leo and Sutin quietly returned to the Emberfields. ¡­. ¡®Sister, is he the ¡®One¡¯?¡¯ ¡®At first, I had my doubts; however, after seeing how the Terra Bull Tyrant is following his orders, I am absolutely sure about it.¡¯ ¡®So, what should we do now? Approach him directly?¡¯ ¡®My dear little brother, even though I am sure it was him, we can¡¯tpletely rely on my talent as there were times it put us in a more dangerous situation.¡¯ ¡®What else can we do other than risking our lives?¡¯ A few kilometers away from where Leo fought with the Metal-wed Vultures, a brother and sister duo conversed while looking at Leo. Thedy was in her mid-twenties with a beautiful face and well-developed body. She had long ck hair and a worried look on her beautiful face. As for the young man, he seemed to be around 20 years old with two thin but long swords on his back. He had a muscr body with tanned skin. Both wore ck designer clothes made up of supreme-ranked beasts; however, they looked old and worn out from wearing them for long. ¡®Let¡¯s continue to observe him for a few days and get a rough understanding of his character before approaching him to request help.¡¯ Aurora continued to look at Leo as she replied to her brother Arlo. ¡®I am okay with whatever you say, Big Sis.¡¯ Arlo knew his big sister was more intelligent than him, and even with no battle prowess, she had protected him for thest ten years and made him a supreme rank hero. Therefore, Arlo left all the thinking to his sister, and he was okay with whatever she suggested to him. ¡®ording to my talent, if we fail this time, there will be no next time for us. So, we have to be careful.¡¯ Soon, the brother and sister duo followed Leo as quietly as possible. Of course, they maintained a distance of a couple of kilometers between them. ¡®Sister, he is entering the Emberfields.¡¯ ¡®I can see that.¡¯ The duo was shocked when they saw Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant enter the Emberfields. ¡®What should we do now, sister? We can¡¯t enter the Emberfields to spy on him for a few days.¡¯ Arlo became slightly anxious because Emberefields is a ce where they could not enter as they pleased. ¡®Let¡¯s wait here and observe the situation first.¡¯ When she finished her words, they found a high ground where they could see half of the Emberfields. [Perfect Camouge ¨C Integration into the surroundings] Once they found a ce to settle, Aurora used her talent without wasting time. In the next second, Aurora and Arlo integrated into the surroundings as they observed Leo¡¯s movements in the Emberfields. ¡­ In the Emberfield, ¡®What is this feeling? Am I being paranoid?¡¯ From the moment they left the ce where Leo killed the metal-wed vultures, he felt ufortable as though someone was observing him. However, he could not find anyone, and even the system didn¡¯t sense anyone. Therefore, he didn¡¯t think much about it and entered the Emberfields. ¡°Brother Leo, you are back.¡± As soon as he entered the Emberfields, the lion cub Lionel rushed into Leo¡¯s arms. ¡°I brought something for you.¡± Soon, Leo summoned a level 2 supreme-ranked corpse and said, ¡°You can eat it and be an Advanced Beast Hero.¡± Currently, Lionel was at peak rank 6 beast hero and an inch away from bing a rank 7 beast hero. Eating a level 2 supreme-ranked corpse would help him in crossing that barrier. ¡°For me? Thank you.¡± Lionel jumped out of Leo¡¯s arms and excitedly dragged the corpse into his den to have a feast. Even though Fury loved Lionel a lot, he didn¡¯t give him any special treatment just because he was his son. Like any other Lion Cub, Lionel had to hunt a monster in the training grounds and eat it. So, he didn¡¯t consume any supreme-ranked beast meat in his life. Therefore, when he saw that Leo was gifting him a supreme-ranked beast corpse, Lionel hurriedly dragged it into his den, fearing his father might take it away from him. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was speechless at Lionel¡¯s actions; however, he didn¡¯t bother much about it. ¡°Master, I will go and rest to absorb the energy from my earlier meal.¡± After Lionel left, the Terra Bull Tyrant asked for Leo¡¯s permission before leaving to his den. For a beast, it was mandatory to rest to absorb the energy from their meals. Moreover, there was nothing that Leo needed from Sutin now. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t stop and asked him to rest properly. ¡®Anyway, it is time to start turning the corpses into undead beings.¡¯ Leo entered the guest den without wasting any more time and took out a level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture¡¯s corpse. ¡®I hope I can sessfully turn a corpse into an undead being andplete the final requirement to upgrade the [Call of the Undead] to Supreme ss.¡¯ Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at the corpse on the ground and ced his hand on it before activating his talent [Call of the Undead]. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 194 Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In a ming lion den, a young man ced his hand on a floating metal-wed vulture¡¯s corpse. An eerie death aura was currently surrounding him and the floating corpse. ¡®Leo, you can do it.¡¯ From time to time, Leo encouraged himself as he was fully focused on the corpse that started twitching. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ Soon, the sounds from the corpse became louder, and the corpse¡¯s movements became violent. ¡®It is working.¡¯ However, Leo was not anxious; instead, he was satisfied because he knew the process was on track. Leo had turned so many corpses into undead beings in the past. So, he could tell whether the process was going smoothly or not? ¡®I used to take only ten minutes to convert a rank 9 beast corpse into an undead beast; however, it¡¯s been nearly one and half hours since I started, but I am still far frompleting it.¡¯ Leo had already expected it would take more time to convert a supreme-ranked corpse into an undead being; however, he didn¡¯t expect it would be more than ten times.-. Nevertheless, for Leo, time was not an issue, and the only thing he wanted right now was a sessful conversion of a corpse into an undead being. ¡®The movements are bing less violent, which means the conversion is about to end.¡¯ Leo became extra attentive because the final part of the process would be dropping his blood on the corpse to awaken its consciousness that would be connected to him sessfully. ¡®Please be sessful.¡¯ Leo¡¯s one hand was on the floating corpse as he bit a finger from the other hand. ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host failed to turn a corpse into an undead being. However, before his blood could drop on the corpse, it was sted into nothingness. ¡®Damn it¡­I was so close.¡¯ Leo gritted his teeth and shook his head in disappointment. ¡®However, I am getting better at this.¡¯ After returning to the Emberfields, Leo stayed in his den while attempting to turn the level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed vulture¡¯ corpses into undead beings. However, he was failing each time, and every time he failed, he would take a break for one or two hours before attempting it again. Adding to histest failure, it was his tenth failure and destroyed 10 corpses, leaving him with three more level 1 supreme-ranked beast corpses signifying he could still refine the corpses three more times without going out. If he failed the remaining three times, he would have no choice but to enter the wilderness to kill more level 1 supreme-ranked beasts or monsters. ¡®However, if my guess is right, I will surely seed in the next two or three attempts.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo was analyzing his progress in refining the corpses into undead beings. Therefore he was confident. ¡®Knock¡¯ ¡°Sir Leo, the ming Lion King is calling you.¡± As Leo was taking his one-hour break after he failed in the refining process, he heard a knock followed by a rank 9 ming lion¡¯s respectful words. During the past few days, the lion cub, who was not permitted out of the territory, roamed around the Emberfields and made Leo famous. Lionel said how Leo killed so many rank 9 water spiders and spider captains in front of the spider generals and how he escaped right in front of Spider Queen¡¯s eyes. The lion cub didn¡¯t miss anything he had witnessed while he stayed outside with Leo, and he even added a few more things to his stories to spice it up, and the result was their admiration towards Leo. ¡®These ming lions respect me more than before I fought with meta-wed vultures. It looks like these ming lions hate metal-wed vultures to the core.¡¯ Leo waspletely oblivious of Lionel¡¯s actions and thought the reason behind their respect was because he killed the metal-wed vultures. ¡®I wonder why he is calling me now. Is he going to reward me with something else now?¡¯ It¡¯s been a day since he cooped inside his den to refine the corpses into undead beings. So, he decided to take a walkout. At the same time, he was curious about why the ming Lion King was calling him suddenly and expected to get rewarded again. ¡­. ¡°Sir Fury, you called me?¡± Leo was respectful as he asked the ming Lion King. ¡°Yes. I have two reasons for calling you today. One is to thank you for protecting my son properly.¡± For thest few days, the ming Lion King was busy taking care of the aftermath of Minister Ren¡¯s actions. Finally, hepleted those things and decided to thank Leo properly. ¡°Thank you very much for protecting my son. I hope you ept this reward.¡± While thanking Leo, a bright-red coloured fruit appeared on Fury¡¯s paw as he gave it to Leo. ¡®An innate fire elemental fruit?¡¯ Leo instantly recognized the fruit because it was not his first time seeing it. Previously, he bought the same fruit in the [Treasure Land], and after consuming it, his normal talent [Combustion] turned into a special talent [Mighty Combustion]. Leo didn¡¯t reject it; instead, he directly epted it. ¡°It is not a normal innate fire elemental fruit but a Supreme innate fire elemental fruit.¡± Leo¡¯s reaction was within Fury¡¯s expectations. So, he corrected Leo and informed the correct name of the fruit. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was surprised and hurriedly checked the information. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. Item Grade: Supreme Grade. Use: Consuming this fruit will help the consumer¡¯s fire talent, whether it is a normal or a special talent, reach its full potential in level 9. Special Effect: There is a 50 percent chance of mutation for that talent. More Information: One of the four fruits that are avable in Beas. ¡®What? A supreme grade fruit?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised with such a valuable gift and thought, ¡®As expected of the King of the Beas, he is very generous with the rewards.¡¯ At the same time, he noted down the ¡®More information on the holographic screen. ¡°Thank you, Sir Fury.¡± Soon, Leo thanked the ming lion king and asked, ¡°What is the other reason for calling me here, Sir Fury?¡± ¡°It is about your fellow humans.¡± ***** Liking the story?

One was to thank him properly with Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. As for the second reason, Leo was curious about it and asked Fury. ¡°It is about your fellow humans.¡± Fury hesitated a little before giving his second reason. ¡°Fellow humans?¡± Leo raised his brows and thought, ¡®Is he talking about the wild humans in the Beas.¡¯ Even though Leo had not met any humans in the Beas, he was sure some were living in this world. Since they were not the natives of the Beas, they were considered wild humans or monsters by the natives. Nevertheless, the ming Lion King didn¡¯t call them wild humans or monsters in front of Leo. ¡°Yes. I know someone enved your fellow humans.¡±-. Fury nodded as he continued, ¡°Even though I am not good at removing the enving seals, I can help you take revenge by killing the one who enved them.¡± Even though Fury didn¡¯t know how Leo could escape from the enving marker when the most powerful wild human could not escape, he wanted to help Leo. This was another favour the ming lion king was willing to do for Leo. ¡®What? Someone enved the humans in this world?¡¯ On the other hand, Leo was shocked when he heard Fury¡¯s words because he didn¡¯t expect that. ¡®Huh? Why does he look so surprised?¡¯ Seeing the shocked look on Leo¡¯s face, the ming Lion King frowned. It was a known fact among the four bestial rulers that the wild humans in this world were also ves. He thought every wild human was enved until he met Leo, who had clear eyes, unlike the other wild humans he had previously encountered. ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Fury realized something and asked, ¡°Human, do you not belong to the ¡®Human Territory in the Wilderness?¡± Other than the Ogre¡¯s territory and the Marsnds in the Wilderness of the Beas, there were two more territories. They are the Human territory where human¡¯s residing and the Naga territory that Nether Nagas upied. After seeing the shocked look on Leo¡¯s face, Fury realized that Leo might not belong to the Human territory. So, he asked Leo about it. ¡°I am not part of them, and I arrived in this world five days back before getting captured by the Spider Queen.¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo briefly said about his origins. ¡°So, you are from a gradeless world, and you stumbled upon a treasure that teleported you to this world?¡± Fury was surprised to hear Leo¡¯s story and asked, ¡°Did you figure out a way back to your world?¡± ¡°ording to the treasure that teleported me to this world, I will be teleported back in three weeks, in which I already spent five days in this world, leaving me with 16 days.¡± Even though he could tell the ming Lion King was kind and generous, he didn¡¯t reveal about the system; instead, he informed him that a treasure temporarily allowed him to stay in the Beas. ¡°It looks like your world¡¯s assessment is near. That¡¯s why your world¡¯s human gods chose you to send you to a grade 1 world like Beas to increase your strength.¡± Furyughed a little and said, ¡°Since you don¡¯t belong to the Human territory of the Beas, I will change my favour. For the next 15 days, I will help you and make you as strong as powerful.¡± ¡®Human gods chose me?¡¯ On the other hand, Leo was trying to digest Fury¡¯s words because, as far as Leo knows, there were no human gods overlooking the human world. Other than the [God Ruins] and some [Treasure Lands], the otherworldly beings that descended onto the human world had long left, leaving no connection with the world. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Sir Fury. You have already helped me a lot.¡± Even though the ming Lion King¡¯s offer was tempting, Leo kindly rejected it because he didn¡¯t need any help increasing his strength. Moreover, he already felt he had received more than enough from Fury. A God Stone and a Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. Even if any one of these two items appeared in his world, it would shake all the city leaders and supreme-ranked beings in his world. ¡°¡­¡± Fury didn¡¯t expect Leo to reject his offer. However, he was not offended; instead, his impression of Leo increased to another level. ording to what he knew, humans were the greediest race he had ever encountered in his life that would not be content with what they had. However, Leo rejected such a huge offer without any hesitation. ¡°How about this? Since you seem to have multiple talents, I will help you get another Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.¡± Fury didn¡¯t wait for Leo to say anything as he continued, ¡°It will be of Earth Element that can upgrade your level 9 talent to the peak level 9 in an instant along with a 50 percent probability of mutation in that talent.¡± ¡°A Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit?¡± Leo wanted to reject it; however, when he heard it was an Earth Elemental Fruit, he thought about his talent [Earth Maniption]. In the starting stages, Leo had relied a lot on the [Earth Maniption] to survive, and he knew he could do much more if it got mutated or became a supreme ss talent. ¡®Even though a Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit can¡¯t upgrade a level 9 talent to supreme ss, it would fill all the potential in level 9. So if Iplete the requirements, I can safely upgrade it.¡¯ After learning about the upgrade requirements for the talent to be a supreme ss talent through his [Call of the Undead] talent, Leo was curious about the upgrade requirements for the [Earth Maniption]. ¡®The sooner I learn about those requirements, the sooner I can upgrade it to the supreme ss.¡¯ With this thought in mind, Leo decided to ept onest item from Fury. ¡°So, Shall we visit the Zephyr Mountains?¡± As soon as Leo agreed, Fury asked Leo with a light chuckle. ¡®Huh? A Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit is in the territory of Zephyr Gaint Eagle King¡¯s territory?¡¯ ***** Liking the story?

A Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit is in the territory of Zephyr Gaint Eagle King¡¯s territory?¡¯ Leo was surprised to hear the location of the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. Even though Zephyr Gaint Eagle King¡¯s territory is filled with mountains, the fruit is useless to the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King and the Zephyr Eagles. ording to what Leo knew about the four main regions of the Beas, they were filled with the natural treasures of a respective element. ¡°That¡¯s right! Even though the Zephyr mountains are filled with wind, it also has fertilends to produce Earth elemental natural resources.¡± Fury exined after seeing a surprised look on Leo¡¯s face and said, ¡°So, shall we enter the Zephyr Mountains?¡± Leo nodded his head in understanding and replied, ¡°Sir Fury, if you don¡¯t mind, can we enter after tomorrow? I will use this Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit first.¡± Even though a Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit was a good treasure, Leo wanted to fulfill the requirements for his [Call of the Undead]. ¡®If I fail the corpse refining three more times, I can collect more level 1 supreme-ranked beast corpses when visiting the Zephyr Mountains.¡¯ No matter how confident Leo was, the refinement of a supreme-ranked beast corpse was hard, and he might not seed. He didn¡¯t want to move back and forth for more corpses. Hence, he decided to go to Zephyr Mountains tomorrow.-. ¡°No problem.¡± The ming Lion King didn¡¯t think much and agreed to Leo¡¯s request. ¡°I will go back and consume this fruit.¡± Soon, Leo went back to his den. ¡®It¡¯s still not one hour. I think I should really consume the fruit.¡¯ Leo used consuming the fruit as an excuse to dy their visit to the Zephyr Mountains; however, after returning to his den, he still had notpleted the cooldown of one hour for the corpse refinement. ¡®System, show me all the talents rted to the fire element.¡¯ Even though he already had the talent to upgrade using the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit, he wanted to see all the options before making a final decision. ¡®Ding, Fire Elemental Talents. 1) Mighty Combustion, (level 9), Potential (5/100). 2) Heavenly ming Lion Transformation, (level 9), Potential (11/100). 3) Heavenly Fire Purgatory, (level 1), Potential (1 /100). 4) Fire Healing, (level 8), Potential (1/100). 5) Sunfire Bolts, (level 8), Potential (1/100). Soon, a list of talents appeared in front of Leo. Even though the system was currently under upgrade, it could still do some basic things that were notplex. ¡®In the 20 plus talents I have, there are five talents that were rted to the fire element. Among them, there are special types of talents, not bad.¡¯ The first three talents in the list were special talents that were not upgraded by the regr upgrade stones or innate elemental fruits; however, they could be upgraded by special upgrade stones and supreme innate elemental fruits. ¡®Since it is a supreme innate elemental fruit, there is no need to waste it on the normal talents.¡¯ After the first round of elimination, he was left with three special talents. ¡®Even with the help of the [Talent Promoter], I can¡¯t upgrade the newly awakened talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] to level 9 any time soon.¡¯ ¡®Even though the [Mighty Combustion] is a powerful talent that already allows me to kill level 1 supreme-ranked beings easily, it has a cooldown.¡¯ After thinking for some time, Leo eliminated the two special talents and focused his gaze on thest special talent that was left on the list. ¡®However, if I can upgrade the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] to the supreme ss sooner, I will have a whole new set of talents and skills that could be upgraded to the supreme ss along with it.¡¯ What Leo thought was right! If [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] could be upgraded to supreme ss, he could transform into a supreme rank ming lion. All the skills and talents that Leo could use while he was in that form would naturally upgrade to supreme ss. Therefore, even though it had 6 percent more potential than [Mighty Combustion], Leo decided to use the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit on his [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. ¡®I hope it can mutate and be even more powerful.¡¯ The talent was already powerful; however, since there is a 50 percent chance of mutation other than the increase in the potential of the talent, Leo was hoping it would mutate. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Leo consumed the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit without wasting any time in a few bites as pure fire energy entered his body. ¡®Ding, The host has consumed a Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. Please select the talent you want to upgrade using its energy. [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation]. Without any hesitation, he chose the talent he wanted to upgrade. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Soon, Leo felt like someone had started a fire in his body that started burning from inside. ¡®Aargh¡¯ After a few seconds, the scorching pain inside his body became even more painful as he could not help but let out a groan. Time continued to pass, and more than 12 hours passed by in a sh; however, Leo still didn¡¯t absorb all the energy from the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. ¡®Huf¡­huf¡¯ Leo¡¯s breathing became erratic as he endured the pain while thinking, ¡®How long do I have to endure it?¡¯ Previously when he consumed the normal innate elemental fruits, it only took an hour or so. Even though he already expected that the absorption time for absorbing the energy from a Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit would take more than a couple of hours, he didn¡¯t expect it would take more than 12 hours. Actually, Leo lost track of time only after a few minutes of eating the fruit; however, he checked the time with the system and learned it¡¯d been more than 12 hours since he consumed that fruit. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully absorbing all the energy from the Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. ¡®Ding, The special talent has sessfully reached level 9 (potential: 100/100), and at the same time, the talent has been mutated. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 197 Second Peak level 9 Talent ¡®Phew¡­finally, it¡¯s done.¡¯ The system notifications that Leo had been waiting for rang in his head, making him heave a sigh of relief. Compared to the excitement that his talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] had mutated, Leo was relieved that the scorching pain inside his body had disappeared. During thest twelve hours, Leo felt like he was in hell. So, he was greatly relieved with the disappearance of that scorching pain. ¡®Huf Huf Leo focused on his breathing first and adjusted it before checking the newly mutated talent. ¡®Let¡¯s see what is mutated into.¡¯ The special talent [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation] was already so powerful. So, Leo was curious about the changes. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation. Talent Type: Rare Special Talent. Effect: The user can transform into a Heavenly ming Lion King for one hour with a cooldown of 30 minutes. Note: Even the ming lions with multiple levels higher than the user would be suppressed in the presence of the Heavenly ming Lion King. Talent level: Level 9 (Potential: 100/100).-. ¡®Huh? Heavenly ming Lion King?¡¯ After the mutation of the talent, Leo could transform into a Heavenly ming Lion King, where he could gain more dominance over the other ming Lions. ¡®Even though I don¡¯t know how powerful this mutated talent will bepared to the [Heavenly ming Lion Transformation], it would be much better than the previous one for sure.¡¯ Leo silently thought to himself as he waited for more system notifications. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] has reached the peak level 9. ¡®Ding, Please fulfill the following requirements to upgrade it into a Supreme ss Talent. 1) One special upgrade stone or Three advanced upgrade stones. 2) Make at least one rank 9 follower from three different Lion Tribes (0/3). 3) Raise your fame in the Lion-type beasts (500000/100000). Within no time, two system notifications rang in his head as a holographic screen filled with upgrade requirements appeared in front of him. ¡®I alreadypleted one requirement, and I canplete another requirement anytime I want.¡¯ Reading the three upgrade requirements, Leo was pleasantly surprised. A special upgrade stone was lying around in his storage ring, and Leo could use it without any problem. As for the fame, Leo¡¯s poprity among the rank 4 to 9 ming lions shot to the peak overnight because of the Lion Cub. ¡®But I still can¡¯t believe my fame is over five hundred thousand among the ming lions.¡¯ Currently, there was only one lion tribe here, and his entire fame came from it without a doubt. But, on the other hand, there might be around six or seven hundred thousand ming lions. Hence, Leo was surprised that he was popr among 90 percent of the entire ming Lion race in the Beas. ¡®Now, I just need to get three Lion-type beast followers.¡¯ Looking at the second upgrade requirement, Leo thought, ¡®I think I can get the followers from the ming lion race if I transform into a Heavenly ming Lion King, leaving me with two more beast followers.¡¯ ¡®As for the remaining two followers, taming them won¡¯t be a problem; however, the problem will be finding them.¡¯ For some reason, Leo could tell there were no other lion tribes other than ming Lions. So, he must wait until he returns to his world to find the lion-type monsters in the Uncleared Lands. ¡®I can do it. If I find them, I will have my second supreme ss talent.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile as he slept on the ground. Even though he still had the corpse refining to do, Leo was tired from enduring the scorching pain for thest 13 hours. So, he decided to rest for a few hours before refining. ¡­ Next day morning, ¡°Is it because of the mutated talent? I am feeling a lot more active than before?¡± Leo woke with clear eyes in the morning and felt physically very active. ¡°Let¡¯s try the corpse refining now.¡± Besides feeling physically active, Leo was in a good mood and thought he might seed in refining the corpse in the first attempt today. [Call of the Undead] Soon, he ced his hand on the corpse and activated his talent to start the refinement process. ¡­ ¡®Sister, can you think of something else? We are just wasting our time by standing here.¡¯ ¡®Stop whining; I am waiting for my [Prophecy] talent toe out of the cool down so I can use it again before nning our next move. I can use that talent in a couple of hours. So, bear with it.¡¯ ¡®Okay¡¯ On a mountain, a few kilometers away from the Emberfields, the sister and brother duo had been looking into the Emberfields for thest two days. They were frustrated that Leo cooped up inside his den the entire time except for one time. Nevertheless, Aurora was waiting for her talent toe out of the cooldown to use it. After checking the Prophecy, she could n her next actions, and that¡¯s how she and her little brother survived for thest decade. Of course, her other talent [Perfect Camouge] was also the reason for their survival in the wilderness during thest decade. Time continued to pass, and two hours passed by in a sh. ¡°Arlo, protect me.¡± As soon as her talent came out of the cooldown, her [Perfect Camauge] was deactivated as she asked her brother to protect her/ [Prophecy] Aurora didn¡¯t wait for her brother¡¯s reply and directly used her talent to look into the future. ¡°Arlo, I can see the hope for our Starlight people.¡± After a few minutes, Aurora opened her eyes with great excitement and informed her brother. ¡°What?¡± Arlo was shocked, and soon, he was also excited. ¡°Before that, we need to do something.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°We need to sneak into the treasury again.¡± Aurora¡¯s face became serious, and soon, they stopped observing Leo and started working on something important. ¡­.. In one of the Emberfields¡¯ dens, ¡®I can finish it.¡¯ There was a serious look on Leo¡¯s face as the violent movements of the floating corpse in front of him became less violent before staying still. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfully refined a corpse into an undead being. ¡®Finally, I did it.¡¯ Leo became excited when he heard the system notification. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 198 [Bonus Chapter] Successful Refinement ¡®Finally, I did it.¡¯ Leo fell to the ground as he looked at the level 1 supreme-ranked undead metal-wed vulture standing in front of him, waiting for his order. ¡®I think taking a break of nearly 24 hours helped me sessfully refine the corpse.¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first corpse refinement after waking up today, and it took him a little more than three hours to finish it. Before he could start the corpse refinement, Leo already felt that he would seed in the first attempt, and just like he guessed, he seeded. ¡®I think I was rushing things with the corpse refinement.¡¯ Finally, Leo understood why he was repeatedly failing despite doing everything right. It was just that he needed a good rest between the corpse refinements; however, he assumed one hour was enough time to rest because of the system. ¡®I need to put more effort into thinking.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t me the system for his failure because the system only said about the cooldown of the [Call of the Undead- corpse refinement] being an hour. However, he forgot that he was refining the supreme-ranked beast corpses, which were different from the corpses he had refined before. Nevertheless, he decided to think more before following the system¡¯s words. ¡®Ding,-. Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining a level 1 supreme-ranked beast corpse. ¡®Ding, The system detected that the host¡¯s connection with the newly refined undead being was not stable. ¡®Ding, Please sever the connection with the host¡¯s other undead beings to gain full control over the supreme-ranked undead being. As Leo was waiting for the upgrade notifications for the [Call of the Undead], he received the system notifications for a different thing, making him frown a bit disappointed. ¡®Huh? Sever the connection with the other undead beings? All of them?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw those system notifications; however, he didn¡¯t think much and decided to sever his connection with the other undead beings still farming for [Promote Points] in the Solitary Forest. For a level 9 human hero, controlling a supreme-ranked undead being was already an achievement. So, he didn¡¯t hesitate to sever the connection with the low-level undead beings. ¡®I can raise my supreme-ranked undead beasts and monsters after the [Call of the Undead] is upgraded to the supreme ss.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s head. ¡®Ding, The host can keep one rank 9 undead being along with the level 1 supreme-ranked undead beast. Leo started severing his connection with rank 7 and rank 8 undead beings. Just when he was about to sever his connection with the rank 9 undead beings, he received a system notification, making him reveal a slight smile. ¡®I will keep the Ancient Goliath King then.¡¯ Among his 10 rank 9 undead beings, the Ancient Goliath King was the strongest one who easily killed the Frost Devil in the [Treasure Land]. Also, he had a special connection with that undead being because it was the first rank 9 beast corpse he refined into an undead being. To kill him, Leo had formed a team with two shadow vampires, Dominic, and 19 more young heroes who became rank 7 heroes recently then. After that, Leo didn¡¯t struggle much in corpse refinement of the rank 9 beings because his Ancient Goliath King took care of his problems. ¡®If only I could upgrade his strength to supreme rank, I would have kept him with me forever.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself as he severed his connection with the remaining rank 9 undead beings. ¡®Ding, The connection between the host and the level 1 supreme-ranked undead being has strengthened. ¡®Ding, Requirements for [Call of the Undead] to be a supreme ss talent have beenpleted. 1) Raise at least ten undead beings with rank 9 strength, (Completed). 2) Use the talent for an entire day, (Completed). 3) Raise at least one undead supreme-ranked being, (Completed). ¡®Ding, Do you want to upgrade the [Call of the Undead] to the Supreme ss? Leo received a series of system notifications as soon as he severed the connection with the undead beings except for the Ancient Goliath King, making him clench his fist in excitement. ¡®Yes.¡¯ Why would he not agree to upgrade the talent? He had been working on it for thest few days. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to nod at thest system notification. ¡®Ding, Upgrading the special talent [Call of the Undead] to Supreme ss. ¡®Ding, The system detected a problem¡­Error¡­Error. ¡®Ding, The system detected an inner demon inside the host¡¯s body. Please clear that inner demon for a safe ascension to the supreme rank. ¡®What? An inner demon?¡¯ As Leo was waiting for the good news about his upgrade, he received the bad news that made him frown. Leo knew what an inner demon was. It was something that was formed inside a Human hero or a Beast hero who was obsessing or struggling with something. They were not noticed until they were formed in your heart, and Leo was the same. He didn¡¯t have a single clue that he had an inner demon in his heart all along. ¡®What am I obsessed with? Is it because of my revenge on the City Leader Theodore?¡¯ Leo started thinking about it and found the reason for his inner demon within no time. Even though he struggled with the Forbidden Curse, Leo was not at all bothered with it as he knew it would be dissolved when he became a Supreme hero. On the other hand, even though Leo didn¡¯t show his obsession for revenge much, he could not wait to kill the City Leader Theodore for killing his adoptive parents and making him suffer so much as an enved person for the manticores. ¡®Ding, An inner demon is rted to the host¡¯s revenge. Therefore, pleaseplete the revenge and clear the inner demon in the host¡¯s heart. ¡®I knew I could finish the revenge after bing a supreme-rank hero; however, my obsession might be overpowering that thought.¡¯ After seeing the system notification, Leo could not help but shake his head in disappointment. ¡®It looks like I have to dy my ascension for a few more days.¡¯ Since his own obsession was stopping him from bing a supreme-rank hero, there was nothing much for Leo to do other than clearing that obsession bypleting his revenge. ¡®Anyway, it¡¯s just 15 days in the Beas and only five days in the human world.¡¯ Leo had been waiting to take revenge for his adoptive parents for thest 10 years. So, waiting for another 15 days was nothing for Leo. He was not worried about failing to take revenge because he now had a level 6 supreme rank beast hero as his follower. ¡®Moreover, I can kill the level 1 supreme rank heroes without any problem.¡¯ Theodore was a level 1 supreme rank hero. So, even without the help of the Terra Bull Tyrant, Leo was confident in taking his revenge. However, having someone like Terra Bull Tyrant beside him would stop him from worrying about unnecessary things. ¡°Since I dyed the visit to the Zephyr Mountains, I better go now.¡± Soon, Leo left his den and visited the ming Lion King before they travelled to the Zephyr Mountains. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 199 Learning about Enslaved Humans in the Beastnet ¡°Sir Fury, can you tell me about the humans in this world?¡± While Leo and Fury were travelling to Zephyr Mountains, Leo thought about the enved humans that the ming Lion King had mentioned yesterday. Leo was itching to free them as someone who hates controlling others¡¯ lives through the ve seal. However, it was not his gradeless world; instead, it was a grade 1 world where the strength of the humans would also be great. Therefore, Leo wanted to collect more information about the humans in the Beas before deciding what he could do for them. ¡®I wonder what level of ve seals were inscribed on them.¡¯ At the same time, he wondered about the level of the enved seals inscribed on the bodies of the humans. If it is level 2 enved seals, Leo could help them by devouring those seals with his [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ¡°The wild humans had a decent strength and even managed to mark their territory in the wilderness; however, I don¡¯t know exactly when, but they looked like they were hypnotized.¡± Fury was not surprised that Leo asked about the wild humans in the Beas as he briefly informed him what he knew about the humans. ¡°At first, I thought the spider queen was behind it; however, when a few humans tried to ambush a group of ming lions but got killed by my subordinates, I saw ve seals on their bodies.-. That¡¯s when I understood they were being controlled through the ¡®Soul suppressing ve seals¡¯ because the wild humans will never dare to attack the ming lions as they already know the consequences of offending me.¡± ¡°Soul suppressing ve seal?¡± Leo frowned because it was the cruellest ve seal he had ever seen, and his determination to help the wild humans increased even more. ¡°Do you know the level of those seals?¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo asked Fury about the level of the seal he had seen on those bodies. The highest soul-suppressing ve seal he had seen was on the Moonlight Unicorn he bought in the auction. It was a level 7 seal which he currently didn¡¯t have the ability to break. However, it doesn¡¯t mean the humans in this world would be inscribed with the same level of soul-suppressing ve seal. ¡°The lowest level of ve seal I saw was Level 4, and the highest was level 6; however, the bodies brought by my subordinates belonged to rank 7 to 9 human heroes.¡± Fury thought for a moment and replied to Leo. ¡°The ve seals were already so powerful on rank 7 to 9 human heroes, and I wonder what level of ve seals were inscribed on the supreme-ranked humans.¡± After hearing Fury¡¯s reply, Leo raised his brows and thought about the ve seals on the supreme-ranked human heroes. Since the wild humans of this world could secure territory for themselves in the wilderness, it tells him how powerful they were. If the ve Marker inscribed level 4 to 6 ve seals on rank 7 to 9 human heroes, it would be not a surprise if he marked a level 9 ve seal or even higher level ve seals on the supreme rank heroes. ¡°Are you nning to help them?¡± Seeing Leo¡¯s eyes that were filled with determination, Fury could guess that Leo wanted to help his fellow humans. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded because it was his weakness to see the enved beings. If it were a human, a beast, or a monster, Leo would help them without any hesitation. ¡°Sigh¡­even I hate those b*stards that enve others to do their bidding.¡± Fury sighed as he continued, ¡°However, that b*stard is quite intelligent and never shows himself. I don¡¯t even know how that b*stard looks. With his cowardly behaviour, killing him and freeing the humans is impossible unless you are nning to kill these enved humans.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sir Fury. I have other ways to help. However, I need to wait for another six days.¡± Even though killing the ve Marker would free all the enved beings under him, there were other ways to free them. One of which was by using Leo¡¯s ability [Seal Swallowing Ability]. For that, he doesn¡¯t have to kill the ve Marker and quietly finish his work. However, the problem is that Leo¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] was only at level 2, allowing him to swallow level 1 and 2 seals; however, the lowest ve seal inscribed on the wild human was level 4. Nevertheless, Leo was putting his hopes on the System Upgrade, which would bepleted in the next six days. ¡®I really hope there will be some changes in the [Seal Swallowing Ability] along with the [Talent Swallowing Ability].¡¯ After the system upgrades, Leo was confident in the changes of the already existing abilities along with a new ability. So, he was putting his hopes on it. ¡°Huh? Other ways?¡± Fury raised his brows and curiously asked, ¡°Do you mean you have a way to break those ve seals?¡± ¡°Yes. But I need to wait for six days before trying it out.¡± Leo didn¡¯t exin much about his [ve Swallowing Ability] as he was still not sure what kind of changes would happen to that ability. Therefore, he decided to wait for six days before speaking about it. ¡°Okay.¡± Fury could tell Leo was ufortable sharing his method to break the ve seals. So, he didn¡¯t bother him much and nodded his head. ¡°However, if you need any help in capturing the wild humans, you don¡¯t have to hesitate to ask me.¡± They need to stay still to remove or break the ve seal from an enved person. Even though Leo could kill level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beings, it might be difficult for him to both suppress them and break the ve seal from the humans. Moreover, the human territory is guarded by many supreme-ranked humans who would fight to the death. Since Leo didn¡¯t intend to kill the humans, he would be at a great disadvantage. Therefore, Fury said he would help Leo if he needed help capturing the humans. ¡°Thank you, Sir Fury. I will not hesitate then.¡± Leo agreed to take Fury¡¯s help with a slight smile. Even though he didn¡¯t like to take more and more favour from the ming Lion King, he needed his help if he wanted to save at least a few humans, if not all. ¡®If I am lucky, I might be able to remove the ve seal on my body too and break free from the forbidden curse.¡¯ Besides helping the wild humans of the Beas in freeing them from their ve seals, Leo had another reason to help them. If he could consume more ve seals, he could upgrade his [Talent Swallowing Ability], and if it reached level 6, he could swallow the level 6 ve seal on his body. ¡°Amidst our talk, we have already reached the Zephyr Mountains.¡± For the entire time, the ming Lion King was running towards the Zephyr mountains while Leo flew while his [Wyvern Wings] beside him. After travelling for an hour, they reached a region filled with mountains. ¡®Screech¡¯ ¡°Sir Fury, what brings you to my territory?¡± In the next second, a loud screech resounded in the mountains as a huge Zephyr eaglended in front of them. ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 200 Zephyr Gaint Eagle King On the tallest mountain in the Zephyr Mountains region, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King, the ming Lion, and Leo stood facing each other. The Zephyr Gaint Eagle King was huge with sharp ws and beak. The wingspan of the Eagle King would be more than 20 meters in length. ¡°You want the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit?¡± After Fury exined the reason for his visit, Riseth looked at Leo and asked, ¡°Is it for this wild human?¡± Since the ming Lion King was a fire-type beast hero, he could not use the earth-type treasure like Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. Hence, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King could guess it must be for the Leo who protected the Heir. ¡°Yes.¡± Fury nodded and said, ¡°Since you dare to kidnap my son, why don¡¯t you apologize to me properly?¡± ¡°I¡­I¡­apologize for doing such a thing. It was because of the Spider Queen who cast her spell and the Terra Bull Tyrant who forced me to join in their n.¡± Riseth didn¡¯t dare to make the ming Lion King request the fruit for the second time as he directly apologized and ordered one of the Eagle Generals to bring the fruit. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡°What did you say?¡±-. Suddenly, the Terra Bull Tyrant came out of the Beast Storage Device and scoffed at Riseth. ¡°Sutin¡­how did you¡­where did youe from?¡± Riseth was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°He had told everything about who orchestrated the kidnap of my son.¡± Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant looked evil, it was only his appearance. Other than his strong body, he was just a dumb-headed bull that was used by the two other bestial rulers. ¡°Anyway, since you have already apologized, I will let you slide it this time; however, if you repeat it, I don¡¯t mind erasing your entire race.¡± Currently, Fury might be bound by an oath; however, the moment any of these bestial rulers try something funny, he would no longer be bound by it. At that time, there would be a massacre of an entire race. ¡°Thank you, Fury. I will no longer sway by the Spider Queen¡¯s words and focus on increasing my strength for the next world assessment.¡± Riseth hurriedly thanked Fury and promised not to try what he did once again. He knew the only reason Fury had been patient with them for thest couple of decades was the word assessment. With more powerful beast heroes, the easier the world assessment will be. ¡°As long as you know it, it¡¯s good.¡± Fury nodded; however, he didn¡¯t believe those wordspletely and decided to keep an eye on the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King. ¡°As a token of my apology, I will give you this Fragment of God Stone and Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit along with the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit.¡± Seeing the doubtful look in ming Lion King¡¯s eyes, Zephyr Gaint Eagle King offered two more items to the ming Lion King as a token of apology. Even without any exnation, one could tell that the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit was for Leo since Fury could not use that fruit either. As for the Fragment of the God Stone, even though it is useless for the ming Lion King, he could give it to his son, who could use it to be a rank 8 beast hero in no time. ¡°Leo, take them.¡± Fury didn¡¯t take them; instead, he asked Leo to take them. ¡°Yes, Sir Fury.¡± Leo was not surprised that Riseth was trying very hard to be as humble as possible in front of the ming Lion King. With a calm look, Leo stepped forward and took two fruits along with the fragment of the God Stone. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Since they got what they came for, there was no longer a need to waste their time in the Zephyr Mountains. So, Fury, Leo, and Sutin left the Zephyr Mountains. ¡®This b*stard has be even more arrogant from thest time.¡¯ Seeing the disappearing silhouettes of Fury and others, Riseth cursed Fury for entering his territory and asking for the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. ¡®However, he is too powerful for anyone from this world to take him down.¡¯ The Zephyr Gaint Eagle King sighed and thought, ¡®If only I became the chosen one of the four bestial gods, I would have visited the other worlds before the grade 1 world assessment, and I would have been the Unofficial King of the Beas.¡¯ Before the first world assessment of the Beas, the four bestial gods of the Beas chose the ming Lion King and sent him to a grade 1 world to train. And everyone believed the reason behind the ming Lion King¡¯s strength was his training in the grade 1 world; however, no one knows how many trials and tribtions he had to cross in that grade 1 world with a strength of level 1 supreme-ranked beast hero. Therefore, whenever Fury looked at Leo, he saw himself, and he was even willing to offer his help to Leo in bing strong. Nevertheless,pared to his past self, Leo was doing much better in the Beas with only the strength of the rank 9 human hero. ¡­. ¡°Leo, do you have any Wind-elemental talent? If so, you can use it since there is no way anyone in my ming lion race could use it.¡± While returning to Emberfields, Fury suggested Leo use the Supreme Innate Wind and Earth Elemental Fruits. ¡°¡­¡± Leo remained silent because he didn¡¯t want to say. Leo didn¡¯t have any pure wind-rted talents; however, that doesn¡¯t mean he would not awaken them in theing days. However, Leo can¡¯t say that to Fury. ¡°I will make good use of it.¡± After thinking for a moment, he decided to be shameless and take another gift from Fury as he promised to make good use of it. Since he knew that fruit would be useless in the ws of the ming Lion King as no one could use it to upgrade or mutate their talents with it. ¡°Since you have multiple talents, why don¡¯t you use the ¡®God of Fragment¡¯ to upgrade them.¡± Soon after, Fury also offered the fragment of the God Stone to Leo, giving Leo another surprise. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was surprised as he looked at the ming Lion King. ¡°What? You don¡¯t want it?¡± Fury chuckled a little, and before Leo could say anything, he continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to, just forget that I offered it to you.¡± ¡°I want it.¡± Since he had already decided to be shameless, Leo took the fragment of the God Stone. The thing is, Leo was not in a position to reject items like God Stone, the Fragment of the God Stone of the Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits. With his [Talent Swallowing Ability] and [Absolute Devour], Leo could have various talents; however, these items would help him get the talents he needed faster, mutate them, and upgrade them. So, when ites to those items, Leo didn¡¯t mind bing shameless and took them without hesitation. ¡®I wonder why he is being so generous to me? Is it really for protecting his son?¡¯ Leo wondered about it. ¡°Do you want to know why I am giving you all these items?¡± Suddenly, Fury asked Leo with a slight smile. ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 201 [Bonus Chapter] Pointers ¡°Yes.¡± Leo was also curious about it. Even though he had protected Lionel, Fury had already rewarded him with a God Stone and a Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. Other than these two valuable items, Fury offered he would help Leo in his training in the wilderness of the Beas. When Leo rejected that offer, Fury changed his offer to helping Leo get a Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. Now, Fury was giving away the Fragment of the God Stone and a Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, making him curious about Fury¡¯s generosity. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand that I am being magnanimous and giving away all the treasures for free. But, instead, I am investing in you.¡± ¡°Investing in me?¡±-. However, Leo was confused when he heard Fury¡¯s exnation for giving away such valuable items. ¡°Yes. Since you are the chosen one from your gradeless world, you can help me with something.¡± Fury didn¡¯t wait for Leo to reply anything as he continued, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about my request. It will be simple and easy for you as long as your world survives its assessment.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Leo didn¡¯t understand what the ming Lion King wanted from him. Moreover, there were no human gods in his world, and he entered the Beas with the help of the Ticket rewarded by the system. However, since the other party said it would be simple and easy, he replied, ¡°As long as it doesn¡¯t conflict with my principles, I will try my best to help you, Sir Fury.¡± Even though he was shameless in epting the valuable items from Fury, he was not the type to repay the kindness with evil. Therefore, he promised to help Fury if it was within his capabilities and didn¡¯t conflict with his principles. ¡°Another reason I am helping you right now is that I see my past self in you.¡± Seeing that Leo promised to help him, the ming Lion King chuckled and continued, ¡°Back then, even though I was a level 1 supreme rank beast hero, I am not as powerful as you. However, without anyone¡¯s help in that grade 1 world, I could barely survive in it. Therefore, after returning to the Beas, I contributed a lot towards the grade 1 world assessment of the Beas before reaching this state.¡± Fury reminisced about his past and muttered, ¡®If only there was someone who helped me in the grade 1 world I visited to train, there would have been far fewer losses for the Beas.¡¯ Even though the Beas sessfully passed the world assessment and became a grade 1 world, Fury was not satisfied and thought he would have done even better if he had a little support back then. Whether it was fate or whatever it¡¯s called, he met Leo, the chosen one of a gradeless world who was more capable than him, even with a less heroic rank than his old self. ¡®As long as his world passes the world assessment with a good clearance rating, I can take his help in the future.¡¯ Overall, there were multiple reasons for Fury to help Leo be as powerful as possible before Leo¡¯s world assessment starts. ¡°Huh? That means Sir Fury also visited a grade 1 world before the world assessment of the Beas?¡± This surprised Leo as he didn¡¯t expect the ming Lion King to travel to a higher-grade world. ¡°Yes. I stayed in a grade 1 world for one year before returning as a level 3 supreme rank beast hero. So, I was surprised when you said you could only stay in the Beas for 21 days. There is very little time.¡± Yesterday, Leo said he could stay in the Beas for 21 days. In which he had already spent six days, leaving him with 15 days. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Sir Fury. I increase my strength rapidly.¡± Leo had alreadypleted the upgrade requirements of the [Call of the Undead], and as long as he took care of the revenge, he would upgrade it to level 1 supreme ss. That¡¯s not the end of it. Soon after, he nned to use the level 1 Supreme Upgrade Stone to upgrade it to level 2 supreme ss. ¡®I wonder whether I can use the [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade my talents?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t forget about the [Supreme Promote Points]; however, he was unsure whether he could use them to upgrade the supreme ss talents because his [Talent Promoter] is still at level 6. Leo doubted whether he could use it if he upgraded it to level 7 or 8 or even 9. ¡®I wonder why it extracted the [Supreme Promote Points] when I can¡¯t even use it?¡¯ Leo still didn¡¯t understand; however, there was nothing he could do about it as he received those [Supreme Promote Points] by default from killing the supreme-ranked beasts. ¡°To clear the assessment, you need to have a strength of at least level 6 supreme rank human hero. However, since you have multiple talents and can kill level 2 supreme-ranked beast heroes with rank 9 strength, I think you only need to have level 4 supreme-ranked strength.¡± Fury was satisfied with Leo¡¯s confident look as he gave some pointers, ¡°However, it is better to have a strength as high as possible. Also, you¡¯re mistaken if you think you can alone clear the assessment. So, try gathering powerful heroes to assist you in clearing the world assessment.¡± ¡°I would have given more information about the world assessment; however, the world assessments arepletely different from one world to another. Just remember one thing: kill as many supreme-ranked invaders as possible with your own hands.¡± Fury continued to give a few more pointers and exaggerated the world assessment as he didn¡¯t want Leo to be overconfident and rxed. ¡°Thank you for your pointers, Sir Fury. I will keep them in mind.¡± Leo thought he had already benefited a lot, and with the pointers he received from the ming Lion King, he felt entering the Beas in a rush was worth it. ¡°Sir Fury, after hearing all the pointers, I am curious about what you need my help with in the future. Can you tell me about it?¡± After hesitation, Leo asked about it, hoping the ming Lion King would reply to him. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 202 Change of Plans In Leo¡¯s eyes, the ming Lion King was not only powerful, but he was also vastly knowledgeable about many things. Leo felt he had learned many new things in his short conversation with the ming Lion King. However, something piqued his interest, and it was the help that the ming Lion King needed from him. ¡°Don¡¯t think much about it for now. As long as your world passes the assessment, I will let you know. But, for now, focus on increasing your strength.¡± Fury didn¡¯t say what he wanted from Leo yet; instead, he asked Leo to focus on increasing his strength. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. ¡°Consume the fruits and use the Fragment of the God Stone for the next couple of days before going out to train.¡± After finishing his words, Fury returned to his usual routine in the territory: sleep. The ming Lion King has a unique ability that makes him powerful just by sleeping. Even though it was quite slow, Fury didn¡¯t mind sleeping all day for some reason.-. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo was nning to do it even if the ming Lion King didn¡¯t say that. I will sort my talents and skills after eating the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. I need to farm them as much as possible before the system finishes its upgrade.¡¯ Leo walked into his den and started nning his next few days before his system upgraded. Since he didn¡¯t have any wind-rted talent, Leo could only store the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit. ¡®The good thing about this fruit is, it has a cooldown of a month. So, I don¡¯t have to worry about the fruit losing its effect.¡¯ After confirming that it won¡¯t lose its effect, Leo stored it in his [Portable Dimensional space] before taking out the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. ¡®Earth-elemental talents.¡¯ ¡®Ding, 1) Earth Maniption (level 9), Potential (75/100). 2) Mega Terra Bull Transformation, (Level 7), Potential (10/100). 3) Earth Stomp, (Level 7), Potential (10/100). With a thought, the three earth-type talents appeared in front of him. ¡®What? The potential for [Earth Maniption] has reached 75 percent?¡¯ The moment Leo saw the potential of his level 9 talent, he was surprised because he didn¡¯t expect its potential to be that high. ¡®Last time I checked, it was less than 50 percent. Is it because of the Divine Comprehension Pill I consumed in the Solitary Forest?¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo could only think of the effect of the Divine Comprehension Pill. ¡®It is a waste to use the valuable fruit on the [Earth Maniption].¡¯ Without any hesitation, Leo eliminated the special talent because as long as he worked on it, he could increase the potential to 100 in less than 15 days. Of course, he considered the effects of the Divine Comprehension Pill in it. ¡°As for [Earth Stomp], I can either use the [Asbolute Devour] or [Talent Promoter] to upgrade it to level 9. Therefore, I only have a single talent left to upgrade; however, it is still at level 7.¡± Leo looked at [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] on the holographic screen for a moment before thinking of a n. ¡®Let¡¯s upgrade it to level 8 with the Fragment of the God Stone¡­.no¡­I will wait until the system finishes its upgrade and I swallow a special talent.¡¯ Before he could implement his n, Leo cancelled it and decided to postpone the things rted to upgrading his talents for another six days. ¡®I think I should go out again now.¡¯ Leo had arrived just now, and now, he had to go out and increase the potential for the [Earth Maniption] and the skills stuck at level 8. ¡®Everything is connected to the system¡¯s upgrade. Until then, I will farm new talents and skills while using the level 8 skills 100 times each.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo left the Emberfields and started his hunt in the wilderness. Unlike before, he was not alone this time; instead, he brought a rank 9 ming lion he met when he first entered the Emberfields. ¡­ In the Ogre¡¯s territory, ¡°Skye, do you know where I can find the wind-type wild beasts and monsters other than Zephyr Eagles? They need to have huge numbers.¡± Leo didn¡¯t start his hunt directly; instead, he asked the ming lion he bought along with him. Previously, Leo only wanted to hunt the metal-wed vultures and knew where to find them; however, he needed someone who knew where to find the type of monsters he wanted to hunt. Moreover, Lionel suggested that Skye was the most knowledgeable ming lion below the supreme-ranked ming lions. So, he decided to bring that rank 9 beast along with him. ¡°Even though there are many wind-type wild beasts in the wilderness; however, there are two races of wild beasts and one monster race that have huge numbers.¡± Skye didn¡¯t know why Leo was asking specifically about wind-type wild beasts; however, he respectfully informed about the three races of the wind-type wild beasts in the wilderness. ¡°One is Wind serpents that reside in the Naga¡¯s territory, and the other is Gale monkeys that reside in human territory.¡± Soon, he started exining the beast race and where they reside, ¡°As for the monster race, they are hurricane drakes that live between the Ogre¡¯s territory and Naga¡¯s territory.¡± ¡°Wind Serpents, Gale Monkeys and Hurricane Drakes.¡± Leo repeated his targets for the next six days and selected, ¡°Let¡¯s start with Wind Serpents.¡± There was a specific reason why he selected the Wind Serpents first, and it was because of his Arcane Silver¡¯s special skill [Snake Ancestor¡¯s Manifestation]. It¡¯s been a few days since he upgraded his weapon; however, he didn¡¯t encounter any snake-type beasts or monsters. So, while farming for a special wind-type talent, he wanted to see how powerful that skill is. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Naga¡¯s territory.¡± Soon, Skye started guiding Leo to the Naga¡¯s territory filled with all types of snakes. ***** Author¡¯s words: Do you want me to continue one BONUS chapter every day? If so, motivate the author with GIFTS (Any gift will do). Chapter 203 Wind Serpents Naga¡¯s territory is one of the four territories in the Wilderness of the Beas that was filled with all types of serpents. Since Leo had an advantage over the snake-type beasts and monsters because of his weapon skill, ¡®Ancestor Snake Manifestation¡¯, he was to use it and see how powerful it was. Soon, Leo and Skye reached a ce that was filled with violent winds. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Amidst the violent winds, a group of serpents came out of nowhere and attacked him at lightning speed. However, how could Leo let them attack him? When venturing into the wilderness, a hunter should always maintain his guard as danger mighte from any direction and in any form. [Earth Maniption ¨C Earth Hand] A considerable hand formed from earth came out of the ground and caught all the serpents that flew at him. ¡®Crush them.¡¯ With a simplemand, the earth hands crushed the serpents. ¡®Ding, The host killed eight rank 7 thunder nagas. ¡®Thunder Nagas?¡¯ Seeing the name of the serpents he killed, Leo suddenly thought of something. ¡®Should I devour these Thunder Nagas and awaken their talents and skills along with the Winder Serpents?¡¯-. It was known that the talents and skills rted to the lightning and thunder elements have high damaging power. So it was even more than the fire-rted attack-type talents and skills. So, Leo could not help but decide to farm the Thunder Nagas along with the Wind Serpents. ¡®No¡­let¡¯s focus on getting a good wind-type talent.¡¯ Even though it was good to have the lightning and thunder-type talents, Leo didn¡¯t want to divert from his primary goal. There were multiple reasons why he entered the wilderness; however, there were only three main reasons. They are: 1) To get multiple talents, especially a special wind-type talent. 2) To upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7 as Leo hoped it would help him upgrade the talents to level 9. 3) To use all the skills and talents gained through [Absolute Devour] that were stuck at level 8. As for the other reasons, they were to increase the potential of the [Earth Maniption], [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] along with farming a lot of [Promote Points]. ¡°Sir Leo, the Wind Sperents live in that canyon.¡± Skye pointed at a canyon in the distance and informed Leo about the location of the Wind Serpents. [Absolute Devour] He devoured the corpses of the Thunder Nagas and decided to enter it. ¡°However, I suggest you do not enter that canyon because the winds inside that canyon were even more violent that might tear your body apart.¡± Just as Leo took a couple of steps, the ming lion stopped him. The ming lion was shocked to see the devil¡¯s mouth on Leo¡¯s left palm; however, he suppressed his shock and hurriedly said about the violent winds in the canyon. ¡®Even though the winds in this canyon look powerful, I don¡¯t think they can do anything to me.¡¯ Leo walked to the edge and looked at the violent winds in the canyon. It was not that he was being arrogant and overconfident; instead, he felt those violent winds could not do anything to him because of his level 8 skill [Wind Resistance]. Just as he thought about entering the canyon, Leo suddenly had an idea and asked Skye, ¡°You said the Wind Serpents are greedy b*stards, right?¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Leo. Almost all the snakes in the Beas are known for their greediness. Among them, the Wind Serpents have the number one.¡± ¡°Good to know. I know how to bring them out of the canyon.¡± Even though he could kill all of the Wind Serpents below the Supreme rank with his [Mighty Combustion ¨C Radius st], he avoided it for multiple reasons. ¡®Not only the Wind Serpents will turn into ashes, but my chances to use the level 8 talents and skills will also decrease.¡¯ Therefore, he decided to lure the Wind Seperents out of the canyon. ¡®Moreover, I am at a good ce to massacre them.¡¯ Since Leo was standing above the canyon, he could easily kill the Wind Serpents that came out of the canyon. ¡°Skye, step back.¡± First, he asked the ming lion to step back and took out the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit from his [Portable Dimensional Space]. ¡®Hiss¡¯ As soon as Leo took out the fruit, he heard the hissing sounds from the canyon. ¡°If you want this Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit,e out and take it.¡± After letting the Wind Serpents sense the fruit, Leo moved away from the canyon while shouting out loud. ¡®Hiss¡¯ ¡°Bring that fruit to me.¡± An excited voice resounded in the canyon as thousands of Wind Serpents of all sizes flew out of the canyon. ¡°Sir Leo, it is the voice of the Wind Serpent King. It looks like the scent of the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit has triggered them. Be careful.¡± From behind, the ming lion hurriedly asked Leo to be careful that the King of the Wind Serpents had awakened. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a good thing?¡± To Syke¡¯s surprise, Leo revealed a cold smile as he looked at the iing Wind Serpents, whose strength varied from rank 4 to rank 9. In Leo¡¯s view, the higher the strength of the Wind Serpent, the higher his chances of getting the special talents required to upgrade [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Hiss¡¯ The average length of the Wind Serpent was around three meters long, and the sides of the serpent had something that looked like gills; however, it was from head to tail. It was because of these gills these Wind Serpents were able to fly in the air. [Earth Maniption ¨C Earthen Walls] Since he was trying to increase the potential of the [Earth Maniption], Leo used it even though it was unnecessary. Soon, the walls made up of earth rose from the ground, creating multiple paths to the canyon. Each earth wall was equally spaced, and the iing serpents separated between the earth walls. [Mad Bull] [Head Bash] [Metal w] [Water de] [Earth Maniption ¨C Earth Spikes] Soon, he started farming his level 8 skills in the earthenpartments he created and massacred the Wind Serpents he trapped. ¡®Ding, The host killed 1000 rank 6 water serpents. ¡®Ding, The host killed 500 rank 7 water serpents. ¡®Ding, The host killed 98 rank 9 water serpents. . . . The system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head as he killed them with a calm and nonchnt look. Even though the corpses of the Wind Serpents were piling up on the ground, Leo was not interested in consuming them¡­at least for now. ¡®My goal is to devour the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents.¡¯ He was waiting for the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents toe out of the canyon. ¡°Supreme-ranked serpents, why aren¡¯t you going to bring that fruit to me?¡± Once again, the voice resounded in the canyon, and in the next second, more than a dozen level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked water serpents came out of the canyon. Along with them, they brought nearly a hundred thousand water serpents whose strength varied from rank 4 to rank 9. ¡°Excellent¡­they are finally here.¡± Looking at the huge Wind Serpents that came out of the canyon, Leo revealed a slight smile as he stopped fighting and summoned his [Arcane Silver]. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 204 [Bonus Chapter] Ancester Serpents Hidden Ability Leo had been waiting for the Supreme-ranked Wind Serpents and many of their minions. Therefore, when he saw the dozen huge Wind Serpents along with their hundred thousand minions, Leo could not help but reveal a cold smile and summon his [Arcane Silver]. Among the dozen supreme-ranked Wind Serpents, all were level 1 except for a Wind Serpent whose strength was level 2. However, he was not the King of the Wind Seperents because the Wind Serpent King had yet toe out of the canyon. ¡®Hiss¡¯ ¡°Kill him.¡± Without wasting time, the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent ordered the level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents and the below-ranked Wind Serpents to attack Leo. ¡®Hiss¡¯ Leo had killed thousands of the Wind Serpents, and it was enough to anger the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. Therefore, they rushed at Leo along with their underlings to kill him and retrieve the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit. Leo was not worried about the iing Wind Serpents; instead, he looked at them with a cold smile and activated the soul skill of his sword. [Arcane Silver¡¯s soul skill ¨C Ancestor Serpent Manifestion]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯-. As soon as he activated the soul skill, a huge phantom of a ck-coloured serpent appeared above Leo¡¯s head. When the rushing Wind Serpents saw the huge Ancestor Serpent¡¯s phantom, they stopped rushing at Leo. Even the Supreme-ranked Wind Serpents were no exception as they felt an unknown fear just from looking at the huge phantom as though it would devour them if they moved closer to Leo. ¡®Hiss¡¯ As all the Wind Serpents were in shock, the huge phantom hissed, and in the next second, all rank 9 and below ranked Wind Serpents fell to the ground. ¡°Master¡± Soon after, the rank 9 Wind Serpents that could speak respectfully called Leo. ¡®What?¡¯ The supreme-ranked Wind Serpents were shocked when they saw the scene of a hundred thousand Wind Serpents calling a human a¡¯Master¡¯. ¡°Rest for a couple of minutes. Then, I will take care of these supreme-ranked Wind Serpents.¡± Since Leo knew they were absolutely loyal to him for the next five minutes, Leo asked them to rest for a while. As for Leo, he would be killing the dozen supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. ¡°Human, what kind of sorcery are you using? Let them be released.¡± Even though they have a slight fear while looking at the huge serpent phantom above Leo¡¯s head, the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents seriously ask him to release their minions. ¡°As long as you defeat me, I will release them. What do you say?¡± Leo nodded and offered them a deal. ¡°It looks like you think that Phantom will protect you? Sure, let¡¯s fight.¡± The level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent scoffed at Leo and said to the other supreme-ranked Wind Serpent, ¡®This human is mysterious. Let¡¯s attack him together.¡¯ ¡®Yes.¡¯ The elven level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents hurriedly nodded their heads. ¡°Everyone, release your poison.¡± As soon as they agreed to fight together, the Level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent ordered them to release their poison while he did the same. These supreme-ranked Wind Serpents have one order: to kill the human and retreive the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit for their King. So, they don¡¯t mind using underhand methods like ganging up on the rank 9 human or releasing poison. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the entire area was filled with light green-coloured smoke released from the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. ¡®Huh? So, they were dual elemental serpents?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and nodded his head in understanding; however, he was not worried. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s level 8 [Poison Resistance] is triggered. ¡®Ding, The effect of the poisons and the Poison-type attacks will be decreased by 80 percent. Soon, this passive skill got triggered. He was not worried much when he learned they could release poison because of his [Poison resistance]. ¡®Even though I am not 100 percent resistant to poison, 80 percent is enough to take care of them.¡¯ With his current [Posion Resistance], Leo had to inhale lots of poisonous gases to get poisoned. But, before that, Leo could easily kill all the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents without an issue. ¡°Huh? Why is he not affected by our poison?¡± The dozen Wind Serpents were shocked to see that Leo was not affected by their poisons even in the slightest bit. However, something happened in front of their eyes in the next second that shocked them even more. ¡®Hiss¡¯ Before Leo could start fighting the dozen supreme-ranked Wind Serpents, he noticed that the huge phantom absorbed the poisonous gas in the entire area above his head. That¡¯s right! The huge serpent phantom above Leo¡¯s head opened its mouth and devoured the poisonous gas. ¡®What? This phantom can do that?¡¯ Not only the twelve Wind Serpents but even Leo was surprised for a moment before bing excited. ¡®It looks like I don¡¯t have to worry about poisons even without my skill [Poison Resistance]. I wonder whether it had any other abilities.¡¯ Before, he had no clue that the Serpent Phantom could devour the poisonous gases; however, he learned a new thing about the Phantom, making him curious about whether the Phantom has other abilities hidden from him. ¡°Shall we fight now?¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t have the time to check for the other abilities of the Serpent Phantom as he could only manifest it for five minutes with a cooldown of one hour. Moreover, there was still the Wind Serpent King hiding in the canyon who mighte out at any moment now. Therefore, Leo decided to kill them as soon as he possibly could. [Earth Maniption ¨C Earth Hands] Soon, twelve earth hands came from the ground and held the twelve supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. [Wyvern Wings] [Water de] [Triple Strike] Leo knew that those earth hands could not hold them for much longer. But moreover, he summoned six pairs of them in a single go. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste his time anymore and used his skills and talents in a perfectbination. ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 205 Five-Minute Massacre [Wyvern Wings] [Dual Elemental Bomb] [Fireball] [Fire Wyvern w] Leo used almost all the level 8 skills and talents while attacking the supreme-ranked Wind Serpent. It was not that he wanted to kill or cause damage to them; instead, he was just increasing his 100-time mandatory usage for the level 8 skills and talents set by the [Absolute Devour]. [Triple Strike- three strikebo] However, his main killing blow was the [Triple Strike] while dodging the iing attacks of the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. Even though the difference between a rank 9 hero and a level 1 supreme-ranked hero seems only one level, in reality, they belong topletely different worlds. However, for Leo, crossing the world barrier was a piece of cake because he had got a 10 percent from his title [Supreme Killer]. Earlier, when he was about to start the fight, Leo changed his title from [Bull Executioneer] to [Supreme Killer] because all supreme-ranked beings would receive 10 percent extra damage from his attacks. ¡®Even though the title [Spider Killer] won¡¯t stack with the effects of the other titles, I gave another boost from [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] where all supreme-ranked snake-type beasts and monsters would face a 10 percent reduction in their battle prowess.¡¯ Besides these two boosts, Leo had a good battle experience in the wilderness, making things easy for him while killing the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents. [Triple Strike] ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a water de in his hands, Leo sliced the head of thest level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent that rolled on the ground. Its eyes were wide open with shock and fear.-. ¡®Ding, The host killed two level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents and gained two [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed three level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents and gained three [Supreme Promote Points]. . . . After killing thest level 12 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents, Leo received all the system notifications. Besides the [Supreme Promote Points], Leo didn¡¯t receive any additional system notifications from the system, making him mutter, ¡®I hope the system increases its reward rate after the system upgrade.¡¯ ording to the system, after the system upgrade, the rewards would increase in their levels and quantity. Hence, he hoped to get more rewards for killing the supreme-ranked monsters and beasts. ¡°What? How is that possible? You are just a rank 9 human hero; how can you kill 12 level 12 supreme-ranked beast heroes in less than two minutes.¡± On the other hand, the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent was shocked and looked at Leo as though he was some kind of monster. ¡°I would like to answer your questions¡­.¡± ¡®War God Battle Axe¡¯ [Battle Axe Mastery] Before Leo could finish his wordspletely, the water de in his hands disappeared as he summoned the War God Battle Axe before triggering his [Battle Axe Mastery]. [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] [Wa God Battle Axe¡¯s Skill ¨C Laceration] He didn¡¯t give any time for the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent to react as he teleported above the Serpent¡¯s head and activated one of the weapon skills. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Cleave¡¯ The battle axended on the huge head of the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent as he shed it into two equal halves after breaking its topyer of defense. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ Leo perfectlynded on the ground as the two equal halves of the Wind Serpent fell on either side behind him. ¡°¡­.However, I am running out of time.¡± Only after killing it did Leo finish his line from earlier. Leo said he was running out of time because the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] would disappear in a couple of minutes. Leo took less than three minutes to kill the twelve supreme-ranked Wind Serpents, which left him two minutes to do what he wanted. He stored the corpses of the twelve supreme-ranked Wind Serpents in the [Secret Dimensional Space], and looking at nearly the hundred thousand Wind Serpents with varying strength, Leo revealed a cold smile. ¡®It¡¯s time to farm the skills and talents.¡¯ [Water de] [Metal w] [Dual Elemental Bomb] [Earth Maniption- Earth Spike] Since he had two minutes to farm his level 8 talents and skills, Leo wanted to use them as many times as possible. ¡®Ding, The host used [Roaring Battle Bull] and increased his battle prowess by 80 percent. ¡®Ding, The host used [Metal w] and killed 10 rank 8 Wind Serpents. ¡®Ding, The host used [Dual Elemental Bomb] and killed 100 rank 7 Wind Serpents. . . The system notifications kept ringing in his head as he continued to use one skill after another. It didn¡¯t take much time as Leo had finally seen the fruits of his hard work as the system notification he was waiting for had finally rung in his head. ¡®Ding, The host has used [Water de] 100 times. Please devour enough corpses to upgrade it to level 8. Leo was using [Water de] continuously from when he awakened it. Aside from now, Leo used it in the Spider Queen¡¯s territory, in the fight against the Terra Bulls, against the ming Lions in the Emberfieds, and even when erasing the existence of the Metal-wed Vultures. Therefore, Leo was not surprised by it and resumed the massacre. ¡®Thanks to the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation], I was able to use the skills I want to use.¡¯ When a target doesn¡¯t move and stays in the same ce, Leo doesn¡¯t have to think about the effectiveness of the damage on his target. Leo couldplete the usage 100 times for another skill thanks to the weapon skill [Dual Elemental Bomb]. ¡®Ding, The weapon skill [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] has now fallen into the cool down. The host can use it again after one hour. By the time the skill [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] ended, Leo had killed almost 90 percent of the Wind Serpents. [Earth Maniption- Earth Spikes] Just as those Wind Serpents were about toe to their senses, Leo summoned earth spikes out of the ground and killed them. ¡®Ding, The host killed 95677 Wind Serpents whose strength varied from rank 4 to rank 9. ¡®Ding, The host has gained one million [Promote Points]. ¡®Before the Wind Seperent Kinges out of the canyon, I shouldpletely devour them.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t start devouring with the low-level Wind Serpents; instead, he entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] and started devouring with the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed the level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent. As the level of the [Absolute Devour] increased, the devouring speed also increased to the next level. It only took less than five seconds to devour the entire corpse of a level 2 supreme-ranked Wind Serpent. After finishing, Leo was about to consume the next Wind Serpent; however, he received a system notification, which pleasantly surprised him. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new special talent. Please check it in the [User Interface]. Even though he knew he would get a skill or talent from consuming all the supreme-ranked Wind Serpents¡¯ corpses, Leo didn¡¯t expect to awaken a talent just after consuming the first corpse. ¡®I wonder what type of talent it is? If it is a special talent, it will save my time upgrading the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ With that thought in his head, Leo decided to check his new talent. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t stop devouring the remaining corpses while checking it. ¡®Th..this talent¡­.is what I want.¡¯ After seeing new talent, Leo could not help but get surprised once again. ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 206 Leaving the tail behind to escape After reading the information on his newly awakened talent, Leo muttered with a slight smile and read it again. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Poison Tempest (Level 1). Talent Element: Wind/ Poison (Speical-type). Effect: 1) The user can summon a violent windstorm for five minutes filled with poison that could poison even the elite ss beings. Note: More effects will be unlocked at higher levels. There was only one effect; however, Leo knew how powerful it could be. ¡®With this new talent, I have another mass destruction talent.¡¯ Leo could not help but think about his other talents like [Mighty Combustion], [Earth Maniption], [Call of the Undead], [Heavenly Fire Purgatory], and two beast transformation talents that had destructive talents and skills. Overall, Leo was bing a war machine that could destroy armies with each one of his talents. ¡®It is good to have more mass destructive talents as it would be greatly helpful for the uing World Assessment.¡¯ Leo was not worried about the single target talents because he already had a few of them and had enough skills. Moreover, it¡¯s just a beginning for Leo because there are other worlds with higher grades, and there will be high-level world assessments in the future. ¡®I can use the [Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit] on this newly awakened talent; however, I need to upgrade it to level 9 as soon as possible.¡¯ Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts about the future and thought about the fruit. Leo has a one-month time limit before the effects of the [Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit] and the [Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit] expire. ¡®I only need one more special talent and a normal talent to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7.¡¯ Nevertheless, as long as he upgraded the [Talent Promoter] to level 7, Leo assumed he could upgrade them to level 9 with the millions of [Promote Points] he umted. Even though Leo was not sure whether he could upgrade his talents to level 9 with a level 7 [Talent Promoter], he believed he could do it.-. Leo also knew that to promote talent in the Advanced ss, he needed to spend a lot of [Promote Points]. However, he was not worried as he already had millions of [Promote Points], and he would be umting even more in the next few days. ¡®For now, I will just focus on getting another special talent and a normal talent.¡¯ Leo came out of his thoughts and realized something else, ¡®Now, I don¡¯t need to focus on the wind-type monsters anymore as I already got what I want.¡¯ One of the main reasons he started the hunt in the wilderness was to get a special type of wind-type talent such that he could use the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit. Since he already got what he wanted, Leo could end the mission to hunt the wind-type monsters and beasts. ¡®I just need to focus on increasing the potential of the three talents, [Mega Terra Bull Transformation], [Poison Storm], and [Earth Maniption].¡¯ Since [Earth Maniption] only needs around 20 percent of the potential to reach the peak level 9, he added it to his list of upgrades. ¡®Ding, The host consumed 11 level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents and awakened a skill [Wind Speed]. ¡®Ding, The skills [Wind Speed] and [eleration] are simr. Try merging them to get a new and powerful skill. After consuming the remaining 11 level 1 supreme-ranked Wind Serpents, Leo awakened a new skill which was not a big surprise as he had already expected. However, he got a skill that could be merged with another skill. ¡®For now, let¡¯s just focus on devouring the corpse.¡¯ Since two of his skills had fulfilled the requirements to upgrade to level 9, Leo wanted to devour more corpses and upgrade them to level 9. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo walked out of his [Secret Dimensional Space] and started devouring the Wind Serpents¡¯ corpses at an incredible speed. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed 1000 rank 8 Wind Serpents; however, he didn¡¯t gain anything. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed 210 rank 9 Wind Serpents. The host has sessfully awakened a new skill [Wind Bomb]. ¡®Ding, The [Absolute Devour]¡¯s effect has sessfully triggered three times from consuming the Wind Serpents¡¯ corpses. ¡®Ding, The chances of triggering the [Absolute Devour] will be reduced to one percent while consuming the Wind Serpent¡¯s copses. Leo didn¡¯t take much time to awaken another skill, reducing his awakening chances while consuming the Wind Serpents¡¯ corpses. However, Leo was already satisfied with the special talent and skills he gained from the Wind Serpent. ¡®The Wind Serpent King mighte at any time.¡¯ Leo increased his devouring speed, hoping the Wind Serpent King woulde out of the canyon. [Gale st] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As Leo continued to devour the corpses to increase the level of his skill, the powerful winds from the canyon came out and drifted towards Leo. ¡®sh¡¯ Even though Leo was on high alert regarding the Wind Serpent King¡¯s attacks, he could not dodge the iing Gales. Leo¡¯s body was covered in cuts as blood oozed out. [Fire Healing] Gritting his teeth, Leo summoned a fireball and started healing those cuts as he coldly looked at the canyon. ¡®Looks like he is finallying out.¡¯ Even though Leo¡¯s entire body was covered in cuts, they were healing at a good speed. Moreover, Leo had consumed so many corpses, and his body was filled with energy. So, Leo was not worried his lost blood would affect his battle prowess. ¡®Hiss¡¯ ¡°Human, I don¡¯t know who you are and where you got that Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit; you have messed with the wrong Beast Hero.¡± Soon, a huge serpent head came out of the canyon as it hissed at Leo. ¡°Sutin,e out and take care of this beast.¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to summon the Terra Bull Tyrant as he already knew he was not a match for the Wind Serpent King. ¡°I will let the two of you have a good time. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± After finishing his words, Leo continued to heal his injuries. ¡°Yes, master.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant looked at the huge head inside the canyon and pawed the ground disying its eagerness for the fight. ¡®Moow¡¯ After nodding his head at Leo, Sutin bellowed at the huge serpent head of the Wind Serpent King in the canyon and rushed at him. ¡°What? The Terra Bull Tyrant is following the orders of a rank 9 wild human?¡± The Wind Serpent King was shocked when he saw how Leo ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant, one of the four bestial rulers of the Beas. ¡°I need to escape.¡± There was no hesitation in the Wind Serpent King as he hurriedly tried to escape through a narrow pass in the canyon. ¡°Where are you trying to escape?¡± Sutin bellowed as he jumped into the canyon with his huge body, stomping on the Wind Serpent King¡¯s tail, escaping into the narrow hole. ¡®Hiss¡¯ The Wind Serpent King hissed in pain; however, he didn¡¯t hesitate to cut his tail to escape deeper into the hole. Except for the Wind Serpent King, no one knows where the narrow passage leads, and Sutin can¡¯t enter it because of his huge size. ¡°Master, that b*stard is faster than I expected. I am sorry I failed to capture it.¡± Sutin thought Leo would be angry and might scold him. So, he hurriedly apologized to Leo for failing to capture the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Sutin, actually, you did a good thing.¡± However, to Sutin¡¯s surprise, Leo praised him. ¡°What? But I failed to¡­.¡± ¡°Yes. You failed, and it was a good thing.¡± Leo smiled slightly and said, ¡°For now, let¡¯s rest here. Soon, you will know that you did a good thing.¡± ¡°What?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant looked at Leo with a curious look and thought, ¡®I have to think about it and find out what it was as soon as possible.¡¯ Sutin¡¯s goal in following Leo was to be an intelligent beast hero capable of not getting fooled by others. So, he put his head into thinking, trying to figure out what was good about failing to capture the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Let¡¯s rest here for a while before clearing more monsters in the wildernesster.¡± As the Terra Bull Tyrant was thinking hard, Leo said they would be resting here. However, Sutin was fully focused on his thinking. So, he didn¡¯t bother to reply to Leo. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo shook his head at the bull. Because of the violent winds in the canyon, no other beasts resided in the canyon other than the Wind Serpents. Therefore, after massacring all the Wind Serpents, it became an empty ce where Leo could rest. ¡°Skye, there are no violent winds in this cave; you can rest here before we go on our new adventure.¡± After helping the rank 9 ming lion in a cave, Leo found a good ce to sort his new skills and upgrade his talents to level 7. ¡®Hiss¡¯ ¡®Hiss¡¯ However, just as he settled and wanted to sort his new skills, Leo heard the hissing sounds from above. ¡®Huh? Did the Wind Serpent Kinge back already?¡¯ It¡¯s been around 30 minutes since the Wind Serpent King escaped through the narrow passage currently guarded by Sutin. Even though the hissing sound came from above the canyon, Leo felt it was Wind Serpent King. ¡°B*stard,e out and fight if you dare.¡± As Leo was about toe out of the canyon to check, he heard the Wind Serpent King¡¯s voice and revealed a cold smile. ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 207 [Bonus chapter] Surrounded? ¡®As expected of King of the Wind Serpents, he came back faster than I thought.¡¯ Leo was not surprised that the Wind Serpent King had returned; however, what made him surprised was, ¡®I never expected he woulde back so soon.¡¯ ording to what Leo knew about the Wind Serpents, they were greedy and vengeful to the very core. As the king of the Wind Serpents, he would be even more greedy and vengefulpared to the normal Wind Serpents. Not only does the Wind Serpent King want the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, but he wants to take revenge against the Terra Bull Tyrant, who made him cut his own tail to escape. When adding these two things, there was no doubt that the Wind Serpent King would return to take revenge for the tail and his underlings. That¡¯s why he decided to wait for him while sorting out his new talent and skills. Nevertheless, the Wind Serpent King hade back sooner than he thought. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s go and greet him.¡¯ With a slight smile on his face, Leo looked at the Terra Bull Tyrant, who had alreadye out of his thoughts when he heard the Wind Serpent King¡¯s voice. ¡®Why did hee back? Is he seeking death?¡¯ The Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t understand why the Wind Serpent King returned after knowing that a bestial ruler was assisting the human who killed all the Winf Serpents in the canyon. ¡°It¡¯s time you discover how you did well by failing to capture the Wind Serpent King.¡±-. After saying that, the slight smile on his face changed to a cold smile as he flew out of the canyon after summoning his [Wyvern Wings]. ¡®So, Master already knew that he woulde back? But, how did he know?¡¯ Right now, there was another thought in Sutin¡¯s bullhead. ¡®Let¡¯s see what that good thing Master kept on saying.¡¯ Soon, he was curious about the good thing, and with an [Earth Stomp], the Terra Bull Tyrant climbed the nt side of the canyon and came out of it. Aftering out of the canyon, Leo and Sutin saw the huge body of the Wind Serpent King. ¡®It is much bigger than I thought.¡¯ Previously the Wind Serpent King didn¡¯te out of the canyonpletely. So before the Terra Bull Tyrant could jump into the canyon, he had already escaped into a narrow passage. It was more than 45 meters long with three meters in width. Of course, the snake¡¯s length was without the tail, and if it were also added, it would be more than 50 meters long. ¡°Human, I thought I had to waste my time searching for you; however, who would have expected that you would dare to reside inside my home?¡± The Wind Serpent King angrily chuckled at Leo and said, ¡°If you give me the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit on your own, I am willing to take you as my servant.¡± Actually, the Wind Serpent King wanted nothing but two things. One, he should get the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit at any cost. And the other one was to take revenge for his underlings. ¡®Damn it¡­this b*stard is lucky. Even though he killed all my underlings, they want to take him as a servant.¡¯ The Wind Serpent King looked in a particr direction where a pair of purple-coloured snake eyes was watching him. However, for some reason, the Wind Serpent King had to forget about the revenge and should be satisfied with the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit. ¡®Let it be. As long as I consume the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, I can make a breakthrough to the level 5 supreme rank. At that time, I can challenge ¡®Them¡¯ and be the King of this Snake Territory.¡¯ Even though the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit could not help the supreme-ranked beings in breaking through their levels, the Wind Serpent King could use it to break through because he had been stuck at peak level 4 supreme rank for nearly a decade. So, he wanted to get the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit at any cost. Therefore, the Wind Serpent King gave an offer based on the orders he received, and as for who he received orders from, only he knew it. ¡°Wind Serpent King, it looks like you are eager to leave this world. So why don¡¯t I fulfill it for you.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant was already furious that the Wind Serpent King could escape from him earlier, and now, the Wind Serpent King dared to ask his master to be a servant. [Earth Stome] ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Rumble¡¯ Sutin raised his forelegs and stomped on the ground, shaking the entire area as cracks appeared. [Bull Rush] There were many cracks on the ground, and it was uneven; however, the Terra Bull Tyrant could run at an incredible speed. [Head Bash] Sutin wanted to give a head bash with his hornless bullhead; however, two huge wings appeared behind the Wind Serpent King, and he flew into the air to escape the attack. ¡°Do you think you can escape just because you have a flying ability?¡± [Tera Storm] Sutin canceled his [Head Bash] and summoned a huge sandstorm from the cracks on the ground, trying to capture the Wind Serpent King in it. Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t have much thinking ability, he knew how to counter and capture his enemies in the battle thanks to his rich battle experience from the past. ¡°Thank you for summoning a terra storm.¡± Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the distance as a huge brown-coloured python rose from the ground. The python¡¯s body had rocks and mud all over it, making it hard for anyone to notice its existence. ¡°Wind Serpent King, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The brown-coloured python looked at the Wind Serpent King in the air and said it was time to eat. As soon as it finished its words, both the python and the Wind Serpent King widely opened their mouths. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the terra storm that the Terra Bull Tyrant created got separated into two parts. One part was filled with sand and stones, whereas the other was a storm. ¡°Let¡¯s dig in.¡± Soon, the brown-coloured python devoured the sand and rock, whereas the Wind Serpent King inhaled the huge storm that only had wind. ¡°What? You can separate my attack and devour them?¡± Sutin was surprised and furious as he wanted to kill the brown-coloured python. ¡°Sutin, stop bing furious over nothing; instead, think why the Wind Serpent King woulde back after escaping from you by cutting off his own tail?¡± However, he was stopped by Leo as he looked at the Wind Serpent King and the brown-coloured python. Since Leo promised Sutin to help him be intelligent, he asked the Terra Bull Tyrant to think about it. ¡°Why?¡± Sutin looked at the Wind Serpent King and the Earth Python King and started thinking about it. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡°Keke¡­.looks like the wild human had already figured it out. So, everyone, you can stop hiding now.¡± In the next second, a burst of eerieughter came from the depths of the Naga Territory, and four huge supreme-ranked crowned snakes came from four sides and surrounded Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant. ***** Finally, the book got the first MAGIC CASTLE. Robert_Trimble, thanks for GIFT. It really means a lot. THANK YOU. Chapter 208 Six Snake Kings Other than the Wind Serpent King and the Earth Python King, there were four new supreme-ranked serpents with crowns on their heads, indicating they were also King-type snakes. ¡°It looks like all the Kings of the Naga¡¯s territory hade here.¡± Sutin instantly recognized the four newly arrived giant snakes and scoffed at them without any fear. There is no way the Terra Bull Tyrant would back down regarding fights. When Sutin saw the six kings of the Naga¡¯s territory surrounding them, he became excited as he loved to fight to the death. Moreover, he also saw a cold smile on Leo and thought, ¡®Is this the good thing that master has mentioned earlier?¡¯ That¡¯s right! This is what Leo has been waiting for from the moment the Wind Serpent King escaped. Leo had already learned from Skye about the six snake kings of the Naga¡¯s territory. They are Wind Serpent King, Earth Python King, Fire Viper King, Water Basilisk King, Lightning Naga King, and the Nether Naga King. The Lightning Naga King and the Nether Nage King are the leaders among the six snake kings who control everything in the Naga¡¯s territory. He also learned that among the four territories in the Wilderness of the Beas, the Ogre¡¯s territory used to be the powerful territory.-. However, after the ming Lion King killed the Golden-wed Vulture King and four Silver-wed Vultures, its ranking fell to second, giving first ce to Naga¡¯s territory. Naga¡¯s territory, as its name suggests, is a territory that was filled with snakes and serpents, and it was ruled by the Nether Naga King and Lightning Naga King. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡°Terra Bull Tyrant, why don¡¯t you keep quiet for a while?¡± The Lightning Naga King mocked Sutin; in his eyes, the Terra Bull Tyrant was not worth talking to. So, he asked Sutin to keep quiet. ¡°You¡­how dare you¡­.¡± ¡°Sutin, the first thing you have to do in this situation is to remain calm and think.¡± However, Sutin was stopped by Leo, who continued, ¡°Think¡­Why do they show themselves openly in front of one of the bestial rulers? Are they not afraid of death? Or do they have the confidence to kill the bestial ruler?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Even though Sutin was furious and wanted to stomp all six snake kings to death, he followed Leo¡¯s words and thought about it. ¡°I think they are confident in defeating me. That¡¯s why they didn¡¯t bother to hide anymore.¡± Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant was dumb, it could understand after listening to Leo¡¯s question. ¡°Correct.¡± Leo replied with a single word. ¡°Since the Wind Serpent King is known for his greed and resentment, he would not let us go just like that.¡± After he thought about the questions Leo asked, the Terra Bull Tyrant could figure out everything. ¡°See, it is very easy as long as you remain calm and think. You can also be an intelligent beast hero one day.¡± ¡°Thank you, master. I will continue to follow and learn how to think in various situations.¡± They seemed to forget that the six snake kings surrounded them as they talked with one another, making the six snake kings speechless. ¡°How dare you talk to yourself when the six snake kings are here.¡± The Fire Vipre King was furious when he saw that Leo and Sutin were not paying attention and wanted to kill them. ¡°Viper, control your mes.¡± However, he was stopped by the Lightning Naga King, who next looked at the Nether Naga King and said, ¡®Why don¡¯t you make an offer yourself? It would be effective, and the wild human might feel pressured to ept the offer.¡± ¡®Hiss~¡¯ The Nether Naga King hissed in understanding and glided towards Leo and Sutin. ¡°Wild human, you are really one of a kind. Not only you have special talents and an ability to tame one of the four bestial rulers, your intelligence andposure are also top notch.¡± The Nether Naga King started by praising Leo¡¯s talents, intelligence, battle prowess, andposure. ¡°Stop beating around the bush ande straight to the point.¡± Even though the Nether Naga King praised him, Leo didn¡¯t care much about it and asked the Nether Naga King toe to the point. ¡°How dare you¡­.¡± ¡®Hiss~¡¯ Before the Wind Serpent King could finish his shout, the Lightning Naga King hissed, and the Wind Serpent King instantly became silent. ¡°Keke¡­.good. I have an offer for you. As long as you swear your allegiance to me, not only you can get to keep the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, I will even give you a Supreme Innate Dark Elemental Fruit. Also, you can do whatever you want to and wherever you want to go. All you need to do is help us when we ask you to help.¡± The Nether Naga King was not furious; instead, he chuckled and gave an offer much better than the offer made by the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Nether Naga, what are you saying? Why would he keep the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit?¡± Before Leo could say anything, the Wind Serpent King became anxious and hurriedly objected to the Nether Naga King¡¯s offer. ¡°Shut up. Why are you crying over the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit? Once we conquer this world, you can rece the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King and take over his mountains.¡± From the side, the Lightning Naga King pped the Wind Serpent King with his tail and enticed him with the future. That¡¯s right! During the next world assessment, the six snake kings have been building their strength to conquer the entire Beas. So, when they heard Leo taming one of the bestial rulers and killing all the Wind Serpents, they became interested in recruiting Leo. Therefore, the Nether Naga King offered a tempting offer that would make anyone nod their heads without thinking much. Unlike the Wind Serpent King, the Nether Naga King was not asking him to be a servant because he knew a wild human like Leo would not want to be anyone¡¯s ve or servant. ¡°What do you say? You just have to drop a blood on this Contract Stone if you agree to my terms.¡± The Nether Naga King asked Leo again while coughing out a ck-coloured stone from his mouth. Even though Leo expected that the Wind Serpent King would bring a couple of snake kings to take revenge, he didn¡¯t expect all the snake kings to visit him. What¡¯s more unbelievable was, except for the Wind Serpent King, they wanted to recruit him to conquer the Beas. ¡®This snakes think they can conquer the Bea but they are greatly underestimating Fury.¡¯ Even though the deal was good, Leo didn¡¯t have any intentions of going with this group of snakes as he was not the type to repay kindness with evil to the ming Lion King. ¡°The deal is good; however, what about him? Will he be alright?¡± Pointing his finger at the Wind Serpent King, Leo asked with a casual look and said, ¡°What if he sneaked an attack after I joined you guys? I will consider joining you guys if you take care of him.¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t reject the offer directly as he indirectly asked the Nether Naga King to kill Wind Serpent King. ¡®Let¡¯s see what he will do now?¡¯ ***** Liking the story? Support the author with Gifts, voting Power stones, and leaving somements. Chapter 209 Supreme Contract Stone ¡®Let¡¯s see what he will do now?¡¯ Leo was curious whether the Nether Naga King would kill the Wind Serpent King to recruit him. ¡°¡­¡± The Nether Naga King wanted to kill the Wind Serpent King for disturbing him earlier as he was enticing the human; however, Wind Serpent King is an asset to him. However, after hearing Leo¡¯s condition to join the Naga¡¯s territory, he was tempted to kill the Wind Serpent King. ¡®Wind Serpent King is a peak level 4 supreme-ranked beast hero whereas the wild human has a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero as his servant.¡¯ Soon, the Nether Naga King started thinking about the pros and cons of killing the Wind Serpent King. ¡®Since his entire army has already been killed, he could not increase his army at a faster rate. Moreover, consuming his meat would help the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked snakes in the territory to increase their strength at a faster pace.¡¯ The pros of killing the Wind Serpent King clearly outweigh the cons as the Nether Naga King looked at the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Nether Naga, why are you looking at me like that? Do you really want to kill me for that rank 9 wild human?¡± Initially, the Wind Serpent King didn¡¯t think the Nether Naga King would consider Leo¡¯s condition; however, when he saw how the Nether Naga King was looking at him, the Wind Serpent King became anxious. ¡°Human, can you reconsider your condition? I will make sure the Wind Serpent King tries anything funny with you.¡±-. The Nether Naga King shook his head and asked Leo to reconsider his condition. ¡®However, losing an about to be level 5 supreme-ranked beast hero is still a big loss.¡¯ Even though the pros of killing the Wind Serpent King clearly outweigh the cons, the Nether Naga King was not acting in a hurry; instead, he asked Leo to change his decision. ¡®I know big brother Nether Naga is not the type to abandon one of his brothers.¡¯ The Wind Serpent King heaved a sigh of relief and praised the Nether Naga King in his heart. ¡°Fine then. If you don¡¯t want to kill him, we can only fight to death then.¡± Leo scoffed at the Nether Naga King and ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant, ¡°Sutin, get ready. Let¡¯s see whether¡­.¡± ¡°Wait, human. There is no need to fight over a small issue.¡± However, before Leo could finish his order to the Terra Bull Tyrant, the Nether Naga King stopped Leo and said it was a minor issue. ¡°So, are you going to kill him?¡± Leo coldly smiled in his heart as he asked with a nonchnt look. ¡°As long as you are willing to join the Naga¡¯s territory, I will fullfil your condition.¡± A peak level 4 supreme rank beast hero? Or a level 6 supreme rank beast hero who was one of the four bestial rulers and a rank 9 human with some unparalleled battle prowess that didn¡¯t belong to a rank 9 human hero? The answer was evident as the Nether Naga King chose Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant over the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Nether Naga, what do you mean fulfilling his condition? Are you going to kill me because of him?¡± The Wind Serpent King was praising the Nether Naga King just a few seconds back; however, now, he heard that the Nether Naga said killing him was a minor issue. ¡°Viper, Basilisk and Python, capture him.¡± The Fire Viper King and the Earth Python King were surprised that the Nether Naga King was willing to kill the Wind Serpent King for a wild human who tamed the Terra Bull Tyrant. They didn¡¯t know what to do as they looked at each other. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡°Why are you looking at each other? Didn¡¯t you hear what the Nether Naga has said?¡± From the other side, the Lightning Naga King hissed at them, and the three snake kings stopped thinking and glided towards the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Don¡¯t take it to your heart, brother. We are just following the orders.¡± ¡°You would have done the same if you were in our ce, right?¡± The Wind Serpent King was still in shock as the three snake kings pressed him to the ground. The three snake kings justified their actions as they used their physical strength along with some of their skills to prevent the Wind Serpent King from escaping. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡°What are you doing? Let me go.¡± Only after being captured by his fellow snake kings did the Wind Serpent Kinge out of shock as he angrily hissed at them. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, the three snake kings didn¡¯t bother to reply as he waited for the Nether Naga King¡¯s orders. Even though they were the kings of the Naga¡¯s territory, they were nothing in front of the Nether Naga King and the Lightning Naga King. And they have already sworn their allegiance to those two snake kings and officially made them the kings of the Naga¡¯s territory. Therefore, they followed all their orders without asking why. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ Seeing that the three snake kings captured the Wind Serpent King, the Nether Naga King hissed at them with a satisfied look. ¡°Human, drop your blood on the Contract Stone and I will kill him ording to the conditions.¡± Even though the Wind Serpent King was captured, the Nether Naga King didn¡¯t kill him; instead, he asked Leo toplete the contract first. Not every beast hero would be as dumb as the Terra Bull Tyrant, who was careless with the oath and let Leo kill his underlings. However, the Nether Naga King was cunning and careful in his actions. Since these serpents were not the natives of this world, they didn¡¯t have any Beast God to make Leo take an oath in the presence of their god. So, the Nether Naga King could only use a supreme grade item, ¡®Contract Stone,¡¯ to make Leo bound by the terms and conditions of their deal. ¡°Sutin, did you see how careful the Nether Naga King is when dealing with contracts? You should be the same.¡± Leo didn¡¯t reply to the Nether Naga King; instead, he showed the Nether Naga King as an example for the Terra Bull Tyrant and asked him to learn how to be as cautious as the Nether Naga King. ¡°Okay, Master. I understood.¡± Since the Terra Bull Tyrant had experienced something that could not be forgettable regarding the oaths and contracts, he knew what Leo was trying to say. Moreover, he quickly understood it because of that experience. ¡°Human, stop wasting time and drop your blood.¡± Seeing how Leo was wasting time, the Nether Naga King felt something was wrong as he urged Leo to drop his blood on the Contract Stone. ¡°Looks like it is inevitable for us to fight today.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t show any interest in dropping his blood on the Contract Stone as he ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant, ¡°Sutin, are you ready?¡± ¡°I was ready long back and I am just waiting for your orders, master.¡± Sutin violently pawed the ground with his left foreleg and excitedly nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s begin the fight then.¡± [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 210 [Bonus Chapter] Killing the Wind Serpent King ¡°Let¡¯s begin the fight.¡± [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] As soon as he finished his words, Leo teleported to where the three snake kings were holding down the Wind Serpent King. ¡®War God Battle Axe¡¯ [Battle Axe Mastery] In mid-air, Leo summoned the quasi- supreme-ranked battle axe and activated the weapon mastery talent to increase the attack power. [Roaring Battle Bull] [Mad Bull] At the same time, he activated two battle skills that temporarily boosted his battle prowess and attack power. [Arcane Silver¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] [Battle Axe¡¯s weapon skill ¨C Ultimate Cleaver] It was not the end as Leo activated the weapon skills that gave him an additional boost against the supreme-ranked snake kings, not to mention that Leo¡¯s [Supreme Killer] title was still active that dealt an additional 10 percent damage to the supreme-ranked beings.-. ¡®sh¡¯ Leo cleaved the Wind Serpent King exactly seven inches from his head, where most snakes have their weak point. Everything happened in less than five seconds as the three snake kings pressing the Wind Serpent King to the ground could not react in time as Leo dealt his full-powered attack on the Wind Serpent King. ¡®Puchi¡¯ There was a significant cut on the Wind Serpent King¡¯s body as green-coloured blood spilled on Ajax and the other three snake kings. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡®Damn it¡­it is still alive.¡¯ Even though Leo dealt the most powerful attack he had, the damage was not enough to kill the Wind Serpent Emperor, who was a peak level 4 supreme-ranked beast hero. ¡®I should not miss this chance and kill it at any cost.¡¯ [Mighty Combustion- Firestorm] Leo didn¡¯t want to use another powerful attack so soon; however, his goal from the beginning was to kill at least one of the six snake kings so that the pressure on the Terra Bull Tyrant would decrease. Therefore, when he saw the Wind Serpent King was still alive, Leo didn¡¯t give him any time as he used another powerful attack. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Sizzle¡¯ Soon, fiery heat waves came out of Leo¡¯s body as they transformed into a massive firestorm. To cause serious damage to the Wind Serpent King, Leo ced his hands on the huge cut he made on the Wind Serpent King and fixed the firestorm¡¯s base in that cut. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ The Wind Serpent King hissed in pain as the firestorm started burning intensely in that cut, and soon, a hole appeared on the Wind Serpent King¡¯s body as it grew bigger with each passing second. ¡°How dare this human sneak an attack?¡± ¡°Basilisk, counter the firestorm with your water attack.¡± The three snake kings recovered from shock as the Fire Viper King asked the Water Basilisk King to stop the enormous firestorm. ¡°Not so soon.¡± [Bull Rush] [Headbash] However, before the Water Basilisk King could use one of his water-rted talents to counter the enormous firestorm, the Terra Bull Tyrant used two back-to-back skills and mmed into the Water Basilisk King. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ The Water Basilisk King didn¡¯t expect the Terra Bull Tyrant to attack him. Moreover, the Terra Bull Tyrant was much faster than he expected. Therefore, Water Basilisk King didn¡¯t have time to either dodge or block the attack other than getting sted into a canyon. ¡®Such a pitiful way to die.¡¯ After sting away the Water Basilisk King, Sutin looked pitifully at the Wind Serpent King, hissing in pain, and shook his head. From beginning to the end, the Wind Serpent King didn¡¯t get any chance to fight back against Leo. His own kind immobilized him, and Leo used it to his advantage to deal back-to-back strikes to kill the Wind Serpent King. ¡°Master, leave these little snakes to me.¡± Seeing that the Wind Serpent KIing was only a few seconds away from death, Sutin asked Leo to take a rest and assured him that he would take care of the remaining five snake kings. [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] ¡®For the next five minutes, they all have 10 percent of their battle prowess suppressed. Use it to your advantage and kill them.¡¯ Hearing Sutin¡¯s words, Leo teleported himself onto the Terra Bull Tyrant and informed him about the effects of the [Ancestor Serpent Manifesation]. ¡°What? Is it applied to all these snake kings?¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant was surprised as he revealed a chuckle and said, ¡°Interesting.¡± Even though Sutin didn¡¯t fear getting ganged up by the five snake kings, it won¡¯t be easy for him. Among the five snake kings, the three snake kings have the strength of level 4 supreme rank, whereas the remaining two snake kings, the Nether Naga King and the Lightning Naga King, are level 5 supreme ranked beast heroes. If those five snake kings work together, killing a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero like him was easy. However, Sutin was not an average level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero, so killing him was not easy, and at the same time, it was not easy for Sutin either. That¡¯s why Leo had tried his best to kill the Wind Serpent King, reducing the pressure on Sutin, and with the help of the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation], he gave Sutin an advantage to win the fight. ¡®With the 10 percent decrease in their battle-prowess, I can easily kill two of them in five minutes.¡¯ As long as the Terra Bull Tyrant kills one or two snake kings among the five snake kings, he could quickly kill the remaining three snake kings even with the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation]. Therefore, the Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t waste any time and decided to take advantage of the snake phantom; he rushed to the Fire Viper King and Earth Python King. [Mighty Bull] First, Sutin¡¯s talent was triggered, and it increased Sutin¡¯s battle prowess by five times as he rushed toward the two snake kings. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ The Nether Naga King became furious when he saw Leo kill the Wind Serpent King and order the Terra Bull Tyrant to kill the remaining snake kings. ¡°Damn you, human. You dare to kill the Wind Serpent King in front of me? Everyone, kill him.¡± He hissed angrily and ordered all the snakes in the Naga¡¯s territory. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ Soon, millions of snakes from every corner of the Naga¡¯s territory rushed towards their location, and their target was none other than Leo. ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 211 Ancestor Serpent Manifestation - Control ¡®I have been waiting for you to give that order.¡¯ Leo was not worried about the iing millions of snakes from all over the Naga¡¯s territory; instead, he revealed a cold smile. ¡°Lightning Naga, activate your lightning barrier. That wild human should not escape from here today.¡± The Nether Naga King first asked the Lightning Naga King to activate the barrier so that Leo could not teleport from the Naga¡¯s territory. ¡°I have activated it long back.¡± The Lightning Naga King replied and looked at Leo with a disappointed look, ¡°He was a nice asset to have; however, it¡¯s too bad he doesn¡¯t want to join us.¡± ¡®Hiss¡¯ Soon, the five different types of snakes of all sizes reached, and the two Snake Kings knew that there was no way Leo would survive today. ¡°Nether Naga¡­Lightning Naga¡­.help us.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and kill the Dumbheaded Bull first.¡± Soon, the Nether Naga King and the Lightning Naga King saw that the Terra Bull Tyrant was going to kill the Fire Viper King and the Earth Python King; they hurriedly rushed to help the other snake kings fight the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°All supreme-ranked snakes from different ssese and assist us in killing the Terra Bull Tyrant.¡± At the same time, the Lightning Naga King ordered all the supreme-ranked serpents to assist them. As for Leo, with nowhere to escape under siege of millions of snakes, he would die sooner orter and for them killing the Terra Bull Tyrant was the most important thing. ¡®These snake kings are so nice. They are giving me the free [Promote Points], Skills and Talents.¡¯ Leo coldly chuckled as he looked at the iing snakes from different directions.-. ¡°Who do you think you want to kill?¡± Leo didn¡¯t move from his ce as he looked at the iing five types of snakes: the lightning snakes,her snakes, fire vipers, water basilisks, and earth pythons. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ As soon as Leo finished his words, the colossal ancestor snake phantom hissed, and in the next second, the millions of rank 9 and below-ranked snakes froze in their movements. ¡°Assist me in killing the supreme ranked snakes.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to waste any time as he started hunting the supreme-ranked serpents. ¡®What?¡¯ The Lightning Naga King and the Nether Naga King were shocked that their underlings didn¡¯t attack Leo; instead, they started assisting Leo in killing the level 1 supreme-ranked serpents. ¡°What are you doing?¡± They already started fighting the Terra Bull Tyrant. Therefore, other than shouting at the rank 9 and below-ranked serpent, the five snake kings, could do nothing other than yell. The Water Basilisk King had already returned to the canyon and joined the fight with the other snake kings against the Terra Bull Tyrant. Even with five snake kings and the hundreds of supreme-ranked serpents (80 percent of them were level 1 supreme-ranked beasts, and the remaining 20 percent were level 2 supreme-ranked beasts), they barely got the upper hand against the Terra Bull Tyrant. However, before they could slowly increase their upper hands, the rank 9 and below-ranked serpents started attacking the supreme-ranked serpents, making the five snake kings furious. ¡°Kill the human; he must be controlling them with the snake phantom above his head.¡± Even though the Wind Serpent King said everything he witnessed about Leo, he forgot his ability to control the rank 9 and below-ranked snakes. Nevertheless, they could guess that Leo¡¯s ability to control the snakes was rted to the phantom. ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± Soon, the supreme-ranked serpents stopped assisting the snake kings and decided to kill Leo first. ¡®Do you think you can kill me just because you have numbers?¡¯ Leo scoffed at the 100 supreme-ranked serpents and ordered, ¡°Kill them using your full strength. Kill.¡± Leo urged the millions of serpents to use their full power to attack the supreme-ranked serpents without wasting time. ¡°Damn it¡± ¡°What should we do? If we let them attack us, we will be injured severely, and we might even die at this rate.¡± ¡°Kill them.¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s kill them.¡± Initially, they thought they could kill Leo without killing the rank 9 and below-ranked serpents; however, the low-level snakes were not, leaving them with many choices. Therefore, they decided to kill them and clear a way for Leo. ¡®sh¡¯ [me thrower] [Water st] [Rock st] [Lightning bullets] [Nether poison] The supreme-ranked serpents from the five different snake sses started using their skills on the rank 9 and below-ranked serpents to kill. Even though each attack killed thousands of low-level snakes, the supreme-ranked snakes started getting injured slowly. ¡®Hehe¡­you think you can reach it by killing them?¡¯ Leo understood what they were trying to do; why would he let them have their way? [Dual Elemental Bomb] Soon, he summoned a huge orb in front of him. One side of the orb was filled with water, whereas the other was filled with sand. ¡°Where are the seriously injured supreme-ranked snakes?¡± Leo looked for the seriously injured snakes with a cold smile before throwing the dual-coloured orb at them. ¡®Boom¡¯ What followed next was a huge explosion that killed not only a dozen supreme-ranked snakes but also thousands of the low-level snakes that were under his control. Since he was only controlling them temporarily, Leo didn¡¯t care about the low-level snakes because he had already decided to use them as cannon fodder. ¡®Ding, The host killed 15 level 1 supreme-ranked snake and gained 15 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed 1333 rank 9 and below ranked snakes and gained 50000 [Promote Points]. ¡®I need to increase my speed and kill all the supreme-ranked snakes before the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation].¡¯ Even though Leo was satisfied with the number of supreme-ranked snakes he killed in a single go, Leo wanted to speed things up. [Fire Torrent] [Terra Rock Storm] [Wind Bomb] [Fire Wyvern w] [Metal w] [Call of the Undead ¨C Metal-wed vulture] Once he decided that, Leo no longer wasted any time as he used both powerful and average skills. And most importantly, he summoned his first supreme-ranked undead being. ¡®Screech¡¯ As soon as it was summoned, the metal-wed vulture screeched, and before Leo could order, it flew towards a group of injured level 1 supreme-ranked snakes and started fighting them. ¡°Yes¡­kill them.¡± Leo was surprised that he didn¡¯t have to order the undead vulture, but it still did what he thought. ¡®Is it because of its strengh as a supreme rank when it was alive?¡¯ Leo was curious about it and wanted to check it outter. ¡®As for now, let¡¯s focus on clearing the supreme-ranked snakes.¡¯ Currently, Leo could easily kill the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked snakes with the assistance of the millions of rank 9 and below-ranked snakes. However, if the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] disappears, not only would it be hard for Leo to kill the supreme-ranked snakes, but he would lose control over the millions of rank 9 and below-ranked snakes. Therefore, he stopped thinking about other things and focused on killing the supreme-ranked snakes. Time continued to pass, and Leo got a system notification. ¡®Ding, The weapon skill [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] will end in 10 seconds. ¡®Not bad. Ipleted my task in time.¡¯ Leo slightly smiled as he looked at the hundreds of thousands of snakes around him and said, ¡°I think I have to say goodbye to everyone now.¡± ***** Liking the story?

[Infernal Assault] [Arcane Water st] [Solid Immobilzation] [Lightning sh] [Nether Fang] After fighting with the Terra Bull Tyrant for four minutes, the five snake kings used their powerful attacks against the Terra Bull Tyrant, intending to injure him severely. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ The Terra Bull Tyrant dodged three attacks; however, he was hit by two powerful attacks from the Lightning Naga King and the Nether Naga King. ¡®Mooh¡¯ Sutin bellowed in pain as he fell to the ground. ¡°Is that all you got? I was worried that without my supreme-ranked snakes, it would be very difficult to kill you.¡± ¡°Haha¡­I thought he was very strong to be able to be one of the four bestial rulers; however, now I am doubting whether the remaining three bestial rulers are as strong as they im?¡±-. ¡°I can understand how the three bestial rulers were able to gain their titles; however, I don¡¯t under how this dumb bull can be a bestial ruler.¡± ¡°Correct. He didn¡¯t have any intelligence and the battle prowess. It¡¯s truly a miraculous thing that this bull be one of the four bestial rulers.¡± Seeing the Terra Bull Tyrant copse on the ground, the five snake kings were full of themselves as they mocked him. They thought it was very hard to defeat the Terra Bull Tyrant without the help of the Wind Serpent King and the supreme-ranked snakes; however, who would have thought that it only took around four minutes to defeat the Mighty Terra Bull Tyrant. Therefore, they could not help but mock the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°Haha¡­is that so?¡± To their surprise, they heard the Terra Bull Tyrant on the ground startughing at them. ¡°You are really a dumbheaded bull. Whoughs when their body ispletely covered in blood?¡± Even though the five snake kings didn¡¯t understand why the Terra Bull Tyrant wouldugh, they were confident that the Terra Bull Tyrant had already lost the fight against them. Even if they didn¡¯t kill him personally, the Terra Bull Tyrant could eventually die due to the heavy blood loss. ¡°It was not me who is dumb but you.¡± The Terra Bull Tyrant scoffed at the five snake kings as he continued, ¡°Why don¡¯t you turn your heads and see what¡¯s happening to your underlings.¡± ¡®Hiss~¡¯ ¡®Huh? What¡¯s happening?¡¯ The five snake kings hissed in confusion as they turned their heads to look in the distance. ¡®What?¡¯ After seeing what¡¯s happening in the distance, the five snake kings were shocked and soon became furious. A few kilometers away from their location, they saw all their supreme-ranked underlings killed by Leo. What¡¯s more, the hundreds of thousands of low-level snakes were being killed by Leo, whereas those low-level snakes were staying still without doing anything and letting him kill. ¡°Idiots, while fighting, you shouldplely focus on your opponent until he is dead.¡± ¡®Moow¡¯ [Rage of the Mighty Bull] As the five snake kings were furious to see Leo¡¯s bold actions, they heard Sutin¡¯s words followed by a loud bellow. ¡°What?¡± They hurriedly turned their heads only to see three Terra Bull Tyrants that rushed towards them and stomped them to the ground. ¡°Whoever call me a dumb should go to death.¡± ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ The three Terra Bull Tyrants said the same thing in unison as they stomped the three fire snake kings: The Fire Viper King, The Earth Python King and The Water Basilisk King. ¡°Damn it¡­how can you still move after having so many injuries on your body?¡± The three Terra Bull Tyrants have the same injuries as the Terra Bull Tyrant they saw earlier. So, the Lightning Naga King and the Nether Naga King were shocked to see the three Terra Bull Tyrants could move even in that state. ¡°Do you think anyone can be the Bestial rulers?¡± After stomping the three snake kings to death in less than five seconds, the three Terra Bull Tyrants merged back into a single Terra Bull Tyrant as he asked the two remaining snake kings with a scoff. ¡°How can you still move after losing so much body?¡± The two Naga Kings were shocked as they didn¡¯t know what to do after the death of the three snake kings. Nevertheless, in the next second, they saw something they never expected. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ The huge cut from the lightning sh and two holes from the Nether Fang started healing at an incredible because of the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s passive talent [Earth Healing]. ¡°How is this possible? How?¡± The two Naga Kings finally understood that they didn¡¯t know much about these bestial rulers because they never fought with their true power in front of others. They fought with their full prowess during the world assessment; however, back then, these snake kings were yet to arrive in this world. ¡°Another thing, I am the weakest and the least intelligent bestial ruler among the four bestial rulers and you can¡¯t even oversmart me or defeat me in raw strength. Do you still think you have a chance to conquer this world?¡± Until a few moments back, the five snake kings were mocking him; however, it was Sutin who was mocking them. ¡°What?¡± The two Naga Kings kept getting shocked as they listened to the Terra Bull Tyrant¡¯s words. ¡°Also, how does it feel to get fooled by the dumb headed bull?¡± Thest line was what Sutin was waiting to say to the two snake kings because he was fooling them for the entire time by getting injured. Previously, Leo ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant to take the five snake kings as far as possible for their position so that Leo could have no problem killing all the supreme-ranked snakes and the low-level snakes. Therefore, Sutin fooled the five snake kings by acting weak and letting them feel so full of themselves that they failed to notice that Sutin was taking them away from Leo and the other snakes. ¡°It feels good to fool others.¡± It was Sutin¡¯s first time fooling others on his own, making him greatly excited. ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to send you away.¡± [Condensing Earth Prison] In the next second, four earth walls rose from the ground and imprisoned the two Naga Snake Kings, and soon, they started closing, trying to squeeze the Lightning Naga King and the Nether Naga King to death. Until an hour back, they thought they would conquer the Beas. Until a minute back, after seeing the weak battle prowess of the Terra Bull Tyrant, their confidence rose, and they thought they could easily be the new rulers of the Beas. And now, the reality had hit the two Naga Kings so hard that they felt all the muscles in their bodies be weak. ¡®As long as we are alive, we can take revenge.¡¯ Inside the huge box formed from the earth walls that were closing, the two Naga Kings came out of shock and decided to escape from there as they finally realized they were not a match for the Terra Bull Tyrant from the beginning. ¡°Sutin, what are you waiting for? Just kill them.¡± Leo¡¯s voice resounded from behind as he asked the Terra Bull Tyrant to kill the two Naga Kings. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± ¡®m¡¯ In the next second, the four earth walls moved closer in less than a second as they squeezed the two Naga Kings to death, After squeezing the two Naga Kings to death, the earth walls disappeared, revealing a ttened corpse. ¡°It¡¯s devouring time.¡± ***** Liking the story?

Chapter 213 [Bonus chapter] Crazy Farming of Talents and Skills ¡°It¡¯s devouring time.¡± The devil¡¯s mouth on Leo¡¯s left palm appeared as it became excited looking at the corpses of the five snake kings. Without wasting any time, Leo started devouring them. Previously, Leo couldn¡¯t devour the corpses that were killed by others. However, after devouring more than a hundred supreme-ranked snakes and millions of low-ranked snakes, his talent [Absolute Devour] has been upgraded to level 9. Since [Absolute Devour] is a special talent, it unlocked a new effect after reaching level 9. ording to that effect, Leo could now devour the supreme-ranked beast corpses that were killed by others and trigged the other effects of the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Most of the experience came from devouring the Wind Serpent King¡¯s corpse that upgraded the [Absolute Devour].¡¯ Even though he devoured millions of snakes, it was still less than the experience provided by the Wind Serpent King. ¡®After devouring all those serpents, I got five new talents and 10 new skills.¡¯ Since there were five different types of snakes, he could trigger the [Absolute Devour] three times each for the five types of snake he devoured. So, overall, he trigged 15 times before his chances of awakening reduced to one percent. Adding to the talents and skills he gained from the Wind Serpents, he gained more than 20 talents and skillsbined. So far, it is the highest number of talents and skills he awakened in a single day.-. ¡®The only sad thing is I was unable to awaken any special talents; however, awakening one special talent today was already great. I should stop being greedy.¡¯ Leo shook his head and continued with his thinking. ¡®Also, another reward I got today is a new title [Serpent yer].¡¯ Leo generally does not smile a lot; however, today, he was smiling a lot because he got so many rewards. ¡®Ding, Title name: Serpent yer. Effect: 1) The six types of snakes will have their battle prowess decreased by 50 percent. Six types of snake are Wind Serpents, Fire Vipers, Earth Pythons, Water Basilisk, Lightning Nagas and Nether Nagas. 2) The remaining snake-type beasts and monsters will have their battle prowess decreased by 25 percent. Note: 1) effects one and two can¡¯t be stacked. 2) The title can¡¯t be stacked with other titles. The effects of the [Serpent yer], [Spider Killer], and [Bull Executioneer] were the same, and they could not be stacked with one another. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t think it was much of a drawbackpared to the effects the titles provided him. ¡®I can always change the titles depending upon the opponent I fight.¡¯ Leo was greatly excited with the number of titles because, during the assessment, there would be various types of monsters and mutated beasts. Among them, Leo could now suppress the battle prowess of all snake-type, spider-type, and bull-type monsters and beasts by 25 percent, enough to easily change the tides of the battle. ¡®From what I noticed so far, I should kill more than one million beasts or monsters from the same race to awaken a title rted to the race.¡¯ Other than his already nned goals, Leo added another to that list; it was to awaken a few more titles before the World Assessment starts. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ As Leo was lost in his thoughts, he received two system notifications that gave him another pleasant surprise. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed a level 5 Lightning Naga King¡¯s corpse. New special talent is awakened. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed a level 5 Nether Naga King¡¯s corpse. New special talent is awakened. From the five snake king corpses Leo consumed, he could awaken two talents; to his surprise, those two talents were special ones. ¡®Today, I have awakened three special talents. Who would have thought I would be blessed with too much luck.¡¯ Leo could not help but feel very lucky and muttered, ¡®Finally, I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7.¡¯ ¡®Before upgrading it, let¡¯s see what the two newly awakened talents are.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t check the talents directly; instead, he decided to rest in the Wind Serpent King¡¯s canyon. ¡­. In a spacious cave inside the canyon, ¡®Let me see two newly awakened special talents.¡¯ After settling inside the cave, Leo focused on the two newly awakened special talents. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Call of the Lightning (level 1). Talent Type: Special. Effect: The user can summon a single lightning sh from the sky to hit a single target with 100 percent lightning damage. ¡®What? 100 percent lightning damage at Level 1?¡¯ Leo was shocked to see the damage caused by one of his two newly awakened talents was so high. As far as Leo knew, the serious damage that a level 1 skill could do is 20 percent, and most of them only do 10 percent of the damage. Therefore,pared with those talents, this new talent was on a new level 1. ¡®If this talent could deal such damage at level 1, I wonder how much it will do at level 7.¡¯ Without hesitation, Leo upgraded the [Call of the Lightning] from level 1 to level 7 using the [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, It requires 2626000 [Promote Points] to upgrade a special talent like [Call of the Lightning] from level 1 to level 7. ¡®Ding, Do you still want to upgrade it? ¡®Upgrade¡¯ The only thing that Leo has right now is [Promote Points]. Hence, he directly ordered the system to upgrade. ¡®Ding, The [Call of the Lightning] has been upgraded to level 7. Please check the details in the [User Innterface]. ¡®Check¡¯ He upgraded the [Call of the Lighnting] to satisfy his curiosity regarding how powerful the talent would be at level 7. ¡®Ding, ***** Author Notes: Required [Promote Points] to upgrade the talents for various levels. For Normal Talents: From Level 1 to Level 2 = 1000 [Promote Points]. From Level 2 to Level 3 = 2000 [Promote Points]. From Level 3 to Level 4 = 10000 [Promote Points]. From Level 4 to Level 5 = 100000 [Promote Points]. From Level 5 to Level 6 = 200000 [Promote Points]. From Level 6 to Level 7 = One Million [Promote Points]. For a Special Talent, it requires double points as that of normal talent. ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 214 [Nether Domain] ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Call of the Lightning (level 7). Talent Type: Special. Effect: The user can summon seven lightning shes from the sky to hit seven targets with 300 percent lightning damage. Note: Even though each lightning sh hits only a single target chosen by the user, it causes coteral damage to the target¡¯s surroundings in a 10-meter radius. Soon, the information about level 7 [Call of the Lightning ] appeared before Leo. ¡®300 percent damage? It¡¯s more. Moreover, the number of lightning shes I can summon has increased from one to seven. I think it is rted to the level of the talent without a doubt.¡¯ Even though there was only a single effect for the [Call of the Lighting], the damage dealt to his enemies was enough to satisfy Leo with his talent. Of course, he could not kill the supreme-ranked target with the talent because it was still a level 7. Even if it deals 300 percent lightning damage, it would not be enough to injure a supreme-ranked being, not to mention killing them would be impossible. ¡®However, if I can upgrade it to level 9, then I can kill a level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked being even without any title.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have exact data regarding that; however, he was sure that he would have no problem killing level 2 supreme-ranked beings with a level 9 [Call of the Lightning] ¡®If I can find an Innate Elemental Spirit Fruit for this talent and mutate it, then it might be even more powerful; however, finding those fruits was already difficult, and lightning elemental fruit was even more difficult.¡¯ As the saying goes, a human always wants more, and there is nothing that would make him satisfied. ¡®After the appearance of the portals and world assessments, no matter how powerful I be, it is not enough. Therefore, I should never be content with what I have.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t mind bing greedy for power; however, he didn¡¯t want to chase after the power for his whole life and wanted to give preference to his family and friends.-. For that, he needs to be powerful enough to face any danger. ¡®The first and foremost danger is the world assessment. I need to be powerful enough to stop them or at least protect my family and friends.¡¯ After thinking about his family and friends, Leo checked his other special talent. ¡®Ding, Talent name: Nether Domain (Level 1). Talent Type: Special. Talent Effect: Upon activation, the user is surrounded by a thinyer of ck-coloured smoke for a 10-meter radius which reduces the battle prowess of all the targets that enter that range by one percent. Note: The effect of this talent can be stacked with simr effects of other talents. ¡®Huh? Only one percent?¡¯ Ajax frowned and thought, ¡®One percent of the reduction in the battle prowess is a little too low, but since it is still a level 1, I think I have to upgrade it.¡¯ Leo wanted to upgrade this talent; however, he decided to wait until he upgraded the [Talent Promoter] to level 7. ¡®Show me the upgrade requirements of the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Until the other talents, the [Talent Promoter] shows the upgrade requirements for the next level. ¡®Ding, [Talent Promoter] upgrade requirements. 1) Upgrade three special talents from Elite ss to Advanced ss (3/3). [Complete]. 2) Upgrade three normal talents from Elite ss to Advanced ss (2/3). [Iplete]. 3) Spend ten million [Promote Points]. [The user has enough points]. ¡®I have five new normal talents. Let¡¯s upgrade one of them.¡¯ Leo had a fruitful day where he got so many new talents and skills. Hence, he didn¡¯t waste time and checked the five new normal talents. ¡®Ding, Newly awakened normal talents. 1) Lightning Resistance. 2) Nether Vision. 3) Fire Bullets. 4) Underwater Breathing. 5) Earth Camouge. Soon, the list of five normal talents he gained from devouring appeared before him. ¡®They can be useful in some situations.¡¯ Among the five new talents, four were supportive-type talents that can be used in different situations, and as for the [Fire Bullets], it was an average talent. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t mind having these talents because he always thinks ¡®Having something is better than nothing.¡¯ Since Leo didn¡¯t get any warning from the system regarding the limit of his talents and skills, he didn¡¯t mind having as many skills and talents. ¡®In the worst case, I will merge them and make them powerful; if they fail, they will be destroyed anyway.¡¯ Leo was not worried much about it as he picked [Lightning Resistance] to upgrade. ¡®Ding, The host spent 1313000 [Promote Points] and upgraded it from level 1 to level 7. Since it was a normal talent, Leo spent half of what he spent on the [Call of the Lightning]. ¡®Ding, The host has fulfilled the main upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter]. Please spend 10 million [Promote Points] to upgrade it to level 7. ¡®Upgrade.¡¯ Leo had been waiting for this moment for a while. Therefore, when he saw the system notification, he upgraded it by spending 10 million [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, 10 million [Promote Points] are deducted. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Promoter] is upgraded to level 7. Please check more details in the [User Interface]. ¡®I hope I can upgrade my talents to level 9 now.¡¯ With a head full of expectations, Leo checked the details on level 7 [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Talent Promoter (Level 7). Talent Type: Special. Talent Effect: 1) The user can upgrade any talent from level 1 to level 7. 2) The user can upgrade only one level 7 talent to level 9 at one time. Note: 1) The host has to upgrade a talent to peak level 9 before upgrading a new level 7 talent. 2) A special effect will be unlocked at level 9. ¡®Phew¡­finally, I can upgrade the talent to level 9 using the [Promoter Points].¡¯ Soon, the brief information about the [Talent Promoter] appeared in front of him, making him reveal a slight smile. Even though he could upgrade only a single talent to level 7 at once, it was enough for Leo¡­at least, for now, it would be sufficient. ¡®I just have to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] further to get more upgrading slots for the Advanced talents.¡¯ Until now, the [Talent Promoter]¡¯s upgrade requirements asked him to upgrade more talents. It might be hard for regr humans; however, it was just a piece of cake for him. ¡®As long as there are enough beasts and monsters, I can get as many talents and skills as I want.¡¯ Leo slightly smiled as he checked the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®I wonder how many normal and special talents I have to upgrade this time?¡¯ This was the question in Leo¡¯s head; however, Leo¡¯s jaws dropped after seeing the holographic screen in front of him. ¡®It looks like the difficulty has finally increased in upgrading the [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Looking at the three upgrade requirements in front of him, Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®It will take quite some time to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 8.¡¯ **** Author¡¯s note: Leo¡¯s entire [User Interface] will be shown in theing chapters. The readers will see all his talents, skills, titles, and levels. ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 215 Spending Millions of [Promote Points] ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements to level 8: 1) Upgrade a special talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (0/1). [Iplete]. 2) Upgrade a normal talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (0/1). [Iplete]. 3) Spend twenty million [Promote Points]. [The user has enough points]. The reason why Leo felt it would take quite some time to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] was that it required him to upgrade the talents manually by repeated usage of the talents instead of [Promote Points] or the devouring experience from the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®It was not difficult; however, it is just a time-consuming process.¡¯ Since Leo could finally upgrade the talents to level 9 using the [Promote Points], he decided to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] slowly. ¡®Anyway, it is time to upgrade my [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] before eating the Supreme Innate Earth Fruit.¡¯ Leo had two Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits and decided to upgrade [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] and [Poison Tempest]. To fully use the Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits, the talents must be level 9. Therefore, Leo decided to upgrade them to level 9 using [Promote Points] before eating the Supreme Inanate Elemental Fruits. ¡®Upgrade [Mega Terra Bull Transformation].¡¯-. ¡®Ding, It requires 20 million [Promote Points] to upgrade [Mega Terra Bull Transformation]. Since it was a special talent, Leo needed to spend 20 million instead of 10 million [Promote Points] ¡¯20 million [Promote Points] is huge; however, it is justified for an instant upgrade from level 7 to 8.¡¯ After spending a few days in the Beas, Leo learned that it was very easy to get the [Promote Points]. Even if he spends 20 million [Promote Points], Leo still leaves with around 50 million [Promote Points] that he umted from killing millions of snakes, terra bulls, metal-wed vultures, water spiders, and even ming lions. Not to mention, until yesterday, all his undead beings were non-stop farming for the [Promote Points] in the Solitary Forest. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ ¡®Ding, 20 million [Promote Points] are deducted, and [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] is upgraded to level 8. ¡®Ding, It requires 40 million [Promote Points] to upgrade [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] to level 9. ¡®Upgrade¡¯ ¡®Ding, 20 million [Promote Points] are deducted, and [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] is upgraded to level 9. ¡®Ding, The remaining [Promote Points] = 10.3 Million. Leo didn¡¯t bother to change the changes in the talent as his end goal was to have a level 9 [Mega Terra Bull Transformation]. So, he spent 40 million [Promote Points] to upgrade the special talent. After that, he has left with 10 million [Promote Points], insufficient to upgrade another special talent to level 9. ¡®It looks like I have to start farming for the [Promote Points] again.¡¯ Leo was not worried about the [Promote Points] because there were millions of monsters in the Beas and the human world. All he needed to do was kill the monsters and beast and get the [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, For the upgrade [Mega Terra Bull Transformation], the host needs 100 million [Promote Points] and [100 Supreme Promote Points]. As Leo was thinking about farming for [Promote Points] after eating the [Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit], he received a system notification that made him frown. ¡®That¡¯s right! I forgot I can upgrade a talent to peak level 9.¡¯ With level 7 [Talent Promoter], as long as he had enough [Promote Points], he could upgrade a talent to peak level 9; however, Leo was focused on upgrading talent to level 9, so he forgot about it. ¡®However, isn¡¯t it a little too much?¡¯ Every time Leo guesses the price for the next upgrade for talent, the system keeps proving his guess wrong as it is increased by multiple times. ¡®I can finally use the [Supreme Promote Points].¡¯ By now, Leo had umted around three thousand [Supreme Promote Points], and he had been curious about them for a while now. Now, he had finally learned their use in upgrading his talents. ¡®Since I can¡¯t upgrade another special talent, I will consume the [Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit] and try to mutate it before merging all my simr talents and skills.¡¯ Leo had more than twenty talents and skills, and a few of them had simr effects, and he decided to merge them before going out to farm for [Promote Points]. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Gulp¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host consumed a Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. Please endure the pain if there is any. Soon, the system notification rang in his head as Leo closed his eyes and focused on the energy he received from consuming the fruit. ¡®I hope it gets mutated.¡¯ Who doesn¡¯t want their talents to be mutated? Even if it was a normal talent, everyone wants it as it might turn a normal talent into a special talent. Leo was the same as he got ready to endure the pain. ¡­ In the Emberfields, ¡°Huh? He killed the six snake kings?¡¯ In the biggest den of the Emberfields, Fury woke up from his sleep when Skye informed Leo¡¯s achievements in the Naga¡¯s territory, giving him quite a surprise. After killing the snake kings, Leo sent Skye, the ming Lion guide he brought with him, back to the Emberfields as his goal of awakening a special wind talent had beenpleted. ¡°Your Majesty, Sir Leo is just a rank 9 human, but he is already so powerful that he single-handedly killed the Wind Serpent King on his own along with hundreds of supreme-ranked snakes.¡± Skye exined everything to Fury in full detail as he continued, ¡°What¡¯s more, not only did he kill millions of snakes, he even devoured all of them. If he bes powerful, it might be a threat to you, your majesty.¡± Skye respectfully showed his concern about Leo¡¯s powers. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much, Skye. I already thought about it and came up with a n.¡± With a little chuckle, Fury asked Skye to not worry about Leo before saying, ¡°Lionel has been using your absence as an excuse to evade his training. Go and train him properly.¡± ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± Soon, Skye left the den, and Fury thought, ¡®I can only hope my thoughts about him will be true.¡¯ With that thought in his mind, Fury went back to his sleep. ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 216 [Bonus chapter]System 3.0 Available After 12 hours, ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] is upgraded to peak level 9. ¡®Ding, This special effect of the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit has failed. 12 hours after consuming the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit, Leo received a few system notifications that disappointed him. Because the so-called special effect was none other than mutating the talent. ¡®It looks like I have used up all my luck earlier.¡¯ Leo shook his head and stopped thinking about the failed mutation; instead, he decided to check the upgrade requirements for the [Mega Terra Bull Tranformation]. Since the talent has reached peak level 9, the system would show the upgrade requirements, and uponpletion of these upgrade requirements, Leo could safely promote his talents to the supreme grade. ¡®Even if Iplete the upgrade requirements, I can¡¯t upgrade the talents to supreme rank; however, that doesn¡¯t mean I have to wait until Iplete the revenge.¡¯ Leo remembered the words the system had left regarding his inner demon. ¡®The moment I finish my revenge, I can directly upgrade as many talents as possible into the supreme ss. So, isn¡¯t it better to be ready bypleting the upgrade requirements for the peak level 9 talents?¡¯-. This was the thought in his mind as he checked the upgrade requirements. ¡®Ding, Please fulfil the following requirements to upgrade the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] into a Supreme ss Talent. 1) One special upgrade stone or Three advanced upgrade stones. 2) Make at least one rank 9 or above-ranked follower from five different Bull Tribes (1/5). ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was speechless for a moment, looking at the upgrade requirements before thinking, ¡®If I want to upgrade a transformation-type into a supreme ss talent, do I have to make my own followers from that race or tribe?¡¯ His other talent [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] has simr upgrade requirements; however, it only requires him to have three lion followers from different lion tribes. This talent requires him to make five followers from different bull tribes. ¡®I think these talents want me to make an army of the beast I can transform into.¡¯ Leo smiled slightly before finding another important thing, ¡®I need to start umting the advanced upgrade stones.¡¯ Advanced upgrade stones are rtively easy to findpared to the special upgrade stone. Therefore, he decided to keep an eye for them. ¡®Let¡¯s merge some talents and skills.¡¯ After keeping note of the upgrade requirements for his third peak level 9 talent, Leo decided to merge simr talents and skills. ¡®Ding, Wind Bomb + Fire Bomb = [Dual Elemental Bomb] (Fire and Wind). ¡®Ding, eleration + Speed Rush = [Advanced eleration]. . . . . Compared to his talents, Leo found there were many skills with simr effects, which made him easy to merge. Leo continued to merge one skill after another. Even though he failed to merge a couple of times and lost two skills in the whole process; however, Leo was not sad about it as both skills were below-average. Moreover, he had enough skills to cover for them; what¡¯s more, in the future, he would get even more. ¡®Even though losing the skills or talents are not a big deal for me, I still need to be careful not to lose to the special and powerful normal talents like [Spatial sh].¡¯ Whenever there was a failure in the merging process, Leo would take a break of an hour or so and rest before resuming it. ¡®I wonder whether I can merge two skills or talents that were already merged once or not?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t know everything about the [Talent Merging Ability]; instead, he was learning more and more about it by repeatedly using that ability. Hence, he decided to check whether it was possible or not to merge the already merged talents. ¡®Merge the two [Dual Elemental Bomb]s.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo chose to merge the two already merged skills. Currently, Leo had two [Dual Elemental Bomb] skills; however, the two elements in the two skills were different. In one skill, the two elements are Water and Earth, whereas, in the other skill, it is Fire and Wind. ¡®Ding, The host couldn¡¯t merge two already merged skills or talents at the current level of the [Talent Merging Ability]. ¡®As I expected, I can¡¯t upgrade them so easily.¡¯ Leo was not disappointed; instead, he nodded with a satisfied look. ¡®Now, it is time to farm for [Promote Points] and upgrade the [Poison Tempest] and [Earth Maniption].¡¯ After merging all the skills and talents he was confident in, Leo took half a day¡¯s rest before walking out of the cave with some goal. His main goals are: 1) Farm as many [Promote Points] as possible. 2) Upgrade [Poison Tempest] to level 9 by devouring the corpses. Note: At level 8, he has to use the talent 100 times if he wants to upgrade it to level 9 using the [Absolute Devour]. 3) Upgrade the talent [Earth Manipton] to peak level 9, which was less close to bing one. As for the other goals, he decided to focus on upgrading a level 7 special talent and a normal talent to level 9 by the traditional method without any help from [Talent Promoter] and [Absolute Devour]. Last but not least is to upgrade the newly merged skills to level 8 and then to peak level 9 to unlock their upgrade requirements. ¡°Time to farm.¡± Soon, he sent Sutin back into the Beast Storage Device before starting his hunt in the wilderness of the Beas. ¡­. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, five days passed. [Poison Tempest] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A huge light green-coloured tornado formed in front of Leo as it swallowed hundreds of rank 9 and below-ranked beasts into it. Even though the tornado was not very violent, the poison inside that tornado killed all the beasts as he received the system notifications regarding the killings. ¡®Ding, The System has finally finished its upgrade. Suddenly, Leo received a system notification that made him momentarily stunned before making him reveal a slight on his cold face. ¡®Finally, the upgrade ispleted. Time to check for the changes and new things avable in the system.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 217 Rewards for Upgrading the System ¡®Finally, the upgrade ispleted. Time to check for the changes and new things avable in the system.¡¯ For thest five days, Leo was focused entirely on the goals he had set for himself and slowlypleting them one by one. However, he didn¡¯t forget about the system upgrade as he was curious about waiting for it. ¡®Ding, The system has been sessfully upgraded. ¡®Ding, Since the host has given up on upgrading to the supreme rank and chose to upgrade the system, the system will thank the host with the following items. ¡®Ding, 1) One special upgrade stone. 2) One beast evolution crystal. 3) 10 percent potential increase for any level 9 talent. 4) 50 percent potential increase for any level 8 talent.-. 5) 100 percent potential increase for any level 7 talent. Before Leo could check the changes in the system after the upgrade, he received a series of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him. Like before, the system gained him some rewards for upgrading it; however,pared to the past, the rewards these times were very generous as the system gave him five rewards in a single go. ¡®After the upgrade, the system has be very generous.¡¯ Leomented on the system before checking for the changes in system 3.0. As for rewards, Leo knew the usage of everything, so he didn¡¯t bother to check them as he was more interested in the changes in the system. ¡®System, give me the brief information on the changes that came with the upgrade.¡¯ Since the system hadpleted its upgrade, Leo could directly ask it to do things for him. Therefore, he asked the system to brief him about the changes in the system. ¡®Ding, The cooldown for the [Talent swallowing ability] has been reduced to one month. ¡®Ding, The [Talent Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded from level 2 to level 4. ¡®Ding, The [Talent Merging Ability] has been upgraded. The host can now merge two different talents into a single talent. Note: However, it is better to have the same level as the chances of failure while merging the different talents or skills are also increased. After receiving Leo¡¯s order, the system informed the changes in the host¡¯s three system abilities, making Leo excited. ¡®Only one month? Excellent.¡¯ Leo was expecting the cooldown to reduce to three months; however, it was reduced to one month, making him pleasantly surprised. ¡®However, what pleasantly surprised him was the double upgrade in the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. With level 4 [Talent Swallowing Abilitiy], I can try helping the humans of this world.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t forget about the humans that someone enved in this world. Since his [Talent Swallowing Ability] was only at level 2, Leo didn¡¯t dare to rush things as he waited for the system to finish its upgrade because he was expecting an upgrade in the system abilities. Therefore, he was slightly excited when he saw that [Talent Swallowing Ability] was upgraded to level 4. ¡®As for the [Talent Merging Ability]¡¯s upgrade, it is also not bad as I can now merge the talents and skills regardless of their elements or effects.¡¯ Even though the failure rate was high, Leo was more than willing to merge them because the effects of a merged talent or a skill were more powerful than the two individual skills or talents. ¡®Is there any new ability I can get this time?¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo asked for a new ability. Previously, when he upgraded the system, he was not only rewarded with a new system feature but also with a choice to pick one of the three system abilities. That¡¯s how Leo gained the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. Therefore, Leo could not help but ask the system about it. ¡®Ding, The host will be allowed to pick an ability from the below list. ¡®Ding, 1) Talent Blessing Ability: The host can bless one of his talents to his friends or followers. 2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed. 3) Bloodline swallowing ability: The host can swallow the bloodlines from the enemies. Note: All these abilities have various limitations, which would only be shown after the host picks one of the abilities. As soon as Leo asked the system about the new ability, the system showed him three abilities and asked him to pick one. ¡®In the ce of the [Talent Swallowing Ability], there is a new ability.¡¯ The list of the abilities was the same; however, a new ability had appeared in the ce of the ability he picked previously. ¡®With that ability, I can give my talents to others. It was a very useful ability to have as I can increase the battle prowess of my friends and followers.¡¯ Leo was a little surprised to learn that he could give his talents to others. ¡®However, there is some problem.¡¯ After reading the note at the end of the holographic screen, Leo thought of a problem. Except for the [True Pill Swallower], the other two abilities¡¯ limitations made Leo hesitate to choose between them. Even though the [True Pill Swallower] seemed useful, Leo felt the other two were more useful. Still, without the information on the limitations of those two abilities, Leo was not sure which ability was the best. ¡®Wait a second¡­why am I thinking too much?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo realized something and hurriedly chose, ¡®I will choose [Talent Blessing Abiliity].¡¯ Since the day for the assessment of his world was getting nearer, Leo needed to increase the battle prowess of his friends and family. Therefore he chose it over the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability]. ¡®Even though I don¡¯t know what type of limitations it has, I hope it can help me increase the battle prowess of my friends and family.¡¯ Leo silently hoped as he waited for the system to add this new ability to his [User Interface]. ¡®Ding, A new ability, the [Talent Blessing Ability], has been added to the host¡¯s [User Interface]. Please check more information in the [User Interface]. ¡®Let¡¯s see what its limitations are.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo checked the full information on the [Talent Blessing Ability]. ¡®Ding, ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 218 New System Ability All the system abilities that Leo received so far had many limitations in the beginning. Firstly, the [Talent Swallowing Ability] was a great ability that anyone could yearn for; however, to swallow a single new talent, one has to wait for an entire year. His second ability is the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. He could only swallow the level 1 seals and could upgrade it slowly to devour the high-level seals. As for the [Talent Merging Ability], the talent or skills needed to be at the same level, same elements, and same effect, even when following these requirements, Leo failed a couple of times. So, he was hoping the [Talent Blessing Ability] didn¡¯t have many limitations. ¡®Ding, Ability Name: Talent Blessing Ability. Effect: The host can bless others with a talent he wants to bless. Cooldown: One Week. Note: 1) The host can¡¯t bless the same person twice. 2) No matter how high the talent level is, the received talent¡¯s level will start from level 1. 3) The host can¡¯t bless the supreme-ranked beings. Soon, the information about his new system ability appeared before him. ¡®Cooldown is only a week? Phew¡­it¡¯s good.¡¯ Leo¡¯s eyes werepletely on the cooldown because if the cooldown was one year or even if it was six months, it would be useless for his goal. However, after seeing the cooldown for only a week, Leo heaved a sigh of relief before checking other things.-. ¡®Great. The limitations for this ability are not heavy. I picked the right ability then.¡¯ Even though Leo knew that [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] was powerful, it would not be very useful for him¡­at least for now because to swallow the bloodlines, he had to find someone with a bloodline. Even in a grade 1 world like Beas, no one below the supreme rank awakened a bloodline. But, of course, Lionel was an exception. ¡®Even level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beasts and monsters didn¡¯t have any bloodline. As for the level 3 and above supreme-ranked beast, the system didn¡¯t show their information. So, I don¡¯t know whether they have it or not.¡¯ Leo thought about it and concluded, ¡®I doubt they would have any bloodline though.¡¯ He came to that conclusion because even Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant, didn¡¯t have a bloodline. Therefore, the chances of other supreme-ranked beasts and monsters having a bloodline were not that high. ¡®My world is yet to finish its first world assessment, I doubt I can find a handful of heroes with bloodlines.¡¯ Leo had already thought about these things before picking the [Talent Blessing Ability], and after reading the information on his new ability, Leo was fully satisfied with his choice. ¡®Anyway, I think I can pick those abilities after the next upgrade. For that, I need God Stones.¡¯ Leo silently muttered and thought, ¡®Since the system is upgraded, it is time to wrap the things here.¡¯ Leo revealed a cold smile looking at the hundreds of thousands of corpses around him. [Absolute Devour] Without wasting any time, Leo summoned the devil¡¯s mouth on his left palm, which extended its tongue and licked Leo¡¯s palm in excitement. Soon, Leo cleared the entire surroundings, not leaving a single corpse behind, and was satisfied with the talents and skills he awakened. ¡®It¡¯s time to merge.¡¯ ¡­ After 30 minutes, ¡®Finally¡­I have finished merging and gained some powerful talents and skills.¡¯ Leo stretched his body with a satisfied look and muttered, ¡®Time to see profile.¡¯ [User Interface] With a thought, a holographic screen filled with Leo¡¯splete information appeared before him. ¡®Ding, Host Name: Leo.

System Features: 1) User Interface. 2) Appraisal. 3) Mission Tab. ¡®Who would have thought I would reach this level after killing my ve Master and getting cursed with a Forbidden Curse?¡¯ Leo had never imagined bing this powerful when he first gained the system; however, looking at the profile, he could not help but reminisce about his past. ¡®Now, I am very confident in passing the uing world assessment.¡¯ Even though Leo was yet to be a supreme rank hero, it was just within his reach. When he finishes his revenge for his adoptive parents, he will have at least five supreme ss talents. At that time, he could kill the supreme-ranked beings with a flick of his finger. ¡®Even though I want to merge my special talents, I could not risk failure. So, except for one, I didn¡¯t dare to merge the special talent randomly.¡¯ ¡®All my skills have reached level 8, and I even used more than 50 times each for nearly 70 percent of the skills. By the time I leave Beas, I can upgrade 95 percent of my skills to level 9 without a doubt.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t worry about the monsters and beasts would be decreased because whenever Leo killed and devoured these monsters and beasts, portals would appear and throw more monsters into the Beas. That¡¯s how, even after he killed millions of beasts and monsters in the wilderness, there were still enough for him to farm more [Promote Points], skill and Talents. ¡®Thanks to continuous farming from thest few days, I havepleted almost all of my goals and I canplete all of them in the next few days.¡¯ During thest five days, Leo had killed and devoured millions of monsters in the wilderness; however, there were still enough monsters for him to achieve his goals. ¡®I finally understood why the ming Lion King didn¡¯t bother to clear all these monsters in the wilderness, because it is impossible topletely eradicate all the monsters as a mysterious force would keep on replenishing the monsters.¡¯ Leo got this new revtion from his adventure in the Beas. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s stop thinking about these things and use the rewards from the system upgrade before paying a visit to the Human Territory in this world.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo started using the rewards from earlier. ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 219 [Bonus chapter]Starlight Spatial Tree ¡°Sutin, use it and finish evolving. If you are lucky, you might evolve into an intelligent beast.¡± Leo threw the Beast Evolution Crystal at the sleeping Terra Bull Tyrant and asked him to consume it. ¡°What? Evolving into an intelligent beast? Is it really possible?¡± The sleepy Terra Bull Tyrant was no longer sleepy when he heard Leo¡¯s words. After experiencing how it feels after fooling the five snake kings, Sutin¡¯s determination to be an intelligent beast has increased even more. Therefore, when he heard Leo¡¯s words, he hurriedly asked whether bing an intelligent beast was possible? ¡°As long as you follow me, I will turn into an intelligent beast even without any external items; however, with an evolution, your chances of bing an intelligent beast in a short time are very high.¡± What Leo said was true because whenever a beast or monster mutates, its physical capability, talents, skills, and intelligence also increases. Even though it was not guaranteed, the chances are high. Moreover, there is no harm in evolving as it was guaranteed to increase the battle prowess of that beast or monster. ¡®Gulp¡¯ After hearing Leo¡¯s words, the Terra Bull Tyrant didn¡¯t waste any time and consumed the Beast Evolution Crystal.-. ¡®I want to use the Special Upgrade Stone to upgrade my [Poison Tempest].¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t pay any more attention to the Terra Bull Tyrannt as he had things to take care of. His [Poison Tempest] was at level 8, and with the help of a special upgrade stone, he could upgrade it to level 9. ¡®Even though these Special Upgrade Stones are one of the requirements for my peak level 9 talents to reach Supreme ss, upgrading the [Poison Tempest] was also equally important.¡¯ Since he has a Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit, Leo wanted to use its effect fully, and it would be only possible if the talent is at level 9. ¡®Ding, Consumed a Special Upgrade Stone and upgraded the [Poison Tempest] to level 9 (Potential 0/100). Without any surprise, his special talent upgraded. ¡®Before upgrading, I should use the remaining three rewards.¡¯ However, Leo didn¡¯t eat the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit; instead, he opened his profile to pick three talents to use the remaining three rewards. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s level 9 talent [Space Maniupuation] received a +10 percent increase in its potential. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s level 8 talent [Nether Domain] received a +50 percent increase in its potential. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s level 7 talent [Mighty Bull Tamer] received a +100 percent increase in its potential. Soon, the potential for selected talents increased, as mentioned in the rewards. ¡®Now, it is time to consume the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit.¡¯ Leo consumed the light green-coloured fruit without wasting any time with the expectations of the mutation. Even if the talent was not mutated, he decided to be content with upgrading the talent to peak level 9. One man and one huge bull were sitting in the cave as they absorbed the energy inside their body. One is trying to evolve, and the other is trying to mutate who will seed and fail; only time will tell. ¡­. In the Human Territory of the Beas, ¡®Arlo, did you find it?¡¯ Outside a huge tree, Aurora asked her brother for something in a low voice. ¡®Sister, I found it; however, are you really sure it will work?¡¯ In the next second, Arlo replied in a low voice from the space inside the tree. ¡®Shut up and get out of the treasury before they notice us.¡¯ Upon hearing the angry voice of his sister, Arlo didn¡¯t ask her any more questions and quietly jumped out of the tree¡¯s spatial space through a small hole by shrinking his body to the size of an ant. The tree was not an ordinary tree; it was a relic with the name ¡®Starlight Spatial Tree¡¯ brought by the feel of the Starlight people from their world. Inside this tree, there is a huge space, and it is protected by a supreme-ranked formation that prevents any unauthorized personnel from entering it. The humans from the Starlight who got teleported to the Beas upon the destruction of their world used ¡®Starlight Spatial Tree¡¯ as Treasury Room for the same reason. However, with Aurora¡¯s [Prophecy] and Arlo¡¯s [Light Midget] and adding to the information they have received from their parents and grandparents regarding the ¡®Starlight Spatial Tree¡¯, it was a piece of cake for them to enter and exit the Starlight Spatial Tree. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Aftering out of the Starlight Spatial Tree, Arlo¡¯s body reverted as they hurriedly left the Human Territory. ¡®Let me see that ¡®Item¡¯.¡¯ Soon, they found a safe ce as Aurora asked Arlo to give him the item he retrieved from the Starlight Spatial Tree. ¡®Here¡¯ Arlo took a blue-coloured dried piece of wood out from the bag he was carrying and gave it to Aurora. Judging from the appearance, it looked simr to most of the dried branches of a tree; however, ording to Aurora¡¯s [Prophecy], this piece of dried wood increases the chances of freeing their people from very. ¡°Sister, no matter how I look¡­..¡± ¡°Don¡¯t judge something that you don¡¯t know from its appearance.¡± Before Arlo could finish his words, Aurora interrupted him and taught him not to judge things by their appearance. Usually, Arlo won¡¯t judge something by its appearance; however, that dried piece of wood was in a corner as though no one wanted it, making Arlo think it was just a useless piece of wood. ¡°¡­¡± Arlo remained silent, knowing he would never win against his older sister with words. ¡°So, when are we going to meet the so-called saviour?¡± Even though Arlo believes everything that his sister, he is unable to believe her [Prophecy] about a young man around 22 years saving their people. Nevertheless, he still obeyed whatever his sister asked him to do. Since they retrieved an item, he asked Aurora when they would meet him to ask for his help. ¡°Since we already got what we want, let¡¯s go and meet him.¡± ***** Chapter 220 Sutin Evolves In one of the many caves in the Ogre¡¯s territory, ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s special talent [Poison Tempest] has upgraded to peak level 9. ¡®Ding, The [Poison Tempest] has been sessfully mutated and became [Tri-coloured Poison Tornado]. As the cave slowly brightened from the sun rays entering through the cave entrance, Leo received two system notifications and woke him up from his torture. ¡®Phew¡­for enduring the cruel pain, the talent is mutated. It¡¯s totally worth the pain.¡¯ HIs [Poison Tempest] was already a special talent, and if it gets mutated, it would only be more powerful. Therefore, Leo felt it was worth enduring the pain and checked the information. ¡®Ding Talent Name: Tri-coloured Poison Tempest (peak level 9). Talent Type: Special. Effect: 1) The host can summon 12 red-coloured poison tornadoes that could swallow everything thates in its way. If the target is fire-type beasts and monsters, the damage will be doubledpared to the other type of beasts and monsters. 2) The host can summon 12 blue-coloured poison tornadoes, which doubles the damage towards water-type beings.-. 3) The host can summon 12 brown-coloured poison tornadoes, which double the damage towards Earth-type beings. Special effect: The host can summon all 36 poison tornadoes at once. Note: The normal effect has a cooldown of five minutes, whereas the special effect has a cooldown of one hour for the entire talent. ¡®What? A total of 36 posion tornadoes?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised by the special effect of the talent. ¡®I think I can kill dozens of level 1 supreme-ranked beings with this talent.¡¯ Since Leo has the titles to decrease the battle prowess of his enemies, he was confident in easily killing the dozens of level 1 supreme-ranked beings. ¡®Since I have taken care of everything, it¡¯s time to check on the enved humans of this world.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo stood up from the ground. ¡®Where is Sutin? I wonder whether his evolution was a sess or not?¡¯ Only then did Leo realize that the Terra Bull Tyrant was not in the cave and looked for him in the cave before walking out of the cave. ¡°Master, you woke up?¡± Just as Leo walked out of the cave, he heard Sutin¡¯s excited voice from a distance. ¡°Sutin?¡± In the next second, Leo was shocked by Sutin¡¯s appearance, which waspletely different from before. ¡°Yes, master. I evolved into this form.¡± Sutin replied while showing his teeth. The current form of Sutin was not a terra bull anymore; instead, he had be a minotaur, a humanoid with bullhead. ¡®Congrattions on your sessful evolution.¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised that Sutin would evolve into a humanoid race in his first evolution itself. Hence, he congratted Sutin, saying, ¡°Your evolution into the minotaur proves that you have rtively be a little more intelligent than before.¡± It was a known fact that minotaurs were much more intelligentpared to the bulls because they were a few steps ahead of the bull in their evolutionary forms. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your help, master. I will continue to follow you and be more intelligent.¡± Sutin was grateful to Leo as he thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Not only did he evolve into a Terra Minotaur Tyrant, but he also became a level 7 supreme-ranked beast hero, and the most important thing was that his horns grew back again. ¡°Do you know where the human territory is?¡± Since Sutin was one of the bestial rulers, Leo asked him where the human territory was. ¡°Of course, I know.¡± Sutin nodded as he replied, ¡°Since the humans are the most intelligent beings I have ever seen, I avoided going to their territory as much as possible, and I even ordered my underlings to do the same.¡± ¡°Haha¡­who said you didn¡¯t have intelligence? The moment you decided to avoid the humans, you became an intelligent beast.¡± Leoughed a little and praised Sutin. ¡°However, in the end, I was fooled by the master.¡± Sutin bitterly smiled as they travelled towards the Human¡¯s territory. ¡°It was because of the ming Lion Race¡¯s Heir that you forgot your principle of avoiding humans.¡± Since Sutin was his follower, Leo tried to console him. ¡°However, I think it is better this way; otherwise, I would have remained dumb all of life until get betrayed by one of the bestial rulers. At least by following, I might have a chance of bing an intelligent being.¡± As he looked at the bright side, Sutin was not sad about getting fooled by Leo. ¡­ ¡°Master, I sense two humans a few kilometers away from here.¡± As Leo rode Sutin, who had transformed into his old form to be Leo¡¯s mount, he heard Sutin¡¯s words. Since Sutin is a level 7 supreme-ranked beast hero, he obviously has good sense despite being a bull. Hence, he could sense the smell of the humans from a few kilometers. ¡°Go ahead. Let¡¯s see.¡± Leo gave permission to Sutin to move in that direction while hoping, ¡®I hope those two humans have level 4 or low-level enving seals on their bodies.¡¯ ording to what Leo learned from the ming Lion King, all the humans were enved by someone. Since his [Seal Swallowing Ability] is only level 4, Leo hoped the humans to have level 4 enving seals as he could swallow the seals and free them from their envement. ¡°Master, I feel one of the two humans is a supreme-ranked hero. Should I capture them as soon as we reach there?¡± As Sutin ran, he asked Leo whether he should capture them because it might be difficult for Leo to remove the enving seals from the supreme-ranked heroes. ¡°Sure but don¡¯t kill them and avoid injuring them as much as possible.¡± Leo nodded and agreed to Sutin¡¯s help as he added some orders. ¡­.. ¡°Sister, we were waiting for her yesterday night. Are you sure he wille this way?¡± A few kilometers away from Leo, Arlo and Aurora were sitting under a tree as Arloined to Aurora regarding their waiting. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a few more hours before heading to theEmberfields.¡± ording to her [Prophecy] talent, they should be meeting Leo here; however, her talent failed multiple times in the past. So, she was unsure whether it would be a failure this time. ¡®Mooh~¡¯ Soon, they heard a bellow from a distance, and in the next second, they saw a huge terra bull rushing toward them. It was rushing towards them at an incredible speed, as the ground shook every time the terra bull¡¯s hooves touched the ground. ¡°Sister, why do I have a bad feeling about this?¡± Arlo unconsciously summoned a shining saber and entered into a fighting stance. ¡°Arlo, don¡¯t move from your ce.¡± On the other hand, Aurora revealed an excited smile when she saw the young man sitting on the huge terra bull¡¯s back. ¡®Finally, he is here.¡¯ She couldn¡¯t help but clench her fist in excitement. ¡°Sister, are you sure about it? That huge terra bull seems like he wants to knock me out with its head.¡± Arlo frowned as he asked his sister once more. ¡°Sorry, Arlo, I didn¡¯t say this before that you have to get hit by it.¡± ¡°What?¡± Just as Aurora finished her words, Sutin was already close by, and before Arlo could react, he was knocked out by the huge terra bull. ***** Chapter 221 A New Mission ¡°My name is Aurora and he is my little brother Arlo. We are waiting for your arrival, Mr. Saviour. Also, we are not enved by anyone.¡± Aurora knew that her brother was not injured that easily. So, she hurriedly introduced herself and her brother as respectfully as possible. Since the lives of her people lie in the hands of Leo, Aurora was very respectful towards Leo. ¡°Mr. Saviour? Not enved?¡± Ajax frowned and was confused at Aurora¡¯s words; however, he realized one thing: Not every human in this world is enved. ¡®Kneel¡¯ In the next second, Aurora fell to her knees and requested, ¡°Can you please free my parents and everyone in the Human¡¯s territory?¡± Aurora didn¡¯t know how the human in front of her would help her parents and others because her prophecy didn¡¯t show things in detail. However, all she knew was the human in front of her could free everyone from their envement seals. ¡°¡­¡± Leo was still in confusion as he didn¡¯t understand why she was requesting his help. ¡®Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check it. As Leo was still in confusion, he received a system notification in his head. Even without opening it, Leo could tell it was rted to helping the humans.-. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Saviour of the Starlight. Objective: Free all the humans from Starlight World by removing their envement seals. Reward: A level 1 supreme upgrade stone. More Information: The humans from the Starlight World are kind and helped an injured fellow human; however, after that injured human recovered, he repaid the kind with evil as he enved everyone in the Human¡¯s territory by engraving the envement seals on their bodies. Danger rating: A piece of cake. As Leo expected, the mission was rted to freeing the people from the Human¡¯s territory; however, there was a new line at the bottom of the holographic screen, making Leo raise his brows. ¡®Is it added after the upgrade?¡¯ Previously, there used to be no such danger rating; however, Leo didn¡¯t think much about it as he could understand what it meant. The system informed Leo that this mission was a piece of cake for him. ¡®If it was an easy mission, then why is the reward so good?¡¯ A level 1 supreme upgrade stone could upgrade any level 1 supreme ss talent into level 2. Finding the advanced upgrade stones was already difficult in this world, and the system would reward him with a supreme upgrade stone. And only a difficult mission would have valuable rewards. Therefore, Leo felt it was hard to believe it was an easy mission. ¡°Stop kneeling. I will help you.¡± Even without a mission, Leo had already decided to try his best to free the humans from their envement seals. Moreover, the system also issued a mission with a good reward. Therefore, he agreed to help Aurora. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Saviour. Thank you very much. I will never forget your help and repay you by any means.¡± Aurora was serious when she said those words because she was ready to give herself for the sake of her people. Trading her body seemed nothingpared to free more than one hundred thousand humans from their envement seals. ¡°Stop calling me Mr. Saviour. Call me Leo.¡± Leo didn¡¯t like being called like that. So, he asked her to stop calling him that; instead, he asked her to call him by his as they were around the same age. ¡°Yes, Sir Leo.¡± Aurora nodded; however, she added ¡®Sir¡¯ in front of his name, making Leo shake his head. ¡®Hero assessment.¡¯ At the same time, he quickly assessed Aurora¡¯s information. It was Leo¡¯s habit to check the talents of other heroes so that he could be prepared if they tried something funny on him. ¡®Ding, Hero Name: Aurora. Hero Rank: Rank 9. Talents: 1) [Prophecy] (Super Special Talent) (level 9). 2) [Perfect Camouge] (Special talent) (level 9). ¡®What? A super special talent?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see that Aurora has a super special talent and special talent. ¡®Even though she might predict the future and hide in the in sight, she basically has zero attack power.¡¯ Leo was not looking down on her for having zero battle prowess; instead, he was impressed that she was surviving alone with her brother in the wilderness without any attacking talent. No matter how useful those two talents are, no talent is at level 9 when awakened. At low levels, these talents have so many limitations. ¡®I think her little brother might have some attacking talent.¡¯ Soon, Leo¡¯s eyesnded on Arlo, who was still unconscious, and assessed his information. ¡®Ding, Hero Name: Arlo. Hero Rank: Level 2 supreme hero. Talents: 1) [Lightning sh] (level 2 supreme ss). 2) [Light Midget] (level 9). ¡®An attack-type and support-type talents. It looks like he has some strength to survive in the wilderness.¡¯ Finally, Leo understands how the sister and brother duo survived in the wilderness for the past decade. ¡®She predicts the future to avoid the danger and if it is unavoidable, she would make them hide. In the worst case, she would let him fight and help him in her brother¡¯sbat.¡¯ Leo thought only his life was tough; others were also trying their best to survive just like him. ¡°So, as long as I help you, you are willing to help me with anything, right?¡± Leo asked Aurora while looking at her from top to bottom,ing out of his thoughts, making Aurora unconsciously step backward. However, Aurora soon realized that she was going back on her words, and mustering her courage, she took a step and nodded her head. ¡°Okay then. I hope you will keep your word.¡± After Leo realized that he and Aurora were the same, he let his guard down and teased her with a serious look, making her think he would be asking for something improper from her. ¡°I, Aurora, will never go back on my words even at the cost of my life.¡± Aurora swore in front of Leo, making Leo tease her more; however, he knew it was not a good time to tease her. ¡®I can tease her a little afterpletion of the mission.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo asked her, ¡°Give me the information about the envement seals engraved on your people. Most importantly, I want to know the levels of those seals.¡± ¡°The lowest level of the envement seal is level 5 and the highest is level 9.¡± Aurora and Arlo had already gathered enough information about all the envement seals using their talents. So, when Leo asked about the envement seals, she directly replied without thinking much. ¡°What? Level 5 is the minimum rank of the envement seal?¡± Leo was expecting it to be level 4 so that he could swallow the level 4 envement seals to upgrade the level of his ability to swallow the high-level envement seals. However, when he heard the minimum rank was a level 5 envement seal, Leo frowned as he still couldn¡¯t swallow a level 5 envement seal. ¡°By the way, Sir Leo, I forgot to give this to you. It might be useful to you.¡± Seeing Leo was frowning, Aurora thought of the item she had brought with her and gave it to Leo. ***** Chapter 222 [Bonus chapter] Shard of the Ability Tree ¡®Huh? Useful to me?¡¯ Ajax frowned when he saw Aurora was giving her a blue-coloured dried piece of wood; however, he still took that fist-sized dried wood. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Shard of the Ability Tree. Use: By consuming it together with other consumable treasures, increases the effects of the other consumable treasures by multiple folds. Example: 1) Consuming it with an Advanced Upgrade Stone will have the same effects as a Special Upgrade Stone. 2) Consuming it with an Innate Elemental Fruit will give the same effects as that of a Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit. Note: The higher the effects of the other consumable treasures, the lower the effect of the ¡®Shard of an Ability Tree¡¯. More Information: Ability Tree is a natural treasure rarely seen even in grade 2 worlds. Every part like fruit, leaves, branches, and root of this Ability Tree is a natural treasure. Even sitting under it would give great benefits. For these reasons, even the Heroes above Supreme-ranked would go crazy about it.-. ¡®It can enhance the effects of the consumable treasures?¡¯ Leo was surprised by looking at the information that appeared before him regarding the piece of dried wood. ¡®I wonder what will happen if I consume it with a Special Upgrade Stone or a Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.¡¯ Leo became curious and continued to read more information about it. Even though Leo read the ¡®Note¡¯, he was still curious because even the slight increase in the effects of the Special Upgrade Stone would be much better than the enhanced effects of the Advanced Upgrade Stone. ¡®What? Every part of this Ability Tree is a treasure?¡¯ Leo was already surprised by the effects of the dried piece of wood. However, after reading about the ¡®Ability Tree¡¯ from which the dried piece of wood came, he was surprised even more. ¡®It is a valuable tree. I hope I encounter it in the future.¡¯ Leo¡¯s interest in such a valuable tree increased. So, he hoped he could encounter it in the future. ¡®However, I don¡¯t know how this item will be useful in freeing the humans from their envement seals.¡¯ Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the Ability Tree; instead, he thought about the dried piece of wood in his hands. He could not think of how he could use the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯ to help the humans. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Aurora and asked her, ¡°Are you sure it will help me.¡± After Learning about Aurora¡¯s talent, Leo thought there must be a way to help her people with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. Therefore, he asked her to confirm whether he could use it. ¡°Yes, Sir Leo. With that help of my talent [Prophecy], I found out that Sir Leo needs this item.¡± Aurora nodded and exined, ¡°Even though I don¡¯t know exactly what this piece of dried wood is and what it is used for, I know one thing for sure and it is what you need to help my people in bing free.¡± ¡°What I need in heloing your people be free?¡± Leo raised his brows as he thought, ¡®I can only free them using my [Seal Swallowing Abiliy]; however, it is only at level 4 and could only consume level 4 or below-ranked seal.¡¯ ¡®Wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo changed the direction of his thinking. ¡®I just need to upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abiltity] to level 5 and since Aurora saw that I need this ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯ to help their people. Doesn¡¯t that mean, I can upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy] using this dried piece of wood?¡¯ Leo continued thinking, ¡®Since the Special Upgrade Stone didn¡¯t have an effect to upgrade my system abilities, will this ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯ enhance the effects of the Special Upgrade Stone to upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Ability]?¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo asked the system about it. ¡®Ding, Analyzing the effects by consuming a Special Upgrade Stone and the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. Please wait for a few minutes. ¡®Hm¡¯ Leo decided to wait and hoped he could upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to level 5 with thatbination. ¡°Can you tell me more about your human territory?¡± As the system started its analysis, Leo asked Aurora to exin more about the human territory in the Beas. Soon, Aurora started her exnation. ording to her, they arrived in this world around two decades ago after their world failed their Grade 1 world assessment. The failure of the world assessment was having less than 10 percent of their original poption, and this 10 percent poption from the Starlight World got teleported to this world. After their arrival, they struggled a lot, and a lot of them were killed by the other monsters that were already settled in the world. In the end, only 0.1 percent of the poption from the Starlight World survived as they maintained a foothold in the Wilderness under the leadership of an old but strongest hero of their world, Fremont, the Star Watcher. Fremont is the strongest hero in the human territory with a strength of level 5 supreme rank, followed by Aurora¡¯s parents, who have the strength of level 3 and level 2 supreme rank. Other than her parents, there were 10 Starlight Guardians with a strength of peak level 1 supreme rank and 50 normal Guardians with a strength of level 1 supreme rank. That¡¯s the entire strength of the human territory above the supreme-ranked, and as for below that, there were around five hundred rank 9 heroes followed by a few thousands of rank 8 heroes. ¡°They got enough strength.¡± Leo nodded after learning about the strength of human territory as he continued listening to Aurora. ¡°As for the levels of the envement seals, the supreme-ranked beings were engraved with level 8 and level 9. However, my Grandfather got engraved with multiple seals of level 8 and level 9 because of his strength.¡± Aurora had a painful look when she mentioned her Grandfather; however, she quickly hid it and continued, ¡°The Advanced heroes got engraved with level 6 and level 7 seals, and the rest got engraved with level 5 envement seals.¡± ¡®Ding, The system has finished its analysis. As Aurora was exining about the Human Territory, Leo finally received the system notification that he was waiting for. ***** Chapter 223 Unique ways to use the Shard of the Ability Tree ¡®Ding, The system finished its analysis regarding the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡®Ding, With thebination of a ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯ and the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯, it is possible to upgrade one of the system abilities; however, there is still a chance of failure. ¡®Ding, The host can increase the sess rate by consuming an ¡®Advanced Upgrade stone¡¯ with the ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯ and the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. Soon, Leo received the system notifications where the system informed him of the results of its analysis of the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡®Huh? I can consume it together with multiple items at once?¡¯ Leo was surprised because he was not expecting to consume two treasures along with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡®Ding, The items consumed along with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯ should have the same effect; however, at the same time, they have to be different items. ¡®Ding,-. It means the host can¡¯t use two ¡®Special Upgrade Stones¡¯ or ¡®Advanced Upgrade Stones¡¯ along with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯; however, he could use one from each type of stone. ¡®Oh.¡¯ Leo understood how it works. Both ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯ and ¡®Advanced Upgrade Stone¡¯ have a simr effect, upgrading the talents; however, they were different items. ¡®I wonder what kind of effect will I have if I consume ¡®Innate Elemental Fruit¡¯ and ¡®Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit¡¯ along with this ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯?¡¯ After understanding how thebination of the consumable treasures works with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯, Leo became curious about the Elemental Fruits¡¯bination. ¡®Will it mutate my system ability?¡¯ Leo could not help but guess the result of consuming the Elemental Fruits instead of Upgrade Stones. ¡®Ding, The result will be a guaranteed upgrade in the system ability with 50 percent chances of mutation in the same system ability. To satisfy his curiosity, the system informed Leo about the result of consuming the Elemental Fruits along with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡®Upgradation and Mutation?¡¯ Even though Leo had guessed it already, he didn¡¯t expect it to be true; however, in the next second, he muttered, ¡®But the sad thing is I don¡¯t have an Innate Elemental Fruit or the Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.¡¯ Moreover, Leo didn¡¯t have the time to search for the Elemental Fruits in the Beas because he consumed three Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits just a few days back. Therefore, finding another Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits would not be easy. Even if he finds one, Leo needs to find an Innate Elemental Fruit. ¡®I only have eight more days left in this world. So, it is better to use the Upgrade Stones and upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Ability].¡¯ Leo wants to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Ability] to level 6 to remove the envement seal on his body. However, he only has level 4 ability. With the help of the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯ and the Upgrade Stones, Leo decided to upgrade his ability to level 5. After that, he could swallow the specified number of envement seals to upgrade that ability to level 6. Therefore, he decided to go with thebination of an ¡®Advanced Upgrade Stone¡¯, ¡®Special Upgrade Stone¡¯, and the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡­. ¡°¡­..that b*stard was so cruel that he didn¡¯t even let a few humans who didn¡¯t awaken any talent. He even engraved level 5 envement seals on them.¡± On the other hand, Aurora has finished her exnation, making Leoe out of his thoughts regarding the ¡®Shard of the Abiltiy Tree¡¯. ¡°Oh. It looks like the Seal Engraver was careful as he engraved the high-level envement seals even on the humans with low hero rank.¡± Even though Leo was learning about the system¡¯s analysis results regarding the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯, he was listening to Aurora for the entire time and noted down the important points in his mind. ¡°I have something I have to do before helping you. Wait for a while.¡± Since Leo had already found a way to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Ability] with the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯, he decided to use it first before thinking of a n to free the humans from their envement seals. ¡°Okay, Sir Leo.¡± Aurora nodded and went on to check on his brother, who woke up a few moments back and looked at Aurora with a bitter smile. ¡°Sister, why did you do that? Is it necessary for me to get knocked out to get his help? You are bing more evil day by day.¡± Seeing that his sister was walking toward him, Arloined about how evil she was bing recently. ¡°What did you say?¡± Aurora seriously looked at him with her big eyes, making Arlo a little scared, and hurriedly replied, ¡°I mean, if you had told me that I have to get knocked out, I would have prepared for it and gotten knocked out more stylishly.¡± ¡°No, the knocking out should be natural. Only then the Prophecy will be real.¡± Aurora shook her head and said, ¡°Even though you got knocked out, I did it yourself and not just to request his help.¡± ¡°For me?¡± Arlo frowned as he asked about it. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know about it. When the timees, you will eventually find out about it.¡± How could Aurora reveal everything about it? If he revealed it to Arlo, that Prophecy might not be true. Therefore, she asked Arlo to wait as he would find out soon. ¡­. ¡°Sutin, guard me.¡± On the other hand, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he asked the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to guard him. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Sutin didn¡¯t know what his master was trying to do; however, he didn¡¯t ask about it and quietly followed Leo¡¯s order. ¡®Let¡¯s eat.¡¯ Leo found a spot under a nearby tree and ate three items one after another. ¡®Ding, The host has consumed Advanced Stone, Special Advanced Stone, and the ¡®Shard of the Ability Tree¡¯. ¡®Ding, Please select one of the following system abilities to upgrade. 1) Talent Merging Ability. 2) Seal Swallowing Ability. 3) Talent Blessing Ability. After a few minutes of consuming those three items, Leo received a system notification asking him to select an ability to upgrade. ***** Chapter 224 Additional Effect ¡®Huh?¡¯ Looking at the list of system abilities before him, Leo raised his brows and asked the system, ¡®Where is the [Talent Swallowing Ability]?¡¯ Even though Leo had long decided to upgrade [Seal Swallowing Abiltity], he could not help but think why his first system ability was not on the list. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Ability] is the primary ability and could not be upgraded by external means. ¡®So, I can only upgrade the secondary abilities through external means and if I want to upgrade the primary ability, I have to upgrade the system.¡¯ Leo already knew about the primary and second abilities among the system abilities and nodded his head in understanding. [Seal Swallowing Ability]. Soon, he picked an ability from the list to upgrade while thinking, ¡®Even though the other three system abilities are useful, for now, I need this [ve Swallowing Ability].¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded to level 5. ¡®Ding,-. Since it is the host¡¯s first time upgrading a system ability through external means, an additional effect will be unlocked in the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. As soon as he selected the ability, it was instantly upgraded as Leo received the confirmation through the system notifications. At the same time, he also received an additional reward for trying out something for the first time. ¡®An additional effect for the [Seal Swallowing Ability]?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly checked what that additional effect was. The basic effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability] was to swallow the seal; depending upon the ability level; the user can consume a simr level seal. Therefore, Leo was curious about the additional effect. ¡®Ding, Ability Name: Seal Swallowing Ability (Level 5). Ability Type: Secondary. Effect: The host can instantly swallow the level 5 or below-ranked seals without harming the being or the object on which the seal was engraved. Additional effect: Upon activation of this effect, the host can secretly swallow the level 5 or below-ranked seals from a distance of 100 meters. Note: Unlike the normal effect, the additional effect will take some time to extract the seal, and the time varies depending on the level of the seal. Soon, the information about the Seal Swallowing Ability appeared before him, making him pleasantly surprised. Of course, the reason for his surprise was ¡®Additional effect¡¯ where he doesn¡¯t have toe into contact with the seal. ¡®It is a good effect to have.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the upgrade and stood up from the ground before saying, ¡°Are you ready? Let¡¯s go and free the humans.¡± ¡­ In the Human Territory, ¡°How are the preparationsing in capturing the Spider Queen?¡± A purple-robed old man asked a group of middle-aged men and women standing before him. Everyone in that group wore the same blue-coloured battle robes as though it was a uniform for them. Even though it seemed like everyone was wearing the same battle robes, the six men and four women standing in the front row had a purple-coloured star on their backs. Everyone, including the purple-robed old man, had one thing inmon: theck of emotions on their faces. They acted like they were robots. ¡°Leader Fremont, everything is read and as long as the leader makes the move, we can capture the Spider Queen alive.¡± A woman in her thirties took a step forward and replied in a t tone. ¡°Prepare the 500 rank 9 starlight warriors. Let¡¯s wage a war against the Spider Queen¡¯s territoy and openly capture her.¡± Fremont nodded as he gave them orders about their n to capture the Spider Queen. He was none other than Aurora¡¯s grandfather and the leader of the human territory. ¡°Yes, Leader.¡± After receiving their orders from Fremont, they quietly left and started preparing for tomorrow¡¯s war against the Spider Queen. ording to the information they had gathered about the Spider Queen and her territory, Fremont learned that the Spider Queen had lost all her spider captains and hundreds of rank water spiders. He had received orders from his ve master that they had to capture the Spider Queen at any cost. So, Fremont decided to use the opportunity to attack the Spider Queen while still recuperating from the losses in her territory with his full force. Even though Fremont and others had be enved, that didn¡¯t affect their intelligence as they could still devise ns and strategies to attack and capture. ¡­. ¡®Are you sure, no one can see us?¡¯ A few kilometers away from the location where Fremont and others had assembled earlier, Leo and others were observing the movements in the Human Territory. As they observed, Sutin asked with a curious look on his face. ¡®Yes. As long as you don¡¯t move from your ce, no one can see you.¡¯ Aurora assures Sutin and Leo in a low voice. ¡®Sir Leo, what is your n?¡¯ As they observed the movements in the Human Territory, Aurora asked Leo. ¡®There is no n.¡¯ Leo squinted his eyes as he asked, ¡®So that¡¯s the ce where unawakened humans and basic heroes stay?¡¯ Even though he said there was no n, Leo had already devised a n, and he didn¡¯t even think much about that n. ¡®Yes.¡¯ Aurora frowned a moment before asking, ¡®Are you nning to go alone?¡¯ ¡®Yes.¡¯ Leo directly replied to her and asked, ¡®There are only two starlight heroes who have spirit-rted talents, right?¡¯ ¡®Yes and they mostly stay inside their houses and medidate all day to increase the level of their spirit-rted talents.¡¯ ¡®Good. I can execute my n now.¡¯ Once Leo learned everything he needed to know about the human territory, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time in executing his n. As long as Leo doesn¡¯t meet the heroes with spirit-rted talents, he won¡¯t have any problem escaping when facing a dangerous situation. Therefore, he got some rification regarding the Heroes with spirit-rted talents, and Leo was ready to sneak into the territory. ¡®Sutin, go and rest inside the Beast Storage Device¡­.huh?¡¯ While saying those words, Leo tried to send the Terra MinotuarTyrant into the Beast Storage Device; however, amidst his words, Leo realized he could not send Sutin into the artifact, making him frown. ***** Chapter 225 [Bonus chapter]Sneaking into the Human Territory Since there is a human hero with the strength of a level 5 supreme rank, Leo wanted to keep the Terra Minotaur Tyrant as a backup in case he encountered any unforeseen dangers in the Human Territory. Hence, he wanted to send the Terra Minotaur Tyrant into the Beast Storage Device; however, when he realized that Sutin was not entering the Beast Storage Device, he looked at Sutin. ¡®There is no way Sutin will refuse my orders.¡¯ Leo looked at Sutin, who was looking back at him in confusion. ¡®Is it because of his evolution?¡¯ It was the only thing that happened to Sutin recently. Therefore, Leo thought it must be the reason why he could not send the Terra Minotaur Tyrant into the Beast Storage Token. ¡®Ding, Correct, but at the same time, it¡¯s incorrect. ¡®Huh? What do you mean?¡¯ Leo frowned at the system¡¯s weird reply as he asked about it.-. ¡®Ding, Inside a Beast Storage Device, only beasts could be stored; whether it is a normal beast or an evolved beast, it doesn¡¯t matter. ¡®Ding, However, the host can¡¯t store the humanoid beasts inside the Beast Storage Device. ¡®Oh. So that¡¯s how it is.¡¯ Leo understood and nodded before thinking, ¡®I think I have to leave him behind.¡¯ His mission was to save humans, not fight or kill them. If enved humans see the Terra Minortuar Tyrant entering their territory, they would unconsciously attack him. Since they were enved and had strict rules from the ve Master that they had to fight to the death, Leo would be at an advantage because of his mission. As for Leo, he could use his talent [Space Maniption] to sneak into human territory without any problem. Therefore, he decided to go alone by leaving the Terra Minotaur Tyrant with Aurora and Arlo. ¡°Sutin, if I don¡¯te out in three hours, enter the Human Territory and find me even if you have to erase everything in the territory.¡± In this world, no matter how carefully we n, there is always a chance for that n to go south, and it includes Leo¡¯s n. Hence, Leo thought about it before giving an order to Sutin in a serious tone. Even though he wants to free the humans in the Human Territory, that doesn¡¯t mean he will sacrifice himself in the process. He decides to erase the entire territory to protect his life if the worstes to worst. ¡°Of course. I will erase the entire territory if they dare to harm you, whether they were enved or not.¡± Sutin punched in the air as he replied in a serious tone. ¡°Sir Leo¡± Aurora became anxious when she heard the conversation between Leo and the Terra Minotaur Tyrant. ¡°Let¡¯s hope things won¡¯t go that far.¡± After some thinking, Leo shook his head and replied, ¡°If you don¡¯t want that, I can leave now. As for your people, they can happily¡­sorry¡­they can live like robots for the rest of their lives.¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ Hearing Leo¡¯s words, Aurora became silent and thought, ¡®Why would anyone risk their lives to save some random people?¡¯ ¡°Sir Leo, please don¡¯t let things turn bad.¡± Aurora gritted her teeth and continued, ¡°If things really worsen, you can do whatever you feel right.¡± ¡°Sister.¡± From the side, Arlo was shocked to hear Aurora¡¯s words. ¡°Arlo, it¡¯s alright.¡± Aurora shook her head, and with a bitter smile, she replied to Arlo, ¡°If we can¡¯t save them now, it is better to put them out of their misery.¡± ¡®If he can¡¯t save them, they would die in the ws of the ming Lion King.¡¯ She had already seen the end of her tribe in the ws of the ming Lion King. Even though she didn¡¯t know the exact reason behind why the mig Lion King would erase her tribe, she was sure that her people still had the envement seals on their bodies when the ming Lion King erased her tribe. When she was around 5 or 6 years old, Aurora met the ming Lion King along with her grandfather. At that time, they had formed a deal. And as for the deal¡¯s details, she was too young to remember. However, she knew that the humans and ming lions never got into a conflict after the deal. So, she found her prophecy a little hard to believe that the ming Lion King would destroy them after a few months from now. ¡®I think the envement seals might be the reason. As long as those seals disappear, the ming Lion King might not kill us.¡¯ Aurora silently thought and encouraged herself that everything was going to be alright. ¡°Okay. I will try my best to save your people.¡± Leo nodded and slowly entered the human territory that Aurora showed. ording to her, it was the closest way to reach the area where the unawakened humans and the basic level heroes live. ¡®In case anyone sees me, the first thing I have to do is escape. I should avoid getting into a fight with them.¡¯ Leo silently thought and entered into the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ¡®Since the ve engraver could engrave the envement seal even on the level 5 supreme rank hero, he must be powerful, right? Also, from the looks of it, this world¡¯s ve Marker seemed more powerful than the ve Marker from my world.¡¯ While walking inside the [Secret Dimensional Space], Leo thought about the ve Marker who engraved the envement seals andpared him with the ve Marker who ced the envement seal on him. Since it is a grade 1 world and the ve Marker engraved his envement seal on the level 5 supreme-ranked hero and his entire tribe, it was evident that he was much more powerful than the ve Marker from his world. ¡®Anyway, ording to Aurora, the ve Maker is currently not in the territory and woulde after a month. Therefore, it is an easy mission as long as I am careful.¡¯ When he learned that the ve Engraver was not in the territory, Leo understood the ¡®Danger Rating¡¯ of the system, which was ¡®A piece of cake. ¡®Let¡¯s swallow the envement seals starting from that group of humans.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 226 Starlight Cultivation? Soon, Leo found a group of basic heroes in the distance who were training in an open field. ¡®Huh? They train in martial arts?¡¯ Leo was surprised because once humans awakened their talents, the cities in his world would not focus on physical training much. However, they seemed to be training in some powerful-looking martial arts here. ¡°You must have a strong body to start learning our ¡®Starlight Cultivation Techniques¡¯ to be a ¡®Starlight Warrior¡¯.¡± ¡°You should be able to circle this training field 100 times and have to lift those three boulders. Only then will you be given one of the Starlight Cultivation Techniques.¡± The 100 young basic ss heroes were doing extreme physical exercises as their instructor motivated them with his words. ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Even though the instructor¡¯s words were good to motivate the young trainees, theycked emotions. It was like he was reading some lines from a book. And it was the same with the young trainees who ndly replied to their instructor. ¡®Huh? Starlight Cultivation Techniques? Starlight Warrior?¡¯ Leo frowned when he heard those words and muttered, ¡®It looks like that girl didn¡¯t give the full information about this tribe.¡¯ Before entering the Human Territory, Leo asked Aurora to tell him every important thing regarding her tribe and its people. However, she didn¡¯t mention anything about ¡®Starlight Cultivation¡¯ or ¡®Starlight Warriors¡¯, making Leo wonder why she skipped it. ¡®Also, I wonder whether this kind of training is effective.¡¯ Leo also thought about the effectiveness of such training, making him slightly curious.-. ¡®Nevertheless, let¡¯s finish the mission first and think about itter.¡¯ Coming out of his thoughts, Leo once again focused on his mission. ¡®Let¡¯s see how good the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability] is.¡¯ Since he could swallow the seals even if he was 100 meters away from the target, Leo decided to test it out. Currently, there are no powerful heroes around him. The group of young trainees was only basic heroes, and their instructor was a rank 5 elite hero. Therefore, Leo felt there wouldn¡¯t be a problem in testing the new effect of his level 5 [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ¡®Activate the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability].¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo activated his ability. [A level 5 ve seal] [A level 5 ve seal] [A level 5 ve seal] . . . . [A level 6 ve seal] As soon as he activated his ability, Leo saw words appear on the heads of the young trainees and their instructor. ¡®It¡¯s cool Leo felt it was cool to see the levels of the seals in the air as he could easily choose his target. ¡®Except for that young instructor, everyone has level 5 seals. I wonder whether my [Seal Swallowing Ability] upgrades after I devour a hundred level 5 ve seals?¡¯ There were nearly 100 young trainees in the training ground, making Leo wonder about his ability¡¯s upgradation. Previously, Leo consumed 100 level 1 ve seals and upgraded the [Seal Swallowing Ability] to level 2. Therefore, he wondered if he swallowed 100 level 5 ve seals and whether his ability would upgrade to the next level 1 or not? ¡®Let¡¯s find out.¡¯ Soon, Leo stopped thinking and selected a target from the young trainees to swallow his ve seal. ¡®Ding, The time required for the level 5 ve seal extraction from the selected target is ten seconds. Do you want to use the additional effect? ¡®Only ten seconds? Use it.¡¯ Leo was expecting the time required for extracting the ve seal would be at least one minute; however, he was surprised to see it was only ten seconds. Hence, without thinking much, he used the additional effect. ¡®Ding, The extraction of the level 5 soul-suppressing ve seal has started. ¡®Ten¡­nine¡­eight¡­.one.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The level 5 ve seal has been sessfully extracted. The host can now swallow it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Gulp¡¯ Ten seconds passed in a sh as Leo received the system notification, followed by some mysterious energy entering Leo¡¯s mouth. The mysterious energy was none other than the ve seal that Leo had extracted using the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ¡®Now is not the time to think about it.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with this so-called addition effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability]; however, he didn¡¯t have the time to praise it because the young trainee who got freed fell into confusion as he looked at his surroundings. ¡®Where am I? What am I doing here?¡¯ The young trainee anxiously looked at his surroundings as he questioned himself. ¡®Aargh¡¯ The young trainee clutched his head and groaned in pain the next second. ¡®¡­¡¯ Seeing that, the rest of the young trainees paused their training for a moment before resuming it, leaving the young trainee to continue to groan in pain. ¡°Take a five-minute break and join the training session; otherwise, you will not get your dinner.¡± The instructor asked the young trainee to take a five-minute break in the same emotionless tone. ¡®When I was six years old, someone wrote something on my chest. It is ve Seal.¡¯ The young man started getting all the memories from when he became a ve at the age of six to what he had done until recently. Even though he became enved at the age of six, he still remembers everything he did and learned while living as a ve. Of course, all these memories returned with the pain he was suffering earlier. ¡®How did my ve seal broke?¡¯ After a few minutes, the young trainee got a rough understanding of his situation and wondered how he became free. ¡®I have to find my parents; however, I can¡¯t leave the training ground until the training session ispleted.¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t have any clue about how his ve seal broke, he wanted to meet his parents with whom he had been living for the past 10 years; however, at the same time, he felt it¡¯d been an eternity since he has actually seen them. However, the problem was that he could not leave the training session as they had strict rules. ¡®Also, I should not let anyone know that my ve seal is broken; otherwise, they will enve me again.¡¯ That young man decided to hide it from everyone because everyone followed the orders of the ver Marker, whom he had seen a couple of times in the past. ¡®Young man, how does it feel to be free?¡¯ Suddenly, the young trainee heard a voice in his head, shocking him as he hurriedly asked, ¡®Who?¡¯ ¡®I am the one who helped you be free.¡¯ The voice resounded again, and before he could say something, the voice continued speaking, ¡®For now, continue to act like an enved person. I will free more and more young trainees.¡¯ ¡®What?¡¯ The young trainee was shocked as soon he saw one after another young man fall to the ground. Just like him, they clutched their heads and groaned in pain. ¡®Who are you? Where are you? However, the voice in his head no longer replied to his questions. ¡­.. After twenty minutes, All the young trainees in the training grounds still looked emotionless; however, if one looked closely, they could tell they were only putting on an act. They continued to follow the instructor¡¯s instructions and continued training like robots. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded to level 6. The host can now swallow the level 6 seals. In his [Secret Dimensional Space], Leo received a system notification that made him reveal a slight smile on his face. ¡®Finally, I can swallow the ve seal on my body.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day). Chapter 227 Level 5 Starlight Warrior ¡®Finally, I can swallow the ve seal on my body.¡¯ Leo has been waiting for this moment since he gained the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. So, he was excited about finally bing free from the seal. Previously, Leo had a total of three envement seals on his body. He had already swallowed the level 1 and 2 envement seals; however, his third seal was a level 6 envement seal and the main source of his problem. After swallowing 100 level 5 envement seals from the young trainees, his [Seal Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded to level 6, and finally, he could swallow his level 6 envement seal. ¡®As long as there is no ve seal on my body, the Forbidden Curse will disappear.¡¯ Leo had already done enough research on the curses and the envement seal. Hence he was sure about it. ¡®Swallow¡¯ Soon, Leo ced his hand on the ve seal and activated his ability with a single word. ¡®Ding, The host swallowed a level 6 envement seal. ¡®Ding, The host needs to swallow 99 more level 6 seals to upgrade the [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy].-. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking free from the envement seal. ¡®Ding, The Forbidden Curse from the envement seal has disappeared. Since he was in contact with the seal, Leo swallowed it instantly as he received a series of system notifications in his head. ¡®This feeling¡­.it¡¯s been more than five years since I have been suffering from the ¡®Forbidden Cure¡¯, and now, I am free from it.¡¯ Leo¡¯s pain for the past five years had disappeared, making him feel quite relieved. ¡®Ding, Please find a healing-type hero to heal your half-damaged soul. Once the host¡¯s soul is healedpletely, the host can start following paths other than the [Path of the Heroes]. Just as Leo felt something he had wanted to feel for a long time, he received another system notification. ¡®Huh? Other paths?¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he didn¡¯t understand the system¡¯s words. ¡®Ding, The system can exin to the host only after his soul is healed. Please heal your soul. However, the system didn¡¯t exin anything, leaving Leo in the dark as it asked him to heal his soul. ¡®I can only find someone from the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ to heal my soul. For that, I need to go back to the human world.¡¯ Even though Leo had a healing talent [Fire Healing], it is only useful for physical injuries and useless against soul injuries. Therefore, Leo could only wait until he found a soul-type healing hero and knew exactly where to find such a hero. ¡®Anyway, I should not be content with a level 6 [Seal Swallowing aboity]. The highest level of the envement seal in this territory is level 9. I have to upgrade my ability soon.¡¯ Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the system notifications and focused on the mission. ¡®It¡¯s time to devour the envement seal from the instructor¡¯s body.¡¯ Even though he wanted to enjoy the feeling of not feeling any pain, Leo knew he had a mission toplete. Therefore, he selected his next target and thest enved human in the training field without wasting time. ¡®Activate the additional effect.¡¯ His [Seal Swallowing Ability] has locked in on the instructor as he received the system notifications. ¡®Ding, The selected target¡¯s strength is a rank 5 human hero and a rank 5 starlight warrior. ¡®Ding, To extract the level 6 soul suppressing envement seal from his body will take two minutes. Do you want to extract it? ¡®I know he is a rank 5 human hero already but what is this rank 5 starlight warrior? Is this the starlight cultivation the instructor was talking about?¡¯ Earlier, he heard the instructor was motivating the young trainees by saying they must have strong bodies to learn the starlight cultivation techniques. ¡®I think it is the path that the system mentioned earlier. Is that right?¡¯ After connecting the dots, Leo guessed it and asked the system; however, the system didn¡¯t give any reply, making Leo stop thinking about it. ¡®I just need to heal my soul, and I will get clear information about these things.¡¯ Leo cleared the thoughts in his head and read the second system notification, ¡®It requires two minutes?¡¯ He was slightly surprised to see the sudden increase in the time from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. ¡®I think it is because of that rank 5 starlight warrior.¡¯ Leo guessed the reason for the sudden increase in the extraction time of the envement seals before muttering, ¡®Extract.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Remaining time: 1 minute 59 seconds. Soon, a small countdown appeared above the instructor¡¯s head. ¡®Without this additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability], things would not have been so easy.¡¯ While waiting, Leo thought, what would have happened if he didn¡¯t unlock the [Additonal Effect] for the ability? Obviously, things would have been difficult for Leo as he had to go close to each and every single human in the territory to swallow the envement seal. Moreover, he had to do that without anyone seeing him; otherwise, they would either kill him or self-destruct themselves. ¡®Leo, if you are trying to save the humans, you have to be careful because they have strict orders that if someone tries to mess with the envement seals or if they are losing a fight against someone, they have to self-destruct to kill their enemy along with them.¡¯ Leo remembered the words of the ming Lion King, and thanks to his [Additional Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Effect], he could swallow the envement seals from a distance. ¡®Who would be cruel enough to give such orders?¡¯ Every time Leo wanted to believe that the world was not as bad as he thought it was, it kept proving him wrong because he encountered people who were crueler than he had ever met. ¡°Today¡¯s training session ends. So let¡¯s meet here at the usual time.¡± As Leo was thinking about the ve Engraver of this world, he heard the instructor¡¯s words. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Seeing that the instructor was walking away, Leo cursed his luck and hurriedly thought of something before ordering one of the young trainees through [Telepathy], ¡®Someone, stop the instructor for a few seconds.¡¯ ***** Magic Castle = 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day).

Therefore, if the target leaves that range, the extraction will fail. Moreover, when he was using the [Additional Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo should not move from his ce. If he does, that will lead to failure. Therefore, the only thing that Leo could think of was using the young trainee to stall for a while. [Telepathy] ¡®Someone, stop the instructor for a few seconds.¡¯ As soon as he thought about it, Leo hurriedly used his [Telepathy] to send an order to all the young trainees he freed earlier. ¡®Huh?¡¯ All the young trainees were confused and hesitated to stop the instructor except for the first young trainee that Leo freed. ¡°Instructor, I have a doubt.¡± ¡°Huh? A doubt?¡± The instructor stopped in his steps, looked at the young trainee, and asked, ¡°What is it?¡± It was not the first time someone said they doubted their physical training. So, the instructor didn¡¯t find anything suspicious. Even though they all became enved and lived emotionlessly, that didn¡¯t affect their learning capability. The ve Marker was not foolish to suppress that capability, as he wanted his ves would grow stronger in the future. ¡°Th..that is¡­.¡±-. The young trainee didn¡¯t think about what to ask. So, he started stuttering and silently asked, ¡®Didn¡¯t you say I must stop the instructor for a few seconds? I already did that.¡¯ However, Leo could not hear those words because he couldn¡¯t hear others¡¯ thoughts. ¡°If you don¡¯t have any¡­..Argh.¡± Suddenly, the instructor fell to the ground and groaned his pain from all the memories he was retaining. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Finally, it¡¯s done.¡¯ On the other hand, Leo walked out of his [Secret Dimensional Space]. ¡°Are you the one who freed us?¡± The young trainee from earlier hurriedly rushed towards Leo and asked with a grateful look. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded as he walked toward the young instructor, who looked to be in his earlier twenties. ¡°My name is Leo, and I am here to break the envement seals and free you at the request of Aurora. I think you know her, right?¡± Leo asked the instructor, who had juste to his senses after bing a free person. ¡°Aurora? Who is she?¡± ¡°Where did I hear that name?¡± All the young trainees felt the name was familiar; however, they could not remember her. ¡°I knew it. She will not let go of us that easily.¡± On the other hand, the instructor revealed an excited smile and hurriedly thanked Leo for his help. The young instructor was feeling various emotions suppressed by the soul-suppressing seal. Also, he was Aurora¡¯s childhood friend, and Aurora was famous for her beauty and intelligence. At that time, the young instructor and a few others stayed back to help Aurora and Arlo escape, leaving the fate of their Starlight Tribe in her hands. ¡°So, do you want to assist me in freeing everyone in this tribe?¡± Even though Leo could free the others on his own, it would take so much time. However, with an insider¡¯s help, it would be much easier than working alone. ¡°Of course.¡± The instructor was loyal to the tribe and would do anything for it. Therefore, when Leo asked to assist him, the instructor didn¡¯t hesitate and directly agreed. ¡°Good. I heard there is a strong sleep-inducing poison in your tribe. Do you have ess to it?¡± Leo nodded and asked whether he could get his hands on the sleep-inducing poison. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have ess to that item. Only rank 9 starlight warriors were allowed to carry it.¡± With an apologetic expression, the young instructor shook his head. ¡®Rank 9 starlight warriors? It must be equivalent to a rank 9 hero.¡¯ Leo silently thought and started thinking of a suitable n to free arge number of humans in a single go. Even though he could free them one by one, the poption of the Starlight tribe was nearly one hundred thousand, and most of the time, he had to use [Additioanl Effect]. So, it would take forever for Leo to free them. ¡°Even though I freed you from a distance, it would take days or even weeks to free everyone in this tribe without anyone noticing it.¡± Leo thought about it for a moment and started exining a few things about the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] and asked, ¡°Is there a ce or a way where I cane into contact with others without anyone noticing me?¡± After thinking for a moment, the young instructor replied, ¡°There is a ce where thousands of our people gather two times a day; however, they would only close their eyes for two minutes. Is that enough?¡± ¡°Two minutes? It¡¯s more than enough.¡± With his [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo only needed to touch others to swallow the envement seals on their bodies. So, it was more than enough. ¡°It is our Starlight Ancestral Hall.¡± The young instructor was happy that two minutes was enough for Leo to free his people. Soon, he started talking about the ce. ¡°The ve Marker didn¡¯t stop us from praying our ancestors; he even ordered us to visit the ¡®Starlight Ancestral Hall¡¯ twice in a say while saying that we should not forget our roots.¡± ¡°Huh? He said that?¡± Leo frowned as he didn¡¯t understand why a ve Marker would bother saying such things to the enved beings. ¡°Yes.¡± The young instructor nodded. ¡°Anyway, where is the ¡®Starlight Ancestral Hall¡¯, and when will the next prayer start?¡± Leo stopped thinking about the ve Marker and asked about the Starlight Ancestral Hall. ¡°One hour after the training session, all the young trainees get freshened before visiting the Starlight Ancestral Hall.¡± The young instructor pointed at a ck-coloured building on a mountain and said, ¡°Since there is not much space inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall, each group of trainees will visit the Ancestral Hall separately with their instructor.¡± ¡°Good. It is enough information.¡± Leo nodded with a slight smile and said, ¡°Continue to act like you are still enved. I will meet you in the Ancestral Hallter.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Space Maniption ¨C Secret Dimensional Space]. Leo didn¡¯t waste time as he entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] to leave. ¡°Everyone, you heard Sir Leo, right?¡± After Leo left, the young instructor looked at 120 young trainees in front of him and said, ¡°I know it is hard to suppress your emotions; however, control them and be patient.¡± ¡°If they find out our seas are broken, you know what they will do, right?¡± ¡°Yes, instructor.¡± ¡°We will wait patiently.¡± The group of young trainees hurriedly nodded their heads. ¡°Now, go and get ready like usual and meet me at the mountain base. Let¡¯s go and thank Sir Leo in the ¡®Starlight Ancestral Hall¡¯ along with our ancestors from the bottom of our hearts.¡± Soon, everyone put an emotionless look on their faces and left the training grounds. ¡­ On Starlight Mountain, ¡®Ding, The host swallowed ten level 5 soul-suppressing ve seals. Leo sneaked into the Starlight Ancestral Hall and freed all the workers in the hall, and settled inside it. ¡®Now, I no longer have to run around to swallow the seals.¡¯ With a satisfied smile, Leo waited for the starlight people to enter the hall to pray. ***** Gift Magic Castle to get 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day) for the next week. Chapter 229 Help from the Hall Keepers Inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall, ¡®Ding, The host swallowed 12 level 5 soul-suppressing ve seals. ¡®Ding, The host swallowed 8 level 5 soul-suppressing ve seals. . . ¡®Ding, The host swallowed 1 level 6 soul-suppressing ve seals. The system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head as he touched the heads of the young trainees and the instructors praying inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall. With the help of his talent [Advanced eleration], Leo was fast, and at the same time, he didn¡¯t make any sound while swallowing their envement seals. ¡°They close their eyes for two minutes; however, I only need less than a minute to touch everyone in the hall.¡± Looking at 120 young trainees and a single instructor clutch their heads in pain, Leo revealed a satisfied look on his face. ¡®Ding,-. Upgrade requirements for the Seal Swallowing Ability 1) Swallow Level 6 Seals: (11 / 100). Or 2) Swallow Level 5 Seals: (1350 / 50000). Or 3) Swallow Level 4 Seals: (0 / 1000000). It was not the first batch that Leo freed in the Starlight Ancestral Hall; instead, it was the eleventh batch. Overall, including the batch in the training grounds and ten hall keepers, he freed a total of 1361 people. ¡®It¡¯s going well. Let¡¯s free as many people as possible.¡¯ Even though it was not fast, it was not slow either, as Leo was only working for less than a minute whenever a new batch of people entered the hall. After freeing them, the 10 hall keepers would briefly exin the things to them before giving a few sets of rules not to raise the suspicions of the other enved people in the tribe. ¡°Sir Leo, the rank 7 and 8 starlight warriors will being soon. Can you remove the envement seals for them without any problems? Do you need any help?¡± One of the hall keepers asked Leo with a worried expression. Even though the hall keepers didn¡¯t have high hero rank or starlight cultivation, they were the keepers of the hall. So, they have some authority and respect in the tribe. Therefore, the hall keepers asked whether they could help him with anything. ¡°I know you have some authority, but will they listen to you?¡± Leo was surprised and asked about it. If it was before they turned into ves, these hall keepers might have the authority; however, Leo doubted they could provide him with the help he wanted. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether they were ves or not; they will listen to us because the ve Marker didn¡¯t stop our tradition and even encouraged everyone in the tribe to visit the ¡®Starlight Ancestor Hall¡¯. Thanks to his orders, he could still maintain the authority to a little bit.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Leo. As long as we don¡¯t ask anything unreasonable, everyone will listen to our words.¡± Another two hall keepers joined the conversation, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡°So, can you only allow the rank 7 starlight warriors first?¡± Leo asked them, ¡°Allow them to enter the Ancestral Hall ording to their cultivation.¡± ¡°I think it is possible, Sir Leo.¡± ¡°Yes. It is not an unreasonable request.¡± The hall keepers thought for a moment beforeing up with a n to make the starlight cultivators enter the Starlight Ancestral Hall ording to their cultivation. ¡°Excellent. If you can do it, I can guarantee that I will free everyone in your tribe.¡± ording to Aurora¡¯s information, a rank 7 hero in her tribe was engraved with a level 6 envement seal. Hence, he nned to devour those seals and upgrade his ability to level 7. By repeating this process, Leo nned to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abiltity] to level 9. ¡®I hope everything goes smoothly.¡¯ Leo always recalled the system¡¯s ¡®Danger Rating¡¯ to boost his confidence and hoped he wouldplete the mission smoothly. Soon, the hall keepers announced to the entire territory that everyone should enter the Ancestral Hall ording to their ascending rank order. Even though the supreme-ranked starlight cultivators felt something was wrong, they didn¡¯t think much and followed the words of the hall keepers. ¡®It¡¯s really working¡­it¡¯s working.¡¯ Even though Leo heard the announcement loud and clear, there was a slight fear in his heart that, ¡®What if someone sensed something was wrong?¡¯ Only when he saw 100 rank 7 starlight cultivators walking into the ancestral hall Leo heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®Damn it¡­if I had known they had the authority, I would have done it from the beginning itself.¡¯ In the next second, he scolded himself for not trying this method from the beginning. ¡®Nevermind, it is not toote. I can stillplete the mission and upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abilty].¡¯ A slight smile appeared on his face as Leo started swallowing the envement seals. ¡®Ding, The host swallowed 3 level 6 soul-suppressing ve seals. ¡®Ding, The host swallowed 5 level 6 soul-suppressing ve seals. . . . Like before, when the rank 7 starlight warriors closed their eyes and touched their forehead in front of their ancestors, Leo touched them lightly. But, before they could realize what was happening, Leo had already swallowed their envement seals and freed them. ¡°Finally¡­I canugh and cry.¡± ¡°How long has it been since I became a ve? 10 years? 12 years?¡± ¡°I have to free my parents.¡± . . . Everyone started crying andughing simultaneously as they thought about their loved ones. ¡®Ding, The host has consumed more than 100 level 6 envement seals. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Abilty] is upgraded to level 7. On the other hand, Leo wasughing at the system notifications in his head as his ability had upgraded to level 7. ¡®Ding, The host can now swallow the level 7 and below-ranked seals without a problem. ¡®Ding, Additional Effect: The host can now swallow the seals from three targets simultaneously within 500 meters radius. He was also satisfied with the changes in the additional effect, where the range had increased by five times and the number of targets he could swallow the seals from. ¡®I wonder whether the upgrade requirements for the level 7 [Seal Swallowing Ability] remain the same as the previous levels?¡¯ With that thought, Leo checked the upgrade requirements; however, it only made him frown. ***** Gift Magic Castle to get 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day) for the next week. Chapter 230 Starlight Tree Spirit ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements for the Seal Swallowing Ability 1) Swallow Level 7 Seals: (11 / 100). Or 2) Swallow Level 6 Seals: (1350 / 10000). Or 3) Swallow Level 5 Seals: (0 / 1000000). Additional requirement: 1) The host¡¯s soul needs to heal his soul for the upgradepletely. All the upgrade requirements remained the same; however, the additional requirement made him frown. ¡®It looks like I must stop after fulfilling the normal requirements.¡¯ The only way for him to heal his soul was to find a healing-type hero who could heal not only the physical injuries but even soul-type injuries. Time continued to pass as Leo started devouring the level 7 and level 6 seals from the bodies of everyone that entered the ¡®Starlight Ancestral Hall¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host has met the regr requirements. Pleaseplete the additional requirement. ¡®I think it¡¯s time to leave.¡¯-. Leo thought it was better not to swallow the envement seals for now because he needed them to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Ability]. Since all the humans in this territory would visit the Starlight Ancestral Hall twice a day, Leo was not worried that he would miss the opportunity to swallow the envement seals from their bodies easily. Therefore, he informed the hall keepers that he would return soon before exiting the Ancestral Hall. Even though the hall keepers didn¡¯t want Leo to leave, they didn¡¯t dare to stop their saviour because they were scared that Leo would not save the remaining humans in their tribe. ¡­.. ¡®Where should I find a Soul Healer?¡¯ While leaving the human territory by hiding inside his secret dimensional space, Leo thought about the Soul Healer who could heal his injury. ¡®ording to the hall keepers, no one with a soul-type healing talent exists. So, I have to either find someone from the three bestial races, kill them, swallow their talent, or request them.¡¯ At a time like this, his [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy] bes more useful than the [Absolute Devour]. As long as he kills some native residents of this world with a soul-type healing talent, Leo could extract it and swallow it. However, the problem was he had to find someone with the soul-type healing talent. ¡®Wait a second. I think I don¡¯t have to waste my time in¡­.¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ Just as Leo thought of some solution to his problem, his secret dimensional space cracked, and a shining green-coloured vine pierced through the spatial cracks and wrapped around him. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Before Le could realize what was happening, the shining vine pulled him out of his secret dimension space. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s secret dimensional space has been shattered. ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t use the secret dimensional space for the next 24 hours as it will be under maintenance. Leo got the system notifications but focused on a middle-aged couple. The man was forming some finger seals, making Leo anxious. ¡®Damn it¡­.I need to escape.¡¯ Without thinking much, Leo decided to escape from the human territory. ¡®Ding, The Starlight Tree Spirit has cast its skill [Nulify]. But unfortunately, the host can¡¯t use any talents or skills for a minute. ¡®What the¡­?¡¯ Leo was shocked by the sudden system notification that made him even more anxious. ¡®Is that the Starlight Tree Spirit?¡¯ Following the vine hanging him upside down, Leo saw a small tree with two hand-like tiny branches and leg-like roots and a branch head with two big eyes and a mouth. ¡®Calm down. I don¡¯t think they are nning to kill me.¡¯ It was not his first time falling into dangerous situations. So, Leo tried to calm himself first before looking at the middle-aged man whose speed at forming finger seals was slowing down. ¡®Human, please don¡¯t resist; otherwise, they will kill you.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo heard a monotonous voice in his head. ¡®Who?¡¯ Leo unconsciously looked at the small moving tree and frowned. ¡®I am the Starlight Tree Spirit. You are a saviour sent by Aurora, right?¡¯ ¡®What? How did you know?¡¯ Leo was shocked at the tree spirit¡¯s words. ¡®Aurora asked me to help you, so don¡¯t move and let them temporarily seal your battle prowess.¡¯ The tree spirit¡¯s voice resounded in Leo¡¯s head. ¡®This girl¡­she hid things from me.¡¯ Leo frowned; however, other than following with the tree spirit¡¯s words, there was nothing much he could do now. He wanted to summon his weapons Arcane Silver and the War God¡¯s battle axe; however, he knew the middle-aged couple was supreme-ranked heroes. ¡®I can¡¯t win against them even if I use my full battle prowess, much less when they are sealed.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo looked to stop struggling and let the middle-aged man seal his battle prowess. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s battle prowess is sealed by a level 8 Strength Suppressing Seal. ¡®Ding, Until the seal is removed, the host can¡¯t use any of his talents or skills, and even his strength will be that of a rank 1 hero. ¡®Level 8 seal? I can swallow it as long as I heal my soul.¡¯ Looking at the system notifications, Leo silently thought to himself. Currently, his [Seal Swallowing Abilty] has met all the regr upgrade requirements; however, the additional requirement needed him to heal his soul. ¡®I wonder whether my system abilities are sealed?¡¯ Since there was nothing for him to do, Leo decided to test it by activating the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy]. [Level 9 soul- suppressing ve seal] [Level 9 soul- suppressing ve seal] In the next second, lines popped up above the middle-aged couple¡¯s heads, informing the levels of their envement seals. ¡®It looks like they belong to the upper echelon of the tribe.¡¯ Only the upper echelon of the tribe got the level 9 ve seals. ¡°I think ¡®Master¡¯ will be happy to have a new member join the family.¡± After the middle-aged man finished sealing Leo¡¯s battle prowess, he informed his wife with an emotionless tone. ¡°Yes.¡± The middle-aged woman nodded before looking at the small tree spirit and ordered, ¡°Little starlight, take him to the underground prison and throw him with the other prisoners.¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± As soon as the tree spirit received the middle-aged woman¡¯s orders, it hurriedly left that ce with Leo. ***** Gift Magic Castle to get 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day) for the next week. Chapter 231 [Bonus chapter] Underground Prison Inside one of the prison cells of the underground prison, ¡®Did I get fooled by that girl?¡¯ Sitting in the prison cell, Leo silently thought about Aurora. After getting his battle prowess sealed, Leo was thrown into this prison by the Starlight Tree Spirit. Before it left, the tree spirit said, ¡°ording to Aurora, you can free everyone just by staying inside the prison.¡± It also said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother escaping from the prison because the moment you walk out of this underground prison, my master¡¯s husband will know it.¡± ¡®No¡­the system generated a mission to save them, and it even gave a rating of ¡®Piece of cake¡¯ for the mission.¡¯ Leo shook his head and changed his thinking, ¡®Did she see something with her [Prophecy]?¡¯ ¡®Who could free the ves in the human territory by sitting inside a prison?¡¯ Leo thought about it and how he could do something like that. ¡®Wait a second¡­there is a possibility that her [Prophecy] might be wrong.¡¯ No matter how powerful the talent [Prophecy] sounded, it could not see everything, and even if someone saw, it was not guaranteed that it might happen. ¡®At least I should not have given any orders to Sutin.¡¯-. When Leo things were going smoothly in the Starlight Ancestral Hall, Leo contacted Sutin using his [Telepathy]. He informed that there was no need for Sutin to rush into the Human Territory as he would be taking his time freely with the people slowly as they entered the Ancestral Hall. ¡®Nevertheless, he might sense something is wrong and barge into the territory.¡¯ Leo silently thought and continued, ¡®Nevertheless, I should try something as it might take quite some time for him to notice something is not right.¡¯ He already knew the Terra Minotaur Tyrant¡¯s intelligence, so Leo decided to try something on his own for now. ¡®First, I should free them.¡¯ Leo saw two prison guards when he was thrown into this prison. Therefore, he decided to free them first and use them. ¡°Is there anyone out there?¡± Soon, Leo made some noises to attract the two prison guards who walked in with their emotionless eyes. ¡°Keep quiet until the higher upes here to interrogate you.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Leo was waiting for the prison guard toe, and the moment he came, Leo extended his hands through the prison bars and swallowed the ve seal. Without much surprise, the two guards became grateful to Leo and said they would free him. ¡°Let¡¯s not do it.¡± However, Leo stopped them. Even though he doubted Aurora [Prophecy] earlier, for some reason, he felt it might be possible toplete his mission through the prison. Moreover, his battle prowess was currently sealed, and there was no way he could escape from human territory under the watchful eyes of the middle-aged man who ced a seal on him. Therefore, he decided to stay inside the prison and n his next move. ¡°You said something about the interrogation. How many wille, and what is their strength?¡± Leo asked about the interrogation, and the guards exined, making Leo gain a rough understanding of how the prison in this territory works. ¡®I think they want to discover my origins before turning me into a ve.¡¯ He had already heard the exchange between the middle-aged couple when he got captured and knew what they were nning for him. ¡®However, currently, the ve Marker is not in this territory. So, I don¡¯t have to worry about him and slowly free everyone and leave this world.¡¯ There is less than a week for Leo to leave this world. Hence, he wanted to free everyone before leaving. ¡°Is there anyone else in this underground prison besides me?¡± ¡°Yes, Sir. There are a few rank 9 water spiders and Zephyr eagles.¡± The guards replied with a respectful look on their faces. ¡°Okay. For now, you can go back to your duties. Let me know when the higher-upse. Also, don¡¯t forget to act like you are still enved.¡± Leo gave a few orders to the two guards before sending them away. ¡®Looks like even though they were enved, they are really nning to conquer this world.¡¯ From the hall keepers, Leo learned about the ns of the ve Marker, and it was to conquer the Beas by turning everyone into ves. ¡®I still don¡¯t get it. Why would he want to turn everyone into ves? Is it because he is afraid of betrayal?¡¯ As long as the ve Marker turned the world¡¯s leaders into ves, he could still control the world. ¡®Moreover, there is no need to use soul-suppressing ve seal on everyone; instead, the regr seal would have been sufficient.¡¯ ¡®Even though the effects of the ¡®Soul-Suppressing ve Seal¡¯ of this world were different from the effects of the same ve seal in his world, it would still affect the growth of the ve, right?¡¯ Leo¡¯s head got heated thinking about the methods that the ve Marker used to conquer the world, and in the end, he decided to stop thinking about him. ¡®Anyway, it¡¯s time to heal my soul injuries.¡¯ Aftering out of his thoughts, Leo decided to heal his injuries. That¡¯s right! Earlier, he found a way to heal his soul injuries; however, the moment he found that way, he got caught by the middle-aged couple with the help of the Starlight Spirit Tree. ¡®Moonlight Unicorn, it is finally your turn to be free.¡¯ With a thought, a Beast Storage Device appeared in his hands which came out of the storage ring. Without wasting any time, he summoned the Moonlight Unicorn that he bought in the auction house of the Phire City. ¡®Swallow¡¯ There was a level 7 soul-suppressing ve seal on the Moonlight Unicorn and since his [Seal Swallowing Ability] is already at level 7, he decided to free the Moonlight Unicorn. The Moonlight Unicorn is known as an all-rounder beast because he could attack, defend, heal and even be a flying mount. Moreover, Leo had already checked that its healing-type skill could heal physical and soul injuries. Therefore, he decided to free the Moonlight Unicorn before asking it to heal his soul injuries. ¡®With mypletely healed soul, I can upgrade the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to level 8 and free the supreme-ranked heroes in this territory.¡¯ Until now, Leo only freed a couple of hundreds of rank 7 and 8 heroes in the Ancestral Hall; however, with the upgrade in his ability, he could not only free the rank 9 but even the supreme-ranked heroes of this territory. ¡®As for my seal, I will let it remain for now. However, with this level 8 strength-suppressing seal, I can make them stop being wary of me. That¡¯s when I swallow their seals and free them.¡¯ When he thought about it, Leo felt this mission no longer seemed any harder; instead, it would be one of his easiest missions. ¡®Ding, The level 7 soul-suppressing ve seal from the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s body is removed. Soon, a system notification rang in his head, making Leo nod in satisfaction. ¡°Moonlight, heal my soul¡­.¡± ¡®Swiish¡¯ Before Leo could finish his words, the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s entire body started shining with a bright light. ¡®Is it evolving?¡¯ ***** Gift Magic Castle to get 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day) for the next week. Chapter 232 Purple-Horned Moonlight Unicorn ¡®Is it evolving?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect the Moonlight Unicorn would start evolving as soon as he removed the soul-suppressing seal. ¡®Ding, Yes. It is evolving and breaking through to the supreme ss to be a Supreme-ranked beast. ¡®Its strength must have been at the peak rank 9 for quite long. Moreover, the environment in this world is much better for the beast than the human world, adding another factor in its evolution.¡¯ However, when he thought about it, Leo was no longer surprised. ¡®Good. With its breakthrough, the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s skills also get upgraded to supreme ss.¡¯ Leo nodded and waited for the Moonlight Unicorn to finish its breakthrough. ¡­. Time continued to pass, and after an hour, the Moonlight Unicorn stopped shining, and the changes in its body were apparent. Before evolution, it was already white, and now, its entire body was milky white, and since there was not much light in the prison cell, the mane on its neck shone. Another significant change in its appearance was the unicorn¡¯s horn on its head. The in white-coloured horn has turned into a purple-coloured spiral horn. Overall, there was only one word that Leo could describe the Moonlight Unicorn after its evolution: Celestial Beast. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Purple-Horned Moonlight Unicorn. Strength: Level 1 Supreme Beast.-. Owner: Leo. Skills: Moonlight Beam, Charm of the Moon, Moonlight Healer, Moonlight Shield, Enhanced Flight, Horn Strike. Special skills: 1) Moonlight Beast: As long as the beast fights under the moonlight, it will get unlimited stamina and passive healing and its battle prowess gets doubled. 2) Moonlight Nurturer: The beast can store the moonlight in its purple horn for various purposes. One of them was nurturing the other beasts. More Information: The moonlight unicorn is already a rare beast, and a purple-horned moonlight unicorn is an even rarer and more helpful beastpanion. Try nurturing it to the best of your ability, and it won¡¯t disappoint you. As soon as the moonlight unicorn finished its evolution, the system showed him theplete information about the Purple-Horned Moonlight Unicorn, making him frown slightly. ¡®When did I be its owner? Why don¡¯t I remember it?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw one particr section on the holographic screen. ¡®Ding, The unicorn was grateful to the host for freeing her and caring for her child. Therefore, she decided to follow the host and help him with his obstacles. Soon, the system answered his question, making him look at the moonlight unicorn with mixed emotions. He freed the unicorn so she could live a free life in the wilderness with her child but didn¡¯t expect the unicorn to acknowledge him as her master. What Leo hated the most was very. He freed the unicorn, but she became his tamed beast in the end. So, he bitterly shook his head. ¡®Since the moonlight unicorn wants to follow me, there is nothing I could do about it.¡¯ Soon, Leo stopped thinking much about it and concluded, ¡®Anyway, it is not my first time to get acknowledged by others to follow me.¡¯ Leo thought about the two shadow vampires, who became his first non-human followers that acknowledged him as his master and followed him. As for the Terra Bull Tyrant, Leo was nning to kill him; however, he changed his mind because of the system mission where he decided to help the beast be intelligent in exchange for following his orders. ¡°Moonlight, help my soul injuries.¡± After putting those thoughts aside, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he asked the unicorn to heal his injuries. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The moonlight unicorn has entirely epted Leo as her master. So, she respectfully replied to him before releasing the white and purple-coloured light dots through the spiral purple-coloured horn. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo remained in the same position and allowed the light dots to enter his body, and soon, he felt soothing pleasure all over his body. Time continued to pass as the moonlight unicorn released more and more light dots, which continued to enter Leo¡¯s body to heal his soul. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host forpletely healing your soul. ¡®Ding, The host can now follow multiple paths in pursuing power. ¡®Ding, The system detected that the host could upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abilty]. Do you want to upgrade it? The system notifications kept ringing in his head; however, Leo didn¡¯t pay any attention to them; instead, he was enjoying the feeling of having no injuries on his soul. ¡®Ding, The host has suffered a lot during thest few years. Not only did he be free from the Forbidden Curse, but he also healed his soul injuries. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with a choice to upgrade one of his secondary system abilities. After enjoying his full recovery, Leo opened his eyes only to receive two additional system notifications. ¡®A reward for my suffering?¡¯ Leo shook his head; however, he didn¡¯t deny such a valuable reward and decided to use it afterpleting this mission. ¡®Upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy].¡¯ His ability has already met the requirements to upgrade. Moreover, Leo was not nning to upgrade it with his recently received reward because there were enough seals for him to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to level 9 in this territory. Therefore, he didn¡¯t bother to use his reward for now and thought to decide which ability he should upgrade afterpleting the mission. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] is upgraded to level 8. ¡®Ding, With the [Addtional Effect] of the ability, the host can swallow the seals of five targets at the same time. ¡®Finally, I can swallow the envement seals from the level 1 supreme-ranked heroes.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and waited for his interrogators toe. ¡°Sir Leo, the interrogators areing.¡± After a few minutes, the prison guards informed Leo just like he had ordered them. ¡°Time to swallow more ve seals.¡± Leo was not worried much about the interrogators because all he needed to do was to swallow their ve seals while they asked him the questions. Soon, two people entered the underground prison and stood before Leo¡¯s prison cell. ¡°Young man, where are you from?¡± ¡°Why did you sneak into our territory?¡± They didn¡¯t waste time as they directly started their interrogation. [Additonal Effect] Leo remained silent and started doing what he nned to do: it was to swallow the envement seals on his interrogators¡¯ bodies. [Level 8 soul-suppressing ve seal] [Level 8 soul-suppressing ve seal] ¡®Just what I needed.¡¯ Without any hesitation, he activated the extraction of the seals. ¡®Ding, The strength of the selected target is level 1 supreme hero and level 1 supreme starlight cultivator. It takes 10 minutes to extract their seal. ¡¯10 minutes?¡¯ Leo frowned for a moment; however, he felt it was alright. ¡®Extract¡¯ Soon, a timer appeared on the two interrogators¡¯ heads. ¡®All I have to do is stall for 10 minutes.¡¯ He remained silent and didn¡¯t bother to waste his breath on them. ¡°It looks like you don¡¯t want to answer our questions.¡± The two interrogators emotionlessly nodded and called, ¡°You three cane in now.¡± Soon, the shirtless muscr men entered the underground prison and Leo¡¯s prison cell with different torturing weapons. ¡°What?¡± Leo became slightly anxious when he saw the torturing weapons and then looked at the timer on the heads. ¡°I will answer¡­I will answer.¡± ***** Gift Magic Castle to get 7 Bonus Chapters (1 Bonus Chapter per day) for the next week. Chapter 233 Truth about the Slave Marker ¡°I will answer¡­I will answer.¡± Seeing the three shirtless muscr men entering his prison, Leo didn¡¯t hesitate to answer the questions asked by the interrogators. Since Leo was already using [Seal Swalling Abilty] on the two interrogators, he could not use it on other targets in the middle. Moreover, Leo¡¯s strength has been sealed. So, there was no way he could endure the torturing methods. All he needed to do was stall for 10 minutes. Therefore, he decided to give some random answers to escape the torture. ¡°Good. Let¡¯s start from where you came from and why you sneaked into our territory?¡± ¡­. Outside the territory, ¡°Sir Sutin, it is time for you to enter the territory.¡± Aurora opened her eyes after seeing another [Prophecy], and after some hesitation, she asked the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to enter the Human Territory. ¡°Are you sure about it? If I entered the territory, there would be unnecessary casualties. Are you sure about it?¡± Even though Leo asked him not to enter the territory, Sutin was getting anxious because it¡¯s been a few hours since his master hadmunicated with him. However, Sutin knew what would happen if he entered the Human Territory. He didn¡¯t have any problem killing the humans; however, he worried his master would scold him. That¡¯s why he held back his urge to rush into the territory.-. ¡°With your strength, no one in human territory could kill you; however, can you please not kill anyone?¡± How could Aurora and Arlo be alright if their tribe members might die? Therefore, she requested the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to hold back his strength while fighting the humans. ¡°I will try.¡± Sutin didn¡¯t have any control over his strength. So, he doesn¡¯t guarantee anything and only said he would try. ¡®Putong¡¯ In the next second, Aurora and Arlo fell to their knees as Aurora requested, ¡°Sir Sutin, as long as you endure a few attacks while fighting my people, Sir Leo could free all my people.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Sutin didn¡¯t expect the duo to fall to their knees and hurriedly asked, ¡°Did you see something in your [Prophecy]?¡± Even though Sutin was one of the bestial rulers of this world, no one had requested him anything, much less fall to their knees. Moreover, the request was not a big one because enduring a few attacks were nothing to him. Therefore, he decided to do that; however, he didn¡¯t forget to ask what she saw in her [Prophecy]. ¡°Currently, Sir Leo is trapped in the underground prison, and as long as you can attract everyone in the human territory, not only will he escape, but he will also free my people who would bepletely focused on you.¡± Aurora didn¡¯t think much and hurriedly exined a few things she saw in her [Prophecy]. ¡°What? Master is trapped in an underground prison?¡± As soon as Aurora finished her exnation, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant became furious and wanted to stomp the entire human territory to the ground. ¡®Sutin, you must remain calm before you do anything important.¡¯ Suddenly, Sutin remembered Leo¡¯s words and hurriedly, ¡®I need to calm down¡­.I need to calm down.¡¯ It took some time for the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to stop breathing smoke from his nostrils. ¡°I will endure a few attacks, and hopefully, everything goes as you say.¡± After calming down, Sutin agreed to endure some attacks. ¡°Thank you, Sir Sutin. Thank you very much.¡± Aurora hurriedly thanked Sutin and heaved a sigh of relief that she had managed to convince him. ¡°I am doing this to make up for knocking him out earlier.¡± Sutin shook his head and turned around to enter the Human Territory. ¡°Sister, is this why you made me get knocked out by him?¡± Arlo was surprised to hear Sutin¡¯sst words and asked Aurora about it. ¡°Yes. However, it is just the beginning.¡± Aurora didn¡¯t exin much and looked at the disappearing silhouette of the Terra Minotaur Tyrant and thought, ¡°Also, finally, the day hase. We can reunite with our parents and the tribe if everything goes right.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s hope everything goes alright.¡± ¡­ Inside the Underground Prison. ¡°Sir Leo, forgive us for our earlier rudeness.¡± Leo had already swallowed the level 8 ve seals from the interrogators and briefly exined why he entered the territory. After learning that he was a saviour that came to their tribe to free them from the envement seal, they became respectful and grateful. ¡°Order the three torturers toe in. Let¡¯s free them.¡± When Leo answered their questions, the interrogators sent the three torturers away. Since he had already freed the interrogators, Leo wanted to free them too. ¡®Let¡¯s not waste time on them with [Additonal Effect].¡¯ Leo let theme close to him so he could instantly swallow their ves because if he used [Additonal Effect], it would at least take a couple of minutes. ¡®Huh? Why are they so familiar?¡¯ However, Leo frowned when he saw the envement seal on their backs. That¡¯s right! He felt them familiar and hurriedly asked the system, ¡®System, can two different ve Markers engrave the same design for their envement seal?¡¯ Until now, Leo was either using the [Additional Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] or lightly touching the enved person to swallow their envement seals. It was his first time seeing an envement seal on the back of the torturers, making him remember the envement seal on his body. The two envement seals have the same design; however, co ¡®Comparing the envement seals of this torturer with my seal and the moonlight unicorn, I feel that they were all engraved by the same person.¡¯ Leo was unable to believe what he had just thought and waited for the system¡¯s reply to get a conclusion on the identity of the ve Marker of this world. ¡®Ding, The design of the envement seals might be the same for different ve Markers; however, the core of the seal will be different for different ve Markers. ¡®Ding, Since the core of these seals is the same as the one with the host and the moonlight unicorn, the host¡¯s assumption is correct. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is the same ve Marker. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked at the sudden revtion. He had never expected that the ve Marker who enved the entire Starlight Tribe in the Beas was the same ve Marker who engraved the envement seal on Leo when he was young. ¡®System, how can he travel between worlds? Are there any ways to enter other worlds other than the World Ticket?¡¯ Leo¡¯s mind was filled with many thoughts about the ve Marker he was nning to fight, who could cross the worlds. ¡®Ding, Other than the Mysterious World Tickets, there are multiple ways to travel between the worlds; however, they are very rare and almost impossible. While reading the system notification, Leo didn¡¯t forget to swallow the envement seals from the torturer. ¡®Ding, It might be a treasure left behind by the Otherworldly Gods in their [Treasure Lands] or a [Talent] that could open the portal to other worlds. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he absorbed all the information. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Suddenly Leo heard rumbling sounds from the above ground, followed by a loud bellow. ¡°Huh? Why does that bellow sound familiar?¡± ***** Chapter 234 [Bonus chapter] Armoured Soul Spider ¡°Everyone, we have to fight together.¡± ¡°Mater said he should always work together and protect our territory.¡± ¡°All starlight warriors above rank 7 should join the fight and assist the supreme warriors in killing this huge terra bull.¡± The supreme warriors of the tribe shouted out loud, giving orders to everyone with the rank 7 starlight warrior¡¯s strength to join the find. Since they have a strict hierarchy because of the Envement Seals, no matter how scared they were, all the starlight warriors joined the fight. Moreover, they even have orders from the Star Marker to protect their territory, and he also said that as long as they work together, they could kill even the stronger foes. Therefore, the rank 7 and above-ranked starlight cultivators joined the fight and started attacking Sutin. ¡°Is this all you got? Where is your leader? Where is hiding?¡± As for Sutin, he restrained himself from using his powerful attacks and only used the regr attacks. Even those regr attacks only have 10 percent of his strength. Sutin¡¯s main goal for entering the human territory was to distract the entire fighting force of the starlight tribe, and therefore, he called the leader of the starlight tribe and the human territory. ¡°Is there a reason why the Mighty Terra Bull Tyrant attacked us?¡± From a distance, an old voice resounded, and soon an old man along with 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators flew towards Sutin. ¡°Do I need a reason to attack you? I don¡¯t want the enved monsters like you in this world.¡± Since the starlight people don¡¯t belong to the Beas, they were considered monsters by the natives of this world.-. So, Sutin called them Monsters. ¡°Let¡¯s just fight.¡± Looking at them, Sutin released the smoke from his nostrils as he rushed at them. Soon, the battle between the colossal terra bulls and the starlight cultivators started. ¡­.. ¡®Mooh¡¯ The bellow that came from the above-ground belonged to none other than the Terra Minotaur Tyrant who came to help his master. ¡°What is that?¡± The interrogators hurriedly rushed out of the underground prison and were shocked to see a giant Terra Bull rampaging their territory. ¡°Sir Leo, it is better to leave this territory now.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Leo. That beast looked much more powerful than our tribe leader.¡± The two interrogators asked Leo to leave the territory because they didn¡¯t want anything to happen to their saviour. As for them, they have to protect their territory. So, they couldn¡¯t leave the territory. ¡°There is no need to worry about him. He belongs to me.¡± With a slight smile, Leo asked them not to worry about the Terra Bull Tyrant, shocking the interrogators. ¡®I guess Aurora must have persuaded him into entering the human territory.¡¯ Ignoring the shocked looks on the faces of the interrogators, Leo silently thought about the reason why Sutin entered the Human Territory. ¡®I think it is time for me to leave this underground prison.¡¯ Since Sutin was a level 7 supreme beast hero and the strongest human in this territory was a level 5 supreme hero, Leo knew the middle-aged couple would not bother him. Therefore, he decided to remove the strength suppressing seal and leave the underground prison. ¡®While they be busy with Sutin, I can swallow their seals.¡¯ Leo felt the mission could bepleted easily now. Therefore, he no longer hesitated and swallowed the seal. ¡®Is that a mutated spider?¡¯ As Leo was about to leave the underground prison with the interrogators, he saw a group of rank 9 water spiders and zephyr eagles in the prison cells. However, his eyes fell on a spider with a transparent shell on its body, making it different from the other spiders. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Armoured Soul Spider. Strength: Rank 9. Current Status: Under the effects of [strength-suppressing seal]. Talents: 1) Soul Strike (Active): It can spit a thin and sharp needle out of its mouth, which could pierce through its target¡¯s soul. Other than the soul damage, it could not cause any physical damage. 2) Soul Shield (Passive): Its soul is always protected by a shield. Skill: Hardened shell, de legs, Slikshot. Since it was a rank 9 water spider, theplete information about the beast appeared before Leo, making him raise his brows. ¡®A soul-type beast?¡¯ Soul-type beasts were rare and bound to be powerful as long as their strength increased; however, when they were young, they were almost useless. Leo suddenly thought of something when looking at the transparent shelled water spider in a group of rank 9 water spiders. This world¡¯s natives have both talents and skills. Even though he didn¡¯t know the reason, Leo was not surprised by it as it was not his first time seeing a beast having both talents and skills. ¡®Wait a second¡­why don¡¯t I use my [Talent Swallowing Ability]?¡¯ That¡¯s right! Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to nurture or take care of this Armoured Soul Spider; instead, he thought of swallowing one of its talents. ¡®I can¡¯t use my [Talent Swallowing Ability] on the monsters or beasts; however, I can use it on the native of the world.¡¯ Since water spiders were the natives of the Beas, Leo knew he could extract the talent he wanted and swallow it. ¡®sh¡¯ Leo killed the Armoured Soul Spider with his Fiery Wyvern w without any second thought. Even though its name had the word ¡®Armoured¡¯ it didn¡¯t have any physical defence. So, Ajax didn¡¯t even use 50 percent of his strength. ¡®Ding, The host killed a rank 9 Armoured Soul Spider and gained 300 [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, Please select the talent you wish to swallow. The system will extract it. Since there were multiple talents, the system asked Leo to select talent. ¡®Extract [Soul Sheid].¡¯ The moment he thought of using the [Talent Swallowing Ability], Leo had already selected the talent he wanted to extract. Hence, he didn¡¯t think much and directly extracted [Soul Shield]. ¡®Compared to attacking the souls of other heroes, it is better to protect my own soul.¡¯ Leo has and will be having more and more attack-type talents and skills; however, he didn¡¯t have anything that could protect his soul. Therefore, he decided to have the talent to protect his soul from the soul attacks of his enemies. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the entire body of the Armoured Soul Spider violently twitched, and a white-coloured crystal came out of its body. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Leo swallowed the extracted crystal in a single gulp and awakened a new talent. ¡®Ding, The host has awakened a new talent [Soul Shield]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Abilty] will be under cooldown for the next one month. Soon, he got the system notifications; however, he didn¡¯t bother to check the talent as he hurriedly walked out of the underground prison. ¡®Holy¡­.¡¯ As soon as he came out of the underground prison, Leo saw thousands of humans fighting the huge terra bull, and in the distance, low-level or unawakened starlight cultivators were watching the fight. In the fight against the huge terra bull, the starlight cultivators that Leo freed also participated. They were working with the other enved cultivators in protecting their territory from the terra bull. ¡®Sutin, endure it for a while. I will finish it as soon as possible.¡¯ Leo transmitted his voice to Sutin and stretched his body a little before activating his ability. [Seal Swallowing Ability ¨C Additional Effect]. ***** Chapter 235 Saviour of the Starlight Tribe (1) Even though Sutin had an incredible healing skill, he would still feel the pain from the injuries he was receiving from the starlight cultivators. The attacks from the tribe leader Fremont were making some critical damage to the Terra Bull Tyrant; however, Sutin endured it because his master didn¡¯t want any humans to get killed. Of course, if it is life-threatening, he could stomp them to death without hesitation. ¡®With my [Earth Healing], these injuries will heal in no time.¡¯ With that thought in his mind, Sutin continued to receive the attacks from the starlight cultivators and from time to time, he also dealt some damage; however, it was nothing life-threatening for the humans. ¡®It¡¯s time to swallow all the envement seals.¡¯ On the other hand, Leo looked at thousands of starlight cultivators fighting the huge terra bull and rushed to swallow their seals. [Seal Swallowing Ability ¨C Additional Effect]. There were both enved and freed starlight cultivators in the group, and Leo could not differentiate between them. Therefore, he activated the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to see who were enved and who were not. ¡®Swallow¡¯ ¡®Swallow¡¯ ¡®Gulp¡¯ ¡®Slurp¡¯ With his level 8 [Seal Swallowing Abilty], Leo could swallow level 8 and below-ranked envement seals. So, he avoided the starlight cultivators with level 9 envement seals on their bodies and fully focused on the others.-. [Advanced eleration] [Advanced Earth Camouge] [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] How could he openly swallow the envement seals which would make him easily stand up? Hence, he could use his wide range of talents and skills to his advantage as he swallowed the envements without standing out too much. ¡®Calm down. Everything is alright!¡¯ ¡®Just wait for some time. Our entire tribe will be free from the envement seals.¡¯ Leo asked those he had already freed before to exin to them their current situation and said what they had to do. So, Leo didn¡¯t worry the other enved starlight cultivators would notice something was wrong because the newly freed cultivators yed their role of being enved. ¡®Ding, The host has swallowed a level 8 soul-suppressing ve seal. ¡®Ding, The host has swallowed a level 7 soul-suppressing ve seal. . . . ¡®Ding, The host has swallowed a level 8 soul-suppressing ve seal. Leo was careful as he teleported to different corners after swallowing several envement seals. ¡®Ding, The host has swallowed 100 level 8 seals. Do you want to upgrade the [Seal Swallowing Ability] to level 9? After a few minutes, Leo finally received the system notification he was waiting for, and without wasting any time, he chose to upgrade to level 9. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] has upgraded to level 9. Once his ability was upgraded to level 9, Leo increased his speed because there was no need for him to avoid the starlight cultivators with level 9 envement seals anymore. Time continued to pass as Leo freed one after another, and in less than ten minutes, he not only freed the starlight cultivators that were fighting the Terra Bull, but he also freed the onlooker. However, he still left a few starlight cultivators because it was too risky to get close to them, and they might dodge his contact. His mission to free the entire Starlight Tribe without losing a single person would have failed if that happened. That¡¯s why he decided to free them with his [Additonal Effect] after freeing the remaining people in the starlight tribe. ¡®These people are so grateful to me right now; however, I wonder whether they would repay with kindness or evil¡­.only time will tell.¡¯ Since Leo had survived for five years in a mine and another five years in the wilderness travelling from one city to another, he had witnessed many things. Because of that, he never expects something from others, which would only lead to bigger disappointment. Nevertheless, the reason Leo freed them was not that he was expecting something from them; it was just that his days of very had left him with a trauma that made him free everyone who became enved. ¡®I am not a hero that brings justice to this world, and I value my life and my close ones¡¯ lives over others.¡¯ But at the same time, if he felt there was a chance for him to lose his life, Leo would dly close his eyes and let others suffer in their misery. ¡®Finally, it is time to swallow the envement seal from the tribe leader.¡¯ As soon as his ability was upgraded, Leo looked at an old man and 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators who were able to leave some injuries on the Terra Bull. ¡®After my [Seal Swallowing Ability] reaches level 9, I can extract the seals from 15 targets at the same time.¡¯ There were only 13 targets left for him to free. Hence, Leo felt the mission ¡®Saviour of the Starlight Tribe¡¯ would be over soon. [Seal Swallowing Ability ¨C Additional Effect]. With a thought, he activated the additional effect of the [Seal Swallowing Ability] from nearly a kilometer away from the targets. After the upgrade, only the number of targets but even the distance from where he could extract the seal from his targets also increased. Right now, he could extract the seals from 15 targets at the same time as long as those targets were within a two-kilometer radius range. [Level 9 soul-suppressing ve seal] [Level 9 soul-suppressing ve seal] [Level 9 soul-suppressing ve seal] . . Soon, the level of the envement seals appeared above the tribe leader and 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators. ¡®Ding, There are multiple envement seals on the targets, and the strength of the targets is hugepared to the host. ¡®Ding, Using the [Additonal Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Ability] would take at least a few hours. ¡®Ding, Do you still want to use it? ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Leo was not shocked to see more pop-ups above his targets¡¯ heads because Aurora had already exined the multiple envement seals. However, what shocked him was the time taken to extract the envement seals from the 13 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators. The 10 among the 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators behind the tribe leader had two level 9 soul-suppressing ve seals each. The remaining two cultivators were none other than the middle-aged couple that captured him and sent him to the underground prison. Surprisingly, they have two level 9 and five level 8 soul-suppressing ve seals. ¡®As for the tribe leader, he had the highest number of envement seals with nine level 9 along with eighteen level 8 soul-suppressing ve seals.¡¯ ¡®Damn this ve Marker¡­.he was so determined in turning them into ves.¡¯ When he saw the crazy number of ve seals above the head of the tribe leader, Leo cursed and praised the ve Marker at the same time. ¡®However, it is too bad for him that I am here to free them all.¡¯ When he learned that the ve Marker for both the worlds was the same, Leo¡¯s determination to free them increased even more. By freeing everyone, Leo would be interrupting the ns that the ve Marker had towards the Beas. ¡®Even though I don¡¯t have any problem extracting the ve seals from a distance, I can¡¯t let Sutin suffer too much.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo ordered the Terra Minotaur using his [Telepathy]. ¡®Sutin, there is no need to hold yourself back anymore. Use your strength and knock those 13 starlight cultivators out.¡¯ ¡®Yes, master¡¯ ¡®Mooh¡¯ As soon as he received Leo¡¯s orders, Sutin was excited and released a loud bellow before fighting with an intent to knock out the selected targets. ¡­ Chapter 236 Saviour of the Starlight Tribe (2) Once Sutin became serious, the tribe leader and the other supreme-ranked starlight cultivators werepletely suppressed. Before they could realize what was happening, they had many injuries on their bodies and lost a lot of blood. [Telepathy] ¡®Sutin, it¡¯s enough.¡¯ Seeing that the tribe leader and the remaining 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators were barely standing on the ground, Leo asked the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to stop attacking them. ¡®Everyone, now do it.¡¯ At the same time, he gave a signal to 50 starlight guardians he had freed earlier. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the 50 starlight guardians threw small orbs at the tribe leader and the 12 powerful starlight warriors of their tribe. The tribe leader and the 12 cultivators looked at the iing orbs emotionlessly and tried to dodge them; however, with their injured bodies, they could not dodge them. ¡®Boom¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ When those small orbs touched them, they sted off and released purple-coloured sparkling light dots. ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯-?(0)???. As soon as they inhaled those sparkling light dots, the tribe leader and the 12 supreme-ranked starlight cultivators fell to the ground. ¡®So, this is the effect of the Starlight Sleep-Inducing Powder. It is much more potent than I thought.¡¯ Leo was surprised at the powder¡¯s effect when the strongest cultivators of the starlight tribe fell to the ground. It was an item developed by the starlight tribe and was effective against a level 5 supreme-ranked being. After arriving in this world and losing almost all of their people, the starlight people used this powder to survive in this world and were able to mark their territory. ¡°Everyone did a good job.¡± Leo pped at Sutin and the 50 starlight cultivators who did as he ordered them to do. ¡®Now, I can directly swallow their envement seals.¡¯ Leo walked to the tribe leader and the other strong cultivators of the starlight tribes without wasting any time and started swallowing their envement seals. ¡®Ding, The host has swallowed the level 9 soul-suppressing ve seal. . . . ?(O)??? Since Leo was swallowing the envement seal through touch, he didn¡¯t have to wait long for each seal; instead, he could instantly swallow them without wasting time. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ¡®Saviour of the Starlight Tribe¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with a level 1 supreme upgrade stone. As soon as he swallowed all the envement seals, Leo received the mission aplishment notification followed by his reward notification. However, that¡¯s not the end, as he received another two system notifications pleasantly surprised him. ¡®Ding, The host has met the requirements to upgrade to level 9 [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ¡®Ding, Do you want to upgrade it? ¡®Of course, I will upgrade it.¡¯ There was no hesitation as Leo directly agreed to it. Even though he didn¡¯t see any seals higher than level 9, Leo believed there would be high-level seals. Therefore, the higher the level of the [Seal Swallowing Ability], the better it was for him in the future. ? ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] is under upgrade to the next level. Please wait for seven days. Note: During these seven days, you can¡¯t use this ability. ¡®7 days?¡¯ ?(O)??? Leo was not expecting that there would be an upgrade time for the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. Moreover, the upgrade time was seven days, making him a little curious about it. ¡®I think there will be a major change to the [Seal Swallowing Ability].¡¯ Since the upgrade time was long, Leo concluded that there would be some major changes to the ability and was looking forward to it. ¡®Moonlight,e out and heal them.¡¯ Soon, he came out of his thoughts and summoned the purple-horned moonlight unicorn to heal the tribe leader and the other starlight cultivators. ¡­. After a few hours, ¡°Sir Leo, you are the saviour of my Starlight Tribe. If not for you, we would have remained ves and died as ves.¡± All the starlight tribe¡¯s cultivators bowed to Leo and thanked him from the bottom of their hearts. ¡°It¡¯s alright! You have been enved for so long. Go and spend some time with your family and friends.¡± Leo didn¡¯t show emotion in front of others as he asked them to spend time with family and friends. Even though these people lived together, they were living like robots without emotions, following the set of rules that the ve Marker had left for them. ¡®¡­¡¯ However, they hesitated to leave because Leo was their saviour and wanted to thank him properly; however, they didn¡¯t know how. ¡°You can leave. I will properly thank our saviour on behalf of our entire Starlight Tribe.¡± The tribe leader Fremont replied as he sent everyone away. After receiving the healing from the Moonlight Unicorn and the Starlight Tree Spirit, the tribe leader and the remaining 12 starlight cultivators werepletely healed. Other than theck of starlight energy inside their bodies, they were perfectly alright. ¡°Please thank the saviour and reward him generously, tribe leader.¡± ¡°Yes, tribe leader.¡± Soon, the starlight tribe members replied to the tribe leader before leaving the tribe leader¡¯s house courtyard. ¡°Saviour Leo, let¡¯s go inside.¡± After everyone left, the tribe leader Fremont respectfully invited Leo into his house. ¡®That girl Aurora must be happy to be reunited with her family.¡¯ Leo looked at the house Aurora and Arlo entered with their parents and silently thought in his head before following Fremont. Even though Leo was angry that Aurora didn¡¯t say many things about her tribe and hid some information from her [Prophecy], that anger dissipated after seeing her cry when she met her parents. He could tell she was very happy to be reunited with her family as he could rte his story to hers. ¡®I was already happy to stay close to my family; she must be over the moon as her parents knew she was their daughter.¡¯ When he saw Aurora reuniting with her family, Leo wanted to rush back to his world and do the same with his family. However, he could not leave the Beas until he finished his full stay. ¡°Saviour Leo, my granddaughter Aurora has suffered a lot for thest ten years in this cruel world.¡± As Leo followed the tribe leader Fremont, he heard the old man speak in a bitter voice. ¡°Not only did she survive in the wilderness, she assisted her brother to be a supreme-ranked hero and a starlight cultivator, but she also brought Saviour Leo to the tribe and freed us all from very.¡± The old man continued to talk about Aurora and her intelligence from a young age. ¡°I was not surprised that she was able to free us all. As long as he sets her eyes on something, she will aplish it by any means; however, when she was less than ten years old, she never focused on anything, and we had to push her to train in our cultivation techniques and in increasing her talent¡¯s level.¡± ¡°Maybe the disaster to the tribe might have made her determined to save us.¡± After telling about Aurora and her childhood, the old man brought Leo to an armoured door made of some unknown material. ¡°Saviour Leo, this is my tribe¡¯s Starlight Library. You can pick any number of cultivation techniques you want. ¡­ Chapter 237 Becoming a Starlight Cultivator (1) ¡°Huh?¡± When he heard the tribe leader¡¯s words, Leo looked at the thick door in front of him that had the words ¡®Starlight Library¡¯ on it. ¡°I don¡¯t have much clue about cultivation. Can you tell me about it before I enter it?¡± Leo already had a rough idea about the cultivation but didn¡¯t know many details about it. ¡®As for picking the cultivation techniques inside the ¡®Starlight Library¡¯, I can do itter.¡¯ Even though Leo was not expecting much from these people when he saved them, that doesn¡¯t mean he would reject their gifts. Therefore, he wanted to know more about cultivation before picking the cultivation techniques from the library. ¡°Huh? Saviour didn¡¯t know about cultivation?¡± The tribe leader was surprised as he looked at Leo to see whether he was telling the truth or not. ¡°No. I am following the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯ where I have to increase the level of my awakened talents.¡±-?(0)???. Leo had visited half of the cities in his world, and there was no such thing as cultivation. Hence, there was no way for Leo to learn about such things. ¡®He doesn¡¯t mean like he is lying. But, how is he so powerful with just a rank 9 hero strength?¡¯ Even though he didn¡¯t see Leo fighting others; however, when he was still enved, Leo became popr in the entire Beas that even the ve Marker ordered them to capture Leo if possible. ording to what he heard, the human in front of him could even kill level 2 and injure level 3 supreme-ranked beings. So, the old tribe leader was surprised to hear that Leo didn¡¯t know about his cultivation. ¡®If he was already this strong without starting his cultivation, I wonder how strong he would be after he started his cultivation journey?¡¯ Just a simple thought made the old man curious about the increase in Leo¡¯s battle prowess. ¡°Since Saviour Leo didn¡¯t know about cultivation, I will exin it first.¡± Soon, the old man Fremont came out of his thoughts and started exining the cultivation. ?(O)??? ¡°Cultivation is a path in which someone can increase their strength to the point where we could no longer be mortal and could be considered as someone who was bound to be Gods.¡± ¡°Bound to be Gods?¡± Leo was shocked as he soon realized something, ¡®So, the otherworldly beings that came to our world are all cultivators who could not only cultivate but also follow the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯?¡¯ ¡®If cultivating could make someone into Gods, why did they not talk about it? Instead, they solely empathized with ¡®Following the ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯?¡¯ At the same time, he didn¡¯t understand why the otherworld beings wouldpletely emit the knowledge about ¡®Cultivation¡¯. They established the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯ to help the humans awaken their talents and exined the ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯; however, theypletely omitted the ¡®Cultivation¡¯. ¡®Let¡¯s see and ask all the doubts at the end.¡¯ Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t interrupt the old man and continued to hear more about the cultivation through his words. ¡°Cultivation was present from ancient times; however, different people and races used different types of cultivation depending on the avable resources in their world. ? For example, our starlight world has plenty of stars emitting pure starlight energy. Our ancestors worked hard, and after countless trials and errors, they developed suitable cultivation for us. It is called Starlight Cultivation, where we absorb the starlight energy from the stars to increase our strength. Almost all our cultivation techniques are directly or indirectly connected to the starlight energy.¡± After a lengthy exnation, the tribe leader stopped his exnation to let Leo absorb all the knowledge he gained regarding the cultivation. ¡°Oh. So, there are different types of cultivations.¡± Leo nodded in understanding. ¡°Yes.¡± The tribe leader nodded and exined, ¡°ording to our ancestors, various types of cultivation like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Sun and so on. Since there are countless worlds, countless types of cultivation exist to increase your strength.¡± ¡°Countless number of cultivation?¡± Leo¡¯s interest in the ¡®Cultivation¡¯ topic was piqued; however, he suppressed it and asked, ¡°How did you learn about ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯?¡± Since they learned cultivation from their ancestor, Leo wondered how they learned about the other path. He had already seen that these starlight people follow both the ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯ and ¡®Cultivation path¡¯. Hence, he was curious about it. ¡°There was a time when hundreds of portals opened in our peaceful world, and from these portals, monsters and the beings from the other worlds entered and tried to invade our Starlight World.¡± Fremont had mixed emotions on his face when he heard Leo¡¯s question; however, he still answered. ¡°With our strength, we were able to defend ourselves after losing many of our brave cultivators against these monsters. Then, a voice came from the heavens that we are worthy enough to receive the world assessment and that same voice awakened the talents in us before saying about the ¡®Path of Heroes.¡± ¡°However, in the end, even with two paths, we are still not strong enough to pass the grade 1 world assessment.¡± The tribe leader clenched his fists in anger. As one of the strongest cultivators of the Starlight World, Fremont med himself for not being strong enough to protect his world. However, that didn¡¯t stop him; instead, it motivated him to be stronger to protect his Starlight Tribe in this world. ¡®The sudden appearance of the portals in his world must be the pre-assessment that our world barely passed with the help of the otherworldly beings.¡¯ Soon, he startedparing the Starlight World with his world. They were both human worlds; however, one had cultivators that could defend themselves in the pre-assessment, whereas his world needed the help of the otherworldly beings to survive barely. ¡®Moreover, the starlight people learned things from a voice from the heavens, whereas we learned things from the otherworldly beings.¡¯ ¡®Also, the War God Odren¡¯s remnant spirit said they had to suddenly leave the human world, fearing that someone would notice them. I think he talked about the voice from the heavens. ¡®If not for the otherworldly beings, the entire human race would have been wiped out and speaking theoretically; we are not qualified for the world assessment to begin with.¡¯ After hearing the tribe leader¡¯s words, Leo realized so many things that he didn¡¯t understand previously. ¡®However, the thing is, who does that voice belong to? They could open portals in a world like a bottle-opener opening the bottle caps.¡¯ ?(O)??? ¡®The most important thing is, even the otherworld beings who referred to themselves as ¡®Gods¡¯ were scared of that voice. Who is he exactly? Is he a mighty being who got bored and wanted something interesting?¡¯ ¡®Also, despite being scared of that voice, the otherworldly beings risked their lives to save us from the monsters during the pre-assessment and even helped establish the ¡®Hall of Gods¡¯ to awaken their talents. Why would they do it?¡¯ Even though he realized answers to many things, it only raised more questions in his head than before; these questions were much moreplicated. ***** Chapter 238 Becoming a Starlight Cultivator (2) ¡®I think to find the answers to these questions; I have to survive the world assessments and be more powerful.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and thought about finding answers to those questions. ¡°Enough about the cultivation. Can you tell me more about your Starlight Cultivation?¡± Since the ¡®Starlight Cutivation¡¯ was within his reach, Leo wanted to know more about it, how it would benefit the cultivator, and how powerful it could make someone. ¡°As I said, we, the starlight cultivators, use the pure starlight energy to increase our strength. With the help of ¡®Starlight Refining Technique¡¯, you can absorb the starlight energy avable in the world to increase your strength.¡± Until now, Fremont had exined the different types of cultivation, and now, he started exining the cultivation path they follow, which was ¡®Starlight Cultivation¡¯. ¡°Our starlight cultivation is simr to the ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯. It starts from rank 1 starlight warrior who is equivalent to rank 1 hero; however,pared to a rank 1 hero, a rank 1 starlight warrior is a little bit stronger.¡± Since all rank 1 heroes don¡¯t have attacking-type talents, they were obviously not as strong as the same ranked starlight warrior. Even so, the heroes could use their talents to gain an advantage over the same ranked cultivators. ¡®However, these people follow both paths, giving him an advantage over both cultivators and the heroes.¡¯ Leo silently added his thoughts to the exnation given by Fremont. ¡°Even though the ¡®Starlight Refining Technique¡¯ is a top-notch cultivation technique, the speed of absorbing the pure starlight energy depends entirely on the cultivation talent. However, the good thing about being a starlight cultivator is that even if you don¡¯t have any cultivation talent, you can still cultivate at a slow pace.. Therefore,pared to the ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯ where the unawakened beings remain weak, the starlight cultivators could still pursue their cultivation path. Moreover, you can cultivate as many cultivation techniques as possible to increase your battle prowess. In short, these cultivation techniques could be considered talents and skills. As long as you have patience and good cultivation talent, you can learn multiple cultivation techniques.¡± The tribe leader Fremont exined one thing after another, opening Leo¡¯s mind to a whole new world. ¡®I think it is much better than the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯ where a cultivator could learn various cultivation techniques.¡¯ After learning more and more about the cultivation¡­to be more specific, learning more and more about the starlight cultivation, Leo felt it was better to be a cultivator rather than a hero. ¡®However, for me, being a hero is the best thing as I can swallow the talents of other heroes and awaken both talents and skills by devouring the huge number of corpses.¡¯ For regr beings, being a cultivator was best; however, for Leo, without a doubt, being a hero was the wisest decision. ¡®Nevertheless, the system had already informed me that I can follow different paths after healing my soul. Since my soul is fully healed, I will try learning this starlight cultivation and be a starlight cultivator.¡¯ After hearing the benefits of bing a cultivator, Leo wanted to try it. ¡®If I can¡¯t cultivate faster or feel it bes a burden to my ¡®Path of the Heroes¡¯, I will just stop cultivating.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want to give up on cultivating without giving it a try, lest he regrets his decision not to cultivate in the future. ¡°Open it. I will enter the library now.¡± After learning a few more things about the cultivation and the starlight cultivation, Leo asked the tribe leader to open the thick door. ¡®Since the system has already promised to help me, there is no need to continue listening to the old man¡¯s words.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo asked the tribe leader to open the door to the ¡®Starlight Library¡¯. He was eager to enter the ¡®Starlight Library¡¯ because the system had promised to help him in his cultivation. ¡°Sure.¡± Fremont nodded and ced his palm on the thick door made up of an unknown metal. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Soon, tiny light particles came out of his n and spread across the entire door. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Ting¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Few noises came out of the door as the door to the Starlight Library opened; however, it was too dark for Leo to see inside it. ¡°Saviour Leo, after entering this room, walk in a straight direction, and you will see a shining book in the center of the room. To be a starlight cultivator, you need to touch and read the words that appear in the book. Only after that will you gain ess to the Starlight Library¡¯s various cultivation techniques.¡± The tribe leader exined as he sent Leo into the dark room. ¡­.. Inside the pitch-ck room, ¡®Where is the shining room.¡¯ After entering the ¡®Starlight Library¡¯, Leo walked in the dark, searching for the so-called shining book. Even his [Super Vision] that was upgraded from [Night Vision] could not see anything inside the room. Nevertheless, he continued to walk in the straight direction; however, after walking for a few minutes, Leo didn¡¯t know whether he was walking in the straight direction or not any longer. ¡®There is it.¡¯ Finally, after walking in the dark for a few more minutes, Leo saw a light dot in the distance and started running in that direction. Soon, Leo saw a shining book floating in the mid-air just as the tribe leader said. It was purple-coloured with a white border, and there were so many mysterious runes in golden colour. The thick book shone because of the golden runes as they emitted bright golden light that filled a few meters around it with brightness. At the center of the book cover, three big words [Starlight Cultivation Manual] could be seen from a distance. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As it sensed Leo¡¯s presence, it flew towards him and hovered in front of him. ¡®I have to hold it and read the words that appeared in the book.¡¯ Leo muttered what he had to do and slowly held the book. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Soon, the book opened on its own, and three words appeared on the center page of the book. ¡°Starlight Refining Technique¡± After hesitating a bit, Leo read the three words that appeared in the book. ¡®I don¡¯t know how reading these words will make me a starlight cultivator. But, let¡¯s¡­.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Aargh¡¯ Before he could finish his words, a golden beam shot out of the book and entered his forehead. Even though the pain was not as bad as the pains he had endured, Leo was not expecting the book to shootsers into his forehead. Nevertheless, it took some time for Leo to maintain hisposure; however, the pain in his head was still there. ¡®Swiish¡¯ As Leo was enduring the pain as though it was nothing, the ¡®Starlight Cultivation Manual¡¯ shone with a bright light, and the words on the center page of the book also shone with it. In the next second, the words from the center page disappeared as a line of text appeared in the ce of those words. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Before he could realize what was happening, the pain in his head disappeared along with the floating manual; however, the floating manual left shining light dots behind, which entered Leo¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a Starlight cultivator. ***** Chapter 239 [Cultivators Interface] ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a Starlight cultivator. As soon as those tiny light dots entered his body, Leo received the system notification that pleasantly surprised him. ¡®I became a cultivator just like that?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t do much besides reading a few words and enduring the pain from beginning to the end. So, he was surprised that he easily became a ¡®Starlight Cultivator¡¯. ¡®Ding, When ites to cultivation, as long as someone can endure the pain, they are bound to achieve big things. Whether the system said it casually or seriously, Leo could not tell; however, before he could think about it, he received another system notification that diverted his attention. ¡®Ding, Since the host has sessfully be a cultivator, he will be rewarded with a second [User Interface]. ¡®A second [User Interface]?¡¯ Just as Leo was surprised to learn that a second [User Interface] had unlocked, something happened that made his jaws nearly drop. ¡®Tud¡¯ With a loud noise, the entire pitch back room lit up as Leo noticed he was surrounded by hundreds of books neatly sitting on the shelves. ¡®There are so many cultivation techniques.¡¯ Leo could tell that each book represented a starlight cultivation technique without any exnation, and there were nearly a thousand or more.. The cultivation techniques around him are ssified into four sections: Attack, Defence, Support, and Weapon. Each section has 200 to 300 cultivation manuals each, and these books were again ssified into three rows: Copper, Silver, and Gold. The Copper and Silver rows in each section have more than 100 cultivation manuals, whereas the Gold row has less than ten books. ¡®Ding, The system detected a small collection of cultivation manuals. Requesting for the host¡¯s permission to analyze the cultivation manuals. As Leo was in a daze to see the huge number of cultivation manuals, he received the system notification asking his permission to analyze. ¡®Analyse? What do you want to analyze about them?¡¯ Even though he was surprised that the system deemed the huge collection of cultivation manuals into a small collection, he was more surprised about its analysis. ¡®Ding, The system will pick the suitable and most powerful cultivation techniques from each section. ¡®Oh. You can do that?¡¯ Even though he knew the system could do many things, he was still surprised that it could analyze all the cultivation manuals to select a few for him. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t stop the system and was permitted to analyze it. ¡®Since I can pick only one cultivation technique from each section, it is better for the system to analyze them all.¡¯ Fremont had already exined that cultivating more than one cultivation technique in each section would only waste his time. So, it was better to have a single cultivation technique that was top in that particr section. ¡®Swiish¡¯ As soon as he permitted the system, a holographic light screened all the cultivation manuals in the four sections, and in no time, the system sent him a reply. ¡®Ding, The system has finished its analysis. ¡®That¡¯s fast.¡¯ No matter how much he tried not to get surprised by the system, it always surprised him with its abilities. ¡®Since you havepleted your analysis, which cultivation techniques should I select?¡¯ Taking a deep breath, Leo asked the system to help him select the cultivation techniques. ¡®Ding, Select the ¡®Starlight Rapid Punch¡¯ from the attack section. ¡®Ding, . . Soon, the system suggested a cultivation technique for each section, and Leo selected them without thinking much. ¡®Ding, Host, hold all the books properly. ¡®Ding, Transferring all the data from the four cultivation manuals directly to the host¡¯s head. ¡®Ding, Please bear the pain if there is any. ¡®Okay.¡¯ Leo had already gotten used to the system¡¯s unique abilities. So, when he read the system notifications, he was no longer surprised and followed its instructions. ¡®There is a slight pain, but I can bear it easily.¡¯ Unlike when the goldenser shot out of the ¡®Starlight Cultivation Manual¡¯, Leo was ready for the pain this time. Hence, he didn¡¯t let out any groan and patiently waited for the system toplete the knowledge transfer. ¡®Let¡¯s see what this foreign information is.¡¯ Along with the slight pain, Leo could feel arge amount of foreign information flooding his head. Therefore, he sat down and checked the foreign information in his head. ¡®What is this¡­I feel like I have already learned this cultivation technique before.¡¯ To Leo¡¯s surprise, he felt the cultivation techniques were familiar, making him slightly surprised; however, in the next second, he muttered, ¡®Maybe it was the system¡¯s doing.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The transfer of the four cultivation techniques¡¯ knowledge had beenpleted. Please open your second [User Interface] to check the full details. ¡®User Interface¡¯ Leo was already curious when he heard that the system unlocked a second [User Interface], and now, four new cultivation techniques were added to his profile. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste any time and opened it. ¡®Ding, Second [User Interface] or [Cultivator¡¯s Interface]. Cultivator Name: Leo. Strength: Level 0 Starlight Cultivator. Main Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique (Bronze-Grade). Starlight Dantian: 10 / 100 units of Starlight Energy. Note: 1) the host¡¯s body will passively absorb 10 units of Starlight Energy because of the cultivation technique. 2) When actively using the cultivation technique, one unit of Starlight Energy can be absorbed per minute. Second Cultivation Techniques: 1) Starlight Rapid Fists (level 1), (Attack). 2) Starlight Steps (level 1), (Movement). 3) Starlight Golden Armour (level 1), (Defence). 4) Starlight Severing Sword Strike (level 1) (Weapon). Soon, his full information as a cultivator appeared before Leo, making him carefully read everything on it. ¡®My main cultivation technique is only Bronze Grade?¡¯ There was no need for exnation as he could easily tell that the Bronze Grade is the lowest possible grade for a cultivation technique. ¡®Now, I understand why I am feeling like there is a hole inside my body that is trying to absorb the surrounding starlight energy.¡¯ After seeing ¡®Starlight Dantian¡¯ and the ¡®Note¡¯ section, Leo finally understood there is small storage inside his body where he could store the starlight energy. ¡®Even though my profile as a cultivator looks mediocre, it is not bad since I have just started my part-time career as a cultivator.¡¯ Leo was not expecting to be a powerful cultivator that could split the mountains overnight. Moreover, he was only doing it because he was curious about the cultivation. He didn¡¯t forget that his way to bing stronger lies in the [Path of the Heroes] itself. ¡®System, how do I upgrade this cultivation? Since you said they were considered as Talents and Skills, will repeatedly using them increase their levels?¡¯ Soon, his eyes fell on the four secondary cultivation techniques and asked the system how to upgrade them. ¡®Ding, Yes. By repeatedly using them, the host can increase their levels. ¡®Okay. Then what about my cultivation? How do I increase it?¡¯ In the ¡®Path of the Heroes,¡¯ all he had to do was increase the level of his talent, and his hero rank would increase; however, Leo could tell it was not the case in the cultivation. Hence, he asked the system about it. ¡®Ding, For the initial levels in the cultivation, the host needs to fill his ¡®Starlight Dantian¡¯ with starlight energy. ¡®Interesting. So, I just have to actively cultivate for nine hours, or I can just let the starlight energy passively umte in my body for 90 hours to be a rank 1 starlight cultivator.¡¯ Leo nodded as he slowly walked out of the [Starlight Library]. Chapter 240 [Special Starlight Refining Technique] ¡°Saviour Leo, you are back! What colour of the [Starlight Refining Technique] did you see in the ¡®Starlight Cultivation Manual¡¯?¡± As soon as Leo walked out of the ¡®Starlight Library¡¯, the tribe leader Fremont asked Leo with a curious look on his face. ¡°Colour?¡± Leo tried to remember it for a moment before saying, ¡°It¡¯s bronze colour.¡± ¡°What? You received Bronze grade [Starlight Refining Technique]?¡± When he heard Leo¡¯s reply, the tribe leader was shocked and slightly disappointed as he thought, ¡®It looks like Saviour Leo is not suited for my starlight cultivation.¡¯ ¡°Is there a problem with it?¡± Even though Leo could tell he got the lowest grade of cultivation technique, he didn¡¯t bother much about it; however, he didn¡¯t expect the other party to be so disappointed and sad for him. ¡°Ahem.¡± Fremont cleared his throat as he replied, ¡°Saviour Leo, I think you shouldn¡¯t follow our Starlight Cultivation. With a bronze-grade starlight refining technique, it would take at least a month to be a rank 1 starlight cultivator and at least a year to reach rank 2, and as for rank 3 and above, it would take years.¡± ¡°Hence, it is best for the Saviour Leo not to waste your time on this cultivation.¡± Even though the tribe leader was disappointed, he didn¡¯t force Leo to cultivate his tribe¡¯s ¡®Starlight Cultivation¡¯; instead, he asked Leo not to waste his time.. ¡°Huh? A month to be a rank 1 starlight cultivator?¡± However, when Leo heard the tribe leader¡¯s words, he frowned. ¡®Even if I don¡¯t cultivate, I can be a rank 1 starlight cultivator in four days, and if I actively cultivate, it will only take nine hours.¡¯ Leo frowned and suddenly remembered, ¡®That¡¯s right! There was another line of text in the book.¡¯ Even though Leo only saw it for a moment, he remembered them. ¡®Also, my main cultivation technique was not normal; instead, it is a Special Starlight Refining Technique.¡¯ He also remembered that there was a ¡®Special¡¯ in his cultivation technique. When he checked his [Cultivator¡¯s Interface], Leo¡¯s eyes focused on the cultivation technique¡¯s grade rather than the word ¡®Special¡¯. After hearing the tribe leader¡¯s words, he realized that his main cultivation technique was special. ¡®Wait a second. If a bronze grade cultivation technique was already faster, I wonder how fast it would be if I upgraded it.¡¯ Leo hurriedly asked the tribe leader, ¡°Is there a way to upgrade the main cultivation technique?¡± ¡°As far as I know, there is none. That¡¯s why I suggest the Saviour Leo focus on his [Path of the Heroes] or find a suitable cultivation path other than the Starlight Cultivation.¡± If someone was not suited for the Starlight Cultivation, that doesn¡¯t mean they could follow other cultivation paths and might even find a tailor-made cultivation path. Therefore, the tribe leader suggested following different cultivation paths or fully focusing on the Heroes¡¯ path. ¡°No way to upgrade the grade of the cultivation technique?¡± Leo frowned before shaking his head. Even though his [Special Starlight Refining Technique] was good for now, just like the tribe leader said, it would only get harder and harder as the cultivation increases. Therefore, Leo felt it was a pity to be unable to upgrade its grade. ¡®Ding, There is no need to give so soon, host. As long as I am here, I will help you. Suddenly, the system sent a notification that made Leo could not help but reveal a smile. ¡®Ding, The host can unlock a new ability rted to the cultivation with the help of three ¡®Fragments of the God Stones¡¯. ¡®Ding, Collect them and unlock the ability to make your cultivation as easy as your Hero¡¯s path. ¡®What? I can unlock a new ability using the ¡®Fragments of the God Stones¡¯? Why didn¡¯t you say this a few days back? I would not have used them to increase the potential of my talents.¡¯ If Leo knew that he could use the ¡®Fragment of the God Stones¡¯ to unlock the system abilities, he would not have used them on anything other than unlocking them. However, he had already used them to increase the potential of his rank 8 and rank 9 talents. Hence, there was nothing Leo could do now besides collecting the ¡®Fragments of the God Stones¡¯. ¡®Ding, It is a hidden feature that is unlocked after the upgrade. So, the system could not inform it before and had to wait until a situation where the host required a system ability. ¡®Oh¡¯ After reading thetest system notification, Leo shook his head and checked his storage ring. ¡®I have one Fragment of the God Stone. I need two more to unlock a system ability.¡¯ Leo muttered to himself as he continued, ¡®Where could I find the Fragments of the God Stones now?¡¯ ¡®Right! I still have the map to the [God¡¯s Ruins]; I think after finishing my revenge, I should enter it and try my luck in finding the Fragments of the God Stones.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo remembered the map to the [God¡¯s Ruins] that he found the Ambermane family and decided to enter it because the chances of gaining at least one or two Fragments of the God Stones are high inside the [God¡¯s Ruins]. ¡°Saviour Leo, what are you thinking? Are you still nning to follow my tribe¡¯s Starlight cultivation?¡± Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard the tribe leader¡¯s voice. ¡°I will try it and see whether it will be worth pursuing this cultivation path or not.¡± After saying that, Leo didn¡¯t wait for the tribe leader to ask any more questions as he replied, ¡°I will go to the Emberfields tomorrow morning.¡± Since the mission he hade to the human territory was finished, there was no reason for Leo to stay here any longer. Therefore, he wanted to go back to the Emberfields. ¡°Okay.¡± The tribe leader didn¡¯t say anything and nodded before guiding Leo to a special guest chamber. ¡°By the way, will you be okay? What if the ve Markeres back and enves you again?¡± Along the way, Leo asked the tribe leader with a calm tone. Leo thought if the ve Marker returned, he could turn all the humans in this territory into enved beings again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about us, Saviour Leo. There is no way he could turn us into enved beings again.¡± With a face full of confidence, the tribe leader assured Leo. ¡®You have so much confidence. No wonder the ve Marker turned the entire Starlight Tribe into enved beings.¡¯ Obviously, Leo couldn¡¯t believe the tribe leader¡¯s words because if they were that confident, how did they be ves to the ve Marker in the first ce? ¡°Saviour Leo, I might sound arrogant and over-confident; however, there was a reason why we became the enved beingsst time.¡± The tribe leader sensed the look on Leo¡¯s face and started exining, ¡°I am not giving any excuses for bing an enved beingst time; however, the strength of the ve Marker was only rank 9. He was not even a supremely ranked hero.¡± ¡°What? Not even a rank 9 hero?¡± Leo was shocked to the core when he heard the tribe leader¡¯s words. Chapter 241 Who said cultivation is a tediuous process? If it was a different ve Marker than his world, Leo would have been only surprised because a rank 9 hero was enving an entire tribe that was protected by a level 5 supreme-ranked hero and level 6 supreme-ranked starlight cultivator. However, Leo had already concluded that the ve Marker in both worlds were the same, making him thoroughly shocked to know the strength of the ve Marker. ¡®How can he be a rank 9 hero? How can that be?¡¯ When he learned about the existence of the ve Marker in the [Treasure Land], Leo had thought the ve Marker to have at least level 1 supreme-ranked hero strength. And when he learned the ve Marker in the Beas was the same one as the human world, Leo increased his strength to higher than level 1 supreme rank because of his ability to enve an entire tribe filled with people who were not only heroes but also cultivators. Therefore, Leo found it a little hard to ept that the ve Marker was only a rank 9 hero. ¡°That¡¯s right! He was only a rank 9 hero, and if not for my son Ewart, who was known as Empathy Guardian, we would not have been enved.¡± Fremont could not help but be slightly angry whenever he thought about his son¡¯s actions. Apparently, his son, whose heart could not stand the suffering of others, brought back an injured human to their tribe and healed his injuries. Although his son has level 3 supreme-ranked starlight cultivation, that injured human enved his son by who knows how. With the help of his enved son, the ve Marker enved the whole tribe before anyone could realize it. ¡°Other than engraving envement seals, he must have some other powerful abilities. I must be more careful when confronting him if I need to take revenge for putting me through so much pain.¡± Leo already knew the story of how the ve Marker enved the entire tribe from the ming Lion King and Aurora. However, after learning about the ve Marker¡¯s strength, Leo felt the ve Marker was even more dangerous than he thought.. Which is more dangerous? Fighting an enemy with high strength or enemy with an average strength but mysterious abilities? In Leo¡¯s perspective, thetter was more dangerous as one could not predict what someone with mysterious abilities would pull out in the middle of a fight. ¡°That¡¯s why I am not going to make the same mistake, and the moment I see him, I will kill him without hesitation.¡± The tribe leader nodded. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t he take an interest in your cultivation?¡± Even though the cultivation was a tiresome process, it has its own advantages over the Heroes¡¯ path. So, he was curious about the ve Marker and whether he also entered the Starlight Library. ¡°He was interested and wanted to enter the Starlight Library; however, I could not open the door.¡± The tribe leader slightly smiled as he continued, ¡°Apparently, the Starlight Library has its own soul, and it will not open for the outsider to enter. In the past, I didn¡¯t believe it; however, when the ve Engraver forced me to open it, I found out it was true.¡± ¡®But¡­¡± ¡°Saviour Leo was an exception, and since you have freed the entire Starlight Tribe, there are no restrictions on you. ¡° Before Leo could finish his words, the tribe leader had already answered his question, making Leo pleasantly surprised as he looked at the closed door of the Starlight Library. ¡®So the words I have seen on the shining book must be from the soul of the Starlight Library.¡¯ Leo muttered to himself and talked about a few more things with the Tribe leader before entering the guest house. ¡®Since I am not tired, I will try cultivating until morning and be a rank 1 starlight cultivator before leaving for the Emberfields.¡¯ Even though Leo went through so much for the past one day in the Human Territory, he was still full of energy, and since he decided to give cultivation a try, he set a small goal for himself in his cultivation. ¡­.. Time continued to pass; nine hours passed by in a sh, and the morning came. Inside the Starlight Tribe¡¯s guest house, With his eyes closed, Lee was sitting on a cultivation carpet in a cross-legged position. ¡®Siish¡¯ Around him, countless tiny light dots slowly but steadily entered his body. ¡®Ding, + 10 units of starlight energy have entered the host¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s Starlight Dantian ispletely full. ¡®Ding, The host has met the requirements to be a rank 1 starlight cultivator. Leo opened his eyes from the meditation when he received the system notifications. ¡®It¡¯s already full? Don¡¯t tell me nine hours have already passed?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see that his Starlight Dantian was already full and hurriedly checked how long he was cultivating. ¡®Ding, It¡¯s been nine hours, and since the host cultivated actively, he received 10 units of starlight energy every hour. ¡®It¡¯s really been 10 hours since I started my cultivation.¡¯ Leo was surprised because he felt like not even one hour had passed. ¡®Is it because of my special cultivation technique, or do all the cultivators feel the same?¡¯ He didn¡¯t know whatever the reason was; however, he felt cultivating was not as tiresome as he thought it would be. Moreover, he felt like he had taken a good nap which refreshed his mind. So, he felt he should often spend some time on cultivation to feel refreshed. ¡®Upgrade my cultivation.¡¯ Coming out of his thoughts, he ordered the system to use the 100 units of Starlight Energy to make him a rank 1 starlight cultivator. ¡®Ding, 100 units of Starlight Energy are consumed. ¡®Ding, The host is now a rank 1 Starlight Cultivator. Soon, he received the system notifications and sessfully became a rank 1 starlight cultivator; however, he didn¡¯t feel any changes physically. ¡®It might be because my body must be physically strong.¡¯ Since Leo was a rank 9 hero, his physical body was much stronger. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t feel any physical changes in his body because the increase in strength was like a drop in the ocean; it was very hard to notice the changes. ¡®However, there is still something that changed inside my body.¡¯ Even though there were no physical changes, with the increase in the cultivation, Leo could tell that his Starlight Dantian had increased. ¡®Ding, [Cultivator¡¯s Interface]. Cultivator Name: Leo. Strength: Level 1 Starlight Cultivator. Main Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique (Bronze-Grade). Starlight Dantian: 0 / 1000 units of Starlight Energy. With a thought, he summoned his [Cultivator¡¯s Interface] and checked the increase in the capacity of the Starlight Dantian. ¡®1000 units?¡¯ Leo was surprised and silently thought, ¡®It increased by 900 units by a single breakthrough in my cultivation; I wonder how much it will increase for the future ranks.¡¯ ¡®The higher my dantian capacity is, the higher the starlight energy I could store, and with a high amount of starlight energy, I can use more cultivation techniques during the fight.¡¯ Leo had already learned the benefits of having a high-capacity Starlight Dantian, and he was curious to know how much it would increase in the future. ¡®Anyway, it is time to farm the [Promote Points] and increase my talents and skills levels.¡¯ After bidding his farewell to the Starlight Tribe, Leo quietly left the human territory with his beast follower Sutin. Chapter 242 Second Bestial Mark Time continued to pass, and in a sh that day where Leo¡¯s 21-day stay in the Beas had finallye 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 thest 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 thest few days in the Beas. ¡®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 Beas. ¡®I think it is time to bid farewell to the ming Lion King.¡¯ In the Beas, the ming 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 ming Lion King¡¯s den, ¡°So, is it finally time for you to leave the Beas?¡± The moment Fury saw Leo enter his den, the ming 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 ming Lion King wanted from him. ¡°Can you be sworn brothers with my son and take him to your world?¡± The ming 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 be 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 ming 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 be 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 ande back to the Beas. Everything lies in his hands.¡¯ Fury silently muttered to himself and looked at Leo with high expectations. The ming 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 be 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 cane¡­.¡± ¡°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 Beas. ¡°Oh.¡± Even though the ming 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 ming 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 ming 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.¡¯ Chapter 243 Using [Talent Blessing Ability] The system informed Leo that as long as he used three Fragments of the God Stones, he could unlock a new system ability rted to cultivation. After experiencing how good and refreshed he felt from cultivating a single night, Leo wanted to put some effort into his part-time career as a cultivator. Therefore, if he had an ability that could assist his cultivation, Leo felt he could be a high-level cultivator within no time. ¡°Sir Fury, did you find them?¡± Fury walked out of a secret room inside his den and saw that Leo hurriedly asked with a face full of expectation. ¡°Yeah. I have one Fragment of the God Stone.¡± While saying that, the ming Lion King threw a ck-coloured stone at Leo. ¡®Only one?¡¯ Catching the Fragment of the God Stone, Leo got slightly disappointed; however, he shook his head and muttered, ¡®Getting this Fragment of the God Stone is already lucky. I just have to find another Fragment of the God Stone after going back.¡¯ Leo already has one fragment, and since he got another one from the ming Lion King, he just needed another fragment, and then he could unlock a new system ability. ¡®I can always find one Fragment of the God Stone in the [God Ruins].¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo kept the stone away and replied, ¡°Sir Fuy, for helping me again and again, I will give you something. I hope you might find it useful in your future fights.¡± After saying those words, Leo walked closer to the ming Lion King and ced his hand on Fury¡¯s head.. ¡°Sir Fury, please don¡¯t resist.¡± [Talent Blessing Ability] As soon as he said that, Leo activated his recently unlocked system ability. That¡¯s right! Leo was nning to give a Talent or a Skill to the ming Lion King because only something like that could repay for all the help and resources he received from the ming Lion King. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Even though the ming Lion King was confused about Leo¡¯s actions, he didn¡¯t resist because even if Leo tried to harm him, he could not injure him, much less kill him. ¡®Ding, The receiver of the Talent/Skill has been selected. Please select the Talent/Skill you want to give to the receiver. Soon, the system showed him a list of talents and skills that Leo has in his [Hero¡¯s Interface]. ¡®I think this skill will be quite useful to him.¡¯ Leo could not bless others with special talents, and he didn¡¯t find any useful normal talent for the ming Lion King. However, a particr skill caught his eyes, making Leo think it was a good skill for the ming Lion King. ¡®Bless¡¯ The selected skill disappeared from his [Hero¡¯s Interface] with a single word. ¡®Ding, The host has used [Talent Blessing Ability] and blessed the ming Lion king with the skill [Terra Rock Storm]. ¡®Grr¡¯ Soon, the system notification resounded in Leo¡¯s head, followed by the ming Lion King¡¯s painful growls. That¡¯s not it. Other than the painful growls, the ming Lion King¡¯s body shone with both red and brown colour. ¡°Father.¡± Watching from the side, Lionel hurriedly rushed towards his father with a worried look and asked Leo, ¡°Brother Leo, what¡¯s happening to my father?¡± ¡°Son, I am awakening a new skill¡­growl.¡± Before Leo could answer Lionel, the ming Lion King replied to his son in an excited tone while releasing painful growls. ¡°New Skill?¡± Lionel was surprised and looked at Leo with a shocked look because his father was awakening a skill thanks to Leo. ¡°Brother Leo, you are so cool.¡± Even though he didn¡¯t know how Leo was able to help his father in awakening a new skill, Lionel was happy for his father and thankful to Leo. Soon, his respect for Leo reached another level where one could say he started idolizing Leo. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Leo shook his head and waited for the ming Lion King toplete his awakening. It was not his first time using the [Talent Blessing Abiltiy] as he had already used it on his first beast follower, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant. Unlike the ming Lion King, Leo didn¡¯t give an attack-type talent or skill; instead, he gave a passive skill [Wind Resistance]. After merging his first [Wind Resistance] talent with [Poison Resistance], Leo received another [Wind Resistance], which he sessfully merged with [Fire Resistace] and turned into a [Wind/Fire Elemental Resistance]. This same talent was blessed to Sutin. ¡®I hope they can counter the elemental disadvantage with the skills and talents I bless them with.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t give them what he gave them without thinking. He did a lot of thinking and decided to give the Talent/Skill to counter their Elemental Disadvantage. [Elemental Advantage: Earth > Water > Fire > Wind > Earth] Even though his beast follower Sutin has good physical strength, talents, and skills, he is weak against Wind-rted attacks because of the elemental advantage. Therefore, he gave Sutin a passive [Wind/Fire Elemental Resitance] that could decrease the overall power of the wind and fire-rted attacks by a certain percentage depending on his talent level. Simrly, the ming Lion King would be disadvantaged while fighting the same ranked water-type beasts and monsters. Since he didn¡¯t have an extra [Water Resistance], Leo selected a skill that could deal insane damage to the water-type beasts, which was none other than [Terra Rock Storm]. ¡°Leo, I didn¡¯t expect you to have the ability to awaken others¡¯ skills, much less awakening a skill that waspletely different from my element.¡± Soon, Fury finished awakening his new skill and looked at Leo with shocked eyes. Even though he was already shocked at the fact that Leo could help others in awakening their skills, the ming Lion King didn¡¯t expect to awaken an earth-elemental skill like [Terra Rock Storm] which was a powerful skill of the Terra Bull Tyrant. ¡°I hope it can be helpful to you in your future battle against the water-type beasts and monsters.¡± Even though no one is stronger than the ming Lion King in the Beas, that doesn¡¯t mean there were no stronger beasts or beings in other worlds who might visit the Beas just like how Leo did. Moreover, there would be a grade 2 world assessment in the future where more and more powerful monsterse out of the portals. Therefore, Leo hoped the skill he blessed to the ming Lion King would be very useful. ¡°It will be very useful to me. Thank you for such a valuable gift.¡± Fury thanked Leo, and he could not wait to use and upgrade his newly awakened skill. ¡°Then, I will leave now, Sir Fury.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to stay there, fearing that the ming Lion King might ask more questions about his ¡®Ability to help others in awakening their skills¡¯. Hence, he bid the ming Lion King farewell and left the Emberfields with Sutin and Lionel. ¡°Your Majesty, I have made up my mind.¡± After Leo and Lionel left the den, the rank 9 ming lion Skye said a few words to Fury, who remained silent for a moment before nodding. ¡°If you are sessful in persuading him, please take care of Lionel.¡± Fury said those words before leaving his den to test his new skill. ¡­ Outside the Emberfields, ¡®Ding, A beast hero and a human hero acknowledge you as their leader and wants to follow you. Will you ept them? ¡®¡­¡¯ Suddenly, a system notification appeared in Leo¡¯s head, making him speechless. Chapter 244 New Followers ¡®Now, who wants to be my followers?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t agree directly as he checked who wanted to follow him. ¡®Ding, 1) Skye, the rank 9 ming lion. 2) Arlo, the level 2 supreme-ranked hero and a level 3 supreme-ranked starlight cultivator. ¡®Huh? I understand why Skye wants to follow me; however, what¡¯s with this brat? He wants to follow me?¡¯ Since the rank 9 ming lion was his guide for one of his farming sessions in the wilderness and even witnessed his ability to help others in awakening their talents or skills, Leo was not surprised that Skye wanted to be his follower. However, he raised his brows to see Arlo¡¯s name on his want-to-be follower¡¯s list. ¡®I think it must have something to do with Aurora. Did she see another [Prophecy] rted to me?¡¯ Without much thinking, Leo concluded that Aurora must be the reason why Arlo wants to be his follower. ¡°Since I need a follower from three different lion tribes, I should just ept Skye.¡± Even though he spent less time with Skye, that rank 9 ming lion left quite an impression on Leo.. Moreover, one of the requirements to upgrade his [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] was to gain at least one lion follower from three different lion tribes. So, he thought to ept him. However, looking at the second name on the holographic screen, Leo was not sure whether to ept him as his follower or not. ¡®His cultivation and hero strength is good. I think I should ept him as he would be quite useful during the world assessment.¡¯ However, the longer he thought about Arlo, Leo felt it was okay to ept him. ¡°Sir Leo.¡± Soon, Leo heard two voices calling him from two directions, making him mutter, ¡®Looks like they are here already.¡¯ From one direction, a rank 9 ming lion and Aurora and Arlo walked towards him in another direction. ¡°Sir Leo, I want to be your follower. Can you please let me follow you to your world?¡± As soon as they walked close to Leo, Skye was the one first to request Leo to be his follower. Soon after, Arlo said the same words. ¡°Give me a good reason why you want to follow me, and why should I let you follow me?¡± Leo didn¡¯t reject them because he found both of them useful; however, at the same time, he didn¡¯t ept them as he wanted to know their true objectives in bing his follower. ¡°As long as I follow Sir Leo, I will be a powerful beast hero without a doubt.¡± Skye had already prepared well enough to convince Leo. Therefore, when he heard Leo¡¯s question, Skye didn¡¯t hesitate and said his true objective, making Leo nod. ¡°Even though I am only a rank 9 beast hero, I can scout the dangerous areas with my special talent [Explorer].¡± At the same time, Skye politely replied to Leo about what he was best at and how useful he could be. ¡°Selected.¡± Leo had long decided to ept Skye to meet the requirements for his talent upgradation; however, he didn¡¯t expect Skye to have a good scouting-type talent. Since there were many [Uncleared Lands] in the human world, Leo felt Skye could be his scout. ¡°What about you?¡± Next, Leo looked at Arlo and asked in a calm tone. ¡°I always wanted to visit a human world. Since I can¡¯t go to Starlight World, I wanted to visit your human world. So, I am willing to be a follower of the ¡®Chosen one¡¯ to enter the human world.¡± Arlo looked at his sister for a moment and continued, ¡°Also, I heard that your world would have the World Assessment. So, I don¡¯t think I need to show my strength to you, right?¡± ¡®He is right! I could use someone like him, a supreme-ranked cultivator and a hero for world assessment.¡¯ Leo had already thought about it and nodded, ¡°If you be my follower, you need to follow my orders. You know that, right?¡± If a follower can¡¯t follow his orders, then why should he need a follower? So, Leo gave onest chance to Arlo to think about his decision. ¡°As long as they are not unreasonable, I will follow them without any hesitation.¡± However, Arlo didn¡¯t think much as he replied with a deep bow. ¡°It looks like you have already made up your mind.¡± Leo nodded at Arlo before looking at Aurora and asked, ¡°Do you have anything to say to me?¡± ¡°The World Assessment for your world is going to be difficult. You need to increase your strength as much as possible.¡± Aurora thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Also, don¡¯t forget to increase your cultivation and please take care of my brother.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Leo shook his head, sure that Aurora had seen something about him. ¡®Even if she didn¡¯t ask me to increase my strength, I will be doing that.¡¯ He had already nned to increase his strength as much as possible and, at the same time, focus on cultivation after unlocking his new system ability. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, a portal to the human world appeared before them. Leo was not worried that he could not bring Skye and his other followers to his world because the system had already informed him that he could bring his followers without any problem. As for Lionel, he was the sworn brother of Leo now, and the system naturally allowed him to enter the portal. Without wasting any time, Leo, Lionel, Sutin, Arlo and Skye entered the portal that leads to the human world. ¡­.. In some unknown city, the Human world. ¡°What? How did they be free?¡± Jayden woke up from sleep when he sensed the special seals heid on the starlight tribe¡¯s people in the Beas. ¡°I can¡¯t even feel the connection with the little bear and the tribe leader of the Starlight Tribe.¡± He became more and more furious when he thought about losing an entire tribe full of enved beings. ¡°Damn it¡­the world assessment ising closer day by day, and I just lost a strong cultivator tribe from my grasp. It looks like someone from the higher grade world must have freed them.¡± That was the only possibility Jayden coulde to after thinking for a moment because only someone from a higher grade world could free the entire tribe without losing a single cultivator. ¡®If someone from a higher grade world entered the Beas, it is better for me to give up on the Beas and focus on my other two worlds and this world.¡¯ After cursing his luck for some time, Jayden epted his loss, decided to give up on the Beas and focused on fully conquering the other two worlds in which he had already gained a good foothold. ¡°Also, City leader Theodore must have finished his research on the stabilized portal in the Solitary Forest with the help of the Gori. I need to conquer that world and enve everything in it.¡± When he thought about the stabilized portal close to Phirie City, Jayden¡¯s anger decreased a little as hemunicated with someone through voice transmission. ¡®Gori, forget about the Spectre¡¯s killer. It is finally time to enter that portal.¡¯ ¡®Yes¡­just focus on your safety and collect as much information as possible on that world beforeing back. If we can conquer it, you will be the King of that World.¡¯ After finishing hismunication with his enved follower, Jayden muttered, ¡®It¡¯s time I break through to the Supreme Rank.¡¯ Chapter 245 Return The south-east corner of the Phirie City, In Leo¡¯s room, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A portal opened in Leo¡¯s room as Leo and his followers walked out of it. ¡°Even though the environment in a grade 1 world is good, there is nothing better thaning back.¡± Leo took a deep breath, and as he muttered those words. ¡°Wow¡­this ce lookspletely different from my tribe.¡± Looking out of the window, Arlo caught a glimpse of the Phirie city and marvelled at the designed buildings in the distance. Arlo was born after the Starlight world¡¯s people were teleported to the Beas, and their technology was not advanced to begin with, as they mostly relied on cultivation. Therefore, after settling in the Starlight Tribe, they mostly focused on increasing their strength since the Beas is a grade 1 world which made the Starlight Tribe underdeveloped. So, when Arlo saw the unique structures, he was in awe and could not wait to go out to see them from a close distance. Lionel waszily lying in Leo¡¯s arms as though he didn¡¯t care much about this human world because he knew he would be spending quite a while in this world. So, he felt there was no need to rush things. As for Sutin and Skye, they were not as curious as Arlo as they silently stood behind Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Master, you are finally back.¡±. As Leo felt nice to return to his world, a silhouette jumped out of his shadow and was about to hug him. ¡°Putong¡± However, before he could hug Leo, Sutin stepped forward and stopped the shadow vampire with a single hand. ¡°Who are you? Let me go.¡± dimir looked at the minotaur with a displeased look; however, in front of a level 7 supreme-ranked minotaur, there was nothing a rank 9 shadow vampire could do. ¡°Yeah! I am back.¡± With a slight smile, Leo replied to dimir and asked, ¡°There is no need to hug me as I already know you must have missed me just like always, right?¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The shadow vampire nodded and looked at the minotaur and others in the room before asking, ¡°By the way, Master, who are they?¡± ¡°They are my new followers.¡± Leo¡¯s next words shocked dimir, ¡°If you want to be useful, you need to increase your strength as soon as possible; otherwise, you will be left behind.¡± ¡°What?¡± Among the three new followers he brought from the Beas, two had level 7 and level 2 supreme-ranked strength, respectively, whereas the third follower¡¯s role was a scout who relies on his scouting talent more than his strength. Therefore, Leo¡¯s words triggered the shadow vampire as he hurriedly said, ¡°Master, from today, I will work hard and don¡¯t fool around anymore.¡± There was a serious look on the vampire¡¯s face, making Leo could not help but smile, ¡®Finally, I found a way to focus him on increasing his strength.¡¯ ¡°Bulter Davies, guide them to the avable rooms in the manor.¡± Soon, Leo asked the butler and asked him to take care of the rooms for his followers. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± ¡°Go and rest. We will get busy very soon.¡± Turning his head to his followers, Leo asked them to rest as everyone was a little exhausted after using the portal. Moreover, they travelled between the worlds. So, they needed some time to adjust to the new environment. ¡°Yes, Brother Leo.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Leo.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Arlo, Skye and Sutin nodded before following Bulter Davis to their rooms. ¡°dimir, take Moonlight to her child.¡± Next, he summoned the Purple-horned moonlight unicorn and ordered the shadow vampire to reunite her with her child. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± dimir nodded and took the Moonlight Unicorn with him to where the little pony was ying. ¡®Master is surrounded by so many supreme-ranked followers. Even though I know the master was joking when he said he would abandon me, I need to work hard and increase my strength to be useful to the master.¡¯ The Shadow Vampire became surprised to see that the Moonlight Unicorn was not only freed from her ve, but she also became a supreme-ranked being, making dimir a little cornered about his usefulness in the future. Therefore, he swore to work hard to increase his strength, and while carrying Lionel in his arms, he guided the Moonlight Unicorn. ¡®I think I should cultivate it for some time to feel refreshed.¡¯ Even though he was relieved to return to the home world in one piece, the time difference between the worlds strained him mentally. And ording to him, the best way to get refreshed was not by sleeping; instead, it was by cultivating. So, after sending everyone, Leo thought of cultivating for a while until everyone gets used to this world¡¯s time speed. ¡®I didn¡¯t have any problemst time because I lost consciousness as soon as I entered the Beas; however, I feel how bad it is to travel between worlds.¡¯ Leo sat on his bed without any further ado and started circting the [Special Starlight Refining Technique]. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh. ¡®Ding, The host has absorbed one hundred units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Huh? 100 units?¡¯ Leo was shocked when he heard the system¡¯s words in his head and thought, ¡®Isn¡¯t it only 10 units?¡¯ ¡®Ding, There are 10 times more stars in this worldpared to Beas. ¡®Ding, Therefore, the host can absorb the starlight energy ten times faster than in the Beas. ¡®Ding, Main Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique (Bronze-Grade). Starlight Dantian: 901 / 1000 units of Starlight Energy. Note: 1) the host¡¯s body will passively absorb 10 units of Starlight Energy per hour because of the cultivation technique. 2) When actively using the cultivation technique, 100 units of Starlight Energy can be absorbed per hour. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Leo, exining the reasons for the sudden increase in the absorption speed of the starlight energy. ¡®What a pleasant surprise!¡¯ Leo could not help but be surprised and felt, ¡®If it is 10 times faster, I can increase my starlight cultivation much faster than I expected.¡¯ Without further ado, Leo resumed circting his starlight refining technique to increase his cultivation. After one hour, he received another 100 units of Starlight Energy and filled his Starlight Dantian. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a rank 2 starlight warrior. After using 1000 units of starlight energy, he upgraded his cultivation, increasing his Starlight Dantian¡¯s capacity to 2000 units. ¡®Let¡¯s continue.¡¯ Without any exnation, Leo knew he needed 2000 units of Starlight Energy to increase his cultivation again. Time continued to pass, and in a sh, nearly one day had passed since Leo returned to the human world. For thest day, Leo waspletely focused on Starlight Cultivation. In the beginning, he started only to feel refreshed; however, he set a small goal of reaching rank 3 before stopping his cultivation. ¡®Ding, One hundred units of starlight energy have entered the host¡¯s body. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s Starlight Dantian ispletely full. ¡®Ding, The host has met the requirements to be a rank 3 starlight cultivator. Do you want to spend 2000 units of Starlight Energy to break through? Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his head, waking him up from his cultivation. Chapter 246 [Bonus Chapter] Revenge Time ¡®Yes.¡¯ There was no hesitation as he agreed, and soon, his Starlight Dantian became empty. ¡®Ding, Two thousand units of Starlight Energy are consumed. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a rank 3 Starlight Cultivator. There was no pain whatsoever as Leo instantly became a rank 3 Starlight Cultivator. ¡®The side effect from traveling between the worlds has finally disappeared, and thanks to my increase in Starlight Cultivation, I feel refreshed.¡¯ Leo opened his eyes which shone briefly before revealing clear eyes. ¡®Not only do I feel refreshed, but I also sense I became a little stronger.¡¯ Previously when he broke through to rank 1 or rank 2 starlight cultivation stages, Leo could not sense the increase in his strength because it was very minute. However, after bing a rank 3 starlight cultivator, he could sense those changes which were still minute.. ¡®Ding, [Cultivator¡¯s Interface]. Cultivator Name: Leo. Strength: Level 3 Starlight Cultivator. Starlight Dantian: 1 / 3000 units of Starlight Energy. ¡®My Starlight Dantian has increased by another 1000 units, which means I have to fill the whole 3000 units to make another breakthrough.¡¯ Leo felt 3000 units was not much because of the changed effects of the [Special Starlight Refining Technique]. If he actively cultivated, it only needs 30 hours to be a rank 4 Starlight Cultivator. ¡®Compared to a regr [Hero¡¯s path], my Starlight Cultivation was much faster.¡¯ In [Hero¡¯s path], a hero has to use his talent to upgrade its level repeatedly, and upon sessful upgradation in talent¡¯s level, the hero¡¯s rank will be upgraded. However, it would take days or even weeks to gain sufficient experience to be a rank 3 hero; however, Leo could increase his starlight cultivation much faster. Moreover, during cultivation, he doesn¡¯t have to fight or use any cultivation techniques¡­at least not for now. ¡®Anyway, for a side career, I have spent more than enough time on it.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to resume his cultivation as he had other ns to do now since his ¡®World-Travelling Sickness¡¯ had gone. ¡°It¡¯s time to finish my revenge and break through to the Supreme rank.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to waste any time taking revenge on Theodore, and finding out the real reason behind why his adoptive parents got killed was not the end. It is the beginning of his new life in which he will no longer be shackled by revenge. ¡®Once I finish my revenge, I can finally return to the family and live my new life.¡¯ Of course, he didn¡¯t forget about the World Assessment. While living with his family, Leo nned to increase his strength, and at the same time, he also nned to increase the strength of his family and friends for the uing World Assessment. ¡®As for the ve Marker, I will keep an eye and ear out for him; however, my main focus should be on bing powerful for the World Assessment.¡¯ Leo always preferred survival over instant revenge, and that¡¯s how he survived while fueling his desire for revenge to be powerful. ¡®As long as I survive long enough in this godforsaken world, there wille an opportunity for me to take revenge.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo stood up and decided to go out. ¡®Ding, A new system mission [Time for Revenge] has been issued. Open the mission to check for more details. Suddenly, a system notification appeared in his head, making Leo reveal a cold smile. ¡®System, you are giving me the perfect mission at the perfect time.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Time for Revenge. Mission Objective: As the name suggests,plete your revenge on the City leader Theodore. Additional Objective: Complete the mission as secretly as possible without others knowing about it. Reward: 1) Removal of the Inner Demon. 2) A Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit (The host can choose whichever element he wants). Additional Reward: 1) A City Creation Token (Gold). More Information: Currently, the system detected the target is not in the city. It is the best and easiest way for the host toplete the revenge with his own hands. Note: 1) The system will project a map guiding the host to the target¡¯s location. 2) Completing the mission without the help of his followers would give additional rewards. Soon, the full details of the mission appeared before him, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®He is not in the city? The system will project a map?¡¯ The more he read about the mission, the more surprised he became because he didn¡¯t expect the system even to project a map for his target. ¡®System, I am nning to take my revenge secretly even if you didn¡¯t mention it.¡¯ Since Leo has a level 7 supreme-ranked beast follower, he would naturally be the most powerful hero in the human world; however, that doesn¡¯t mean he would be a tyrant and kill whoever he wanted. Most of the residents of this world don¡¯t know about the organizations in this world except for the city leader and the mighty heroes, including Leo. The strength of the leaders of these organizations was at least level 3 supreme rank or even higher. ¡°If I openly kill a city leader, I would be treated as a traitor of the human race, and those secret organisations either recruit me or kill me. I¡¯m not too fond of either option. So, it is better to take care of things as secretly as possible.¡± Leo¡¯s other identity, ¡®The Talent Swallowing Hero,¡¯ was already hunted by the city leaders and some of these organizations. Therefore, he didn¡¯t want to do any things that might put him and his family in danger using his real identity. ¡®Ding, The map has been generated. Please open it, and you will find your target¡¯s location on it. As soon as he closed the previous system window, the system informed him about the map. ¡®Let¡¯s see how it works¡­Open.¡¯ With a thought, he opened the map and found a red dot blinking on the location ¡®Solitary Forest¡¯. ¡®He is in the Solitary Forest? What a good ce to bury him!¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo left the manor after checking on his followers, who were still recovering from the ¡®World-Travelling Sickness¡¯. ***** 10 Ice Cs = 1 Bonus Chapter. Chapter 247 Failed Expedition? [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Once Leo decided on his target, he didn¡¯t waste any time as he used his talent repeatedly, and after using it ten times, Leo had already reached the Solitary Forest. For this mission, even though he had to kill a Supreme-ranked hero, Leo didn¡¯t bring any of his followers for multiple reasons; however, the main reason was he wanted to fulfil his revenge on his own. Another reason was he would get additional rewards if hepleted a mission without relying on anyone. ¡®Since Theodore is outside the city, don¡¯t have any problem.¡¯ Even before entering the Beas, Leo decided to kill Theodore the moment he found an opportunity where he left the city. Now, not only did Leo have more powerful talents and skills, but he even got an opportunity toplete his revenge. Therefore, there was no way Leo would miss it and use his own battle prowess to fulfil his revenge and find out the truth. ¡®He is in the depths of the Solitary Forest. I think I kow why he left the city.¡¯ Finally, Leo realized and muttered, ¡®It must be because of the [Otherworldly Portal].¡¯ When he was in the [Treasure Land], Leo found out about the [Otherworldly Portal] in the unclearednds close to Phirie City, and he also found out that the City Leader was nning an expedition into the portal.. ¡®Did they already enter the portal?¡¯ Leo thought about it for a moment; however, he rejected it after considering, ¡®No. Since I can still see him on the map, he must have not started his expedition.¡¯ ¡®I need to hurry up and kill him before he enters the otherworld portal.¡¯ Leo wanted to end his revenge as soon as possible so that he could have a breakthrough and make enough preparations for the uing World Assessment. Hence, he teleported in the direction of the red dot that was on the map. ¡­.. In the depths of the [Solitary Forest], ¡°How could that world be so powerful?¡± ¡°Damn you, Theodore¡­.Didn¡¯t you say, it was just a grade 1 world ¡° ¡°Theodore, are you nning to kill us or what?¡± A group of supreme-ranked human heroes were all cursing Theodore, and some tried to hit him. If not for the muscr supreme-ranked hero stopping the other heroes, They would have vented their full anger on Theodore without a doubt. There are around 10 supreme-ranked beings, including Theodore. The most noticeablemon thing among all these 10 supreme-ranked beings as they were covered in some serious injuries. ¡°Everyone,e down. Theodore has done his job correctly; however, it¡¯s just that the grade 1 world was more powerful than what the master had said.¡± The muscr man was Gori; the ve Engraver sent that to assist Theodore and the other city leaders in entering the portal. That¡¯s right! Other than Gori, every supreme-ranked human hero standing in front of the portal were the city leaders of different cities. Theodore was responsible for the portal¡¯s research and the world connected to the portal. Hence, all supreme-ranked heroes med Theodore when things went south on the other side of the portal. ¡°Did you forget that I lost my own children? If I had known that the world connected to this portal is that powerful, why would I bring my children and let them get killed in it.¡± Theodore was both angry and sad as he shouted at the other city leaders. Not only did he lose all the rank 9 city guards he brought with him to the other side, he even lost his children, making him regret his decision to bring them. ¡°You are not the only one who lost family. If not for my brother¡¯s sacrifice, we would have been buried in the otherworld¡¯s soil.¡± ¡°Also, did you forget the sacrifice of our rank 9 city guards and other powerful heroes?¡± Soon, one city leader after another startedining about their losses. ¡°Everyone, stop it.¡± Seeing the city leaders behaving like children, Gori became furious and shouted at them before saying, ¡°This expedition is a failure and an utter disaster for us. Everyone lost their battle force, and there is no denying it.¡± Even though Gori was the youngest and weakest supreme-ranked hero among them, no one dared to talk back to him because Gori had a special rtionship with their master. ¡°Let me inform everything that happened on the otherside of the portal to the master and let¡¯s see what order he will give us.¡± Soon, he ended his words by saying, ¡°Until then, go back to your city and tend to your injuries.¡± ¡°Okay¡± Everyone agreed with Goriall because there was nothing they could do other than waiting for their master¡¯s orders. ¡°Gori, what about the portal? Are we going to leave it like that?¡± One of the city leaders asked Gori and continued, ¡°What if those b*stardse out of the portal? Instead of conquering their world, our world will get conquered by them.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them. If they coulde, they would have long since entered our world.¡± Gori assured them, ¡°For now, just focus on recovering your strength and replenishing your battle force.¡± ¡°You can all leave now.¡± Soon, Gori asked all the city leaders except Theodore to leave, who nodded and flew in different directions. ¡°Gori, please put a good word for me.¡± After the city leaders left, Theodore didn¡¯t seem sad at all as he requested the muscr man. ¡°Even though I calm the other city leaders, do you think the master would let you go after not doing your job properly?¡± Gori scoffed at Theodore and said, ¡°We lost so many rank 9 heroes and master would be definitely angry. I will go and inform the master of everything in person. Hope for the worst and be ready to prepare the consequences..¡± As soon as he finished his words, Gori flew into the sky and shot in a particr direction like a missile. ¡°Damn it¡­how can everyone me me for everything?¡± Theodore was increasingly angry at the fact that everyone was ming him. ¡°I did what they asked me to do and now, what would I do if the residents of that world were so powerful?¡± ¡°I think it is time for me to recruit once again.¡± Even though he lost his family and the entire rank 9 force, Theodore was not worried much because he never relied too much on them. ¡°After fighting in that world, my talent became a little stronger and I can feel like I might be a level 2 supreme-ranked hero anything now.¡± Theodore clenched his fists and muttered, ¡°Master values strength. As long as I prove to him that I am worthy to be his servant, he will forgive me and give me another chance.¡± Theodore felt that his only way to escape the ve Marker¡¯s punishment was by increasing his strength. ¡°I should go back now and recuperate and upgrade my strength.¡± With that thought in mind, Theodore decided to fly to Phirie City. ¡°Where do you think you are going, City Leader Theodore?¡± Just as he was about to fly away, a huge green-coloured tornado came at him, following a familiar voice. ¡°Who are you? Leo?¡± Theodore frowned as he looked at Leo, squinting his eyes and recognizing the voice¡¯s owner. ****** ICE COLAS X 10 = ONE BONUS CHAPTER. Chapter 248 Fighting Theodore A few minutes back, Leo followed the red dot on the map only to see a group of city leaders fighting about something. He used [Space Maniption ¨C Secret Dimensional Space], walked closer to them, and listened to their entire conversation. ¡®These city leaders have a master?¡¯ Leo was shocked to hear that they all serve a master, and he suddenly thought of something. [Seal Swallowing Ability ¨C Additional Effect] Leo used his ability to check whether their master was the same person. ¡®If they have envement seals, I can conclude who their master is; otherwise, I have to think about my future ns.¡¯ However, there were no pop-ups above the city leaders¡¯ and the muscr man¡¯s heads, making Leo silent and thinking about something. As for what he was thinking, no one knows. ¡®I think he must be a leader of one of the secret orgnaizations.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo concluded the identity of the leader of these city leaders. Even though he didn¡¯t know what kind of person their leader was, he didn¡¯t care whether that so-called master would be taking revenge on him for killing one of his servants. That¡¯s right! Even though he already knew almost all the city leaders in this world act righteous on the surface, they were nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who could do things there were unimaginable for the normal heroes and people.. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t care about them or the world as he was not a samaritan to care for this god-forsaken world. Since Theodore was the only one he had a feud with, Leo nned to kill only him. ¡®Also, they lost their forces on the other side of the protal? Is that world that powerful?¡¯ Leo nced at the portal in the distance from his Secret Dimensional Space and frowned. After returning from the Beas, Leo realized how powerful the other worlds could be. However, all these city leaders still have the strength of a level 1 to level 3 supreme rank, and adding with their strong rank 9 city guards, and it was a powerful lineup to at least not get massacred. ¡®What¡¯s more, Theodore was sure that it was a grade 1 world. It looks like that world is much more powerful than Beas.¡¯ Leo¡¯s curiosity about the world connected to the portal increased, and he wanted to enter it. The more powerful the natives of the world are, the more powerful talents he could swallow and the higher the experience he would gain. ¡®No. For now, I will just focus on bing a supreme-ranked hero and unlock a new system ability by collecting another fragment of the God Stone.¡¯ Leo knew how dangerous the grade 1 worlds could be, no matter how curious he was. So, he decided to upgrade his strength and visit the world connected to the portal. Of course, he would be taking some powerful followers with him when he entered the portal. ¡®System, won¡¯t it be dangerous if such powerful beings enter this gradeless world?¡¯ Suddenly, he heard the city leader raise a question, and he got the same doubt. Hence he asked the system about it. He was not worried about the world; he was worried about his friends, family, and followers in it. If the beings in that world are ferocious, they will ughter everyone in this world before conquering it. If they were intelligent and could enve others, they would turn everyone in this world into ves. The life of an enved being Leo didn¡¯t want to experience again, and more importantly, he didn¡¯t want anyone close to him to experience it. ¡®Ding, The host does not need to worry about it¡­at least not until the world assessment begins. ¡®Ding, When a portal connects two worlds, the natives of a lower grade world can easily traverse the world; however, the natives from the higher grade world can¡¯t traverse unless they use certain methods. Soon, the system sent two notifications, exining to him the rules of the portal connecting two worlds with different grades. ¡®Oh¡¯ Leo thought there was no fairness in this world; however, when he heard the rules, he felt there was still a tiny bit left in this world. ¡®Then what about after the world assessment begins?¡¯ Since the World Assessment for this world might start anytime after five months. Five months was not enough for them to beat the native of the grade 1 world. ¡®Ding, When the world assessment begins, there won¡¯t be even that little bit of fairness anymore. ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo remained silent and shook his head before looking at the city leaders who flew in different directions. ¡®I think it is time for my revenge.¡¯ ¡­.. Present time, ¡®When did he arrive here?¡¯ Seeing Leo¡¯s sudden appearance, the city leader Theodore frowned and silently thought, ¡®Did he hear everything? No¡­even if he didn¡¯t hear, it is better to take care of him.¡¯ Even though Leo might be close to the Starlight Cty¡¯s city leader; however, Theodore didn¡¯t care much about it. ¡°Kid, I don¡¯t know why you would dare to enter this deep into the Uncleared Land; however, you are staying here forever.¡± His master didn¡¯t want anyone to know that Theodore was a servant serving a master. Moreover, Leo witnessed a group of city leaders talking about their ¡®Master¡¯. It was more than enough reason to kill Leo. [Space Maniption ¨C Secret Dimensional Space] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as the city leader Theodore decided to kill Leo to keep his secret a secret, he saw Leo walking into a small portal. ¡®Damn it¡­I forget this bastard as the [Teleportation] talent. I should not let him escape.¡¯ Even though the city leader Theodore didn¡¯t know how, he wanted to find Leo and kill him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Spatial Triple sh ¨C First sh] However, before thinking of a n, he noticed the space in front of him distorted a little as a silver-coloured sword shed his chest. ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ However, when the sword touched Theodore¡¯s chest, there was a metallic sound as though his body was made of metal. ¡®Damn it¡­the strike is powerful.¡¯ Theodore¡¯s talent was [Metal Maniption], and he always maintained a thin but strong metallic armor under his skin from sneak attacks. Even so, Leo¡¯s strike just now left a small cut on the metallic armor beneath his skin, making Theodore take Leo seriously. ¡®Does his inner metallic armor was weaker or is it just that my attack is more powerful?¡¯ On the other hand, Leo was not surprised by the inner metallic armor; instead, he was surprised that he could cut through that armor in his first strike itself. Thanks to his second system upgrade, Leo could now see the full information on level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beings without a problem. Hence, he already knew about that inner metallic armor. Therefore, he decided to use his talent [Spatial Triple sh] that was merged bybining the [Spatial sh] and the [Triple Strike]. ¡®It looks like I can make him kneel after Iplete my three shes.¡¯ Leo revealed an evil smile and resumed his attack. [Spatial Triple sh ¨C Second sh] ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Aargh¡¯ This time, the sh was much deeper than before. So, Theodore could help but groan in pain and shout, ¡°Why are you trying to kill me? Why did I do that to you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will let you know before killing you.¡± ¡­. ICE COLAS X 10 = ONE BONUS CHAPTER. Chapter 249 [Bonus chapter] Dark Metal Manipulation - Dark Domain ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will let you know before killing you.¡± Leo didn¡¯t want to waste his time talking with the city leader Theodore and also, his main goal was to kill him; instead, he was nning to injure him before starting his interrogation. Therefore Leo said that he would let Theodore know the reason why he was attacking him. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Leo reply, Theodore frowned and thought, ¡®Did he sense I am going to kill him?¡¯ Theodore didn¡¯t think much before rejecting that thought, ¡®No¡­I didn¡¯t even emit my killing intent before he started attacking me. He must have had some other reason for trying to kill me.¡¯ [Metal Maniption ¨C Absolute Defense] Even though he didn¡¯t find the reason behind Leo¡¯s killing intent towards him, Theodore didn¡¯t treat Leo as a normal rank 9 hero anymore; instead, he treated Leo as an experienced supreme-ranked hero. Therefore, he didn¡¯t hesitate to use the strongest effect of his talent. ¡®Absolute Defense? Interesting.¡¯ As for Leo, he looked at Theodore, who was shining under the sun and muttered, ¡®Let¡¯s see whether his Absolute Defense wins or my Thrid sh wins.¡¯ [Spatial Triple sh ¨C Third sh] Without hesitation, Leo used his third sh from the special talent [Spatial Triple sh], which increased the damage by five hundred percent. ¡®ng¡¯. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Even though Theodore was alert and kept an eye on Leo¡¯s attack, he was still a little slow and could not dodge the third sh whichnded on his chest. A loud metallic sound followed a crispy noise as though something broke resounded in the surroundings. ¡®What?¡¯ Both Leo and Theodore were shocked at the scene of both getting bacshes from their collision. Leo was sent away a few meters back in the Secret Dimensional Space, whereas the City Leader Theodore was sent a dozen meters back. ¡°If I didn¡¯t activate my [Absolute Defense], it would have seriously injured me.¡± ¡°I barely sent him flying with one of my strongest attacks. Moreover, other than a single cut, he waspletely fine.¡± Obviously, they were shocked at each other¡¯s capabilities. ¡®Cough¡¯ Theodore coughed a mouthful of bad blood, and he was no longer shining under the ground, indicating that their powerful defense had disappeared. ¡°Are you rted to the previous city leader?¡± Adjusting his breathing, Theodore stood up from the ground and asked Leo who was inside the Secret Dimensional Space. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry! Didn¡¯t I say I will let you know before killing you? So, be patient.¡± Leo suppressed his shock at Theodore¡¯s insane defense and scoffed at him. ¡°Brat, you finally managed to anger me to the point where I don¡¯t mind injuring myself in the process.¡± The usual gentle look that Theodore put on his face in front of his city¡¯s residents had long disappeared, and right now, his face looked evil, and he took out a ck-coloured pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. ¡®Huh? What did he consume just now?¡¯ Leo frowned as he felt a bad premonition in his heart. ¡°I think you might be the rtive of one of those I took care of, to get to my current position; however, I don¡¯t care who you are or why you are trying to kill me. You will be buried here, in this Uncleared Lands forever.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as Theodore finished his words, ck-coloured energy came out of his body and surrounded him and turned into a ck-metallic armor around his body. ¡°Kid, are you getting scared now?¡± In the next second, Theodore chuckled with an evil look on his face and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t even think of escaping because even if you want, you can no longer escape from here.¡± [Dark Metal Maniption ¨C Dark Domain] As soon as he activated his most powerful talent¡¯s effect, one kilometer radius around him was surrounded by pitch-ck clouds and turned the entire area pitch-ck. ¡®Rooar¡¯ ¡®Hiss¡¯ All the monsters and beasts in that one kilometer escaped without hesitation, leaving behind two monsters in the guise of humans named Theodore and Leo alone to fight to their heart¡¯s content. ¡®Huh? Dark Domain?¡¯ Leo frowned as he could not see anything beside it was too dark; however, he was not worried much because he had many support-type talents and skills to use in different situations. [Super Vision ¨C Night Mode] Leo¡¯s pupils glowed yellow-coloured as he could see inside the pitch-ck domain as clear as day. ¡®Ding, The owner of the domain changed spatialws inside the domain. The host can¡¯t use teleport. ¡®Ding, Due to the constant change of the spatialws in the domain, the host can¡¯t maintain the [Secret Dimensional Space] for much longer. ¡®Ding, Please move out of the [Secret Dimensional Space] for every one minute before entering it to avoid the destruction of the [Secret Dimensional Space]. Just as Leo thought he had cleared one problem, a series of system notifications appeared in his head, bringing a series of problems. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ Leo was already surprised that he could not see Theodore¡¯s new ability through the [Hero Assessment], and now, he was shocked to find out that he could not teleport anymore. What¡¯s more, he could not even stay in his [Secret Dimensional Space] for his usual time of 10 minutes. ¡°I know you are hiding somewhere close to me. Until youe out of your hiding ce, I will be changing the spatialws in this region¡­.Keke.¡± Theodore chuckled as he waited for Leo to leave his hiding ce. ¡®I can¡¯t even walk in the [Secret Dimensional Space] anymore.¡¯ Leo tried to move away from the so-called Dark Domain; however, the space inside the [Secret Dimensional Space] was aplete mess. It stopped Leo from moving inside the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ¡®It looks like I have to confront him directly now.¡¯ However, Leo was calm and thought of a n before he got kicked out of the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ¡°I am here.¡± As soon as he came out of the secret dimensional space, Leo had a slight smile on his face as he revealed his location. However, he put an act of squinting his eyes to see in the darkness, hiding the fact that he could clearly see in the Dark Domain. ¡°Oh. There you are.¡± Theodore turned around and saw Leo, and the slight smile on Leo¡¯s face made Theodore frown, ¡®Why is he smiling at a time like this? Does he have a trump card or something?¡¯ He had never seen anyone smile when they were nearing death. So, he feared that Leo might have a trump card to kill him. ¡®I have to be careful. This litlte b*stard is really mysterious and he even made me use my secret technique. I have to kill him as soon as possible.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Theodore summoned his sword, a quasi-supreme ranked weapon. ¡®I need to make good use of my Dark Domain.¡¯ ¡®Die¡¯ Without wasting any time, Theodore shed his sword at Leo, thinking that Leo could not see him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, Leo fully opened his eyes and easily dodged the attack before walking closer to Theodore. ¡°It looks like you can see inside my Dark Domain without any problem. No wonder you are smiling.¡± Theodore was shocked and hurriedly tried to move away from Leo. ¡°I got you¡­Haha.¡± Leo¡¯sughter resounded in the Dark Domain as he used [Mighty Combustion ¨C Radius st]. ***** Robert_Trimble, thanks for the Inspiration Capsule ICE COLAS X 10 = ONE BONUS CHAPTER. Chapter 250 Single Strike to Kill a Supreme-ranked Hero [Mighty Combustion ¨C Radius st] Leo limited the st radius to 100 meters which was the minimum he could do, and held Theodore¡¯s body close to him so that Theodore could receive as much damage as possible. ¡°Huh? Let go.¡± Theodore frowned as he finally understood why Leo smiled and acted like he could not see in the Dark Domain despite being able to see. Hence, he tried to free himself from Leo¡¯s hand and move away from him. ¡®Boom¡¯ However, it was toote for Theodore to do anything as Leo had already released the fiery mes from his body which sted him into a huge tree that was more than two dozen meters in the distance. ¡®Did I kill him?¡¯ Leo was surprised when he saw Theodore st into the distance like a doll. ¡®No¡­he should not die. I still don¡¯t know why he had to give an order to kill my parents when they were trying their research on the Talent Awakening Serum,¡¯ Leo hurriedly rushed towards Theodore¡¯s body. Theodore¡¯s ck-coloured metallic armour was half broken; however, the dark energy started repairing itself and even healed Theodore¡¯s injuries, making Leo frown for a moment. ¡®Phew¡­he is still alive.¡¯ Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Theodore was still alive and even recovering from his injuries. So, there was nothing to worry about.. ¡®From his words, I thought he would have some insane defence; however, it is not as strong as it looks.¡¯ Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®Since he looks weak, I can start my interrogation now.¡¯ People like Theodore would not answer any questions when asked usually. That¡¯s why Leo decided to beat the sh*t out of him first before starting his interrogation. ¡®Cough¡¯ Just as Leo was nning to start his interrogation, Theodore coughed another mouthful of bad blood. ¡°Keke¡­brat, I thought I was already overestimating you; however, I didn¡¯t expect it was still an underestimation of your battle prowess.¡± Surprisingly, Theodore could speak normally and chuckle even after nearly experiencing death. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Suddenly, Leo felt something was not right and hurriedly turned around, only to receive a powerful punch from a five-meter tall Gori. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo instinctively blocked it; however, the shear force was enough to st Leo 100 meters. ¡°Gori, I will leave this brat to you. As long as my Dark Domain is activated, he could use his teleportation or other spatial skills properly.¡± The one who punched Leo was none other than the muscr man from earlier who flew away to inform their master about their failed expedition. However, he received the distress signal from Theodore, making him return. By now, the ck-coloured armour had already healed Theodore¡¯s injuries and disappeared; however, Theodore was still weak, and he could barely move his body. ¡°Leave him to me.¡± The muscr man¡¯s talent is a [Armoured Gori Transformation] and could transform into a Gori that had incredible raw strength and defence along with other skills. Moreover, with the help of Theodore¡¯s [Dark Domiain], there was no way Gori would lose against Leo, a rank 9 human hero¡­at least that¡¯s what Theodore thought in his head. [Elemental Healing] On the other hand, Leo¡¯s passive talent had triggered and started healing his internal injuries using the elemental energy around him. ¡°Brat, how dare you try to kill one of my master¡¯s servants? Do you want to die that badly?¡± Compared to Theodore, Gori was more arrogant because among his master¡¯s servants, he was the youngest one, and he had already be a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Moreover, because of his [Armoured Gori Transformation], he could use more than five powerful skills that made him stronger than the regr level 1 supreme-ranked heroes. So, naturally, he was arrogant and wanted to show off his skills in front of an old servant like Theodore. ¡°Today, I only wanted to kill that b*stard over there; however, you left me with no choice other than killing you.¡± Leo¡¯s internal injuries were not just minor. So, it only took less than a minute for him to heal those injuries with his normal talent [Elemal Healing]. Looking at the Gori in the distance, Leo had a cold look on his face as he replied with a face full of killing intent. Leo didn¡¯t want anyone to know that he killed Theodore. So, he could not let that Gori live at any cost. ¡®Once I take care of this Gori, I will interrogate that b*stard and kill him.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste his breath talking nonsense with the Gori as he had already decided to kill it. Level 9 [Roaring Battle Bull] temporarily increases all battle prowess of the user by 10 percent. Level 8 [Nether Domain] temporarily decreases all battle prowess of the selected targets around the user by 8 percent. [Supreme Killer], 10 percent additional damage to all the supreme-ranked beings. In no time, Leo activated a merged skill, a special talent and changed his title to [Supreme Killer]. ¡®It might not be enough to kill a supreme-ranked hero in a single attack.¡¯ Hearing the Gori¡¯s arrogant tone, Leo could tell he must have enough strength and skill. Moreover, he wanted to kill that Supreme-ranked Gori in a single attack so that it could not escape from here to tell the story of what happened in the Dark Domain. ¡®War God¡¯s Battle Axe¡¯ While running towards the Gori, Leo even summoned the quasi-supreme ranked weapon. ¡°Just because you have a quasi-supreme ranked weapon, you think you can kill me?¡± ¡®Roar¡¯ On the other hand, Gori hit its chest and roared at the iing Leo. ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡± Leo scoffed at the armoured Gori and silently thought, ¡®It will be even better if that Gori allows me to hit it.¡¯ A simple quasi-supreme-ranked weapon was definitely not enough to kill a supreme-ranked being. It was amon fact unless the supreme-ranked being was already injured. However, what Gori didn¡¯t know was that Leo had already boosted his strength and decreased his target¡¯s strength. Moreover, each of his attacks would deal additional ten percent damage to the target. Therefore, Leo thought it would be easy if the Armoured Gori continued to act arrogant. ¡°I can stop your attack with my bare hands.¡± Gori mmed its fists on the ground before standing in a fighting posture, and it was ready to block Leo¡¯s iing attack. ¡°Remember one thing in your next life, don¡¯t be an arrogant piece of shit.¡± [Weapon Skill ¨C Titan Strike] As soon as he finished his words, Leo activated the weapon skill, increasing his damage even further. ¡°For a rank 9 hero, you talk too¡­.¡± ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ Gori felt that Leo was mocking him and wanted to teach him a lesson to Leo; however, before he could finish his words, his huge hands that were trying to block the iing battle axe cleaved through his hands. ¡®Roar¡¯ The attack didn¡¯t stop there as Leo used the battle axe to strike the Gori¡¯s chest with the same momentum. The Gori didn¡¯t expect a rank 9 human hero to ignore his defence and leave such a huge injury on him. However, there was nothing he could do as he finally understood that Leo was not mocking him earlier; instead, it was just stating a fact. ¡®Thud¡¯ With a loud thud, Gori fell to the ground with an unbelievable look in his eyes while looking at Leo¡¯s cold face. ****** Tsoust_Nimagou, thanks for the ICE COLA x 3 ICE COLA X 10 = ONE BONUS CHAPTER. Chapter 251 [Inhumane Strength] ¡®Wait a second¡­.that battle axe.¡¯ From a distance, Theodore, who was watching Leo and Gori, was shocked to see the battle-axe in Leo¡¯s hands as he instantly recognised it. ¡®Isn¡¯t it the same battle axe that the Talent Swallowing Hero wielded it during the monster invasion?¡¯ How could he not recognize the battle that he nned to steal? Not only was it a quasi-supreme ranked weapon, but just from a look, one could tell how powerful it was to be able to help a rank 9 hero kill a level 1supreme-ranked hero. ¡®Why is he holding it¡­.[Teleportation]¡­.[Space Maniption]¡­..¡¯ Various thoughts shed in Theodore¡¯s head as he looked at Leo and the battle axe and finally concluded, ¡®So, he is the Talent Swallowing Hero that is wanted by all the city leaders and the leaders of the secret organizations.¡¯ ¡®I need to escape from here.¡¯ This was the only thought in Theodore¡¯s head as he tried to escape; however, he had already spent so much of his energy in maintaining the Dark Domain to stop Leo from running away. ¡®I wanted to stop him from escaping but it is now stopping me from escaping.¡¯ Theodore bitterly smiled as he stopped trying and looked at Leo with a bitter smile on his face. ¡®No¡­ I can¡¯t die here like this. I have to think of a way to survive.¡¯ Soon, Theodore started racking his brain to find a way to escape from Leo.. ¡­.. ¡®Puchi¡¯ On the other hand, Leo pulled the battle axe from Goria¡¯s chest, which soon transformed into his human form. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy] is still under cooldown and can¡¯t retrieve any talents from the target¡¯s body. As soon as he pulled the battle axe out, he received the system notifications regarding his kill. ¡®System, if I use the special effect of the Fragment of the God stone to reset the cooldown, will it affect me in unlocking the new system ability?¡¯ Leo was actually interested in one of the talents that Gori has. Since he had two Fragments of the God Stones, Leo thought of using their special effect to retrieve his talent. ¡®Ding, It will not affect the host in any way. ¡®Excellent¡¯ Even though he already guessed that it wouldn¡¯t affect him in buying the new system ability using the Fragments of the God Stones, he wanted to be sure before using it. Leo preferred to have a new system ability over new talent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Ability] is out of cooldown. The host can extract and swallow talent. Soon, his system ability was avable for him to use. ¡®Ding, Please select one talent to extract from the target. 1) Armoured Gori Transformation (Level 1, supreme grade). 2) Inhumane Strength (Level 7, mortal grade). Upon activating his ability, the system projected two talents before him and asked him to pick one. Even though Gori had two talents, only one of them reached supreme grade because he mostly used that talent as it gave him ess to a lot of skills. Nevertheless, the second talent was also at a reasonable level because Gori was only 25 years old and at that age, having a level 7 talent puts him into the category of geniuses. ¡®Extract [Inhuman Strength].¡¯ That¡¯s right! He chose a normal talent and gave up on the special talent like [Armoured Beast Transformation]. When Leo assessed the information about Gori, he had his eyes on that talent. Therefore, he didn¡¯t hesitate to select that talent. ¡®Ding, Extracting the talent [Inhuman Strength]. Please wait. ¡®Ding, Extractionpleted. Please swallow the extracted talent. Since it was a normal talent, it didn¡¯t take much time before the extraction finished. ¡®Time to swallow¡¯. Leo took the crystal floating in mid-air before him and swallowed it without hesitation. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Inhuman Strength]. Please check more information in [Hero¡¯s Interface]. ¡®Finally, I got the talent I am interested in.¡¯ Leo could not help but revealed a slight smile and silently thought, ¡®I didn¡¯t encounter someone with the same talent as Mikhael. I wonder how he would feel if they knew that now I have the talent that he was so proud of.¡¯ If a regr hero were offered [Armoured Gori Transformation] or [Inhuman Strength], they would not hesitate to take the first talent, which was a special one because it could give ess to many skills of the Armoured Gori. However, for Leo, it was not as interesting as the normal talent [Inhuman Strength] because he could not use his other talents after using a transformation talent. ¡®Moreover, I already have two special transformation talents. So, it is better to have a normal talent that could be used well with other talents.¡¯ As soon as he awakened the [Inhuman Strength], Leo felt his body be a lot stronger; however, it was not the actual effect of the talent. ¡®Since it is an active talent, I have to activate it to experience the tempeorory increase in my strength.¡¯ Leo nced at the effects of level 1 [Inhuman Strength], which could increase his overall strength by 10 percent. ¡®Ding, The host spent 1313000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the [Inhuman Strength] from level 1 to 7. ¡®Ding, Upon activation of the talent, the host¡¯s battle prowess will be increased by two times. ¡®Now, I can kill the supreme-ranked beings more easily.¡¯ Since Leo¡¯s physical strength was already much higher than the regr rank 9 heroes because of hisrge number of talents and skills, it would be even more powerful if it was multiplied by two. ¡°Now, it is time to take care of another b*stard.¡± After taking care of Gori, Leo turned his head to Theodore, who was also looking back at him with mixed emotions on his face. It was not hard to notice the emotions like fear, anxiety, helplessness, and horror on Theodore¡¯s face. With each step Leo took toward him, those emotions became easier for Leo to notice. ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for you to know why I want you dead.¡± **** Daoist1IwDdh, thanks for the ICE COLA. ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 252 [Bonus Chapter] Learning the Truth ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for you to know why I want you dead.¡± While taking care of Gori, Leo kept an eye on Theodore because his main target was Gori, to begin with. As for Gori, he just wanted to die badly by acting arrogant, and Leo gave him what he wanted before walking toward Theodore. ¡°Why? Did I kill someone close to you?¡± Theodore was thinking very hard about why Leo wanted to kill him. He thought about the people he and his subordinates killed throughout his journey; however, he could not guess whose rted Leo was. ¡®Even though most of the things were taken care of by Ambermane Family and the Cloudriver Family, I made sure they did a perfect job, and they never let anyone rted to my victims alive to avoid future troubles such as revenge.¡¯ Theodore stopped thinking about Leo¡¯s revenge and waited for Leo to tell him. ¡°It looks like you must have killed so many to get to your current position. No wonder you can¡¯t even guess for whom I am taking this revenge.¡± Leo had already expected the City Leader Theodore to be a ruthless person. So, he was not surprised anymore and decided to reveal it. ¡°Do you remember Spencer and Mariam?¡± Leo didn¡¯t take any extra measures to stop others from seeing them, thanks to the Dark Domain. So, without wasting time, Leo revealed his adoptive parents¡¯ names and asked Theodore. ¡°Who?¡±. How could Theodore remember the names of his victims from the past? He had killed hundreds, if not thousands of humans, and there was no way for Theodore to remember all the names of his victims. Nevertheless, he felt the two names were a little bit familiar. ¡®Scoffs¡¯ Seeing the look on Theodore¡¯s face, Leo wanted to kill him for not remembering his adoptive parents after killing them. ¡®Just wait. I will make you feel the real pain.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo held back as he needed Theodore alive to answer his questions. Hence, he gave out some more information hoping Theodore would realize. ¡°The scientists who invented ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯.¡± ¡°The scientists? ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯?¡± Finally, Theodore recognised them and asked, ¡°What about them? How are you rted to him?¡± Even though Theodore would kill everyone rted to his victims, he let the children of those two scientists alive for some reason that only he knew. Nevertheless, he had always kept an eye on them and even recruited their oldest child Ryan into his army. He was ready to kill them the moment they showed even the slightest signs of revenge for their parents. ¡®But where did this brate from? How is he rted to them?¡¯ However, what he didn¡¯t understand was Leo¡¯s connection to them ¡°So, you finally remembered them. Good.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to answer Theodore¡¯s question and asked, ¡°Why did you kill them? They are just trying to help humanity be stronger. Is there a reason to go as far as killing them?¡± ¡°Talent Awakening Serum? Don¡¯t make meugh!¡± Theodore could not help butugh when he heard Leo¡¯s words despite knowing that Leo would be killing him soon. ¡°Huh?¡± Leo frowned when he saw Theodore chuckle. ¡°Those so-called scientists invented a serum that could immune the consumer to all seals below the supreme ss. We named it Seal Resistance Serum.¡± ¡°It is not even that useful in the battle; however, those brain worms behaved like they invented the ¡®Talent Awakening Serum¡¯.¡± Theodore corrected Leo and exined it was the ¡®Seal Resistance Serum¡¯ that his adoptive parents invented, not the ¡®Talent Awakening Serum.¡¯ ¡°Then why did you kill them? Don¡¯t tell you got triggered by their excitement about inventing the ¡®Seal Resistance Serum¡¯?¡± Leo clenched his fists when he saw Theodore didn¡¯t even show remorse for what he did to his parents. ¡°I killed them because¡­.Master ordered me to do so.¡± While answering Leo¡¯s question, Theodore hesitated a little and answered before silently taking out another ck-coloured pill from his storage ring and was ready to consume it. ¡®sh¡¯ However, before he could toss it in his mouth, Leo was waiting for Theodore to do something funny, and the moment he sensed it, Leo shed off his hand with his [Fire Wyvern w]. ¡°Aargh¡­my hand¡­my hand.¡± Theodore cried in pain, looking at his hand on the ground. ¡°My bad¡­I forgot to tell you that I will cut one of your limbs if you try to do something funny.¡± With an emotionless look, Leo informed Theodore before asking, ¡°Stop screaming and answer my questions if you want to have a peaceful death.¡± ¡°Who is your master?¡± Until now, Leo thought it was Theodore¡¯s greed toward his parent¡¯s research that got them killed; however, judging from Theodore¡¯s words, Leo could tell he was not at all interested in their research work. Moreover, the other party had willingly agreed that his master was behind it, making Leo frown. ¡®Aargh¡¯ ¡°No¡­I can¡¯t tell you. If he finds out, he could summon my soul and torture it until I disintegrate into nothing.¡± ¡®Aargh¡¯ With a face full of tears, Theodore shook his head and replied while groaning in pain. ¡®Huh? Summoning the soul back from the dead?¡¯ Leo frowned when he heard Theodore¡¯s master had such a strong torturing talent. ¡°He might torture you when you are dead, but I can torture you while you are still alive.¡± Why would Leo give up interrogating Theodore just because of that? He decided to show the hell to Theodore while he was still alive. [Haunting of Ecstasy] The talent he swallowed from the assassin¡¯s squad leader had finally be useful for Leo. ¡®Thud¡¯ As soon as Leo used his talent on Theodore, he fell asleep and entered a dream. At first, he had an excellent dream where he was born into a powerful family and awakened a powerful talent, making him powerful in the entire world. Everything was going well, and he was enjoying his life as a popr young man surrounded by beauties until their rival family sessfully captured his family members with the help of the beautifuldies around him. Those beauties killed his family members right before his eyes in the cruellest way possible. ¡®Why are you doing this¡­I loved all of you and even promised to help you be the world¡¯s strongest heroes.¡¯ Theodore was both angry and sad that his beloved family was being killed by the beauties he loved. What¡¯s more, they killed them slowly and let him watch the entire process. ¡®You are a toad trying to swallow the swans¡¯ meat. Do you think we loved you? Have you ever seen your face in the mirror?¡¯ As soon as one of the beauties finished her words, a mirror appeared before Theodore out of nowhere and soon, and he saw that his handsome face turned ugly and his muscr physique became hunched. In no time, he became an ugly hunchbacked old man. That¡¯s not the end of it. The nightmare continued as the beauties tortured him in every possible way. ¡®Aagh¡­stop it¡­.please¡­.¡¯ In the real world, Theodore started crying in pain and begged someone to stop his misery. ¡°Just say the name of your master, and I will put you out of your misery.¡± Leo¡¯s words looked like heaven¡¯s voice to Theodore in the dream world. ¡°H..his name is Jayden, the ve Marker. He didn¡¯t want humans to be resistant to the ve seals. So, he ordered me to kill those scientists.¡± **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 253 Mission Completed ¡°Jayden? ve Marker?¡± Leo could not believe Theodore¡¯s words for a moment; however, he realized something when he connected all the dots. ¡®My parent invented the Seal Resistance Serum; however, if it were manufactured in bulk and avable in the market, it would make the ve Maker¡¯s talent to engrave the envement seals useless.¡¯ At first, Leo believed Theodore¡¯s master to be the ve Marker; however, when he checked for the envement seals on Theodore and other city leaders, he didn¡¯t find any seals on them. That¡¯s why he rejected his thought regarding ve Marker being the master of the city leaders. ¡®Who would have thought these b*stards would swear their allegiance to the ve Marker willingly.¡¯ Since these city leaders didn¡¯t have any envement seals on them, Leo could tell they willingly became the ve Marker¡¯s servants. ¡°Where can I find him?¡± Since the ve Marker was the true mastermind, Leo obviously wanted to kill him. ¡°I only know that he lives in a Hidden city. I don¡¯t even know its name; however, the city leaders who serve him call that city the ¡®City of ves¡¯ because that¡¯s where all the enved people were created and supplied to all the cities.¡± Theodore was still in the dream and mistaken Leo¡¯s voice for Heaven¡¯s voice and answered everything.. ¡°City of ves?¡± Leo frowned because he had never heard of such a city name in his years of venturing in the wilderness. ¡°Give me some more information on how to find the ¡®City of ves¡¯.¡± Leo asked Theodore for more information; however, the other party clearly didn¡¯t do anything more than what he had said already. ¡®Where should I find this ¡®City of ves¡¯?¡¯ He felt he had enough information about the human world and all the cities in it; however, he only realised that there were still many things that he was oblivious to. ¡°Ple¡­use stop torturing me.¡± As Leo was thinking about a way to ¡®City of ves¡¯, Theodore¡¯s torture in his dream upgraded to the next level. ¡°Give me something in finding a way to the ¡®City of ves¡¯. Then I will put you out of your misery.¡± Even if Theodore was not the mastermind behind the death of his parents, Leo didn¡¯t have any thought of sparing his life. So, he intentionally let Theodore experience the pain he had suffered for thest decade. ¡°H..how many times do I have to tell you that I don¡¯t know.¡± Gritting his teeth, Theodore shouted at Leo for asking him the same question repeatedly; however, he soon realized that he was not in the position to speak angrily. In the next second, he started begging the Heavens to put him out of his misery, ¡°I¡­I really¡­.don¡¯t¡­.know.¡± ¡°Think. You must know something.¡± Leo was not hoping for any new information from Theodore, and he just wanted to let Theodore for some more time before putting him out of his misery. ¡°Wait for a second¡­I don¡¯t know about the ¡®City of ves¡¯; however, I know someone who might know about it.¡± After a few moments of suffering and endless torments by the beauties in his head, Theodore seemed to remember something. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised and asked, ¡°Who is it? I can put you out of your misery.¡± ¡°T..he¡­city leader of¡­.Evesting City. He is the closest one to the¡­.¡± Before he could finish his words, Theodore could not endure the endless torment from the beauties anymore and stopped breathing. The mighty leader of Phirie city had died in the depths of the Solitary Forest without knowing who his killer was rted to the scientists he killed ten years back. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the mission ¡®Time for Revenge¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s rewards will be issued in a few minutes. Sorry for the dy. With the death of the City leader Theodore, a series of system notifications resounded in Leo¡¯s head. However, he was not excited or curious about the rewards; instead, he was thinking about Theodore¡¯sst words. ¡®Evesting city¡¯s leader? Kaiser?¡¯ Leo knew who the city leader of the Evesting city was and frowned, ¡®That arrogant old b*stard is also a servant under the ve Marker?¡¯ Leo had never expected the old man he had a feud with would also be a servant of the ve Marker. He felt it was hard to believe because the old man of the Evesting city was arrogant¡­more arrogant than Gori or anyone that Leo had seen in his life. ¡®However, he had the strength to back his arrogance.¡¯ Even though Leo was unable to assess Kaiser¡¯s strength because of low strength back then, he could easily guess it would be around level 3 supreme rank. ¡®But the thing is how that ve Marker was able to get the acknowledgement of these city leaders without engraving his envement seals?¡¯ Although Leo knew the ver Marker could turn a level 5 supreme-ranked hero into an enved person to follow him, he didn¡¯t expect the ve Marker to have such strength to get the acknowledgement of the mighty heroes like City leaders. ¡®If he could enve and get the acknowledgement from the supreme-ranked beings with a rank 9 hero strength, how powerful would he be if he became a supreme-ranked hero?¡¯ Just the thought made Leo¡¯s heart anxious, and he muttered, ¡®I have to be careful and kill him as soon as possible.¡¯ Since he found the true mastermind behind the death of his adoptive parents, Leo¡¯s target changed, and he wanted to kill him as soon as possible because he didn¡¯t want the ve Marker to be more powerful than he already was. ¡®I think I should soon pay a visit to the Evesting City and fulfil my promise to turn the Evesting City into Nevesting City.¡¯ Leo¡¯s only clue to finding the ¡®City of the ves¡¯ was through Kaiser, the leader of the Evesting City. Therefore, he decided to visit the Evesting City with his followers. ¡®Ding, The rewards have been issued, and a new system mission has been issued. Please check. **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 254 Becoming a Supreme Hero ¡®Ding, The rewards have been issued, and a new system mission has been issued. Please check. Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts with the system notifications. ¡®A new mission? So fast!¡¯ Leo was surprised that he received another mission so fast and decided to check it first before checking out the rewards from the previous mission. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Time for Revenge (Part 2). Objective: Kill the city leader of the Evesting City and find out more information about the ve Marker and the ¡®City of the ve¡¯. Additional Objective: This world is still a cruel ce where powerful heroes move in the shadows with their secret organizations. The host shouldplete the mission as secretly as possible, just like in part 1. Rewards: 1) A random grade 1 world ticket. 2) A fragment of the God Stone. 3) Supreme Innate Elemenental Fruit (The host can choose whichever element he wants). More Information: It is a mission series, and upon sessfulpletion of this mission, another mission will be insured depending on the information gathered by the host.. Soon, the mission details appeared before Leo, making him raise his brows. ¡®A mission series? Compared to the first part, this second part has good rewards.¡¯ A grade 1 world ticket was enough for Leo to get tempted as it would serve him a good farming world where he could umte enough [Promote Points]. At the same time, awaken some promising talents and skills by continuously devouring the corpses. As for the other two rewards, they were just extra, which he could use to increase his strength. ¡®I know I will visit the Evesting City sooner orter; however, I didn¡¯t expect it to be this soon.¡¯ Previously Leo didn¡¯t have enough strength to go against the old monster Kaiser; however, now, he could not only pay a visit, but he could even settle the old and new grievances with that city¡¯s leader. ¡®Also, I should keep increasing my strength and my followers¡¯ strength for the uing world assessment to protect ourselves.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo checked his rewards from the previous mission. ¡®Ding, The rewards from the mission ¡®Time for Revenge (Part 1)¡¯ are: 1) The inner demon in the host¡¯s heart is cleared as he now knows the exact reason and has a specific target for the death of his adoptive parents. 2) Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit. (Please select amon element). 3) Additional reward: The City Creation Token (Gold) has been sent to the host¡¯s storage ring. ¡®Ding, Since the hostpleted the mission without help from any of his followers, the host will be rewarded with another additional reward. ¡®Ding, The host can upgrade one of his quasi-supreme grade weapons to supreme rank. As soon as Leo thought about the rewards, the system sent a series of notifications. ¡®Another additional reward?¡¯ Leo was already expecting the rewards issued on the first holographic screen; however, the second additional reward was a pleasant surprise. ¡®Interesting! I can now kill the supreme-ranked beings without using any of my talents.¡¯ A supreme-ranked weapon would ignore the defenses of the supreme-ranked beings to arge extent, and by activating its weapon skill, even rank 7 heroes could kill the supreme-ranked beings as long as theyunch a sessful sneak attack. ¡®Ding, The system detected that the host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead] had met all the requirements to upgrade into a Supreme grade talent. ¡®Ding, Do you want to upgrade it? Since his inner demon cleared, Leo¡¯s path to bing a Supreme Hero was no longer hindered by anything. Therefore, the system informed him about his peak [Call of the Undead] talent. ¡®I will upgrade it but wait a moment.¡¯ Even though Leo was excited to be a supreme rank hero by upgrading his talent to the supreme grade, Leo had something else to do before that. ¡®Why should I waste a special talent like [Metal Maniption]?¡¯ Leo revealed a cold smile as he took out a Fragment of the God Stone and muttered, ¡®Reset the cooldown for my [Talent Swallowing Ability].¡¯ Since Leo had just used that ability, he fell into a cooldown for one month. Therefore, Leo had to use the special effect of the Fragment of the God Stone to reset the cooldown. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Ability] cooldown has been reset. The host can now use the ability to extract and swallow a talent. ¡®I will select [Metal Maniption].¡¯ As soon as the ability¡¯s cooldown reset, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time selecting Theodore¡¯s special talent. Just always, a special talent got extracted from Theodore¡¯s body into a crystal that Leo swallowed in a single gulp. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As for Theodore¡¯s body, after extracting the talent, it disappeared without a trace. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a special talent [Metal Maniption]. ¡®Now, it¡¯s time to be a supreme hero.¡¯ Since he already knew about the effect of the [Metal Maiption], Leo didn¡¯t waste any time checking the information on it. Instead, he focused on bing a supreme-ranked hero. ¡®I don¡¯t know how long it will take and how painful the process might be. It¡¯s better to have someone to guard me.¡¯ After the death of Theodore, the ck-coloured started moving away, and the area became bright again. Hence, he summoned his level 1 supreme-ranked metal-wed undead vulture to guard him while the system upgraded his talent to the supreme grade. ¡®Screech¡¯ As soon as the metal-wed undead vulture was summoned, it released a loud screech and stood in front of Leo to protect its summoner. ¡®System, upgrade my [Call of the Undead] to the supreme grade.¡¯ Once everything was taken care of, Leo asked the system to upgrade his talent. ¡®Ding, Upgrading the [Call of the Undead] to the supreme grade. Please wait. When he heard the system notification, Leo was ready to bear the iing pain; however, to his surprise, there was no pain whatsoever. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Call of the Undead] has sessfully upgraded to Supreme Grade. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a Supreme Hero. **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 255 [Bonus Chapter] Godly Talent ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a Supreme Hero. After five minutes of ordering the system to upgrade his [Call of the Undead] talent, Leo received the system notification informing him about his rank upgrade. As for the pain he was expecting, it was nowhere to be seen, making him heave a sigh of relief. ¡®Even though I can endure the pain, I am not the type to enjoy the pain.¡¯ Leo was happy that he didn¡¯t have to endure any pain to be a supreme hero. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with a supreme-grade body that decreases the damage received from the beings below supreme-ranked. ¡®Ding, Just like any other supreme-ranked being, as long as the host is not careless, no one below the supreme rank could kill the host. ¡®Supreme-grade body. Good.¡¯ Every being, when reached the supreme grade would unlock the ¡®Supreme-grade body¡¯. So, Leo was not surprised by the ability that made the low-level beings impossible to kill the supreme-ranked being. ¡®I was able to counter the supreme-grade bodies of the supreme-ranked beings with my wide range of talents and skill along with my titles.¡¯. Not only the defense but with the supreme-grade body, a supreme-ranked being¡¯s strength would also increase multiple times. In short, bing a Supreme-ranked hero for a human or any other being was like ascending from being mortal and bing a supreme being. ¡®Right now, I can easily kill level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beings without putting much effort, and as long as I give my all in a fight, I can kill level 5 and injure level 6 supreme-ranked beings.¡¯ Leo could tell he had be a lot stronger without even testing his battle prowess. If he used titles like [Spider Killer], [Bull Executioneer], and [Serpent yer], he could even kill level 6 and injure level 7 supreme-ranked beings because they provide him with 25 percent. ¡®I wonder what kind of changes happened in the [Call of the Undead].¡¯ After checking the changes in his strength, Leo checked the information on his first supreme-grade talent. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Call of the Undead. Talent level: Level 1 supreme grade. Effect: 1) The user can turn all beings he killed into undead beings. 2) The user can give sentience to one undead being under him that could increase its strength with time and fights. (0/1). Note: 1) The host can raise as many undead beings as possible; however, depending on the number and the strength of the undead beings, the failure rate also increases. 2) The sentience of the undead beings will be higher if they have the same or less strength than the host. ¡®What? I can give sentience to an undead being?¡¯ There were not many changes except for the appearance of a new effect entirely out of Leo¡¯s expectation. ¡®Giving sentience to an undead being and letting it think was something only ¡®Gods¡¯ could do.¡¯ Leo still could not believe that his undead beings could gain sentience and have the capability to think on their own. Most importantly, they could now increase their strength and not be limited by the strength they had before they died. ¡®Even though I can only give sentience to one undead being as of now, in the future, when the talent level upgrades, the number would also increase, right?¡¯ When Leo thought it, he hurriedly took out a level 1 supreme upgrade stone. ¡®Ding, The host has upgraded the talent to the supreme grade just now. Please use it a couple of times and upgrade it after some time. Before he could ask the system to upgrade his newly upgraded supreme talent, he received a system notification that made him put the supreme upgrade stone back in his storage ring. ¡®Since I can¡¯t upgrade the [Call of the Undead] to level 2 yet, let¡¯s use its new effect.¡¯ Leo was not worried that he could not use the supreme upgrade stone to upgrade his talent; instead, he decided to use the new effect. ¡®Goliath,e out.¡¯ With a thought, Leo summoned the Ancient Goliath King as he decided to give sentience to it. ¡®Even if there were no restrictions in giving the sentience to my undead beings, I will choose the Ancient Goliath King because it has something that the Metal-wed vulture didn¡¯t have.¡¯ Looking at the Gaint human before him, Leo thought back to the time when he fought that monster. He gave sentience to the Ancient Goliath King because he had a bloodline, whereas the Metal-wed vulture didn¡¯t. ¡®With the powerful bloodline, his potential will be limited, and he could be a powerful undead being in the future.¡¯ Since Ancient Goliath King was a peak rank 9 monster, Leo¡¯s chances of blessing sentience to it would also have a high sess ratepared to the metal-wed vulture. Therefore, he chose the Ancient Goliath King and blessed it with sentience. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he blessed the Ancient Goliath King with sentience, its body shone with a reddish-ck light for a moment before disappearing. After the disappearance of the reddish-ck light, there were minor changes in its physical appearance; however, the most important change was its eyes. Currently, its eyes no longer looked dull; instead, they were filled with intelligence, and it even revealed a slight smile that was creepy. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead being ¡®Ancient Goliath King¡¯ has gained the sentience. Its potential will be unlimited, and as long as it has enough fortuitous encounters and battles, it will naturally grow powerful. ¡°I will call you Goliath just like always; however, you might not remember me calling you that since you didn¡¯t have any sentience before.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile and spoke with the Ancient Goliath King. ¡°Goliath greets master. Thank you for blessing me with sentience.¡± The Ancient Goliath King walked toward Leo and bowed before saying, ¡°Today is the day I was born. So I don¡¯t know what master is talking about.¡± ¡°I understood.¡± Leo nodded his head in understanding and sent him back, ¡®The good thing is he still has his talents from before. With enough time and battles, he will be more powerful.¡¯ He was not worried much about the Ancient Goliath King¡¯s growth because there would be enough battles in the future followed by enough natural resources for him to increase his strength. ¡®Since I have taken care of my strength, it is time to use my other rewards.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t forget about his other rewards and decided to use them before returning to the city. ¡®Ding, Please select the element type for your supreme innate elemental fruit: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. Leo started thinking about the four elements from which he could pick the supreme innate elemental fruit while checking his [Hero¡¯s Interface]. ¡®I will select the Fire element. Give me a supreme innate fire elemental fruit.¡¯ After thinking for a while, Leo decided to go with the fire element before finding a suitable special talent he wanted to mutate. ¡®Even though it is not guaranteed to mutate, it should be more powerful after the mutation.¡¯ Leo received the fruit and stored it in the storage ring because it would take hours to digest the energy from the supreme innate elemental fruits. ¡®Let¡¯s upgrade the weapon to the¡­.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] is upgraded to the Supreme Grade. **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1.

Before Leo could use his reward to upgrade his quasi-supreme ranked weapon, he received a system notification, making him suddenly remember the [Seal Swallowing Abiltity]. In the Starlight Tribe, after swallowing thousands of envement seals, Leo¡¯s [Seal Swallowing Ability] started upgrading; however, it asked him to wait for 24 hours to finish the upgrade. After 24 hours, the ability¡¯s upgrade paused just when there was one minute toplete the upgrade. ¡®Ding, Since the host is not a supreme-ranked hero, the ability will be temporarily locked. This was the exnation given by the system for pausing the ability¡¯s upgrade just when it was only a second away frompletion. ¡®Finally, it is unlocked. I wonder what changed for the [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy].¡¯ Leo was surprised, put a hold on his weapon upgrade, and checked the changes in the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ¡®Ding, Ability Name: Seal Swallowing Ability. Grade: Level 1 Supreme Grade.. Effect: All seals below supreme grade within a one-kilometer radius of the host can be instantly swallowed by the host at once, or he could select the special seals he wants to devour. Additional effect: The host can swallow a level 1 supreme grade seal either by touch or from 100 meters without contact, only one at a time. Note: If it is by touch, the seal will be swallowed instantly, and if it is from a distance, it will take time depending on the strength or grade of the person or the item, respectively. ¡®It looks like all the small restrictions are removed once a talent or ability upgrades to the supreme grade.¡¯ Leo was satisfied with the changes in the [Seal Swallowing Ability] and concluded. ¡®Nevertheless, the main purpose of the talent or the ability didn¡¯t change; instead, it only became more convenient.¡¯ Previously, Leo had touched one after another to remove even level 5 envement seals from the Starlight Tribe¡¯s people. However, now, he just has to think about it, and instantly all the ves around him would be normal, and they won¡¯t even have time to self-destruct. ¡®This supreme grade is interesting. I need to upgrade my other talents, skills and abilities to the supreme grade soon.¡¯ After seeing the changes in the [Call of the Undead] and the [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo could not wait to upgrade his other talents, skills, and abilities to supreme grade. ¡®Anyway, it will take some time to upgrade them.¡¯ Soon, he stopped thinking about the talents because he knew sooner orter he would upgrade them all to the supreme grade. ¡­ ¡®Ding, Please choose one of the two quasi-supreme ranked weapons you want to upgrade to the supreme grade. After he stopped thinking about his talents and skills, Leo resumed his n to upgrade his weapon. ¡®I will choose War God¡¯s Battle Axe.¡¯ Without hesitation, Leo chose the Battle Axe over the Arcane Silver Sword. ¡®Since the Arcane Silver Sword can upgrade its grade by devouring the other weapons and artifacts, it is better to upgrade the War God¡¯s Battle Axe.¡¯ Like his talent swallowing ability, his sword also had the simr ability to be powerful by swallowing other weapons and artifacts. Therefore, Leo felt it was a waste of an opportunity to upgrade his sword rather than upgrading the battle-axe. ¡®Swiish¡¯ The huge battle axe in his hand freed itself and hovered in mid-air before starting shining and disappearing into thin air, making Leo surprised. However, he was not worried about it as he knew the system would give it back to him afterpleting the upgrade. ¡®Ding, The War God¡¯s Battle Axe will be upgraded into Supreme-Grade after one day. Please be patient. Unlike his strength upgrade to the Supreme Rank, the upgrade for the weapon required him to wait for 24 hours. ¡®There was nothing I could do other than waiting.¡¯ Leo checked his surroundings for a moment to see whether he was leaving anything behind, and after making sure everything was alright, he muttered, ¡®I think it is time to reunite with my family for real.¡¯ Since Theodore has been taken care of, Leo no longer needs to worry about hiding his identity from his family. With that thought in mind, Leo returned to Phirie city. ¡­ In the City of the ves, A middle-aged man could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position in the room with dim light. His body shone with a red-coloured light that was increasing slowly but steadily. ¡°Master, I have some bad news.¡± After mustering her courage, one of the servants entered the room and continued saying, ¡°City leader Theodore has been killed.¡± There was still no response from the middle-aged man; however, the young servant knew her master was listening. Hence, she continued, ¡°Before the City leader Theodoe¡¯s life stick, Sir Gori¡¯s life stick was broken.¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ Suddenly, steady red-coloured energy emitted from his middle-aged man¡¯s body became uneven for a moment before bing steady again. The middle-aged man was none other than Jayden, who was in the middle of bing a Supreme-ranked hero. If he was not in the middle of the process, no one knew what he would have done. ¡°Who dares to kill my Gori?¡± Without opening his eyes, Jayden asked the young servant. ¡°Th..this¡­the spirit mark that master has left on Sir Gori¡¯s body was obstructed by something. It was most probably the city leader¡¯s [Dark Domain]. So we can¡¯t confirm the killer¡¯s identity.¡± Even though the young servant was scared to deliver the news of Gori¡¯s death to her master, she had no other choice. However, she heaved a sigh of relief when she remembered her master was in the middle of the breakthrough. ¡°Bunch of idiots. What¡¯s the use of having so many of you? I should have just engraved the soul-supressing ve seals on you instead of growth enchancing ve seals.¡± Even though Jayden¡¯s words seemed calm, they contained incredible rage; however, he has to remain calm because of his current situation. ¡°Sorry, master for being useless,¡± The young servant bowed. ¡°Anyway, wait for a while and see who takes over the Phirie City. No matter who takes it, just kill him.¡± Jayden didn¡¯t think much as he casually gave a few orders to the young servant. ¡°I think either the Cloudriver family or the Icefeather family will take over the Phire city, master.¡± The young servant thought for a moment before replying, ¡°Both families worked for the city leader Theodore and they are indirectly your servants, master. Do you really want to kill them?¡± Even though the young servant had an envement seal on her, it didn¡¯t affect her emotions or ability to think. The seal on her body was a special type of envement seal called Growth enhancing envement seal that required a lot of energy and time for Jayden to engrave. So, he only chose a few who were worthy and engraved these Growth enhancing ve seals on them. ¡°Brat, are you sure they would take over the Phirie City? If my guess is right, those two families will disappear soon and someone else will take over the Phirie city.¡± Jayden¡¯s words made the young servant frown as she continued to listen, ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on the Phire city, mainly on those two families.¡± **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 257 Reunion ¡®Huh?¡¯ The young servant was surprised a bit before leaving the room quietly after getting her orders. As for Jayden, he went back to the breakthrough process as the red-coloured energy around him started bing more and more powerful at a slow and steady pace. ¡­.. In Phirie City, ¡°I want to tell you something.¡± Leo hesitated a little before looking at Ryan and Julia, saying, ¡°Little Rebel, it¡¯s me, you brother Toby.¡± Finally, Leo said the words he wanted to tell Ryan and nervously waited for what kind of response he would get in return. The mighty Talent Swallowing Hero who destroyed the evil families in every city and even got the nickname of Evil Family Exterminator was nervous in front of a young man and a woman in their early twenties. If word got spread about this, it would cause a huge shock in the entire world because just the name ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯ would make everyone shiver and have sleepless nights.. As for the name Little Rebel, it is the nickname that Toby used to call Ryan when they were little because Ryan always acts like a rebel in their home. Of course, it was within limits, and since he was small, Ryan¡¯s actions were a kind of entertainment in their house. ¡°You must have suffered a lot in the outside world.¡± Ryan walked forward and hugged his big brother, and said in a low voice, ¡°We are waiting for you to reveal your identity, big brother.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked by Ryan¡¯s words as he didn¡¯t expect Ryan to say those words. ¡°So, you know about me already?¡± Leo looked at his brother and Julia with mixed emotions and asked as he looked at the twins peeking from their room. ¡®It must be them.¡¯ Soon, Leo realized how Ryan and Julia knew about it and shook his head. ¡°I have my doubts from the beginning; however, aftering out of the [Treasure Land], I waspletely sure who you are, Brother Toby.¡± Julia¡¯s eyes had tears as she slowly walked toward Leo and replied. ¡®It looks like I was not careful in hiding my identity properly.¡¯ ?[0)??? Leo knew that if he kept helping them, they would sooner orter find his identity; however, he didn¡¯t expect his identity to be exposed so soon. As the Talent Swallowing Hero, Leo was an expert in disguises; however, his identity was exposed by a youngdy who was only a rank 7 healing hero. Nevertheless, Leo was not shocked and didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡°I am not the only one who suffered, you were also struggling for the whole time.¡± Leo looked at Ryan and shook his head with a smile and tears. Even though Leo suffered a lot during thest 10 years, Ryan did not have an easy time either. He had to look after his twin siblings, suffering from weak body conditions and became a ve to the City Leader Theodore and his children so that they would let him and his siblings live in the city. Basically, Ryan was an unofficial ve for the City Leader for the whole time, and Leo already knew about this. So, he was adamant about killing the city leader even more and didn¡¯t show any mercy while killing him. ¡°Brother, since you revealed your identity, it means you finished whatever that was stopping you from revealing your identity, right?¡± After talking for a while, Ryan asked Leo. ¡°Right! The city leader is dead and you don¡¯t have to fear him anymore.¡± Soon, Leo briefly exined a few things that shocked both Ryan and Julia. ¡°What? You are friends with the Talent Swallowing Hero?¡± ¡°He helped you in killing the City Leader Theodore?¡± Ryan and Julia asked with shocked looks on their faces as they couldn¡¯t believe what they had just heard. ¡°Not friends. It¡¯s just I got to know and he already has some vengeance against the city leader Theodore.¡± Leo didn¡¯t say he was the Talent Swallowing Hero or his past as he didn¡¯t want his siblings to know all the things he had done in the past that he was not proud of. ¡°Brother, I want to meet the Talent Swallowing Hero and thank him properly for taking revenge for killing our parents.¡± Ryan¡¯s shocked expression disappeared and was reced with a grateful expression towards the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°I will let him know when I meet him.¡± Leo nodded with a slight smile and silently thought, ¡®They should think that the revenge isplete. At least they could live peacefully.¡¯ ¡®Those who seek revenge should dig two graves. One for the target and the other himself. I have already dug my grave long back and could not back off from it.¡¯ Before he got adopted by Ryan¡¯s parents, there was not a single day where he had lived without getting beaten up, and no one spoke kind words to him until he met Ryan¡¯s parents. Not only was he given nice food, clothes, and a good home, he became the big brother of the house. ¡®Even when I didn¡¯t awaken my talent in the ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯, everyone looked down on me and asked my adoptive parents to disown me. However, my parents not only didn¡¯t disown me but said I was a special one who was born to do great things in the future.¡¯ Remembering the short but sweet seven years he spent with his parents, Leo¡¯s heart could not help but ache. That¡¯s why the inner demon formed in his heart to kill the one who killed them. Even though it was cleared after killing the city leader, Leo wanted to kill the main mastermind; only then could he live peacefully. ¡®Moreover, it is better for them to not know about the ve Maker and my ns for that b*stard; otherwise, with Ryan¡¯s behavior, he would definitely want to join me in taking revenge which was risky for them.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want to put them in risky situations. So, he hid almost everything except that he was their brother. **** ICE COLA x 10 = BONUS CHAPTER X 1. Chapter 258 [Bonus chapter] Engaged? ¡°Even if he doesn¡¯t agree to meet me, try your best in persuading him.¡± Ryan was serious about meeting the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°Sure¡­sure.¡± Leo nodded and thought, ¡®It looks like I have to wear the mask and meet this litlte Rebel.¡¯ He knows how adamant Ryan could be when he sets his focus on something. So, he decided to meet him once in his ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯ form and appease him. ¡°I know Brother Toby will do everything I ask.¡± Ryan became excited and suddenly thought about something and asked, ¡°What should I call you, brother? Brother Toby or Brother Leo?¡± ¡°The name ¡®Leo¡¯ was given to me by our parents. So, I am nning to use this name till the end.¡± Leo didn¡¯t have to think much about it as he said with a slight smile why he chose to use the name ¡®Leo¡¯. ¡°Okay, Brother Leo.¡± Both Ryan and Julia nodded and asked him, ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t you tell us about your past? We know nothing but we know you must have suffered a lot.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the past.¡±. However, Leo didn¡¯t want them to know about his past. So, he diverted the topic and asked Julia, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call her inside. I have something to ask her.¡± Pointing at the member of the squad Julia recently joined, Leo asked, and soon, that squad member walked in. ¡°You want to talk to her?¡± ?[0)??? Since Julia had a threat from the city leader and the other forces in Phirie city, the captain of the Graceful Swans mercenary squad assigned a rank 9 hero to protect her. Julia was surprised as she didn¡¯t understand why Leo wanted to talk to her; however, she called her bodyguard inside. ¡°I want to meet your captain. Can you ask her toe here?¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste time looking at the masked woman as he directly asked her. ¡®¡­¡¯ Ryan and Julia were surprised, whereas the masked woman raised her brows when she heard Leo¡¯s words and tried to say something. ¡°Captain is busy¡­.¡± ¡°Tell her Ashley¡¯s fiance wants a meeting with her. She wille here no matter how busy she is.¡± Before the squad member finished her words, Leo interrupted her and said her captain woulde here despite being busy. ¡®Huh?¡¯ The masked woman frowned; however, she looked at Julia for a moment and thought about her captain¡¯s orders, ¡®You must treat her with respect just like how you treat me. Do you understand?¡¯ At that time, the masked woman didn¡¯t know why her captain cared so much about a rank 7 healing hero. However, she felt that Leo¡¯s words just now made her guess it was something to do with this Ashely¡¯s fiance. ¡®Who is this Ashley? Why would my captain rush here if she mentioned those words?¡¯ Even though she didn¡¯t know who Ashley was, she wanted to contact her captain. Soon, she came out of Ryan¡¯s house and contacted her captain using a phone. ¡®Fiance?¡¯ On the other hand, Ryan and Julia looked at their brother with surprise and hurriedly asked Leo with curious looks, ¡°Brother, who is Ashley? Is he our Sister-inw?¡± ¡°You could say that.¡± Leo replied with a slight smile; however, he didn¡¯t say anything more and acted all-mysterious. ¡°Leave about me. Are you two getting married?¡± Leo once again diverted the topic about him to them and asked about their marriage. ¡°Since Brother Leo is here, we are ready to get married anytime.¡± Unlike Leo, Ryan didn¡¯t dodge the question as he directly replied and asked Julia, ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I-I¡­.¡± However, Julia didn¡¯t answer Ryan; instead, she looked at Leo and hesitated for a moment before asking with a sad but hopeful tone, ¡°Brother Leo, do you know the whereabouts of my brother? He went missing around the same time as you.¡± ¡°Of course, I know his whereabouts.¡± When he thought about revealing his identity, Leo knew Julia would ask about his best friend Joel, who suffered just because he was with him at that time. So, he had already thought of an answer to her question. ¡°What? Really? Where is he now?¡± Julia became agitated and hurriedly asked Leo with an excited look on her face covered with tears. ¡°He is working for the Talent Swallowing Hero just like me and currently, he is away on a mission.¡± Leo replied, ¡°If everything goes well, he will be back in a month or two. So, don¡¯t worry and focus on bing a rank 9 hero before hees back. It will be a pleasant surprise for him.¡± ¡°Two months?¡± Julia was already happy to know that her brother was alive and she would meet him in a month, which doubled her happiness. ¡°I will give him a pleasant surprise when hees back to my strength.¡± Julia was a simple girl who wanted to surprise her brother with her level 9 talent when he returned. Therefore, Julia is determined to increase her talent even more after learning about her brother. She had waited for around 10 years and felt waiting another two months was okay. ¡°Why don¡¯t we get married after my brother returns?¡± Soon, Julia turned to Ryan and answered his question from before. ¡°Sure.¡± Ryan nodded as he was fine with whatever Julia said. ¡®I got myself two months of time. I need to find him in these two months.¡¯ Even though Leo had a smile on his face, he was clenching his fists in anger, ¡®Even though I killed that b*stard, it is still not enough to soothe my anger. The only way to calm mysel is by killing that b*stard¡¯s grandfather. I need to pay a visit to the Evesting city after taking care of the things with the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The system is issued a new mission. Please check it. ¡®Huh? A new mission?¡¯ Leo raised his eyebrows and thought to check it; however, before he could check, the captain of the ¡®Graceful Swans¡¯ mercenary squad entered Ryan¡¯s house. ¡°Sir Leo, we met again.¡± With a beautiful smile on her face, Valerie greeted Leo with a respectful bow. **** The author needs some motivation to release more [Bonus Chapters]. Chapter 259 Holy Angel ¡°It¡¯s been a while, Captain Valerie.¡± Leo replied with a cold look. It was his habit to have a cold and nonchnt look when meeting others who were not his family and friends. ¡°You can sit.¡± Seeing that Valerie was still standing, Leo asked her to sit. ¡°Sir Leo, thank you for helping us get one more healing angel to our organizations.¡± Valerie sat on a chair and thanked Leo. ¡°I have to thank Captain Valeri for saving my sister by offering a ce for her when surrounded by the other families.¡± Leo shook his head and thanked her as he continued, ¡°Moreover, you have to reveal the name of your organization before everyone. I am sorry for that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Sir Leo. We are anyway about to reveal our identity in Phirie City to nurture the future healers in the city,¡± Valerie replied. Without wasting time, she asked, ¡°Is there anything I can do for Sir Leo?¡± ¡°Since you are a captain, you canmunicate with your leader, right?¡± Leo was not the type to beat around the bush as he directly asked her whether she had the power tomunicate to contact her leader. ¡°Yes. As long as it is important and urgent, I canmunicate with her.¡±. ¡°Good. There is something I needed to talk about with your leader. Can you connect a video call to her?¡± Leo nodded and asked her. ¡°Sure; however, the equipment tomunicate with the headquarters and the leader was in our squad building. If you don¡¯t mind, I can take you there.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± They only exchanged a few lines and soon left Ryan¡¯s house. On the way to the Graceful Swans squad building, ¡®What?¡¯ ¡®Why did she bow to him?¡¯ ?[0)??? The masked woman from before was shocked to see her mighty captain bow to a young man. ¡®Who is he exactly? And who is Ashely that even made my ruthless captain so respectful?¡¯ ¡®More importantly, how can he get ess to talk to the leader of the ¡®Order of the healing angels¡¯ so easily?¡¯ The leader of her secret organization was more powerful than the city leaders, and in fact, she could be considered one of the core pirs of their humanity in case of worldly threats. Therefore, she was shocked to see how a rank 7 hero not only met her captain but could also talk with the mighty leader of the organization so easily. ¡®Vice, do you know who he is?¡¯ Her head was filled with question marks, and she asked the vice-captain Freya, standing beside her. ¡®Haha¡­you are just like me back when I first met Sir Leo.¡¯ Freyughed a little and answered, ¡®You know about the Holy Angel of our organization, right?¡¯ ¡®Yes.¡¯ The masked woman nodded and replied in a low voice, ¡®Who doesn¡¯t know the Holy Angel in the organization? With a simple touch, she can heal all the injuries and there were even rumours that she could bring the dead back to life if she uses her talent as long as a minute doesn¡¯t pass after their death.¡¯ ¡®The Holy Angel¡¯s name is Ashely and he is her finance.¡¯ Frey continued with a slight smile, ¡®It¡¯s not a rumour that she revived someone and the person she brought back to life was none other than Sir Leo. It was the first and thest time the Holy Angel used her special talent to bring back to life.¡¯ ¡®What? Holy Angel¡¯s name is Ashley? I didn¡¯t know until now.¡¯ The masked woman was shocked and asked, ¡®Then how did she end up getting engaged with a rank 7 hero? Isn¡¯t it like a toad swallowing a swan?¡¯ Leo chose his hero strength as rank 7 for others to appear as he didn¡¯t want everyone even to think he was the Talent Swallowing Hero. Hence, the masked woman thought Leo was not a good match for their Holy Angel, who was about to be a supreme-ranked hero. ¡®It¡¯s because he was the one who saved her from bing a ve and it was because of her, he died.¡¯ Frey had done her research after meeting Leo for the first time as she had the same questions in her head, just like the masked woman. ¡®What? Holy angel was about to be a ve? Why do I feel like I am living under a rock until now?¡¯ The masked woman felt she knew enough about her organization; however, she only realized there was so much she didn¡¯t know. ¡®Don¡¯t worry. I didn¡¯t even know about it until a year back. So, there is no need to feel like that because you will learn more about the organization as your contribution to the organization increases.¡¯ ¡®Oh¡¯ After hearing Freya¡¯s words, the masked woman felt a little better and looked at Leo in apletely different light. ¡­. Soon, Leo and Valerie reached their squad¡¯s residence building and entered themunication room. Except for Freya, Julia and others didn¡¯t enter themunication room. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, a huge projection of a woman in her fifties appeared before them, and as soon as it appeared, the woman asked, ¡°Valerie, is there anything¡­.¡± ¡°Little Leo, you finally called your mother-inw. Ashley was worried about you.¡± Amidst her words, she saw Leo and hurriedly changed her words before speaking to Leo. ¡°Please say sorry to her on my behalf. As you already know, I have to¡­.¡± ¡°I know. She was just worried that something might happen to you in the process.¡± The old woman didn¡¯t let Leo finish his words and nodded. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me speak with her for a moment.¡± With a slight smile, Leo asked, hoping to speak with his fiancee, who was willing to die for him. Even though Leo felt bad for leaving her alone, he had to do what he had started, and it would be dangerous for her to travel with him. So, her mother didn¡¯t allow her to travel with Leo, and Leo voted for it. ¡°You should have called just a day earlier. She is in the process of bing a supreme-ranked Holy Angel.¡± However, Leo ran out of luck as he could not talk to his fiancee. ¡°It looks like I have run of luck.¡± Leo shook his head and replied, ¡°For now, let¡¯s talk about the main reason I contacted you.¡± Soon, Leo became serious as he decided to talk about the n he had devised before revealing his identity to Ryan and Julia. ¡°Valerie, can you leave the room for a moment?¡± Seeing that serious look on Leo¡¯s face, Leader Maisy asked Captain Valerie to leave. ¡°Yes, leader.¡± Valerie bowed to the projection and was about to leave when Leo stopped her. ¡°I need her to hear it as she will be ying a huge role.¡± Leo informed the Leader Maisy and made her stay in the room. ¡°Okay.¡± Leader Maisy nodded and said to Valerie, ¡°You heard him.¡± ¡°The city leader Theodore is dead. He was killed by the Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± Soon, Leo informed the leader Maisy about the death of city leader Theodore, surprising Captain Valerie. ¡°So, you¡­no, the Talent Swallowing Hero wants us to take over the Phirie city. Am I correct?¡± On the other hand, Leader Maisy intently looked at Leo before asking him. ***** The next Bonus Chapter is at 200 Golden Tickets (183/200). So, don¡¯t forget to send Golden Tickets. Chapter 260 Secret Collaboration ¡°Yes¡± Leo nodded and continued, ¡°At the same time, he said he would be creating a city and wants the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ to form an alliance with him.¡± ¡°Creating a city?¡± Leader Maisy was shocked and asked, ¡°Did you¡­he found a City Creation Token?¡± ¡°Yes. He asked me to ry this information to you.¡± Leo nodded as he said, ¡°I heard each secret organization has at least one city under their care except for the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯. ¡°I think it is a perfect opportunity to make your appearance and let the other secret organizations know that you can not only provide healing from the sidelines but you can also take the frontlines.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, Leader Maisy remained silent for a few seconds and said, ¡°As you know, even if we take over the Phirie City we can¡¯t openly form an alliance with the Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± Leader Maisy didn¡¯t have a problem taking over the Phirie City as she nned to do it sooner orter.. However, it is too risky for her organization to openly announce an alliance with a city created by the Talent Swallowing Hero. Currently, the Talent Swallowing Hero is wanted by many city leaders, and even the leaders of secret organizations are interested in him. When the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ forms an alliance with him, the enemies of the Talent Swallowing Hero would be their enemies, which Leader Maisy was unwilling to do. ¡°I know. The Talent Swallowing Hero has already thought about it and that¡¯s why he already selected a good candidate for the city leader.¡± Who would dare to ally with the Talent Swallowing Hero when he had a world full of enemies? No matter how close he was to the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ and the Leader Maisy, she had to make a decision that wouldn¡¯t put hundreds of her subordinates at risk. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the Talent Swallowing Hero is making you the city leader?¡± Leader Maisy chuckled and asked Leo with a knowing look on her face. When she thought about the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s intelligence, Leader Maisy knew he wouldn¡¯t ask for such a huge favour from her. ¡°Leader Maisy, you already know that I have other things to take care of, right?¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for an answer and said, ¡°So, send one of your supreme-ranked heroes as soon as possible toplete the takeover.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Leader Maisy nodded and wanted to ask Leo something; however, because of Valerie, she didn¡¯t ask. ¡®I think this brat didn¡¯t want to talk about ¡®It¡¯, that¡¯s why he intentionally made her stay.¡¯ ?[0)??? She silently thought, ¡®Even after killing the City Leader Theodore, what is stopping him froming back?¡¯ ¡®¡­¡¯ On the other hand, Captain Valerie was utterly shocked from the beginning to the end. The first thing that shocked her was that Leo was working for the Talent Swallowing Hero and the second thing was that the Talent Swallowing Hero was nning to create a City. Of course, she knew it was not an ordinary city that anyone with enough money could construct; instead, it was a city that was created using a City Creation Token. ¡®A city creation token was a legendary item that was only seen in the records left by the ¡®Otherworldly beings¡¯ and yet the Talent Swallowing Hero got his hands on it.¡¯ Valerie silently thought and continued, ¡®What¡¯s more shocking is from their conversation I can tell that the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯ and my organization were close.¡¯ ¡®It looks like Sir Leo also has gained the trust of the Talent Swallowing Hero. As long as the Talent Swallowing Hero bes a supreme hero, it would beparable to the leaders of the secret organizations. In short, Sir Leo is bound to be a powerhouse in the future.¡¯ With a rank 9 hero strength, the Talent Swallowing Hero was capable of killing the Supreme ranked beings and what if he became a supreme hero? Undoubtedly, he would be a force that even the leaders of the secret organizations have to be wary of. ¡°Hana, use the teleportation circle to enter the closest well-estabiilshed branch of our organization and then rush to the Phirie city at your fastest speed.¡± Leader Maisy gave an order to someone beside her before asking Leo about the ck Suits. ¡°By the way, I heard, those ck Suits already have a branch in the Phirie city? There is even a supreme-ranked captain in charge of it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the ck Suits. The Talent Swallowing Hero said he will take care of it.¡± Without the city leader Theodore, the Phirie city is a thick piece of meat waiting for the consumer, and everyone wants to take it. However, only the powerful one could have the pleasure of taking it and currently, the most powerful one in the Phirie city was Mr. White Chandler, a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Therefore, Leo assured Leader Maisy that she didn¡¯t have to worry about him. ¡°After the Talent Swallowing Hero takes care of the ck Suits in the city, he will give Valerie a singal. After that, she has to take over the city and defend until your supreme-ranked hero arrives.¡± Leo finally said what Captain Valerie had to do, and Leader Maisy agreed. ¡°You can do that, right?¡± Leader Maisy asked Valerie. ¡°I can do that, Leader Maisy.¡± Valerie had not received any missions personally from the Leader of the organization, and she was pretty excited about it. ¡®I have to not disappoint her and ty my best in holding out till the Gereral Hana arrives here.¡¯ ¡°There was another thing the Talent Swallowing Hero asked me to warn you that there would be greater threat for our world in five to six months. Use all the avable resources to strengthen your forces and start recruiting more attacking-type heroes along with healers.¡± Leo indirectly informed Leader Maisy about the world assessment so that she could prepare herself and the organization for the uing assessment. ¡°Huh?¡± Leader Maisy could sense the seriousness in Leo¡¯s eyes and nod in understanding. ¡°I send a singal for the Talent Swallowing Hero to start the n. I will contact you after everything is settled.¡± Soon, Leo left the squad building with Ryan and Julia and left them in their house. ¡®It¡¯s finally time to execute my n.¡¯ ****** The next Bonus Chapter is at 230 Golden Tickets (199 / 230).

Chapter 261 [Bonus chapter] Systems Unique Ability ¡®It¡¯s finally time to execute my n.¡¯ Leo revealed a cold smile as he looked at one of the tall buildings in the city. That building belongs to none other than Mr. White, the branch leader of the ck Suits. ¡®As long as I take care of Mr. White, the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ won¡¯t have any problem taking over the city.¡¯ Currently, no one knows about the death of the City Leader Theodore, and Mr. White has the highest possibility of finding out about it. Since the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ had not yet established themselves in the Phirie City, he decided to take care of him first. Soon, he started moving towards Mr White¡¯s building. With Leo¡¯s current strength and powerful followers, it was a piece of cake for him to take over Phirie City. However, if he makes his appearance, the ve Marker would definitely be suspicious, and he could not use his identity as the ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯ to be the city leader as it would make him the target of all the other city leaders and the leaders of the secret organizations. ¡®I thought of making Arlo talking over the Phirie city; however, the ve Marker would assume that Arlo killed the city leader. Moreoever, I have other ns for Arlo.¡¯ Leo silently thought about why he should not take over Phirie city. Since the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ was a secret organization and had a goodwork in the world, the ve Marker would not act rashly¡­at least that¡¯s what Leo thought. More importantly, it was the only organization he knew and was close with. So, it was better for him to give the Phirie city to his mother-inw rather than letting it take someone else. ¡®Anyway, I received a new system mission earlier. I wonder what it is about.¡¯. ?[0)??? While walking toward Mr. White¡¯s residence, Leo silently checked the new mission issued by the system. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Eliminate the ck Suits. Objective: There is a well-established branch of a secret organization in Phirie City. Mission Reward: 1) Information on your friend Joel. 2) Brief information on the secret Organization. 3) 25 Million Hero Coins. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked at the first reward and stopped in his tracks because he didn¡¯t expect the system to know about Joel¡¯s information. ¡®System, do you really have the information on Joel?¡¯ He didn¡¯t bother about the other rewards as he hurriedly asked the system. ¡®Ding, The system analyzed that Mr. White would know about it. Uponpleting the mission, the system can look in his memories and collect the information. ¡®What? You can look into the memories of the dead?¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he asked the system because he didn¡¯t know that the system had such an ability. ¡®Ding, The system can only see through the memories of the dead that the host killed, and it can only be used once in a while, just like the host¡¯s [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy]. ¡®Ding, However, I can¡¯t give out all the information, and a few bits of useful information will be given to the host in the form of rewards. ¡®Oh.¡¯ Leo nodded and replied, ¡®So, as long as I kill Mr. White, you will reward me with useful information. Got it.¡¯ He had been searching for his friend Joel, and after getting confirmation from the system, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he rushed toward Mr. White. ¡­ Inside Mr. White¡¯s residence, ¡°Master, Leo requests a meeting with you.¡± A servant informed the old man about Leo¡¯s request, making him frown slightly. ¡°Let hime in.¡± Mr. White thought about it for a moment and decided to meet Leo. ¡°By the way, the city leader still didn¡¯te back from his expedition?¡± At the same time, he asked the servant about the city leader. ¡°No, master.¡± ¡°Okay. Go and send that brat inside.¡± Mr. White nodded and sent the servant away while thinking, ¡®What was he thinking? Why did he change the ns to go on the expedition alone all of a sudden?¡¯ Initially, the city leader informed everyone that those above rank 7 should prepare to go on an expedition to the other side of the portal. However, the city leader suddenly said he would be going alone and checked the dangers on the other side before taking others with him. Even though Mr. White was suspicious that something was not right, he didn¡¯t say anything and hoped, ¡®I hope he dies in the other world and I can easily take over this Phirie city without any problems.¡¯ ¡°Mr. White, sorry foring here without any prior appointment.¡± Soon, Leo entered Mr. White¡¯s office. ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any time ande to the point directly.¡± Mr. White asked Leo toe straight to the point. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo wants nothing more than toe straight to the point. Hence he didn¡¯t beat around the bush and said. ¡°I will move out of Phirie City soon and settle in Starlight City for a few years.¡± ¡°You came here to say that?¡± Mr. White frowned. ¡°Of course not.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile and shook his head before saying, ¡°I know I can assess the Supreme Markets in each city that were managed by your organization; however, I don¡¯t know how.¡± ¡°So, I was wondering whether you could help me in how to enter the Supreme Market in Starlight City or any other city?¡± Leo started the purpose of his visit, making Mr. White nod. ¡°Last time I was excited to get my hands on the fragment of the God Stone so I must have forgotten to inform about it.¡± Mr. White remembered that he forgot to tell Leo how to ess the Supreme Markets in the other city and started exining. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about finding it. The moment you enter any new city, you will be approached by one of my Organization¡¯s members who will guide you to the Supreme Market if you want.¡± ¡°Oh. So simple.¡± Leo nodded and said, ¡°Thanks for the help. I still have 20 million left from the credit you have given me earlier. I will go and spend them.¡± Since Leo was nning to close Mr. White¡¯s chapter tonight, he thought there was no need to waste the funds and use the 20 million hero coins credit. Previously, Leo received 30 million hero coins credit from Mr. White in exchange for the fragment of the God Stone, and he only spent 10 million in the Supreme Market to buy the ves, leaving him with 20 million. Therefore, he decided to spend them before killing Mr. White. ¡®Later, even if the organization behind him investigates his death, no one would suspect me.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo entered the Supreme Market and bought another 100 normal ves and 10 special ves, spending a total of 15 million credit from his 20 million. ¡®Let¡¯s just leave this 5 million credit.¡¯ He didn¡¯t bother to spend them; instead, he gave one million extra to deliver the ves as soon as possible, just like thest time. Next day morning, Like before, the ves were delivered the next morning, and Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he prepared a perfect alibi for himself before wearing the mask. ¡®It¡¯s time for a Massacre.¡¯ ****** The next Bonus Chapter is at 230 Golden Tickets (201 / 230). Come on¡­you can do it. Chapter 262 Additional Effect for [Talent Promoter] In Mr. White¡¯s residence, ¡°What have I ever done to you?¡± Mr. White was looking at the Talent Swallowing Hero in front of him and asked with an anxious look. ¡°What have you done? Hmm..let me think¡­because I didn¡¯t like you.¡± ¡®sh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Leo shed off the old man¡¯s throat without wasting any time. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained a [Supreme Promote Point]. ¡®Ding, The host has enough [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade his talent [Call of the Undead] using the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, Please unlock an additional effect for the [Talent Promoter] using the [Supreme Promote Points].. ¡®Ding, The hostpleted the mission ¡®Eliminate the ck Suits¡¯. Please wait for some time to get the rewards. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head that pleasantly surprised him. ¡®What? I can upgrade my Supreme-grade talents using the [Talent Promoter]?¡¯ Even though Leo knew he could upgrade his supreme-grade talents using the [Supreme Promote Points], he didn¡¯t expect to upgrade them with his level 7 [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, ?[0)??? The host can spend 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] to unlock an additional effect for the [Talent Promoter] that can upgrade the supreme grade talents. ¡®Excellent.¡¯ Leo has more than 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] that he gained from killing the supreme grade beings in the Beas. Therefore, he didn¡¯t hesitate and unlocked the additional effect for the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®If I wait for the [Talent Promoter] to be a supreme-grade talent, it would take ages. So, it is better to have the effect of upgrading the supreme-grade talents.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s head as he spent 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade a special effect for the [Talent Promoter]. ¡®Ding, 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] has been consumed, and a new effect for the [Talent Promoter] has been unlocked. ¡®Ding, Additional Effect: The user can see the upgrade requirements and upgrade a supreme-grade talent. Note: Once a supreme grade talent is added to the list, the user has toplete all the upgrade requirements for that talent. ¡®Ding, Since there is only one supreme-grade talent, the [Call of the Undead] will be added to the additional effect of the [Talent Promoter] by default. ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements for [Call of the Undead] to level 2 supreme-grade: 1) 1000 [Supreme Promote Points], (5999 / 1000). 2) Use the talent 100 times, (1 / 100). Once again, a series of system notifications appeared in Leo¡¯s head, and looking at the upgrade requirements, Leo nodded in understanding. ¡®Using the talent 100 times is not a problem for me.¡¯ Leo was already expecting there would be such requirements. So, he was not surprised or shocked. ¡®Ding, The mission ¡®Eliminate the ck Suits¡¯ rewards have been issued. ¡®Ding, The 25 million hero coins are sent to the host¡¯s storage ring, and the information about Joel and the secret organization will be sent to the host¡¯s head when he is ready. ¡®I am ready. Just send them.¡¯ For him, knowing about Joel¡¯s whereabouts was the most important thing than anything else. So, when he heard the system notifications, Leo stopped thinking about the [Talent Promoter] as he directly asked the system to send the information. ¡®Ding, Transferring the information about Joel and the secret organization behind Mr. White. Please bear the pain if there is any. Following a system notification, there was a sharp pain in his head; however, Leo gritted his teeth and endured the pain. ¡®I have to endure it no matter how painfil it is.¡¯ After a couple of minutes, Leo¡¯s head was filled with information about Joel and the secret organization. ¡®Huh? He also became a ve even though he was an awakened one.¡¯ Leo focused on the information rting to Joel, and he was surprised that Joel had remained as a ve. When they were 10, unlike Leo, Joel had awakened a talent. Even though it was not a special talent, it was a good attacking-type talent. So, they were separated at first. ¡®Even though we used to meet from time to time, hepletely hid the envement seal. And, since I didn¡¯t have the system at that time, there was no way for me to figure out he was an enved one.¡¯ Leo thought Joel was having a slightly better life than him because he was an awakened one, unlike Leo, who was an unawakened one. ¡®Before I got the system, he stopped visiting me. After that, there was no information about him as though he disappeared into thin air.¡¯ From the information the system sent to his head, Leo learns that Mr. White has seen Joel once beforeing to Phirie City. Mr. White didn¡¯t even know Joel¡¯s name; all he knew about Joel was that he was a ve. ¡®Is it a coincidence? Why would Joel be in Evergreen City?¡¯ After learning about the whereabouts of Joel, Leo frowned because he had stayed in Evergreen City for nearly a year; however, he had never heard from or seen Jeol. ¡®I think I have to swallow a talent that can let me see through others¡¯ memories. Because, he might be using another name and even if I torture everyone in the Evergreen City, I might not be able to find him.¡¯ Leo thought about why he might not have heard about Joel in his one-year stay in Evergreen City and decided to swallow a particr talent. ¡®Anyway, I have to get out of here and think of a way to get such a talent before entering Evergreen City.¡¯ Leo looked at the corpse on the ground and devoured it using the [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Arcane Silver, go and devour all the weapons and the artfiacts in this weapons store.¡¯ After devouring Mr. White¡¯s corpse, Leo didn¡¯t leave; instead, he entered the [Supreme Market] to let his sword have a feast. As for him, he didn¡¯t forget to take Mr. White¡¯s storage ring and store all the pills and other items before returning to his manor. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s weapon ¡®Arcane Silver¡¯ has consumed enough weapons and artifacts to achieve a breakthrough in its grade. ****** The next Bonus Chapter is at 230 Golden Tickets (205 / 230). Come on¡­you can do it. Chapter 263 Buying His Own Death ¡®A breakthrough? Even though I was expecting it to upgrade its grade, I didn¡¯t expect it would be so soon.¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised by the sudden system notification. ¡®I think there were so many weapons and artifacts in the weapons store.¡¯ In the weapons store of the [Supreme Market], there were dozens of rank 9 weapons, hundreds of rank 8, and thousands of rank 7 weapons. So, Leo was not surprised with the breakthrough of his Arcane Silver anymore. ¡®Ding, The breakthrough of the Arcane Silver will bepleted in 24 hours. During that time, the host can¡¯t use it. ¡®Huh? It looks like all weapons need 24 hours to upgrade to the supreme grade.¡¯ Leo thought about the War God¡¯s Battle Axe, which was about toplete its upgrade, and silently thought. ¡®I have already given Captain Valerie a signal to start the takeover process of Phirie City. I hope they can sessfully im the city core and defend it until their supreme-ranked hero arrives.¡¯ Since Leo had taken care of the powerful hidden boss in the Phirie City, he was not worried too much about the Graceful Swans because he knew what they were capable of.. ¡®As for the Cloudriver family, by now, the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ must have finished their job.¡¯ ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ is the young mercenary squad that the Cloudriver family recruited to enter the [Treasure Land]; however, they were Leo¡¯s followers and were sent by Leo to keep an eye on the Cloudriver family from inside. Since Leo got all the answers he wanted, he felt there was no need for the Cloudriver family to exist anymore. Therefore, he sent dimir to inform the ¡®Ethereal des¡¯ to take care of the Cloudriver family silently. ¡®As for the Icefeather family, I will let them off for Amy¡¯s sake. If not for her, Julia would have suffered a lot. That¡¯s the least I could do for her.¡¯ Even though Leo acted cold in front of Amy, she was his first love and helped him when others kept their distance. ¡®Anyway, once the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ takes over Phirie City, the Icefeather family¡¯s business will take quite a hit as they could not sell the enved beings through the auctions anymore.¡¯ Most of the ie for the Icefeather familyes from the auction house¡­to be more specific; ites from the enved beasts and monsters. The ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ also hates enving others after an incident. As for what that incident was ¡­it was even ssified in the organization. ¡®Now, let¡¯s see what I learned about the ck Suits.¡¯ After putting aside all other thoughts, Leo checked the information about the ck Suits. ¡®So, they were called the Order of the ck Tower.¡¯ Finally, Leo got to know the name of the organization he had nicknamed ¡®ck Suits¡¯. ording to the information he received from the system about the Order of the ck Tower, its main objective was to establish a [Supreme Market] in each city and make sure everything was avable in it and where everyone could ess it. ¡®So, this is their pickup line for the new members. What a load of bullsh*t!¡¯ Leo scoffed at their organization¡¯s motto; however, he knew what kind of organization it was and what atrocities they could do to achieve its motto. They kidnap people and turn them into ves before selling them through their [Supreme Markets]! They take assassination orders, and as long as you give enough hero coins, they would even assassinate the city leaders. ¡®Of course, if their target is rich and could afford to pay them more than their patron, they don¡¯t hesitate to make a deal with their target to kill the patron. There is no limit to their atrocities.¡¯ Since Mr White was the branch leader, Leo was able to learn more than just the motto of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯. ¡®Suprsingly, Mr White was the one who bought me and Joel along with other missing children from the city.¡¯ However, when he thought about it, Leo was a little surprised that Mr White had already entered Phirie city back then. As for buying him and Joel, Leo was not surprised because that¡¯s what the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯s main business was. Either kidnap or buy the children from the nameless families and turn them into ves before selling them through their channels. ¡®I guess he bought his death upon himself.¡¯ This was the only thought in his head. If Mr White didn¡¯t buy Leo and Joel, back then and let the servants of the Ambermane Family kill them, Mr White might still be alive and soon have taken over Phirie City. So, what is it called other than Buying his own Death? ¡®Even though he saved me by turning me into a ve, I already killed him. There is no need to think about it.¡¯ If he had known that before, Leo might have hesitated a little in killing Mr White; however, he felt it was a waste of time to think about the closed chapter of Mr White. ¡®While the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ take over Phirie City, it¡¯s time to establish my own city.¡¯ Since Leo was already a supreme-ranked hero, there were no more restrictions for him in using the City Creation Token to establish his own city. ¡®I have already selected a nice location to establish a city.¡¯ Before meeting with Leader Maisy, creating a city was a part of his n. So, he already selected a location for it. So, there was not much for Leo to think about as he decided to leave the manor. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Master, I helped the Ethereal des and have sessfullypleted the mission.¡± Suddenly, the shadow vampires jumped out of Leo¡¯s shadow and informed Leo about the mission of taking care of the Cloudriver family. ¡°Did they already go back to the ¡®Tribe¡¯?¡± Leo paused in his tracks and asked dimir, who nodded in reply. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time to create our own City.¡± Soon, Leo took the surprised dimir and his new followers to the location where he was going to create a city. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Gift An Inspiration Capsule, (OR) 2) Reach 400 Golden Tickets (354 / 400). Chapter 264 [Bonus chapter]Floating City In the Solitary Forest, In Leo¡¯s hand, there was a gold-coloured token with mysterious runes on it. ¡®Ding, The host is qualified to create a city. Do you want to use the City Creation Token? As he was about to ask the system how to use the city creation token, he received a system notification. ¡®Yes.¡¯ There was no hesitation in Leo as he nodded. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Just as he agreed, Leo and the followers behind him felt the earth shaking a little, and soon a white-coloured pir rose from the ground that was around the same height as Leo. There was a circr pattern that was missing on the square pir. ¡®Ding, Please ce the City Creation Token in the circr pattern. Leo followed the system instructions and ced the Golden City Creation Token in the pattern. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, the white-coloured pir started shining with a bright golden coloured light before going back into the ground. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t know what was happening, he was patient and waited to see what would happen next.. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t wait for long as the earth shook once again, and this time, a huge golden building appeared in front of Leo. Majestic! A single word could describe the huge golden building. It was Leo¡¯s first time seeing such a majestic building that was shining with a golden light under the bright sun emitting a halo as though it was a celestial building from the heavens. ¡°Master, this building is marvellous.¡± Arlo and the remaining followers also marveled at the sight of the huge golden building. ¡°Yes, it is.¡± Leo agreed with his followers. ¡®Ding, The host used the City Creation Token (Gold-grade) and created the City Hall. ¡®Ding, The ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ will be summoned by default beside the City Hall. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Followed by the system notifications, Leo saw another building that was as majestic as the City Hall was being constructed magically. ¡®Since my city is created using a Gold Grade City Creation Token, will there be any additional effects to it?¡¯ ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ is a basic structure of any city and even if he created a city with the Bronze Grade City Creation Token, the ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ would be created. Hence, Leo was expecting the benefits of using the Gold Grade City Creation Token. ¡®Ding, The host can check the information on the ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ after the city is fully constructed. ¡®Ding, Please choose the type of city you want to construct. 1) Normal City (normal): It will be on the ground just like any other city. 2) Hidden City (rare): It will be an underground city that can¡¯t be visible to the outside world. 3) Underwater City (rare): It will be constructed under the water. 4) Floating City (super rare): There won¡¯t be a fixed position as the city always floats in the sky, moving from one ce to another. Note: Each city has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the city¡¯s grade mentioned besides the type of the city. ¡®Ding, Each city is protected by the Supreme-grade formation that makes the city leader invincible inside the city. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked to see the four types of cities he could create. ¡®And here I thought I could only create the city on the ground.¡¯ Even though Leo had heard about the hidden city from Theodore, he was not expecting that he could create it. However, to his surprise, not only can he create the Hidden City, but he can also create a super rare grade city, Floating City. ¡®System, there will be enough defence for the city if I choose to construct the Floating City right?¡¯ Even though having a Floating City seemed good, it would be a target in the eyes of other city leaders and the leaders of the secret organization. Therefore, he wanted to know about the defenses of the floating city before selecting it. ¡®Ding, Please select an option from the below: 1) Attack-type: Most of the registered citizens will awaken attack-type talents. Everyone receives a blessing of 10 percent additional damage on their attacks, and the city will be fully equipped with powerful weapons that could instantly kill the level 1 supreme-grade beings. 2) Defence-type: Most of the registered citizens will awaken defense-type talents. Everyone receives a blessing of 10 percent additional defense against the attacks. The city will be equipped with a powerful defensive barrier that can¡¯t be broken from outside even by a level 5 supreme-grade being. 3) Stealth-type (rare): The city leader can choose whether it can be visible or not, depending on the situation. Not even the peak supreme-grade beings could see it when it was in Stealth Mode. Note: They have their own limitations and cooldown. To his question, the system replied with an option to pick one of the city-type once again. ¡®Attack-type and Defence-type?¡¯ Leo said the full information on the holographic screen and concluded. ¡®I will go with Floating City and Stealth-type.¡¯ Once he read the three more options, Leo got a conclusion about what he had to choose. ¡®Even though this ce is good for creating a city, it¡¯s not bad to have a Sealth-type floating city.¡¯ Leo looked at his surroundings and silently thought to himself. ¡®Wait a second¡­I have another city creation token. I can use it to create another city.¡¯ Leo felt it was bad to leave such a good location. So, he decided to create a Silver Grade City after his Golden Grade city waspletely constructed. ¡®Ding, The host selected a Stealth-type floating city. The construction of the city has started. Please wait an hour. ¡®Only an hour?¡¯ Leo felt one hour was very less and decided to wait. ¡®It looks like I don¡¯t have to ally with the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ with my stealth-type floating city; instead, I can use the Silver Grade City to ally with them.¡¯ Since Leo had two city creation tokens, he knew what he had to do since he got a stealth-type floating city. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s weapon [War God¡¯s Battle Axe] has been sessfully upgraded to the supreme grade. Please check the full details in the [Hero¡¯s interface]. While Leo was waiting for his Floating city to get constructed, he suddenly received the system notification. ¡®I have been waiting for you.¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first Supreme-grade weapon, and he was quite excited to see the details. ¡®Ding, Weapon Name: War God¡¯s Battle Axe. Soul: Fully Awakened. Owner: Leo. Grade: Supreme (Low-level). Effect: 500 percent increase in the holder¡¯s strength, agility, stamina and constitution. Skills: Fatal force, Ultimate cleaver, Brutal strike, Titan strike, Lacerating slice. Special Effect: Ignore Defence; the wielder can ignore theplete defense of his opponents whose strength is below level 3 supreme grade. ¡®Wht? 500 percent increase?¡¯ Leo was surprised with a five times increase in the normal effect. What¡¯s more, there is even a special effect. ¡®It is just like a tiger getting its wings. With this, I can kill the level 3 supreme-grade beings with a single strike.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s Stealth-type Floating City is sessfully constructed. Amidst his excitement, the city was also constructed as he received the system notification. ¡®Second human?¡¯ However, in the next second, Leo heard a voice from the sky that made him shocked. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 400 Golden Tickets (360 / 400). Chapter 265 Blessing From An Unknown Entity ¡°Second human? Who are you?¡± Leo was surprised by the sudden voice from the sky. ¡°Master, who are you talking to?¡± dimir and others were confused and asked their master who he was speaking to. ¡°Huh? You can¡¯t hear that voice?¡± Leo asked them while pointing at the lighting through the clouds with a frown. ¡°What voice?¡± They looked at the sky; however, they could not see or hear any special light or the voiceing from the cloud. ¡®Am I hearing things after hearing the system notifications in my head for so long?¡¯ As Leo thought he was hearing things, the ancient voice again appeared, and so was the light. The ancient voice from the sky continued to speak without giving any time for Leo to ask questions.. ¡®What? Same Ability as the first human?¡¯ Leo raised his brows as he finally understood something that he didn¡¯t understand before. ¡®The human that created the city must be the ve Marker. No wonder he could travel between the world freely.¡¯ Leo silently muttered. ¡®Ding, The host received a Special Talent, ¡®The World Traveller¡¯ from an unknown entity. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: The World Traveller. Grade: Mortal Grade. Effect: The host can open a portal to a random grade 1 or gradeless world once every year, which lets him stay for seven days. Note: If they have enough reputation points in the world they enter, they could repeatedly enter the world every month and stay for a few days, depending on their reputation points. Soon, Leo received the system notifications in his head that gave the full information on his new talent that was blessed by someone unknown entity. ¡®It is definitely the talent that the ve Marker has.¡¯ After reading the information about his new talent, Leo confirms how the ve Marker was able to enter the Beas more often. ¡®So, the city he created must be the Hidden City ¡®The City of ves¡¯.¡¯ Since Leo was the second person to create a city in this world and the first person would be none other than ve Marker and Leo could conclude the so-called ¡®The City of ves¡¯ was a city created through the city creation token. After saying a few more things, the ancient voice from the sky and the lighting through the clouds also disappeared, making Leo think about something. ¡®Who is this Voice? Is this the same voice that the Starlight Tribe¡¯s leader mentioned?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think about the ve Marker anymore; instead, he thought about the ancient voice. Just as he thought the ancient voice had disappeared, it appeared once again to say something before disappearing. This time, it no longer appeared. ¡®We will be meeting again? Let¡¯s see.¡¯ The ancient voice from the sky was mysterious, and there was no way for Leo to gather information about it. Even though he guessed that the ming Lion King might know about it, Leo doubted he would say anything about it. Therefore, he decided to stop thinking about it and focused on his newly created floating city. ¡®System, where is my city?¡¯ The system had informed Leo that the city had been created; however, he could not find it anywhere. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as he asked the system, he was covered by a huge shadow and looking above his head, Leo saw a giant floating city with a radius of at least 100 meters. ¡®Ding, The host is not officially connected to the city. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for officially bing a city leader. A new system feature is unlocked. As Leo was still surprised to see a marvellous floating city above his head, he received a couple of system notifications, and thest notification pleasantly surprised him. ¡®Enter¡¯ However, he didn¡¯t bother to check it as he was more interested in the city. So, with a single word, a shlight on him and his followers appeared that sucked them into the city. ¡­ In the Floating City, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo and his followers appeared in front of the Majestic City Hall. There was not a single building or a tree other than the City Hall and the Hall of the God inside the floating city. However, the entire city is covered by a thick metallic wall, surprising Leo a little. ¡®Compared to the city walls of the cities created by the otherworldly beings, these walls look more sturdy.¡¯ ¡®The ground looks fertile and maybe because it is a floating city, the air in the city is clean, fresh and cool.¡¯ ¡®Overall, my floating city looks much better than the regr cities I have visited so far.¡¯ The first thing Leo did after entering the city was to check the surroundings andpare them with the cities created by otherworldly beings. ¡®I wonder, whether I can check the full information about the city at once?¡¯ Leo was indirectly asking the system to show the information. ¡®Ding, Please enter the City Hall and check the information about the Stealth-type Floating City. ¡®Excellent. The system never disappoints me.¡¯ Soon, Leo entered the City Hall and went straight to the Golden Pir, where he ced the city creation token. As though the pir sensed his thoughts, words started appearing on it, giving details about the city. ¡®What?¡¯ As he read the information, something caught his eyes that made him shocked and soon, he revealed an excited smile. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 400 Golden Tickets (363 / 400).

Isn¡¯t it just a ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ in the other cities?¡¯ The first thing that caught his eyes was the name of the second building, and after reading the effects, he understood his ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ was a special one. ¡®It looks like the God Grade City is really awesome. Even if my citizens don¡¯t do anything, their strength increases as long as they stay in the city.¡¯ The more he read, the more satisfied Leo became, and soon, he saw a new line appear at the bottom of the pir. [ce your hand on the pir, city leader] Since Leo created the city, he would be the city leader, and Leo ced his hand with a curious look without wasting any time. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, golden-coloured energy snakes came out of the pir and, using his hand as a bridge, entered his head. ¡®Aargh¡¯ In the next second, Leo felt a sharp pain in his head and could not help but groan a little. Along with the pain, Leo felt some foreign information was being transmitted into his head. So, he gritted his teeth and didn¡¯t retract his hand. Time continued to pass, and five minutes passed by in a sh, ¡®Huff..huff¡¯ Leo was a little out of breath; however, there was a slight smile as he thought, ¡®So, that¡¯s how I can control the city.¡¯ The pir sent aplete guide on managing and controlling the city. ¡®Stealth¡¯ With a single word, the entire floating city vanished in mid-air; however, it didn¡¯t change anything in the eyes of Leo¡¯s followers, who were outside the City Hall and were checking out the surroundings. ¡®Even though there were no attack systems and an average defence system, the city can survive by acitvating the stealth.¡¯ Leo knew there was a supreme-grade formation around the city that could temporarily protect it from the level 1 supreme-ranked beings. ¡®By the time they can destroy the barrier, I can easily kill them with my followers.¡¯ Leo was not worried that someone would uncover his stealth because he was no longer a mortal hero but a supreme hero. What¡¯s more, he even has a level 7 supreme-ranked beast hero as his follower, along with Arlo and Moonlight. ¡®Anyway I have to start filling the city with the citizens and have my own army.¡¯ After learning how to control and manage the city, Leo was ready to develop his city and build his army. Since his city gives a good boost in the experience points, Leo wanted to make good use of it. ¡®Move towards Phirie City.¡¯ Soon, the floating city started moving towards Phirie City at a very slow speed. ¡®As of now, it can only move 100 kilometers a day. So, I can¡¯t use it for solo travelling; however, it would be good to carry my whole army.¡¯ Leo wanted to pick the two hundred plus people he freed from their envement ves. Of course, he was going to ask them whether they were willing to be the citizens of his city before letting them into his city. ¡®Since they didn¡¯t awaken their talents yet, I activate the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ and awaken their talents.¡¯ Leo was not worried that they might better him because the effects of the [City Hall] would let him see through their loyalty. ¡®The moment it falls below 25 loyalty points, they might betray as long as they get a tempting deal from the other city leaders. I just have to make sure that there won¡¯t be any citizens with less than 25 loyalty points.¡¯ Before entering his floating city, Leo would state the conditions to them. If they n to betray the city in the future, it would be better for them not to enter the city because he would instantly kill those who even think about betraying. ¡°Anyway, it is time to build the city.¡± With a thought, Leo ced his palm on the pir and muttered, ¡°I want to buy a city manager.¡± [The City Leaders need to pay 25 million Hero Coins] That¡¯s right! The city pir is not only the city¡¯s core but also where you can buy things to build and develop the city. Only after receiving the information from the city pir does Leo understand the true use of the Hero coins and why the otherworldly beings empathized with the humans to produce as many hero coins as possible. ¡®It is to develop the city. As long as a city leader has enough Hero Coins, they cou develop the cities.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself and ced his storage ring close to the pir. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, hero coins started moving out of his storage ring to the city pir. ¡®Even though 25 million Hero Coins is too much to spend in a single go for a city manager, it is better to have a professional rather than a someon who barely knew how to manage things.¡¯ Most city leaders felt hiring a city manager was just a waste of money, and that¡¯s why Leo didn¡¯t know about the existence of city managers until he received the information from the city pir. [Your order for the city manager has been ced. Please wait 24 hours for your city manager¡¯s arrival] ¡®I hope hiring a manager is really a wise decision.¡¯ Leo silently thought about the new words on the city pir and checked the remaining Heo Coins in his ount. ¡®Ding, Hero Coins: 80 Million Hero Coins. ¡®I wonder how much I can develop my city with 50 Million Hero Coins.¡¯ Leo had gained so much money after looting the Ambermane Family and Cloudriver Family, killing Theodore, Gori, and Mr. White. Also, he gained so much from destroying the [Supreme Market]. ¡®Until my city manager arrives, I will create my second city.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo brought Arlo with him and left the Floating City. ¡°Arlo, create a city using this city creation token.¡± After returning to the same location from earlier, Leo tossed the silver-coloured city creation token to Arlo and asked him to create the city. ¡°What? Sir Leo, are you sure?¡± Arlo was shocked as he looked at Leo with an unbelievable look. ¡°Yes. Create your own city and in the future, you can bring back your entire tribe to this world and turn their status from monsters to humans again.¡± Leo¡¯s words shocked Arlo once again as he thought back to his sister¡¯s words, ¡®Is this what sister meant by getting benefited by following him?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 400 Golden Tickets (382 / 400). Chapter 267 [Bonus chapter]Third Official City ¡°Sir Leo, thanks for giving me such a great opportunity to create my own city.¡± Arlo came to his senses and thanked Leo from the bottom of his heart. ¡°However, I don¡¯t think I can create a city in this world since I am not a native of this world.¡± Arlo said in a low voice as though he was helpless for not being a native of this world. ¡°Haha¡­there is no need for you to worry about it.¡± In reply to Arlo¡¯s words, Leo could not help butugh before saying, ¡°Do you think I will let you create a city if you really can¡¯t create it?¡± After returning from the Beas, Leo checked the information on Arlo, and ording to the system, Arlo was not a monster in his world. Therefore, Leo knew that even humans from different worlds were not considered monsters in the human world. Since Arlo is considered a native of his world, Leo knew Arlo wouldn¡¯t have any problem creating a city in his world. That¡¯s why Leo gave Arlo the Silver Grade City Creation Token and let him create a city. ¡®ording to the system, as long as my followers create a city, their cities would be connected to my city and be a subsidiary city.¡¯ Leo was not generous enough to give away a precious item like a City Creation Token to a follower who had yet to do anything for him. However, since the city he created would be a subsidiary city to his floating city, Leo gave it away. ¡®Drip¡¯. Even though Arlo was shocked by Leo¡¯s words, he believed them, and without wasting time, he dropped his blood on it. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, the earth shook and just like before, a white-coloured pir rose from the ground. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Since he had watched Leo create his city, Arlo knew he had to put the city creation token in the pir. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Unlike Leo¡¯s city pir, Arlo¡¯s city pir shone with a sliver-coloured light before going back into the ground, and the city construction started. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s follower created a city, and it will be the subsidiary city to the host¡¯s floating city. Leo received a system notification in no time, making him think, ¡®So fast. Compared to the time taken for his city to get constructed, Arlo¡¯s normal city took only five minutes to get constructed. Even though Arlo had the chance to create a hidden or underwater city, Arlo chose a normal city under Leo¡¯s orders. Of course, Arlo also wanted a normal city as his goal was to bring all his tribe members back here, and since they need starlight energy to cultivate, a normal city was the best choice. ¡°With a 10 percent attack boost from your attack-type city, your starlight people will be even more powerful.¡± Looking at the two buildings in front of them, Leo said to Arlo and said, ¡°From today onwards, this will be your new world and let¡¯s find a way to bring your people back as soon as possible.¡± Currently, Leo can¡¯t go back to the Beas to bring the Starlight Tribe to his world. However, from the ming Lion King¡¯s words, Leo guessed there would be a way to return to the Beas sooner orter. ¡®If it was not possible, why would he send his son, the only heir to the ming Lion Race, with me?¡¯ Leo silently thought and informed Arlo, ¡°Soon, an unknown entity contacts you and rewards you. Take it.¡± ¡°Unknown entity?¡± Arlo frowned, and soon he saw a celestial light fall on his city through the clouds. ¡®Huh? I can also see it.¡¯ Surprisingly, Leo could see the light and heard the familiar ancient voice from the sky. Unlike before, the unknown entity didn¡¯t speak much with Arlo and disappeared after giving Arlo his rewards. ¡°A Grade 1 World Ticket and the three Fragments of the God Stones?¡± Leo could hear Arlo¡¯s reward for creating a city and soon noticed those items appear in Arlo¡¯s hands. Leo had already expected that Arlo might not be getting any special talent like he received because he was the third person, and he only created a silver-grade city. Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t mind the rewards he received. ¡®Especially the three Fragments of the God Stones are useful for me.¡¯ Without any hesitation, Leo was about to ask Arlo for the Fragments of the God Stones. ¡°Sir Leo, didn¡¯t you say you need the Fragments of the God Stones? Here, take them.¡± To Leo¡¯s surprise, Arlo gave them to him a slight smile. Even though the Fragments of the God Stones didn¡¯t have any effect on a supreme-ranked hero and cultivator like Arlo, he could use them to upgrade his second talent, which was still at rank 8. Leo took them without saying anything and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look at the world ticket? See whether it is a random world ticket or a specific world ticket?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± It was Arlo¡¯s first time seeing a world ticket, and he didn¡¯t know one could check it. Hence, after hearing Leo¡¯s words, he studied the words on the ticket. Even though Arlo could not read the words on the ticket, he could understand what it said. ¡°Sir Leo, it opens the portal to any world I want.¡± Arlo excitedly informed Leo, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Grade 1 World Ticket. Selected World: None. (The user can choose any world he wants). Effect: Upon activation, a portal opens to the world the user wants to enter, and the user can stay for one day in real-time. Note: The user can only bring 100 living beings through the portal when returning. To confirm that, Leo even checked the information on the ticket and nodded. ¡°However, you can only bring 100 people with you when youe back from the Beas. So, select carefully when you n to use the ticket.¡± Leo was not interested in entering the Beas because he returned from it a few days back. Moreover, he had other things to take care of and could even travel to different worlds. ¡°Only 100 people?¡± Arlo frowned; however, after thinking, he felt, ¡®For now, 100 is good. In the future, I should try to bring everyone.¡¯ ¡°Go and use it to bring 100 starlight tribesmen. I will stand guard to protect you.¡± Even though it was only 100 people, Leo felt Arlo could use some of his tribe members to develop this city. ¡°Yes, Sir Leo.¡± Soon, Arlo activated the supreme-grade formation around his city and activated the ticket to enter the Beas. ¡°dimir, did you send your bats to inform everyone to gather here?¡± Leo and dimir sat in the City Hall as Leo asked his shadow vampire. ¡°Yes, master. I already did and they mighte here in a day or two.¡± dimir excitedly replied, ¡°It will be nice to stay in an official city instead of a normally created tribe.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Leo nodded and was excited to meet all his followers after more than a year, ¡®I wonder how powerful they have be in a year.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Please check the newly unlocked system function. As Leo was looking forward to meeting his followers, Leo received a system notification reminding him about the new system notification. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 400 Golden Tickets (386 / 400). Chapter 268 New Title and New Feature ¡®Let¡¯s check it out.¡¯ A new system feature was unlocked when he became the city leader; however, Leo was more interested in the city than the feature. Since he had already checked out the city, Leo nodded and decided to check out his new system feature. ¡®Ding, System Feature: City Conquering Tab Use: Every time the host destroys or gets a subsidiary city, he will be rewarded with something good. ¡®Huh? I will be rewarded even for that?¡¯ Leo was surprised; however, he was more than happy to take the rewards from the system. ¡®I wonder why the system didn¡¯t trigger a reward? Is it because I didn¡¯t fight the city leader to make it my subsidiary city?¡¯ However, Leo frowned when he thought about the ¡®New Starlight City¡¯ created by Arlo. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully getting your first subsidiary city. ¡®Ding, The host is rewarded with a ¡®City Experience Booster¡¯. Please read the information about it to know how to use it. ¡®Ding, The host has met the required conditions to unlock a new title, ¡®The City Leader¡¯.. Soon, he received a series of system notifications, giving him back-to-back surprises. ¡®A new title and A new item?¡¯ With a thought, the information about an item and a title appeared in front of Leo. ¡®Ding, Item name: City Experience Booster. Effect: Upon activation, all the citizens of the host¡¯s main city and the subsidiary cities will receive ten times more than the regr experience points for a single day. Note: Use it during the city invasions or wars with the other city leaders, or it would be even better to use it during the world assessment where countless beasts and monsters run amok. ¡®Ding, Title Name: The City Leader. Effect: 1) The host can instantly travel between the main and the subsidiary cities. 2) The host¡¯s chances of persuading the powerful heroes, beasts, and monsters to join his city will be high. 3) In a fight, the morale of the opposing armies will be decreased by 10 percent. Note: The effect of this title can be stacked with other stackable titles. ¡®Interesting.¡¯ Reading the information on the item and the title, Leo knew how to make full use of them and made a mental note about them. ¡®Let¡¯s test the ability to instantly teleport between cities.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a thought, Leo disappeared from the New Starlight City and appeared in his Floating City, where his followerszed around. ¡°It¡¯s convenient.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, he returned to the New Starlight City with a slight smile. ¡­. In Phirie City, ¡°From this day on forth, this city belongs to the Healing of the Order Angels.¡± Captain Valerie¡¯s loud voice resounded in the entire Phirie City as she continued, ¡°Everyone,e forward and pay your respects to your new city leader Hanna.¡± Unlike the other secret organizations, the ¡®Healing of the Order Angels¡¯ didn¡¯t bother much about being secret because they were not evil and didn¡¯t have anything to hide. Moreover, their organization mostlyprises healing-type heroes; the more they heal others, the stronger their organization grows. Therefore, Captain Valerie didn¡¯t hesitate to announce their existence openly to the entire city. ¡®What is that?¡¯ ¡®Order of the Healing Angels? Never heard of it.¡¯ ¡®Order of the Healing Angels? Isn¡¯t that an organization that was known to heal everyone for free?¡¯ ¡®Really?¡¯ ¡®Of course, I heard from my grandmother that she once met a member of that organization who healed her injuries.¡¯ . . . Almost all the citizens didn¡¯t know about the existence of the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ except for a few who got to know recently when Julia got recruited, and a few more citizens knew from their grandparents. ¡®I hope the new city leader takes care of us and the city properly.¡¯ Nevertheless, all the citizens only cared about one thing: the city leader should protect them from the dangers lying outside the city wall. ¡­ Time continued to pass in the New Starlight City, and 24 hours passed by in a sh since Arlo entered the Beas. ¡°Sir Leo, we will meet again.¡± Leo was woken up from his cultivation when he heard a soft voice. ¡°Time runs like a wild horse whenever I cultivate using your tribe¡¯s Starlight Cultivation Technqiue.¡± He opened his eyes to see Aurora, Arlo¡¯s sister, and replied with a rxed look. ¡°Sir Leo, you must have been a cultivation maniac in your previous life.¡± Aurora was shocked when she saw Leo was already a level 3 starlight cultivator. How many days has it been since Sir Leo left Beas? Six days? But he is already a level 3 starlight cultivator! Nevertheless, she suppressed her shock andmented on Leo¡¯s cultivation speed with a slight smile. However, what Aurora didn¡¯t know was it¡¯s been only two days in the human world, and Leo had already be a level 3 starlight cultivator one day after returning. ¡°Maybe.¡± Leo shrugged and looked at the starlight tribe members Arlo brought back from the Beas. ¡°Sir Leo, I brought back my parents and eight strong supreme-ranked starlight guardians along with 90 young advanced starlight cultivators.¡± With an excited smile, Arlo exined who he had brought with him. ¡°It¡¯s your reward to begin with. So, there is no need to inform me about everything.¡± Leo shook his head and continued, ¡°Also, I will not meddle in the affairs of this New Starlight City and I am looking forward to seeing how you are going to develop it into a great city.¡± Leo was not the type to spoon-feed his followers and let them do whatever he wanted. However, if Arlo ever needed help, Leo didn¡¯t mind giving a hand, and when he required help from Arlo, he would not hesitate to ask. ¡°I will definitely not let you down, Sir Leo.¡± Arlo bowed to Leo as he was genuinely grateful for helping him in nearlypleting his dream, and as long as he worked hard, he couldplete it. ¡°You remember everything regarding bing allies with Phirie city, right? If you are notfortable, you can change your ns.¡± Leo thought about it for a moment and said. Since Arlo had only entered this world, Leo thought he might be ufortable; however, as a newly established city, it is better to ally with an already established city and a strong organization like the Order of the Healing Angels. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it was Arlo¡¯s decision to do what he had to do. ¡°Yes, Sir Leo.¡± Arlo nodded as he had already nned everything to develop the city since he got enough information from the city pir. Leo nodded and looked at Aurora for a moment before leaving the city with dimir. ¡­.. ¡°dimir, order you bats to guide Victor and others to the Floating City. It¡¯s time to make them officially the citizens of a true city.¡± After they left the New Starlight City, Leo ordered the shadow vampire. ¡°I already did, master.¡± dimir nodded, saying, ¡°I could not wait to meet my brother. I wonder how much he will be shocked when he sees my peak rank 9 strength¡­keke.¡± dimir revealed an evil smile as he could not wait to show off his strength in front of his brother. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (423 / 500). Chapter 269 Mass Awakening In front of Leo¡¯s manor, Phirie City, ¡°Are you sure you want to follow me?¡± Leo asked onest time, looking at more than 100 young men and women standing before him. ¡°Yes, Sir Leo. We are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives.¡± They replied in a loud and clear voice, making Leo nod his head in satisfaction. To be exact, 112 young people were standing in front of Leo, and they were none other than those who Leo freed from their envement seals. After returning from New Starlight City to Phirie City, Leo gathered around 250 people he freed and asked how many were willing to follow him. Only 112 decided to follow him because they were orphans and didn¡¯t have anywhere to go. As for the others, they want to search for their families and return to them. Even though they were unwilling to follow him, Leo didn¡¯t force them and even promised them that the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ would help them find their families. ¡°Then, let¡¯s go.¡± With a single wave of his hand, Leo and those who swore to follow him for the rest of their lives disappeared. The 112 young men who decided to follow Leo had multiple reasons for making their decision to follow. The first and foremost reason is Leo was rich and powerful. ¡®In this dangerous world, following somone powerful is the best thing to do. Moreover, he removed our envement ves, I can repay him by doing menial works.¡¯. More or less, everyone had the same thought, and they only thought of repaying Leo with menial works because no one had awakened their talents. Most of them were not given a chance to enter the ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ when they were ten, and a few of them were unlucky not to awaken any talent. Therefore, they could only think of repaying Leo by doing menial talents. ¡­¡­ In front of City Hall, Floating City, ¡®Wow¡­where are we?¡¯ ¡®They look just like the City Hall and the Hall of the Gods but they look more majestic and divine than the ones I had seen in the past.¡¯ ¡®Yes. That ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ looks more divine than any ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯ I have ever seen.¡¯ The young men who appeared in the Floating City were surprised at the City Hall and the Hall of the Divine Gods. ¡°Wee to Golden Hawk City.¡± Amidst their curious looks regarding this new city, they heard Leo¡¯s words, who walked out of the City Hall with a small elf fairy flying behind him. The small elf fairy was the city manager that he bought with 25 million Hero Coins. ¡°Those who want to be the citizens of this city have to pledge.¡± Soon, the elf fairy flew into the sky, emitted a golden light, and continued, ¡°Repeat after me.¡± ¡°From this day on forth, I will never betray the City Leader Leo and the Golden Hawk City and I am willing to contribute my best efforts in developing this city.¡± ¡°From this day on forth, I will¡­..¡± Even though they were still a little confused by the sudden words of the small elf fairy, they didn¡¯t hesitate to repeat her words. Since they have already decided to follow Leo and repay him for saving them, the young men pledged with sincerity. ¡°Now, bow to the City Leader to officially be the citizens of this city.¡± Along with them, the elf fairy also bowed to Leo, showing that she was also someone whose authority lies below the City Leader. ¡°Thanks for epting us, City Leader.¡± Everyone was happy to be citizens and felt like they finally had a ce to call ¡®Home¡¯. ¡°City leader, they are now ofifcally your citizens. You can activate the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ to awaken their talents.¡± As the city manager, the elf fairy informed Leo what he had to do. ¡°Okay.¡± Leo nodded, looked at the 112 newly became citizens in front of him, and muttered in a low voice, ¡®Show me the loyalty points.¡¯ Even though he could tell that almost everyone was excited to repay him by helping him, a human heart can change quickly. Moreover, Leo was curious to see how the loyalty points would be shown. Therefore, he decided to check it out before sending them into the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯. [Selphie, Loyalty (100/100)] [Nathan, Loyalty (85 / 100)] [Jacob, Loyalty (83 / 100)] . . [Riley, Loyalty (75 / 100)] . . [Elena, Loyalty (85 / 100)] Soon, pop-up notifications appeared above everyone¡¯s heads, including the elf fairy¡¯s head, who was loyal to him and his city. ¡®It is much higher than I thought.¡¯ As for 112 citizens, they have varying loyalty points from 75 to 85, which was much higher than what Leo was expecting. A person would only think of betraying when the loyalty points are below 25 points. Hence, Leo thought these newly epted citizens would have around 50 points. So, 75 to 85 was a much bigger number than he thought. ¡®I think it is because they were orphans and didn¡¯t have anything to call Home until now. So, of course they want to protect the city and develop it.¡¯ As someone who was an orphan, Leo knew even a little warmth shown by others would be a great deal for him. And that¡¯s how he was willing to go as far as risking his life to take revenge against the ve Marker, who killed the two most important people in his life. ¡°Everyone, you can enter the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ and awaken the talents.¡± Coming out of his thoughts, Leo said in a calm voice. He continued, ¡°Even though you have all missed the chance of awakening the talents for various reasons, I will give you an opportunity to awaken the talents once again.¡± ¡°What? Can we still awaken the talents?¡± ¡°City Leader, I have already failed to awaken when I was ten. Is it really okay to enter the Hall of the Gods?¡± Everyone was surprised; however, Leo nodded and assured them they would awaken a talent. ¡°This is not a ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯; instead, it is a ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ that can awaken the talents from all the humas.¡± ¡°Hall of the Divinve Gods?¡± As soon as they got the confirmation from Leo, everyone became excited and looked at the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ with stars in their eyes. ¡°Open¡± With a single word from Leo, the huge golden-coloured doors of the Hall of the Divine Gods opened. ¡°You can enter now.¡± ¡°Yes, Ciy Leader.¡± No one hesitated and entered the Hall of the Divine Gods. ¡®Creak¡¯ The huge doors closed as soon as they entered the Hall of the Divine Gods, and the entire building started shining brightly. ¡®I wonder if anyone with a special talent will appear fom this batch.¡¯ ording to the information he had on the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯, from every 1000 awakened humans, there would be at least one person who awakens a special talent. Even though there were only 112 members, Leo wondered whether he would be lucky. ¡®Ding, The awakening in the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯ has sessfully beenpleted. ¡®So soon.¡¯ Leo was surprised to see the huge doors open as his citizens walked out with excited smiles. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (428 / 500). Chapter 270 [Bonus Chapter] Infernal Flash and Replication ¡°Everyone, stand in three lines depending on your talent-type.¡± Slephie flew into the air and asked the 112 citizens to form into three lines. ¡°Those who awakened Attack-type talents stand in the first line and the second line belongs to those with the defence-type talents.¡± The elf fairy continued to give them instructions, ¡°As for the third line with support and misceneous-type talents.¡± ¡°Yes, city manager.¡± They were excited about their new talents; however, they didn¡¯t forget who gave them the opportunity and what they should be doing next. Therefore, without wasting time, they stood in three lines. ¡®System, do your analysis.¡¯ Even though Leo could analyze on his own, the system could do that more urately in the least possible time. Therefore, he asked the system to analyze as he looked at the three lines of people in front of him. ¡®Ding, 1) Attack-type Heroes: 50. Detected one special talent. 2) Defence-type Heroes: 40. No special talent detected. 3) Support-type Heroes: 22. Detected one special talent. Soon, the systempleted its analysis regarding the talents of everyone in front of Leo and protected the information. ¡®What? Two special talents?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised to see among the 112 awakened citizens two awakened special talents.. ¡°Those who awaken special talents,e forward.¡± Even though he was pleasantly surprised, Leo didn¡¯t think much about it because the Hall of the Divine Gods waspletely on a different levelpared to the regr Hall of Gods. Instead, he was curious about the special talents and wanted to see them. ¡°City Leader.¡± Soon, a young man and a beautiful young woman walked forward and respectfully bowed to Leo with suppressed excitement on their faces. They had never imagined awakening a talent and bing the Heroes; however, today, not only did they awaken their talents, but they awakened special talents which made them excited to look forward to their future. ¡®Ding, Hero Name: Nathan. Talent: Infernal sh (Level 1). Talent Information: When the talent is activated, the user will turn into a fire man that could pass through others who were one rank higher than him. The targets will be turned into nothingness after sessfully passing through them. ¡®Ding, Hero Name: Elena. Talent: Replication (Level 1). Talent Information: The user can temporarily replicate the normal talents of other heroes for minutes. Note: The replicated talent will be at the same level as her talent [Replication]. ¡®[Infernal sh] and [Replication], nice talents.¡¯ After reading the information on their talents, Leo knew how powerful they could be and said to everyone, ¡°You all need to work hard and increase your strength. In this world, the only way to protect someone or something is by having some strength.¡± ¡°Also, the most important thing you could do with your strength is to protect yourselves in this cruel world. So, don¡¯t give any excuses and work hard to increase your strength.¡± Maybe it was because of his title [The City Leader] or his experience of leading dozens of followers that everyone became determined to increase their strength. ¡°We will work hard, City Leader.¡± Previously, they med their fate for not awakening their talents and for being abandoned by their rtives and orphanages just because they didn¡¯t awaken their talents. However, they don¡¯t have anyone more reason to sit and me the heavens as they finally get the opportunity to be stronger. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining absolute loyalty from your citizens. ¡®Ding, All the citizens of Golden Hawk City receive 2X experience points for an entire month. ¡®Ding, Continue to increase the number of citizens in your city and gain their loyalty to receive additional rewards. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head, which pleasantly surprised him. ¡®What? Absolute Loyalty?¡¯ Leo hurriedly checked the loyalty of his citizens. Above their heads, everyone had [Loyalty, (100/100)]. ¡®I know their loyalty will increase after awakening their talents; however, aren¡¯t they a little too loyal?¡¯ ording to the system, if someone had 100 loyalty points towards him, they would do anything that Leo asked. ¡®Even if I ask them tomit suicide, they won¡¯t hesitate to die.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself as he looked at the 112 young citizens of his Golden Hawk city. ¡®Ding, If the host mistreats them or they don¡¯t like what the host does, their loyalty towards the host will decrease. ¡®Ding, Therefore, the host must not take his loyal followers and citizens for granted to do his bidding. Note: The system knows the host is not the type to do that but still, it is my duty to inform you. ¡®Good. At least you know; otherwise, I would have been offended.¡¯ If there were someone in this world that could understand him better than anyone, it would be the system. So, if not for the note in the second system notification, Leo would not have been offended as he said; instead, he would have been disappointed. ¡®Anyway,ing back to the business.¡¯ Leo shook aside those thoughts and, looking at the citizens; he thought, ¡®I think it is time to train them to make use of the reward given by the system.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as Leo wanted to say something, the shadow vampire jumped out of his shadow. ¡°City Leader, there is a monster.¡± Nathan and Elena, who were close to Leo, became anxious when they saw the sudden appearance of dimir and thought the shadow vampire was trying to harm their city leader. Hence, they hurriedly rushed forward to protect Leo with their newly awakened talents. ¡®Huh?¡¯ dimir raises his brows and has a yful smile when Nathan and Elena activate their level 1 talents against him. ¡°You think you can protect him with your strength?¡± The shadow vampire changed his direction, clutched Nathan and Elena by their throat, and asked with a mocking smile. [Infernal sh] [Replication ¨C Infernal sh] Nathan activated his talent, and since Nathan was the only one close to her, Elena replicated his talent and tried to escape from the shadow vampire¡¯s grasp. However, how could they escape from a special rank 9 monster? Even though they have special talents, they were useless because they were still at level 1 and could do nothing against a special rank 9 monster like the shadow vampire. ¡°dimir, that¡¯s enough.¡± Leo shook his head and stopped the shadow vampire from ying with them any further. ¡°As you wish, Master.¡± In the next second, he turned into a shadow and genuflected in front of Leo. ¡°Cough¡­Master?¡± Both Nathan and Elena coughed, and they were surprised to see the shadow vampire bend on its knee to greet their city leader. ¡°Master?¡± Simrly, the remaining citizens were also shocked and looked at Leo in a new light. ¡°What is it?¡± Leo asked the shadow vampire with a serious look. ¡°Master, my Brother Victor and everyone from our tribe has returned and are waiting a few kilometers away from Phirie City.¡± dimir knew Leo was a little angry. So, he didn¡¯t beat around the bush and hurriedly stated the reason for his sudden appearance. ¡°Already?¡± Leo was slightly surprised, and looking at his citizens, he said, ¡°I thought I should give you some time; however since you have seen him, I will let you meet my other followers today but don¡¯t get shocked when you see them.¡± After saying that, Leo guided his floating city to the location, his followers were waiting. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (440 / 500). Chapter 271 Shadow Vampire King In front of the City Hall, Golden Hawk City, The open ground in front of the City Hall was filled with groups of humans, monsters and beasts. However, no one tried to fight with one another as they were quietly waiting for the orders from their master. ¡°Let¡¯s start the introductions.¡± Looking at the crowd in front of the City Hall, Leo revealed a satisfied look as he pointed at one of the groups. ¡°I am Dominic, captain of the Golden Gaints mercenary squad and these 32 heroes behind me are my squad members.¡± The introductions started with Dominic briefly introducing himself and his squad to the others. ¡°I am Flectcher, captain of the Silent Beasts squad and I have 33 heroes in my squad.¡± ¡°Daniel, leader of the Ethereal des. I am in charge of 32 heroes.¡± The three young but powerful mercenary squadspleted their introductions with a calm look on their faces. ¡°All the members of these three squads are rank 7 heroes and could even work together to kill rank 9 beings.¡± ¡°More importantly, they were once in the same situation as you are currently in and they didn¡¯t give up hope no matter how difficult things became and eventually became advanced heroes.¡± ¡°Also, they have been following me for thest five years and went through countless trials and tribtions with me.¡± ¡°So, just because they were mercenaries, you don¡¯t have to look down on them.¡±. After three squads under him finished their introductions to his citizens, Leo helped them understand how strong and important they were to him. Since everyone in this world looks down on mercenaries, Leo didn¡¯t want his citizens to do the same because Dominic and others were special to him, and he didn¡¯t want anyone looking down on them. ¡®What? They have been in the same situation as us?¡¯ ¡®They have been following the city leader for five years and they have already be the advanced heroes. I wonder whether he can also achieve that feat.¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know about you, but I am not going to disappoint the city leader and work as hard as possible.¡¯ The 112 citizens became more and more determined with each word Leo said and looked at Dominic and others with great respect. ¡°They will be guiding you until you be the advanced heroes. If you caught their eye with your talents, you will be recruited into their mercenary squads.¡± Leo saw that his new followers were excited and ended his speech before saying, ¡°So, work hard.¡± ¡°We will definitely work hard, City Leader.¡± ¡°Yes, City Leader.¡± The 112 citizens roared in unison with great excitement. ¡°Good.¡± Leo nodded and said, ¡°Since you met my human followers, it is time for you to know about my monster followers and beasts.¡± While saying that, Leo looked at the monster and beast groups standing along with the three mercenary squads. ¡°Kret, the leader of the cial Imps.¡± cial Imps are humanoid monsters with devil wings and tails that like to fool around; however, when they were in front of Leo, they were obedient. They have thick white-coloured fur, and they excel in using ice-type skills. ¡°Tasha, the leader of the Sun Nagas.¡± Sun Nagas use the energy from the sun to increase their ranks, which could be considered cultivation; however, these Sun Nagas don¡¯t have a cultivation technique. Their bodies automatically absorb the sun¡¯s energy on their own. All they needed to do was bask in the sunlight. ¡°Rok, the leader of the Fury Golems.¡± The third monster/ beast leader was a humanoid rock and behind him stood 100 red-coloured rock men, waiting for orders from their leader. They don¡¯t have much attack power; however, their defense was excellent. Soon, the three monster/beast leaders finished their introductions to the citizens. At first, they were a little fearful; however, seeing how they acted respectfully in front of Leo, the citizens¡¯ fear disappeared. Moreover, Leo had already informed them that he had other monsters and beasts under his control that would be a part of this city. Hence, they were mentally prepared for it and looked at the second shadow vampire standing behind Leo. All the monsters, beasts and mercenaries, including the shadow vampire that toyed with scared them earlier, were standing in the open ground along with them; however, the second shadow vampire was standing behind Leo as he looked at them. ¡°You must be curious about him.¡± Soon, Leo pointed at the shadow vampire standing behind him and introduced himself, ¡°He is Victor, the Shadow Vampire King. When I am not around, he will be in incharge of this city.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ The 112 citizens were shocked at Leo¡¯s words and looked at Victor, who had a cold face from beginning to end. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± On the other hand, Leo¡¯s old followers like Dominic and others didn¡¯t have any problem because they knew how capable Victor was in leading theirst tribe. ¡°Victor, you are no longer taking care of an old tribe; instead, you will be taking care of a special city. I have high hopes for you.¡± Leo turned around and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use, I want these 112 young men to be the advanced heroes in a month.¡± ¡°One month?¡± Victor frowned and was about to say something. ¡°By the way, all the citizens of this city will receive double experience points for the next one month. Dominic, Fletcher and Daniel, you need to use this opportunity to make your squads powerful. We don¡¯t have much time.¡± There were only five months left for the uing world assessment. So, Leo urged Dominic and others to start farming for experience points in the wilderness. ¡°Double experience points? Excellent. Don¡¯t worry, Boss.¡± Dominic and others assured Leo. ¡°Vitcor, take care of them.¡± After finishing his words, Leo entered the city hall as he had a few more things to do inside the city hall. ¡°Dominic, gather your squad here.¡± Outside the city hall, Victor started giving orders to everyone. ¡®Sigh¡­brother has also reached peak rank 9 by staying in the wilderness. I can¡¯t brag in front of him anymore.¡¯ dimir didn¡¯t dare to stay in front of his brother as he jumped into a shadow and silently hid in Leo¡¯s shadow. ¡­. Inside the City Hall, ¡°City Leader, it looks like you will turn the floating city into a war city.¡± The elf fairy flew around Leo andmented after seeing Leo¡¯s army. ¡°I just want a powerful city and all its citizens to be supreme-ranked heroes. So, when there is an invasion or worldly assessment, my city should be able to protect itself.¡± Leo wanted a safe ce for his family and followers, and a powerful floating city was not a bad ce. Therefore, Leo empathized with creating a powerful city that could stop the uing world assessment on its own without relying on the other cities for help. ¡°I wonder if we fail the world assessment but survive, can I take this city with me to the other world?¡± Leo was curious because he was more attached to this new floating city than the world he had lived in for thest 20-plus years. [Detected the monsters and beasts in the city. Do you want to ept them as citizens?] Just as he reached the city pir, Leo saw a row of words appear on it, making Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®Yes¡¯ [Congratuations to the city leader for epting the monsters and beasts as your citizens. You will be rewarded with two new buildings.] **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (445 / 500). Chapter 272 Hall of the Monster Gods and Bestial Gods ¡®Huh? New Buildings?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t expect to be rewarded for epting the Monsters and Beasts as his citizens. ¡®I wonder what type of buildings I was rewarded with.¡¯ With a curious look, Leo waited for the pir to give more information on his rewards. ¡°A city leader should wee all types of races if they want to join a city and having a myriad of races in the city will only make the city stronger in the face of crisis.¡± Selphie, the elf fairy, exined why the city pir unlocked two new buildings. ¡°True.¡± Leo nodded as he understood, ¡®If different races protect my city from an outside danger, not only can we eliminate elemental disadvantage and race suppression.¡¯ Race suppression is a phenomenon where a high-ss member could easily suppress a low-ss member in the same race without doing anything. [Hall of the Monster Gods and Hall of the Bestial Gods] Soon, the names of the two newly unlocked buildings appeared on the city pir, followed by their information. Building Name: [Hall of the Monster Gods] Effect: 1) All the monsters in the city will have a passive 10 percent increase in their battle prowess. 2) If any monster contributes to the development or protection of the city, they have a small chance of evolution or rank promotion.. Building Name: [Hall of the Bestial Gods] Effect: 1) All the beasts in the city will have a passive 10 percent increase in their battle prowess. 2) If any beast contributes to the development or protection of the city, they have a small chance of evolution or rank promotion. [Note: The Monster/ Beast eggs hatched in this city will have a small chance of mutating and awakening a bloodline or special talents.] ¡°It ispletely different from the Hall of the Divine Gods.¡± When he saw the names of the two buildings, Leo thought they must be used to awaken the talents and skills of monsters and beasts; however, after reading them, they realized they were different from what he expected. ¡®It looks like these two buildings encourage the monster and beast citizens to contribute to the city¡¯s development.¡¯ Leo understood the true purpose of those two buildings after reading their information. ¡°Anyway, city manager, why don¡¯t you buy a few living residences for every type of citizen?¡± From the city pir, the city leader or manager could buy the items required by a city and its citizens. The reason why Leo bought the elf fairy was to manage the city. Therefore, Leo gave the 70 million Hero coins to the elf fairy and asked her to do her job. ¡°It is my pleasure managing your city, City Leader.¡± The elf fairy revealed an excited smile and hurriedly nodded. ¡°City Leader, are you nning to leave the city now?¡± Suddenly, Selphie thought of something and asked Leo who was leaving the City Hall. ¡°I will leave after using my new talent [The World Traveler].¡± Since the talent has a cooldown of one year, Leo felt it was better to use it as soon as possible to make full use of it. So, he was not nning to leave the city for the next seven days and use his talent to enter a new grade 1 world. ¡°Okay. If you are nning to leave the city, I suggest you take this item with you.¡± While saying that, the elf fairly ced her hand on the city pir, and a scroll appeared mid-air. ¡°Huh?¡± Leo raised his brows and curiously looked at the hovering scroll. ¡®Ding, Item Name: City Returning Scroll. Effect: No matter which corner of the world you are in, you will be teleported to the city after tearing the scroll. Note: 1) The scroll is bound to the Golden Hawk City, and only its citizens can use it. 2) A citizen can bring 99 more people with him. As for whether they were the citizens or non-citizens of the Golden Hawk City, it doesn¡¯t matter. ¡®Oh. Interesting.¡¯ Leo felt the item was interesting and useful for him and his citizens and decided to keep one on him for emergencies. Even though Leo could teleport 100 kilometers with a single thought, that ce needed to be visible to him. Moreover, the world is so big, and it was quite convenient to use the City Returning Scroll to return to the city. ¡°I will take it.¡± After taking the scroll, Leo left the core room of the city hall and entered his spacious bedroom. ¡®Before I use my talent, I should bring Ryan and others to this city.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t forget to bring his siblings and said he was the city leader of the floating city and asked them to keep it a secret. At first, they were shocked; however, since they learned that their brother works for the Talent Swallowing Hero, they were less shocked and became citizens of the Golden Hawk City. Since the benefits of bing the citizens of the Golden Hawk City were much greater than bing a citizen of other cities, Leo wanted his siblings to be the citizens of his city. ¡®Finally, I finished meeting Ryan as a Talent Swallowing Hero.¡¯ At the same time, Leo used this opportunity to put on a mask and meet Ryan; however, he only exchanged a few lines of conversation before leaving there, afraid that Ryan might discover his identity. ¡®It¡¯s time to visit my second grade 1 world.¡¯ Even though Leo thought to enter the [God Ruins] and then to Evesting City, he felt he should use his new talent to enter a new grade 1 world. Of course, during his one-week stay in the grade 1 world, his floating city would be moving towards the Starlight city¡¯s [Uncleared Lands] where the [God Ruins] is situated. Moreover, to reach the Evesting city, Leo had to go through the same path. Therefore, he thought by the time he returned from the grade 1 world; his city would be reaching halfway to the [God Ruins]. ¡®However, before that, should I unlock a new system ability before activating my new talent?¡¯ With a thought, a system notification appeared in front of him. ¡®Ding, Fragment of the God Stones: 5 Leo previously had two fragments of the God Stones and received three more from Arlo; however, he didn¡¯t want to use them directly as it would be wasting their special effect. ¡®Ding, The host has used the special effect of the Fragment of the God Stone to reset the cooldown on his [Talent Swallowing Ability]. First, Leo used the special effect to reset the cooldown of his ability before taking out three Fragments of the God Stones and said, ¡®System, I want to unlock the new system ability.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Consuming the three Fragments of the God Stones. ¡®Ding, Unlocking a new system ability will take a while. Please wait. ¡®No problem.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t stress over waiting for a while and thought, ¡®Let¡¯s enter a grade 1 world and increase my strength a little more for the next one week.¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host has activated his talent [The World Traveller]. The host will be teleported to a grade 1 Goliath Devil World. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (448 / 500). Chapter 273 [Bonus chapter] Devil Goliath World ¡®Goliath Devil World? I hope I can find someone with a talent to see through the memories in this world.¡¯ Leo raised his brows, and in the next second, he disappeared from his room. There were many reasons why Leo wanted to enter a grade 1 world so badly, and some of them were: 1) To gain some new special talents and skills. 2) To upgrade the levels of his existing talents and skills. 3) Find some useful resources to increase his and his followers¡¯ strength. However, the main reason for entering a grade 1 world was to awaken a special talent. A special talent that could help him see through other memories or something rted to that. Without such talent, it was almost impossible to find out the whereabouts of Joel in the Evesting city. If Leo had such a talent, the first thing he would have done was to rush to the Evesting city and turn it upside down to find the whereabouts of Joel. ¡®Even if I don¡¯t find such a talent in this grade 1 world, I have to change my method in finding the whereabouts of Joel, and it was through the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯.¡¯ Since Mr. White was the one who sold Joel as a ve in the past and even met him in the Evesting city once, Leo felt he might find out about him through that secret organization. ¡­.. Some random location in the Devil Goliath World, ¡®Ssh¡¯. A portal appeared, and Leo was thrown into ck-coloured water. ¡®Ding, The host has entered the Grade 1 Devil Goliath¡¯s World. ¡®Ding, The time in this world runs seven times slower than the host¡¯s world. One day in this world = Seven Days in the human world. ¡®Only one day?¡¯ Before Leo could get adapted to the sudden change in the world, he received two system notifications that made him frown. Initially, Leo thought he could stay longer in this world, just like how he stayed 21 days in the Beas so that he could finish all his goals. However, after learning that he could only stay in this world for a single day, Leo felt he didn¡¯t have much time to waste. ¡®But the problem is, where the hell am I?¡¯ As far as his eye could see, Leo waspletely surrounded by ck-coloured water. ¡®I need to find someone in this world to know about his world.¡¯ Since Leo didn¡¯t have much time to waste, he decided to findnd and some natives because he could swallow the talents only from the natives of these words. [Golden Wyvern Wings] In the next second, two huge golden-coloured wings appeared on his back as he flew out of the ck water. ¡®All directions look the same. Let¡¯s go this way.¡¯ [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation]. Soon, he teleported in a specific direction a few times before he finally foundnd. ¡®Finally, there isnd.¡¯ Leo heaved a sigh of relief to find the shore; however, he didn¡¯t teleport there directly as he felt something was wrong with it. ¡®Why does it feel deste?¡¯ Leo tried to find the living beings on thend; however, there were none. ¡®Is it really a grade 1 world? There are no natives, no monsters and no devils. It makes me feel that this world is long abandoned.¡¯ If the system didn¡¯t say that this was a grade 1 world, Leo would definitely think it was an abandoned world because even after traveling more than 1000 kilometers, Leo didn¡¯t see a single living being in this world, both onnd and in water. ¡®Anyway, Devil Goliaths are beings that don¡¯t like water. I can only try to find them onnd.¡¯ After not finding anyone on thend, Leo teleported to the shore and carefully observed his surroundings. ¡®What is that?¡¯ The moment set his foot on the ground, Leo saw a huge gateway that was in red-colour on a mountain in the distance. ¡®Ding, A new mission has been generated. Please check it. Just as he was wondering about the red gate in the distance, Leo received a system notification that made him heave a sigh of relief. The reason why he heaved a sigh of relief was that the system definitely knew something about the gate. Leo knew he could find out about it as long as hepleted the mission. ¡®I wonder what type of mission the system has generated in this deste world.¡¯ ¡®Grrr¡¯ Just as Leo was about to check the newly generated mission, he heard low growls, and soon Leo saw hundreds of ck-coloured devilish beasts surrounding him. ¡®When did they surround me?¡¯ As a supreme-ranked hero, Leo¡¯s senses were far stronger than rank 9 heroes. So, he was surprised by the silent appearance of the beasts. ¡®Ding, They are the [Corroded devil beasts] and have the minimum strength of level 1 supreme rank. ¡®Huh? Corroded devil beasts? Supreme rank? Are you telling me that they are all the supreme-ranked beasts?¡¯ Looking at the ugly-looking devil beasts around him, Leo silently asked the system as he became ready to fight them. ¡°This will be my first fight after I be the supreme hero. Come at me.¡± Even though Leo could hide in the [Secret Dimensional Space], he didn¡¯t have any ns to do so as he summoned the war god¡¯s battle axe. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Seeing Leo summon a weapon, the ugly devil beasts rushed at him while letting out growls. [Battle Axe Mastery] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ Leo activated his talent and started shing the iing devil beasts. ¡®Ding, The host killed two level 1 supreme-ranked corroded beast beasts and gained two [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®It looks like they give the supreme promote points. I can begin farming them.¡¯ Leo knew he needed supreme promote points to upgrade the talents after they reached the supreme. Therefore, he became excited and started swinging the Battle-axe to kill more and more devil beasts. However, there were hundreds of them, and no matter how many Leo killed, they soon covered him. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Radius st] ¡®Boom¡¯ In the next second, a huge explosion resounded as all the devil beasts were sted away. ¡®Huh? Not a single one died from the explosion?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and shook his head in disappointment. ¡®It looks like these devil beasts have a stronger defence than their looks.¡¯ From a nce, no one could imagine they have such a strong defence; however, even with the Radius st, there were barely any injuries on them. ¡®I think I need to upgrade my [Mighty Combustion] to the Supreme grade to do some damage to them.¡¯ Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®Nevermind, I can use it to push them and use my supreme grade battle axe to kill them.¡¯ Soon, Leo resumed hacking the devil beasts that wereing at him. Whenever they closed in on him, Leo would use the [Radius st] to push them away so that he could continue swinging the battle axe to kill him. ¡®I wonder what type of skills and talents I can get by devouring them.¡¯ Leo was curious about that, and while killing them, Leo used [Absolute Devour] to devour one of the corpses on the ground, only to frown at the system notification he received. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (445 / 500). Chapter 274 Collecting Supreme Devil Cores ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t devour the corroded beasts with the current level of [Absolute Devour]. ¡®What? Why can¡¯t they devour them? Is it because of the corrosion?¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw the system notification because it was the first time his talent [Absolute Devour] failed to devour something. ¡®Ding, The system detected devil cores inside these beasts. Collect them. ¡®Huh? Devil cores?¡¯ Leo stopped fighting the devil beasts and pulled a few corpses into the Secret Dimensional Space. ¡®sh¡¯ With a simple sh, Leo cleaved the corpse into two and saw a small ck-coloured stone around the size of the pebble. ¡®Ding, Item Name: Supreme Devil Core (Level 1). Use: A devil cultivator could absorb the energy inside it to replenish his devil energy in a short time. The moment he picked the ck-coloured stone, the name and the use of the stone appeared before him.. ¡®Can be used by the devil cultivator?¡¯ Leo learned about the various types of cultivators from the Starlight Tribe leader. So, he knew exactly how important these devil cores are for a devil cultivator. ¡®Since the Devil Goliaths upy this world, I wonder whether they follow any devil cultivation?¡¯ There were thousands of devil beasts outside his [Secret Dimensional Space], and he didn¡¯t have any problem killing them since the strongest devil beast he saw so far in the horde was a level 3 supreme beast. With the boost from his title [Supreme Killer] and other support-type talents along with a supreme grade weapon like Battle Axe, Leo didn¡¯t have any problem killing the level 3 supreme-ranked devil beast. ¡®Moreover, they don¡¯t use any skills or talents and only use physical attacks, which makes it even easier for me to kill them.¡¯ Therefore, Leo thought he could kill as many corroded beasts as possible before trading them with the natives of this world. One of his reasons to enter a grade 1 world was for some useful resources. ¡®Since I don¡¯t have any use for the devil cores, I might as well trade with the natives for something good.¡¯ In the Beas, there were supreme innate elemental trees that would not only upgrade the level 9 talents to the peak level 9, but they could also mutate the talent. Hence, Leo felt there would be at least one natural resource in this world that he and his followers could use. ¡®If I can¡¯t make a trade with them, I will just store them for now and trade them when I meet any devil cultivators in the future.¡¯ Leo doesn¡¯t look down or hate someone just because they follow the path of the devil or demonic cultivation. As long as they don¡¯t mess with them, he won¡¯t bother them. Of course, if they have something he needs, Leo doesn¡¯t mind making the first move because the world is a ce that follows the rule ¡®Survival of the fittest. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ Soon, Leo shed the remaining corpses he brought into the [Secret Dimensional Space] and retrieved the devil cores before throwing them into his storage. ¡®Before I resume killing these corroded devil beasts, I should better check the newly generated mission.¡¯ Even if he didn¡¯t consume the corpse using [Absolute Devour], Leo still has a lot of energy to kill them as he could get the [Supreme Promote Points] from killing them. However, he wanted to check out the mission that the system had generated a few moments ago. ¡®Ding, Mission Name and Objective: Enter the Gateway. Mission reward: A random level 9 talent will be upgraded to supreme ss. Time Limit: 12 hours. ¡®Huh? Isn¡¯t that a little too generous a reward?¡¯ Leo was confused that the system was generous to give such a valuable reward just for entering the gateway. ¡®I think there might be hidden dangers here.¡¯ That¡¯s the only thing Leo thought, and it was his habit to be careful whenever he sensed something was wrong. ¡®Since I have to kill them, I can¡¯t waste my time on retrieving the devil cores. I think I need an assistant to retrieve them.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ [Call of the Undead] ¡®Ancient Goliath King, retrieve the devil cores from the corpse.¡¯ ¡®Metal-wed vulture, protect the Ancient Goliath King at all times.¡¯ The moment he walked out of the [Secret Dimensional Space], Leo activated his supreme-grade talent and summoned two undead beings, and gave them the orders. ¡°Y¡­.e¡­.s¡­..Mas¡­.ter.¡± The Ancient Goliath King replied to Leo before retrieving the devil cores under the protection of the Metal-wed vulture. ¡®Interesting.¡¯ Leo was not surprised by the sudden change in the Ancient Goliath King and thought, ¡®I am waiting to see how sentient he would be.¡¯ [War God¡¯s Battle Axe¡¯s Special Effect] He didn¡¯t hesitate to activate the special effect of his war god¡¯s battle axe that couldpletely ignore the defense of his opponents who had the strength of level 3 supreme rank or below. ¡®Ding, The host killed eight level 1 supreme-ranked corroded beast beasts and gained eight [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host killed ten level 1 supreme-ranked corroded beast beasts and gained ten [Supreme Promote Points]. . . . . . ¡®Ding, The host killed ten level 2 supreme-ranked corroded beast beasts and gained twenty [Supreme Promote Points]. Soon, Leo started killing the devil beasts one after another as though they were cabbages because of the special effect All it took him was a single strike from his war god¡¯s battle axe. ¡®I only need to climb half a mountain to get to that gate.¡¯ Leo was not killing the corroded devil beasts mindlessly; instead, he was clearing a path towards the mountain top where the red-coloured gateway was. During thest one hour, Leo had already climbed half away onto the mountain and killed more than 5000 corroded devil beasts. ¡®Huf¡­Huf¡­I can do it.¡¯ Since his talent [Absolute Devour] was useless, Leo could not replenish his energy; however, he didn¡¯t bother to take a break and continue to kill the iing beasts. After another one and half an hour, ¡°Finally, I can enter the gate.¡± Leo tried to enter the gate with a slightly tired but excited look; however, he was stopped by a huge corroded devil beast. ¡®A level 6 supreme-ranked corroded devil beast?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (454 / 500). Chapter 275 Powerful Existence Just as he was about to enter the red gate, a huge corroded devil beast appeared between him and the red gate. ¡®A level 6 supreme-ranked corroded devil beast?¡¯ It was at least ten times bigger than the corroded devil beasts that Leo killed until now. It has two long horns and sharp teeth, and the saliva dripping from its mouth looks acidic as it corroded even the ground. ¡®Roar¡¯ As Leo was observing it, the colossal devil beast roared at him before rushing madly at him. ¡®So, you can¡¯t talk either.¡¯ So far, not a single devil beast spoke anything, and they all did only one thing: it was to kill him as though they were possessed. It was the same with this colossal devil beast. It madly rushed at him. ¡®Even though I can fight it and try to kill it, I ran out of my energy in killing all the devil beasts. Hence, I will sit this one out.¡¯ Looking at the madly rushing colossal devil beast, Leo shook his head and summoned back his two undead beings. ¡°I will try to fight you aftering back.¡± After saying those words, Leo entered the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ¡®Grr¡¯. The colossal devil beast stopped and checked its surroundings in confusion. It wondered where its prey had disappeared; however, it could not find him. ¡®Roar¡¯ The colossal devil beast let out an angry roar before walking back to the gate and copsing on the ground to rest. ¡®It¡¯s time to enter.¡¯ On the other hand, Leo heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the colossal devil beast didn¡¯t have any spatial attack or spirit attack that could pierce through the space. After seeing it sleep, Leo decided to enter the red gateway without wasting time. ¡®I wonder what is¡­.¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ While wondering what was inside the gateway, Leo tried to enter it; however, the moment he was about to see the foot on the other side of the gateway, he was sted out of his secret dimensional space by some mysterious force. At the same time, an angry voice resounded from the other side of the gateway, informing Leo to defeat the devil beast to enter the gateway. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo felt a shiver run down his back when he heard the voice. It was not because the voice said he had to defeat the level 6 supreme-ranked colossal devil beast; instead, he was unconsciously scared just to hear that. ¡®Who is that? Why is his voice alone making me shiver?¡¯ Leo wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought about the owner of the voice that resounded from the other side of the gateway. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ However, Leo didn¡¯t have the time to think about the owner of the powerful voice as the colossal corroded devil beast rushed towards him with its mouth wide open. ¡®Thankfully, my secret dimensional space was not destroyed earlier.¡¯ Even though some mysterious yet powerful energy sted him off, Leo was thankful that energy didn¡¯t destroy his secret dimensional space. Otherwise, he would be in a lot more trouble in this foreign world where he had spent 60 percent of his energy killing the corroded devil beasts earlier. [Space Maniption ¨C Secret Dimensional Space]. Before the colossal devil beast could reach him, Leo entered the secret dimensional space to think of his next move. ¡®How could a voice make me unconsciously shiver?¡¯ The first thing he thought after entering his secret dimensional space was to think about the owner of the voice that came from the other side of the gateway. ¡®Even though I only encountered a single level 9 supreme ranked hero until now, there is no way a peak supreme-ranked being could make me shiver just from his voice.¡¯ Leo continued, ¡®Moreover, after I be a supreme-ranked, my title [Supreme Killer] has been modified a little.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Title name: Supreme Killer. Effect: 1) Ten percent additional damage on the Supreme ranked beings. 2) The title holder can¡¯t be intimidated or suppressed by any supreme-ranked beings. Note: This title can be stacked with other titles. Previously, he was not intimidated by only low-level supreme-ranked beings; however, now, he could not be suppressed or intimidated by any supreme-ranked being. ¡®This only concludes that the owner of that powerful voice from before belongs to someone that transcended the Supreme rank and reached the rank behind that.¡¯ After thinking for a few moments, Leo concluded. ¡®Moreover, he said it is a Sacred Ground. I think it is simr to [Treasure Land]; I need to enter it at any cost.¡¯ Previously, Leo wanted to enter the gateway purely to satisfy his curiosity and toplete the mission; however, after learning that there was an existence that transcended the supreme rank, he became determined to enter it. ¡®Since that powerful existence has said he could enter the gateway after defeating this colossal corroded devil beast, he might not harm me. Moreover, the system also didn¡¯t warn anything about that existence and asked me to enter it; maybe, it is not dangerous.¡¯ From the moment he received the system, it always warned him about the danger ahead of time. Even though he recently unlocked the ¡®Mission tab¡¯, the system had always warned him or given hints about the danger while generating the mission. Therefore, Leo was not worried that the powerful existence on the other side of the gateway would kill him after entering the gateway. ¡®Anyway, to enter the gateway, I have to kill these colossal corroded devil beasts.¡¯ Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the powerful existence on the other side of the gateway and looked at the colossal devil beast that went back to its sleep in front of the gate. ¡®Even though I killed more than 10000 supreme ranked corroded devil beasts, I didn¡¯t unlock any title; otherwise, it would have been a piece of cake for me to take care of that colossal beast. But, it looks like 10000 is not enough.¡¯ Leo thought there should have been more level 1 to 3 supreme-ranked devil beasts. By killing them, Leo would have unlocked a title simr to [Spider Killer], [Bull Executioneer] and [Serpent yer]. ¡®Anyway, I have to do something and kill it. I am running out of time.¡¯ Leo started racking his brain toe up with a good n to defeat the colossal corroded devil beast. ¡®Ding, The remaining time toplete the mission: Nine hours. ¡®Ding, The remaining time to stay in this world: 20 hours. He only had nine hours toplete the mission of entering the gateway, and Leo felt it would not be a good sign to enter after that nine hours because the system must have a reason for setting a deadline of only 12 hours for the mission when he could stay in this world for 24 hours. ¡®I think I have to fight it head-on and exchange a few moves to know how strong its defence is and what its weakness is.¡¯ He needed some rough estimation of the colossal devil beast¡¯s defence and weakness toe up with a n. Therefore, he decided to fight it for some time. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s [Arcane Silver] is upgraded to low-level supreme grade. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s new system is sessfully unlocked. Please check it. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (461 / 500). Chapter 276 [Bonus chapter] Weapon Eye As Leo was about to leave his secret dimensional space, he received two system notifications that stopped him in his tract. ¡®Finally, I have another supreme grade weapon and a new system ability.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he hurriedly checked the information on the upgraded weapon and the newly unlocked system ability. ¡®Ding, Weapon Name: Arcane Silver (Soul awakened). Grade: Supreme (Low-level). Effect: 500 percent increase in the battle prowess of the user. Weapon Skills: Absolute Pration, Artifact Eater, Silver sh. Special Skill: Weapon Eye Weapon Eye: Upon activation of the skill, the holder of the weapon could see the weak points of his targets for a few seconds. It had a cooldown of five minutes. Soul skill: Ancestor Serpent Manifestation. ¡®A special skill?¡¯ Leo was not surprised to see that Arcane Silver awakened a special skill; however, he was surprised at the fact that the awakened skill was the most useful weapon skill he had ever seen. ¡®If I can see the weak points of my targets, with my [Space Maniption], killing them would be a piece of cake.¡¯ Leo thought back to when he had to fight with his opponents to find their weaknesses and use that knowledge of their weaknesses before striking them down. If he were lucky, he would seed and kill his opponent; if he were unlucky, he would get caught and have to try his best to escape from his opponent.. ¡®Let¡¯s not talk about the past. I can take this corroded devil beast down with this new weapon skill.¡¯ Leo¡¯s confidence in killing the level 6 supreme-ranked devil beast increased greatly with the newly awakened weapon skill: Weapon Eye. ¡®New system ability.¡¯ He didn¡¯t rush to test his new weapon skill yet; instead, he checked the newly unlocked system ability information. ¡®Ding, Ability Name: Cultivation Swallowing Ability. Effect: The host can swallow the cultivation of the cultivators he killed to increase his cultivation. Cooldown: One month. More information: Just use it, and you will get a hold of it. ¡®What? I can even swallow the cultivation now?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised with the new system ability as he was not expecting that there would be such an ability. ¡®Before receiving the system, I didn¡¯t even know an ability to swallow others¡¯ talent existed. So, when I think about it, there is no need to be surprised with this new ability.¡¯ Soon, his surprise disappeared into thin air as he could not wait to try it out and learn more about it. There was not much exnation given about it, and Leo was obviously curious about it; however, there were no cultivators anywhere close to him now. ¡®I could wait and see how powerful and useful my newly unlocked system ability is.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo changed his weapon from the battle axe to the silver sword, ¡®It¡¯s time to test the new weapon skill of my [Arcane Silver].¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Roar¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have to make any noise because the moment he stepped out of his Secret Dimensional Space, the sleeping colossal corroded devil beast opened its eyes and roared at him. ¡°Stop roaring ande at me.¡± Leo tightened the grip around his sword and scoffed at the colossal devil beast. ¡®Roar¡¯ The colossal devil beast became furious when it saw a puny insect order it around. Hence, it roared even louder before rushing at him. ¡°It looks like you are not as mindless as I thought.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to dodge the iing colossal devil beast and remained in his ce. ¡®Roar¡¯ The colossal devil beast was confused yet again when it saw its prey was not fighting back and remained in his ce. Nevertheless, it didn¡¯t stop rushing toward him and even roared at him as though it was saying, ¡®Puny human, are you too scared to move your feet?¡¯ [Weapon Skill ¨C Weapon Eye] Leo activated the weapon skill when it was close to him, and soon, he saw a dozen small golden-coloured shining spots on the colossal devil beast. ¡®Are they all its weak points?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see around a dozen spots on the colossal devil beast and muttered, ¡®I think killing it will be much easier than I thought it is.¡¯ Finding the weakess of any opponent was like solving one problem; however, there was a much bigger problem after that, and it was to strike the weak point. And the reason why Leo felt it would be a lot easier to kill the colossal devil beast was that there were around a dozen weak spots on its body. ¡®An opponent might guard his weak points; however, the colossal devil beast has a dozen weak points, and it would be impossible for it to guard all its weak points.¡¯ [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] Before the colossal devil beast could reach him, Leo revealed a cold smile as he teleported closer to one of its weak points on its legs. ¡®sh¡¯ [Space Maniption ¨C Teleportation] ¡®sh¡¯ . . . Leo didn¡¯t stop there as he continued to cut one weak spot after another, leaving a small scar on the shining spot. ¡®Roar¡¯ Seeing Leo teleport, again and again, to make a small cut on its body, the colossal devil beast became furious and tried to catch him. However, Leo¡¯s proficiency in teleportation was top-notch. It made it impossible for the colossal devil beast to guess his next teleportation location, much less to catch him. So, all it could do right now was roar at Leo. Even though the colossal devil beast was a level 6 supreme-ranked beast, Leo could make a small cut on it; however, it was not enough to kill it yet. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After making 12 small cuts on the colossal devil beast, Leo teleported some distance away. ¡®The shining spots are disappearing. It¡¯s good that I made small cuts, and I don¡¯t have to use the [Weapon Eye] on this colossal devil beast again.¡¯ Leo left small cuts on the colossal devil beast¡¯s body to remember the weak spots. Even though he didn¡¯t make huge cuts on the devil beast, they were visible even from 100 meters. So, he felt it was worth the trouble. ¡°Now, all I have to do is farm my special attacking skills on this colossal devil beast.¡± The Arcane Silver in Leo¡¯s hands disappeared, and a cold smile appeared on his face. ¡®Roar¡¯ On the other hand, the colossal corroded devil beast¡¯s pent-up anger shot up to the next level as it madly rushed at him. ¡®Huh? Did its body grow just now?¡¯ Leo felt the size of the colossal devil beast increase while it was rushing to him. ¡®I think I have to kill this colossal devil beast as soon as possible.¡¯ He could tell it had definitely increased its size a little. Therefore, Leo felt it was better to kill the colossal devil beast as soon as possible. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Focused st] A huge fireball appeared in Leo¡¯s hand as he waited until the colossal devil beast came close to him. ¡®Boom¡¯ Leo threw the fireball at it when it was less than 10 meters away from him before moving away from its path. [Call of the Lightning ¨C Lightning descent] [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] [Tri-coloured Poison Tornado].

Chapter 277 Fighting the Colossal Devil Beast (1) [Call of the Lightning] ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Dozens of lightning boltsnded precisely on the weak spots that Leo had marked with his sword. [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] The ground below Leo and the colossal devil beast turned red, and with each step the devil beast moved, there was an explosion, causing some damage. That¡¯s not it! Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he went all out and used a peak level 9 talent like [Mighty Combustion]. [Tri-coloured Poison Tornado] ¡®sh¡¯ A dozen huge tornadoes appeared in the fire field and tried to do as much damage as possible to the marks left by Leo. ¡®Roar¡¯ However, even after using all his powerful talents, Leo could do much damage to the colossal devil beast, which shook its body a little before roaring at him. ¡®Thud¡¯ As usual, after roaring, it rushed towards him. ¡°As expected, even my powerful attacks could not do much damage.¡± Leo was not expecting the colossal devil beast to copse on the ground after using all his powerful talents because his goal was something else. ¡®The cuts I left on its body opened a little more after using a round of my powerful talents. I just have to repeat the process and create more injuries on those spots.¡¯ To Leo¡¯s surprise, the colossal devil beast never bothered to guard its weak points and even allowed Leo to attack them as though it didn¡¯t care much about it. ¡®Or is it looking down on me?¡¯. Leo even doubted that the colossal devil beast was looking down on him. However, he rejected that thought because Leo could tell that the colossal devil beast was just a mindless beast that won¡¯t stop until it killed him. ¡®The only good thing about this colossal devil beast was, it can¡¯t use any long-range skills.¡¯ If that colossal devil beast had long-range skills, there was no way for him to do what he had done to the devil beast so far. ¡®I think using my talents to do damage is not as useful as I thought it was.¡¯ Only two of the four talents he used to attack the colossal devil beast were peak level 9, and they were waiting for him toplete the upgrade requirements to be supreme-ss talents. As for the remaining two talents, they were only level 8. Since the colossal devil beast had the strength of a level 6 supreme-ranked, there was no way for Leo to do some real damage with these level 8 and level 9 talents. ¡®No matter how special those talents were, the gap between my talents and the colossal devil beast was huge.¡¯ Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®However, I can still do some damage with my war god¡¯s battle axe.¡¯ Even though both the Arcane Silver and the War God¡¯s battle axe were low-level supreme-grade weapons, the war god¡¯s battle axe has more destructive power. Moreover, Leo had the talent [Battle-axe¡¯s mastery], which increased his attack power, even more when wielding the war god¡¯s battle axe. Therefore, Leo decided to use the war god¡¯s battle axe and focus on dealing as much damage as possible to the weak spots of the colossal devil beast. ¡®War God¡¯s battle axe,e out.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ With a call, the huge ck-coloured battle axe appeared in Leo¡¯s hands as he started nning his attacks on the colossal devil beast. ¡®Ding, The potential for the talent [Call of the Lightning] has increased by one percent. ¡®Ding, The potential for talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has increased by one percent. However, just as he was about to start working on his attacks, Leo received a couple of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him. ¡®What? One percent increase in potential?¡¯ Even though Leo knew that the potential would increase after each use of the talent, it would be pitiful that the system didn¡¯t bother to notify him regarding that. However, all of a sudden, two of his level 8 talents received a one percent increment in their potential, which waspletely out of his expectations. ¡®Ding, The reasons for receiving such a high potential are: 1) The strength gap between the host¡¯s target and the host¡¯s level is huge. 2) The host¡¯s talentnded perfectly on the target. 3) The effect of the [Divine Comprehension Pill] is still active. Sensing Leo¡¯s surprise, the system gave a list of reasons for receiving a one percent potential increase in the talents. ¡®Whatever. I know what to do now.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo had a nice idea of what he had to do now. ¡®Since it gives me one percent of the potential increase, it will be bad not to utilize this opportunity.¡¯ How could Leo let the current opportunity go like that? Without wasting any time, he put his battle-axe away and started farming for the experience points for his talents. ¡®I think I can use this colossal devil beast to upgrade my [Talent Promoter] to level 8.¡¯ To upgrade the [Talent Promoter], Leo needed to upgrade two special talents from level 7 to level 9 without using advanced stones or fragments of the god stones and was required to follow the general method of upgrading the talent. [Call of the Lightning] and [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] are the two talents that he was focusing on upgrading to level 9, and he had sessfully upgraded to level 8 with around 10 percent potential in level 8. ¡®All I needed was an 80 percent increase in the potential for both of them. It¡¯s time to farm for the experience points.¡¯ [Call of the Lightning] [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] ¡®Ding, The potential for the talent [Call of the Lightning] has increased by one percent. ¡®Ding, The potential for talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has increased by one percent. [Call of the Lightning] . . . . Leo only focused on using these two talents, and he didn¡¯t even bother to use the [Space Maniption] to hide in the secret dimensional space. Because the rate at which he was spending the energy to use two special talents was much higher than the rate at which he was recovering. Therefore, Leo avoided using other talents and only used two talents that he wanted to upgrade to level 9. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Boom¡¯ The shes of lightning descended from the sky, and the fiery heat waves and explosions wereing from the ground. The colossal devil beast was bing furious as Leo kept on dodging its attacks, whereas his attacks were sessfullynding on it. However, other than roaring, it could only continue madly rushing at Leo, just like always. ¡¯12th time.¡¯ ¡¯13th time.¡¯ ¡¯14th time.¡¯ . . ¡¯50th time.¡¯ . . ¡¯75th time.¡¯ . . . ¡¯94th time.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t take any breaks as he always maintained a distance of 15-20 meters from the colossal devil beasts and used his two special talents repeatedly while keeping track of how many times he was using it. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Lightning] has sessfully upgraded to level 9. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has sessfully upgraded to level 9. ¡®Finally, they are done.¡¯ When he received those system notifications, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the colossal devil beast in front of him. ¡®Even after using my two level 8 talents, it still stands, but half of the cut I made earlier became so huge that I think I can kill it.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo summoned the war god¡¯s battle axe. **** No Gifts. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 500 Golden Tickets (491 / 500).

Since he had spent so much energy upgrading his special talents, Leo didn¡¯t want to waste time because his true goal was entering the gateway. ¡®If only I could consume the corpses of these devil beasts, it would have been a lot easier.¡¯ While saying that, Leo rushed at the colossal devil beast. ¡®Roar¡¯ After receiving back-to-back attacks from Leo 94 times on its weak spots, the colossal devil beast also became much weaker than before. Nevertheless, it still roared at him before rushing at him. ¡®It has be a lot slower than before. I think I can really defeat it.¡¯ [Weapon Skill ¨C Lacerating Strike] Leo tightened his grip around the war god¡¯s battle axe as he used one of the powerful weapon skills that the battle axe has. ¡®Aargh¡¯ ¡®sh¡¯. Since the colossal devil beast was much slower than before, Leo easily found enough time to use his full force to cut through one of the weak spots that already had a huge cut. ¡®Roar¡¯ The colossal devil beast roared in pain before falling to the ground with a ¡®Thud¡¯. ¡®Who would have thought I could kill a level 6 supreme ranked beast with level 8 talents?¡¯ Even though he gave the killing strike with his battle axe, Leo knew it would not have been easy for him to kill the colossal devil beast in a single strike. ¡®Anyway, spending one hour to kill the devil beast is worth it.¡¯ He upgraded two of his talents to level 9 and evenpleted the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter]. Moreover, he also learned the importance of having special talents. ¡®They are not called special talents without reason.¡¯ Using these special talents repeatedly, Leo could kill opponents with much higher strength. ¡®Ding, The host met the upgrade requirements for level 8 [Talent Promoter]. Do you want to upgrade it? ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements to level 8: 1) Upgrade a special talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (1/1). [Complete]. 2) Upgrade a normal talent or special talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (1/1). [Complete]. 3) Spend twenty million [Promote Points]. [The user has enough points]. Soon, Leo received a couple of system notifications; however, looking at them, he was not excited; instead, he frowned. ¡®Where is the kill notification for the colossal devil beast?¡¯ That¡¯s right! He was waiting for the kill notification of the colossal devil beast so that he could take the devil core inside it and enter the gateway. However, the system didn¡¯t send the notification. ¡®There is only one reason why I didn¡¯t get the system notification: this colossal devil beast has not met its end.¡¯ Leo hurriedly moved away from the colossal devil beast without thinking much, fearing its surprise attacks. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Growl¡¯ As he expected, the colossal devil beast was not dead yet, and it let out low growls as its body twitched violently. ¡®How can it still not be the devil? What is this beast exactly? Is it because of the corrosion?¡¯ Leo frowned, and soon, he saw the colossal devil beast be double its original, and its strength increased from level 6 to level 9 supreme rank. ¡®There is no way I can defeat it.¡¯ Looking at the colossal devil beasts, Leo only had a single thought in his head: he could not defeat it. It was not that Leo was giving up on fighting the colossal devil beast so easily; instead, he had already spent 95 percent of his energy. ¡®Fighting it anymore is useless. I think I have to give up on entering the gateway.¡¯ Looking at the huge red-coloured gateway, Leo bitterly shook his head. ¡®I wonder how strong the barrier of the gateway is. Did it be weaker after I defeated the level 6 supreme ranked devil beast?¡¯ Leo had already decided to give up on entering the gateway because there was no way for him to defeat the level 9 supreme-ranked colossal devil beast. However, he wondered whether there were any changes to the gateway when he defeated the level 6 supreme-ranked devil beast and wanted to try entering it onest time before leaving this ce. ¡®Even though I spent four hours here, it¡¯s not a waste of time because I was able to collect more than 15000 devil cores and even upgraded to special talents to level 9 andpleted the upgrade requirements.¡¯ Leo was consoling him regarding the gains he made after entering this world. ¡®Most importantly, I have more than 30000 [Supreme Promote Points]. I will have an easy time in upgrading the supreme-ranked talents in the future.¡¯ The [Supreme Promote Points] was the biggest gain he had made, and the supreme ranked devil beasts didn¡¯t have any long-range talents and skills, which made him think that these [Supreme Promote Points] were the easier points he had ever received. ¡®I hope the powerful existence from the other side of the gateway will not be furious.¡¯ As the colossal devil beast searched for him, Leo came out of the [Secret Dimensional Space] and tried to enter the gateway. ¡®Boom¡¯ However, just like before, Leo was sted away by the mysterious force. ¡®I guess the mysterious being on the other side doesn¡¯t like non-natives to enter his sacred ground.¡¯ Leo stood up from the ground and shook his head in disappointment. ¡®I think there were not many changes to the mysterious force or barrier stopping me from entering the gateway. It is time to leave.¡¯ Seeing that Leo was still not allowed to enter the gateway, Leo decided to leave this ce. ¡®I must find some ground on the other side of this ck-coloured sea.¡¯ [Golden Wyvern Wings] With that thought in mind, Leo summoned his huge golden-colourd wings and was about to fly away when he heard the powerful voice from before. The powerful beings from before said the same words as though it was automated. ¡®Sigh¡­it looks like I am not fated to enter the gateway.¡¯ Since there was no penalty for notpleting the mission, Leo didn¡¯t mind giving up on the mission. ¡®If only this was a human world, I would have been considered a native.¡¯ Since Arlo became the native of his human world despiteing from another human world, Leo thought it would have been nice if the grade 1 world was a human world. If Leo was a native, there was no need for him to defeat the colossal devil beast to enter the Sacred Grounds. ¡®Wait a second¡­why am I only focused on entering the gateway? Why didn¡¯t I think of this much sooner?¡¯ Just as Leo flew into the air, he suddenly thought of something that gave him hope. **** zing_1NS4N1TY, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 550 Golden Tickets (500 / 550).

This was the idea that Leo got when he was about to fly away. Since his Goliath might be an undead being, it still belongs to the Goliath race, and what¡¯s more, it has be sentient recently. ¡°Yes, master.¡± The undead Goliath nodded and walked into the gate without any issue. ¡®It really worked.¡¯ Seeing that his undead summon had sessfully entered the gateway, Leo became excited and thought, ¡®I wonder whether it counts as thepletion of the mission.¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t enter the gateway, it was his undead summon who entered. So, Leo wondered whether it could be considered as thepletion of the mission. ¡®Ding, It is not considered as thepletion of the mission. The host has to enter the gateway personally. ¡®It looks like only my undead Goliath could meet the powerful existence on the other side of the Gateway.¡¯ Leo looked at the colossal devil beast that was madly rushing towards him just like always; however, he didn¡¯t bother to fight it and entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] to take some rest. ¡­.. On the other side of the gateway, The environment on the other side of the gateway waspletely different from what it was outside. It was filled with a devilish aura, and the sky was blood red as though it was dyed with blood from countless beings. The Ancient Goliath King followed Leo¡¯s orders, followed the single pathway, and soon reached a tower with three floors. ¡®To..wer¡¯ Even though the Ancient Goliath King gained sentience, it was still not enough for him to understand everything. The Ancient Goliath King muttered to himself, looking at the huge tower with a face full of confusion. ¡®Tower?¡¯ Leo, who was waiting for some kind of response from the Ancient Goliath King, raised his brows. Even though he could not see what the Ancient Goliath King was seeing inside the so-called sacred ground, Leo could maintain the connection with him so that he could talk to his undead summon. ¡®Try entering it.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t know what kind of tower the Goliath had encountered; however, he was not worried much about Goliath¡¯s death. It was because after Goliath received sentience, Leo could revive it even after its death after one day. Of course, every time it revives, its strength decreases. ¡®Yes, master.¡¯ Goliath received themand from Leo, searched for the tower¡¯s entrance, and tried to open the door. However, even with his strength, Goliath could not push it open. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just when it was about to ask for help from Leo on opening the door, a projection appeared before him that unconsciously made Goliath enter into a defensive stance. The projection belongs to a muscr goliath whose skin was blood-red as though he had been soaking in a pool of blood for years. The projection of the red goliath spoke to Goliath with a loving look in his eyes. ¡°You¡­your¡­.sac¡­red¡­.gr¡­ound?¡± Goliath gained sentience a few days back and could not speak properly. So, he stuttered while speaking to the red goliath. The Blood Goliath was both proud and sad at the same time. He was proud to be very powerful; however, he was sad to leave behind his world and could not even protect it or help it with its world assessment. ¡®Blood Goliath? A fortuitous encounter that made a level 1 supreme ranked hero and cultivator be a god?¡¯ As the Blood Goliath was narrating his story to Leo¡¯s undead Goliath, Leo was patiently listening to it and soon, he was shocked to learn that he became a God overnight. ¡®What kind of fortuitous encounter could make someone into a God?¡¯ Leo was shocked; however, he continued to listen to the Blood Goliath to learn about the Sacred Ground. Pointing at the tower behind him, the Blood Goliath asked, ¡®Ask about Sacred Ground.¡¯ On the other hand, Leo was a little surprised to see that and gave orders to the Goliath to enter the tower; before that, he ordered him to ask about the Sacred Ground. ¡°Wh¡­at¡­.is¡­.sacred¡­.ground?¡± Goliath asked the Blood Goliath without wasting time. The blood goliath was surprised a bit and replied, If there were any other Goliath instead of the Ancient Goliath King, they would have been excited and jumped in joy; however, the Ancient Goliath King¡¯s sentience was not mature enough to understand those things yet. ¡®So, it is a ce that was filled with inheritances.¡¯ Finally, Leo learned about the Sacred Ground, and his interest in entering the Sacred Ground decreased by a lot. ¡®However, it would be quite beneficial for my Ancient Goliath King who gained sentience.¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo decided to guide the Ancient Goliath King on the sacred ground. Since his undead goliath could awaken new talents and learn cultivation techniques, Leo decided to help him inside the Sacred Ground. ¡®Enter the tower.¡¯ Soon, he started guiding the goliath, who asked the Blood Goliath if he was ready to enter the tower. ¡°Na¡­me?¡­.Gredor¡± Leo came up with a name on the spot for the Ancient Goliath King.

Since the Undead Goliath was a peak rank 9 monster hero and even partially awakened his bloodline, it was not an issue for the Undead Goliath to take care of the Devil Goliath, who only had the strength of a newly ascended rank 9. Soon, the rank 9 Devil Goliath¡¯s body turned into tiny light dots before the remnant spirit appeared from them and congratted the Undead Goliath. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the Undead Goliath teleported to the next hall, where two rank 9 Devil Goliaths rushed at him without wasting time. ¡°Two¡­rank 9¡­Devil¡­Goliaths.¡± The Undead Goliath muttered the number of his opponents before using his two hands to punch them to the ground. It only took a single punch per a rank 9 Devil Goliath to kill them and clear the hall. In the third hall of the first floor, Undead Goliath defeated four rank 9 Devil Goliaths; in the fourth hall, there were eight rank 9 Devil Goliaths. With the clearance of each hall, the number of rank 9 Devil Goliaths in the hall doubled. By the time the Undead Goliath reached the ninth hall, there were 256 rank 9 Devil Goliaths who were looking at the Undead Goliath with furious eyes. However, those 256 rank 9 Devil Goliaths didn¡¯t rush at the Undead Goliath; instead, they were waiting for the remnant spirit to disappear. As for the remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath, he was talking to the Undead Goliath. Every time the Undead Goliath cleared a hall, the remnant spirit was surprised at the Undead Goliath¡¯s battle prowess and liked him more and more for his calm andposed look. Since the Blood Devil Goliath liked the Undead Goliath more and more, he didn¡¯t want the Undead Goliath to die on the first floor because there were a total of 256 rank 9 Devil Cultivators. ¡°Me¡­.wants¡­.to¡­.fight.¡± However, the Undead Goliath didn¡¯t intend to take a break because, ording to the Blood Devil Goliath, the moment he took the break, the Undead Goliath¡¯s clearance rating would drop, resulting in a decrease in his reward. ¡®Since Gredor has yet to use any of his skills, he is still full of energy. It¡¯s better to take a break after thepletion of the floor.¡¯ Leo, who was guiding the Undead Goliath, silently thought in his head and ordered the Undead Goliath to continue fighting without taking any breaks. That¡¯s right! The Undead Goliath didn¡¯t even use his basic skill and used only normal punches. The Undead Goliath was not a normal Ancient Goliath; instead, he was the Ancient Goliath King and had the strength of peak rank 9. Hence, he could kill the normal rank 9 Devil Goliaths with a single punch. After saying those words, the Blood Devil Goliath disappeared from the hall, and the 256 rank 9 Devil Goliaths started rushing towards him. ¡®You can take care of them without using any of your skills, right?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t want the Undead Goliath to use his skills yet because using skills would consume a lot of energy, and Leo wanted his Undead Goliath to clear the second floor also. Therefore, he was more focused on clearing the floors with normal moves; instead of skills. Of course, if the Undead Goliath was not confident in achieving such a feat, Leo didn¡¯t mind the Undead Goliath using one or two of his skills to clear the floor. ¡®I¡­will¡­.use¡­.one¡­.skill¡­.only¡­once.¡¯ [Enchanced Arms] As soon as the Undead Goliath finished his words, his two long arms bulged and became three times the original size of his arms. ¡°Thud¡± He bashed on the ground, which created huge cracks on the floor, making the rushing rank 9 Devil Goliaths lose their bnce. Since each one of the Devil Goliath was at least five meters in height, they easily lost bnce, fell to the ground, and were close to each other, making it difficult to stand up from the ground so soon. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After creating an opportunity for himself, the Undead Goliath didn¡¯t waste any time and rushed into therge group and punched the Devil Goliaths in the ground with his bulged arms. Even without skill, the Undead Goliath could kill them in a single punch. Now, his punch power was three times more than his usual punch power. Therefore with each punch, the Undead Goliath easily killed them and created more and more cracks on the ground. ¡®Cleared¡¯ After killing all the Devil Goliaths, the Undead Goliath informed Leo of his achievement. ¡®Excellent.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t give the sentence to the Ancient Goliath King for nothing. It was the leader of a small portion of unclearednd. In that unclearednd, the Ancient Goliath King was the only rank 9 monster who became one of the kings of the unclearednd. Hence, he knew what the Ancient Goliath King was capable of and had great expectations from him. ¡®Now, there is only one hall left. You can easily clear it with your rich battle experience.¡¯ Leo knew he didn¡¯t have to guide the Ancient Goliath King regarding the fights. So, he didn¡¯t bother to say what the Undead Goliath had to do during the fight as he left it to the Undead Goliath himself. The remnant spirit was excited and continued, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as he finished his words, the Undead Goliath teleported to a new hall where 512 rank 9 Devil Goliaths were waiting for him in the distance, and a peak rank 9 Devil Goliath was standing in the front; obviously, it was the leader of the group. Chapter 281 Rewards from the Blood Devil Goliath The peak rank 9 Devil Goliath standing in front of 512 rank 9 Devil Goliath was wearing golden armour with golden gauntlets in both arms. Compared to the eyes of the 512 Devil Goliaths, the Golden Armoured Devil Goliath¡¯s eyes looked devil-like which could make those below the supreme rank shiver. After finishing his words, the remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath disappeared from the hall. ¡®So¡­.mysterious.¡¯ The more he experienced the world, the more the Undead Goliath learned, and when he heard the remnant spirit¡¯s words, he even muttered two words which showed he was bing more and more intelligent as the time passed. ¡°Surround him.¡± On the other hand, the golden armoured Goliath shouted out loud to his subordinates. ¡®Thud thud¡¯ Unlike the rank 9 Devil Goliaths from previous halls, these Devil Goliaths were not rushing at the Undead Goliath madly; instead, they moved in perfect synchronization with others and soon surrounded the Undead Goliath. ¡®What¡¯s happening over there?¡¯ Since Leo could not see whatever the Undead Goliath was seeing, he could not only ask about it. ¡®Army¡­leader¡­formation.¡¯ The Undead Goliath only said three words, and Leo instantly understood his meaning.. However, he didn¡¯t say anything as he had enough confidence in the Undead Goliath to clear the hall. ¡°Devil¡¯s formation, activate.¡± After his subordinates surrounded the Undead Goliath, the golden armoured Devil Goliath ordered to activate a formation. ¡®Argh¡¯ In the next second, the 512 rank 9 Devil Goliaths shouted, bit their fingers, and bled their blood on the ground. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Soon, the blood that dropped on the ground started shining, and from the top, it looked like a shining blood-red circle whose radius decreased with each passing second. ¡°It¡¯s over. Just admit your defeat before the circle touches you; otherwise, you will be dying in this hall¡­.keke.¡± The golden-armoured Devil Goliath chuckled at the confused Undead Goliath. ¡°I¡­.not¡­.admit¡­.defeat.¡± The Undead Goliath looked at the rank 9 Devil Goliath around him and unconsciously scoffed at the golden armoured Devil Goliath. ¡°This fool can¡¯t even speak properly and he is here to take the Blood Goliath God¡¯s inheritance. You will find out what a wishful dream you have when the blood circle touches you¡­Keke.¡± The golden armoured Devil Goliath continued to chuckle as he signaled his army to bleed more blood. ¡®Swoiish¡¯ The rank 9 Devil Goliaths followed without hesitation as they poured more and more blood on the ground, which not only increased the size of the blood circle but also increased its speed. [Gigantization] As for the Undead Goliath, from his memories and experience in his body, he came up with a n to counter the iing blood circle. In the next second, the ten-meter Undead Goliath started growing in size and reached 50 meters in less than a second. In front of him, the golden armoured Devil Goliath and his army became dwarfs. ¡°Disturb¡­one¡­link¡­.and¡­formation¡­breaks.¡± Speaking in his broken words, the Undead Goliath stomped on the ground shaking the entire hall. However, the rank 9 devils in the distance were unaffected by the earthquakes because the ground below them remained stable. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Do you think it is that easy to move and disturb my army¡¯s formation? Dream on!¡± The golden armoured Devil Goliath chuckled and said, ¡°If you want to stop the formation, you have to kill me. No matter what you do, it won¡¯t affect my army.¡± Currently, the golden armoured Devil Goliath was on the other end of the huge hall, and there was no way the Undead Goliath could kill him without breaking out of the Devil¡¯s formation. However, to break the Devil¡¯s formation, the Undead Goliath had to kill the golden armoured Devil Goliath. They were directly connected with one another. ¡°Failed¡­failed¡­next move.¡± The Undead Goliath was not disappointed with his first failure as he thought about the next move from his rich battle experience inside his broken memories. ¡°Kill¡­.the¡­formation¡­.master.¡± Soon, he came up with a n from the golden armoured Devil Goliath¡¯s earlier words. ¡°You are going to kill me? But how? Keke.¡± The golden armoured Devil Goliath felt funny to hear the Undead Goliath¡¯s words and could not help but ask how. For a goliath, whether he was a Devil Goliath or an Ancient Goliath, they don¡¯t have long-range talents or skills as they mostly rely on hand-to-handbat skills, and their awakened ts would be short or mid-range. Since the golden armoured Devil Goliath was far from the Undead Goliath, he was curious about how the Undead Goliath would kill him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Cough¡¯ In the next second, the golden armoured Devil Goliath saw the Undead Goliath punch his jaws and coughed a mouthful of blood. ¡°What is that fool doing? He couldn¡¯t wait to die so badly that he was beating himself up?¡± The golden armoured Devil Goliath could not help but raise his brows for a moment before going back to mocking the Undead Goliath. ¡°Just wait for 10 seconds and you will¡­.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ Before he could finish his words, the golden armoured Devil Goliath¡¯s body turned into a meat paste. Then, of course, it died without knowing how he died. ¡®Swiish¡¯ As for the iing blood circle, without the formation master, it disappeared into thin air, and the 512 rank 9 devil goliaths fell to the ground. Soon, they started turning into tiny light dots before the remnant spirit of the Blood Goliath appeared in the hall. With an exciting look, the Blood Devil Goliath congratted the Undead Goliath before starting praising him. Since the Undead Goliath cleared the first nine halls on the first floor with a single punch for one rank 9 Devil Goliath, the Blood Devil Goliath was looking forward to the Undead Goliath¡¯s performance. ¡°My¡­teeth¡­are¡­sharp¡­and¡­.strong.¡± Soon, hemented on the Undead Goliath¡¯s unique thinking, gave him a good clearance rating, and even promised to give the highest possible reward to the Undead Goliath. ¡®What? He used his tooth to break the formation?¡¯ Outside the gateway, Leo was surprised to learn about the Undead Goliath¡¯s achievements. ¡®Even I might not have thought of such a method to clear the hall.¡¯ Leo muttered to himself before thinking, ¡®I wonder what reward he will give to my Undead Goliath.¡¯ The remnant spirit flew close to the Undead Goliath, pressed his index finger on his forehead, and transferred all the information about his cultivation technique. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 600 Golden Tickets (553 / 600). Chapter 282 [Bonus chapter] Final Boss: Blood Goliath ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s sentient undead summon received two rewards from a powerful existence. ¡®Ding, Awakening the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline in the host¡¯s body. Partially awakened. ¡®Ding, A new cultivation technique has been added to the host¡¯s [Cultivator¡¯s Interface]. As Leo was waiting for the Undead Goliath to inform him what rewards he gained from the Blood Devil Goliath, he received a series of system notifications. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo was shocked by the system notifications that appeared and muttered, ¡®I will get rewards received by my undead summons?¡¯ It was the first time that such a thing had happened. So, of course, he was surprised. Nevertheless, he was excited about getting his first bloodline. What¡¯s more, he even received a new cultivation technique. ¡®Ding, Bloodline Name: Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline. Status: Partially awakened. Effect: Upon activation, the user¡¯s strength temporarily increases by five times for five minutes. Cooldown: One hour. Note: 1) The bloodline can be activated only when it is fully awakened. 2) No talents or skills can be used when this bloodline is activated.. ¡®What? It¡¯s increased my strength by five times?¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first time seeing the effect of the bloodline. Hence, he was surprised that it could increase his strength by five times. ¡®Even though five minutes is less, I would kill a high-ranked opponent within that time with my Silver Sword or the Battle-axe.¡¯ He could not use the talents or skills; however, he could use the weapons and their skills without any problem since they were external boosts for a Hero or a Cultivator. ¡®I wonder how I canpletely awaken my bloodline?¡¯ Since it was only awakened partially, Leo could not activate the bloodline. Therefore, he wondered about how to activate it. He was hoping for the system to answer his question; however, it remained silent, which only meant one thing: The system wanted the host to find a way to awaken his bloodline on his own fully. ¡®Let¡¯s see how long it will take for me to awaken the bloodline fully.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking much about the bloodline and looked at the cultivation technique. ¡®It is not meant for humans. So, there is no need to waste my time on it.¡¯ The cultivation technique was specially made for the Devil Goliaths, and even though Gredor was not a Devil Goliath, he could cultivate it since he belongs to the Goliath Race. ¡­.. In the Goliath Tower, The Blood Devil Goliath informed the Undead Goliath, who nodded in understanding. Even though the Undead Goliath didn¡¯t spend much energy using the skills, he broke his jaws to get his teeth to attack the golden armoured Devil Goliath. Therefore, he requested a break to stabilize his injury before challenging the second floor. Hearing the Undead Goliath¡¯s words, the remnant spirit remembered something and snapped his fingers. ¡®Swiish¡¯ In the next second, the broken jaws of the Undead Goliath were magically healed. The Blood Devil Goliath revealed a slight smile and asked, ¡°I will¡­..challenge.¡± Since he was back to his peak strength, the Undead Goliath didn¡¯t bother to take a break and replied that he would continue challenging the second floor. While pointing at a bronze-skinned Devil Goliath in the distance, the Blood Goliath informs the hall clearance condition before disappearing. ¡°Why do you look like that?¡± The Bronze Devil Goliath slowly walked close to the Undead Goliath and scoffed at him. ¡°I am a level 1 supreme-ranked Bronze Devil Goliath, you can¡¯t¡­¡± [Enchanced Arms] ¡®Boom¡¯ Before the Bronze Devil Goliath could finish his words, the Undead Goliath sent him to the ground. [Rapid Punch] Since the other party was a supreme-ranked being, the Undead Goliath knew one punch was not enough to kill him. Hence, he used his skills back to back and killed the Bronze Devil Goliath in a few minutes. Even though Blood Goliath was shocked, he didn¡¯t say anything and intentionally increased the difficulty for the next two halls. However, without any surprise, the Undead Goliath defeated the Silver Devil Goliath and the Gold Devil Goliath in the second and third halls, just like how he defeated the Bronze Devil Goliath. ¡°Attack¡­.is¡­.the¡­.best¡­.defence.¡± This was what the Undead Goliath followed. The Blood Goliath appeared out of nowhere and replenished the Undead Goliath¡¯s energy. The Undead Goliath¡¯s performance waspletely out of his expectations, and he didn¡¯t know what to reward him. Therefore, he decided to wait and see whether the Undead Goliath could clear the final hall or not. The Blood Devil Goliath felt that the Undead Goliath had a very high chance of clearing the third floor. Hence, he decided to give all the rewards to the Undead Goliath if he cleared the Goliath Tower. Of course, the Undead Goliath didn¡¯t know what the Blood Goliath was thinking and prepared for thest hall on thest floor of the Goliath Tower. After finishing his words, the Blood Devil Goliath disappeared from the hall just like always. ¡°Blood¡­.Devil¡­.Goliath?¡± After the remnant spirit disappeared, the Undead Goliath looked at his opponent and muttered to himself. That¡¯s right! The final boss of the Goliath Tower was none other than the Blood Devil Goliath himself. [Blood Clones] The Blood Goliath bit his finger, and from each blood drop, he summoned a blood clone that looked just like him. In total, he used ten blood drops and created ten 10-meter Blood Goliaths who rushed toward the Undead Goliath. [Gigantization] The Undead Goliath was calm and used his skill to be a 50-meter tall giant and killed the ten blood clones that rushed toward him. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, all the blood clones had the strength of a level 1 supreme-ranked hero; therefore, they easily dodged his attacks. ¡°Retreat¡± The Blood Goliath ordered his clones to retreat before activating his other talent [Blood Clones Merging] Soon, the 10 Blood Clones merged into the Blood Goliath and became a single entity that was around 100 meters, which was double the size of the Undead Goliath. ¡®Puchi¡¯ The Undead Goliath was a toddler in front of the Blood Goliath. So it was easy for the Blood Goliath to kick into the distance. The remnant spirit cursed himself for setting very high standards for his inheritor. The remnant spirit didn¡¯t have the power to help the undead Goliath anymore because he had already helped whatever he could. He had decreased the strength of the final boss from level 5 to level 1 supreme being; however, it was still very high for a rank 9 Goliath like Gredor. If the Blood Goliath were a normal level 1 supreme-ranked being, the Undead Goliath would have easily defeated; however, the Blood Goliath was not normal. He belongs to the highest ss in the Goliath race, much above the Golden Devil Goliath. Therefore, it would be impossible for Gredor to defeat him. The remnant spirit cursed himself and thought, ¡­. ¡®Master¡­.help¡­me.¡¯ The Undead Goliath looked at the huge Blood Goliath in the distance as his eyes turned red as he asked Leo for help. He was unwilling to give up because his master ordered him to clear the tower at any cost, and he had toplete it. ¡®Stronger¡­I¡­.want¡­.to¡­be¡­stronger.¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 600 Golden Tickets (556 / 600). Chapter 283 Undying Goliath A few minutes back, ¡®What the hell! What is the use of the rewards from clearing the first floor if you can¡¯t activate them?¡¯ Outside the gateway, Leo, hiding in the secret dimensional space, cursed the remnant spirit of the Goliath Tower. For clearing all the halls on the first floor, the Undead Goliath received two rewards. One was the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline which was sealed by the remnant spirit, and it would be activated when the Undead Goliath walks out of the Goliath Tower. And the second reward was the Ancient Devil Cultivation Technique that could be learned only when the Undead Goliath bes the supreme-ranked being. Those two rewards were useless if the participant died on the second or third floors. ¡®Since I can revive Gredor, I don¡¯t think he would lose those rewards; however, for other participants, it would be useless if they failed to clear the Goliath Tower.¡¯ Leo felt the Blood Goliath¡¯s expectation of his inheritor was so high that it was almost impossible for the young devil goliaths to obtain it. ¡®Huh? He is not giving the rewards for clearing the halls on the second floor?¡¯ Leo was already furious at the Blood Goliath for making it impossible for the Undead Goliath to use the bloodline or the cultivation technique. Now, he learned that the remnant spirit wanted to dy the rewards. ¡®Compared to the remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath, the War God¡¯s remnant spirit was many times better.¡¯ Leo wanted to rush into the Goliath Tower and beat the sh*t out of the Blood Devil Goliath for making such damned rules. However, Leo knew he could not do it since the real Blood Devil Goliath was not in the Goliath Tower, and it was only a remnant spirit.. Moreover, Leo knew he was not powerful enough to fight the Blood Devil Goliath, a God-level existence. ¡­. ¡®Master¡­.help¡­me.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo heard a weak voice in his head. ¡®This Blood Devil Goliath is¡­.¡¯ Leo cursed the Blood Devil Goliath while thinking of something to help the Undead Goliath that could make him stronger. ¡®I don¡¯t have anything that could strengthen or power up the undead on me. Even if I have something, there is no way I can enter¡­wait a second.¡¯ Suddenly, Leo thought of something, and in the next second, a small strong appeared in his hand. ¡®Ding, Do you want to upgrade your talent [Call of the Undead] to level 2 supreme ss using the Supreme Upgrade Stone? Soon, the system asked him whether he wanted to upgrade his talent. As of now, Leo knew only two ways of upgrading a talent. One was by fulfilling the upgrade requirements of the talent, and the second was by using the upgrade stones. Even though the [Call of the Undead] upgrade requirements were not hard and could be easilypleted, Leo didn¡¯t have the time as he wanted to see whether upgrading his talent would strengthen his undead summons or not. Therefore, he decided to use one of the two Supreme Upgrade Stones to upgrade that talent. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead] is upgraded to level 2 supreme ss. ¡®Ding, The host can bless sentience to his second undead creature. In no time, his talent upgraded to level 2 supreme ss and without wasting time, Leo transmitted his voice to the Undead Goliath. ¡®Can you feel any changes in your body?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t know whether it was useful, but doing something was better than nothing. Therefore, as soon as the talent was upgraded, he asked the Undead Goliath. ¡­. Inside the Goliath Tower, As soon as Leo upgraded his talent [Call of the Undead], the Undead Goliath¡¯s body emitted a white halo around its body. His external and internal injuries were healing at a rapid pace, and at the same time, his strength also increased. ¡®Kacha¡¯ Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the Undead Goliath¡¯s body and from that moment onward, the Undead Goliath was officially a supreme-ranked being. The remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath was excited and nearly cried to see the sudden breakthrough of the Undead Goliath. Of course, it was not a miracle or a heaven¡¯s blessing; instead, the Undead Goliath determined to clear the Goliath Tower along with the boost from the upgrade in Leo¡¯s [Call of the Undead]. Another reason was that the Undead Goliath was at peak rank 9 for a while now, and it was not surprising for the Undead Goliath to achieve a breakthrough under his current situation. ¡­.. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host¡¯s Undead Goliath for not giving up on the fight and bing a supreme-ranked being. ¡®Ding, He will be rewarded with a title [Undying Goliath]. ¡®Ding, His [Ancient Goliath King¡¯s Bloodline] is fully awakened, and his [Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline] is unsealed. As the Undead Goliath finished his breakthrough into the supreme rank, Leo received a series of system notifications that made him pleasantly surprised. ¡®What? Even my undead summons could receive titles?¡¯ Leo learned two new things today. One, he could receive the same rewards that his sentient undead summons receives, and the second one was that his undead summons could receive their own title. ¡®What¡¯s more, his first bloodline is fully awakened, and the bloodline sealed by the Blood Devil Goliath was unsealed. Now, it will be a piece of cake for Gredor to kill the final boss.¡¯ Leo checked the information on the two bloodlines and the title, and he stopped worrying about the Undead Goliath any longer because that¡¯s how powerful his Undead Goliath had be after the breakthrough into the supreme rank. ¡®Ding, Title Name: Undying Goliath (Passive). Effect: When the user is thoroughly defeated by his opponent or a group of opponents, the title will be triggered automatically. It temporarily makes the Goliath immune to all physical and energy attacks while increasing his physical strength by ten times. Note: At supreme rank, the Goliath can maintain this state for one minute. Cooldown: One day. ¡®Ding, Bloodline Name: Ancient Goliath King. Effect: The strength of all Goliaths will be suppressed by 25 percent when the bloodline is activated. ¡®Ding, Bloodline Name: Blood Devil Goliath. Effect: When activated, the Goliath¡¯s blood will burn and increase the user¡¯s physical strength by ten times for ten minutes. Note: The Bloodlines can¡¯t be stacked together. Even though he had already checked the information, Leo could not help but go through the information of two bloodlines and the title for the second time. ¡®Why is the effect of the Blood Devil Goliath Bloodline of my Undead Goliath different from my bloodline?¡¯ Even though Leo¡¯s Blood Devil Goliath Bloodline was not fully awakened yet, the system had already shown him the effect of the bloodline when it was fully awakened. ¡®I think that bloodline is meant for Goliath and since I am a human, the effect has been reduced by 50 percent.¡¯ That was the only conclusion Leo came up with after thinking for a moment. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s not think about the partially awakened bloodline.¡¯ Leo shook his head and thought, ¡®I wonder, what type of rewards my Undead Goliath will get after clearing the Goliath Tower? I am also curious whether I can receive the rewards again like before?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (620 / 700). Chapter 284 Evolution and Mutation Leo was expecting the rewards from clearing the Goliath Tower soon because his Undead Goliath would have no problem defeating his opponent after bing the Supreme ranked being. ¡°I¡­am¡­.stronger¡­now.¡± Inside the Goliath Tower, the 50-meter Undead Goliath started growing in size, and within a few seconds, it had already reached 100 meters, the same height as the Blood Goliath. [Rapid Punch] The Undead Goliath felt powerful and could not wait to test his newly gained strength. Hence, it didn¡¯t waste any time and gave rapid punches to the Blood Goliath. ¡®Puk¡¯ ¡®Puk¡¯ ¡®Kacha¡¯ The Blood Devil Goliath tried to block the iing rapid punches from the Undead Goliath; however, it was pushed back, and there was even a tiny bone-breaking sound. It was evident that the sound came from the Blood Goliath¡¯s elbows blocking the Undead Goliath¡¯s fists. ¡°Aargh¡± The Blood Goliath roared in pain as he became furious at the Undead Goliath. [Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline, activate] Without hesitation, the Blood Goliath activated his bloodline, and soon his entire body had a blood luster.. His muscles bulged, and his eyes turned red as he stopped blocking the attacks and started attacking the Undead Goliath. The remnant spirit was shocked because the probability of the Blood Goliath activating its bloodline was so small that it was almost impossible to activate. Since the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s bloodline increases their physical strength by 10 times, it was almost impossible for the challenger to defeat it. Hence, he kept the probability of being very low. However, the Undead Goliath¡¯s rapid blow had made the Blod Goliath trigger his bloodline. Suddenly, the remnant spirit rubbed its eyes and saw that the Undead Goliath¡¯s body also had a blood luster around its body. The remnant spirit was shocked to see the Undead Goliath unseal the bloodline he had sealed earlier. Soon, the remnant spirit became excited as he could tell the Undead Goliath could clear the hall without any problem now that he activated the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Puk¡¯ Soon, the Undead Goliath¡¯s physical strength overwhelmed the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s strength. In less than two minutes, the Blood Devil Goliath was turned into mincemeat under the rapid punches of the Undead Goliath. Soon, the remnant spirit materialized in front of the Undead Goliath, who deactivated his bloodline and returned to his standard form around three meters high. The remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath had already praised the Undead Goliath so much earlier. Therefore, he didn¡¯t waste time by doing the same and asked whether he was willing to take his inheritance. ¡®Inhertinace¡­ept?¡¯ The Undead Goliath knew that his master could hear his inner thoughts. So, he asked about the inheritance. There was no way Leo would reject the inheritance from a God-level existence and urged the Undead Goliath to take it. Even though the Undead Goliath cleared the Goliath Tower, the Blood Devil Goliath could not leave his inheritance without any conditions. The remnant spirit stated his condition, and the Undead Goliath transmitted the exact words to Leo, making Leo frown. ¡®King of the Devil Goliath World?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t mind his Undead Goliath bing the King of the Devil Goliath World and fighting during the world assessment, which mighte in the future. However, what made him frown was since the Devil Goliath World was a grade 1 world, there should be many powerful Devil Goliaths. ¡®Are they willing to acknowledge him as their King that easily? What if they form aince and kill the Undead Goliath? Even though I can revive it, everytime I revive it, he will be weaker.¡¯ Many other things made Leo hesitate to give his order to the Undead Goliath to ept the inheritance. The remnant spirit seemed to guess why the Undead Goliath could not agree to his condition. So, he informed the Undead Goliath about it. ¡®What? Legend rank? Is that the rank behind the Supreme rank?¡¯ Leo was surprised and thought, ¡®No wonder, the Blood Goliath has set such unfair rules for his Goliath Tower.¡¯ Finally, Leo understood why the Blood Devil Goliath sealed the bloodline he rewarded to the Undead Goliath because he wanted the challenger to clear his Goliath Tower with their own abilities rather than the rewards they received from him. ¡®Gredor, ept it.¡¯ If the Undead Goliath bes a Legend rank being and owns a Grade 1 world like the Devil Goliath world, Leo would get so many benefits. ¡®I don¡¯t know when this world¡¯s next world assessment starts, but it will not any time soon.¡¯ Leo silently thought, ¡®If I can use the Devil Goliaths of this word, the human world can easily pass the world assessment.¡¯ ording to his talent [World Traveler], if he gained enough reputation, he could enter that world again and again. If the King of this world is his subordinate, it would be hard not to get any reputation. ¡­ ¡°I¡­am¡­willing.¡± Inside the Goliath Tower, the Undead Goliath nodded after receiving Leo¡¯s orders. The remnant spirit of the Blood Devil Goliath became excited as he informed a few more things. As soon as he finished his exnation, the remnant spirit flew closer to the Undead Goliath and touched the Undead Goliath¡¯s forehead with his index finger. Soon, the Undead Goliath¡¯s entire body shone with blood-red light, and at the same time, the physical appearance of the Undead Goliath also started changing at a slow but steady pace. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead summon has received the inheritance from a God-level entity, ¡®Blood Devil Goliath¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead summon is undergoing an Evolution and Mutation. It will take six hours. Please wait patiently. ¡®What? Evolution and Mutation at the same time?¡¯ Leo was not surprised by the first system notification; however, he was surprised with the second notification. ¡®I could not wait to see how powerful Gredor would be after the evolution and mutation.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and felt it was totally worth it to enter this world. ¡®Wait a second¡­since I have the bloodline now, can I enter the gateway?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (628 / 700).

Even though his Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Bloodline only awakened partially, Leo thought he might be allowed to enter the Sacred Ground. ¡®Even if I can¡¯t enter the Sacred Ground, I can ask Gredor to kill the Colossal Devil Beast. Since Gredor is my undead summon, it will be considered as I killed it, right?¡¯ Leo had his assumptions and decided to give it a try. ¡­. Inside the Goliath Tower, After transferring his inheritance, the remnant spirit¡¯s body wavered a little and turned into tiny light particles before disappearing into thin air. Those were the final words left behind by the remnant spirit before he disappearedpletely. Along with him, the Goliath Tower also disappeared, leaving the shining Undead Goliath on the ground where the Goliath Tower was previously situated. ¡­. At the entrance of the Sacred Ground, ¡®Phew¡­the force is no longer stopping me.¡¯. Unlike his previous attempts, the mysterious force was no longer stopping Leo from entering the Sacred Ground, making him heave a sigh of relief. ¡®Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the mission [Enter the Gateway]. ¡®Ding, A random level 9 talent will be upgraded to supreme ss. ¡®Finally, Ipleted the mission. I wonder which will be upgraded.¡¯ Soon, Leo was curious about which talent would be upgraded to the supreme ss. Even though he was hoping for a special talent to upgrade to the supreme ss, he was not picky and would be content with any talent as long as it was upgraded to the supreme ss. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s special talent [Nether Domain] has sessfully upgraded to the supreme ss. It only took a few moments before the system picked a random level 9 talent and upgraded it to the supreme ss. ¡®[Nether Domain]? Excellent.¡¯ If given a chance, he would definitely not pick the [Nether Domain] because he had other special talents that he wanted to reach the supreme ss. Nevertheless, the [Nether Domain] was a good support-type talent. Moreover, it was a special talent. ¡®Check¡¯ Without wasting time, Leo checked the changes in the talent. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Nether Domain. Grade: Level 1 supreme grade. Effect: Upon activating this talent, a one-kilometer area around the user will be covered with purple mist, and all the targets inside the mist will experience a decrease in their battle prowess. Note: At level 1 supreme grade, the targets will experience a 21 percent decrease in battle prowess. ¡®Huh? Even after upgrading to the supreme grade, it still has only one effect.¡¯ Leo frowned when he saw only one effect on his holographic screen. However, when he saw the percentage of suppression, Leo felt the talent was powerful. When the talent was at level 9, it could only decrease the battle prowess of his opponents by 9 percent; however, now, it has increased to 21 percent. Moreover, it is only at level 1 supreme grade as of now. ¡®I wonder how much percentage of battle prowess it will suppress when I upgrade it to level 9 supreme grade or level 1 legend grade?¡¯ Leo felt the talent [Nether Domain] was not as bad as he thought it was. If he could upgrade the talent to a very high level where it could decrease the battle prowess of his enemies by 90 percent or even higher, then no one would be his match. ¡®At that time, all I have to do is flick my fingers at their forehead to kill them.¡¯ Soon, Leo¡¯s focus shifted from the [Nether Domain] to the Sacred Ground with a blood-red sky. Finally, he could see what was inside the so-called Sacred Ground. There were a few small hut-like structures on both sides of the pathway. ¡®Swiish¡¯ However, just as he saw them, they started disappearing into tiny light dots and flew towards the Undead Goliath, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance. ¡®Huh? What¡¯s happening?¡¯ Leo was confused seeing the scene where more than a dozen hut-like structures in the Sacred Ground turn into light dots. ¡®Is it because Gredor received the entire inheritance of the Blood Devil Goliath?¡¯ After thinking for some time, Leo guessed the reason and slowly walked towards the Undead Goliath, who was covered in a blood-coloured luster. ¡®While hepletes his mutation and evolution, I will upgrade my talents.¡¯ Since there was nothing valuable inside the Sacred Ground, Leo didn¡¯t waste time searching for them. Instead, he decided to upgrade his talents or at least check for the upgrade requirements for some special talents to focus on in the future. ¡®After hepletes his mutation and evolution, there will still be 13 hours left for me to stay in this world. I think it will be more than enough to conquer this world.¡¯ Since the Ancient Goliath King would be a Legend ranked existence afterpleting his evolution and mutation, Leo knew it would be a piece of cake to take over the world. Once his summon takes over the world, he could use his [World Traveller] talent to enter this world again and again. ¡®Anyway, it¡¯s time to spend some [Promote Points] and [Supreme Promote Points].¡¯ Leo shook his head and upgraded, ¡®Upgrade Talent Promoter to level 8¡¯. ¡®Ding, The host met all the upgrade requirements. ¡®Ding, Deducting twenty million [Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Talent Promoter] is upgraded to level 8. ¡®I hope there is some special effect in the upgraded [Talent Promoter].¡¯ Since the [Talent Promoter] only had major changes when it was upgraded from basic to elite and from elite to advanced, Leo thought the chances of a level 8 [Talent Promoter] having a new effect were very low. However, Leo checked for the changes in the [Talent Promoter] as he never knew what kind of surprises he would receive. ¡®What? A new effect?¡¯ However, to his surprise, Leo saw a new effect in the interface. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Talent Promoter (Level 8). Talent Type: Super Special. Effects: 1) The host can upgrade all the talents and skills from level 1 to peak level 9 with [Promote Points]. 2) The host can upgrade all the talents and skills from peak level 9 to supreme grade with [Promote Points] + [Supreme Points] with other upgrade requirements. 3) The host can upgrade the supreme talents from level 1 to level 6 using [Supreme Promote Points] and other upgrade requirements. Note: The host can see the upgrade requirements for all talents and skills below the Legend Grade. ¡®Now, I can upgrade my skills and see through the upgrade requirements for talents below the Legend grade. Not bad.¡¯ Soon, Leo started using the [Promote Points] and [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade his skills and talents until they became empty. Time continued to pass, and six hours passed in a sh as Leo received the system notification. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s undead summon sessfully finished its evolution and mutation. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (630 / 700).

As Leo checked the upgrade requirements, he finally received the system notification he was waiting for. ¡°Master.¡± Before he could check the information, Leo heard the Undead Goliath greet him respectfully. ¡®What?¡¯ Leo turned his head to look at the Undead Goliath; however, he was shocked by theplete physical changes that happened to Gredor. He no longer looked like an undead summon; instead, he looked like how he used to look before Leo killed him. To be honest, Gredor looked more powerful and devilish, and because of the battle armour and the horned crown on his head, the Ancient Goliath King now looked majestic. ¡®Ding, Name: Gredor. Race: Goliath (sub-ss: Ancient Devil). Strength: Level 3 Legend Grade Devil. Bloodlines: Ancient Goliath King, Blood Devil Goliath. Talents: Gigantization, Body Hardening, Blood Armour, Strength Multiplier. Skills: Rapid Punches, Lightning Kick, Power Throw, Enhanced arms.. Cultivation: Level 1 Legend-grade Devil Goliath. Title: Undying Goliath. Note: 1) After the evolution and mutation, the Goliath is no longer an undead being; instead, it is a new ss in the Goliath race called ¡®Ancient Devil Goliath¡¯. 2) Even though it was not an undead being anymore, he could be revived by the summoner and brought back to life with a penalty. Soon, theplete information about Gredor appeared in front of Leo, making him greatly excited. ¡°Not only did you be a Legend grade hero, but you are also a Legend-grade cultivator. Congrats on your sessful evolution and mutation.¡± Leo congratted the Ancient Devil Goliath with a slight smile. ¡°Thank you, Master. You have sent me some mysterious energy at the right time that helped me be a Supreme-ranked Goliath. If not for that, I would not have cleared the final hall in the Goliath Tower.¡± Even though his strength had increased to the Legend rank, the Goliath was grateful to Leo. Leo gave him the sentience. He brought him here and even provided mysterious energy at the right time. Overall, the Ancient Devil Goliath was grateful to Leo. Of course, no matter how powerful the Ancient Devil Goliath was, Leo could kill him instantly since he was the one who raised the Ancient Devil Goliath from the ground. ¡°Other than strength and cultivation, why don¡¯t you check what you have received from the Blood Devil Goliath.¡± The point at the red-coloured ring on Goliath¡¯s finger, Leo reminded Gredor about it. Earlier, he saw the hut-like structures turn into light particles before entering the red-coloured ring. So, he was curious about the other things Gredor received from the inheritance. ¡°Oh. I will check them, Master.¡± Gredor nodded and started taking them one by one. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully evolving your undead into a living being. ¡®Ding, The host will be rewarded with a talent mutation for the [Call of the Undead]. ¡®Ding, Do you want to ept it? Suddenly, Leo received the system notifications in his head that werepletely out of his expectations. However, Leo was not the type to reject the rewards that were beneficial to him and epted them without thinking much. ¡®Ding, The mutation of the talent [Call of the Undead] has started. ¡®Ding, The mutation will take 24 hours. Please wait patiently. ¡®This trip to the Devil Goliath has brought me pleasant surprises.¡¯ During this trip, Leo has gained so much. He upgraded two level 8 talents to level 9, which helped him upgrade the [Talent Promoter]. He gained nearly 30000 [Supreme Promote Points], a partially awakened bloodline, and most importantly, his undead summon became a living summon and a Legend-grade being. As though it was not enough things to gain, his level 2 supreme-ranked talent [Call of the Undead] has started mutating. ¡®What?¡¯ As Leo felt that he had gained so much from his trip to the Devil Goliath World, he saw an item in Gredor¡¯s hand that froze his thoughts. It was because the first item that Gredor took out from the storage ring was none other than the God Stone. That¡¯s right! It was not a fragment of the God Stone but aplete God Stone. ¡°Master, I have two more of these stones.¡± Seeing how excited his Master was, Gredor took out two more ck-coloured stones, making Leo speechless. ¡®When did the God Stones be so easy to find?¡¯ This was the only thought in Leo¡¯s mind as he looked at the three ck-coloured stones in Gredor¡¯s hand. ¡®Ding, The system detected the God Stones in the host¡¯s hands. ¡®Ding, The host can upgrade any supreme grade talent by one level using one God Stone. Note: The system suggests the host upgrade the God Stone to upgrade only when a supreme grade talent is at level 8 supreme grade. ¡®Ding, The host can use two God Stones to upgrade the system to unlock new system abilities or upgrade the existing system abilities. . . . ¡®Ding, The host can use a God Stone to upgrade level 9 super special talents like [Talent Promoter] and [Absolute Devour] to supreme rank. The moment Leo took those three God Stones into his hands, the system continuously sent the system notifications, informing him about the various things he could do with them. ¡®As expected, the God Stone has many uses.¡¯ There were a ton of things Leo could upgrade with the God Stone; however, only a few things caught his eyes. ¡®I will upgrade the system.¡¯ Without any hesitation, Leo chose to upgrade the system because it would not only unlock a new ability and a new function, but it would also upgrade his existing system abilities. ¡®Ding, The host used two God Stones to upgrade the system. ¡®Ding, The upgrade will bepleted in a month; however, the host doesn¡¯t have to worry as I can provide all my services during my upgrade. Note: One month is based on the host¡¯s own world time. Soon, the two God Stones in Leo¡¯s hand disappeared, and only one God Stone remained. ¡®One month? It is within my expectations.¡¯ Leo was not surprised with the upgrade time; however, he was surprised that he could use all the features during the upgrade. ¡®Maybe, the system gained that ability during its second upgrade.¡¯ Leo looked at the third ck-coloured stone in his hand and thought, ¡®Should I upgrade the [Absolute Devour]?¡¯ Since he could upgrade the level 9 super special talents, the [Absolute Devour] met the conditions and wanted to try it. ¡®Let¡¯s do it. [Absolute Devour] has helped me awaken many talents; even if it didn¡¯t awaken aplete effect, its existing effect would be more powerful than the current effect, right?¡¯ Leo no longer hesitated as he used the third God Stone to upgrade his [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Ding, The host used a God Stone to upgrade a Super Special Talent [Absolute Devour] from level 9 to level 1 Supreme Grade Talent. ¡®Ding, The upgrade will take 24 hours of time. Please wait patiently. ¡®The upgrades are taking longer and longer as they be powerful.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t mind waiting for 24 hours since he didn¡¯t have any use for the [Absolute Devour] now. ¡°Master, there are some Devil Coins which were the same as Hero Coins, a few cultivation techniques useful for the Devil Cultivators.¡± After the three God Stones, there was nothing useful for Leo, making him a little disappointed; however, thinking back to his gains in the Devil Goliath¡¯s world, he stopped being greedy. ¡°Master, I think it is time for me to take control of this world.

You can go and take a rest now.¡± Gredor stopped the Colossal Devil Beast with a single palm and lightly pushed it to the ground. ¡®Kacha¡¯ The entire Colossal Devil Beast¡¯s body got crushed and turned into mincemeat before picking the level 9 supreme devil core from its body. ¡°Master, this devil core is quite useful for my cultivation¡­.¡± ¡°Go ahead and consume it.¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for the Goliath to finish his words as he permitted him to eat it. Since he had gained so much on this trip, Leo didn¡¯t think much about the devil¡¯s core. Moreover, since Gredor would be the King of the Devil Goliath World, he could directly take the useful treasures from this world by giving all the devil cores to him.. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Goliath swallowed the devil¡¯s core; however, his body had no reaction whatsoever. ¡°Master, ording to the information I received in my inheritance, all the Devil Goliaths live on the other side of this ck Ocean.¡± Soon, Gredor pointed in a specific direction and asked Leo, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He didn¡¯t wait for Leo¡¯s reply as he lightly held Leo¡¯s hand and flew in the air. ¡°You can fly now?¡± Leo was surprised to see that Gredor could fly. ¡°All Legend-grade beings could fly even if they don¡¯t have any flying type talent.¡± Gredor replied, and before Leo could say anything, the Goliath shot in the distance at an incredible speed. ¡®This speed is much faster than my instant teleportation. Is this how fast all the Legend-grade beings are?¡¯ Leo could barely see anything because of the incredible flying speed; however, he was able to think, and he waspletely in awe of how fast the Goliath was flying. ¡®If I be a Legend-grade being, the world assessment would be a piece of cake, right?¡¯ ¡­. On the other side of the ck Ocean, ¡°The three Devil Goliath Kings have allied once again to kill the Colossal Devil Beast.¡± ¡°I wonder whether they can be sessful or not?¡± ¡°I hope they will be sessful. If they get the Devil Core from the Colossal Devil Beast, our Devil Goliath world will be more powerful.¡± ¡°Yes. But, even if they get the Devil Core of the Colossal Devil Beast, which Goliath King would consume it to break through his strength? I hope they don¡¯t fight internally for the Devil Core.¡± A group of young Devil Goliaths was sparring on the edges of the ck Ocean while discussing the things happening in their world. ¡°If not for that evil beast, this ocean would not have corroded, and we could have visited the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Sacred Ground to receive various treasures and the devil cores.¡± Some stopped sparring, looked at the ck Ocean, and could not help but sigh. ¡°Hey, look over there. What is that?¡± Suddenly, two figures were flying over the ck Ocean at an incredible speed. When they were close, the young Devil Goliath saw a majestic-looking Goliath and a being they had never seen before. They were none other than Leo and Gredor, who flew from the Blood Devil Goliath¡¯s Sacred Ground to thisnd where the Devil Goliaths lived. ¡°Sir, you are¡­?¡± Even though they didn¡¯t know who the Goliath that flew over the ck Ocean was, they were respectfully bowed and asked about Gredor. ¡°I am Gredor, the inheritor of the Blood Devil Goliath and soon-to-be the King of this World.¡± Gredor introduced himself to the young Devil Goliath and asked, ¡°Who is the current king of this world?¡± ¡°Inheritor of the Blood Goliath?¡± All the young Devil Goliath was surprised to hear Gredor¡¯s words and became even more respectful, and one of the Devil Goliath started exining. ¡°There are currently three Kings in this world. The Magma Devil Goliath King, The Marker Devil Goliath King, and Abyss Devil Goliath King. Even though they fight with one another from time to time, they are close and ruling this world together and contributed a lot during the grade 1 world assessment.¡± ¡°Currently, they are challenging a level 9 supreme-ranked Colossal Devil Beast in the ck Forest.¡± ¡°Can you point me to the ck Forest?¡± After hearing the full information about this world, Gredor nodded and asked them about the direction. ¡°Do you see the huge mountain over there? The Colossal Devil Beast will be around that mountain. I think Sir can find the three Kings over there.¡± One of the young goliaths pointed at a huge mountain in the distance that would be at least 1000 kilometers and informed them to go over there to find the three kings. ¡°Thank you. Each of you, take one.¡± Gredor threw a dozen level 1 supreme-ranked devil stones at the young goliaths before flying towards the mountain top that could be barely seen from their location. ¡°Th¡­this is¡­Devil Core?¡± ¡°A supreme-grade Devil Core.¡± ¡°Hey, take only one. I think that expert has left one for everyone here.¡± The young Devil Goliaths were shocked to see the supreme-grade devil cores, and soon after, they became excited. After taking one devil core, they excitedly rushed to their homes to inform their families about the mysterious expert who flew over the ck Ocean and gave them the devil cores. ¡­.. As for Leo, from beginning to the end, he remained silent and didn¡¯t even bother to give instructions to the Ancient Devil Goliath because he wanted to see how much the Goliath had grown. ¡®I think he is pretty much intelligent to rule this world with this strength.¡¯ Unlike the human world, the Devil Goliath world works differently. As long as you have enough strength, you can be the king of the world and order others. Of course, if anyone was confident in defeating their current king, they could challenge the King, and upon sessfully defeating the existing king, they could be the world¡¯s new king. There were not many politics and hidden agendas whatsoever. If one had enough strength, they would be acknowledged as the King in this Goliath Devil World. ¡­.. ¡°Why are there three Colossal Devil Beasts here?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. We can¡¯t even defeat a single Colossal Devil Beast, but there are three of them now.¡± ¡°We have been cking and let the Devil Beasts evolve into the Colossal Devil Beasts. If we don¡¯t kill them now, more and more Colossal Devil Beasts will appear in this forest.¡± ¡°More and more Colossal Devil Beasts are indeed appearing; however, we are not cking and killing as many Devil Beasts as possible before they have evolved. We might have missed one or two that evolved into the Colossal Devil Beasts.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! In this matter, we can¡¯t do anything.¡± The three Goliath Kings looked at the three Colossal Devil Beasts in the distance and discussed among themselves their future ns. ¡°So, what should we do now? If we leave them, they will be a burden for us.¡± ¡°Abyss, what do you say?¡± The two Goliath Kings looked at the grey-coloured Goliath King and asked for his opinion. ¡°What else? I will try to lure one of them away from the group, and let¡¯s try killing it after that.¡± The grey-coloured Goliath King didn¡¯t think much as he replied, ¡°However, the moment we feel we can¡¯t defeat it, let¡¯s abandon our mission ande back after increasing our strength a little more.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Be careful and don¡¯t get caught by it.¡± The two Goliath Kings warned the Abyss Devil Goliath King, who was good at luring the Colossal Devil Beasts. ¡°Idiot. Stop being affectionate to me all the time. It feels weird to me.¡± After saying those words, the Abyss Devil Goliath King was about toplete his mission; however, something from the sky fell in the location of the three Colossal Devil Beasts. ¡°What the¡­who are they?¡± After the dust cleared, they saw three Colossal Devil Beasts turn into mincemeat, and a Goliath was standing on them while looking in their direction. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (634 / 700). Chapter 288 Changes in the talent [The World Traveller] ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± ¡°When did such a powerful Goliath appear in our world?¡± ¡°Do you know about him?¡± The three Devil Goliath Kings werepletely shocked at how easily the newly arrived Goliath killed three Colossal Devil Beasts. Each Colossal Devil Beast has a strength of level 9 supreme rank; however, they have strong bodies that even a level 9 supreme-ranked Goliath King might have trouble dealing with. However, the newly arrived Goliath stomped three of such powerful Colossal Devil Beast into mincemeat. Therefore, the three Devil Goliath Kings were shocked because only a Legend grade Goliath might be able to achieve such a feat. ¡°He is definitely a Legend-Grade Devil or a Legend-Grade Devil Cultivator from the Legends we heard when we were young.¡± The intelligent one among the three Devil Goliath Kings, the Abyss Goliath King, guessed the strength of the newly arrived Goliath and informed the other two. ¡°Legend-Grade Devil or a Legend-Grade Devil Cultivator?¡± Some of the worlds follow the ¡°Path of Heroes,¡± whereas the Devil Goliaths in the Devil Goliath World follow the ¡°Path of Devils¡± along with the Devil Cultivation. ¡®Path of Devils¡¯ is simr to the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯; however, the talents awakened by them would be more violent in naturepared to those worlds that follow the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯. Of course, in the end, the talents from both paths can be used to do both Good and Bad, and it entirely depends on the user. ¡°Shall we go and pay him our respects?¡±. If the newly arrived Goliath was a Legend-Grade Devil and a Legend-Grade Devil Cultivator, they must show respect. With his help, their world¡¯s chances of surviving the uing world assessments would greatly increase. ¡°So, you are the present kings of this world.¡± As they were thinking of meeting the newly arrived Goliath that killed the three Colossal Devil Beasts, they heard a cold voice beside them. ¡®When did he appear?¡¯ Turning their heads, they saw that powerful Goliath was standing beside him and asked them a question. ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± The Abyss Goliath King was the first to recover from his shock as he respectfully nodded. ¡°Good.¡± Gredor coldly nodded and said, ¡°I want to challenge you three. Do you dare to ept my challenge?¡± From the information he received, Gredor challenged the three Goliath Kings like old times. ¡°We don¡¯t dare.¡± ¡°We admit defeat.¡± However, the three Goliath Kings shuddered just from standing before Gredor. They didn¡¯t hesitate to admit defeat even before the challenge started. ¡°From this moment onwards, I am the King of this Devil Goliath World, right?¡± Gredor intentionally killed the three Colossal Devil Beast to show his battle strength as he didn¡¯t want to waste any time with small talk. Therefore, the three Goliath Kings swore their loyalty to the strongest Devil Goliath they had ever seen. ¡°Master, are you satisfied?¡± Once the three Goliath Kings swore their loyalty to Gredor, he turned his head to Leo and asked with a slight smile which was his first time after bing Leo¡¯s summon. ¡°Very much.¡± Leo thought Gredor might need some help taking over the Devil Goliath World with less bloodshed. Hence, when he saw Gredor take over the Devil Goliath World just by killing three Colossal Devil Beasts, Leo was very much satisfied. ¡®If this was achieved by Arlo or even Sutin, my dumbest beast follower, I would have not been surprised but Gredor was an Undead Summon until a few hours back.¡¯ Whatever the reason was, Leo was satisfied with Gredor¡¯s way of dealing with things. ¡®Master?¡¯ The three Goliath Kings looked at Leo and were shocked at how respectful the Legend-Grade Goliath to whom they swore their loyalty. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for leaving a significant impression on the three Ex-kings of the Devil Goliath King. ¡®Ding, The host has gained enough reputation for the talent [World Traveler] to unlock a new effect. Suddenly, Leo received the system notifications; however, it was not a reward from the system. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: The World Traveller. Grade: Mortal Grade. Effect: The host can open a portal to a random grade 1 or gradeless world once every year, which lets him stay for seven days. Permitted Worlds: 1) Devil Goliath world: The host can enter the Devil Goliath World once every month and can stay for one week in it. Note: The host has gained the highest possible reputation so that he could enter once every month regardless of the main effect¡¯s cooldown. ¡®So, this is how the ve Marker was able to enter the Beas again and again.¡¯ Leo was not surprised at the changes in the [World Traveller] because he already knew about it. ¡®Is it because of the three Goliath Kings that I gained the highest possible reputation?¡¯ Since the three Goliath Kings were the most powerful goliaths in this world after Gredor, Leo could tell that he gained so much reputation from them. ¡®Since I can open a portal to this world, I can call for help during the world assessment of the human world.¡¯ Leo silently thought as he became more confident in passing the world assessment. ¡®I wonder what kind of benefits I will get from passing the world assessment.¡¯ ording to the ming Lion King, passing the world assessment and those who contributed significantly during that assessment would be heavily rewarded with an unknown entity from the sky. However, Leo could not wait to know about them. So, he flew towards the three Devil Goliath Kings and gave them 100 Devil Cores each before asking, ¡°What rewards did you receive from passing the grade 1 world assessment.¡± Since the Devil Goliath world had sessfully passed the grade 1 world assessment and the three Devil Goliath Kings became the world¡¯s rulers, they would have received some benefits. Therefore, Leo felt they would know about it. ¡°During the world assessment, we three contributed more or less the same and after passing the assessment, our devil rank increased from level 4 to 7 supreme rank.¡± ¡°Not only that, we even awakened a special devil talent each along with a God Stone each.¡± Even though Leo was only a level 2 supreme hero, the three Goliath Kings were respectful to him and answered his question. ¡®A God stone, A special talent and three ranks increase in strength¡­interesting.¡¯ Leo smiled slightly and thought, ¡®Looks like the ming Lion King was right. I have another reason to protect the human world now.¡¯ Previously, he just wanted to protect his family, friends, and followers and didn¡¯t want them to turn into monsters in some unknown world. Second, he had a powerful city, and he doubted he could take it with him to the other world if they failed the world assessment. And thirdly, he would receive great rewards if they passed the world assessment. Of course, the rewards depend on an individual¡¯s contribution to the world. ¡°Gredor, why don¡¯t we exchange some useful treasures for some devil cores?¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste time and checked the useful treasures of the three Goliath Kings; however, he only found five Fragments of the God Stones that were useful to him. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s stay in the Devil Goliath World is about to end. Please get ready to leave in a minute. ¡®Ding, Reminder: The system detected the host¡¯s summon became a Legend-Grade being, and it can¡¯t enter a gradeless world. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: ?[0??]? 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (664 / 700). Chapter 289 [Bonus chapter] Returning to Golden Hawk City ¡®As I expected, I can¡¯t bring him back to my world.¡¯ Leo could already tell that he could not bring Gredor back to his world; however, he was curious about the reason. So, he asked the system about it. ?[0??]? ¡®Ding, It was a rule set by the ¡®Unknown Entity¡¯ to stop from entering the gradeless world to conquer them. ¡®Ding, Whether it was an ally or an enemy, if someone broke the limits of a supreme being, they could not enter a gradeless. Even though the system was under the upgrade, it still answered Leo¡¯s question without any dy. ¡®Oh. So, it was to protect the gradeless world. What a fair rule!¡¯ Leo scoffed at the rule set by the ¡®Unknown Entity. ¡®Who cares about the rules when the game starts with unfairness!¡¯ How does it feel to be thrown your world upside down because some ¡®Unknown Entity¡¯ was bored with a peaceful world? What¡¯s more, there were additionally more rules and regtions that were stopping him from bringing his own summon back to his world. ¡®Ding,. Even though the host could bring the Ancient Devil Goliath King to your world during the world assessment, it would only increase the difficulty to the next level. ¡®¡­¡¯ Why would Leo want to increase the difficulty of the world assessment? ¡®If I can¡¯t bring Gredor with me, I can take these Devil Goliath Kings to my world during the world assessment.¡¯ Leo silently thought and asked the system, ¡®Will it also increase the difficulty of the world assessment?¡¯ ¡®Ding, No. As long as there are no experts beyond the supreme rank in the world, there won¡¯t be any increase in the world assessment¡¯s difficulty. Leo stopped thinking about it because he would only get frustrated if he thought about the ¡®Unknown Entity. ¡°Gredor, I think it¡¯s time for me to leave this world.¡± Since there was not much time for him, Leo decided to bid farewell to the Ancient Devil Goliath as he continued, ¡°I will visit you again in a month¡­no in four days in your world¡¯s time.¡± One day in the Devil Goliath World is equivalent to seven days in the human world. Since he could enter the Devil Goliath World once a month, it would be only four days for the Ancient Devil Goliath. ¡°Yes, master.¡± Gredor nodded and looked at his master with a calm look. As for what he was thinking, no one knows. ¡­ Golden Hawk City, Gradeless human world, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A portal appeared in the city hall of the Floating City as Leo walked out of it with a satisfied look. Even though he could not bring Gredor with him, Leo was assured that he summon became the King of a Grade 1 world. ¡®Even though I didn¡¯t get any new talent, the gains from this trip to the Devil Goliath were immense.¡¯ Leo shook his head and walked out of the City Hall for fresh air. ¡°Master, you look happy today.¡± The city manager Selphie appeared out of nowhere and asked Leo with a curious smile. ¡°I am confident that passing the world assessment has increased a lot. So, you could say I am happy.¡± Leo casually replied to Selphie before asking, ¡°What is everyone doing? Brief me on it.¡± Even though Leo spent only one day in the Devil Goliath World, he was gone for seven days in the Human World. ¡°The Shadow Vampire King divided the 122 newly awakened citizens into three teams ording to their talents and put the three mercenary squads in charge of each group.¡± As the city manager, not only can she take care of the city but she will keep an eye on everything that happens inside the city. So, he started exining how Victor, the shadow vampire king, was training the newly awakened citizens. ¡°Two out of three squads went into the Solitary Forest whereas the third squad, it entered the Uncleared Land around the Starlight City.¡± ¡°As for the monster and beast citizens, they are currently resting in their recently built abodes.¡± The elf fairy briefed Leo pointing to the den-like structures in the city. Other than those den-like structures, there were many residences for the citizens to rest when they returned from their training. ¡°It looks like Victor has some ns for his monster and beast followers.¡± Actually, the cial Imps, Sun Nagas and Fury Golems were not Leo¡¯s followers; instead, they swore their loyalty to Victor whereas Victor swore loyalty to Leo along with his brother dimir. ¡°As for dimir, he is hunting alone who knows where and he informed me that he would return only after he became a Supreme-ranked Monster.¡± The elf fairy suddenly remembered something and informed Leo about the Shadow Vampire. ¡°Finally, he set a goal for himself. It¡¯s a good thing.¡± Leo was not worried that something might happen to dimir in the wilderness or get captured by powerful experts because when ites to escaping, dimir was way better than him. ¡°Anyway, how many days will it take us to reach Starlight City?¡± Since Leo was nning to visit the Evesting City, he needed to pass through Starlight City. When his Floating City reached the Starlight City, Leo nned to enter the [God Ruins] in the Uncleared Land around the Starlight City. ¡°It will take around three more days, City Leader.¡± Since the Floating City can move 100 kilometers per day and it¡¯s been flying for thest seven days. Hence, it only needed three more days to reach because Phirie City and Starlight City were separated by only 1000 kilometers. ¡°Three days?¡± Leo nodded and thought, ¡®I will cultivate for a day before going to the [God Ruins] in the Uncleared Land. By the time Floating City reaches Starlight City, I can get out of it.¡¯ Since Leo had just returned from a Grade 1 World, Leo felt mentally exhausted. Moreover, he had exhausted so much of his energy in the Devil Goliath World while fighting the Corroded Devil Beasts and the Corroded Colossal Devil Beast. He was unable to consume the corpses of those Corroded Devil Beasts. Even though he needed some rest, for him, cultivating was way better than taking resting. ¡®Every time I cultivate, I feel refreshed and great. So, why waste my time in taking a casual sleep when I have something better than that.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he took a small troll around the city to see the buildings before going back to his room to start his cultivation. ¡®With the five Fragments of the God Stones I got from the Devil Goliath World, I have a total of seven Fragments of the God Stones now.¡¯ After returning to his room, Leo didn¡¯t start his cultivation directly; instead, he thought about the ¡®Fragments of the God Stones.¡¯ ¡®However, I have to wait until the systempletes its upgrade to unlock the new system abilities.¡¯ Since he could buy the system abilities with the help of the Fragments of the God Stones, Leo decided to use them solely for buying the system abilities. ¡®Neigh~¡¯ Suddenly, a horse neighed in the distance and Leo knew it was none other than the Moonlight Unicorn. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In no time, the Mother Moonlight Unicorn flew into his room from the window with a multi-coloured egg under its smaller pair of wings. ¡®The egg is shining, which means it¡¯s about to hatch.¡¯ ***** DaoistJ7t5gx, Daoist1IwDdh, zing_1NS4N1TY, thanks for the GIFTS. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (665 / 700). Chapter 290 [Live Bearing] ¡®The egg is shining, which means it¡¯s about to hatch.¡¯ Leo became slightly surprised when looking at the multi-coloured egg in the Moonlight Unicorn¡¯s second pair of wings. ¡°Master, since you are not in the city, I temporarily stopped nurturing this egg. However, even without my nurturing, it is about to hatch.¡± The Moonlight Unicorn ced the egg on the ground while exining, ¡°Since master is here, I think it is a good time for the egg to hatch.¡± Before Leo entered the Devil Goliath World, he asked the Moonlight Unicorn to use its skill [Moonlight Nurturer] to speed up the incubation period of the multi-coloured spider egg. However, the Moonlight Unicorn thought it wouldn¡¯t be good if the hatched spiderling didn¡¯t see Leo aftering out from the egg. Therefore, after four days of nurturing, it stopped nurturing the egg and waited for Leo to arrive. In the end, the hatchlingpleted its incubation period and was about toe out. But, to her surprise, the Moonlight Unicorn sensed Leo¡¯s presence and hurriedly brought the shining egg to him. ¡°Good work.¡± Leo caressed the smooth mane of the Moonlight Unicorn and looked at the shining egg. ¡®ording to the system, the spiderling thates out of the egg will be a supreme-ranked beast. I wonder what type of skills and talents it will have.¡¯ Since Leo already knew what type of beast was inside the egg, he was curious about the talents and skills. ¡®Kacha¡¯. Soon, cracks started appearing on the shining egg, and a small de-like leg pierced through the egg shell before a tiny spider crawled out of the egg. ¡®Tik tik¡¯ The tiny spider was around the size of a child¡¯s fist and pitch-ck in colour. However, three thick stripes of red, blue and green were on its back. The first thing it did aftering out of the egg was to look at the egg shells. However, it didn¡¯t bother to eat them and curiously checked its surroundings before rushing towards Leo. ¡®Since I drop my blood on the egg, it would obviously be connected to me.¡¯ Leo was not surprised and checked the information on it. ¡®Ding, Hero assessment Name: Rainbow Spider (Spiderling). Strength: Level 1 supreme beast hero. Talent: [Spiderling Protection], [Live Bearing] (Locked). [Spiderling Protection]: The spiderling will be protected by all energy attacks and physical attacks below Legend-Grade until it bes an Adult Spider. [Live Bearing]: The Spider can bear an egg at the start of the day and hatch it by the end of the day. The strength of the hatchlings from those eggs varied from rank 1 to the strength of the Rainbow Spider. Note: It will be unlocked when the Spiderling bes an adult Spider. Skills: None Bloodline: Royal Spider Queen (Passive). [Royal Spider Queen]: 1) There is a 50 percent chance that the spider-type beasts and monsters will be loyal to it. 2) The spider-type beasts and monsters will be suppressed by 25 percent. Limited to only normal spiders. Soon, theplete information about the spiderling soon appeared in front of him, making Leo frown. ¡®Only two talents and among which one is locked, and when it is unlocked, the other talent will disappear.¡¯ Since the system mentioned that the spiderling would be a supreme-grade beast, Leo expected it to have some attack-type talents and skills. However, there were no attack-type talents, and as for the skills, it was even more terrible as there were none. ¡®Nevermind, with its [Live-bearing] talent, it could create its own army. At that time, even if it had no attack-type talent, her army would protect her.¡¯ Even though Leo had great expectations of using the Supreme-ranked spider, after seeing there were no attack-type talents or skills, Leo was not much disappointed. Unlike when he got this supreme-ranked egg, he got a few supreme-ranked followers. So, he didn¡¯t think much about the strength of the Rainbow spider. Since her army will be his army anyway. ¡®However, it is considered the native of this world. Is it because it was born in this world?¡¯ Leo was surprised to see that the system categorized the spiderling as a native; instead of a Monster. ¡°I wonder how I can grow it into an adult spider in the shortest time possible.¡± Looking at the spiderling that settled in his pocket, Leo muttered about it. ¡°Master, I can use my [Moonlight Nurturer] skill to fasten its growth.¡± The Moonlight Unicorn was still standing in his room, and after hearing his words, she suggested using the [Moonlight Nurturer] skill. ¡°Hm¡­what about your child? You don¡¯t want to nurture him?¡± Leo liked the idea of the Moonlight Unicorn fastening the growth of the spiderling; however, he felt a little bad about her child, who also hatched a couple of weeks back. ¡°It¡¯s alright, master. He is yful and wants to go out of the city to fight with his pitiful strength. If I nurture him and make him stronger, he would definitely not listen to me anymore.¡± The Moonlight Unicorn shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want him to start fighting so soon and lose him like his father.¡± The Moonlight Unicorn had her own share of troubles in this god-forsaken world and wanted her son to avoid the dangers. ¡°Okay.¡± Since the Moonlight Unicorn didn¡¯t have any ns to nurture her child, Leo decided to use her [Moonlight Nurturer] skill to fasten the growth of the Spiderling. ¡°From now onwards, your name will be Rain.¡± Taking the spiderling out of his pocket, Leo gave it a name before saying, ¡°Grow up fast and create your own army before this world¡¯s assessment starts.¡± ¡°Tik tik¡± The spiderling looked at Leo with confusion in its eight eyes for a moment before nodding. ¡°What does that mean? Did you understand what I said?¡± Leo was surprised to see that the spiderling understood his words. Previously when the Moonlight Unicorn pony came out of the egg, it had an intelligent look in its eyes; however, it didn¡¯t understand his words. However, the spiderling clearly understood his words, making Leo remember that it was not a normal spiderling but a supreme-ranked spiderling. ¡®No wonder the Spider Queen of the Beas wanted to use this spiderling to fight the ming Lion King. It seems quite intelligent, and I wonder how powerful it would be when it bes an adult spider.¡¯ With the ability to give birth to a spiderling daily that might have strength ranging from rank 1 to Spider mother¡¯s strength along with the intelligence, Leo could tell the spiderling might rival the ming Lion King if given enough time. ¡®Anyway, the Spider Mother in the Beas has some crazy nurturing skills to speed up the Rainbow spider¡¯s growth.¡¯ Leo suddenly had a crazy idea, ¡®I can kill the Spider Queen and swallow its nurturing skill; I can fasten the growth of the rainbow spider, right?¡¯ Nevertheless, he rejected that idea because he didn¡¯t know when he could enter the Beas and even if he entered, he should kill the Spider Queen without help from his followers or summons. ¡®Otherwise, I can¡¯t use my [Talent Swallowing Ability] to swallow its talents.¡¯ Leo shook his head as he didn¡¯t have the strength to kill the Spider Queen alone. Suddenly, Leo heard a familiar voice from the sky and muttered, ¡®Unknown Entity?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (670 / 700). Chapter 291 World Announcement The ancient voice from the sky resounded everywhere in the human world, making everyone surprised, shocked, and afraid. ¡®What is that?¡¯ ¡®Is it Heaven?¡¯ ¡®What is pre-assessment?¡¯ ¡®I think the sudden appearance of the portals and monstersing out of it must be the pre-assessment.¡¯ ¡®That¡¯s right! If not for the otherworldly beings who arrived promptly, the entire human race would have been wiped out.¡¯ The regr humans and heroes started their own discussions regarding the voice from the sky. . As for the ancient voice, it didn¡¯t bother with what the humans and heroes of this world discussed; it startedughing while exining the world assessment. ¡®World assessment in a month?¡¯ Leo frowned when he heard the ancient voice from the sky and muttered, ¡®That¡¯s sooner than I thought.¡¯ He initially thought there would be five more months before the world assessment started, but the ancient voice told them it would be in a month. ¡°Moreover, I didn¡¯t know two more man-made cities existed in this world.¡± Another thing that made Leo frown was the number of man-made cities. So far, Leo only knew about the three cities. They were: Golden Hawk City (Floating City), New Starlight City (Normal City), and City of the ves (Hidden City). Hence, he was surprised and, at the same time, became serious about the remaining two cities. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t the world assessment supposed to be one year after the five cities were created? Why is it only one month for this world?¡± It was the elf fairy who said those words. ¡°What?¡± Leo frowned and suddenly thought of something, ¡®Why is that ancient voice so adamant about destroying this human world?¡¯ Except for Leo and a few other special existences, until now, no one in this world knew what they experienced in the past was a pre-assessment, and there would be an uing world assessment. To be honest, they didn¡¯t even know about the existence of the ancient voice until now. ording to what Leo learned from all the information he gathered from the war god¡¯s remnant spirit, ming Lion King, Starlight Tribe Leader Fremont, the three Devil Goliath Kings, and the System, the ancient voice was adamant about destroying the human worlds. First, he didn¡¯t give the warning about the pre-assessment and didn¡¯t help in awakening the talents of the humans; however, the ancient voice helped the beasts in the Beas with everything. Second, even though the ancient voice helped the humans from the Starlight World a little, their grade 1 world assessment was difficult; even with their Starlight Cultivation plus Awakened talents, they could not pass the assessment. And now, ording to the elf fairy, a gradeless world was supposed to be given a time period of one year to prepare for the grade 1 world assessment; however, the human world was given only a single month. ¡®Upon adding all these things together, it only shows how much the ancient voice or those behind that ancient voice hates humans.¡¯ Even though Leo believed there was no fairness in this world, it was so cruel when the ancient voice was so obvious about eliminating the entire humans from the world. ¡®Anyway, other than passing the world assessment, there was nothing I or the other human heroes could do.¡¯ Even though Leo didn¡¯t have much attachment to the world, he didn¡¯t want to fail the assessment and turn into the monsters along with his friends and family in some unknown world. Therefore, Leo decided to build his strength as much as possible before the world assessment started. ¡°Since the world assessment is only one month away, I think I should put forward my n toplete what the otherworldly beings didn¡¯tplete before leaving the world.¡± Leo looked in the direction of the Starlight City and muttered, ¡®After I eliminate the branch of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower in the Starlight City, I will pay a visit to the City Leader of the Starlight City.¡¯ ¡®I hope the system canplete its upgrade before the world assessment and unlock a good system ability while upgrading all the existing system abilities.¡¯ Even though Leo had enough confidence to protect himself and his family during the assessment, if there were major changes in the system abilities and a powerful attack-type system ability, his chances of passing the world assessment would increase by another level. ¡®Ding, The host can speed up the system upgrade using the Fragments of the God Stones. ¡®Ding, With one Fragment of the God Stone, the host can decrease the upgrade time by one week. ¡®Huh? I can even decrease the upgrade time for the system?¡¯ When he saw the first system notification, Leo was excited; however, when he saw the second system notification, Leo revealed a bitter smile. ¡®Even though I have enough Fragments of the God Stones on me, I am not rich enough to use the Fragments of the God Stones to decrease the time.¡¯ Even though it was not a bad deal, Leo felt using a Fragment of the God Stone to decrease the upgrade time by a week seemed quite expensive. ¡®Instead of using four Fragments of the God Stones to reduce the upgrade time by 28 days, I better wait and use those Fragments of the God Stones to unlock two new system abilities.¡¯ Currently, Leo has seven Fragments of the God Stones, and he thought he could use them to unlock two new system abilities. Moreover, he would get another system ability after the system upgrades anyway. ¡®With the three new system abilities and with the upgraded existing abilities along with my talents and skills, it would be a difficult thing to contribute enough in passing the World Assessment.¡¯ Finally, Leo revealed a slight smile and thought, ¡®Moreover, my friends and followers would be more powerful in this month and if I give them some resources to speed up their progress even further, the world assessment might be quite easy to clear.¡¯ Even though he said all those things, somewhere deep in his heart, Leo was worried about the Ancient Voice, who might make things difficult for them. ¡®Whatever, if I feel the situation is hopeless, I will try to escape to some random grade 1 world with my family and friends using the talent [The World Traveller].¡¯ Even though 10 percent of the surviving humans would be teleported to some random world, they would not be teleported to the same location in that random world. Therefore, Leo decided to escape without any hesitation because from the second use of his [World Traveller], Leo could bring his family and followers with him to the other worlds. ¡®I hope that will not happen because I don¡¯t want to lose my Floating City and the New Starlight City.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and muttered, ¡®I have to start farming my talents and skills while aplishing the mission left behind by the Otherworldly Beings.¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 700 Golden Tickets (697 / 700). Chapter 292 [Bonus Chapter] Dragon Summoning Hero In the City of the ves, ¡®Huh? The World Assessment is much earlier than I anticipated.¡¯ Jayden frowned when he heard the familiar ancient voice he heard when he built the ¡®City of the ves¡¯ using the City Creation Token. ¡®That damned voice really hates the humans just Iike he said.¡¯ After thinking for some time, Jayden thought, ¡®Looks like I have to speed things up. This world needs to pass the world assessment at any cost. I don¡¯t want to leave my city and turn into a monster.¡¯ Like Leo, Jayden also had the same thoughts. Even though he was confident in surviving the world assessment, Jayden didn¡¯t want to lose the city he had poured his sweat and blood into developing for thest 10 years. Therefore, he wanted this world to pass the assessment at any cost. ¡®Moreover, if the world sessfully passes the world assessment and based on my contribution during the world assessment, I will be rewarded heavily by the ancient voice and could even be the King of this world.¡¯ Jayden became excited when he thought of such a possibility and muttered, ¡®I think it is finally time for me to take full control over the two grade 1 worlds in which I have established my faction.¡¯ Soon, Jayden called a few young ves and ordered, ¡°Within a month, I don¡¯t know what you will do, within a month, I want everyone from the Supreme ve Squad to reach at least level 5 supreme-rank.¡± ¡°Yes, master. We will make good use of Master¡¯s [Growth Enhancing ve Seal] and be as powerful as possible.¡± There were 100 young and middle-aged ves with the strength ranging from level 1 to 3 supreme rank.. Everyone replied to Jayden in unison at the same time. ¡°Good. This world¡¯s future will depend on you. So, work hard.¡± Jayden sent them away before thinking, ¡®Which Grade 1 world should I conquer first? Ancient Naga World or Magma Devil World?¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Jayden finally decided, ¡®Let¡¯s go with Ancient Naga World.¡¯ Soon, he opened the portal to the Ancient Naga World. ¡°Little one, it is finally time for you to be the King of the Ancient Naga World.¡± He said to the little snake that apanied him from his young age with excitement. ¡®Hiss~¡¯ As for the little snake, it hissed but didn¡¯t speak anything despite having the strength of a level 1 supreme rank. ¡­ In the City Hall of the fourth city created by the City Creation Token, ¡°World Assesment? It looks like someone has created a city just after I created my city.¡± A young man was sitting on the steps of his City Hall and listened to the ancient voice that exined the world assessment. ¡°I am waiting for some grand event to make a public appearance. It looks like the Heavens are on my side.¡± The young man was wearing golden-coloured robes and didn¡¯t seem like he was from the human world; instead, his appearance was more like someone from a cultivation world. ¡°Within a month, my dragons will at least reach level 5 supreme-rank. I think I will take over this world and turn it into my world.¡± Unlike the humans of this world, the young man was quite excited about the uing world assessment in a month. ¡°Young master, the manticores decided to swear their loyalty to us. Shall we let them enter the city?¡± An old mannded before the young man and was respectfully informed. ¡°Old man, what did you call me just now?¡± The young man looked at the old man with a displeased look and asked in a cold tone. ¡°Dragon Summoning Hero, I am quite old and kept forgetting that.¡± The old man was not anxious; instead, he rubbed the back of his head and replied with a slight smile. ¡°Sigh.¡± The young man shook his head and replied, ¡°Whatever. Let the manticore enter the city and enjoy the passive experience boost from my city hall.¡± ¡°Sure, young¡­.Dragon Summoning Hero.¡± The old man nodded and hurriedly left without wasting time. ¡°The manticore has enough strength. With the addition of manticores, my Dragon City has be a little more powerful.¡± After the old man left, the young man revealed a satisfied smile before entering the city hall to start his cultivation. ¡­ In the City Hall of the fifth city created by the City Creation Token, ¡°Damn it¡­why am I so unlucky all the time?¡± A young girl in her early twenties became anxious when she finished hearing the world announcement. ¡°If I didn¡¯t create this city, there would have been no world assessment, right? Why? Just why?¡± The young girl was so frustrated at the fact that just after she received the rewards from the ancient voice, the same ancient voice made a world announcement regarding the world assessment. Before she could even enjoy creating her own city, she became anxious and scared. She med herself for speeding up the world assessment by creating her city. Unlike the other city leaders, she had no powerful talent, faction, or anything. She was unlucky all her life, and just a few minutes back, she stumbled upon a city creation token. At first, she thought she became lucky for stumbling upon the city creation token, and she was worried that someone might steal the city creation token from her. Hence, she decided to create a hidden city, but soon, she realized that her bad luck was still haunting her as the ancient voice announced the world assessment. ¡°No¡­I can¡¯t give up yet. The ancient voice has upgraded my talent to level 1 supreme grade, I think I can use the world assessment to change my destiny.¡± The young girl had endured so many things and still continued living her life without giving up. Therefore, she became determined to change her destiny by contributing to world assessment. ¡­ Not only Leo and Jayden and the other city leaders, everyone living in the human world were shocked and became anxious after hearing the world announcement from the ¡®Unknown Entity¡¯. However, the leaders of the secret organizations became excited as they prepared to make their grand appearance during the world assessment. ¡®The one who contributes most during the world assessment would get so many rewards.¡¯ They didn¡¯t care much about the world. They only cared about the rewards that could be gained from sessfully passing the world assessment. ¡®From today onwards, go all-out and search for the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands]. The one who finds the whereabouts of the [God Ruins] or [Treasurends], they would be rewarded with 100 millin Hero coins.¡¯ Each secret organization released a mission to find the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] with an excellent reward, making all its members quite excited about it. The fastest way to increase the strength was to fight the wilderness; however, the treasures and items avable in the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] would make someone very powerful overnight. Therefore, all the leaders of the Secret Organizations focused mainly on the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] because one month was not enough to increase their strength by so much just by fighting the wilderness. Of course, the Order of the Healing Angels was no exception, as they followed the same method as the other secret organization. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) An Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (697 / 750). Chapter 293 Additional Use of the [Special Refining Cultivation Technqiue] In the City Hall, Golden Hawk City, Time continued to pass, and one day passed by in a sh since the Ancient Voice¡¯s world announcement regarding the World Assessment. Leo was sitting cross-legged in his room as small shiny dots slowly but steadily entered his body. ¡®Ding, The host received 100 units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s Starlight Dantian is full. Please delete it before continuing your Starlight Cultivation. ¡®Phew¡­it¡¯s time to be the rank 4 Starlight Cultivator.¡¯ Leo opened his eyes when he received the system notification. After one day of his cultivation, Leo¡¯s after-effects of traveling between the worlds had disappeared entirely, and he felt he was physically and mentally full of energy. ¡®This Starlight Cultivation is truly a good refresher.¡¯ The main reason why Leo cultivates, even though it is time-consuming, is not because he wants to increase his strength; instead, he refreshes his mind and removes the exhaustion from his body. Upgrading his cultivation with the absorbed Starlight Energy was a bonus because even if he wanted to use his starlight cultivation in the fight, it was useless, and he would be defeated in no time. Moreover, he did not need to use the Starlight Cultivation¡¯s strength when he had powerful special talents and a wide range of skills. ¡®I want to use 3000 units of Starlight Energy to upgrade my strength to level 4.¡¯. Since his Starlight Dantian was full, he could use the starlight energy to upgrade his cultivation. So, he asked the system to upgrade. ¡®Ding, Consumed 3000 units of Starlight Energy for upgrading the host¡¯s cultivation. ¡®Ding, The host needs at least one Elite cultivation technique. Please upgrade one of your Basic cultivation techniques to be a Rank 4 Starlight Cultivator. ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, unlike before, Leo¡¯s cultivation didn¡¯t upgrade; instead, the system asked him to upgrade one of his cultivation techniques. ¡®Ding, The cultivation techniques require the same units of Starlight Energy, simr to upgrading his cultivation rank. ¡®Ding, For Example, a level 1 cultivation technique requires 1000 units of Starlight Energy to upgrade into a level 2, the same amount needed for the host to be a rank 2 Starlight Cultivator. ¡®Oh. So, I can upgrade them using Starlight Energy.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think much about it since he was not in a hurry to be a powerful Starlight Cultivator. Even if he wanted to, it would take years for him to aplish that feat because the required units of Starlight Energy were increasing with each rank upgrade. Additionally, he had to upgrade the Cultivation Techniques along with it. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t take much stress about it and checked the four secondary cultivation techniques collected from the Starlight Library. ¡®Ding, Secondary Cultivation Techniques: 1) Starlight Rapid Fists (level 1), (Attack). 2) Starlight Steps (level 1), (Movement). 3) Starlight Golden Armour (level 1), (Defence). 4) Starlight Severing Sword Strike (level 1) (Weapon). ¡®I think I know which Cultivation technique I need to upgrade.¡¯ After seeing the list of the secondary cultivation techniques, Leo slightly smiled as he thought of something. ¡®Once my dantian is full, I will upgrade it.¡¯ Since Leo had already decided which secondary cultivation technique he had to upgrade, he closed the interface. ¡®System, can I upgrade my Main Cultivation Technique [Special Starlight Refining Technique] using the Starlight Energy?¡¯ Since his main cultivation technique was only a [Bronze Grade] and it already gives good active and passive Starlight Energy, Leo wanted to upgrade it further to get even more units of Starlight Energy per hour. At that time, Leo could upgrade its cultivation and cultivation techniques very easily. ¡®Ding, The host was able to upgrade his cultivation and the cultivation techniques because of the Main Cultivation Technique. ¡®Ding, The host can¡¯t upgrade the Main Cultivation technique by using its effect. Please find a way to upgrade it. ¡®So, it was because of the [Special Starlight Cultivation Technique].¡¯ Until now, Leo thought he was able to upgrade his cultivation using Starlight Energy because of the system; however, he was a little surprised to learn the truth. ¡®I wonder why the [Starlight Library] gave me such a valuable cultivation technique when there was a tribe full of Starlight people?¡¯ Leo thought about it; however, he could not find the reason, and even the system didn¡¯t say making. In the end, Leo shook his head and stopped wasting his time thinking about it as he had other things to do. ¡®The world assessment ising; I need to speed up my ns.¡¯ Since he had fully recovered both physically and mentally, Leo stood up from his bed. Even though he needed Starlight Energy to upgrade his cultivation and the cultivation technique, Leo no longer cultivated because he had fully recovered. As for upgrading the cultivation, he would let Starlight Energy umte in his body passively and use it to upgrade his cultivation technique until his world¡¯s World Assessment finished. ¡®My Floating City will reach Starlight City in two days. I have to enter the [God Ruins] and finish exploring it in those two days.¡¯ Besides exploring the [God Ruins], Leo had two things to do in Starlight City. Therefore he decided to wrap the things inside the [God Ruins] within two days. ¡®Should I bring some followers into the [God Ruins] with me?¡¯ After informing the city manager, Selphie, Leo was about to leave the Golden Hawk city to enter the [God Ruins] in the Uncleared Land of the Starlight City. However, he suddenly thought of something when he looked at some Beast/Monster followerszing in the city. ¡°Victor,¡± Leo thought about it and called the Shadow Vampire King. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, a shadow materialized into a handsome young man, who respectfully called Leo ¡°Master.¡± ¡°I will take those three monsters to the [God Ruins] for a few days. If you have other ns for them, forget what I asked.¡± Even though Leo could order and take the three monster leaders under Victor¡¯smand, Leo didn¡¯t want to disrupt Victor¡¯s ns. ¡°Even though I have some special training for them in the [Uncleared Lands] after a few days, it¡¯s alright! Compared to my special training, entering the [God Ruins] might give more boost in their strength.¡± Victor thought about it and respectfully replied to Leo. In a [God Ruins], if someone was lucky, they might be a supreme-ranked hero overnight. Since Leo was nning to bring his followers into the [God Ruins], Victor was more than happy and agreed. ¡°You can go back and do whatever you are doing.¡± Leo smiled slightly and nodded before calling the three Monster/ Beast leaders. ¡®Since the otherworldly beings that saved this world in the past don¡¯t belong solely to the human race, it is better to take other races along with me.¡¯ ¡®Moreover, the [God Ruins] were left by them; there might be a few things for the Monsters and the Beasts in the [God Ruins] who becamepanions with the humans.¡¯ Leo had reasons for taking the three rank 9 monster/ Beast leaders along with him. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead] has sessfullypleted its mutation. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Absolute Devour] has sessfully upgraded to Supreme ss. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (712 / 750). Chapter 294 [Undead Summoner] Since the Floating City moves much slower than him, Leo decided to move ahead and enter the [God Ruins] along with his three monster/beast followers. Of course, he brought Lionel, the little ming lion, and Skye, the scouting ming lion along with him, and as for Sutin, he was already a level 8 supreme-ranked beast hero and there were almost no [God Ruins] that would benefit him, Therefore, he didn¡¯t bring the Terra Tyrant Minotaur and let him continue resting in the Gold Hawk city, hoping that the Hall of the Beasts would help him even a little. ¡®The [God Ruins] must be somewhere around here.¡¯ Following the instructions on the map, Leo reached the Uncleared Land surrounding the Starlight City within less than an hour. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Call of the Undead] has sessfullypleted its mutation. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s talent [Absolute Devour] has sessfully upgraded to Supreme ss. While searching for the traces of the hidden [God Ruins], Leo suddenly received two system notifications. ¡®Finally, the mutation and upgradation of [Call of the Undead] and [Absolute Devour] finished at the same time.¡¯ Leo let his followers search for the [God Ruins] while he checked the changes in the two talents with excitement. One was a special talent and the other was a super special talent. So, obviously, no one could control their excitement to check them and Leo was also no exception.. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Undead Summoner (Supreme Grade). Talent Type: Super Special. Effect: 1) The user can turn all beings he killed into undead beings. 2) The user can give sentience to ten undead beings under him that could increase its strength with time and fights. (1/10). 3) The user can revive the sentient undead beings; however, with each revival, the penalty increases. Note: 1) The host can raise as many undead beings as possible; however, depending on the number and the strength of the undead beings, the failure rate also increases. 2) The host can store all his undead summons in a separate dimension where only undead beings could survive. Special Effect: When the sentient undead beings reach a certain level of intelligence and power, they can be turned into living beings again. Leo checked the changes in the [Call of the Undead] first and soon, a screen with full information appeared before him, making him surprised. ¡®[Call of the Undead] became [Undead Summoner] that could not only give the sentience to the undead beings but he could also turn them into living beings.¡¯ The change of the talent name was a big surprise for him because only for huge changes, there would be a change in the talent name. However, the nature of the effects almost remained the same with quite a huge upgrade in its second effect. ¡®I can give sentience to ten undead beings instead of two. I have to find some powerful beasts and monsters to turn them into my sentient undead beings.¡¯ Since there was only one month before the world assessment starts, Leo decided not to be picky and to find some powerful undead monsters and beasts. ¡®Besides that, another major change was the ¡®Talent Type¡¯. It upgraded from special to super special.¡¯ Leo raised his brows and asked the system, ¡®System, why there is no level beside the supreme grade of the talent?¡¯ Before the mutation in the [Call of the Undead], the talent was at level 2 supreme grade; however, the system didn¡¯t show at what level the talent was in the supreme grade. Hence, he asked the system whether there was any particr reason behind it. ¡®Ding, There won¡¯t be any level ssification for the ¡®Super Special Talents¡¯ from the Supreme Grade. ¡®What? No levels?¡¯ Leo frowned and asked, ¡®What happens if one of my Super Special Talent upgrades from Supreme-Grade to Legend-Grade?¡¯ Since Leo had already learned about the next grade after the Supreme Grade, he asked the system with the assumption that he would be a Legend-Grade Hero. ¡®Ding, Yes. The host¡¯s assumption is right; however, it is not an easy thing to upgrade a Super Special Talent to a Legend Grade. ¡®Ding, Those talents can be upgraded only when the host fulfills the hidden requirements or some other special methods. ¡®Even though bing a legend grade hero makes me powerful, for the uing assessment, it is a disadvantage. So, thinking about it is just a waste of time.¡¯ From the system, Leo had already learned that if a Legend-Grade being appears during the world assessment, it would only increase the difficulty of the world assessment. Moreover, the ancient voice who seemed like he had a grudge against the human race, would definitely use that opportunity to raise the difficulty of the world assessment by many times. Therefore, he stopped thinking about it and checked the information on his [Absolute Devour]. ¡®Ding, Talent Name: Absolute Devour (Supreme-Grade). Talent Type: Super Special. Effect: 1) The user can consume all beings that were killed by him and recover his energy. Special Effect (Passive): The Devil¡¯s mouth on the user¡¯s palm would cough out a Talent/Skill Crystal that consists of one of the talents of the beings consumed by it. Note: 1) The special effect triggers randomly and the chances of being triggered are very low. 2) The chances will be increased if the strength of the being that was consumed by the user was high. 3) The Talent/Skill Crystals can be given to other humans without any restraint. ¡®Th¡­this is¡­isn¡¯t this a little too over-powered?¡¯ Leo rubbed his eyes and checked whether he was seeing things after traveling between the worlds. There was only one effect and one special effect and the nature of the talent remained the same; however, he would not get talent or skill directly like before. Instead, he would receive the Talent/Skill crystals which he could use for himself or give it to others. ¡®As of now, I can only give those Talent/Skill crystals to other humans but they are useless to my beast or monster followers.¡¯ Whenever he saw the changes in his talents and skills, Leo did not just be excited about the upgrades; instead, he would also think of the limitations of the talent. So that he could make good use of the talent without any regrets. ¡®If I can¡¯t give the Talent/Skill crystals to my beast or monster followers, I will use my [Talent Blessing Abilty] exclusively for them.¡¯ Since he thought about the limitations of the talents, Leo came up with a solution where he decided to use [Talent Blessing Abilty] exclusively for his Monster and Beast followers. ¡®Overall, with these two Super Special Talents, I can continue to be more powerful.¡¯ With his talent [Undead Summoner], he could create sentient undead beings along with arge undead army and with help of his [Absolute Devour], he could strengthen all his human followers, friends, and family. ¡®It looks like I have to start massacres soon.¡¯ The only way to make good use of these two super special talents was by killing. The more he kills, the more undead beings he could raise and the more corpses he could devour to get the Talent/Skill crystals. ¡°Sir Leo, I found the entrance to the [God Ruins].¡± Suddenly, the scouting ming lion¡¯s words resounded from a distance, making Leoe out of his thoughts. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (712 / 750). Chapter 295 [Bonus chapter] Beast Gargoyle ¡®I hope there are some powerful targets inside the [God Ruins].¡¯ Leo muttered to himself and went towards the rank 9 ming lion. While creating the [God Ruins], the Otherworld beings sealed some monsters and mutated beasts inside. After more than a century, the number of monsters and mutated beasts inside would be multiplied without a doubt. Therefore, Leo hoped there would be some powerful monsters and mutated beasts and at the same time, he also hoped there would be as many as possible. ¡®Since I can¡¯t travel to the other worlds until next month, I can only farm my talents and create my undead army along with collecting as many Talent/Skill crystals as possible through the [God Ruins].¡¯ Whilepleting his tasks, Leo decided to search for more [God Ruins] in the [Uncleared Lands] Only the [Uncleared Lands] were not explored by the human heroes and the monsters and beasts could not open them even if they found them because the otherworld beings left a seal allowing only humans to open the [God Ruins]. That was also the reason why Skye called Leo the moment he noticed a small ck-coloured pir that was buried in the ground. ¡°Oh. So, it was here all along.¡± Leo was surprised to see that he had already checked there earlier for the entrance to the [God Ruins]; however, it was deeply buried. ¡°It looks like your talent is quite useful for scouting and exploration.¡± The reason why Skye was able to find the buried ck-coloured pir was because of his talent. ¡°I am happy that I am being useful.¡± Unlike Lionel, Arlo, or Sutin, Skye didn¡¯t have strength, bloodline, or background. So, he was eager to prove his worth and didn¡¯t want to freeload the benefits from Leo.. ¡°Hm¡± Leo nodded and ced his hands on the buried pir¡¯s top. ¡®Ding, Detected the entrance to the [God Ruins]. Do you want to open it? ¡®Yes.¡¯ It was not Leo¡¯s first time entering the [God Ruins], so he knew what he was doing and nodded. ¡®Rumble¡¯ Soon, the buried ck-coloured pir rose from the ground and turned into a huge entrance. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste any time and entered with his followers. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After Leo and his followers, a silhouette rushed into the [God Ruins] as though he was waiting for the entrance to the [God Ruins] to be open. ¡°Hurry up and inform his majesty that b*stard entered the [God Ruins].¡± In the distance, two devil-like monsters with horns and wings pointed at the entrance of the [God Ruins] and ordered the simr-looking monsters behind them. ¡°We can¡¯t hold the entrance open for very long. As for the remaining, hunt that b*stard before his majesty arrives. Go now.¡± They gritted their teeth and urged the monsters behind. ¡°Yes.¡± Soon, one of the monsters went deeper into the Uncleared Land whereas the remaining dozen monsters entered the [God Ruins]. ¡­.. Inside the [God Ruins], ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A portal opened as Leo walked out of it along with his followers in the same location. ¡®Roar¡¯ The moment Leo and his followers entered, they heard a powerful roar from the distance. ¡°It looks like we are being weed much faster than I expected.¡± The roar might have scared other participants; however, Leo treated the angry roar as a wee roar. ¡°You four work together and you only have one goal: Survive.¡± Leo ordered the cial Imp, Sun Naga, Fury Golem and the Scouting ming Lion to stay together and gave them a task to survive no matter what they had to do. ¡°Yes, Master Leo.¡± Leo was their master¡¯s master. Moreover, he was much stronger than them and their master. So, of course, they were very respectful to Leo. ¡°Skye, they will be depending on your scouting and exploration talent. You find the treasures while they take care of the beasts or monsters guarding the treasure.¡± After finishing his words, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he summoned [Golden Wyvern Wings] and flew in the direction where a powerful roar came from. Of course, the Lion Cub was sitting on his shoulders while looking forward to the adventure. Since Lionel was his responsibility, Leo didn¡¯t want Lionel to take an unnecessary risk because he was only a few months old. As for the four monsters and beasts, they were old and had enough strength to survive in the [God Ruins]. ¡®From the roar of that beast, I can tell it is definitely a supreme-grade beast. I wonder what level of supreme-grade beast it is.¡¯ Leo was quite excited to meet a supreme-grade beast in the [God Ruins] that moment he entered it. ¡°Damn it¡­how did we encounter a supreme-grade beast the moment we enter the [God Ruins]?¡± ¡°It is all because of that b*stard. He must have used his talent.¡± ¡°We should have waited for his Majesty instead of chasing after that b*stard.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of cursing him now? Let¡¯s figure out a way to kill that beast.¡± A group of devil-like creatures with devil wings and horns was fighting a huge supreme-rank beast. However, those groups of devil-like creatures only have the strength of rank 9 and obviously, they don¡¯t have a chance of defeating it. ¡®Gargoyles?¡¯ However, Leo instantly recognized them when he saw the devil-like creatures with a frown. ¡®When did they enter the [God Ruins]? I opened it just a few moments back and they had already arrived and were fighting a supreme-ranked beast.¡¯ Leo could tell from their conversation that they entered the [God Ruins] just now which means the only possibility was after him because Leo entered the moment the entrance to the [God Ruins] was opened. ¡®They were chasing someone? I wonder who it was?¡¯ Leo was curious about the one they were chasing someone; however, he didn¡¯t see anyone close by. So, he came up with a n in no time. ¡®Time to put on the mask.¡¯ He took out his blood-coloured mask from the storage ring and put it on his face. ¡®War God¡¯s Battle Axe¡¯ In the next second, a huge ck-coloured battle axe appeared in his hand, and jumped forward. [Titan Strike] Just as the huge supreme-ranked beast was about to kill one of the Gargoyles, Leo teleported in front of that rank 9 Gargoyle and struck at the beast. ¡®Growl¡¯ The supreme-ranked beast was shocked by Leo¡¯s sudden appearance and wanted to dodge the iing battle-axe. ¡®Kacha¡¯ However, Leo was a little faster andnded the weapon skill from his supreme-ranked battle axe. ¡®Thud¡¯ The supreme-ranked beast didn¡¯t release any roar or growl as it fell to the ground with a loud sound. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked Fire Behemoth. Gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. Soon, he received the system notification in his head as he turned around to look at the dozen Gargoyles who had mixed emotions in their eyes. ¡°Talent Swallowing Hero?¡± At first, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of a human that saved them; however, when they saw the blood-coloured mask, they were shocked as they recognized the identity of the human who saved them. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to say thank you for saving your lives?¡± Leo asked them in a cold voice which sent shivers to the Gargoyles. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (712 / 750). Chapter 296 Beast Gargoyle King A few kilometers away from the [God Ruins], ¡°What did you say? He entered into the [God Ruins]?¡± A huge Beast Gargoyle¡¯s eyes shone with a red light as he asked his subordinates, ¡°It looks like luck is on my side today. Not only that b*stard is inside the [God Ruins], but the entrance of the [God Ruins] that I have been waiting for, has been opened.¡± Soon, the Beast Gargoyle King revealed a beastly smile as he thought his waiting had been paid off. As one of the Supreme-ranked Monsters who established his own territory in the Uncleared Land, the Beast Gargoyle King had found the entrance to the [God Ruins] a while back. However, since the Monsters and the Mutated Beasts could not open the entrance to the [God Ruins], the Beast Gargoyle King could only wait for one of the humans to open it. That¡¯s why he even put a few beast gargoyles to secretly observe it and the moment the entrance to the [God Ruins] opens, they should use their skills to keep the entrance open until he arrives. However, who would have thought that someone he wanted to capture rushed into the [God Ruins] to hide? If it was not Luck what is it? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Without any hesitation, the Beast Gargoyle King picked a dozen rank 9 Beast Gargoyles along with dozens of rank 8 and rank 7 Beast Gargoyles and rushed towards the entrance of the [God Ruins]. The more Beast Gargoyles he brings into the [God Ruins], the sooner he could find the treasure and the b*stard he wanted to capture. Therefore, he was bringing half of his high-level subordinates into the [God Ruins]. ¡­... Inside the [God Ruins], ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to say thank you for saving your lives?¡± Leo asked them in a cold voice which sent shivers to the Gargoyles. ¡°Thank you, Talent Swallowing Hero¡± Nevertheless, Leo¡¯s words made theme out of their thoughts as they hurriedly thanked Leo before saving their lives. They knew the Talent Swallowing Hero was different from the other humans who kill the mutated beasts and the monsters as soon as they see them. ording to what they know, other than Manticores, the Talent Swallowing Hero didn¡¯t bother to kill the monsters and the mutated beasts unless they provoked him first. Moreover, there was also a rumour that he would asionally save the monsters and mutated beasts. ¡®It looks like the rumour was right!¡¯ The dozen rank 9 Beast Gargoyles felt lucky and grateful that the entrance to the [God Ruins] was opened by the Talent Swallowing Hero. If it was any other human, they would have waited until that Supreme-ranked beast killed them before taking action. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Growl¡¯ As the Beast Gargoyles were in their thoughts about the Talent Swallowing Hero, they heard roars and growls of the beasts from the distance. ¡°Sh*t. That b*stard is definitely nning to kill us.¡± ¡°What should we do now? From the roars and growls alone, those beasts seemed like they were of supreme rank.¡± ¡°Those beasts will hunt us down no matter where we run. We have to find a way to survive.¡± The Beast Gargoyles were scared and they knew they could not escape from the iing supreme-ranked beasts. Soon, they looked at the masked hero and decided to risk asking for help from him. Even though the Talent Swallowing Hero saved them once, they knew it was not guaranteed that he would save them again and again. ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero, can you please help us in killing those Supreme-ranked beasts?¡± One of the Beast Gargoyles asked after some hesitation. ¡°Help you in killing? I didn¡¯t hear you clearly?¡± Leo asked Beast Gargoyle in a cold voice, making the other Beast Gargoyles shiver. ¡°Yes. Please help¡­.¡± ¡®Pak¡¯ Before the Beast Gargoyle could finish his words, another Beast Gargoyle pped the first Beast Gargoyle¡¯s head and said, ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero, please protect us. We will ask our majesty to repay you in some way or the other.¡± ¡°Today, I am in a good mood. So, I will help you.¡± Leo smiled under his mask as he agreed to protect them. ¡°Thank you, Sir Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± They heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Leo agreed to protect them with a simple line. Even though they thought the Talent Swallowing Hero had other thoughts in protecting them, the Beast Gargoyles didn¡¯t bother much about it and decided to take his protection. ¡®It looks like my n is going smoothly.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his mind as he looked at the iing horde of the Monsters and Beasts from the distance. Just like the Beast Gargoyles thought, Leo was not protecting them out of kindness; instead, he had other ns. Initially, Leo thought he would be wasting his time in searching for each monster and beast; however, learning that whoever these Beast Gargoyles were chasing had the ability to curse his enemies, Leo¡¯s interest piqued. ¡®I will find out who they were chasing after I take care of these iing Supreme-ranked monsters and beasts.¡¯ Since Leo wanted to increase his undead army while using [Absolute Devour] to condense some Talent/Skill Crystals for himself and his followers, Leo wanted the Beast Gargoyles to be alive. In his eyes, the Beast Gargoyles are the baits for him and he had to protect them until all the beasts and monsters in the [God Ruins] were killed. [Absolute Devour] Leo was not worried about showcasing his ability to devour the corpse through his left palm in front of the Beast Gargoyles. ¡®Munch¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host devoured a Fire Behemoth using [Absolute Devour]. After the talent [Absolute Devour] upgraded to Supreme-grade, Leo could devour the corpses from a distance and the devouring speed was also so fast that it took less than five seconds for the Devil Mouth to devour the huge behemoth. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Seeing that scene, the Beast Gargoyles swallowed as they kept some distance away from the Talent Swallowing Hero. Even though they already have kinds of rumors about the Talent Swallowing Hero, they finally saw how scary the Talent Swallowing Hero rally was. Such a huge Fire Behemoth was consumed by him in less than five seconds, they were only one meter in height, and it won¡¯t even take a second for the Talent Swallowing Hero to devour them. That¡¯s what they thought in their heads. ¡®Cough¡¯ After a few seconds, the devil¡¯s mouth coughed a small red-coloured crystal. ¡®What? Getting a talent/skill crystal on the first beast I consumed?¡¯ Leo was surprised when he saw the crystal; however, he didn¡¯t bother to check it and stored it in the storage ring before focusing on the iing beasts and monsters. ¡°Let¡¯s start the massacre.¡± Soon, Leo started his war god¡¯s battle axe and started killing them while the Beast Gargoyles hid behind Leo. ¡®Shall we start searching for him?¡¯ ¡®Idiot. Do you think it is a good idea? The moment we leave the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s side, we will be hunted again.¡¯ Even though they wanted to search for their target, the Beast Gargoyles didn¡¯t dare to leave Leo¡¯s side. ¡­.. ¡®Who is a human helping them?¡¯ From afar, a pair of eyes watched Leo anxiously. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (725 / 750). Chapter 297 Otherwordly Merchant [Nether Domain] Leo activated his supreme-ranked talent that instantly decreased the battle prowess of the iing Supreme-ranked monsters and beasts by 21 percent. Moreover, with the addition of his title [Supreme Killer], all his attacks contained 10 percent additional damage. Therefore, all Leo needed to do was simply swing his battle-axe and the iing supreme-ranked being would be killed without any difficulty. ¡®Ding, The host has killed 4 supreme-ranked beasts and gained four [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed them. ¡®Ding, The host used [Undead Summoner] to raise the corpse as undead beings. . . . Time continued to pass and in a sh, Leo killed nearly 30 level 1 supreme-ranked and hundreds of rank 9 monsters and beasts. Among which, Leo turned all the rank 9 beast corpses into undead beings whereas the supreme-ranked corpses were consumed by him. ¡®From the 30 level 1 supreme-ranked beasts, I was able to retrieve two talent/skill crystals. It looks like the probability of getting the talent/skill crystals is higher than I thought.¡¯ Leo silently thought before looking at the Beast Gargoyles. ¡®I think that¡¯s the end of the monsters and beasts in the [God Ruins]. I can go and collect the treasures now.¡¯ Unlike the [Treause Lands] where there were levels or trials to enter the [Treasure Room], there were no such things in the [God Ruins]. For every treasure, a powerful beast or monster along with their minions guard them, and only after defeating them, one could be the owner of the treasure. Since no beast or monsters were rushing at the Beast Gargoyles, Leo thought there were not many beasts or monsters in this [God Ruins]. Hence, he thought it would be a piece of cake for him to retrieve those treasures. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully clearing the [God Ruins]. Do you want to leave it? Soon, Leo received the system notification and he was not surprised because it was not his first time. Moreover, all the treasures left behind by the creator of the [God Ruins] were still here. Why would he leave the [God Ruins] so soon? ¡®Before that, I have to find something.¡¯ Also, there was something else Leo was curious about as he looked at the Beast Gargoyles and asked, ¡°Now, are you going to tell me who you are searching for?¡± Since there were no more monsters or beastsing at them, Leo decided to ask about the ¡®B*stard¡¯ that the Beast Gargoyles were chasing for. ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero, we are very grateful that you protected us; however, we can¡¯t¡­.¡± . ¡®Boom¡¯ Before that Beast Gargoyle could finish his words, a fireball sted him into nothingness. ¡°What about you? Are you going to tell me and leave the [God Ruins] or do you want to go and meet your friend?¡± Pointing at the location where the Beast Gargoyle turned into nothing, Leo asked the remaining Beast Gargoyles. ¡®I think it¡¯s better to leave the [God Ruins].¡¯ ¡®Since all the beasts and monsters in the [God Ruins] were killed, that b*stard would be kicked out eventually after a specific time.¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s better to get scolded by His Majesty rather than dying in the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s hands.¡¯ The Beast Gargoyles have various thoughts in their minds; however, everyone¡¯s end goal was the same which was to leave the [God Ruins]. All the participants in the [God Ruins] whether it was a human, beast, or a monster, once the [God Ruins] was cleared, could leave the [God Ruins] whenever they wanted. Soon, they looked at each other and knew what everyone was thinking, and nodded. ¡°Huh?¡± However, in the next second, they realized that they could not leave the [God Ruins], and soon, they saw their legs stuck in the ground. ¡°Looks like you realized that you can¡¯t leave the [God Ruins].¡± On the other hand, Leo revealed a slight smile and slowly walked toward them. ¡®Puchi¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ [Absolute Devour] Leo killed three Beast Gargoyles without asking anything as he slowly devoured them in front of the other Beast Gargoyles. ¡°Do you mind telling me about that so-called B*stard now?¡± After devouring the corpses, Leo looked at the remaining Beast Gargoyles and asked them with an evil smile under his mask. ¡°We are chasing after an injured Otherworldly Merchant.¡± After witnessing how their fellow Beast Gargoyles were killed and eaten right in front of their eyes, the other Beast Gargoyles were scared. Soon, they started saying everything to Leo without hiding anything. ¡®Otherworldly Merchant?¡¯ Leo raised his brows. ¡®Ding, The otherworldly merchants are the merchants that would collect the items from higher-grade worlds and sell them in the lower-grade worlds at huge profits. ¡®Ding, However, they have to follow many rules and regtions and could only sell their items to a limited number of people. Before he could ask the Beast Gargoyles about the ¡®Otherworldly Merchant¡¯, he received the information about the ¡®Otherworldy Merchants¡¯ from the system. ¡®Oh. Someone like that exists?¡¯ It was Leo¡¯s first time hearing about such existence and was a little surprised. ¡°How did he get injured? Did you injure them?¡± Soon, Leo returned to his cold self and asked the Beast Gargoyles with a slightly serious voice. Even though Leo didn¡¯t know what type of items or things these so-called Otherworldly Merchants sell, he felt they were quite useful for a gradeless world. If a few humans buy a few things from the Otherworldly Merchants, it would definitely increase the strength of his world and they might be quite useful for the uing world assessment. ¡®However, if these b*stards injured an Otherworldly Merchant, then why would the other Otherwordly Merchants bother toe to their world in the future?¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s mind as he asked them. ¡°We didn¡¯t injure them, He appeared in our territory out of nowhere with a body full of injuries and our King recognized him as the Otherwordly Merchant.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! That b*stard has some unique escaping skills.¡± ¡°Not only did he put some kind of curse on us that would attract all the monsters and beasts around the territory, but he could also even temporarily turn invisible.¡± ¡°But thanks to our King who left his scent on him. We were tracking him for a few days and just when we were about to capture him, he rushed into the [God Ruins] opened by you, Sir Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± One Beast Gargoyle after another narrated the entire story to Leo of how they encountered the Otherworldy Merchant and what he did to them and why they were chasing him¡­everything. ¡®Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check. Just the Beast Gargoyles finished their narration, and Leo received a system notification in his head, making him reveal a slight smile. ¡®Is it about saving the Otherworld Merchant?¡¯ Leo guessed about the mission and checked it. ¡®What the¡­¡¯ However, after reading the information on the interface that appeared before him, Leo frowned because this was not what he was expecting. ¡®From when did the system start generating such random missions irrespective of the current situation?¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t understand but still continued reading it. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (725 / 750). Chapter 298 Mission Name: Mighty Supreme Until now, the system had generated the missions based on the events that were happening around. Hence, he was a little surprised to see a mission that waspletely out of his expectations. ¡®Ding, Mission Name: Mighty Supreme. Objective: The host has to have 10 supreme-grade talents on his Talent List. Mission Progress: (3 / 10). Rewards: Hidden. Note: 1) The sooner the host finishes the mission, the higher the reward will be. 2) Depending on the Talent-type of those 10 supreme-grade talents, the reward will be upgraded. Try to upgrade as many special-type talents as possible in that list of 10. ¡®The system is telling me to focus on upgrading my talents; however, the thing is, even without the system mission, I will be doing that.¡¯ Leo revealed a slight smile and continued thinking, ¡®Nevertheless, since it will be providing me a reward, I will just focus on it.¡¯ For the uing World Assessment, the more supreme-grade talents he has, the better it will be for him. Therefore, Leo was nning to do that even without the system mission. However, since the system was generous in giving a reward for him, Leo didn¡¯t mind taking it. ¡°Then can you find him in the [God Ruins]? If so, point in the direction the Otherworldly Merchant is hiding.¡± ording to the Beast Gargoyles, their king has left his scent on the Otherworldly Merchant. Hence, Leo asked them to point in the direction. ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero, can you release us? We can find the Otherworldly Merchant for you instead of just pointing the direction.¡± However, no Beast Gargoyles pointed in the direction; instead, one of the Beast Gargoyles asked Leo to release them and suggested that they would guide him to the Otherworldly Merchant. ¡°It looks like you can¡¯t find the Otherwordly Merchant with the scent left behind by your King.¡± Leo looked at the Beast Gargoyles for a moment and came to that conclusion. He could tell that the moment he released them from the ground, they would escape from the [God Ruins] without any hesitation. Moreover, those Beast Gargoyles looked like they were unable to sense the Otherworldly Merchant and only their King might be able to find the Otherworld Merchant. ¡°Since I have no use for you, there is no need for you to be alive.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to waste his time on the Beast Gargoyles as he used [Spatial Triple sh] to kill them. [Undead Summoner ¨C raise my undead]. Soon, he turned them into his undead army before sending them to the Undead Space. ¡°I don¡¯t know where you are but I can tell you can hear me.¡± After storing his Undead Summons in the Undead Space, Leo thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Since you are an Otherworldly Merchant and came to this gradeless world, your goal must be to sell some items from the higher grade worlds, right?¡± There was no response from the other side; however, Leo didn¡¯t feel disappointed as he continued, ¡°So, why don¡¯t youe forward and sell the items you are holding.¡± ¡°As a merchant, you must be able to tell whether someone could afford to buy your items or not. If you trust me, show yourselves before I collect all the treasures in the [God Ruins].¡± As soon as he finished his words, Leo didn¡¯t bother to waste his time waiting for the injured Otherworldly Merchant; instead, he started collecting all the valuable items that were inside the [God Ruins]. ¡®What should I do now?¡¯ From a distance, a pair of eyes looked at Leo and pondered what to do after hearing his words. ¡­.. Outside the [God Ruins], ¡°Idiots, can¡¯t you even keep it open for a few more seconds?¡± The Beast Gargoyle King arrived at the entrance of the [God Ruins] as he scolded the two Beast Gargoyles that were supposed to keep the portal into the [God Ruins] open. The portal was open until the Beast Gargoyle King; however, just as he was about to enter the portal, it abruptly closed, making him frustrated. ¡°Your Majesty¡­I think someone must have cleared this [God Ruins]. That¡¯s why we were unable to keep the portal open.¡± ¡°We are sorry, your majesty but we don¡¯t have the power to open the portal to an already cleared [God Ruins].¡± The Beast Gargoyles exined the reason why the entrance closed abruptly. ¡°Already cleared?¡± The Beast Gargoyle King raised his brows and without wasting any time, he ordered, ¡°Everyone, surround the pir and stay focused. Soon, that b*stard and the b*stard who cleared the [God Ruins] wille out. Let¡¯s kill them both and take all the valuable things from them.¡± ¡°Yes, your majesty.¡± All the Beast Gargoyles behind the Beast Gargoyle King nodded and surrounded the ck Pir that represents the entrance to the [God Ruins]. The Otherworldly Merchant was known for the valuable items he carried whereas the one who cleared the [God Ruins] would be looting all the treasures inside the [God Ruins]. Therefore, the Beast Gargoyle King decided to kill them and take their items. ¡­.. Inside the [God Ruins], Time continued to pass and within twenty minutes, Leo and his followers collected all the treasures in the [God Ruins]. After taking off the Beast Gargoyles, Leo used [Telepathy] to contact his followers and asked them to act individually to collect the treasures. Since there was no danger anymore, Leo thought it would be quicker if they acted individually and collected everything in those twenty minutes. ,??m ¡°Surprisingly, there are two supreme grade eggs in this [God Ruins].¡± Leo was expecting to receive at least one or two supreme-grade items; however, to his surprise, he received a total of four supreme-grade items in the God Ruins. ¡®This [God Ruins] is the highest grade [God Ruins] I have ever visited so far.¡¯ Even though Leo had visited a could of [God Ruins] before, he didn¡¯t receive supreme-grade items. In his first [God Ruins], he received his [Arcane Silver] which was only a rank 1 weapon but it was a special weapon that could increase its rank by devouring the other weapons and artfiacts. As for his second [God Ruins], he received a special talent upgrade crystal along with a few normal talent upgrade stones with which he upgraded his [Call of Undead] to rank 9 and remaining talents to level 7 and level 8. ¡®System, show me a list of items I received from his [God Ruins].¡¯ Leo ordered the system and soon, a list of items appeared in the interface before him. ¡®Ding, 1) Supreme Grade egg x 2 (One monster and One beast). 2) Supreme Upgrade Stone x 1. 3) Small Beast Evolution Crystal x 3. 4) Small Monster Evolution Crystal x 3. 5) Hero coins x 10 million. . . 10) Book of [God Ruins]. Among the items he received from the [God Ruin], Leo was focused on only a few things that could be useful for him. ¡®I can give the eggs to Emily and Evan and with their talents, they could bring out the full potential of these beasts.¡¯ Soon, he started thinking about what he had to do with each valuable item, and finally, his eyesnded on thest time. ¡®Holy¡­¡¯ Upon seeing the information on it, Leo was shocked for a moment before bing excited. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 750 Golden Tickets (736 / 750). Chapter 299 Book of the [God Ruins] ¡®Ding, Item Name: Book of the [God Ruins]. Item Grade: None (Magical) ,??m Information: It contains detailed information about all the uncleared [God Ruins] in this world along with their exact location. More Information: One of the Otherworldly Beings felt pity for leaving the world withoutpleting their original mission in the world. The Book of the [God Ruins] can only be opened by those who want toplete the mission that was left behind by the Otherworld Beings. ¡®Holy¡­.information about all the [God Ruins] created by the Otherworldly Beings?¡¯ Leo was shocked for a moment before bing excited. Moreover, after reading the ¡®More Information¡¯, Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile and thought, ¡®Is this a coincidence that I got my hands on the Book of the [God Ruins].¡¯ Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t think much about it; instead, he opened the ancient-looking book. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Suddenly, a golden light beam shot into Leo¡¯s head. ¡®Ding, Detected some foreign information entering into the host¡¯s head. ¡®Ding, Absorbing the information into the system database and giving a summary to the host. Leo only felt a slight pain before the system directed the foreign information to who knows where to. As Leo was still in a state between shock and surprise, he received another system notification. ¡®Ding, Total Uncleared [God Ruins]: 28 / 100. Total Uncleared [Treasuure Lands]: 3 / 10. ¡®What? 72 [God Ruins] and seven [Treasure Lands] already?¡¯ Leo was shocked once again when he saw the number of cleared [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands]. From the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] left behind by the Otherworldly Beings, 70 percent of them were cleared. ¡®Among the 72 cleared [God Ruins], I entered only five whereas, among the seven cleared [Treasure Lands], I only entered one.¡¯ Leo calmed himself and thought, ¡®It looks like there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world who got quite some treasures.¡¯ Even though Leo always thought there were some powerful Heroes in the human world hiding in the shadows. However, after seeing the number of cleared [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands], Leo was underestimating the number of powerful heroes hiding in the shadows. ¡®I think I did a good thing by hiding my true identity separate from the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s identity. The leaders of those secret organizations might be more powerful and cunning than I thought.¡¯ Leo knew that like how he was secretly increasing his and his followers¡¯ strength, the leaders of the secret organizations would be doing the same. That¡¯s why he was being careful from the beginning as he hid his true identity and did all the things that offend those powerful heroes using his other identity ¡®Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯. ¡®Anyway, there is no need to waste time thinking about the past.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have a great past that he was proud of and all he wanted to do was forget about it if possible. Hence, he didn¡¯t want to think much about it. ¡®Instead, I have to focus on these uncleared [God Ruins] and [Treasure Land].¡¯ With that thought, Leo briefly checked for the closest [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Lands]. However, the system sent some other information that made Leo pleasantly surprised. ¡®Ding, ssification of the uncleared [God Ruins]: 1) Human [God Ruins]: 20. (5 supreme-ranked). 2) Beast [God Ruins]: 5. (1 supreme-ranked). 3) Monster [God Ruins]: 3. (1 supreme-ranked). Note: No matter what type of [God Ruins] it is, they can only be opened by a human. ¡®For me, only supreme-ranked [God Ruins] are useful. I will only focus on them.¡¯ Looking at the information regarding the ssification, Leo silently thought and continued, ¡®As for the below supreme-ranked [God Ruins], I will let the three Mercenary squads take care of them.¡¯ ¡®Also, Victor and dimir can clear the supreme-ranked Monster [God Ruins] and Moonlight can take care of the Beast [God Ruins].¡¯ Leo already knew the different types of the [God Ruins] and that¡¯s why he brought the Monster/Beast leaders with him to enter the [God Ruins] afraid it might be a Monster or Beast type [God Ruins]. However, the current [God Ruins] turned out to be a Human type [God Ruins]. Nevertheless, he started nning on who should clear the [God Ruins] to save both time and energy. ¡®If everyone works, not only they will be stronger in a short span but we can clear all the [God Ruins] before others could find them.¡¯ Leo decided to change the ns for his followers and let them clear the [God Ruins]. Compared to the training in the wilderness, by clearing the [God Ruins], they could not only increase their strength but they could also get rewarded for clearing the [God Ruins]. Even if it was not a [Supreme-ranked God Ruins], for those who were yet to be the supreme-ranked heroes, it would be quite useful because Leo was able to increase his strength through the [God Ruins]. ¡®This human looks powerful and quite rich for a gradeless world. Should I just ask for his help?¡¯ On the other hand, a pair of eyes continued to watch Leo and still thinking about its decision whether to trust Leo or not. As for Leo, even though he was quite interested in trading with the Otherworldly Merchant, there was nothing he could do if the other party was not trusting him. Moreover, he had a system that would reward him with valuable things and treasures. Therefore, he didn¡¯t bother looking for the Otherworldy Merchant and focused on his own things. ¡®Even though I found only one Fragment of the God Stone, I found some good items along with an invaluable item ¡®Books of the [God Ruins]¡¯. This [God Ruins] is much better than my previous [God Ruins].¡¯ Leo thought as he checked the brief information on the items he received from the [God Ruins]. ¡®Ding, Item name: Small Monster Evolution Crystal. Use: Any monster below the supreme rank can consume it to undergo an evolution; however, the evolution of the monster was not 100 percent guaranteed. ¡®Ding, Item name: Small Beast Evolution Crystal. Use: Any beast below the supreme rank can consume it to undergo an evolution; however, the evolution of the beast was not 100 percent guaranteed. ¡®Since I have three crystals for each of them, I can help three monsters and three beasts undergo an evolution.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have to think much because he already had a few monsters and beasts to whom he wanted to give these crystals. ¡°Sun Naga, since you are a mutated beast, use this Small Beast Evolution Crystal to evolve.¡± Originally, Sun Naga was a native beast of the human world; however, after the changes in the world, it became a mutated beast and became a Sun Naga. So, Leo gave a small beast evolution crystal and as for the remaining two, they were monsters that were sent to this world after their worlds failed the world assessment. ¡°cial Imp and Fury Golem, you can use these Small Monster Evolution Crystals to evolve.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± They thanked Leo from the bottom of their heart because there were other monsters and beasts under Leo. Among them, Leo chose them. So, of course, they were grateful. ¡°Human, I need a ce to stay for at least seven days.¡± Suddenly, a cute voice came from his side and turning his head, Leo saw a one-meter tall cute panda with a white-coloured bag on its back. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (748 / 800). Chapter 300 [Bonus chapter] Cute Panda The panda looked cute with ck and white fur and the bag on its back had mysterious symbols. The cute panda was none other than the Otherwordly Merchant that the Beast Gargoyles were chasing after. ¡°Human, I need a ce to stay for at least seven days.¡± The panda walked like a human as it asked Leo for a ce to stay for at least seven days. It had pondered for a long time before deciding to trust Leo. However, it didn¡¯t trust Leo fully yet and it was ready to escape the moment it sensed danger from Leo. ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was a little surprised at the sudden appearance of a cute panda because he didn¡¯t sense it until it spoke those words. Nevertheless, he guessed the identity of the cute panda after seeing the mysterious bag on its back and a huge bloodied cut on its chest. ¡®Ding, Identity: Otherworldly Merchant (Supreme-rank). Code Name: Cute Panda. Strength: None. Information: A special blessed being that could travel between gradeless worlds and grade 1 worlds to sell the items for profits. Soon, the system sent Leo a piece of brief information about the panda in front of him, making him nod. ¡°Sure. Let¡¯s go.¡± Since the other party was trusting him, Leo decided to take the panda back to his floating city before talking about trading. Moreover, Leo had already looted the [God Ruins] and it would kick them out soon. Therefore, Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as left the [God Ruins] along with his followers. Of course, Leo tried to heal the cute panda¡¯s injury; however, the cute panda said that his injuries can¡¯t be healed by talents or skills. ¡°All I need is a quiet ce to rest and this injury will heal on its own.¡± The cute panda informed Leo about how its injury would be healed and Leo also nodded. ¡®I thought it would take at least two days to clear the [God Ruins]; however, I cleared this [God Ruins] in less than three hours.¡¯ Before leaving the [God Ruins], Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile under his mask and continued thinking, ¡®I can go back and let my followers take care of a [God Ruin] each.¡¯ ording to his initial n, he would be clearing the [God Ruins] in two days and by the time his floating city reaches Starlight City, he wouldplete the things he nned to do in the city. However, he got enough time on his hands to n for the mass exploration of all the uncleared [God Ruins] in this world. ¡­.. Outside the [God Ruins], ¡®Swoosh¡¯ A ck pir shone brightly which alerted the Beast Gargoyle King and his minions who were waiting for those who cleared the [God Ruins]. Soon, a portal appeared in the ck pir as Leo and his followers along with the cute panda walked out of it. ¡°Huh? So, it was the Talent Swallowing Hero who cleared the [God Ruins].¡± Since Leo was still wearing the Blood-coloured mask, the Beast Gargoyle King instantly recognized him, and at the same time, his eyesnded on the cute panda behind Leo. ¡°Yes, it is me who opened and cleared this [God Ruins]. Do you have any problem with it?¡± Leo was a little surprised to see the Beast Gargoyle King and his minions; however, when he remembered that he was chasing after the cute panda, Leo was no longer surprised. ¡°If you want to live, leave the items you received in the [God Ruins] and that panda behind you.¡± Even though Talent Swallowing Hero was known for killing the supreme-ranked beings with just rank 9 hero strength, the Beast Gargoyle King was a level 3 supreme-ranked monster. Hence, he didn¡¯t think much about the Talent Swallowing Hero whose strength was still at rank 9. Leo has set his hero rank to appear as rank 9 when he was using the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s identity. Therefore, the Beast Gargoyle King mistaken Leo¡¯s strength as rank 9 and threatened Leo to leave behind the items and the Otherworldly Merchant. ¡°What if I refuse?¡± Leo asked in a calm tone, making the Beast Gargoyle King feel something wasn¡¯t right. ¡°It looks like you are as arrogant as the rumors say. Kill him¡± . However, the Beast Gargoyle King didn¡¯t think much about it and ordered his minions to attack him while he himself rushed to Leo. ¡®Since he had the ability to kill the Supreme-ranked beings, it is better for me to deal with him personally.¡¯ This was the thought in the Beast Gargoyle King¡¯s head as he directly lunged an attack on Leo. ¡°Everyone, take care of the rank 9 and below ranked Beast Gargoyles. I will take care of their king.¡± Leo didn¡¯t stand still as he ordered his followers to attack while summoning the War God¡¯s battle axe and started fighting the Beast Gargoyle Kings. ¡®ng¡¯ Leo¡¯s battle axe and the Beast Gargoyle King¡¯s ws shed as a metallic sound redounded in the surroundings, making Leo a little surprised. ¡®It looks like he is quite powerful even among the level 3 supreme-ranked beasts. He will be a fine choice to be my sentient undead beings.¡¯ Just after a single exchange, Leo decided that the Beast Gargoyle King would be his second undead sentient being because the Beast Gargoyle King was able to block his battle-axe. There is a passive effect while using the War God¡¯s battle axe and it was that Leo could ignore the defense of level 3 supreme-ranked opponents. Since the Beast Gargoyle King was able to block the attack from the battle axe, it was clear to Leo that the Beast Gargoyle King was a suitable undead sentient being that he was searching for. ¡°How are you able to¡­.¡± Like how Leo was surprised that the Beast Gargoyle King was alive after taking a direct hit from his battle axe, the Beast Gargoyle King was also surprised at Leo. [Nether Damain] [Battle Axe Mastery] [Weapon skill ¨C Titan Strike] ¡®Puchi¡¯ However, before the Beast Gargoyle King could finish his words, Leo activated his talents before using the weapon skill to kill it. ¡®Ding, The host killed a level 3 supreme-ranked Beast Gargoyle King and gained four [Supreme Promote Points]. Leo didn¡¯t bother to check the system notification as he used his talent [Undead Summoner]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Ding, The host sessfully raised the Beast Gargoyle King from death. [Undead Summoner ¨C Blessing the sentience] Leo didn¡¯t waste time as he tried to give the sentience to the Undead Beast Gargoyle King; however, the Beast Gargoyle King¡¯s head sted off which waspletely out of Leo¡¯s expectation. ¡®Ding, The host has failed in giving the sentience to the Undead Beast Gargoyle King. ¡®So, while giving the sentience to the Undead Beings, there is still a chance of failure.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think that while giving the sentience to the Undead Beings, it would not fail. Nevertheless, other than a little disappointment, Leo was not worried much about the failure. As he could still find beasts. ¡®In the worst-case scenario, I will just kill the monsters in the world assessment and turn them into my undead beings.¡¯ With that thought, Leo and his followers returned to the Floating City, and Leo could not help but get excited to trade some items from the cute panda. **** 300th chapter reached¡­..:) **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (751 / 800). Chapter 301 Bamboo Scroll p??(?)? ?o??? In Golden Hawk City, After returning to Golden Hawk City, Leo asked the city manager to guide the cute panda into one of the guest rooms in the City Hall. ¡°Victor, assemble the mercenary squad leaders along with their main team. It¡¯s important and urgent.¡± As for Leo, he summoned the shadow vampire king and ordered him. ¡°Yes, master.¡± ¡°As for those who awakened their talent a week back, let them continue to train in the wilderness under the supervision of their respective mercenary squads.¡± Leo had already thought about his n for the mass exploration of the [God Ruins]. So, he gave one order after another to the shadow vampire king. ording to his n, first, he would meet the mercenary squad leaders and the monster/beast leaders before dividing the [God Ruins] for them to clear. After that, these leaders were in charge of forming teams in their squads in clearing the [God Ruins] allocated to them with their squad members. However, Leo would order them that no squad member should be left out in clearing the [God Ruins]. ¡°I will send my messenger bats now.¡± Soon, a small colony of bats came out of Victor¡¯s body as they spread in different directions. ¡®I should leave my telepathic imprint on them so that I can instantly contact them through my [Telepathy].¡¯ Leo silently thought about it as he entered the city hall. ¡­. In one of the rooms, the Cute Panda was resting on the bed while looking at the ceiling. ¡®Creak¡¯ The door opened as Leo entered the room. ¡°It looks like you are eager to buy the things from me.¡± The panda didn¡¯t look at Leo as it said to Leo before continuing, ¡°Anyway, in my current condition, I can only open my bag one time. So, you can only buy one item for now.¡± ¡°Only one item?¡± Leo raised his brows when he heard the panda¡¯s words before saying, ¡°It¡¯s alright. One is better than nothing.¡± ¡°Also, I am just a newly ascended Otherworldly Merchant. So, don¡¯t expect some heaven-defying items.¡± The cute panda didn¡¯t want its customers to get disappointed when they saw the items it showed. Hence, it informed Leo before summoning a bamboo scroll and giving it to Leo. ¡°Bamboo scroll?¡± Leo took the scroll and opened it with an exciting look, wondering what kind of treasures the cute panda has. ¡°What? There are only three items?¡± However, Leo frowned when he saw there were only three items on the bamboo scroll. ¡°I got a limited stipend during my trainee period. So, I could only buy a few items since it is my first official trade as a Supreme-ranked Otherworldly Merchant.¡± The cute panda was not embarrassed to state the reason why he had only three items. Moreover, it looked a little proud because, unlike the other trainee merchants, it didn¡¯t spend money on useless things and saved as much as possible to have a good start after it officially became an Otherworldly Merchant. ¡°Oh. So, you are trained to be the Otherwordly Merchant.¡± Leo was a little surprised; however, when he thought about the existence of the otherworldly beings and the ancient voice that could toy with them. Leo was no longer surprised that there was an organization that trains the otherworldly merchants. ¡®Anyway, let¡¯s see how useful these three items can be.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about the other things and focused on the items. [Avable Items] 1) Small City Upgrade Stone: It can unlock a random special building in the city or give a random effect for a city. It can only be used by city leaders who created a city. 2) Passive Citizen Experience Booster: Once activated, the experience of all the citizens resting in the city would passively increase by 100 points per minute for three hours. 3) A Grade 1 World Ticket: An item that opens the portal to a random grade 1 world and allows the user to stay seven days. ¡®Each one of these items is extremely useful to me.¡¯ After reading the information about the items that he could buy from the Otherwordly Merchant, Leo could not help but wanted to buy all of them. However, he didn¡¯t forget the panda¡¯s words that he could only pick one item because the other party didn¡¯t have the energy to bring out the three items from its bag. ¡®So far, my city only has four special buildings: The City Hall, The Hall of the Divine Gods, The Hall of the Monster Gods, and The Hall of the Bestial Gods. Each of them has its own special use.¡¯ Leo started thinking about which item he needed the most by listing out the usefulness of the three items before selecting one. ¡®ording to Selphie, she can¡¯t buy the Special Building through the city hall¡¯s pir. So, if I can get a new special building, it will increase the strength of my entire city.¡¯ Whether it was a special building or a special effect on the city, the entire city, and its citizens in it would be benefitted from it. ¡®The Passive Citizen Experience Booster can provide 100 passive experience points per minute for three hours which is equivalent to 18000 experience points.¡¯ Even though Leo felt he needed the first item, he didn¡¯t select it directly and calcted the benefits of selecting the second item. ¡®With 18000 Experience points, a rank 1 hero could nearly be a rank 5 hero. It is not for a single person but for all the citizens in the city.¡¯ From calcting the experience points received from that item per single citizen, Leo could tell a rank 1 hero would be rank 5 hero just within three hours. Moreover, his city has 122 newly awakened heroes who might have reached rank 3 after one week of training. If they get that 18000 experience points, they would be rank 6 heroes. ¡®It will give quite a good boost to my city.¡¯ Leo felt this was a little better than the first item and his eyesnded on thest time which was a grade 1 world ticket. ¡®Even though it is a good time to enter a grade 1 world for training, I have so many things to do in this world. So, I can buy thest items slowly after the panda recovers its strength.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think much about the grade 1 world ticket and pondered for a moment. ¡°By the way, there will be no restrictions for me to buy all these items from you, right?¡± Suddenly, Leo thought of something and asked the panda about it. ¡°There is no limitation on my traders and you are allowed to buy all the items from me if you have enough money.¡± The cute panda revealed a smile as it continued, ¡°Also, I will recover my strengthpletely within seven days. You can buy the remaining two items at that time.¡± ¡°I have to wait for seven days? Excellent.¡± Once he got the answers he wanted from the cute panda, Leo revealed an excited smile and said, ¡°I will buy the Small City Upgrade Stone then.¡± ¡°By the way, I still don¡¯t know how to pay. Will you take treasures from this world to trade for the items you have?¡± **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (766 / 800). Chapter 302 Small City Upgrade Stone ¡°By the way, I still don¡¯t know how to pay. Will you take treasures from this world to trade for the items you have?¡± Suddenly, Leo realized that he didn¡¯t know how the Otherwordly Merchantsplete their transactions. Therefore, Leo asked the cute panda about it. ¡°The Otherwordly Merchants mainly ept the Hero coins and Devil coins while trading with the natives of the worlds.¡± The panda exined, ¡°In some cases, we will ept some treasures that have demand in the higher-grade worlds.¡± ¡°Hero Coins and Devil Coins?¡± Leo raised his brows and thought, ¡®Is this why the Otherworldly Beings emphasized humans in collecting the Hero Metal and turning it into Hero coins?¡¯ He got a new revtion regarding the Hero Coins. Earlier, he thought the Hero Coins were only needed to buy certain things from the city hall; however, he found another use of the Hero Coins. ¡®Which means Hero Coins are widely epted in almost every world.¡¯ Leo said ¡®Almost¡¯ because he didn¡¯t see anyone use the Hero Coins in the Beas. Nevertheless, he could guess the reason. Unlike the human and humanoid worlds, the bestial worlds worked differently and the moment a treasure appears, the one with the strongest strength would take it. However, in the human and humanoid worlds, unless it was required, they would not go all out to fight with others and try to deal with words first. Of course, the humans and humanoid races also turn into beasts if the value of the treasures were high. ¡°If you tell me the prices, I will pay you.¡± Since it was Hero Coins, Leo felt quite relieved because he has nearly 100 million Hero coins. Hence, he asked the panda about the prices of each item. ¡°The prices for the three items are the same and it is 1000 Supreme Hero coins.¡± The panda didn¡¯t think much as it stated the prices for Leo and continued, ¡°Since you helped me from getting caught by the Beast Gargoyles and provided a safe ce to recover my strength. I will give you a 50 percent discount for the first item.¡± ¡°50 percent discount? So, is your life worth only 500 Supreme Hero Coins?¡± Leo thought the Otherwordly Merchant would show gratitude to him by giving one item for free. So, Leo could not help but say those words. However, he realized he should have not said those words because the other party was the first Otherwordly Merchant and a being that could travel between worlds easily. Hence, maintaining a good rtionship with such a being won¡¯t do much harm to him. ¡°Sigh¡­if not for the rules, I would have given you two items for free; however, the maximum discount I can give to my clients is 50 percent on the first item they buy.¡± The Cute Panda sighed as it looked at Leo and said, ¡°Are you going to pay in normal hero coins or Supreme hero coins?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Leo was surprised and thought, ¡®This panda is not only cute but it is very kind.¡¯ Soon, he came out of his thoughts and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t think my world can produce the Supreme Hero Coins anytime soon. So, I can only pay in Hero Coins.¡± Previously, Leo received some information from the city pir and among that pile of information, Leo learned about the Supreme Hero Coins. One Supreme Hero Coin is equivalent to 10000 Hero Coins and since the price of the item was 1000 Supreme Hero Coins, that means, the actual price in Hero Coins would be ten million. ¡°ce your hand on my hand and think about transferring five million Hero coins.¡± The panda asked Leo and he followed the panda¡¯s words and thought about transferring five million Hero Coins. The original price was 10 million Hero Coins; however, the Panda gave a 50 percent discount. ¡®Ding, Five million Hero Coins are sent to the Otherwordly Merchant. Soon, Leo got a system notification and saw the cute panda nod its head. ¡°I got the payment.¡± In the next second, the white-coloured bag beside it shone with a bright light. ¡°Here.¡± Soon after, the panda ced its hand in the shining bag and took out a small silver-coloured stone from the bag before giving it to Leo. ¡°Thank you.¡± Leo thanked the cute panda as he received the small stoe. ¡®Ding, ¡¢ Item name: Small City Upgrade Stone. Effect: 1) Small chance of blessing the city with a random but permanent effect. 2) Small chance of unlocking a random special building in the city. Limitations: 1) Only one effect can be triggered. 2) Only a city leader can use the stone. Soon, the information about the item appeared before Leo; however, Leo already knew about it. So, he didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡°I wille again after seven days. Until then, you can rest here.¡± Since the cute panda needs seven days to recover, Leo decided to finish his other things during those seven days. ¡®In the next seven days, all my citizens can be rank 4 or even rank 5. If I use the passive experience booster, they will all be advanced heroes. At the same time, I can n to enter my third grade 1 world.¡¯ Leo knew he could finish most of his smaller goals in the next seven days. So, he was prepared to enter a new grade 1 world to increase his strength. ¡®As for the system upgrade, I am not going to waste the Fragments of the God Stones to speed up the upgrade as I already have so many things to take care of.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo left the guest room and entered the core room of the city hall where the city pir and its core were situated. ¡°I hope it can unlock a new special building for my city.¡± Leo ced the small city upgrade stone in front of the pir which was swallowed by the city pir like a tasty candy. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (766 / 800). Chapter 303 Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall As soon as the city pir swallowed the small city upgrade stone, a row of text appeared on the pir. ¡®A special building? Excellent.¡¯ Between a special effect and a special building, Leo wanted a special building because a special building would give multiple special effects along with its main use. Therefore, when he saw the row of text on the pir, Leo was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly checked the details on the newly unlocked special building. Soon, two rows of text appeared on the city pir, informing Leo about the newly unlocked building. ¡®What? A recruitment hall?¡¯ Leo became curious as it was his first time hearing about the special building and thought, ¡®I wonder what type of special buildings will be unlocked in the future.¡¯ To be honest, Leo only knew two special buildings before creating his city. One was the City Hall and the other was the ¡®Hall of the Gods¡¯. However, after creating his city, Leo learned about the ¡®Hall of the Divine Gods¡¯, ¡®Hall of the Monster Gods¡¯ and the ¡®Hall of the Bestial Gods¡¯. Each special building has its own use and effects. Now, he learned about another special building that could recruit otherworld beings. So, of course, Leo was curious about the other special buildings that he would unlock in the future. As Leo was in his thoughts, another row of text appeared on the city pir, making Leoe out of his thoughts and exit the core room of the city hall. By the time Leo walked out of the city hall, he saw a stone cave with a huge entrance appear in the previously empty spot. ¡®Is this a building?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and thought, ¡®But, it is clearly a stone cave.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Special Building Name: Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall. Use: Randomly recruits an otherworldly being that bes your citizen and a native of this world. Cooldown: Seven days. Note: There are infinite worlds out there and you can easily recruit someone from those infinite worlds. After seeing the system notification, Leo confirmed the stone cave in front of him was the newly constructed special building and nodded his head. ¡®Who cares about its appearance when I recruit otherworldly beings once every week.¡¯ Whether it looks like a cave or a building or a tower, Leo didn¡¯t care. All he cared about was recruiting the otherworldly beings once every week. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, the stone cave¡¯s entrance shone with a bright light. ¡®I wonder what kind of recruit will walk out of that building.¡¯ Looking at the bright light from the stone cave, Leo could not help but think about the recruit from the Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall. ¡®Ding, The recruitment isplete. The next recruitment will be after a week. Soon, the bright light from the stone cave disappeared as Leo received a system notification; however, hisplete focus was on the entrance of the stone cave. ¡®Tap¡¯ ¡®Tap¡¯ Loud footsteps resounded from the cave and soon, Leo saw a muscr dwarf with shiny armour walk out of the cave. ¡°City Leader, I swear my loyalty to you and Golden Hawk City.¡± The muscr dwarf looked at Leo and his eyes shone brightly before respectfully bowing to Leo. ¡®A dwarf?¡¯ Leo raised his brows and hurriedly checked the information on him. ¡®Ding, Name: Duthol Battleshoulder. Strength: Supreme ranked warrior. Talent: Master Weaponsmith. Profession: Supreme-ranked Weaponsmith. More information: A Supreme-ranked Weaponsmith with a sess rate of 10 percent in refining the supreme-ranked weapons and artifacts. He was originally a native of the Grey Dwarf World; however, his world failed in the world assessment before teleporting to some random rank 1 world. ¡®A supreme-ranked weaponsmith? ¡® Leo felt his luck was very good recently as one good thing after another was happening to him. ¡°Can you refine a high-level supreme-grade weapon? If you can, how long will it take to refine one?¡± To increase your strength to the next level in the shortest time possible, weapons and artifacts were the avable choices. Since the system showed that he was a supreme-ranked weaponsmith, Leo was curious whether the dwarf could refine the high-level supreme-ranked weapons. Therefore, he asked the dwarf about it, and at the same time, he wanted to know the time required to produce one supreme-ranked weapon. ¡°I can refine all three levels of the supreme-ranked weapons; however, the higher the level of the weapon, the lower the sess rate will be.¡± ¡°For low-level supreme-grade weapons, it will take one day and the sess rate is 20 percent. For mid-level, it will take three days and the sess rate is 15 percent.¡± ¡°As for the high-level, it would take 10 days; however, the sess rate is only 10 percent.¡± The dwarf was respectful to Leo because he had been searching for someone who values his weapon refining skills. Just from Leo¡¯s first question, the dwarf could tell that he would be busy with the weapon refining. So, he continued to exin everything about his skills. ¡°For now, just focus on the low-level supreme-grade weapons and refine them.¡± Leo didn¡¯t have to think for long before ordering Duthol to refine the low-level supreme-grade weapons. p-¡¢ ¡°Yes, City Leader.¡± It¡¯s been a while since he hadst refined. So, Duthol was in a more hurry than Leo. Hence, he didn¡¯t care about the level of the weapons and nodded at Leo¡¯s orders before asking, ¡°Where is my weapon refining hall, city leader?¡± ¡®Right! He needs a workshop to work on the weapons.¡¯ Leo suddenly remembered there were only living residences in the city. ¡®Ding, The city pir has unlocked a new special building for recruiting a Master Weaponsmith. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (766 / 800). Chapter 304 Weapons Refining Hall Since Leo was the city leader of the Golden Hawk City and the system had already connected with the city pir. Therefore, whenever there were some changes, the system would inform Leo. When Leo was not around, the city manager would take care of such things; however, since Leo was in the city, the system informed him about the new special building. ¡®New special building?¡¯ Leo was surprised for a moment; however, when he thought about it, he was not surprised. ¡®Since there is a master weaponsmith in the city, there should be a weapons refining hall, right?¡¯ With that thought, Leo asked the system, ¡°What is the construction cost for that special building?¡± Even though the city pir unlocked a new special building, that doesn¡¯t mean they would be freely constructed like the Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall. To construct the special buildings like the Weapons refining hall, Potion refining hall, and Pill refining hall, Leo needs to spend Hero Coins to bring them out of the city pir before constructing them. Therefore, Leo asked the system about the price to construct the Weapons refining hall. ¡°It is 25 million Hero Coins, master.¡± The elf fairy rushed out of the City Hall and informed Leo about the price. ¡°25 million Hero Coins? Let¡¯s buy it.¡± If everything went as he nned, the newly recruited dwarf could create at least five low-level supreme-grade weapons. For a gradeless world that was yet to refine their one supreme-grade weapon, Leo felt spending 25 million Hero Coins was nothing because even a quasi-supreme-ranked weapon was sold for more than 20 million Hero Coins, not to mention, a low-level supreme-grade weapon was multiple times better than a Quasi supreme-ranked weapon. ¡®Ding, 25 million Hero Coins got deducted from the host¡¯s storage ring. ¡®Ding, The special building ¡®Weapons Refining Hall¡¯ will be constructed in a few minutes. Please wait. Since the system is directly connected to the city pir, itpleted the payment on Leo¡¯s behalf and informed Leo through the system notifications. ¡®Are there any special effects for the ¡®Weapons Refining Hall¡¯?¡¯ In the distance, a magical mist appeared and Leo knew the Weapons Refining Hall was being constructed there. So, he asked the system where there were any special effects for that building. ¡®Ding, Special Building Name: Weapons Refining Hall. Effect: 1) Increases the sess rate of the weaponsmith by +10 percent. Special Effect: The weaponsmith can purchase supreme-grade materials to refine their weapons with enough Hero Coins. Note: 1) More effects will be unlocked when the city or the building is upgraded. Even though it was a special Building, the Weapons Refining Hall was not as special as the City Hall or any other special buildings in the city. Hence, Leo was not surprised to see there was only one simple effect for it. ¡®If the sess rate of the weaponsmith is increased by 10 percent, then Duthol¡¯s overall sess rate would reach 30 percent. I can expect one extra low-level supreme-grade weapon before the world assessment.¡¯ Leo silently thought, ¡®Moreover, it can be upgraded in the future. When it does, the existing effects will be upgraded and new effects will be unlocked.¡¯ ¡°Duthol, while you refine the weapons, I will send a young dwarf. Take him as your disciple and teach him.¡± Suddenly, Leo thought of the young dwarf that his young brother formed a contract and said to the muscr dwarf while giving him 15 million Hero Coins to buy the required metals. ¡°Of course.¡± When he heard about a young dwarf, Duthol was surprised for a moment before bing excited. ¡®I have wandered alone for so long and finally, I can meet another dwarf.¡¯ Duthol could not wait to meet the young dwarf who would be bing his disciple. ¡°If you are short of Hero Coins, you can ask the city manager for more.¡± Leo was not worried that the young dwarf would be baggage to Duthol because the young dwarf also had the potential to be [Master Weaponsmith]. ¡°Yes, City Leader.¡± Duthol respectfully nodded as he walked towards the Weapons Refining Hall that was under construction. Judging from his construction speed, it won¡¯t take long before it gets fully constructed. ¡°If I can get a Master Alchemist and a Formation Master, my City can not only be powerful but it would generate a good ie for my city.¡± Soon, Leo returned to the City Hall and sat in the meeting hall. Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to inform Evan to let his tamed monster meet Duthol to train under them. Since there were good benefits just from bing a citizen of his Golden Hawk City, Leo urged all his family members to be citizens. Ryan and others were more than happy to be the citizens of the Golden Hawk City; however, Julia had to leave the city because she was taking special training by the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯. Nevertheless, she would receive all the passive effects of the city no matter where she was. ¡­. After a few minutes, ¡°Boss, sorry for making you wait for us.¡± Dominic and two other squad leaders entered the Meeting Hall and apologized for making Leo wait for them. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Since they were busy training in the wilderness along with his recently awakened citizens, Leo didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I have good news for you all.¡± Looking at the three mercenary squad leaders and three Monster/Beast leaders, Leo said with a slight smile. ¡°Dominic, Kai, and Daniel, you three are in charge of five [God Ruins] each.¡± ¡°cial Imp, Sun Naga, and Fury Golem, there were not many Beast/ Monster types [God Ruins]. So, each one of you has to clear one [God Ruins] each afterpleting your evolution.¡± ¡°Skye and Lionel will clear a Beast type [God Ruin].¡± Leo didn¡¯t wait for their response as he gave the full information of each [God Ruins] to them. ¡°Boss, where did you get such valuable information?¡± ¡°Of course, we willplete it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss. By the time weplete these [God Ruins], we will definitely be supreme-ranked heroes.¡± Soon, all the leader-level followers under Leo said different things; however, Leo gave a single reply to them. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you do, everyone should clear the [God Ruins] within two weeks. If possible,plete it sooner. Also, it is better to split into small teams and clear the [God Ruins].¡± ¡°Yes, Boss.¡± Everyone nodded their heads before leaving the Meeting Hall. ¡°Earth Griffins, your family can clear a [God Ruins] on your own, right?¡± After they left, Leo¡¯s eyesnded on the Griffin family that he met a month back. The mother Giffin had already be rank 9 whereas the father Griffin was rank 7. After the appearance of the ¡®Hall of the Bestial Gods¡¯, Leo invited them to be his city¡¯s citizens. To the Griffin family, Leo gave a less difficult [God Ruins] to clear. To Leo¡¯s question, the Griffin family excitedly nodded before leaving the city hall after taking the information about the [God Ruins]. ¡°Victor¡­¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as Leo was about to say something, a terrifying aura came from Leo¡¯s shadow, making him pause his words. ¡°That little brother of mine has finally defeated me¡­Haha.¡± Looking at the reddish auraing out of Leo¡¯s shadow, Victor could not help but reveal a proud smile. **** Additional information: ¡®Ding, ssification of the uncleared [God Ruins]: 1) Human [God Ruins]: 20.

Chapter 305 [Bonus Chapter] Vladimir Becomes Supreme-Ranked Vampire The terrifying red-coloured auraing out belonged to none other than dimir. Hence, Victor, as dimir¡¯s big brother, was so proud that his little brother had surpassed him in strength-wise. However, when ites to battle experience, Victor had a lotpared to dimir who was always yful and didn¡¯t partake in many fights. ¡°It looks like that little brat is really worried that I am getting more and more supreme-ranked followers.¡± On the other hand, Leo could not help but joke about the sudden determination of the shadow vampire. ¡°Master, are you going to tell him that you have a Legend-grade follower? It will make him more focused on increasing his strength.¡± Victor also knew the reason why dimir was able to be so determined as he asked Leo whether he was going to tell dimir about the Ancient Devil Goliath King. ¡°For now, let¡¯s just keep it as he already has enough motivation.¡± Leo only said about the legend-grade Goliath to the Shadow Vampire King and no one knows about him and Leo didn¡¯t have any n to reveal that information any time soon. As for dimir, he already has enough targets like Arlo and Sutin to catch up to. Therefore, Leo felt there was no need for dimir to know about it as it might only make the shadow vampire stressed because the Legend grade was not something that can be easily achieved just because someone wants it. ¡°Hm¡± Victor nodded and understood Leo¡¯s n on how to keep dimir motivated and focused on increasing his strength all the time. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After a couple of minutes, the violent aura from Leo¡¯s shadow disappeared and a silhouette jumped out of it. Compared to before, dimir looked like a mature young man. He was already handsome; however, after reaching the supreme rank, he became even more handsome and could steal thedies¡¯ hearts without even looking at them. Another noticeable change in dimir was his Cloak which became darker with a hint of a purple glint in the red-ck cloak. ¡°Master, Brother, I am waiting for praise.¡± As soon as he appeared out of Leo¡¯s shadow, dimir asked for praise from Leo and his brother Victor. ¡°Victor, even though looks mature, he is still as childish as before.¡± Leo didn¡¯t praise dimir; instead, he said his thoughts on the current dimir. ¡°I totally agree.¡± Victor nodded and looked at dimir with a concerned look as though he was worried for his brother. ¡°Ugh¡­you two¡­.always try to find my faults.¡± After hearing their words, dimir didn¡¯t ask for praise anymore; instead, he turned to his brother and asked, ¡°Brother, I became a supreme vampire before you. So, where is my gift?¡± In the past, Victor tried all kinds of methods to make his little brother focus on improving his strength and one of them was promising to gift him if dimir ever surpasses his strength. However, it was futile as his brother waszy and yful. So, even Victor forgot about the gift. Nevertheless, who would have thought that dimir would still remember that promise? ¡°That¡­your¡­gift¡­¡± ¡°The gift will be a Supreme-ranked Monster-type [God Ruins].¡± As Victor was struggling to answer dimir, Leo interrupted Victor and said about the gift. ¡°A Supreme-ranked monster-type [God Ruins]?¡± dimir was pleasantly surprised by the gift and could not wait to enter it, ¡°Where is it? I will go there now.¡± ¡°However, you need to wait until your brother bes the Supreme-ranked Vampire.¡± Leo put brakes on dimir¡¯s excitement as he informed, ¡°A supreme-ranked monster-type [God Ruins] can¡¯t be cleared by a single supreme-ranked vampire. So, you, two brothers were in charge of clearing that [God Ruins].¡± ¡°¡­¡± dimir remained silent for a moment and looked at his big brother Victor for a moment before nodding. ¡°Sure, I will go and test my new strength in the wilderness.¡± Even though dimir acts childish, he didn¡¯t mind sharing resources with his brother. The bond between Victor and dimir was much stronger than the bond between Leo and dimir. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ p??-??-. dimir wanted to test his strength and he didn¡¯t waste any time staying in the city and directly jumping out of the Golden Hawk City. ¡°Victor, the [God Ruins] I have given you is a little dangerous; however, ording to the information I have on it, it is left behind by an otherworldly vampire. So, it might help you, vampire brothers, in getting his inheritance.¡± After dimir left, Leo informed about the [God Ruins], making Victor be serious about it. ¡°I will keep that in my mind, master.¡± Victor nodded and said, ¡°I willplete my evolution and breakthrough to the supreme rank and clear the [God Ruins].¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, Victor jumped into a shadow. Leo gave thest small evolution monster crystal to Victor because he was the most powerful monster below supreme rank. ¡°After allocating all the [God Ruins] to my followers, I am left with¡­.¡± ¡®Ding, ssification of the uncleared [God Ruins]: 1) Human [God Ruins]: 5. (5 supreme-ranked). 2) Beast [God Ruins]: 3. (1 supreme-ranked). Before he could finish his words, Leo received the system notification, helping him with the data. ¡®Moonlight Unicorn can take care of the Supreme-ranked Beast-type [God Ruins], leaving me with two Mortal-ranked Beast-type [God Ruins].¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to keep that two beast-type [God Ruins] aside and think about themter. As for the five Human [God Ruins], they were all supreme ranked. Without a doubt, Leo decided to clear them all on his own along with the [Treasure Lands]. ¡®Even though it seemed like I was taking everything, most of the items I received from those [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] would be used by my followers or family members.¡¯ Currently, Leo is only interested in some special-type supreme-ranked items. So, the remaining things would be eventually given away. ¡°Anyway, before I start clearing the [God Ruins], let¡¯splete the things in the Starlight City.¡± After giving out some orders to the city manager, Leo left the Floating City and entered Starlight City as a regr rank 9 mercenary. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (783 / 800). Chapter 306 Entering Starlight Citys [Supreme Market] In a luxurious manor, Starlight City, ¡°Sir Leo.¡± Seeing Leo entering the manor, the servants of the manor respectfully bowed to Leo. This manor and the servants working in this manor were a reward from the city leader of Starlight City after he saved his son. Of course, the servants were only respectful to Leo but were not loyal because their loyalty lies with the Starlight City¡¯s Leader. ¡®I hope someone from the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ contacts me. After taking care of the things of this city¡¯s branch, I have to pay a visit to the city leader with my other identity.¡¯ After entering his room, Leo sat cross-legged and started cultivating while waiting for someone. p-¡¢ There were two things that Leo had toplete in Starlight City. One was to destroy the side branch of [Order of the ck Tower] and the other was to meet Starlight City¡¯s leader. ording to Mr White, someone from the [Order of the ck Tower] would contact him and invite him to the [Supreme Market]. So, Leo was waiting for that someone while cultivating. ¡®Ding, +100 units of Starlight Energy are absorbed into Starlight Dantian. ¡®Ding, +100 units of Starlight Energy are absorbed into Starlight Dantian. ¡°Sir Leo, someone wants to meet you. Will you meet him?¡± Leo had already informed the servants that they could freely inform him if someone wanted to meet him. Only after two hours of his cultivation, one of the servants informed Leo. ¡®So soon.¡¯ Leo nodded and walked out of the room to meet the guest. ¡­.. ¡°Sir Leo, you must have already guessed my identity.¡± It was an old man wearing ck robe. He didn¡¯t introduce himself; instead, he said to Leo in a mysterious tone regarding his identity. ¡°Yes.¡± Leo nodded and asked, ¡°I am in need of some ves and some rank 9 items.¡± ¡°The Branch Leader has asked me to invite you to his house. Let¡¯s meet him first before going to the Supreme Market.¡± The old man nodded and guided Leo to a luxurious building that was as tall as the city hall of the city. ¡°Sorry for troubling you toe here.¡± The branch leader was a middle-aged man wearing ck suit with red-tie around his neck. The moment they met, he apologized to Leo. ¡°It¡¯s alright! But, can you say what you want to say quickly? I have to leave Starlight City by tomorrow.¡± Leo acted like he was in a hurry. Of course, he was in a hurry to leave Starlight Ciy; however, he would only leave afterpleting the things in the city. ¡°I heard Customer Leo was thest one to visit to the [Supreme Market] in Phirie City, did you see anyone suspicious when you visited the market or Mr. White?¡± The Branch Leader of the Starlight City asked Leo about the Phirie City¡¯s [Supreme Market]. However, he remained polite and respectful to Leo because it was the main policy of their organization to remain polite to the rich customers like Leo. Moreover, in Starlight City, Leo became famous overnight after saving the city leader¡¯s son. So, as the Branch Leader who was nning to take over the Starlight City, he had to be close to the City Leader and those who were connected to the City Leader. ¡°Huh?¡± Leo intentionally raised his brows and replied, ¡°No. I didn¡¯t see any¡­.wait a second. I saw someone suspicious; however, everyone who enters the Supreme Market is suspicious, right?¡± ¡°What? You saw someone suspicious?¡± The Branch Leader became excited and hurriedly asked, ¡°Who is it? Can you recognize me if you see him again?¡± ¡°He was wearing a red-coloured mask¡­wait a second¡­thinking back the mask he was wearing looked a little simr to the Talent Swallowing Hero; however, I don¡¯t think you will allow him into the [Supreme Market], right?¡± Leo had already nned everything before entering Starlight City and slowly made the branch leader suspicious of the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°By the way, did something happen?¡± At the same time, he acted innocent and asked the branch leader about it. ¡°What? Someone with the same mask as the Talent Swallowing Hero?¡± The branch leader raised his eyebrows after listening to Leo¡¯s narration and thought, ¡®Is it really him?¡¯ Since the Talent Swallowing Hero was known as ¡®Evil Family Exterminator¡¯, Leo didn¡¯t have to try his best to convince the branch leader. All he had to do was to raise some suspicions with some gaps regarding the Talent Swallowing Hero and the branch leader would fill those nks. ¡°Someone killed Mr White and subordinates and took all the items from the [Supreme Market]. In short, there will be no [Supreme Market] in Phirie City for a couple of years.¡± ¡°The city leader was killed and it was taken over by an organization named ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯.¡± After concluding the fact that it was done by the Talent Swallowing Hero, the branch leader exined to Leo about the things that happened in Phirie City after he left. ¡°What? The City Leader died? Mr White was killed?¡± Leo acted like he didn¡¯t know those things; however, he said, ¡°I know a few things about the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯. However, no matter how much they try, I don¡¯t think they could manage a city. Sooner orter, it will be taken over by some secret organizations.¡± ¡°You know about the secret organizations too?¡± The branch leader was a little surprised; however, recently, the secret organizations were no longer staying secret and going all out after receiving the worldly announcement. So, he didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡°Customer Leo, I have something important to do. You can go and shop in the [Supreme Market] now. For giving some valuable information, you will receive a special 20 percent discount on all the items from my [Supreme Marker].¡± Since he learned that the Talent Swallowing Hero was connected to the destruction of one of their branches, the Branch Leader decided to inform the headquarters about it. Hence, he sent Leo away as he entered a secret room to connect with the headquarters. Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to give a discount for Leo¡¯s information. ¡­ ¡®That went better than I thought.¡¯ Following the old man from before, Leo silently thought. Since all the secret organizations were already hunting the Talent Swallowing Hero, Leo was not worried much about it. Moreover, Leo felt it was better for all the secret organizations toe at him so that he could make this world clear of all those secret organizations that always have the power to control the world. ¡°Sir Leo, this is one of the entrances into the [Supreme Market].¡± Soon, the old man guided Leo into the basement of one of the buildings that was a little far away from the branch leader¡¯s office and residence. ¡°Time to buy.¡± Without wasting any time, Leo visited the [Supreme Market]; however, he was shocked to see apletely different-type of [Supreme Market]. Compared to Phirie City¡¯s [Supreme Market], it waspletely different and it was bustling with so many customers and there were so many stores unlike the four stores in Phirie City¡¯s [Supreme Market]. ¡®This basically looks like a hidden city.¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (790 / 800). Chapter 307 Black Tower The [Supreme Market] in Phirie City was only established a few years back and it was not profitable yet as they only have a few customers. On the other hand, the [Supreme Market] in Starlight City was established more than a decade back and gained a steady footing in the city with a lot of customers. ¡®There are more than 20 stores and a dozen Supreme-ranked customers.¡¯ Among the masked customers, Leo could sense around 12 of them have level 1 Supreme rank. Hence, it made him think, ¡®Mostly those who enter the [Supreme Markets] are those from the Evil Families and the secret organizations. Anyway, they would tell me that Talent Swallowing Hoer was behind the destruction.¡¯ Even though there were a dozen supreme-ranked customers in the [Supreme Market], Leo nned to use them to do free publicity that Talent Swallowing Hero had be a supreme-ranked. ¡®I wonder whether their secret organizations and the city leaders continue to pressure me to join their city or organization.¡¯ Under his mask, Leo chuckled a little as he strolled few stores and bought one or two rank 9 items before going straight to the ve Store. Of course he didn¡¯t bother about the other masked customers and focused ording to his n. ¡°Wee, respected customer.¡± Seeing Leo walk into his store, the store owner weed him and informed, ¡°My store have all types of ves: Beasts, Monsters, normal humans and even awakened heroes. My store have every-type of ves.¡± ¡°Do you have Elves?¡± Leo asked the store owner in a cold voice, making the store owner rub the back of his head. ¡®Where did this b*starde from? Does he think getting Elves is so easy to get?¡¯ ¡°Sorry, Customer. We had a few; however, a few minutes back a customer had bought them.¡± However, the store owner said that he had sold them already. ¡®Bullsh*t.¡¯ Leo knew the store owner¡¯s words were not true; however, he didn¡¯t bother to argue with someone who was going to die. ¡°I will buy all of them. What is the price?¡± ,?-?m Leo soundedzy when he said those words. ¡°A..all of them?¡± The store owner froze for a moment and seeing that Leo was not joking, he became excited and said, ¡°100 normal Humans ¨C 8 million Hero Coins.¡± ¡°10 Basic Heros ¨C 1.5 million Hero Coins.¡± ¡°10 Beauties: 1 million Hero coins.¡± ¡°100 Basic ranked beasts ¨C 10 million Hero Coins¡± ¡°100 Basic ranked monsters ¨C 10 million Hero Coins.¡± The store owner did the calction in front of Leo and adding together, the total became 30.5 million Hero Coins. ¡°The respected customer, you can just pay 30 million Hero coins.¡± The store owner acted generous by giving a small discount of 0.5 million Hero Coins. ¡°I have a 20 percent discount on my purchases from the branch leader.¡± Leo saw the token he received from the branch leader and after a discount, he paid 24 million Hero coins. Even though he would being back to take them back, Leo didn¡¯t want to act out of ordinary and redeemed the discount given by the Branch Leader. ¡°Don¡¯t send them to my address; instead, deliver them to this location. And, I need them by tonight. Can you do that?¡± Leo sent the coordinates of a location in the wilderness that was around 100 kilometers away from the Starlight City. ¡°Delivering them outside the city will not be a problem; however¡­.¡± ¡°I just sent one million extra for the delivery. Is it enough?¡± Before the store owner could finish his words, Leo transferred one million to which the store owner said, ¡°I will do a special delivery and it will arrive in six hours.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Leo nodded and strolled the other stores for sometime before leaving the [Supreme Market]. ¡­.. ¡°What? He bought all the ves?¡± Inside the Branch Leader¡¯s office, the old man that guided Leo informed about Leo¡¯s purchase. ¡°This brat¡­must have struck rich in the [Treasure Land].¡± The Branch Leader was surprised for a moment; however, he knew how Leo became rich. He wanted to interrogate Leo to search for the treasures on his body; however, the branch leader concluded that Mr White had already interrogated and taken all the valuable treasures including the ¡®Fragment of the God Stone¡¯. Leo had already spent quite a lot of Hero Coins in Phirie City¡¯s [Supreme Market] and in his [Supreme Market], he spent anotherrge sum of Hero Coins. Therefore, he didn¡¯t bother to think about Leo; instead, he focused on the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°The Headquarters will be sending two additional Supreme Heroes to all the branches because of that Talent Swallowing Hero. Damn it¡­.if theye here, all the valuable treasures will be taken by them.¡± The branch leader clenched his fists and cursed Talent Swallowing Hero. The thing is, it was a known fact that the Talent Swallowing Hero won¡¯t stop after destroying an evil family and the headquarters feared that he would be destroying the others [Supreme Markets] soon. Therefore, they decided to send two supreme-ranked heroes until the Talent Swallowing Hero was captured or killed. ¡°Master, can I keep watching Leo? Why would he buy so many enved humans, beasts and monsters?¡± The old man asked the Branch Leader whether he should continue to keep an eye on Leo. ¡°Let¡¯s not bother about what he was going to do; instead, I have another mission for you.¡± The branch leader shook his head and ordered, ¡°Recover all our loans by tonight by any means necessary. I want them before those two supreme-ranked b*stards arrive here; otherwise, they would take everything for themselves.¡± ¡°I have already calcted, master. Adding the principle and interest from every loan we gave away, it would be nearly 50 million Hero Coins.¡± The Old man nodded and took out a small handbook filled with names and numbers before leaving the building. ¡®I have 25 million Hero coins in my storage rings and upon adding mymission from the [Supreme Market], I only need around 20 million Hero Coins to enter that ck Tower.¡¯ The Branch Leader clenched his fists with excitement as he was reaching closer towards his goal. ¡®Once I enter the ck Tower, I can be an elder and my path to be the vice leader of the organization will be cleared.¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (794 / 800). Chapter 308 [Bonus Chapter] Wilson Stardust After entering his manor, Leo didn¡¯t waste his time and put on his blood-coloured mask before entering the Secret Dimensional Space. ¡®Target: City Leader¡¯s mansion.¡¯ Since he still have to wait for the store owner to deliver the ves, Leo decided toplete the second reason why he entered Starlight City. And it was none other than taking control of Starlight City. That¡¯s right! He was nning to take control of Starlight City because it was a mission that the otherworldly beings didn¡¯tplete. They created the cities with protective walls; however, they had to leave because of the ancient voice leaving those cities without any city leaders. Initially, the residents of the cities elected a wise and strong leader; however, in a world with talents, and resources in the wilderness, the such ruling didn¡¯tst for much longer. After a few years of fighting for power, among the thousands of humans that risked their lives in the wilderness, a few of them sessfully became Supreme-ranked heroes and took full control of the city. Moreover, a supreme-ranked hero could unlock the supreme-ranked formation in the city to be even more strong inside the city. From that point of time, only supreme-ranked heroes started bing city leaders. ¡®Since they have the supreme-ranked formation, even if a rank 2 or 3 supreme-ranked heroes could not kill them; however, as long as I neutralize him before he could activate that supreme-ranked formation, it would be a piece of cake to have a good discussion with him.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t have any ns to kill the current city leader because he was not as bad as the other city leaders he had seen. Even though he knew about the [Supreme Market], the city leader didn¡¯t have enough power to go against the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯. So, he could only look into his eyes and let them operate in the shadows. However, when ites to the infrastructure and the protection of the city wall, he upgrades them every year or twice. ¡®The city leaders that care for their citizens are very rare in this age and world. So, it is better to give him some support and he will create a Safe City for both awakened and unawakened.¡¯ Among all the city leaders he had seen until now, Starlight City¡¯s leader was the only one that left a good impression after Maisy, the leader of the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯. Therefore, Leo decided to bring the city leader under his wing. ¦Ñ?n?a (n??)???? ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Since Leo had already visited the city leader¡¯s house once in the past, he didn¡¯t have any problems entering. ¡®There he is.¡¯ Soon, he found a middle-aged man looking at the empty space as though he was thinking about something. ¡°City leader, what are you thinking about?¡± Leo walked out of the Secret Dimensional Space and ced his hand on the city leader¡¯s head before asking in a calm tone. ¡°Who are you?¡± The city leader was about to turn his head; however, Leo stopped him by saying, ¡°If you don¡¯t want your head blown into pieces, listen to me patiently.¡± ¡°Talent Swallowing Hero?¡± From the corner of his eye, the city leader saw the red-coloured mask and instantly recognized the person who dared to ce their hand on his head. ¡°Yes. I am Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± Leo nodded and said, ¡°Are you going to listen to what I have to say?¡± ¡°I know you are not the type to harm innocent people.¡± On the other hand, after learning it was Talent Swallowing Hero, the city leader became a little rxed and said, ¡°Of course, I will listen to what you have to say.¡± ¡°Then you really don¡¯t know me.¡± To the city leader¡¯s first sentence, Leo shook his head and removed his hand from the city leader¡¯s head. Even though some people believed that the Talent Swallowing Hero would only go after the Evil Family and would not kill innocent people; however, Leo doesn¡¯t agree with it. Why Leo removed his hand from the city leader¡¯s head because he knew the city leader didn¡¯t have any intention of fighting him. ¡®He is another one of those ignorant people that would make someone a hero overnight for a single good deed.¡¯ Leo shook his head; however, he didn¡¯te here to discuss that he was not as righteous as they think. Instead, he directly came to the point, ¡°Do you want to create a safe city for your citizens?¡± ¡°My city is much safer¡­¡± ¡°Stop fooling yourself when your city¡¯s orphans were being converted into ves and sold away.¡± Before the city leader could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words with a scoff. ¡°¡­¡± Hearing Leo¡¯s words, Wilson didn¡¯t be furious or retorted; instead, he remained silent because what Leo said was true. ¡°What can I do about it? I am not powerful enough to protect everyone.¡± Wilson bitterly sighed as he continued, ¡°I know that¡¯s not an excuse. If you are here to punish me for abandoning those orphans to the evil hands, I am happy to die in your hands.¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ However, Leo was surprised to hear Wilson¡¯s words as he didn¡¯t expect a city leader to say such words. ¡°From the looks of it, you must have already be a supreme-ranked hero. If you promise me that you will be the next city leader of this city, I will die without any regrets.¡± As for Wilson, he continued to say, ¡°If it is you, you might have a chance of winning against the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯.¡± ¡°Stop with that cr*p. You want to escape after making the lives of thousands of orphans miserable?¡± Leo pped Wilson¡¯s head as he continued, ¡°What if I back you? Will you go against the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯?¡± Leo was not surprised that Wilson knew about the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ as he asked him whether he was willing to fight the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ if he supported him. ¡°What? Really? Are you going to support me?¡± Wilson had mixed emotions as he didn¡¯t wait for Leo¡¯s reply and said in a serious tone, ¡°If Talent Swallowing Hero really supports me, I will destroy the [Supreme Marker] in my city right away.¡± ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a new subsidiary city. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 800 Golden Tickets (794 / 800). Chapter 309 Spatial Meeting Room ¡®Ding, Starlight City¡¯s leader swore his allegiance to the host. ¡®Ding, ¡¢(?)?m Congrattions to the host for gaining a new subsidiary city. ¡®Ding, A new reward has been unlocked in the [City Conquering Tab]. Please check it. As soon as Wilson finished his words, Leo received a series of system notifications, making him surprised. ¡®What? How did he swear his allegiance to me so soon?¡¯ Leo was not surprised that he received a new reward from one of the system features [City Conquering Tab]; instead, he felt it a little unbelievable that Wilson swore his allegiance to him so soon. Another reason why Leo wanted to take Wilson under his was to get a reward from the [City Conquering Tab]. Even though he could get it by killing Wilson and recing his ce with one of his followers, Leo felt it was a time-consuming process. Since Wilson was not as bad as other city leaders, he decided to get the reward by making him swear his allegiance to the host. But who would have thought it would be over before he could use his ns? ¡®Did he admire the Talent Swallowing Hero so much that he was ready to swear his allegiance to me?¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo shook his head and muttered, ¡®Who cares about it? Since the system announced his allegiance, I don¡¯t have to worry too much about it.¡¯ ¡®Ding, Item Name: Spatial Meeting Room. Use: A huge room that lets the host and city leaders of his subsidiary cities hold his meetings withouting out of their city halls. Note: Other than the city leaders, only a few people that were permitted by the host can enter this mysterious meeting room. Soon, Leo checked the details of the reward he received for getting a new subsidiary city and thought, ¡®It can be useful to gather all my city leaders and know how their cities are doing.¡¯ ¡°Since you have my support, are you going to take care of the [Supreme Market].¡± Initially, Leo thought to destroy the [Supreme Market] to make Wilson be his follower; however, Wilson had already be Leo¡¯s follower after a few words from Leo. Therefore, Leo decided to use Wilson to clear the [Supreme Market]. ¡°¡­¡± Even though Wilson has the support of the Talent Swallowing Hero who was already a level 2 supreme-ranked hero, he still hesitated a little to go against the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯. However, when he thought about all the atrocities that the secret organization had done, Wilson didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and said, ¡°Yes, Sir Talent Swallowing Hero. I will take care of it.¡± ¡®If something happens to me, the Talent Swallowing Hero will protect my family.¡¯ For most city leaders, Talent Swallowing Hero was a nightmare; however, for Wilson, he was the true hero who could go against anyone who does evil. For some reason, Wilson was assured that the Talent Swallowing Hero would protect his family. That¡¯s the reason why he swore allegiance to him. In the end, it alles down to how one looks at things. Wilson looked at Talent Swallowing Hero from an angle who doesn¡¯t hesitate to take down evil families. ¡°Wait until a huge truck leaves the city before erasing the [Supreme Market].¡± Seeing that Wilson was about to summon his army to tak down the [Supreme Market], Leo stopped him and asked him to wait for some time. ¡°Huh?¡± Wilson didn¡¯t understand; however, he decided to wait silently. ¡°Actually, I thought to give this to you before I leave this city. I will just give it to you now.¡± After thinking for a moment, Leo threw a ck-coloured crystal at Wilson and said, ¡°I think that the talent inside that crystal will be very useful to you.¡± ¡°Huh? But, I have already awakened and even have two talents.¡± Wilson didn¡¯t understand why would the Talent Swallowing Hero give him a talent crystal when he was already awakened. So, he asked Leo about it. Generally, an awakened yer could not use the Talent Awakening Crystal if they were already awakened unless it was a special one; however, the one that Leo gave Wilson looked not special. So, Wilson thought Leo was toying with him to pass the time. ¡°Fool. It¡¯s a special talent crystal. Use it and you will get a talent ¡®Star Bullets¡¯ which will cover for yourcking long-range attacks.¡± ¡°Stop joking, Sir. Even though I didn¡¯t see any special talent awakening stones, I have read some records about them. They lookpletely different from what you have given.¡± Leo didn¡¯t know whether he shouldugh or cry because earlier Wilson acted like he had absolute trust in him; however, even a minute didn¡¯t pass and Wilson was not believing his words. ¡°Fine. Just give it back if you don¡¯t want it.¡± Leo shook his head and decided to take it back; however, he saw Wilson swallow it in a single gulp while saying, ¡°Since Sir Talent Swallowing Hero has said it is a special awakening stone, then it is a special awakening stone.¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ Leo was speechless at Wilson¡¯s words. ¡®Swiish¡¯ Soon, Wilson¡¯s body shone with a bright light as he awakened a new talent [Star Bullets]. Leo had received two talent awakening crystals by devouring the supreme-ranked beasts in the [God Ruins]. Since Wilson needed some surprise moves when the ¡®Order of the ck tower¡¯ came, Leo decided to give one to him. ¡®Since he is already a supreme-ranked hero, it won¡¯t be a problem for him to upgrade it to level 9 in a short time; however, if only my [Talent Promoter] can let me upgrade my follower¡¯s talents just like how [Absolute Devour] is allowing me to give away the talent awakening crystals, it would have been.¡¯ Leo thought of upgrading the [Talent Promoter] to supreme grade because he believed that the supreme-ranked [Talent Promoter] would allow him to upgrade his followers¡¯ talents. ¡®But, it is still at level 8 and will take quite some time. So, I can¡¯t rely on it before the ¡®World Assessment.¡¯ Leo stopped thinking about it and looked at the excited Wilson. He was already happy to have two talents that allowed him to be the city leader of Starlight City. Now, he received another talent. Moreover, it was a long-range attacking-type talent that he really needed. ¡°Thanks, Sir Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± Soon, Wilson came out of his excitement and thanked Leo before saying, ¡°Before the world assessment, I can upgrade it to level 8 or even level 9.¡± Since the supreme-ranked heroes had a lot of energy in their bodiespared to the rank 9 or below-ranked heroes, they could use the talent so many times in a single day. Because of that, their potential for that talent would rapidly increase. So, Leo was not worried much about it. ¡°Upgrade it to rank 9.¡± Leo threw colourful crystals at Wilson and ordered him to upgrade that talent to rank 9. ¡°Talent Advancement Crystals?¡± Wilson was not surprised because they were not as rare as the normal talent awakening stone. ¡°After taking down the [Supreme Market], the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ won¡¯t stand still and would send a few strong supreme-ranked heroes.¡± Suddenly, Wilson thought about Leo¡¯s earlier words of ¡®leaving the city¡¯ and hurriedly asked, ¡°I don¡¯t think I can take them all on my own.¡± ¡°Who said you will be taking them on your own?¡± Leo replied with a cold smile under his mask. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 900 Golden Tickets (840 / 900). Chapter 310 Meeting with Subsidiary City Leaders In the past, Wilson has opposed the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯; however, they were a lot stronger and threatened him that if does anything funny, they would kill him and his family. Even though Wilson didn¡¯t fear death, he was worried about his family and his citizens. If a new city leader takes over Starlight City, Wilson knew the citizens would suffer. Hence, he decided toe to an agreement that he would let the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ operate their [Supreme Market] in his city whereas they should not mess with the operation of Starlight city. However, after deciding to go against them with the support of the Talent Swallowing Hero, Wilson didn¡¯t want Leo to leave the city. ¡°Who said you will be taking them on your own?¡± Leo replied with a cold smile under his mask. Since Starlight City had be his subsidiary city, why would Leo abandon it so easily? He had already thought of a n when going against the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯. ¡°Then?¡± Wilson became curious as he asked Leo about his n. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Wait.¡± Leo revealed a slight smile under his mask as he muttered, ¡®Since I have a special item now, I will use it; instead of using [Telepathy].¡¯ Previously, Leo thought of using [Telepathy] toplete his goals in Starlight City; however, he received a special item from the [City Conquering Tab], and Leo decided to see how it works. ¡®Spatial Meeting Room¡¯ With a single thought, a portal appeared before Leo and he entered without any hesitation. ¡®What is it?¡¯ Wilson, on the other hand, was shocked by the sudden appearance of the portal; however, seeing that the Talent Swallowing Hero was entering the portal, he followed quietly. ¡­. Inside the Spatial Meeting Room, As the name suggests, it was a room that had a long table surrounded by some exquisite chairs and of course, there was a majestic chair for Leo to sit on. ¡®System, how do I bring others into this Meeting Room?¡¯ Looking at the pure white-coloured walls of the meeting room, Leo asked the system about it. ¡®Ding, The host just has to call the name of the city leaders of his subsidiary cities. ¡®Oh. That¡¯s simple.¡¯ After receiving the reply from the system, Leo silently muttered, ¡®Arlo, Hanna.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, two portals opened as a young man and woman in herte twenties walked out of them. The young man was Arlo, the city leader of Leo¡¯s first subsidiary city, New Starlight City whereas the woman was the city leader of Phirie City which was Leo¡¯s second subsidiary city. Unlike Arlo, Hanna was not Leo¡¯s follower. She was a member of the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯ and an ally. Nevertheless, the system concluded Phirie City as his subsidiary city and even rewarded him with a Level 5 supreme-ranked guardian beast that protects the city in times of crisis. Of course, it was just a phantom of some beast that could fight for five or ten minutes and not a real guardian beast. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± Even though they didn¡¯t know why they entered this pure-white-coloured room, when they saw Leo, they hurriedly greeted him in a respectful tone. ¡°Everyone, introduce yourselves.¡± Leo nodded at them and settled in the master chair before asking them to introduce themselves. ¡°Arlo, the city leader of New Starlight City. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Hanna, the city leader of Phirie City and an elder of the ¡®Order of the Healing Angels¡¯.¡± ¡°Wilson, the city leader of Starlight City. Happy to meet you.¡± The city leaders have never met with one another before and briefly, introduced themselves before sitting in their chairs. ¡°From now on, if you have anything urgent and important to discuss, you can enter this room and call for an emergency meeting with other city leaders, including me.¡± Soon, Leo briefly exined how the ¡®Spatial Meeting Room¡¯ works and at what times they should use it. The three city leaders were surprised and looked at the insides of the room once more. ¡°Since you know how this room works, let¡¯s get to the main reason why I summoned you here.¡± Leo didn¡¯t beat around the bush in front of his subsidiary city leaders and directly came to the main point. ¡°Arlo is the youngest city leader here and the strongest one. Also, not only him, in his city, there were ten supreme-ranked heroes who were also supreme-ranked cultivators¡± Pointing at Arlo, Leo started, ¡°It¡¯s not that I am praising him a little too much but he deserves it.¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Both Hanna and Wilson were shocked as they looked at Wilson as though he were some kind of monster. Actually, Arlo¡¯s tribe in Beas has more than 100 supreme-ranked heroes plus starlight cultivators; however, he only brought 10 of them to this world and in the future, more woulde. Of course, Leo didn¡¯t talk about it and continued what he wanted to say, ¡°He will send two supreme-ranked heroes each to your cities to protect you and your cities from the secret organizations.¡± ¡°However, you have to keep it a secret that your cities have two additional supremer-ranked heroes.¡± Leo sensed the surprised looks on Hanna and Wilson; however, he didn¡¯t stop speaking as he continued, ¡°In return, help him send some manpower, resources. In short, help him in developing his city with your already established cities.¡± As for now, in New Starlight City, there were only 100 citizens and it needs some citizens. ¡°Sure.¡± The two city leaders agreed instantly. Who would let go of such a good offer? Hence, they didn¡¯t think much and said, ¡°We will send some citizens without any criminal records that were willing to migrate the cities.¡± Who would not enter the city that had seven supreme-ranked heroes? Therefore, the two city leaders were not worried that the citizens would not migrate to the cities. ¡°Thank you.¡± Since Hanna and Wilson were older than him, Arlo was polite and respectful as he thanked them. ¡°Also, when one city is in danger, the other cities should help them. I don¡¯t think I have to say that, right?¡± Leo asked them. ¡°Of course. Since we are allies, we should help each other.¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The three city leaders nodded in agreement. ¡°Good. You two can leave now.¡± Soon, Leo sent Hanna and Wilson back as he spoke to Arlo, ¡°There is a supreme-ranked [God Ruins] that was created by someone who follows both Cultivation Path and ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯.¡± ¡°Clear it and receive all the items from that [God Ruins].¡± Even though Leo also follows both the ¡®Cultivation Path¡¯ and ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯, he was not much interested in the cultivation or cultivation inheritance of some otherworldly beings. It was not that Leo was arrogant, it was because Leo felt it would be best for him to focus on the ¡®Path of Heroes¡¯. Moreover, to increase his cultivation, he could just swallow his enemies¡¯ cultivation to increase his own cultivation. Therefore, he gave the information on that [God Ruins] to Arlo to clear it with his citizens. ¡­ Soon after, Leo left the Meeting Room and returned to Wilson¡¯s City Hall. ¡°Sir, a truck looked with ves had just left the city. Shall I clear the [Supreme Market] now?¡± As soon as Leo appeared, Wilson informed Leo about the truck with an exciting look. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s Swallowing Time.¡± **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 900 Golden Tickets (841 / 900). Chapter 311 [Bonus Chapter] Orb of Silence ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s Swallowing Time.¡± ¡°Sir, are youing with us?¡± Wilson was surprised that the Talent Swallowing Hero would being with him and his subordinates. ¡°There is no need to bring your subordinates. Two of us are enough.¡± Leo nodded as he asked Wilson, ¡°Instead, ask your subordinates to guard the city gate. I don¡¯t want anyone from the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ to escape with their lives.¡± Since his [Talent Swallowing Ability] has been reset for a while, Leo was in a hurry to swallow a talent. He already hadid his eyes on a talent. So, he decided to go with Wilson and pay a visit to the Branch Leader. ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± Wilson always wanted to see the Talent Swallowing Hero in action. So, he was excited and hurriedly informed his loyal army to guard the city gates tightly. Each city leader has their own loyal army that was trained and nurtured by the city leader personally. Of course, unlike Leo, these city leaders could not tell whether they were absolutely loyal to them or not. However, if they ever sensed something was wrong, they would not hesitate to either imprison or kill that particr subordinate. ¡°Sir, Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, Wilson went to visit the Branch Leader under the premise of a regr meeting with the Branch Leader. ¡°City Leader Wilson, why are you here?¡± The Branch Leader asked Wilson with a frown as he continued, ¡°If you are here to argue with me regarding those disappearing orphans in your city, there is nothing to discuss.¡± Every once in a while, Wilson would argue with the Branch Leader to decrease the number of orphan kids that were kidnapped by the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯. So, the Branch Leader asked Wilson to leave if he was back again for the same reason. ¡°Today, I am here for apletely new reason.¡± Wilson released his battle intent and replied, ¡°I am here to kill you and destroy your branch from my city.¡± ¡°Haha¡­stop joking. Old man, take care of him.¡± The Branch Leaderughed out loud as he ordered his servant to take care of Wilson. ¡°Yes, Branch Leader.¡± The old servant was a level 3 supreme-ranked hero whereas Wilson was only a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. So, the Branch Leader didn¡¯t bother to pay much attention to Wilson as he poured a drink for himself. ¡®Kacha¡¯ ¡®Thud¡¯ ¡°He entered my mansion like a bigshot with his pitiful strength. He died in a single strike from my servant.¡± The Branch Leader was focused on pouring a drink for himself as he heard a body falling to the ground. Since he was confident in his servant, the Branch Leader thought his old servant had sessfully killed the City Leader Wilson. ¡°Old man, do you want a¡­.¡± Turning his head, the Branch Leader saw his old servant lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open. ¡°How did¡­you¡­Talent Swallowing Hero¡­why? How?¡± The Branch Leader was shocked to see the corpse of his old servant and raised his head to look at Wilson beside Wilson, he saw Leo, who was holding a huge ck-coloured battle-axe. As soon as he saw the Talent Swallowing Hero, the Branch Leader¡¯s heart dropped and his mind fell into chaos. ¡®What should I do?¡¯ ¡®He killed the old man in a single strike. I am definitely not a match for him.¡¯ ¡®Damn it¡­the two supreme heroes sent by the headquarters would only reach the city by tomorrow.¡¯ ¡®What¡¯s the use if I am not alive? If I am not alive, it will be the end of the [Supreme Market] in Starlight City.¡¯ [Undead Summoner ¨C Raise my Undead] On the other hand, Leo turned the old servant¡¯s corpse into undead; however, he didn¡¯t have any ns to give sentience to it. Leo preferred to give sentience to those undead beings that have the potential to reach Legend rank or beyond that. The old man had already hit his limits when he was alive and after bing undead, his potential would be worse. ¡°What? You have a [Necromancer] talent?¡± Both Wilson and the Branch Leader were shocked to see a new talent of the Talent Swallowing Hero; however, when they recalled his name, they were no longer shocked. ¡°I wanted to have a good chat with you; however, because of the uing world assessment, I am quite busy.¡± ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo disappeared from his ce and appeared beside the Branch Leader. [Weapon skill: Lacerating Strike] Before the Branch Leader coulde out of his thoughts, Leo dealt a deadly blow to him. ¡®Let¡¯s swallow his talent.¡¯ Leo thought about swallowing the Branch Leader¡¯s talent and soon, he received a system notification. ¡®Ding, The selected target has two talents. Pick one: 1) Orb of Silence: A orb will be summoned by the user that absorbs all the noises within a limited range and turns that limited rangepletely silent. 2) Advanced Wind Bullets: Summons limited invisible wind bullets depending on the level of the talent. ¡®I will swallow [Orb of Silence]¡¯ Without thinking much, Leo selected the first talent. Leo already has a wide range of attack-type talents and moreover, he also has the talent [Wind Maniption]. If he uses that talent repeatedly, he could create the wind bullets with any extra talent. ¡®Also, the first talent is perfect for assassination. Even if I don¡¯t use it personally, I can give it to my followers.¡¯ Even though talents like [Orb of Silence] were not special, they were as rare as the special talents. So, Leo didn¡¯t think much about it as he knew he might not find this talent again. ¡®Ding, Extracting and condensing the talent [Orb of Silence] in a talent awakening crystal. Please wait. Leo didn¡¯t wait for much longer as a colourless crystal appeared above the branch leader¡¯s corpse that started disappearing. ¡®Gulp¡¯ Unlike the talent awakening crystals that Leo receives from the [Absolute Devour], he still could not trade the talent awakening crystals from the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. So, he didn¡¯t bother to store it in the storage ring; instead, he swallowed it directly. ¡®Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Orb of Silence]. Please upgrade it. ¡®I am not going to waste my [Promote Points] on the talent that I will be blessing it away.¡¯ However, Leo didn¡¯t bother to upgrade it; instead, he turned his head to Wilson, ¡°Go and start the massacre. Don¡¯t let anyone escape from this building.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± It was Wilson¡¯s first time watching Leo swallow a talent and felt a little scared; however, he thought, ¡®I don¡¯t think he will kill me since he already gave me a talent..wait for a second¡­that talent awakening crystal¡­did he retrieve it from someone!¡¯ When he thought about it, Wilson felt a little weird; however, he stopped thinking about it and focused on clearing the entire manor. ¡°Not bad. He is much richer than Mr. White.¡± As for Leo, after swallowing the talent, he took the storage ring of the Branch Leader and the old servant. ¡®Ding, +50 million Hero coins added to the host¡¯s storage ring. ¡®I wonder whether I will get another 50 million Hero coins in the [Supreme Market].¡¯ Wilson already cleared the entire manor and after that, Leo and Wilson entered the [Supreme Market] that was filled with masked customers. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 900 Golden Tickets (841 / 900). Chapter 312 Five Secret Organizations In the [Supreme Market], ¡°Sir Talent Swallowing Hero, why did you let all the customers of the [Supreme Market] go?¡± Looking at the empty [Supreme Market], Wilson asked Leo with a question mark on his face. ¡°Even though they belonged to one or the other secret organizations, there is no need to kill them as they could spread what happened here to their secret organizations.¡± Leo shook his head and replied in a calm tone. ¡°At least you should have killed those supreme-ranked b*stards. Those b*stards deserved to die.¡± Wilson agreed with Leo¡¯s reasoning; however, he felt they should have killed the dozen supreme-ranked heroes in the [Supreme Market]. After entering the [Supreme Market], Leo and Wilson warned everyone to leave the [Supreme Market]. Seeing that the City Leader and the Talent Swallowing Hero entered the [Supreme Market], almost everyone rushed out of the [Supreme Market]. Of course, there were a dozen supreme-ranked heroes that mocked the City Leader and Leo before fighting them. However, they were easily defeated by Leo and Wilson but Leo didn¡¯t kill them; instead, he let them leave the [Supreme Market]. ¡°I didn¡¯t kill them because I am indirectly telling all the secret Organizations that Starlight City is mine and I am letting them go with a simple beating; however if they dared to set their eyes on the city, I will let them know.¡± Leo wanted to announce to the world that the Talent Swallowing Hero is no longer a rank 9 hero; instead, he sessfully broke through to supreme rank and even reached level 2 in that. He strongly believed that the secret organizations and the city leaders would think twice when they send their men to hunt the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡®Even after learning that I became a level 2 supreme-ranked hero, if they send their men, there is no need to show any mercy.¡¯ Leo and Wilson collected all the valuable things from the [Supreme Market]. Leo only took Hero Coins which were around 60 million whereas Wilson took artifacts, pills, and other misceneous items that might be worth around 20-30 million Hero Coins. ¡®Overall, by destroying the branch of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯, I got 110 million Hero Coins.¡¯ Leo was fully content with the Hero Coins he received as he said a few things to Wilson. ¡°Arlo¡¯s men wille to your city by tomorrow morning. So, you can stop worrying about the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯.¡± After assuring Wilson, Leo directly teleported himself to the delivery location of his items which was 100 kilometers away from Phirie City. ¡­. As soon as he arrived there, Leo removed his mask and changed his attire, and patiently waited for the truck to arrive. ¡®Vroom vroom¡¯ After 30 minutes, three trucks finally arrived at his location and dropped all the enved humans, monsters, and beings. [Seal Swallowing Ability- Bulk swallow] Leo didn¡¯t waste his time with words as he directly swallowed the ve seals before asking them, ¡°Those who want to follow me, they can stay behind and those who want to leave, you can leave.¡± These words were directed at the monsters and the beasts because Leo knew all the humans he freed just now were orphans and didn¡¯t have a family to return to. Even without asking, he could tell they would be following him and Leo already nned to turn them into his citizens. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Thank you, human, for freeing me; however, I want to repay you by following you for the rest of my life.¡¯ However, all the beasts and monsters bowed to Leo and decided to follow Leo. ¡°¡­¡± Leo was only expecting the humans that he freed to be his followers; however, he didn¡¯t expect all the beasts, and the monsters also decided to follow him. ¡®It looks like I can take them.¡¯ Since his city has the Hall of the Monster Gods and Hall of the Bestial Gods, Leo thought it was not bad to take them in. ¡®Let¡¯s go.¡¯ Soon, the floating city above their heads released a shlight and in the next second, everyone, including Leo disappeared and appeared in the city. ¡°Selphie, take care of them.¡± Leo asked the city manager to take care of them in making them citizens. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The elf fairy nodded and started the procedure. ¡°Finally, Ipleted my two tasks in Starlight City.¡± After returning to his room, Leo rxed on his bed for a moment before thinking, ¡®Now, I can focus on the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Lands].¡¯ Soon, he started checking the locations of the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Lands]. ¡®There is one Supreme-ranked [God Ruins] after 1000 kilometers. From that location, the next city will be Supreme Mountain City.¡¯ Since Leo was nning to conquer the cities while traveling towards Evesting City, he already got a map of the cities in the world. ¡®Huh? There is one [God Ruins] and one [Treasure Land] in the [Uncleared Land] of the Supreme Mountian City.¡¯ Leo started nning his next goal and it was clear that two supreme-ranked [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Land] and at the same time conquer the Supreme Mountain City. ¡­ More than one hundred thousand kilometers away from Leo, ¡°Elders, we lost connection with the [Supreme Market] in Starlight City.¡± A rank 9 hero wearing a ck suit informed a group of elders sitting in a room. ¡°What? Another one?¡± There were 10 old men in the meeting room and hearing the rank 9 hero¡¯s words, everyone frowned. ¡°From the information we received, the Talent Swallowing Hero is backing the Starlight City and ording to the customers who escaped from the [Supreme Market], the Talent Swallowing Hero had already be a level 2 supreme-ranked hero.¡± The rank 9 hero informed all the information he received, making the old man shocked. ¡°He is just a young brat who wants to y the hero.¡± Suddenly, a deep voice came from a room connected to the meeting hall as a middle-aged man said, ¡°All five secret organizations decided to form an alliance to take care of the Talent Swallowing Hero.¡± **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 900 Golden Tickets (883 / 900). Chapter 313 [Fundamental Merge] Leo didn¡¯t know that by letting the secret organization know about his real strength didn¡¯t back them down ining after him. Instead, it only made them hunt down the Talent Swallowing Hero as soon as possible before the world assessment started. The reason was simple. With level 2 supreme rank strength along with his unparalleled battle prowess, if the Talent Swallowing Hero participated in the world assessment, his contributions would be over the charts. The leaders of the secret organizations were not as clueless as the normal residents of the world because they knew that those with huge contributions would be rewarded heavily by the ancient voice. Hence, they didn¡¯t want an individual like the Talent Swallowing Hero to participate in the World Assessment. ¡°Leader, how are we going to catch that b*stard? The moment he senses any danger, he will escape without any hesitation.¡± The elders of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ were not surprised that the five secret organizations joined their hands to kill Leo because it was not the first they allied together. However, they didn¡¯t know how they were going to catch the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°We are not going after him anymore; instead, he wille to us.¡± The middle-aged revealed an evil smile as he exined the n to catch the Talent Swallowing Hero. ¡°From each secret organization, one elder and ten supreme-ranked heroes should be joining together and their task is to kill the Talent Swallowing Hero. I want one of you to volunteer in joining that special unit. So, who will it be?¡± The leader of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ looked at the ten elders of his organization and asked for a volunteer; however, no one came forward. Even though these elders have the strength of level 3 and level 4 supreme rank, they were scared of the Talent Swallowing Hero. If it was before, they would have fought to volunteer; however, the Talent Swallowing Hero was no longer a rank 9 hero. He became a level 2 supreme hero and because of his scary talents and battle prowess, no elders were ready toe forward. ¡°It looks like I have to pick an elder myself.¡± The leader became serious when he saw how scared his elders were and picked, ¡°Fifth Elder, pick 10 level 1 supreme-ranked members of our organization and go to the Supreme Mountain City.¡± Except for one old man, the rest of the old men heaved a sigh of relief for not getting picked by the leader. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since there will be 54 supreme-ranked heroes with you, it is not a difficult mission.¡± The leader asked the fifth elder to not worry as he continued, ¡°Moreover, if you canplete the mission sessfully, you can directly be the vice-leader.¡± ¡°What?¡± When they heard the leader¡¯s words, the ten elders were shocked and except for the fifth elder who was excited, the remaining elders were frustrated. ¡°Thank you for such an excellent opportunity, Leader.¡± It was not an easy task to be the vice leader of a secret organization. Hence, the fifth elder was over the moon. With just a few words from the leader, the mission was no longer difficult or tiresome. ¡°By the way, leader, why is the rendezvous point at the Supreme Mountain City?¡± After calming himself down, the fifth elder asked the leader why they were selecting Supreme Mountain City. ¡°The closest city to Starlight City is Supreme Mountain City. So, in the meeting with the other four secret organizations, we deduced that the Talent Swallowing Hero¡¯s next target will be the Supreme Mountain City.¡± The leader exined the reason behind why all the special units formed to kill the Talent Swallowing Hero were gathering at the Supreme Mountain City. ¡°I know the deductions of the secret organizations rarely went wrong; however, isn¡¯t it a little too¡­¡± ¡°Idiot.¡± Before one of the elders could finish his words, the fifth elder mocked him as he said, ¡°The Talent Swallowing Hero has destroyed our branch in Phirie City and next in Starlight City. Isn¡¯t it obvious what his next target will be?¡± ¡°Moreover, there is an uing auction in our [Secret Market] in that city from all the items we recovered recently from exploring the [God Ruins].¡± There was a reason why the leader chose the fifth elder and it was because of his good deduction skills. To catch the Talent Swallowing Hero,pared to the strength, they needed intelligence and most of the secret organizations sent their elders with good observation and deduction skills. ¡°Correct.¡± The leader nodded and urged the elders, ¡°Other than the fifth elders, the remaining elders should focus on finding the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands].¡± Maybe it was because of the uing World Assessment or the aggressive exploration of the secret organizations, they were finding [God Ruins] very easily and clearing them. Therefore, the leader asked them to focus on it. ¡°Yes, Leader.¡± Soon, all the elders left with their own missions, leaving the leader alone in the meeting hall. ¡®Finally, I have collected enough Fragments of the God Stones. I think I can reach level 6 supreme rank and make those b*stards into my servants.¡¯ Without wasting any time, the leader of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ went to his training room and sat in the center of the room. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, 30 ck-coloured stones flew out of his storage ring and hovered in front of him. If Leo was here, he would have been surprised to see 30 Fragments of the God Stones because even though he visited other worlds and explored a [God Ruins], he only had 10; however, the leader of the ¡®Order of the ck Tower¡¯ has 30 of them. ¡®I hope I can merge them.¡¯ With an expectant look on his face, the leader activated his talent, ¡®[Fundamental Merge].¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, among the 30 Fragments of the God Stones, ten of them shone brightly for a moment beforeing closer to merge. ¡®Boom¡¯ However, the process failed and the 10 Fragments of the God Stones disappeared. ¡®Next.¡¯ However, the leader didn¡¯t have any emotion on his face as he repeated the process for the second which ended up in a failure. ¡®Again.¡¯ He didn¡¯t give up as he used thest 10 Fragments of the God Stones to merge them and finally it was sessful. The ten Fragments of the God Stones turned into a fist-sized ck-coloured stone that shone brightly. Just a single look and it was giving an aura of a divine item. ¡°Finally¡­finally¡­I made it.¡± Looking at the fist-sized ck-coloured stone in front of him, the leader of the ¡®ck Tower¡¯ had mixed emotions as he slowly took the shining stone into his hands. ¡°I have it¡­the God Stones from the records left behind by the Otherworldy Beings.¡± The leader still felt he was dreaming and held the God Stone closer to his heart as he revealed an excited smile. ¡®It¡¯s time to break through.¡¯ Soon, the middle-aged man didn¡¯t waste any time as he took onest look at the God Stone before putting it in his mouth. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (918 / 1000). Chapter 314 Dark Lightning Bull A few hundred kilometers away from the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins]. Leo waspletely oblivious of the team formed by the five secret organizations to kill the Talent Swallowing Hero. Instead, he was busy clearing the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully clearing the [God Ruins]. You can leave the [God Ruins] whenever you want. Since Leo had the full information about the [God Ruins] from the [Book of the God Ruins], it only took him less than ten minutes to clear the [God Ruins]. ¡®From the ten items I received from this [God Ruins], other than the two ¡®Fragments of the God Stones¡¯, there was nothing useful.¡¯ Even though he had full information on how to clear the [God Ruins], he didn¡¯t have the information on what rewards the [God Ruins] are holding. ¡®Anyway, the remaining items can be used by my followers.¡¯ The remaining rewards from the [God Ruins] were ¡®Talent Upgrading Stones¡¯ of various sses below the supreme-grade. Even though they were useful to him, Leo didn¡¯t waste them because he had [Promote Points] to upgrade his talents and skills. Moreover, he was nning to give away his talents and skills. No matter how high the level of his talents and skills were, when he blessed them to his followers or friends, they had to start from the beginning. ¡®Anyway, adding the two Fragments of the God Stones, I have a total of 12 of them. I wonder how many new abilities I can unlock with them.¡¯ Earlier, he got two Fragments of the God Stones from the Branch Leader he killed. With the passage of time, the Fragments of the God Stones on Leo also increased steadily. ¡®I will wait for another three days and collect a few more Fragments of the God Stones before speeding up the System Upgrade.¡¯ Previously, Leo didn¡¯t want to use the Fragments of the God Stones to speed up the System Upgrade because he thought he had limited Fragments of the God Stones. However, after getting his hands on the [Book of the God Ruins], Leo knew by clearing all of them, he would be getting at least 50 Fragements of the God Stones. Therefore, he decided to spend three Fragements of the God Stones to reduce the system upgrade time by three weeks. Since it¡¯s already been six days since the System started its upgrade, Leo decided to instantlyplete the system upgrade because the system upgrade time would be left with exactly 21 days after three days. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t have any time to rest.¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste any time as he teleported towards the Uncleared Land of the Supreme Mountain City. ¡­ The unclearednd of the Supreme Mountain City is called the Supreme Dark Forest. It was one of the most dangerous unclearednds in the world and even supreme-ranked heroes would enter it with caution. As the name suggests, the entire area was fully covered with huge trees that have ck leaves. From the sky view, the entire region looks like a hole because the leaves of those trees were pitch-ck. Because of the low vision in the region, those below Supreme rank don¡¯t even think of entering it, leaving it to the supreme-ranked heroes to take care of it. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®The entrance to the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins] should be here.¡¯ Soon, a portal opened as Leo walked out of it and searched for the entrance to his next [God Ruins]. [Super Vision] Since it was dark even though it was afternoon, Leo used one of his talents that could enhance his eye power and even let him see in the dark. ¡®Looks like a human has finally arrived to open the [God Ruins].¡¯ ¡®Our waiting has finally paid off.¡¯ Two pairs of red eyes watched Leo search for the entrance of the [God Ruins] as they patiently waited for Leo to find the entrance and open it. ¡®It looks like he knew about the [God Ruins].¡¯ ¡®I wonder how that human knew about it?¡¯ Seeing how Leo was searching for the [God Ruins], the two beasts that were watching Leo frowned at Leo¡¯s actions. ¡®Who cares about it? As soon as he opens it, let¡¯s enter the [God Ruins] and kill him.¡¯ One of the beasts suggested the second beast. ¡®Why should we kill him? If not for the human, the [God Ruins] would have opened who knows when.¡¯ However, the second beast berated the first beast and said, ¡®Let¡¯s be grateful to him finally putting an end to our waiting.¡¯ ¡°Sure¡­sure.¡± The first beast nodded and agreed with the second beast. ¡®Beasts that know how to be grateful are rare.¡¯ The little conversation didn¡¯t escape Leo¡¯s ears as he revealed a slight smile on his face and called out, ¡°I have already seen you. You cane out.¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ The two beasts hiding some distance away from Leo¡¯s location were shocked when they heard Leo¡¯s words and unconsciously raised their guards before walking out of their hiding ce. It waspletely dark; however, the two beasts and Leo could see everything around them as clear as a day. ¡®Ding, Mutated Beast Name: Nocturnal Demonic Bull. Strength: Level 1 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero. ¡®Ding, Mutated Beast Name: Dark Lightning Bull. Strength: Level 1 Supreme-ranked Beast Hero. ¡®Thier names sound powerful.¡¯ Leo checked their information briefly as he silently thought of something. Since he was in the middle of the Supreme Dark Forest, Leo was not surprised that the beasts he encountered were of supreme rank. ¡°Want to enter the [God Ruins]?¡± Leo asked them with a slight smile and the two bulls nodded their heads without any hesitation. ¡°However, it is useless for you to enter this [God Ruins].¡± Since Leo already knew about the [God Ruins], he knew it was mainly useful for the humans andpletely useless for the beasts and the monsters. Hence, he informed them it was useless for them to enter the [God Ruins] behind Leo because the rewards were mostly beneficial for the humans. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes. Why will I lie to you?¡± Leo shrugged his arms. The two bulls looked at Leo for a moment andpletely believed his words. They didn¡¯t know how Leo knew about the [God Ruins] so much and didn¡¯t even bother to question him about it; instead, they said something else. ¡°Even though we believe your words, it is a supreme-ranked [God Ruins]. No matter how useless a supreme-ranked [God Ruins] is, it will at least give us something, right?¡± ¡°Also, since you are opening the [God Ruins], you can take all the rewards that were useful to the human race while we casually take a stroll in the [God Ruins].¡± The two bulls were adamant on entering the [God Ruins]. ¡®Why do I keep encounter this dumb bulls that were adamant on their beliefs?¡¯ In the begining, Leo thought these bulls were intelligent; however, after listening to their words, he believed they had anicent bull genes in them. ¡°Suit yourself.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to argue with them and let them enter the [God Ruins] as he thought, ¡®I will tame them after they finish their so-called strolling in the [God Ruins].¡¯ Soon, Leo opened the entrance to the [God Ruins] and entered the portal along with two medium-sized bulls. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (929 / 1000).

With the help of the information about the [God Ruins], Leo cleared it in no time and after he received thest reward from the [God Ruins], the system projected all the rewards he had gained. ¡®It looks like I am quite lucky to get four Fragments of the God Stones.¡¯ Among the ten types of items he received from the [God Ruins], the Fragments of the God Stones were the most valuable for him followed by the fifth and tenth items. ¡®Except for these three items, I will give the remaining rewards to my citizens and followers.¡¯ For Leo, whether it was basic resources or supreme resources, he wouldn¡¯t reject any of them as he had enough followers and citizens that were growing rapidly. ¡®Mooh¡¯ ¡®Mooh¡¯ The Nocturnal Demon Bull and the Dark Lightning Bull bellowed at Leo who was checking out his rewards from the [God Ruins] to let him know their presence. ¡°Except for the Fragments of the God Stones, there is nothing useful for you.¡± Of course, Leo didn¡¯t forget about the two bulls that were quietly following him as Leo cleared the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins]. ¡°Yes, there is nothing useful for us; however¡­¡± The two supreme-ranked bulls were shocked by how easily the human in front of them could kill the Supreme-ranked monsters and beasts inside the [God Ruins]. Therefore, they were more respectful than before as he slowly asked about something. ¡°Even those Fragments of the God Stones were not much use for you, the supreme-ranked mutated beasts.¡± However, before they could finish their words, Leo could tell what they wanted. Hence, he cut them off in the middle. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± If they had not witnessed Leo¡¯s battle prowess, they might have fought with Leo; however, when they heard Leo¡¯s words, the two bulls remained silent. What Leo said was the truth as it was a known fact that the Fragments of the God Stones were invaluable treasures for rank 7 heroes. As the hero rank of a human or beast or monster increases, the value of the Fragment of the God Stones decreases. A rank 9 hero can increase the potential of his talent by 10 percent with the help of the Fragment of the God Stones whereas the Supreme-ranked hero might not be able to increase the potential of his talent by one percent. On the other hand, these Fragments of the God Stones were valuable for Leo because not only could he unlock new system abilities but he could also speed up the upgrade time of his system. Therefore, Leo had no intention of giving the Fragments of the God Stones to his family or followers, not to mention to the two bulls that he met a few minutes back. ¡°Exit¡± After storing all the rewards from the [God Ruins], Leo exited the [God Ruins] with the two bulls. ¡°Thanks for broadening our horizons, Sir Human.¡± ¡°We will take our leave.¡± Since the [God Ruins] were already cleared, there was nothing the two supreme-ranked bulls could do other than go back to find another way to grow stronger before the World Assessment. Just like how humans would be rewarded depending on their contribution for sessfully passing the World Assessment, the monsters and the beasts would also be rewarded depending on how many humans and how much damage they have done to sessfully invade the world. To survive, not only humans but even the monsters and the mutated beasts have to continuously strengthen in their god-forsaken world. ¡°Wait a second.¡± However, Leo stopped them as he had other ns for them. ¡°Sir Human?¡± The two bulls stopped in their tracks as they turned around and looked at Leo. ¡°Are you willing to be my followers?¡± Leo didn¡¯t waste his time beating around the bush in front of the dumb bulls as he directly came to the main point. ¡°Even though you have enough strength, once the World Assessment starts, your strength would be nothing in front of the monsters that would being through the portals.¡± Before they could say anything, Leo continued to say, ¡°As long as you swear your loyalty to me, I will once again make you the natives of this world.¡± ¡°Really? You can do that?¡± The two bulls were surprised when they heard Leo¡¯s offer. The two bulls were originally the native of the world; however, after they were mutated into the Nocturnal Demon Bull and the Dark Lightning Bull, they were no longer natives. Instead, they were the mutated beasts whose status was the same as those monsters that poured out of the portals. ¡°But, isn¡¯t it impossible to do that? How can you do that?¡± However, as they remembered the discussions of the mutated beasts from the past, the two bulls asked Leo with some doubt. Generally, swearing loyalty to humans won¡¯t change their status from non-natives to natives. Hence, they asked how Leo could do that. Even though they learned it was impossible in the past, hearing Leo¡¯s words, they believed. ¡°Do you believe my words? If so, swear your loyalty and I will keep my promise.¡± However, Leo didn¡¯t bother to exin anything as he asked them whether they could swear their loyalty to him or not. ¡°Yes¡± The two bulls looked at Leo for a moment before nodding their heads. ¡®Looks like my special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer] is working.¡¯ Leo was not surprised by the two bulls¡¯ reply as he revealed a slight smile and gave full credit to his special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer]. ¡®Ding, The Nocturnal Demon Bull and Dark Lightning Bull swore their loyalty to the host. ¡®Ding, One of the upgrade requirements for the [Mighty Terra Bull Transformation] is progressed. ¡®Ding, Tame bull-type beings: (3/5). 1) Terra Minotaur Tyrant. 2) Dark Lightning Bull. 3) Nocturnal Demon Bull. ¡®Ding, Note: If the host can¡¯t keep his promise, the loyalty of the bulls will fall and they will leave the host. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo¡¯s head. ¡®Of course, I know.¡¯ Even with his special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer], he could not promise some random things to the bulls he was nning to tame because if he could not keep his promise, not only the bulls he tamed would leave him but the effects of the [Mighty Bull Tamer] would decrease. ¡®As long as I keep my promise while taming the bulls, the special talent¡¯s potential would also increase.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he opened the portal, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Since you swear your loyalty to me, it is time for me to keep my promise.¡± Soon, Leo took them to his Floating City to keep his promise. ¡­. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡°Damn it¡­I amte again.¡± One hour after Leo left, a young man arrived at the location of the [God Ruins] and clenched his fists in anger when he saw the already cleared [God Ruins]. ¡®100 kilometers away from here, there is a [Treasure Land], I have to enter it at any cost.¡¯ With that thought in his head, the young man rushed in a specific direction. **** Author Note for messing up the release timing: Took a break from writing for a few days due to health issues and now, it¡¯s hard to get back to writing¡­^.^ ¡°Give me motivation¡± **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (929 / 1000).

However, Leo, as the city leader of the Golden Hawk City, could ept them as his citizens. Since the Golden Hawk City is in the human world, its citizens would naturally be the natives of this world. Of course, even Leo didn¡¯t know about it until he epted his monster and beast followers as the citizens. ¡®Since I kept my word, I can now go and clear the [Treasure Land].¡¯ Leo gave the information about the two beast-type [God Ruins] to the two bulls to clear as he teleported out of the city. He was not worried about the bull encountering the men from the secret organization. With their strength of supreme rank, they were naturally more powerful than the level 1 supreme-ranked humans with one or two talents. Also, before leaving the city, he gave all the rewards he gained from clearing two supreme-ranked [God Ruins] to city manager Selphie to distribute to the citizens. ¡­.. In another corner of the Supreme Dark Forest. After a few teleportations, Leo finally arrived at his destination. There were no major differences between the entrances for the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Lands] and because of that reason, most of them get confused between the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Lands]. ¡®I wonder whether there was any remnant spirit inside this [Treasure Land]. Also, I am more curious about the items that were waiting for me inside it.¡¯ The first [Treasure Land] that Leo entered had given quite a good boost in his strength along with a God Stone and other valuable items. So, he was curious about the item inside the [Treasure Land] as he opened the entrance. As for why he was thinking about a remnant spirit was because he wanted to interact more with them. The more he interacted with them, the more he could learn about the things about the ancient voice that was ying with the lives of all living beings. ¡®Compared to before, I have learned a lot of things and have a mind full of questions to ask. I hope I can meet at least one of the remnant spirits inside the [Treasure Land].¡¯ Leo clenched his fists and looked at the entrance that waspletely opened. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Suddenly, a bright golden light shot into the sky from the entrance. ¡®Ding, The entrance to the [Treasure Land] is open and it will remain open for another 10 minutes. ¡®Let¡¯s enter.¡¯ He didn¡¯t waste any time and entered with a thought, ¡®I hope I get another good boost from this [Treasure Land].¡¯ Leo was not surprised by the bright light shot into the sky because he already knew about it. That¡¯s why Leo decided to have a head startpared to the participants that would being next. ¡­. ¡®Hey, what is that?¡¯ ¡®The golden light ising from the Supreme Dark Forest.¡¯ ¡®I think it is the birth of treasure.¡¯ ¡®Too bad, I am still a rank 8 hero. That treasure is appearing in the Supreme Dark Forest. Even the level 1 supreme-ranked heroes have to be careful while entering it.¡¯ ¡®Pity¡­even rank 9 heroes don¡¯t dare to enter it, I am just an unawakened human.¡¯ . . . Everyone in the world could see the Golden Light shot into the sky. With a single nce, they could tell the golden light was rted to some kind of treasure; however, almost everyone below supreme rank didn¡¯t dare to risk their lives. ¡­.. ¡°Is it my luck that I am in the Supreme Mountain City? Or is it my bad luck that all the supreme-ranked heroes from other secret organizations are here?¡± The supreme-ranked heroes from the secret organizations who were stationed at the Supreme Mountain City were both happy and sad looking at the golden light in the sky. Since there were so many of them and only one golden light, most of them thought only one treasure was about to appear. Therefore, it was inevitable for them to fight for it. As for the Talent Swallowing Hero, they used an excuse that the Talent Swallowing Hero would be going to the ce where the treasure was going to appear. ¡­.. Not only them, the supreme-ranked heroes, those who didn¡¯t have much work rushed towards the golden light. Sadly, the leaders of the secret organizations fell into that category. Just like everyone, they assumed the golden light was rted to the appearance of a treasure and they were so busy with their own things that they could not stop them in the middle to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers for a single treasure. Other than that, Leo¡¯s followers also didn¡¯t bother about the golden light as they sped up the things in clearing their own [God Ruins]. ¡­ In Dragon City, ¡°Old man, it looks like [Treasure Land] has opened.¡± The young city leader revealed an excited smile on his face when he saw the golden light and hurriedly ordered the old man. ¡°Dragon Summoning Hero, are you nning to visit it? The entrance of the [Tresure Lands] will be open for 10 minutes. You can reach it in time.¡± The old man seemed like he knew a few things about the [Treasure Land] as he replied to the young man. ¡°Let¡¯s see whether I can reach it in time or not.¡± The young man didn¡¯t bother much about it as he shouted, ¡°Azure Wind Dragon,e out.¡± ¡®Roar¡¯ In the next second, a huge azure-coloured dragon appeared in front of the young man that let out a roar that shook the entire surroundings. ¡°Dragon Summoning Hero, if you leave the city¡­¡± ¡°Dragon God¡¯s Protection, activate.¡± Before the old man could finish his words, a thin golden-coloured barrier appeared around the city. ¡°Bring everyone above the supreme rank and meet me at the [Treasure Land].

Chapter 317 Abyssal Demon God Inside the [Treasure Land], ¡®ording to the author of the Book of the [God Ruins], the owner of this [Treasure Land] is demonic in nature that takes pleasure when others fight and kill each other over the treasures.¡¯ Leo silently muttered to himself, ¡®I don¡¯t think he will leave behind some trashy items.¡¯ Since the creator of this [Treasure Land] takes pleasure in the others¡¯ fight, the item he left in the [Treasure Land] should be valuable enough to create that effect. Hence, Leo was not worried about the items as he was sure about finding some valuable items. At the same time, he was not worried about those who were rushing towards the [Treasure Land] to enter. ¡®Since the entrance of the [Treasure Land] will be open for only 10 minutes, I don¡¯t think there will be more participants.¡¯ Just the location of the [Treasure Land] was enough to scare away almost everyone below the Supreme rank. Even among the supreme-rank heroes, not everyone was willing to risk their lives over a treasure because they worked hard to reach the supreme rank and finally enjoyed the fruits of their hard work. Therefore, they would not take risks when they were already in the top one percent of the world. ¡®This [Treasure Land] looks simr to the first [Treasure Land] I entered.¡¯ Leo checked his surroundings which were filled with a serene environment with green trees, and mountains. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As Leo was checking out the surroundings, a figure materialized in the mid-air. It was a remnant spirit of a human that wore tattered ck-coloured robes and emitted a ck demon aura from his illusionary body. The moment he appeared, the remnant spirit weed Leo with an evil chuckle that could make the normal participants shiver. However, Leo remained nonchnt as he already got a piece of brief information about the creator of this [Treasure Land]. ¡®Abyssal Demon God, one of the strongest three otherworldly beings that appeared when humanity was on itsst leg. Even though he came to the rescue of your world, don¡¯t misunderstand that he wanted to help the humans; instead, he had his own reasons toe.¡¯ ¡®Nevertheless, when everyone was creating the [Treasure Lands] and [God Ruins], he also decided to create one [Treasure Land]; however, I have a bad feeling about it as his evil smile was still lingering in my eyes while creating his [Treasure Land].¡¯ ¡®So, while entering the [Treasure Land], don¡¯t take your friends or family with you. Also, even though he gave the full information on his [Treasure Land], don¡¯tpletely trust it and use your instincts and abilities to clear it.¡¯ Leo clearly remembered each and every single word the owner of the Book of the [God Ruins] mentioned regarding the creator of the [Treasure Land]. ¡®I have to be careful.¡¯ With that thought in mind, Leo listened to the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God. The Abyssal Demon God used the same concept as the War God¡¯s [Treasure Land] regarding how to receive the treasures from the [Treasure Land]. ¡°How do I get the Treasure Points?¡± Leo remained calm because he already knew about it as he asked how to get the treasure points. In the War God¡¯s [Treasure Land], the participants could get the treasure points by killing the illusionary mutated beasts and the monsters. Another way to get the treasure points was by killing the other participants and the killer gets all the treasure points from the participant he killed. Nevertheless, in that [Treasure Land] death was not real as the dead participants would be teleported out of the [Treasure Land]. However, Leo didn¡¯t think that would be the case for this [Treasure Land] because the author of the Book of the [God Ruins] informed us that death might be real in the [Treasure Land]. Therefore, he suggested to those who get their hands on the ¡®Book of the [God Ruins]¡¯ to be careful. The remnant spirit didn¡¯t exin anything about the [Treasure Land] and asked Leo to wait. ¡®As I expected, this b*stard didn¡¯t set any specific rules for the [Treasure Land].¡¯ Even though Leo guessed it, there was nothing he could do about it other than waiting. Suddenly, the remnant spirit spoke something that made Leo a little doubtful regarding the remarks made by the author of the ¡®Book of the [God Ruins]. The remnant spirit looked excited when it said those words and replied to Leo, ¡®Any item below the Gold Section?¡¯ Leo was pleasantly surprised with the remnant spirit¡¯s reward for opening the [Treasure Land]. ¡®Is this some kind of trap?¡¯ However, when he thought about the remarks by the author of the ¡®Book of the [God Ruins], Leo could not help but think it was a trap. Seeing that Leo was not entering the [Treasure Room], the remnant spirit urged him to enter quickly. ¡°How about I change my reward to something else?¡± When he heard the remnant spirit¡¯s words, Leo became even sure that there was something wrong. ¡®Even though the remnant spirit can¡¯t kill the participants entered into the [Treasure Land], there is no need to be greedy.¡¯ This was the thought in Leo¡¯s head as he thought of a good n as he asked the remnant spirit whether he could change what he wanted. ¡°It is simple. All I want¡­.¡± Soon, Leo exined what he wanted for his reward for opening the [Treasure Land]. After hearing what Leo wanted for his reward, the remnant spirit instantly agreed without any hesitation. To Leo¡¯s surprise, the remnant spirit asked Leo whether he was sure about his request. ¡°I am 100 percent sure.¡± Leo nodded his head and continued to say, ¡°It will make you even more entertained. Isn¡¯t it?¡± When he ended his words, Leo revealed an evil smile, making the remnant spirit also do the same. The remnant spirit acted generously and offered the same reward as before, making Leo think, ¡®What the hell is wrong with him? Why does he want me to enter the [Treasure Room]?

There is no need for extra rewards anymore.¡¯ After thinking for a moment, Leo denied the opportunity to enter the [Treasure Room] to pick one item from the [Gold Section]. <¡­> The remnant spirit looked at Leo for a moment and thought, ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As both Leo and the remnant spirit were looking at each other, a portal opened and two supreme-ranked heroes walked out of it. After seeing how determined Leo was, the remnant spirit didn¡¯t bother Leo to enter the [Treasure Room] anymore. Instead, he looked at the two newly arrived supreme-ranked heroes and rewarded them with a simr offer. ¡°Thank you for such a grand reward, Sir remnant spirit. We will ept it.¡± The two supreme-ranked heroes were still in a daze upon entering the [Treasure Land] and when they heard the words [Treasure Land], they became excited and hurriedly nodded their heads. ¡°What about you? Are you still not interested in entering the [Treasure Room]? You can pick any items from the tinum and below-ranked sections.¡± The remnant spirit didn¡¯t send the two supreme-ranked heroes to the [Treasure Room]; instead, he looked at Leo and asked onest time. ¡°Not interested. I will use the treasure points to buy them.¡± Leo shook his head as he looked at the two supreme-ranked heroes with pity. ¡®Scoff¡¯ On the other hand, the two supreme-ranked heroes scoffed at Leo for not epting the reward. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ In the next second, a portal emitting golden light from it appeared in front of the two supreme-ranked heroes. Unlike before when he urged Leo to ept the reward, the remnant spirit was calm andposed because the two supreme-ranked heroes had already fallen into his trap. Hence, he felt there was no need to urge them into entering the trap as the remnant spirit was fully confident in the two fools. ¡®Ding, The entrance to the Grade 5 Abyssal Demon World. Even an ant will have the strength of Legend rank. Note: If you want to die, it is a perfect ce to enter because you won¡¯t even know how you died. Leo frowned when he saw the sudden appearance of the portal and even before he could ask, the system sent the information of the portal to his head. ¡®What the¡­.so, it was really a trap.¡¯ Leo felt relieved that he was being careful and rejected the generous offer from the remnant spirit. With his current strength, Leo might be able to survive in a grade 2 world for a few days but it would be hard to survive in a grade 3 world, not to mention the portal leads to a grade 5 world. ¡®Even an ant will have the strength of the Legend rank and with my current strength, I can¡¯t even kill a level 5 or level 6 supreme-ranked being, not to mention the legend-ranked beings that werepletely on a different level.¡¯ Leo knew no matter how lucky the two supreme-ranked heroes were, they could not survive for long in a grade 5 world like Abyssal Demon World. ¡°Thank you, Sir remnant spirit.¡± The two supreme-ranked heroes were notplete fools as they have some knowledge about the remnant spirits. A remnant spirit of a [God Ruins] or a [Treasure Land] could not harm the participants directly. Therefore, they didn¡¯t think much about it and believed in the remnant spirit. After thanking the remnant spirit once again, the two supreme-heroes entered the portal. Of course, they didn¡¯t forget to scoff at Leo for leaving a generous reward. ¡®¡­¡¯ Even though Leo knew the portal doesn¡¯t lead them to the [Treasure Room] and leads them to their deaths, Leo didn¡¯t bother about it as he didn¡¯t want to be in the bad books of the remnant spirit from the beginning itself. ¡®Even though I didn¡¯t take his offer, it was not a big deal; however, if I stop the two supreme-heroes from entering the portal, it will be akin to stealing the prey from the tiger¡¯s mouth.¡¯ Leo shook his head as he continued to think, ¡®Moreover, judging from their attitude, I don¡¯t think they would listen to my words.¡¯ Maybe the remnant spirit wants Leo to watch the scenes or rather he wanted to watch it for himself, he didn¡¯t close the portal after the two supreme-ranked heroes entered it. ¡®Growl¡¯ ¡®Aargh¡­aargh¡¯ The moment they entered the portal, growls could be heard in the next second, hundreds of the ck-coloured beasts that Leo had never seen before, pounced on them and ate them in just a few seconds. ¡®Roar¡¯ After finishing their meals, the beasts looked at Leo and roared at him; however, not a single one of them rushed towards him. ¡®Ding, Lifeform Name: Hungry Abyssal Beast. Strength: Unknown. Skills: Unknown. More Information: The low-level beast of the Abyssal Demon World that has insatiable hunger but it can¡¯t die even if it didn¡¯t consume anything for decades. As usual, the system sent the information of a beast that was roaring at him. ¡®I wonder what level that beast is.¡¯ Leo knew that the system would have definitely shown the strength if the beast was at legend rank and since it didn¡¯t know, Leo guessed it would be above legend grade. Soon, he was curious about the rank beyond Legend rank. After a few seconds, the portal to the grade 5 Abyssal Demon World closed as the remnant spirit asked Leo with an evil chuckle. ¡°Yeah. It was good and broadened my horizons.¡± Leo was telling the truth as he really broadened his horizons. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (977 / 1000). Chapter 319 Infernal Dragonborn and Silvermoon Wolf ¡°Test? One million treasure points?¡± Leo was a little surprised as he saw tiny light particles enter his body. ¡®Ding, One million treasure points are collected by the host. Even without the system notification, Leo knew that tiny light particles were treasure points that could be used to redeem the treasures from hte [Treasure Room]. The remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God informed Leo, As soon as he finished his words, the remnant spirit disappeared without a trace. ¡®I wonder what he was going to prepare in the next five minutes. Anyway, let¡¯s not think about it; instead, it¡¯s time to pick the [Treasure Room].¡¯ Since he has one million treasure points, he would easily get ess to the lowest section of the [Treasure Room]. Therefore, Leo no longer hesitated and he decided to enter the [Treasure Room]. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ However, before he could even think about entering the [Treasure Room], he saw portals appear all around him as more and more participants walked out of them. ¡°I thought a treasure was appearing in this Supreme Dark Forest; however, who would have thought it is a [Treasure Land].¡± ¡°Everyone, stay alert. We need to collect as many treasures as possible from this [Treasure Land].¡± ¡®Let¡¯s kill the members of the other secret organizations if it¡¯s necessary.¡¯ ¡®It is a very good opportunity for our organization to be more powerful. Let¡¯s find an opportunity to kill others and monopolize the rewards from this [Treasure Land].¡¯ There were more than 100 supreme-ranked participants that entered the [Treasure Land] and around 60 of them belonged to the five secret organizations. Of course, among those 60 supreme-ranked heroes, 55 were specially stationed in the Supreme Mountain City for the sake of capturing the Talent Swallowing Hero. As for the remaining five, they were the branch leaders of the five secret organizations that were stationed at the Supreme Mountain City. In the remaining 40 supreme-ranked heroes, there were a few city leaders of the cities closer to the Supreme Dark Forest, a few dozen mercenaries that were looking for opportunities in the Supreme Dark Forest. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ That number of participants entering the [Treasure Land] didn¡¯t stop as more and more portals opened. However, this time, the participants were no longer humans; instead, they were Supreme-ranked monsters and mutated beasts that lived in the Supreme Dark Forest. ¡®As I guessed,pared to humans, there were more monsters and mutated beasts entering the [Treasure Land].¡¯ As of now, including Leo, there were around 100 supreme-ranked humans in the [Treasure Land]. On the other hand, there were more than 1000 supreme-ranked monsters and mutated beastsbined. Nevertheless, Leo already guessed it because the Supreme Dark Forest was thend of supreme-ranked Monsters and Mutated beasts. Since the [Treasure Land] is in the middle of the Supreme Dark Forest, without a doubt, all the supreme-ranked monsters and the mutated beasts would enter the [Treasure Land]. ¡®Anyway, it is a good thing. I can increase my undead army with all these supreme-ranked monsters and mutated beasts.¡¯ Leo silently thought in his head as he muttered, ¡®For now, I will enter the [Treasure Room] and check out the items in it.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Soon, Leo disappeared from his ce without a trace and no one noticed his disappearance because they were busy with their own nning on how to clear the [Treasure Land]. Those from the secret organziations were nning to kill the members from the other secret organization because they were already vying to be the top secret organization to take over the full control of the human world. The clear leaders already know each other and after seeing the number of participants in the [Treasure Land], they decided to ally with each other topete for the treasures in the [Treasure Land]. It was the same with the mercenaries. Even though they didn¡¯t like to form alliance in normal asions, they decided topromise their principles for the sake of the treasures in the [Teasure Land]. In the end, among the 100 human participants, there were a total of seven factions. ¡°I, Infernal Dragonborn don¡¯t want to kill the fellow monsters for the treasures. Join my faction and I will promise you some nice rewards after leaving the [Treasure Land].¡± ¡°All the mutated beasts can join me and I will look after you even after going out of the [Treasure Land].¡± Simrly, the monsters and the beasts started to create their own factions. However, unlike the humans who created seven groups in the 100, the monsters and the mutated beasts only created one group each. The monsters were led by Inferno Dragonborn whereas the mutated beasts were led by the Silvermoon Wolf. Of course, there were some individual monsters and mutated beasts that didn¡¯t like to join any factions and acted alone because they had enough strength to survive without joining any factions. ¡­.. Hundred kilomteres away from the [Treasure Land], ¡°Go¡­fly faster. The entrance of the [Treasure Land] will close any time now.¡± The young man urged his azure dragon to fly faster and the dragon was doing its best to please its master. ¡°There is the entrance. You can do it, Azur.¡± The Azure Wind Dragon flew at an incredible speed and within less than a minute, he finally saw the golden entrance of the [Treasure Land] in the distance. Seeing that, the young man became excited; however, in the next second, his excited face turned ugly as he saw the entrace to the [Treasure Land] started closing. ¡®No..no¡­no¡­I have to enter it at any cost.¡¯ The young man urged the dragon; however, it was of no use because before the dragon could reach, the entrance to the [Treasure Land] waspletely closed. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Luxury Car, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (977 / 1000). Chapter 320 Rules for the First Trial ¡®Damn it¡­if only I hadn¡¯t wasted my time in giving orders to the old man, I would have reached the [Treasure Land].¡¯ The Dragon Summoning Hero clenched his fists in anger as he cursed the old man. ¡®Judging from the brightness of the golden light, this must be created by one of the three strongest otherworldly beings that visited this world. There must be some good items inside.¡¯ The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and in the end, the Dragon Summoning Hero decided to vent his frustration on his old servant. ¡­ Inside the [Treasure Land], ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Leo appeared in the [Treasure Room] that looked just like the one in the War God¡¯s [Treasure Land]. Leo waspletely oblivious to the factions among the humans, monsters, and mutated beasts. Even if he was not oblivious, he would have not joined any faction as he doesn¡¯t want unnecessary baggage unless they were his followers or family. Currently, he was focused on spending the one million treasure points he received from the remnant spirit. ¡®Mirror, wake up.¡¯ Leo walked to the center of the empty room where there was a hovering mirror. cing his hand on it, Leo silently muttered to himself. [Treasure Room] [Bronze] [Silver] [Gold] [tinum] [Diamond] Soon, the mirror shone with a bright light, and when the light disappeared a few words appeared on it. However, only the first two sections were avable as the remaining sections were grey in colour which means they were not avable yet. ¡®Let¡¯s see the items from the Bronze Section.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t rush things as he knew he could check the items from the two sections. So, he started from the bottom section. ¡®Swiish¡¯ [Bronze Section] of the [Treasure Room]. 1) Fragment of the God Stone x 1 (100000 treasure points). 2) Fragment of the God Stone x 1 (100000 treasure points). . . . 10) Fragment of the God Stone x 1 (100000 treasure points). Soon, the list of items in the [Bronze Section] appeared in front of Leo. ¡®Even though I was expecting to get Fragments of the God Stones from this [Treasure Land], I never expected to see 10 of them in the lowest section of the [Treasure Land].¡¯ Looking at the 10 Fragments of the God Stones, Leo was surprised a little because it was just the lowest section of the [Treasure Room] and there were already ten Fragments of the God Stones. Hence, Leo became expectant of the items in the higher sections of the [Treasure Land]. ¡®Let¡¯s see what is stored inside the [Silver Section] of the [Treasure Room].¡¯ With the one million treasure points he received from the remnant spirit, Leo could buy all the Fragments of the God Stones; however, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he decided to check the items in the [Silver Section]. ¡®Swiish¡¯ [Silver Section] of the [Treasure Room]. 1) Random Grade 1 World Ticket x 1 (250000 treasure points). 2) Specific Grade 1 World Ticket x 1 (300000 treasure points). 3) God Stone x 1 (One million treasure points). Soon, the mirror shed a little as it showed the items inside the [Silver Section] along with their prices. ¡®Interesting.¡¯ Looking at the three items on the mirror screen, Leo could not help but think, ¡®Even though the Abyssal Demon God takes pleasure in others¡¯ fights, he is very generous when ites to his [Treasure Land].¡¯ In the War God¡¯s [Treasure Land], Leo received the God Stone in the [Diamond Section], which was thest section of the [Treasure Room] whereas, in this [Treasure Land], a God Stone is stored in the second section of the [Treasure Room]. From this alone, it could be said how different the two [Treasure Lands] were. ¡®Of course, in the War God¡¯s [Treasure Land], no matter how careless you are, you won¡¯t die; however, in the Abyssal Demon God¡¯s [Treasure Land], no matter how careful you are, there is a high chance of dying.¡¯ Leopared the two [Treasure Lands] under his breath after seeing the items in the [Silver Section]. ¡®As the risk increases, the reward also increases!¡¯ It was the mostmon equation in life and Leo stopped thinking about it and decided to spend some treasure points. ¡®No matter which item I buy first, it doesn¡¯t matter as I will be taking them all.¡¯ Even though Leo sounded arrogant and overconfident, he had the strength to back his words. Hence, he didn¡¯t waste his time thinking about which item he had to buy now as he cleared the [Bronze Section] of the [Treasure Room]. ¡®Ding, One million treasure points are deducted from the host¡¯s ount. A system notification rang in his head as Leo saw the mirror screen sh a little as ten Fragments of the God Stones flew out of the mirror and hovered in front of Leo. [As the first participant to redeem the treasure points the host will be given a 10 percent discount on the current transaction and all uing transactions.] ¡®Huh?¡¯ Leo was surprised to read those words and soon, he saw the tiny light particles enter his body. ¡®Ding, +100000 treasure points added to the host¡¯s ount. ¡®Whether I have a discount or not, it really doesn¡¯t matter.¡¯ Other than a little surprise, Leo was not excited about the discount because it waspletely useless for him. ¡®I wille back after I have more than five million treasure points.¡¯ Soon, he set a small goal for himself as he left the [Treasure Room]. ¡­.. As soon as Leo appeared, the remnant spirit started his speech by saying wee three times. Soon, the remnant spirit gave the basic information on his [Treasure Land] as he continued, ¡°Sir Remnant Spirit, how do we get the Treasure Points?¡± One of the participants asked the remnant spirit regarding the treasure points. The remnant spirit nodded his head and said, The remnant spirit chuckled with an evil smile on his face and continued, In short, he exined how many treasure points the participants would get by killing the Supreme-ranked Hungry Abyssal Beasts. All the participants including Leo were listening to the remnant spirit¡¯s words as he didn¡¯t want to miss anything. ¡®What?¡¯ **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (988 / 1000). Chapter 321 [Bonus chapter] While Others Work Hard, I Cultivate Peacefully ¡®What?¡¯ Hearing thest rules of the first trial, all the participants in the [Treasure Land] raised their brows. ¡®Am I hearing things?¡¯ On the other hand, Leo felt he was hearing things because the rule goes against the behavior of the Abyssal Demon God. ¡®Was the author of the Book of the [God Ruins] wrong about the Abyssal Demon God?¡¯ After confirming that he was not hearing things, Leo felt the information in the Book of the [God Ruins] might be wrong. However, when he thought about all the information about the [God Ruins] he was using until now, Leo removed that thought from his head. ¡®Maybe he was nning something huge for the second trial.¡¯ This was the conclusion that Leo came to after thinking for a few moments as he looked at the surroundings participants who looked dejected with thest rule. They were hoping to kill as many participants as possible in the first trial to reduce thepetition; however, with the addition of ¡®No Participant Killing¡¯, everyone could only suppress their urge to kill others for now. ¡®There is still time to kill them in the future.¡¯ This was the line in their minds followed by, ¡®I need to collect as many treasure points as possible.¡¯ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he finished his words, the remnant spirit disappeared from the sky without a trace. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Just as the participants were wondering where the so-called Hungry Abyssal Beasts were, they started to disappear from their ces as they got teleported to a random ce in the [Treasure Land]. ¡­ ¡®Swoosh¡¯ Along with the other participants, Leo was also teleported and appeared on one of the tallest mountains. ¡®Roar¡¯ As soon as he appeared on the mountain top, Leo heard roars of the beasts as he was soon surrounded by a dozen Abyssal Beasts that he saw earlier through the portal. However,pared to the strength of those Hungry Abyssal Beasts, these beasts have the strength of only level 1 supreme rank. [Arcane Silver] His silver sword appeared from the storage ring as Leo casually shed through the air. ¡®sh¡¯ ¡®Puchi¡¯ The silver sword released a silver light ray which shed through more than 10 Abyssal Beasts into two pieces. ¡®Ding, The host killed 12 Illusionary Abyssal Beasts and gained 12 treasure points. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as he killed all the Abyssal Beasts around him, Leo received a system notification and the corpses on the ground turned into tiny light particles before entering his body. ¡®It looks like these beasts are not beasts. I think there is no need to waste my breath on them.¡¯ Once he learned about the Abyssal Beasts being illusionary beasts, Leo lost his interest in killing them because it was useless for them. Leo won¡¯t get any [Supreme Promote Points], [Experience] for his talents, and he could not even devour the corpses. Of course, Leo could get treasure points from killing the Abyssal Beasts; however, he had already nned something for getting free treasure points without killing any Abyssal Beasts. Therefore, Leo decided to not hunt the Abyssal Beasts like a madman just to get the treasure points. ¡®Since one needs at least one million treasure points to gain ess to the [Treasure Room], it will take quite some time for other participants to collect them. In the meanwhile, I think it is better for me to cultivate.¡¯ [Undead Summoner ¨C Raise my Undead Beings] Before starting his cultivation, Leo summoned two supreme-ranked undead beings and ordered them to guard him. Even though he had more than a dozen supreme-ranked undead beings, Leo didn¡¯t bother to summon them as he didn¡¯t feel any need to summon them. Also, he still has nine slots left to give the sentience to the undead beings; however, he didn¡¯t find any good undead beings to bless the sentience. ¡®I found a few good monsters and mutated beasts among the participants of the [Treasure Land]. I hope I can sessfully give sentience to one or two among those good monsters and mutated beasts.¡¯ After giving his orders, Leo didn¡¯t bother to waste his time as he found a nice spot to start his starlight cultivation. ¡®Starlight Dantian¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t start his cultivation directly; instead, he checked the Starlight Energy in his Starlight Dantian. ¡®Ding, Starlight Dantian: 1500 / 3000 units. Even though he was not cultivating actively during thest few days, Leo received nearly 1500 units of Starlight Energy passively. Of course, from time to time, he spent an hour or two actively cultivating to receive more units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Use 1000 units to upgrade my Starlight Severing Sword Strike.¡¯ Leo had already spent enough Starlight Energy to break through to the next rank in his cultivation; however, there was an additional requirement that required Leo to upgrade one of his basic cultivation techniques to upgrade into an Elite cultivation technique. Therefore, Leo focused on emptying his Starlight Dantian before starting his cultivation. ¡®Ding, The host used 1000 units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Ding, Starlight Severing Sword Strike has been upgraded to level 2. ¡®Time to cultivate.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t waste any time after upgrading his cultivation technique as he started his cultivation. ¡®Ding, Detected that the host is in a [Treasure Land]. ¡®Ding, The host¡¯s cultivation speed will be 20 times faster inside the current [Treasure Land]. ¡®What? 20 times boost in the cultivation speed?¡¯ Just as Leo started circting his cultivation technique, Leo received two system notifications that gave him pleasant surprises. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (988 / 1000). Chapter 322 Intercepting the Participants Again ¡®What? 20 times boost in the cultivation speed?¡¯ It was not a 2x or 3x boost in the cultivation speed; instead, it was a 20x boost in the cultivation speed. Of course, anyone would have been surprised by that and Leo was no expectation either. ¡®Ding, A [Treasure Land] is a special realm in which the energies can be easily attracted by the cultivator during the cultivation. ¡®In short, a [Treasure Land] is a special cultivation ground.¡¯ Leo learned something new about the [Treasure Land] as his interest in cultivating shot off the charts. [Special Starlight Refining Technique] Soon, Leo stopped thinking about other things and fully focused on cultivating. This time, he was not disturbed by anything as tiny sparkling light dots entered into Leo¡¯s body slowly but steadily. ¡­.. As Leo was cultivating peacefully, the other participants were working hard. Almost all the participants didn¡¯t have any issues in killing the level 1 Hungry Abyssal Beasts; however, they had to kill the Abyssal Beasts before others could kill them. In the beginning, it was alright; however, after clearing all the Abyssal Beasts in the location they teleported to, the participants moved to other locations that were filled with Abyssal Beasts. Eventually, they met with other participants and the participants who were faster would get the kill and the treasure points whereas the slower ones could only grit their anger. ¡®If only there was no such rule as killing other participants, it would have been easy to collect the treasure points.¡¯ The participants whocked attack speed clenched their fists and thought, ¡®I hope the second trial won¡¯t have such a rule. I will make sure these b*stards regret killing my prey.¡¯ Of course, there were some fights here and there; however, the participants on both sides were careful as they knew when to stop before going back to farming the treasure points. ¡®What is he doing? Sleeping?¡¯ ¡®It looks like he had already given up on the first trial.¡¯ ¡®What can you expect from a young man in his early twenties!¡¯ ¡®He must have encountered some fortuitous encounter to be able to be the supreme hero at such a young age; however, without battle experience, the strength is useless.¡¯ From time to time, the participants passing by the mountain would look at Leo and two undead beings standing guard in front of him and shake their heads. However, there were a few participants who thought to cut open his secrets from Leo in the next trial. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by, ¡®Ding, + 2000 units of Starlight Energy are collected in the host¡¯s Starlight Dantian. ¡®Ding, Starlight Dantian: 2500 / 3000 units. Leo didn¡¯t wait for his Starlight Dantian to be filled because he had enough starlight energy to upgrade his cultivation technique. ¡®Ding, The host used 2000 units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Ding, Starlight Severing Sword Strike has been upgraded to level 3. ¡®Phew¡­just one more level and I can finally upgrade my basic sword technique to elite sword technique. Once Iplete that, I can increase my cultivation.¡¯ Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he went back to his cultivation to fill his starlight dantian again. ¡®But the thing is I want to use my new system ability [Cultivation Swallowing Abilty].¡¯ Leo was curious about it and wanted to see how beneficial it would be for him to swallow the cultivation of his opponent. ¡®However, there are no cultivators in this world other than Arlo¡¯s tribesmen. So, I could only wait and increase my cultivation through Starlight Energy.¡¯ This was what Leo thought from time to time regarding one of the system abilities he bought using the Fragments of the God Stones. Even though he unlocked it, he still didn¡¯t know how that system ability actually worked. ¡­ Time continued to pass and six hours passed by in a sh. The leader of the monsters and the leader of the beasts received a notification from the remnant spirit that made them stop hunting the Abyssal Beasts. ¡®Roar¡¯ ¡®Finally, it is time to enter the [Treasure Room].¡¯ Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf became excited as they roared in excitement at their followers. Of course, the reason why only these two were the fastest in umting one million treasure points was that their subordinates transferred their treasure points to them. Both leaders have around 500 followers and even with such a huge number of followers, it took them more than seven hours to umte one million treasure points. The reason was simple, the [Treasure Land] waspletely filled with level 1 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beast and by killing them, a participant would only get one treasure point. Also, there were only a few level 2 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beasts and no level 3 or 4 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beasts appeared, not to mention a level 5 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beast that gives a crazy number of treasure points. Therefore, it took such a long time for them. On the other hand, the human factions were also not bad as they umted nearly half a million treasure points each despite having around 10-15 members in their faction. ¡°Everyone, you need to continue farming for more treasure points.¡± Even though the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf were in different locations of the [Treasure Land], they said more or less the same things to their subordinates and it was none other than farm for more treasure points. ¡°Yes, leader.¡± All beasts and monsters nodded their heads in excitement and didn¡¯t waste any time before focusing on killing the Abyssal Beasts. ¡°Leader, we need to hurry up.¡± The humans felt they needed to hurry and increased their speed in killing the Abyssal Beasts. ¡­. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ After gaining the ess to the [Treasure Room], the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf silently thought about entering the [Treasure Room], only to appear on a mountain top where a young human was sitting cross-legged under a tree. ¡°Finally, you have gained enough treasure points to enter the [Treasure Room]. I am waiting for you all this time.¡± The young man revealed an evil smile on his face when he saw them. **** Next Bonus Chapter¡¯s target: 1) Inspiration Capsule, (or) 2) 1000 Golden Tickets (995 / 1000). Chapter 323 Offering a Deal ¡®Ding, The host spent 5000 units of Starlight Energy. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing 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 be 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. ording 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 particr 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 particr 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 be 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 umte 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 youe out and exin to them about it?¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to waste his time exining things to them as he summoned the Abyssal Demon God¡¯s remnant spirit to exin the things. 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 hemented 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 andposed 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 umte 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 simr 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 des rained on Leo. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®ng¡¯ ¡®ng¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t bother to dodge the iing shining moon des 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 iing moon des. ¡®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 be my living follower or an undead follower?¡± Chapter 324 [Bonus Chapter] Leo versus Silvermoon Wolf ¡°Do you want to be my living follower or an undead follower?¡± Leo offered that deal because he found the Silvermoon Wolf was a little power and had the potential to be a Legend-grade beast with some support. ¡®Ding, Beast Name: Silvermoon Wolf (Mutated Twice). Strength: Level 3 supreme rank. Skills: Moon des, Ignore Pain, Silver fang, Moon Clones,¡­ Blooldine: Silvermoon Wolf King (95 / 100). [Unawakened]. Note: The bloodline will be awakened when the percentage reaches 100. There were two things that attracted Leo to the information he got about the Silvermoon wolf. One, it was mutated twice which means it would be more powerful than regr level 3 supreme-ranked beasts. Two, the wolf would easily awaken its bloodline in no time. ¡°You want me to acknowledge you as my master?¡± The Silvermoon Wolf mutated twice and along with its power, it became more intelligent and proud to acknowledge someone as its master. What¡¯s more, a mere human who looked to be around 20 years old was asking it to be his pet. Therefore, the Silvermoon Wolf became furious and decided to show the human what it was made up of. [Moon Clones] In the next second, a few silhouettes jumped out of the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s body and surrounded Leo. They looked exactly like the Silvermoon Wolf and have the same strength. ¡°If you want me to acknowledge you as my master, then you have to be more powerful.¡± As soon as it finished its words, the ten Silvermoon Wolves jumped at Leo. ¡°If that¡¯s what you want, then be ready to bow your head to me.¡± Leo was waiting for the Silvermoon Wolf to say those words because, unlike the human world, the beast and monster world was different. As long as you show your strength, it won¡¯t be an issue to get acknowledged by the beasts and monsters. Of course, it would not work all the time as there were some beasts and monsters that looked down on humans or were proud to be someone¡¯s pet. In such cases, the humans have to find other ways to tame them or just killing them would be a good choice. Nevertheless, Leo had multiple ns for various scenarios in his head regarding the Silvermoon Wolf. So, he was not worried much about it and directly entered into action. [Supreme Killer- Equip], +10 percent increase in the attack power. [Nether Domain], Decreases the enemies¡¯ battle prowess by 21 percent. [Mighty Combustion ¨C Firestorm], despite being a non-supreme talent, could deal damage to the low-level supreme-ranked beings. Leo didn¡¯t even bother to dodge the iing Silvermoon Wolfs as he equipped himself with a title before using two special talents. Soon, the 100 meters radius around Leo turned a little dark followed by a huge firestorm that sucked all the iing Silvermoon Wolves into it. ¡®Ding, The host used the special talent [Mighty Combustions]¡¯s ultimate effect. As a result, the talent will be under cooldown for a full hour. ¡®Even though it fell under cooldown, I have made critical damage to the Silvermoon Wolf.¡¯ After experiencing the firestorm, all the moon clones of the Silvermoon Wolf disappeared and the main body fell to the ground with a body full of injuries. ¡°What do you say now? Do you want to go another round or do you want to acknowledge me as your master now?¡± Leo asked the Silvermoon Wolf with a slight smile. ¡®What? How is he still fine after using such a powerful attack?¡¯ Silvermoon Wolf looked at Leo¡¯s slight smile and felt he was the real beast under the human skin. ¡°I am willing to die; however, I don¡¯t have any ns to acknowledge someone as my master in this life.¡± However, the Silvermoon Wolf shook its head and rejected Leo¡¯s offer to be a living follower. Of course, the Silvermoon Wolf was not foolish to use big words like ¡®In this life¡¯ because it knew Leo could not kill it. ¡®If he kills me, then he will soon follow me as killing is not allowed during the first trial.¡¯ With the intelligence it gained from his double mutation, the Silvermoon Wolf had a n, ¡®All I have to do is endure his attacks and when ites to enduring the pain, I have my passive skill [Ignore Pain].¡¯ ¡°Is that so?¡± Hearing the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s words, Leo was not surprised as he had already yed a simr scenario in his head and prepared a n for it. ¡°Yes. If you want, then you can kill me and turn me into one of your undead summonses.¡± The Silvermoon Wolf forcefully stood up and replied to Leo with a serious look on its face. ¡°Okay then. Since you want to die, I will grant it to you.¡± With an evil smile, Leo walked towards the Silvermoon Wolf and used his talent, [Earth Maniption ¨C Earthen Hands]. Four hands made up of sand and rocks came out of the earth and caught the four legs of the Silvermoon Wolf. ¡°W-what are you doing?¡± Suddenly, the Silvermoon Wolf had a bad premonition in its heart as it struggled to get free from the earthen hands. ¡®I think it¡¯s time to upgrade the [Earth Maniption].¡¯ Seeing that the earthen hands were not strong enough to hold the injured Silvermoon Wolf, Leo decided to upgrade his special talent. Actually, if Leo wanted to, he could upgrade a few talents to supreme grade; however, there were limited Advanced Talent Upgrade Stones. Each normal rank 9 talent needed three advanced talent upgrade stones whereas the special rank 9 talents needed five of them. However, Leo only has 10 of them on him. Also, because of his [Mighty Supreme] mission, Leo decided to focus on upgrading 10 special talents to supreme rank rather than normal talent to get a high reward. Therefore, he decided to upgrade the special talents depending on the situation and in the current situation, he needed [Earth Maniption] to smoothly deal with the Silvermoon Wolf. ¡®System, upgrade the [Earth Maniption] to supreme-rank.¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo asked the system to upgrade his special talent. ******** Finally reached 1000 Golden Tickets in a single month. Thank you, everyone, for your support. Chapter 325 [Ignore Pain] evolves into [Enhance Pain] ¡®Ding, Upgrade requirements for the [Earth Maniption]: 1) Using the talent 200 times (Completed). 2) Five Advanced Talent Upgrade Stones. (10/5). 3) 100 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, Consuming five Advanced Talent Upgrade Stones and 100 [Supreme Promote Points]. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading the [Earth Maniption] to supreme grade. As soon as Leo gave permission to the system, he received a series of system notifications. ¡°Do you think you can stop me from leaving with such a weak talent?¡± Even though it was injured, the Silvermoon Wolf was still a level 3 supreme-ranked beast and after freeing itself from the earthen hands, it decided to escape from the human. ¡®Even though he is mysterious and powerful, once I awaken my bloodline, I can take him down easily.¡¯ This was the thought in the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s head as it decided to escape without any hesitation. [Earth Maniption ¨C Giant Earthen Hands]. However, how could Leo let the Silvermoon Wolf go when he had already set his eyes on it. ¡®Since I can¡¯t kill it now, I can only make it a living follower.¡¯ If not for the rule in the first trial, Leo would have not bothered to waste his time on the Silvermoon Wolf. Therefore, Leo decided to make it his living follower so that it could transfer the treasure points to him. Soon, six huge earth hands came out of the ground. Among six, four hands held the legs of the Silvermoon Wolf and the remaining two hands rubbed against each other before punching the wolf. ¡°I will stop as long as you are going to acknowledge me as your master.¡± Leo replied to the Silvermoon Wolf with a slight smile as he silently looked at the Infernal Dragonborn. Despite witnessing Leo¡¯s strength, the Dragonborn still remained in his ce and because of his hideous-looking helmet, Leo could not guess what he was thinking. ¡®Looks like he is not scared at all. Not bad.¡¯ Leo only looked at Dragonborn for a moment before focusing on the Silvermoon Wolf. ¡°Haha¡­human, do you really think that just because of these punches I will acknowledge you as my master? Dream on.¡± Even though the two giant hands were punching the Silvermoon Wolf, it showed a resolve that it was not going to acknowledge Leo as its master. ¡°Of course not.¡± With an evil smile, Leo walked closer to the Silvermoon Wolf and said, ¡°After using the big words like ¡®Even in my death, I will not be your pet¡¯, I have high hopes for you. So, don¡¯t acknowledge me as your master yet.¡± ¡®¡­¡¯ The Silvermoon Wolf felt something was wrong when it heard Leo¡¯s words. ¡°Let me use all my tricks on you so that someone knows what he should do.¡± These words were directed to the Infernal Dragonborn who was standing some distance away from them. ¡®What is he talking about? No matter how much damage I receive, I won¡¯t feel any pain. If he wants to get my Treasure Points, he has to kill me; however, he will soon follow me to hell¡­hehe.¡¯ The Silvermoon Wolf could tell that Leo was not nning to kill it and since it could not feel any pain because of its passive skill [Ignore Pain], all it had to do was endure the pain from the punches. ¡®What is he nning to do?¡¯ On the other hand, the Dragonborn and the remnant spirit frowned as they still didn¡¯t understand what Leo was nning to do. ¡®I think it is enough.¡¯ After continuously punching the Silvermoon Wolf for five minutes, its state became so pitiful. Most of its bones were broken and it barely had the strength to open its eyes. ¡°Y..ou¡­.ha..ve¡­to¡­k..kill¡­me¡­to¡­get¡­.the¡­treasure¡­points.¡± Nevertheless, it mustered its strength and replied to Leo in a weak voice. ¡°Sorry to tell you this but I don¡¯t have any ns to kill you.¡± However, Leo shook his head as he ced his hand on the severely injured Silvermoon Wolf. ¡°Are¡­you¡­thinking¡­of¡­healing¡­me¡­before¡­.punching¡­me¡­again?¡± Silvermoon Wolf closed its eyes as it spoke with a lot of struggle. ¡°You think quite highly of yourself. Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have any ns to heal or punch you again.¡± Leo didn¡¯t bother to say any more words as he used, [Haunting of the Ecstasy]. Leo already knew that the Silvermoon Wolf could not feel any pain because of its skill; however, he had to punch it to weaken it to the point where even a rank 9 talent could affect it. ¡®Woo¡¯ As soon as Leo activated his talent, the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s consciousness which was very weak after receiving a lot of punches was easily pulled into a nightmare. Just like any nightmare, it started with a happy and pleasant dream where everything went as the Silvermoon Wolf thought. At age 1, it underwent its first mutation and became an elite beast. At age 2, it underwent its second mutation and became an Advanced beast and became the alpha of the pack. At age 5, the Silvermoon Wolf evolved into a Silvermoon Wolf King and became a supreme-ranked beast, conquering a small part of the Supreme Dark Forest. At age 10, the Silvermoon Wolf King conquered the whole Supreme Dark Forest and its greed for power didn¡¯t stop there as it set its eyes on the entire human world. As it started its world-conquering n, it encountered a young human and that¡¯s the beginning of the nightmare. All the monsters and the beasts including its own family under its control betrayed the Silvermoon wolf and swore their loyalty to that human. The human asked the Silvermoon Wolf to swear its allegiance to him if it wanted to live; however, the proud nature of the Silvermoon Wolf didn¡¯t allow it to be someone¡¯s pet. ¡®The nightmare will stop when you acknowledge me as your master.¡¯ This was the world that the human said before disappearing. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ ¡®Beat him.¡¯ ¡®How dare he not swear allegiance to my master.¡¯ Before the Silvermoon Wolf could understand the meaning behind Leo¡¯s words, it saw all the monsters and beasts start attacking him. ¡®What¡¯s happening? Where is my strength? I am a level 9 supreme-ranked beast hero. How could I be injured by a rank 9 beast?¡¯ ¡®Why can¡¯t I move from my ce? What kind of sorcery is it?¡¯ The Silvermoon Wolf didn¡¯t understand where its strength disappeared and why can¡¯t it move from its ce. Moreover, its precious passive skill [Ignore Pain] turned into [Enchance Pain]. ¡®Woo¡­argh¡¯ For the first time in its entire life, the Silvermoon Wolf howled in pain because until now, it didn¡¯t experience any pain. ¡®Is this called¡­pain? Damn it¡­. it¡¯s unbearable¡­.woo¡¯ The Silvermoon Wolf howled in pain; however, the beasts and monsters didn¡¯t stop attacking it. ¡®Why am I not dying yet? Wifey¡­.stop healing me and let me die in pain.¡¯ Soon, the Silvermoon Wolf realized the reason why it was not dying despite receiving so many injuries was that its wife that evolved into Viridian Wolf was continuously healing it. ¡®Do you want to leave me and our children alone? Why don¡¯t you acknowledge that human as you master?¡¯ ¡®¡­¡¯ Hearing its wife¡¯s words, the Silvermoon Wolf remained silent and looked at its 101 children that were standing behind its wife. Chapter 326 Silvermoon Battle Wolf ¡°I am acknowledging you as my master. Please stop it.¡± The Silvermoon Wolf could not endure the physical pain and the mental pain as it decided to be the human¡¯s tamed beast. ¡®Swoosh¡¯ As soon as the Silvermoon Wolf said those words, the monsters and beasts stopped attacking it and the young human appeared in front of him. ¡°Are you sure about it?¡± The young human was none other than Leo as he asked the Silvermoon Wolf in his nightmare. ¡°Who do you think I am? Once I acknowledge someone as my master, I will not hesitate to die for him.¡± The Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s wife healed all its injuries as it proudly replied to Leo. Soon after it acknowledged Leo as its master, they started conquering not just a single world but multiple worlds. Its master provided it with enough resources to evolve and mutate a few more times and eventually, it became a Silvermoon Wolf God that ruled over hundred bestial worlds while its master ruled the entire universe. ¡°What do you think? Isn¡¯t it worth acknowledging me as your master?¡± After a few centuries, the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯d master asked whether it was worth following him. ¡°I still remember the day I acknowledged you as my master. I thought it was a mistake; however, I have decided to follow you even in the reincarnation, master.¡± The Silvermoon Wolf was very emotional as it replied to ¡°Good. You can open your eyes now.¡± With a slight smile on his face, Leo disappeared from the nightmare along with the other monsters and the beasts. ¡­. ¡®Why am I injured to this extent? Who has the guts to beat me?¡¯ ¡®Where is my wifey? And my 101 children?¡¯ ¡®Wait¡­when did I ever get married to have a wifey?¡¯ ¡®Where are worlds that were under my control?¡¯ In short, the Silvermoon Wolf was confused as it didn¡¯t understand what was happening in its head until its eyes fell on Leo. ¡°Master?¡± The Silvermoon Wolf instantly recognized Leo; however, at the same time, he didn¡¯t feel the connection that it felt in the dream. Of course, it didn¡¯t feel like that because it was just a dream thatsted for not more than five minutes. ¡°Whatever you have experienced earlier was just a dream; however, as long as you are willing to follow me, I can make your dreamse true.¡± Seeing the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s expression, Leo knew what was going on with it. Hence, he exined in a few lines. ¡°¡­¡± The Silvermoon Wolf remained silent as though it was thinking about something. ¡°Master.¡± However, after a few seconds, the Silvermoon Wolf struggled to stand up; however, the injuries made it impossible for it to stand up. Nevertheless, it called Leo ¡®Master¡¯ to let him know that it acknowledges him as its master. ¡®Ding, The Silvermoon Wolf liked the dream that the host projected inside its head using [Haunting of the Ecstasy]. ¡®Ding, It acknowledged you as its master because of your ideals of conquering the entire universe to stand on the top. Hence, it decided to follow you. Note: The moment the Silvermoon Wolf feels that your ideals are changed, it would not hesitate to leave you. ¡®Cool. It acknowledged me as its master in the first attempt itself.¡¯ Leo was a little surprised when he heard the Silvermoon Wolf acknowledge him as its master because he was not expecting that. ording to his n, Leo was nning to use [Haunting of the Ecstasy] to show various dreams and nightmares before making it submissive. ¡®Anyway, it saved me some time.¡¯ Leo ced his hand on the Silvermoon Wolf again; however, this time, he didn¡¯t use [Hauntaing of the Ecstasy]; instead, he [Elemental Healing] to heal its injuries. ¡®Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully taming a proud beast like Silvermoon Wolf. You will be rewarded with the next evolution path for the Silvermoon Wolf. ¡®Ding, Please select one of the evolution paths for the Silvermoon Wolf. 1) Silvermoon Battle Wolf: a wolf that bes stronger with each battle and as long as there is a powerful foe, there is no limit on how powerful it would be. Since the Silvermoon Battle Wolves always like to battle, they have good regenerative abilities. 2) Winged Silvermoon Wolf: Simr to the Silvermoon Wolf; however, it had wings that gave an advantage in the sky battles. It can awaken additional skills rted to wings. 3) Viridian Moon Wolf: The weakest wolf that didn¡¯t have any exceptional battle prowess; however, when ites to healing, its skills are exceptional. Note: The host can only see requirements for the selected wolf¡¯s evolutionary path. Choose wisely as it might be a little difficult to fulfil some of the requirements. As Leo was healing the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s injuries, he received two system notifications, making him raise his brows. ¡®Interesting. The reward will help me be closer to the Silvermoon Wolf.¡¯ If Leo could help the Silvermoon Wolf evolve into a stronger beast, its loyalty and trust towards him would increase without a doubt. Therefore, Leo thought it was a good reward and read the information on each evolutionary path for the Silvermoon Wolf. ¡°Silvermoon Wolf, do you want to be a Battle Wolf or a Healing Wolf?¡± Nevertheless, Leo didn¡¯t make a choice for himself as he didn¡¯t want to force his choices on the Silvermoon Wolf. Hence, he asked whether it wanted to be a Battle Wolf or a Healing Wolf. ¡°Battle Wolf.¡± The Silvermoon Wolf didn¡¯t know why its master was asking such a question; however, it didn¡¯t have to think much to give an answer to that question. ¡®Hm¡¯ Nodding his head, Leo chose the first evolutionary path for the Silvermoon Wolf [Silvermoon Battle Wolf]. ¡®Ding, Evolutionary requirements for a Silvermoon Wolf into Silvermoon Battle Wolf. 1) 10 victorious fights with simr or higher ranked beings than Silvermoon Wolf. 2) 10 beast cores from the wolves that mutated at least once. 3) A single de of Ancient Wolf Grass. ¡®The first two can be easilypleted; however, I have no idea about the Ancient Wolf Grass.¡¯ Leo didn¡¯t think much about evolving the Silvermoon Wolf right now; instead, he turned his head toward the infernal Dragonborn and asked, ¡°What about you? Are you going to fight me or do you have any other ns?¡± Chapter 327 [Bonus chapter]Results of the First Day of the First Trial ¡°Do you want to¡­.¡± ¡°I can give you the treasure points.¡± Before Leo could say anything, the Infernal Dragonborn replied to Leo that he would give his treasure points. ¡°But I am no longer interested in the treasure points; instead, I am interested in you.¡± With an evil smile, Leo asked, ¡°So, are you going to acknowledge me as your master or¡­¡± ¡°Master.¡± Like before, the Infernal Dragonborn didn¡¯t wait for Leo to finish his words as he swore his allegiance to Leo without any hesitation. After witnessing how the Silvermoon Wolf was beaten to sh*t until it could no longer stand, the Infernal Dragonborn didn¡¯t have any hopes in defeating Leo. At first, he thought of escaping from the mountain; however, from time to time, Leo would nce at him with an evil smile as though he was waiting for the Infernal Dragonborn to escape. Therefore, he didn¡¯t try to escape and thought, ¡®For now, I will just follow his words and leave him after leaving this [Treasure Land].¡¯ As someone who likes to make others his followers, the Infernal Dragonborn himself knew that it was not a bad choice to follow someone powerful. At the same time, he was waiting for an opportunity to escape by giving out a random reason after they left the [Treasure Land]. ¡®Ding, The Infernal Dragonborn has temporarily acknowledged the host as his master. Soon, Leo received a system notification which didn¡¯t surprise him at all as he already knew the Infernal Dragonborns were not only intelligent but cunning. ¡®However, does he really think that he could leave once bing my follower?¡¯ It was not that Leo was nning to kill the followers that wanted to leave him; instead, Leo was confident in his abilities to make the Infernal Dragonborn his loyal follower. ¡®Compared to the Silvermoon Wolf, this Infernal Dragonborn has a lot of potential and could be a lot stronger. So, he will be quite useful for the uing world assessment and my future adventures.¡¯ Leo knew that just passing the grade 1 world assessment would let humans enjoy peace. ¡®It is just the beginning and future world assessments would be even more difficult to deal with. The only way to survive in this god-forsaken world is by continuously improving.¡¯ Leo clenched his fists as he already nned to be as powerful as he could and fight as long as he could to create a peaceful world. At least that¡¯s what he was thinking; however, whether he could remember that or would he lose himself in the process¡­only time will tell. ¡­.. ¡®Transfer¡¯ Without wasting any time, Leo received the treasure points from his two new followers. ¡°Infernal Dragonborn, go and collect as many treasure points as possible.¡± Even though the Silvermoon Wolf¡¯s injuries were healed, it was still tired and Leo didn¡¯t want to give any tasks to it for now. Instead, it ordered the Infernal Dragonborn to focus on farming the treasure points. ¡°Yes, master.¡± Even though it was notpletely loyal to Leo, the Infernal Dagonborn knew that entering the [Treasure Room] waspletely impossible as long as Leo was alive. ¡®Since I swore him loyalty, I hope he won¡¯t be stingy in giving me a thing or two from the [Treasure Room].¡¯ The Infernal Dragonborn didn¡¯t want to use the monsters from the temporary faction he created to attack Leo, because he could tell that Leo was an absolute monster. He defeated the Silvermoon Wolf that had the same strength as him without moving from his ce. Moreover, he even has some powerful undead summons. There was no way anyone could defeat Leo in his opinion. ¡­. ¡®Ding, Treasure points: 2100012. ¡®Let¡¯s get back to the cultivation.¡¯ Even though Leo had enough treasure points to clear the entire [Silver Section], he was not in a hurry to enter it. ¡®Where will those items go anyway? No participant can enter the [Treasure Room] without defeating me.¡¯ This was Leo¡¯s confidence as he resumed his cultivation. ¡®He is definitely not a bad choice for my apostle in this world.¡¯ As for the remnant spirit, he was surprised by Leo¡¯s actions and how he tamed the monster leader and the beast leader without putting much effort into it. ¡®For now, I can only give him some items that could make him powerful. Once the world assessmentpletes, I will make him into my apostle.¡¯ Soon, the Abyssal Demon God¡¯s remnant spirit started its own n before focusing on other participants. One hourter, ¡®Ding, +2000 units of Starlight Energy umted in the host¡¯s dantian. One hourter, ¡®Ding, . . . . Time continued to pass and it¡¯s been one day since Leo entered the [Treasure Land], Since the [Treasure Land] was the best ce to increase his cultivation in the shortest time possible, Leo decided to fully spend his time in the [Treasure Land] on cultivating. As time passed, the number of Abyssal Beasts decreased, making it harder for others to reach one million treasure points. Soon, Leo and all the participants in the [Treasure Land] stopped what they were doing when they heard the sudden voice of the remnant spirit from the sky. <1) Leo (2.1 million treasure points)> <2) Infernal Dragonborn (1.5 million treasure points)> <3) Silvermoon Wolf (1.2 million reassure points)> Soon, three names appeared in front of all the participants which shocked everyone. <1) Leo (3.1 million treasure points)> <2) Infernal Dragonborn (2 million treasure points)> <3) Silvermoon Wolf (1.4 million reassure points)> The numbers beside the participants¡¯ names were updated after the remnant spirit blessed them with additional treasure points. Chapter ?328: Bonus Trial Chapter ?328: Bonus Trial ''How did a human get that many treasure points?'' ''Who is that human?'' ''I think he must have killed a level 4 and 5 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beasts. That''s the only possible reason why he has so many treasure points.'' ''Why have I never heard of such a powerful human?'' When they saw the results announced by the remnant spirit, they were shocked to see a human with 2.1 million treasure points. Even though the human factions had around 10-15 participants in each faction,bining all their treasure points was still a little short of one million. Therefore, they were shocked at Leo having 2.1 million treasure points. ''If only I can kill him and have all his treasure points, then it would have been nice.'' This was the thought in the minds of all the participants in the [Treasure Land]; however, in the first trial, they were not allowed to kill other participants. The numbers beside the participants'' names were updated after the remnant spirit blessed them with additional treasure points. As soon as the remnant spirit finished his words, all the participants shone with golden light for a moment and after the golden light disappeared, some numbers appeared above their heads. ''What are those numbers above your head?'' ''Wait a second...you also have some numbers.'' ''I think they are the treasure points you have. You must have 100000 treasure points.'' ''That''s right!'' Soon, the participants learned that the treasure points were no longer hidden as they could tell the number of treasure points that the other participants had with a single look. ''Finally...we can destroy those b*stards from the other secret organisations.'' ''Let''s focus on the top three participants. As long as we kill them, we can buy a lot of things.'' ''However, do you think they won''t redeem them already?'' ''So what? We can kill them and take whatever the treasures they redeemed from the [Treasure Room].'' ''Everyone, the b*stard Infernal Dragonborn became a human''s pet and gave them all our treasure points. Let''s kill him and the human.'' With no rule stopping them from killing other participants, everyone finally decided to execute their ns. The participants from the secret organizations decided to kill the participants from the secret organization to take their points fulfilling two tasks at once. Where the monsters and the mutated beasts, started forming small groups to kill the other monsters and the beasts along with their leaders who became a human''s pets. ..... On the other hand, Leo was a little bit surprised by the changes in the first trial; however, he was not bothered too much about it. ''If someonees to kill me, it will be even better as I could umte the treasure points at a much faster rate.'' With that thought in mind, Leo looked at the Silvermoon Wolf whose injuries were healed long ago and the Infernal Dragonborn. "If I find any useful items for you guys, I will give them to you." "Thank you, master." They thanked Leo as there was nothing they could do other than thank him in their current situation. "I think you will soon be surrounded by your fellow monsters, beasts and even humans. So, stay together and stay alive until I return from the [Treasure Room]." Even though he had already taken all the treasure points from them, they would still be attacked because the other participants would believe they have already redeemed the items from the [Treasure Room]. "Don''t worry about us, master. Those whoe here should be ready to die." Compared to the Infernal Dragonborn, the Silvermoon Wolf was more loyal to Leo and at the same time, it was confident in its battle prowess. So, it asked Leo not to worry about them as they could take care of themselves. Leo nodded his head and checked his treasure point. ''Time to enter the [Treasure Room].'' With his current treasure points, Leo believes that he could clear the items from both [Silver Section] and [Gold Section] in the [Treasure Room]. Therefore, Leo no longer wasted any time as he entered the [Treasure Room]. .... Inside the [Treasure Room], ''Buy all three items from the [Silver Section].'' Since he had already bought all the items from the [Bronze section], Leo swept the [Silver Section] clean. ''Ding, A random grade 1 world ticket is added to the host''s storage ring. ''Ding, A specific grade 1 world ticket is added to the host''s storage ring. ''Ding, A God Stone is added to the host''s storage ring. As the mirror spewed out the items, the system stored them in Leo''s storage ring. ''Time to check the items in the [Gold Section]....huh?'' With the treasure points Leo had, he had already gained ess to the [Gold Section]; however, just when he was about to open it, he saw chains appear on the words [Gold Section]. "What is it?" Leo frowned. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, the remnant spirit appeared in the [Treasure Room] with an eerie smile on his face. ''As I expected, the Abyssal Demon God is not the type to let things go smoothly.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he asked the remnant spirit, "What should I do to unlock it?" With an evil chuckle, the remnant spirit replied, The remnant spirit didn''t give any time for Leo to prepare as he directly teleported to a pitch-ck abyss. The remnant spirit''s voice resounded in the abyss, followed by the hungry growls of the beasts hiding in the dark. Chapter 329 Abyssal Demon Gods Plan [Super Vision] Since it waspletely dark around him, Leo activated his talent and soon, he saw hundreds of Hungry Abyssal Beasts growling at him while drooling as though he was some kind of delicious food. ''Bring it on. I will test all my talents and skills.'' Even though there were hundreds of Hungry Abyssal Beasts each with a level 1 and 2 supreme rank strength, Leo was not worried at all. Since Leo has a lot of talents and skills that were at level 9, he wanted to use them in killing the Hungry Abyssal Beasts around him. If a level 9 talent or a skill could kill the level 1 supreme ranked beasts, then it was worth nurturing in Leo''s opinion. Therefore, he felt it was finally time for him to select a few more useful talents and skills that he could keep for himself while blessing away the remaining ones. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated. ''Ding, Mission Name: There is no useless talent, only useless heroes. Objective: Use only normal talents to pass the Bonus Trial. Note: Since the host doesn''t have any supreme-ranked normal talents and his opponents are all supreme-ranked beasts, he can choose special talent to use along with the normal talents. Reward: Hidden. Soon, the system generated a mission rting to what he was nning to do, which didn''t surprise Leo at all. ording to the system, the generated missions were all rted to the events happening around him and whatever the thoughts inside his head. Hence, he didn''t waste any time as he started his mission. [Inhuman Strength - Full Enchance]. He started with a normal talent he received from the City Leader Thedore and upon activating, Leo''s body grew a little as his muscles bulged. ''Ding, The host''s physical attack power has temperorily increased by 10 times for 10 minutes. Note: The host can''t feel any pain during the ten minutes. ''As expected, this talent is good.'' Looking at the system notification, Leo clenched his fists in excitement because he felt he could smash through anything in his current state. ''Roar'' ''Punch'' Leo didn''t wait for the Hungry Abyssal Beasts toe at him; instead, he ran towards the closest abyssal beast that was roaring. ''It felt nice to punch the beast; however, I am stillcking something.'' No matter how powerful Leo felt in his current strength, it was not enough for a level 9 talent to kill a level 1 or 2 supreme-ranked Abyssal Beasts. ''There is no harm in one special talent.'' Without thinking much, Leo activated a special talent, [Nether Domain]. ''Swoosh'' The abyss was already pitch-ck. So, their changes in the environment were not noticed as Leo revealed an evil smile on his face. ''Roar'' As though the abyssal beasts sensed something was wrong, they roared at Leo before arge group of them rushed towards Leo. "Die" "Swoosh" "Puchi" "Smash" Leo also roared at them as he started punching the iing abyssal beasts into pulp. A few of them were killed in a single punch whereas the level 2 supreme-ranked abyssal beasts received three or four punches before dying. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh ten minute passed by since the bonus trial started. ''Ding, The talent [Inhuman Strength] will fall into a cooldown of one hour in a few seconds. Soon, Leo received the system notification and by now, he had already killed more than 100 abyssal beasts. ''Time to use other talents and skills.'' Leo didn''t stop fighting as he cancelled the talent [Inhuman Strength] and started using the skills and talents he nned to use next. [Terra Rock Storm] In the next second, a huge storm filled with the rocks and sand rose from the ground and sucked all the abyssal beasts in its path. Since the abyss was narrow, the rock storm more or less sucked all the abyssal beasts into it. [Dual Elemental Bomb] Two huge orbs with water and eath appeared in front of Leo which he threw them into the Terra Rock Storm. He didn''t stop there as more and more abyssal beasts rushed towards him from behind. [Roaring Battle Bull] [zing Meteor] [Sunfire Bolts and Bullets] ''Boom'' ''Boom'' There was an explosion for each second and even if an abyssal beast didn''t die from a single explosion, it would die from a series of explosions without a doubt. There were so many attack-type skills and talents that Leo could use. So, he used all of them depending on the situation while keeping note of someone''s talents and skills that he could focus on upgrading in the future. ... ''What the¡­how many talents did this brat awaken?'' On the other hand, the remant spirit, who was watching everything that was happening in the abyss was shocked to the core. ''Did he be an apostle of multiple gods already? No¡­it''s impossible. This is still a non-ranked human world. There is no way, the ''Ancient Being'' would let the gods connect with it so soon.'' The remnant spirit was anxious for a moment; however, when he thought about how the ''Ancient Being'' hates humans, he felt a little relieved. ''He must have at least a dozen skills and a dozen talents. If only my main body was here, it would have been easy what this human is hiding.'' The remnant spirit saw Leo use his talents and the skills and he made a rough guess of Leo''s talents and skill. ''Who cares what he is hiding. As long as he bes my apostle, I can nurture him and make him into one of my powerful apostles.'' Soon, the remnant spirit revealed an evil smile and continued thinking, ''With his wide range of talents and my careful nurturing, I will make sure the other gods don''t have any new apostles in this generation¡­keke.'' ¡­. Inside the Abyss, Soon, Leo heard the remnant spirit''s voice about the aplishment of his trial. ''Go and take the reward. Once you ept it, you are mine¡­keke.'' The Abyssal Demon God could not help but chuckle to himself as he waited for Leo to take his reward. Chapter 330 [Bonus Chapter] Abyssal Demon Sword ''ess to the [tinum Section] and additional rewards from the [Bonus Trial].'' From the two additional rewards, Leo felt the Abyssal Demon God was more generous and somewhere in his heart, he felt a bad premonition. However, he didn''t know exactly what it was. ''Whatever, let''s check the rewards and what items were stored in the [Gold Section] and [tinum Section] of the [Treasure Land].'' Since there was a God Stone in the [Silver Setion], Leo''s expectations on the next sections were high. Hence, he didn''t think much and waited for the remnant spirit to teleport him to the [Treasure Room]. ''Swoosh'' In no time, Leo teleported back to the [Treasure Room] and soon, he received the system notification regarding his earlier mission. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission. Please wait while the rewards are prepared. ''I hope you don''t disappoint me with rewards like always.'' Leo was not disappointed with the system rewards and hoped he would not disappoint this time too. ''Now, where is the reward from the [Bonus Trial]?'' Before checking the items in the next two sections, Leo looked for the reward from the [Bonus Trial]. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he thought about the reward, a bright light shed in the [Treasure Room] as three powerful but demonic weapons appeared above the mirror. Along with those weapons, the Abyssal Demon God''s remnant spirit appeared in the [Treasure Room]. "Three rewards?" Leo was a little bit surprised at how generous the Abyssal Demon God was. ''The reason why I added the [Bonus Trial] in the first ce was to test you in bing my apostle. Since you have more potential than I thought, you definitely need three rewards.'' The remnant spirit silently thought in his head as he asked Leo. "Only one?" Leo thought the Abyssal Demon God was rewarding him with those three weapons; however, he was once again surprised at his words. The remnant spirit took a liking to Leo and he was confident that he would be bing his apostle in the future. Hence, he didn''t get angry and was patient with Leo. ''Ding, The information on them can''t be collected. Pleasee into contact with the weapons. Leo didn''t pick the weapon directly as he tried to check their information; however, the system was unable to show the information and asked him to touch them. ''Can I touch them before selecting?'' Leo went closer to the three weapons hovering above the mirror and asked the remnant spirit. The remnant spirit nodded his head and allowed Leo to touch them. "Thank you." After getting permission from the remnant spirit, Leo didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly picked one item. ''Ding, Weapon Name: Abyssal Battle Axe. Grade: High-level Supreme Grade. Effect: Temporarily increases the holder''s strength by three levels in the supreme rank. Skill: Boomerang Shot, throwing the battle axe like a boomerang at multiple targets and upon dealing the damage, the battle axe will return to the holder. Blessing: Upon activation of the weapon skill, a supreme-ranked apostle seal appears on the holder''s body, turning him into a temporary apostle. Note: The effect of the weapon will be sealed until the skill it activated. ''Huh?'' Even though there was only one effect and one skill for the demonic battle-axe, Leo was pretty much satisfied with it and thought he could easily kill level 5 or even level 6 with it. However, when he saw a new section at the bottom, Leo frowned. ''System, what is an apostle?'' Leo knew the meaning of that word; however, he wanted to know whether what he knew was right or not. Hence, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Apostle is a representative of a powerful entity in the world that sessfully passed their world assessment. ''Ding, More information about the Apostles will be avable to the host after the system upgrade or the sessful passing of the world assessment. Soon, the system exined and since Leo got what he wanted from the system, he was not in a hurry to learn about them. ording to his n, the system would be upgraded in two more days, therefore, Leo nned to learn more about the Apostles then. ''So, he wants to make me his apostle¡­interesting.'' Without a doubt, an apostle would get so many benefits from the powerful existence; however, in Leo''s view, it was just bing the ve to that powerful existence. Moreover, to be the apostle of the Abyssal Demon God, waspletely uneptable for him. Soon, Leo put the battle axe back in its ce and checked the other two weapons, Abyssal Demon Sword and Abyssal Demon Spear. Compared to the Abyssal Battle Axe, Leo felt the other two weapons were even better; however, the problem is, that those two weapons also have the same ''Blessing''. ''I understood why the remnant spirit was so generous to me by putting such powerful weapons on a show.'' Each of these weapons was high-level supreme grade weapons and in a world where it was about to see its first world assessment, it would be a valuable treasure. ''However, too bad for him as I already saw through his n.'' Even though Leo saw through the abyssal demon god''s n, he didn''t have any intention of rejecting a valuable reward like a high-level supreme-grade weapon. "I will pick this Abyssal Demon Sword." With a slight smile on his face, Leo took the long sword as his reward for the three weapons. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ck-coloured Abyssal Demon Sword shone with a bright light for a moment before returning to its normal state. ''Keke¡­I already knew he would be picking it.'' The remnant spirit silentlyughed to himself as he said to Leo. After saying that, the remnant spirit didn''t wait for Leo as he asked, Chapter 331 Fake Immortal Gods Bloodline Seeing that Leo selected the first reward, the Abyssal Demon God was over the moon as he knew sooner orter the human in front of him would be his apostle. Therefore, he became even more generous and decided to give a powerful bloodline as the second reward. ''Swoosh'' Soon, three small projections appeared in front of the remnant spirit with their names above them. ''Abyssal Demon God''s Bloodline'' ''War God''s Bloodline'' ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline.'' Leo silently muttered the names of the bloodline as he asked the remnant spirit, ''Can I know their effects?'' However, the remnant spirit didn''t exin or show the bloodlines'' effects as he asked Leo to pick one. ''What''s with this brat? Why can''t he just pick my own bloodline?'' ording to the remnant spirit''s n, Leo would select his bloodline; however, when Leo asked him about the effects, he became slightly angry; however, he controlled it. ''Huh? What a b*stard! He is indirectly asking me to select his own bloodline.'' Leo didn''t have any problem with picking one of the bloodlines; however, he feared he might be the Abyssal Demon God''s ve if he pick his bloodline. Therefore, he didn''t want to pick one without the information. ''Wait a second¡­there is really no need for him to pick my bloodline. Let''s just show him the effect.'' After thinking for a moment, the abyssal demon god decided to briefly reveal the information about the three bloodlines. Soon, the Abyssal Demon God exined about the three bloodlines and it was apparent he was promoting his own bloodline as he didn''t say any negatives for his own bloodline. ''Abyssal Demon God''s Bloodline and War God''s Bloodline look almost the same; however, thetter starts with a boost of 5x before reaching 10x.'' ''As for the Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline, it is not the worst as one-minute invincibility could change the tides of the match.'' Leo silently thought about the three bloodlines before asking the system, ''System, awakening any of these bloodlines doesn''t make me his apostle, right?'' ''Ding, There is no need for the host to worry as he could pick any bloodline he wants. ''Excellent.'' Leo heaved a sigh of relief and was about to pick a bloodline as he received a series of system notifications. ''Ding, The retrieval of the Bloodline Information isplete. ''Ding, Abyssal Demon God''s Bloodline: While using this bloodline, the host can''t differentiate between the friend or foe and only seeks absolute destruction. ''Ding, War God''s Bloodline: The host will fall into a temporarily weakened state for 10 minutes to one hour after the deactivation of this bloodline. ''Ding, Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline: Even though its effect can''t be increased, there was no side effect for this bloodline. Moreover, another important thing is, that the host can use his talents and skills during that one-minute invincibility. ''What?'' Leo was shocked upon hearing the information of the bloodlines that the Abyssal Demon God hid from him. ''Even without knowing these new advantages, I have already decided to pick the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline''.'' Earlier, he felt that choosing the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline'' over the other two bloodlines was a little risky; however, after seeing the system notifications, he was confident in his choice. "I will choose the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline''." Leo didn''t waste any time as he selected the bloodline. <...> It waspletely out of the remnant spirit''s expectations as he looked at Leo and asked in a calm voice, "Sure." Leo nodded with a slight smile as he already knew the Abyssal Demon God would ask or create some problem in giving him that bloodline. Of course, he was not going to tell what he learned from the system because it would only make the remnant spirit suspicious. "You must have already seen that I have a wide range of talents. I even have a talent that gives the same boost as that of the first two bloodlines was yet to be a supreme-grade talent." Leo was calm as he continued, "So, I felt it was best to choose something that gives me invincibility. Even if it was only one minute, it is enough to change the tide of the match." The remnant spirit left in the [Treasure Land] was just a small portion of the Abyssal Demon God and the moment Leo picked the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline'', the remnant spirit didn''t have many options. Because its main body didn''t leave orders if an apostle candidate chose the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline'' that was considered as a low-level bloodline by the Abyssal Demon God. The remnant spirit didn''t waste any time as he slightly blew the floating blood drop towards Leo which entered his brows. ''Aargh'' Soon, Leo fell to his knees as he felt the so-called pain all over his body for a few minutes. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully awakening the ''Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline''. ''Ding, The Blood Devil Goliath Bloodline is resonating with the host''s new bloodline and trying to awaken. ''Aargh..'' Before he could know what was happening, Leo once again felt pain all over his body as his blood started heating up. Chapter 332 Golden-Coloured Peacock Feather ''Huh? He is awakening another bloodline?'' The abyssal demon god''s remnant spirit was surprised to see Leo once again undergoing the Bloodline Awakening Process. ''I wonder what bloodline he will awaken.'' Soon, the remnant spirit became curious; however, all of a sudden, he froze because he realized what bloodline Leo was awakening. ''How is this possible? Just how?'' Looking at Leo whose entire body was glowing with a blood-coloured light and behind him, a huge blood-coloured devilish-looking goliath''s phantom appeared for a moment before disappearing. Even though he was just a remnant spirit, he instantly recognized the bloodline when he saw the phantom behind Leo. ''I don''t know how a human can awaken the devil''s bloodline, but I have to make him my apostle as soon as possible.'' Suddenly, the remnant spirit felt that the human in front of him was even more valuable than he initially thought. ''If that b*stard knows there is someone who awakened his bloodline in an unranked world, he would definitely make him his apostle. I should make him my apostle by the time he leaves the [Treasure Land].'' The remnant spirit knew that Leo would be bing his apostle sooner orter as long as he used the Abyssal Demon Sword; however, he wanted to see for himself that Leo activate the weapon skill. ''Even though it was only a temporary apostle seal, I can make it permanent that moment this world passes the World Assessment.'' Soon, he started making his ns while waiting for Leo to awaken his second bloodline. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s partially awakened bloodline is fully awakened now. ''Ding, Bloodline: Blood Devil Goliath (Level 1), Fake Immortal God (Level 1). It was not new for Leo to endure the pain, so, there were no issues for him as he easily endured the pain and awakened his talents. ''Huf..huf'' The first thing he did after the pain disappeared was to gasp for breath. Only after that, he check the bloodlines in his [Hero Interface]. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Blood Devil Goliath''s Bloodline (Level 1). Status: Fully awakened. Effect: Upon activation, the user''s strength temporarily increases by five times for five minutes. Side Effects: None. Cooldown: One hour. Note: 1) No talents or skills can be used when this bloodline is activated. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline (Max). Effect: Upon activation, the user can achieve one full minute invincibility. Cooldown: One day. Side Effects: None. With a thought, the information about his two bloodlines appeared in front of Leo, making him reveal a slight smile. Even though the Blood Devil Goliath''s Bloodline seemed weak, it was just at level 1. So, Leo was not worried much about it. ''To be honest, I don''t need to worry much about the bloodlines as I will be unlocking ''Bloodline Swallowing Ability'' after the upgrade.'' When he thought about the system upgrade, Leo could help but wonder what kind of surprise it would give him. ''Just two days. I need to be patient for the next two days and I can use the Fragments of the God Stones to speed up the remaining three weeks in an instant.'' Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts and stood up from the ground before asking the remnant spirit, "What is the third reward?" With the first two rewards, Leo was satisfied and curious about the third reward. p The remnant spirit also came out of his thoughts and chuckled at Leo before informing him, While the remnant spirit was speaking, a golden peacock feather appeared in front of him before flying towards Leo. ''Th..this is¡­'' Even though Leo didn''t know what it was, from its appearance, Leo was sure about one thing: It was valuable. ''Ding, Item Name: Reward Multiplier Feather. Item Grade: Unknown. Item Type: Support. Use: It can be used to multiply the rewards from passing the world assessment from anywhere between 2 to 10. More Information: It was known that these feathers are avable from only a few high-level Otherworldly Merchants. Even if he met that Otherworldly Merchant, we can''t afford to buy it. Both the system and the remnant spirit exined the item at the same time, making Leo greatly shocked. ''What? The rewards can be multiplied. Suddenly, I am itching for the World Assessment to start soon.'' Of course, Leo knew he was not ready for the world assessment yet as he had a few more things to do before that. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the golden peacock feather entered his body before disappearing without a trace. The remnant spirit asked Leo not to worry about the feather; instead, he suggested Leo focus on buying the items in the [Treasure Land] ''Swoosh'' Soon after, the remnant spirit disappeared with a satisfied smile. ''The moment he leaves the [Treasure Land], I will make sure he activates the Abyssal Demon Sword¡­Keke.'' This was thest thought in the remnant spirit''s head before leaving the [Treasure Land]. .... ''If I am not wrong, he would make me activate the weapon skill¡­Hehe.'' Leo could easily guess what the remnant spirit was nning in his head; however, Leo was not at all worried as he already devised a n when he chose the weapon. ''Anyway, it is time to buy the items from the [Gold Section] and [tinum Section].'' Without wasting any more time, Leo first opened the [Gold Section] of the [Treasure Room]. ¡­.. [Items inside the Gold Section] 1) Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal. 2) Supreme Monster Evolution Crystal. 3) Supreme Beast Evolution Crystal. Note: All three items cost one million treasure points each. ¡­.. Soon, the mirror showed the three items on the screen. ''Good things.'' Leo nodded as he was already expecting such valuable items in the [Gold Section]; however, he was more curious about the [tinum Section]. ''Let''s check it.'' ***** 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter. Chapter 333 [Bonus Chapter] Remant Spirit Issues A Side Quest Currently, Leo had five million treasure points and if he bought the items from the [Gold Section], he feared he might lose ess to the [ntinum Section] due to insufficient treasure points. Therefore, he decided to check the items in the [ntimum Section] before buying and clearing the [Gold Section]. ''Let''s check it.'' Soon, Leo selected the [tinum Section] and the mirror shone before showing the items in the [tinum Section]. [Items inside the tinum Section] 1) Grade 3 Random World Ticket, 2.5 million treasure points. 2) Grade 4 Abyssal Demon World''s World Ticket (Safe), 5 million treasure points. There were only two items in the [tinum Section] and two items were quite rare and almost impossible for someone from the unranked world to get his hands on. ''What does that word ''Safe'' mean?'' It was easy to tell the use of those two items; however, the extra word in the second item made Leo a little curious and touched it to get more information. The mirror has the information on all the items listed in the [Treasure Room]. So, Leo knew what he was doing. [After entering the Grade 4 Abyssal Demon World using that time, the user will be instantly teleported back to his world if there were any life-threatening situations.] [Also, the user can leave the world whenever he wants with a single thought ahead of his specified stay in that world.] ''A safe trip to the Grade 1 World? Interesting.'' As the grade of the world increases, the danger of that world would naturally increase; however, at the same time, the natural resources in that world would also go up. ''Even though it is useless for me, once I have enough strength to kill the Legend-grade beings, I can pay a visit to the rank 4 worlds.'' Leo didn''t have any ns to visit the Gade 4 world any time soon. Moreover, it was an Abyssal Demon God''s world. Therefore, Leo decided to wait until he had enough strength to enter the Grade 4 world. ''I already have enough grade 1 world trips to take. There is no hurry in entering the grade 4 world.'' Even though it was a safe world ticket, Leo could only take the full benefits from a grade 4 world when he had enough strength. ''Now, there is only one section left in the [Treasure Room].'' Looking at the grey-coloured [Diamond Section] on the mirror, Leo thought, ''ording to my guess, there will be only one item. I wonder what item is hiding inside it.'' Since he didn''t have any ess to the [Diamond Section], Leo could only wonder about it before buying all three items from the [Gold Section]. Soon, the mirror coughed out three sparkling crystals at Leo who caught them with ease. ''Ding, Item Name: Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal. Effect: By consuming it, a hero could evolve a normal Supreme-Grade talent into Special talent. ''Ding, Item Name: Supreme Monster Evolution Crystal. Effect: Limited to the Supreme-grade monsters who can undergo an evolution upon consuming it. ''Ding, Item Name: Supreme Beast Evolution Crystal. Effect: Limited to the Supreme-grade beasts that can undergo an evolution upon consuming it. Taking a brief look at the system notifications, Leo stored them in the storage ring. ''System, show me the remaining treasure points in my ount,'' Leo asked the system. ''Ding, Remaining Treasure Points: 2.3 million. ''I can still buy one item.'' Leo spent another 2.25 million treasure points to buy the Grade 3 Random World Ticket before leaving the [Treasure Room]. ¡­.. On the mountain that Leo cultivated, there were arge number of monsters, beasts and even humans. After changing the ''No Killing'' rule in the first trial, the number of participants inside the [Treasure Land] had decreased from more than 1100 to only around 500. However, a few minutes back, the remnant spirit gave them a side quest that those who killed the top three participants announced earlier, would get 10 million treasure points. And those who contribute to killing them would get one million treasure points each. After hearing such an excellent side quest, the participants stopped killing one another and decided to focus on Leo and his two followers. Obviously, they knew they could not kill the top three participants individually and decided to temporarily work together to kill them. Everyone agreed on the surface; however, they had their own ns. Soon, they rushed towards the mountain where Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn were waiting for Leo toe back; however, they were attacked by the other participants. "It''s been so long since I felt this way." "Woo¡­me too." Nevertheless, the Infernal Dragonborn and Silvermoon Wolf were not afraid of the surrounding participants. Instead, they were excited because they had already expected something like this to happen when the remnant spirit removed the ''No Killing'' rule. "These lowly mongrels dared toe at us. Show me what you got and I will do the same." Soon, the Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn rushed at their enemies and started killing them. "Dragon Roar" "Moon des" "Moon Region" "Dragon Fire" Even though it was their first time fighting together, the Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn worked very well. When one decreases their opponents'' battle prowess, the other would use a powerful attack and they interchange their moves. In a short time, they took care of around 100 participants with ease. "That''s enough. It is time for you to die." Suddenly, a few ck silhouettes moved at an incredible speed as they rushed at the Wolf and Dragonborn. "Do you think¡­" Even though those silhouettes were fast, the Wolf and the Dragonborn could clearly see them and thought to either dodge or block them. However, they suddenly realized they could not move from their ce. "Even though you guys are level 3 supreme-ranked beings, you can''t escape from thebined attack of my group." A group of humans, along with a couple of beasts and monsters worked together to freeze Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn in their moves. Their skills and talents include, [Shadow Capture], [Rapid Freeze], [Earth Clutches], [Thorny Vines] and so on. "After your death, your master will also follow too. So, there is no need for you to worry about it." "Everyone, attack." Even though a group of participants were rushing towards the Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn to kill, no one wanted to watch from the sideless. Soon, everyone used their long-range attacks on the previous monster leader and the beast leader. Since they were in no position to dodge or block the iing attacks, the Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn could only watch with angry looks on their faces. ''Is this how we are going to die?'' They knew there was no way they could escape from their current situation unless a miracle happened. However, will a miracle happen just because they wished for one? ''Swoosh'' "Who dares to attack my followers?" Nevertheless, just when they were about to die, their saviour appeared in front of them with a huge ck-coloured sword. "Abyssal Demon Sword''s weapon skill - Abyssal st." ***** 100 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. Chapter 334 Apsotle Seal ''Swoosh'' Leo appeared in front of Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf with his new weapon ''The Abyssal Demon Sword''. ''Since he wants me to activate the weapon skill of the Abyssal Demon Sword, I will make himcent with it.'' With an evil smile on his face, Leo tightened the grip around the Abyssal Demon Sword and shouted out loud. "Abyssal Demon Sword''s weapon skill - Abyssal st." ''Boom'' In the next second, a small ck-coloured barrier appeared around Leo and his two followers which condensed a little before sting all the participants around them. ''Aargh'' ''What kind of attack is that?'' ''Is that a high-level supreme-grade weapon?'' The participants that were closer to Leo died whereas the participants who were away from Leo suffered some severe damage. The surviving participants were shocked by the powerful st released by Leo and looked at the ck-coloured in his head. With a nce, they were able to tell that the weapon was not normal. ¡­. ''Finally¡­.he activated the sword skill. My apostle¡­my apostle.'' On the other hand, the remnant spirit didn''t care for the lives of the participants; instead, he was excited to see that Leo had finally used the weapon skill. ''Even though he only became a temporary apostle, I can turn him into my permanent apostle as soon as the world assessmentpletes.'' He was over the moon as he knew Leo could not escape from his grasp. ''It''s time for celebration.'' In the next second, he appeared on the mountain where Leo and the remaining participants were standing before announcing, No participant said anything because they realized that Leo was much more powerful than they assumed. What''s more, he even bought a high-level supreme-grade weapon from the [Treasure Room]. Therefore, deep down, they were quite relieved to hear the remnant spirit''s words. However, at the same time, they lost all their hopes of entering the [Treasure Room]. ''What? One million treasure points each?'' Everyone was surprised by the remnant spirit''s words and hurriedly thanked him; however, he had already disappeared from the mid-air. ''Since I got what I wanted, there is no need for the side trial.'' The remnant spirit had especially created that side trial for Leo to activate the weapon skill; however, who would have thought that Leo would directly activate it. ''Anyway, I should start making preparations to return to the main body and inform about our new apostle.'' After disappearing from there, the remnant spirit started making preparations to leave the [Treasure Land]. ¡­ ''Ding, A supreme-grade Apostle Seal appeared on the host''s body. ''Ding, The host will temporarily be the apostle of the Abyssal Demon God. Please devour the Apostle Seal before the Abyssal Demon God sees through your secrets. As for Leo, he was checking the notifications sent by the system, making him frown. ''Even the Gods will covet the [Talent Swallowing System]?'' Nevertheless, he didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly used one of his system abilities [Seal Swallowing Ability]. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ck-coloured demon tattoo on Leo''s hand shone a little before merging into his body. ''Ding, The host consumed a special type of supreme-grade seal. ''Ding, Consumed 99 more such special types of supreme-grade seals to upgrade the [Seal Swallowing System] to Legend rank. ''Huh? 99 more?'' Leo silently noted it in his head before looking at the participants and shouted, "So, you all have more than one million treasure points each¡­interesting." He didn''t want the remnant spirit to be suspicious that he had the ability to remove the seal. So, he acted like he didn''t know about it. "Escape." Currently, there were only around 100 participants left in the [Treasure Land] including Leo and surprisingly, more than half of them were humans. Even though the humans were less in numbers in the beginning, they were more intelligent than the monsters and beasts as they always maintained some level of caution while fighting the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf. Of course, even with such a level of caution, they lost half their numbers. The moment they saw the evil smile on Leo''s face, they didn''t hesitate to run away from there. "Master, let''s hunt them down." The two followers standing behind Leo were excited when they saw all the participants running away from them and wanted to hunt them. "Why don''t you tend to your injuries first? They will not go anywhere and if my guess is not wrong, they wille again." Leo revealed a slight smile as he was confident in the remnant spirit. ''Huh?'' The two followers didn''t understand Leo''s wordspletely; however, they didn''t think much about it and started recovering their energy and injuries. ''Ding, The Abyssal Demon Sword''s effect is locked. It can be unlocked only by activating the weapon skill. The reason why Leo was confident that all the participants woulde back again was that the remnant spirit would definitely use the same strategy to make him activate the weapon skill. ''Before theye back, I will start cultivating.'' Even if the remnant spirit promised to reward them with something nice, the remaining participants were all injured and it would take quite some time to recover from their injuries. Therefore, Leo decided to use this cultivation to be a rank 9 starlight warrior. ''As for the treasure points, I already have 20 million treasure points but I still didn''t get ess to the [Diamond Section]. I think I need to umte more treasure points.'' From the Abyssal st, Leo killed around 400 participants and adding the treasure points he received from his two followers, Leo received a total of 20 million treasure points. Surprisingly, it was not enough to get ess to the [Diamond Section] of the [Treasure Land]. ''It looks like he must have alreadye out of the shock and intentionally blocked thest section of the [Treasure Room].'' When this thought came to his mind, he silently entered the [Treasure Room] and bought the remaining item from [tinum Section] before starting his cultivation. ''Now, let''s see what the remnant spirit is nning.'' ***** 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter Chapter 335 [Treasure Halo] A few minutes ago, ''Huh? What happened to the Apostle Seal? Where did it go?'' Somewhere in the [Treasure Land], the remnant spirit frowned when he suddenly stopped sensing the Apostle Seal on Leo. Even though it was only temporary, as the creator of the Apostle Seal, the remnant spirit could feel some connection with the person that was engraved on. The remnant spirit was over the moon earlier; however, his excitement disappeared with the sudden disappearance of the apostle seal from Leo''s body. ''I have to check it out.'' Without wasting any time, he hurriedly teleported back to the mountain that Leo was standing on. ''Even though he is abnormalpared to the other participants, he seems like he didn''t even know about it.'' Seeing that Leo was about to fight the participants without having any clue about the Apostle Seal, the remnant spirit became even more confused. ''But where did the Apostle Seal go?'' The remnant spirit frowned and started thinking about it. ''Swoosh'' However, as he started thinking about it, the remnant spirit''s transparent body started flickering as though it would disappear at any time. ''Damn it¡­I spent so much energy in making changes in the [Treasure Land]. I need to recover my energy and announce a simr side quest again.'' Since he was only a remnant spirit, every change he made in the [Treasure Land] cost him a lot of energy. From the moment Leo entered the [Treasure Land], the remnant spirit kept on changing things. So, without a doubt, the remnant spirit spent so much energy. Hence, if he wanted to find out what happened to his Apostle Seal and to make Leo activate the weapon skill again, the remnant spirit needs some energy. ''Even though he will be activating the weapon skill sooner orter, I want to be sure that the seal doesn''t disappear again.'' If the Apostle Seal disappears every time, it would be difficult for the remnant spirit to turn Leo into a permanent apostle when the timees. ''Before that, I should make sure that he doesn''t get any ess to the Diamond Section of the [Treasure Land].'' It would take some time for the remnant spirit to recover the energy to maintain his form and to make changes in the [Treasure Land]. ording to the remnant spirit, Leo could easily gain the treasure points to ess the [Diamond Section]. Therefore, before he went into seclusion, the remnant spirit decided to lock the ess to the [Diamond Section]. If the remnant spirit heard Leo''s thoughts, he would be shocked because Leo was able to exactly guess what the remnant spirit was nning. If the remnant spirit''s main body were here, he would have guessed Leo''s thoughts; however, the remnant spirit was not powerful enough to achieve such a feat. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the remnant spirit disappeared to who knows where but his main objective was to recover the energy as soon as possible. .... On the other hand, Leo stopped worrying about the n that the remnant spirit woulde up with next. Until then, he decided to resume his cultivation which he stopped at rank 7 starlight cultivator. ''Ding, +2000 units of starlight energy have been gained. ''Ding, +2000 units¡­ . . For every hour, he was getting exactly +2000 uits of starlight energy and he was hoping to be a level 9 starlight cultivator and if possible even be a supreme cultivator before leaving the [Treasure Land]. ''However, it is entirely dependent on the remnant spirit''s next move.'' No matter how much Leo wanted to utilize his full time in the [Treasure Land] for his cultivation, he could not stand still if the remnant spirit made a big move to make him activate the weapon skill. ¡­.. Outside the Treasure Land, "How long are they going to take in clearing this [Tresure Land]?" The Dragon Summoning Hero was getting frustrated while waiting for the participants to clear the [Treasure Land]. After failing to enter the [Treasure Land], the Dragon Summoning Hero decided to wait outside and kill the participants that woulde out after clearing the [Treasure Land]. By doing so, he could at least get his hands on some of the treasures from the [Treasure Land]. However, it''s been around two days since the [Treasure Land] appeared and the Dragon Summoning Hero was running out of patience. ''Roar'' Suddenly, his azure wind dragon roared in a particr direction, making the Dragon Summoning Hero frown. ''Huh? So, there is someone else with me. Let''s relieve our boredom with him.'' With an evil smile on his face, the young man silently ordered, ''Ghost, catch him and bring him to me.'' ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' As soon as he gave out his order, the wind blew past him at an incredible speed and within no time, a loud dragon roar appeared in the distance. "It looks like Ghost has already caught him. I hope he won''t be a weakling as it won''t be interesting to kill him." Since it was the Supreme Dark Forest, the Dragon Summoning Hero could tell that person caught by his Ghost Dragon would be a supreme-ranked hero. However, he still hoped that person should be more powerful than level or level 2 supreme rank heroes because he likes to fight powerful beings. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' ''Roar'' Soon, a huge grey-coloured came towards him and threw the person in his mouth in front of the Dragon Summoning Hero. It was a young man in his twenties whose face waspletely covered in terror as he looked at the Azure Wing Dragon and the Ghost Dragon. "A rank 7 hero?" The Dragon Summoning Hero frowned when he saw the strength of the young man and asked, "What are you doing in the Supreme Dark Forest? Are you seeking death? If so, I can grant you." For a rank 7 here to enter the Supreme Dark Forest could be considered as seeking death. So, the Dragon Summoning Hero was curious about it and threatened to kill him if he don''t tell him what he was doing in the pitch-dark forest. "I-I¡­" "Ghost, it looks like he is still not scared enough. Why don''t you¡­" "I-I will tell you¡­I will tell you." Seeing that the young man was about to order the Ghost Dragon to toy with him, the ck-clothed young man became anxious and hurriedly started telling the reason why he entered the Supreme Dark Forest. "Go on." Since the Dragon Summoning Hero was waiting for the participants toe out of the [Treasure Land] anyway, he decided to listen to the young man''s story. "My name is Shawn and I have a talent [Treasure Halo]. With the help of the [Treasure Halo], I can find the [Treasure Lands], [God Ruins] and treasures. Not only that, except for a few high-level items, I can identify the items and their uses." Shawn was surviving in the wilderness and moving around the cities and knew how to survive in difficult situations. Since he was in a life and death situation where the other person might kill him without a second thought, Shawn decided to reveal his talent and make himself look useful to the Dragon Summoning Hero. "[Treasure Halo]?" The Dragon Summoning Hero revealed a surprised look on his face as he offered, "Are you willing to serve me?" "Yes, Master." There was no hesitation on Shawn''s face as he directly agreed to be the Dragon Summoning Hero''s follower. Chapter 336 Rank 9 Starlight Cultivator With a strength of rank 7, there was no way for Shawn to escape from the Dragon Summoning Hero and his supreme-ranked dragon. As someone who experienced the world, Shawn had done worse things just to survive. Hence, for him, following someone like the Dragon Summoning Hero was not an issue. "Huh? You sure know your ce¡­Good." The Dragon Summoning Hero nodded at Shawn who was in a half-kneeling stance. "However, it is not enough to show your loyalty to me." Just like Shawn, the Dragon Summoning Hero had experienced a few things in the cruel world and he doesn''t trust others so easily. Therefore, he hade up with something to keep Shawn remain loyal to him forever. "Ghost, do it." The Dragon Summoning Hero didn''t exin much to Shawn as he ordered the Ghost Dragon. ''Roar'' The Ghost Dragon evilly roared before spitting a ck ball full of Ghost Energy at Shawn. "What are you¡­.arrgh." Before Shawn could say anything, the ck ball entered his body, causing him unbearable pain. "Don''t worry. The pain will disappear after a few minutes." The Dragon Summoning Hero walked closer to Shawn and continued to exin, "The Ghost Ball inside your body would continuously produce Ghost Energy and it would take a week to fill your body. So, if you want to survive, you need toe to the Ghost Dragon to absorb the produced energy." ''Aargh'' Even though Shawn was experiencing unbearable pain, he understood the Dragon Summoning Hero''s words. In short, he had be the Dragon Summoning Hero''s ve. ''Sigh'' However, Shawn was not depressed when he heard those words; instead, he silently sighed while enduring the pain caused by the Ghost Ball inside his body. "What happens if your Ghost Dragon dies?" The pain inside Shawn''s body disappeared after a few minutes and the first thing Shawn asked after the pain disappeared was whether the Ghost Ball inside his body would still remain if the Ghost Dragon dies. ''Huh?'' Hearing Shawn''s words, the Dragon Summoning Hero frowned a bit; however, in the next second, he chuckled. "What? Do you want to kill it and be free?" The Dragon Summoning Hero could not help but feel funny when a rank 7 hero talked about the death of a level 1 supreme-ranked beast. What''s more, it was not a normal beast; instead, it was a Dragon that was much stronger than the regr beasts of the same rank. "As you can see I am just a rank 7 hero, do you really think I can kill it?" Shawn revealed a bitter smile when he realized the other party misunderstood his question and exined in detail, "I am just preparing myself whether to connect my life with the Ghost Dragon or not." "You don''t have to worry." The Dragon Summoning Hero understood Shawn''s concerns and replied, "If there is a day where my Ghost Dragon really dies, the Ghost ball inside your body would disappear and you can be free." "However, with me present here, there is no one who was capable of killing any of my Dragons." The Dragon Summoning Hero was confident in his abilities and the dragons he had summoned so far with his talent. "I hope so." Shawn shook his head as he silently thought, ''The moment you ced the Ghost Ball inside my body, your fate had already decided.'' There was a look of pity on Shawn''s face when he looked at the Dragon Summoning Hero; however, he didn''t bother much about it other than waiting. "Now¡­shall we talk about your talent?" Soon, the Dragon Summoning Hero started asking questions regarding Shawn''s talent and other [Treasure Lands] or [God Ruins] in this world. ¡­ Inside the [Treasure Land], ''Ding, The host''s dantian is full. Please spend a few units before resuming your cultivation. ''Ding, Starlight Dantian: 40000/ 40000 units. Leo opened his eyes when he received the system notifications regarding his starlight dantian. ''It''s time to be a rank 9 starlight cultivator.'' Without any hesitation, Leo used the 40000 units of Starlight Energy to upgrade his cultivation. ''Ding, The host has spent 40000 units of Starlight Energy and sessfully became a rank 9 Starlight Cultivator. ''Finally, I havepleted my small goal of reaching the rank 9 Starlight Cultivation.'' Leo revealed a slight smile and thought of checking his [Cultivation Interface]; however, before he could check it, he received a system notification ''Ding, The host''s [Talent Blessing Ability] hase out of the cooldown. Please use it. ''Huh? It''s already been a week since I blessed Arlo with talent?'' Leo felt the time was moving faster as it''s been a week since he had returned from the Devil Goliath''s World. ''If [Absolute Devour] would have upgraded a little sooner, I would not have wastedst week''s [Talent Blessing Ability] on Arlo.'' When he returned from the Devil Goliath World, his [Talent Blessing Ability] came out of cooldown and at that time, Leo felt Arlo should have an additional talent since he was a city leader. Nevertheless, there was nothing he could do about it now as he already nned to bless his talents to his beast and monster followers from now on. As for the human followers, he could give them the talent awakening crystals from the [Absolute Devour]. ''Since the [Talent Blessing Ability] hase out of the cooldown, then the system upgrade must have left with only three weeks.'' Suddenly, Leo thought about the system upgrade and without any hesitation, he checked the remaining time for the system upgrade. ''Ding, The remaining time for the system upgrade: 21 days 0 hours 31 minutes. ''Since I will be using three Fragments of the God Stones, it is time for me to upgrade and swallow the talents of my fellow participants.'' Leo no longer bothered to check the [Cultivator''s Interface] as he decided to swallow three new talents using the special effects of the Fragments of the God Stones. "I am going for the hunt." Leo said to his followers and before they could say anything, he had long disappeared from their view. ***** 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapters Chapter 337 [Bonus Chapter] Heavenly Flaming Lion King’s Suppression ''I wonder why the remnant spirit has not made any moves for the past two days.'' Leo was a little confused by the remnant spirit''s silence as Leo was not expecting him to remain silent for the whole two days. It''s been two days since Leo swallowed the supreme-ranked Apostle Seal and for the entire time, even though he was focused on cultivating, he kept an eye on the remnant spirit''s actions. So, after thinking for a few moments, Leo concluded that he was nning something big. ''I don''t care what he was preparing but the problem is, he is not giving me any ess despite having more than 40 million treasure points.'' Even though he didn''t actively collect the treasure points, his two followers, the Infernal Dragonborn and the Silvermoon Wolf continue to farm for the treasure points. Of course, they also killed the participants they encountered and took their points. ,m ''While I swallow some good talents, I might as well focus on the mission [Mighty Supreme].'' Suddenly, Leo''s eyes fell on three beasts in the distance as he slightly changed his ns. Actually, if Leo wanted, he could easilyplete the mission because two days back, he received the reward from the mission that hepleted in the pitch-ck abyss. ''ording to the reward, I can upgrade any five normal talents that I used in the Abyss to the supreme grade. What''s more, any one talent from those five normal talents will be evolved into a special type of talent.'' Even though Leo was excited to upgrade them, he controlled his excitement in doing so. ording to the ''Note'' of the mission [Mighty Supreme], the reward would be released based on the talents that upgraded to the Supreme Grade. ''If half of them were normal types of talents, the reward would drastically decrease by a lot. Therefore, it is better to keep that reward on hold until I upgrade all my special talents into supreme-grade talents.'' Even though Leo''s strength would significantly increase after using that reward, he was more focused on the reward. ''Just from the title of the mission, I can say the reward would be valuable. So, there is no need to rush things.'' Leo already has four supreme-grade talents, among which two of them were super special talents and the remaining two were special talents. Also, he was confident in upgrading the remaining six special talents to the supreme grade as all of them were at level 9 and only one step away from bing the supreme-grade talents. ''Anyway, it is time to upgrade a special talent to the supreme grade.'' Without wasting any time, Leo flew towards the three beasts that were fighting the Abyssal Beasts to collect the treasure points just like the remaining participants. However, what they didn''t know was, that there was only one section left in the [Treasure Room] and even that section was also impossible to ess no matter how many treasure points you have. [Iced Rain] [Lightning Bolts] [Rock Meteor] The three beasts were lion-type and they were working together in unison in killing the Abyssal Beasts and killed hundreds of them in a single round of their skills. ''Since they were able to survive until now means, they have enough strength. It''s not bad to take them in.'' Leo''s talent [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] needed him to get at least three lion-type followers. Currently, he had one lion follower and only needed two; however, Leo didn''t mind adding one extra follower than the required followers because these three lion-type beasts worked in perfect synchronization. ''Time to suppress them.'' Leo didn''t waste his breath on talking to them because he already prepared a good n to tame the lion-type beasts if he encountered them. [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] While he was still in the mid-air, Leo transformed into a powerful ming lion as hended in front of the three Lion-type beasts. "Want to fight me? If I lose, I will give all my treasure points and if you lose, you have to be my followers?" Leo directly challenged the three Lions to a fight. "Huh?" The three lions looked at the Heavenly ming Lion King in front of them and frowned. Even though they could tell that the beast in front of them was special, the three lion beasts didn''t know where its confidence wasing from. However, when they saw the treasure points that appeared above the ming lion''s head, they suddenly became excited. "Since you want us to take those treasure points, we don''t mind." The leader of the three lion brothers, Lightning Lion epted Leo''s challenge on behalf of his brothers. "What about you?" Leo looked at the remaining two lions and asked whether they were on the same boat as their brother. "Of course. If you can defeat my brother, we will consider you as our master." The Arctic Ice Lion and Goldrock Lion didn''t think much before epting Leo''s challenge. Since the ming lion in front of them was only a rank 9 beast, the three lions who had the strength of level 1 supreme rank didn''t think much while epting the challenge. "I hope you don''t go back on your words then." As soon as Leo finished his words, he didn''t wait for the three lions to make a move as he decided to make the first move to gain the advantage over the three lions. ''Ding, The host''s title [Supreme Killer] is equipped. [Heavenly ming Lion King''s Suppression]. Leo''s lion body shone brightly with red light and in the next second, the three lions felt they became weak by at least 50 percent. "Heavenly Fire Fang" Leo''s first target was the Arctic Ice Lion as he bit its body with his fiery fangs. "Why the hell are you attacking him?" However, in response to his attack, what Leo got was angry yells from the Lightning Lion and the Goldrock Lion. ''Huh?'' Leo frowned when he heard the two lions'' angry yells and suddenly realized something and hurriedly released the Arctic Ice Lion from his fangs. "I forgot to tell you that I want to challenge you three to fight me together." "What?" ******* 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter Chapter 338 Beast Subduing Formation "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 waspletely 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 exined 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 ept 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 iing 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 fierynd 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 sted out of the [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] before he could reach the ming 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 identally. It was his fight time using his skill [Heavenly ming Lion King''s Suppression] together with other skills. ording 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 identally killed him. I am d 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 be Leo''s follower. Of course, the aura around the Heavenly ming 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 epted 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 be 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 sessfullypleted the upgrade requirements to upgrade the special talent [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation]. ''Ding, Please use one Special Upgrade Stone or three Advanced Upgrade Stones toplete 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 toplete the upgrade. ''I think it is better to use them and empty my storage ring a little.'' While the [Heavenly ming 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 toplete 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 urred as the Goldrock Lion sted 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 bing 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.'' *** Next Bonus Chapter at 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 339 [Beast Tamer]...[Beast Tamer]...[Unique Beast Tamer] In the beginning, when he saw around 100 human supreme-ranked heroes in the [Treasure Land], Leo guessed there would be at least one participant from any one secret organization. However, when he saw five men in the distance, Leo could not help but reveal an excited smile. This world is more or less run by secret organizations from shadow and having their information for Leo would make things easier for him in searching for his first Joel. "Stop talking and focus on the formation." Four men were excited about catching four powerful-looking lions and talked about their progress in their position in the organization; however, the one who looked like their leader snapped them out of their conversation. "Yes, brother." Coming out of their conversation, the four men nodded their heads and made some hand signs. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the barrier around Leo and the lions started shrinking slowly but steadily. "There is no need for you to worry. You will be knocked out for some time." "That''s right! By the time you wake up, you will be our tamed beasts." "Don''t worry. We promise to take good care of you." Except for the leader of the group, the remaining four men chuckled while informing the lions caught in their formation. "There is no need for you to worry. I will take care of this." Since the three lions have already be his followers, it was his responsibility to protect them when they were in danger. Hence, he asked them not to worry about it and decided to revert back to his original form. ''Ding, The host''s special talent [Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation] has been upgraded to Supreme grade. ''Ding, The host''s special talent [Mighty Combustion] has been upgraded to Supreme grade. Suddenly, Leo received two system notifications, making him nod in satisfaction. ''Ding, The host can use his other talents even when he is in the Lion Form. ''This is what I am waiting for.'' Leo was hoping for this for a while now and when he heard the system notification, he was excited and roared in joy. [Nether Spectre] Since the barrier around them was shrinking, Leo didn''t bother to check the changes in the newly upgraded talents; instead, he used a merged skill to pass through the barrier without any problem. "What?" "How did the lion...wait a second... when did it be a supreme-ranked lion?" The members of one of the secret organizations were shocked when they saw the ming lion pass through their formation without any problem. What''s more shocking was that the ming lion''s strength increased from rank 9 to level 1 supreme-ranked in a second. [Earth Maniption - Earthquake] On the other hand, Leo didn''t give them any answers or time to react as he used his supreme-ranked [Earth Manption]. Cracks appeared on the ground and before the five men could do anything, they fell into those cracks. ''Kacha'' Leo didn''t stop there and used his talent to close the cracks in the earth to bury their lower body in the ground. ''Puchi'' To extract the information about the secret organizations, Leo didn''t need all five of them as he instantly killed two of them. ''Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Do you want to extract the talent [Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Do you want to extract the talent [Beast Tamer]. Two system notifications rang in Leo''s head which surprised him a little. ''The two men I killed have the same talents?'' Even though having simr talents was not rare, Leo was a little surprised to kill the two men who had the same talent at the same time. ''Let''s see what talents the remaining three men have.'' With a curious look, Leo essed the information on the remaining three men stuck in the ground. ''Ding, Talent: Beast Tamer. ''Ding, Talent: Beast Tamer. ''Ding, Talent: Unique Beast Tamer (Special Talent). Soon, the full information about the three men appeared in front of Leo; however, he only focused on their talents and was surprised to see everyone had the same talent. The leader of the five-man team was a special type of Beast Tamer; however, it was more or less the same talent. ''This is...interesting. I have never seen five people having the same talent working together.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he suddenly thought of something. ''Kacha'' ''Swiish'' Since two men from the five-men formation died, the barrier around the three lions cracked and disappeared into thin air. At the same time, the remaining three men that were half-buried inside the ground coughed mouthfuls of blood. "Whiskered Werecats,e out and kill it." "Isted Drake, you can eat the lion without any hesitation." "River Wyvern, Dust Ent and Tiger Silme don''t hold back your strength. I want that lion dead." Even though they were half-buried inside the ground, it didn''t stop them from summoning their beasts. ''Roar'' ''Growl'' In just a few seconds, the entire area was filled with various tamed beasts that roared and growled at Leo before rushing toward him without wasting any time. Since their masters were so adamant about killing the ming Lion, they didn''t hold back their strength and used their full strength. [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] Even though this skill was supposed to be in cooldown with the upgrade in the talent, the cooldown has been reset. Despite having other powerful skills, Leo felt it was a cool skill that could easily take care of all the targets that were rushing toward him. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Without any surprise, the iing tamed beasts of the three men created a series of explosions just like the Lightning Lion. However,pared to before, the skill [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] was more powerful and each explosion dealt so much damage that the tamed beasts were instantly turned into a crisp. ''Holy...this skill was more powerful than I imagined.'' Leo thought he was already overestimating that skill; however, it always proved him wrong. ''Since I took care of the tamed beasts, it is time to have a good chat with them.'' Soon, Leo reverted back to the human as he slowly walked toward the three half-buried men. "What? You are that human?" "Wait a second...so, it was not a glitch that you have so many treasure points." They recognized that the human was none other than Leo who has so many treasure points. Earlier, they noticed the huge number of treasure points above ming Lion''s head; however, they felt there were some errors in the number. During thest two days, the treasure points above the participants'' heads were experiencing some kind of glitch. Therefore, they considered Leo''s 40 million treasure points as a glitch. However, when they saw the ming lion transform into Leo, they realized it was not a glitch. [Nether Domain] "Yes, shall we have some good chat?" After activating his supreme-ranked talent to weaken the three men further, Leo asked with an evil smile. "No, let''s not." Nevertheless, the leader of the group shook his head and rejected. "What about you two? Are you going to tell which secret organization you belong to?" Leo was not angry at the leader as he had his ways to make them talk; however, before he used them, Leo asked the other two while putting the Blood-coloured mask on his face. "W-we belong to the ''League of Beast Masters''." *** Next Bonus Chapter at 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 340 League Of Beast Masters As the members of the secret organization, they were trained to endure torture, so that, the information about the secret organization would not be revealed. Just like the leader, the two other members decided not to say anything about their organization. However, the moment they saw Leo put their blood-coloured mask on his face, they felt a shiver run down their spine because they recognized Leo''s other identity. From the rumours they heard about the Talent Swallowing Hero, the two men felt it was better to answer his questions when he asked nicely rather than when he bes a monster and swallows their talents. Previously, he was only a rank 9 hero; however, now, he was a level 2 supreme hero. So, how could they not fear him? "W-we belong to the ''League of Beast Masters''." The two men said in unison with a voice full of fear. "League of Beast Masters?" Except for the ''Order of the ck Tower'', Leo didn''t know the names of the other secret organisations; however, since both men said the name at the same time, Leo didn''t doubt they were lying. "Idiots¡­stop speaking. Do you think he is the Talent Swallowing Hero?" On the other hand, the leader of the group shouted at his subordinates, "Just because someone has a blood-coloured mask doesn''t mean he is a Talent Swallowing Hero." After the Talent Swallowing Hero became famous, many tried to impersonate him for their benefit; however, most of them were killed and the remaining never dared to impersonate him. So, the leader of the group thought Leo was also one of the impersonators and tried to make his subordinates'' mouths shut. "Don''t worry. I will give you a little show before asking other questions." Since the two men feared the Talent Swallowing Hero more than he imagined, Leo felt it would be very easy to get answers from them. ''System, extract the talent.'' Leo walked towards one of the two corpses that he killed earlier and used [Talent Swallowing Ability]. ''Ding, Extracting the Talent [Beast Tamer]. Soon, the corpse twitched a little and a grey-coloured crystal condensed in front of Leo. "See¡­this is how I got the name Talent Swallowing Hero." After saying those words, Leo swallowed the talent crystal in a single gulp. ''Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, Talent Name: Beast Tamer, (Level 1). Talent Type: Normal / Rare Effect: 1) The user has a 10 percent chance of taming the beasts. 2) There is a 1 percent chance of awakening one of the tamed beasts'' skills. Note: 1) The above chances are applicable for the beasts that have the same level as that of the talent. 2) As the number of tamed beasts under the user increases the chances of the two effects decrease. In less than a minute, Leo awakened a talent and the information about his new talent was also projected in front of him. ''Even though it was a normal type of talent, it is still a rare one. But¡­.'' Leo didn''t finish his words because when he thought that he had encountered five men with this talent despite being rare, made him shake his head. ''Anyway, despite being a normal talent, it already has two effects andpared to the first effect, the second effect is quite interesting.'' Even though the probability of awakening one of the tamed beasts'' skills was quite low, Leo knew it would increase as the level of talent increased. ''I think I could afford to do some little experiment.'' Earlier, when he saw the five men had the same talent, Leo got an interesting idea; however, he hesitated a little. However, when he saw that this talent has two effects at level 1 and both of them were good, Leo decided to try his experiment. ''System, reset the cooldown for the [Talent Swallowing Ability] and extract the talent from the second corpse.'' Soon, Leo started extracting the second [Beast Tamer] talent while keeping an eye on the three men. ¡­. "Boss, he is really the Talent Swallowing Hero." "He is extracting his talents so openly. I don''t think he will let us go. So, there is no need to answer any of his questions and prepare to die." . . After witnessing Leo swallowing a talent crystal condensed from their fallen colleagues, the three men didn''t have any doubts about Leo''s identity. However, the leader tried to convince the other two members to shut their mouths as he knew that the Talent Swallowing Hero would kill them sooner orter. There was a reason why no one knew about the Talent Swallowing Hero''s identity and it was because he killed everyone who knew about it. However, the two men were still in a dilemma as they didn''t know what to do. ¡­. ''Ding, The host awakened a talent [Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, Detected that the host has simr talents. Do you want to merge it? With the help of the [Talent Merging Ability], Leo could even merge twopletely different talents and skills without any problem. So, he was not surprised to see the second notification. ''However, it is still not the time to merge them.'' However, Leo didn''t merge them as he had other ns. "Now, since I took some effort to confirm my identity, are you going to answer my questions?" Leo looked at the two men because he didn''t have any hope that the leader would be answering his questions. ''From what I have seen so far, the leader seems to be so loyal to his organization, if I can crack him down, I will get a lot of information.'' Leo silently thought in his head as he waited for the answers from the two subordinates. "If you promise us¡­." "So, you are choosing the hard way?" Leo didn''t wait for them to finish their words as he could already guess what they wanted. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and used his talent [Haunting of Ecstasy] on the leader. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the leader of the group fell into a nightmare. Leo didn''t have any ns of wasting his energy on the two subordinates because they might not know many things about the secret organization since they easily blurted out the name of the organization the moment they saw the Blood-coloured mask. Nevertheless, Leo felt that as long as he tortures their leader using the talent [Haunting of Ecstasy], the two subordinates choose to answer his questions. "I will let you two witness the pain and misery of your leader." With an evil smile under his mask, Leo continued, "If you don''t want to go through the same nightmare, you can answer my questions for an easy death." Time continued to pass and in less than a minute, the leader of the group started groaning in pain. ''Aargh¡­this is just a nightmare¡­I can endure this. Nothing is real¡­nothing is real.'' Surprisingly, the leader figured out that he was currently experiencing a nightmare. "You are much stronger than I thought." Leo praised the leader for having strong willpower. "However, it will only make things easy for me and difficult for you." In the next second, Leo changed the scenario ying inside the leader''s head with an evil smile on his face. *** Next Bonus Chapter at 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 341 System 4.0 "Do you think this can scare me¡­aargh." ''Aargh'' The groans of the leader of the group became louder and louder. The two subordinates who were watching their strong leader groan in pain could not help but shudder. ''If the leader is barely able to endure it, I don''t think we can handle it.'' The two men silently thought to themselves and looked at each other and decided tomit suicide; instead of getting tortured by the Talent Swallowing Hero. Earlier, they thought their leader woulde up with some deal with the Talent Swallowing Hero; however, they didn''t expect their leader to be so loyal to the organization that he didn''t even bother to make a deal with the Talent Swallowing Hero. Even though they were not loyal to their secret organization, the two men thought to not reveal any information and quietlymit suicide to escape the torture. "If you are thinking ofmitting suicide, why don''t you just join me?" Leo saw the two men summon a small dagger from their storage rings to kill themselves; however, he didn''t move personally to stop them. Instead, he offered a deal to them, which made the two men pause their actions. "What did you say?" "What do you mean by joining you? Are you asking us to be your followers?" The two men felt a little hopeful as they asked Leo about his deal to get confirmation. "You heard it right! I know you must have your reasons to join the secret organization. As long as you answer all my questions, I will take you in as my subordinates." Leo didn''t give them any time to think as he continued, "Since I became a supreme-ranked hero, I want to create my own secret organization. Why don''t you be the first batch of my secret organization?" "Really?" "We will definitely follow you even in our deaths, master." The two men no longer hesitated and hurriedly agreed to it. ''I got them.'' Leo silently thought in his head with a cold smile and asked, "Before that, why don''t you tell me everything you know about the secret organization?" "Of course." One of the two men nodded and hurriedly exined, "We belong to the League of the Beast Masters and it only recruits those who have the talents like [Beast Tamer], [Beast Control], [Beast Hynoptism], [Beast Nurture] and so on." "Oh." Leo was surprised a bit and thought, ''It looks like this secret organization is not as bad as I thought it is.'' Since the secret organization only recruits those with a particr talent, Leo didn''t think they would be kidnapping the random orphan and children like the ''Order of the ck Tower''. However, in the next second, he heard something that made Leo change his opinion on the ''League of the Beast Masters.'' "We have never seen the leader of our secret organization but we know he has a talent that could mutate and evolve our beasts. Even though it was very evil and required the blood and the organs of the humans to evolve and mutate the beasts." "I think the Talent Swallowing Hero can swallow that talent as it would be quite useful for you to make all your tamed beasts a lot powerful." ''I thought they were good and in a few moments, they already proved me wrong.'' Finally, he understood why the ''League of the Beast Masters'' became a secret organization; instead of a good organization like the ''Order of the Healing Angels''. ''Nevertheless, the talent of their leader seems pretty interesting.'' Leo revealed an evil smile as he shook his head and continued to ask one question after another. Of course, Leo didn''t believe the talent was so evil; instead, the usage of the talent was. For example, his [Talent Swallowing Ability] was considered an evil talent; however, Leo knew for himself that it was not. Moreover, it helped him in surviving the difficult situations that he thought he could survive. ''If I get the chance, I should check it out and see whether I can use it.'' Since he had a lot of beasts under his care, Leo felt he could use that talent to mutate and evolve his beasts. ''If it really requires the blood and organs to evolve and mutate them, I will just rece them with the natives of other worlds.'' Since Leo had so many world tickets, he felt it was not a big issue for him. Hence, he thought of keeping an eye on that talent. "So, do you know about the other secret organizations?" After learning a few more minor things about the ''League of the Beast Masters'', Leo asked about the other secret organizations. "This¡­we don''t know." Even though the two men were supreme-ranked heroes, their level was not high in their organizations, so they don''t know anything about the other organizations. "However, we only know there were five secret organizations, including ours." "Huh? There are five secret organizations?" Leo was not surprised as he guessed there would be less than ten secret organisations in this world. However, these two men didn''t know the names of those organizations, making Leo feel they were no longer useful to him. ''I think I can send them on their way to hell now.'' Leo didn''t want the followers who would easily betray their own organization. Therefore, he decided to kill them when he felt they were no longer useful to him. "If the Talent Swallowing Hero wants, we can collect the information about them from their members who were currently inside the [Treasure Land]." Just when Leo thought to kill them, he heard something that made him stop his line of thoughts. "They are currently inside the [Treasure Land]?" Leo asked them with a frown. "Yes, even though most of them were dead, the leaders of their squads along with a few squad members were still alive." Soon, the two men exined about how they were stationed at the Supreme Mountain City to capture the Talent Swallowing Hero and how they mistook the [Treasure Land] for a natural treasure and rushed into the [Treasure Land]¡­everything. "Oh. So, you were supposed to kill me?" Leo chuckled when he learned about the alliance of the five secret organizations. "Thank you for your valuable information. Now, you can go and rest for eternity." ''sh'' As soon as he finished his words, Leo painlessly killed them in a single strike. "Since you have provided me with some valuable information, I will let you go painlessly." After killing them, Leo used the special effect of the ''Fragments of the God Stones'' and reset the cooldown for his [Talent Swallowing Ability]. ''Ding, The host awakened a talent [Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, The host awakened a talent [Beast Tamer]. ''I have four [Beast Tamer], I wonder whether I can merge all four of them with the [Unique Beast Tamer] talent?'' Leo was curious and thought, ''I will find out whether I can do that or not afterpleting the system upgrade.'' In total, he used the special effects for three Fragments of the God Stones and without wasting any more time, he used those three Fragments of the God Stones to upgrade the system. ''System, I will use three Fragments of the God Stones to instantly speed up the three weeks of upgrade time for the system.'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the system for sessfully upgrading the system. *** Next Bonus Chapter at 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 342 [Bonus Chapter] Bloodline Swallowing Ability ''Ding, Congrattions to the system for sessfully upgrading the system. With the help of three Fragments of the God Stones, Leo reduced the upgrade time by 21 days. As a result, the system finished its upgrade instantly, making Leo quite excited about the system upgrade. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with the following rewards for sessfully upgrading the system. ''Ding, 1) Beast City Creation Token (Silver). 2) Monster City Creation Token (Silver). 3) Human City Creation Token (Silver). ''Only three rewards?'' Leo was a bit disappointed with the rewards of upgrading the system; however, he didn''t think much about it. ''I have already gained so much from looting the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Land]. So, it''s alright! I hope there are some good changes in the system.'' Compared to the rewards from upgrading the system, Leo was most excited about the changes in the system after the upgrade. Hence, he didn''t bother to check much about the rewards and focused on the changes. As for the three rewards, without checking their information, Leo knew what they used from their names. ''Ding, The previously hidden system feature [Fragment of God Stones'' Shop] will no longer be hidden. ''Ding, A new system feature [Thoughts of Gods] is unlocked. ''Ding, The host can pick one of the following three system abilities. ''Ding, 1) Spirit Swallowing Ability: The host can swallow the weakened spirits and souls to gain some random talent or anything belonging to the swallowed soul as a reward. 2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed. 3) Bloodline swallowing ability: The host can swallow the bloodlines from the enemies. Note: All these abilities have various limitations, which would only be shown after the host picks one of the abilities. . . . Soon, Leo''s head was filled with the system notifications; however, he was not annoyed by them; instead, he was excited about them. Leo took his own sweet time checking each and every system notification that appeared in front of him. ''He can experience the nightmare a little longer. There is no rush.'' For a second, Leo looked at thest man from the ''League of the Beast Masters'' and didn''t bother much about him and focused on checking the system notifications. ''This [Fragments of the God Stones'' store] is how I can buy the system abilities.'' Leo had previously found out about this hidden system feature and used three ''Fragments of the God Stones'' to buy the system ability [Cultivation Swallowing Abilty]. Even though he didn''t get a chance to use this new system ability, Leo was not worried much about it spending three Fragments of the God Stones. ''It''s time to buy some new system abilities.'' Leo didn''t check the second system feature or chose a system ability from the three options given by the system; instead, he decided to check out the system abilities that he could buy from the store. ''Ding, [Fragments of the God Stones'' store] 1) Lucky Buy: Gives a random system ability or no system ability. Cost: Five Fragments of the God Stones. 2) Random Buy: Randomly gives a system ability. Cost: 10 Fragments of the God Stones. (Second use). Note: ''Specific Buy'' will be avable in the next system upgrade. ''The Lucky Buy might not give a system ability; however, the Random Buy will definitely give me one system ability for the purchase.'' After reading how the [Fragments of the God Stones'' store] words, Leo understood how it works. ''The cost increased from three to ten Fragments of the God Stones?'' Another thing that caught Leo''s eye was the cost of the [Random Buy]. Previously, Leo used only three Fragments of the God Stones to unlock his [Cultivation Swallowing Abiltity]; however, it was asking for ten Fragments of the God Stones. ''It looks like each time I buy it, the cost will increase.'' Leo guessed it and decided to give it a try. ''Ding, Fragments of the God Stones: 19. Adding to the previous Fragments of the God Stones he had, Leo bought ten in the [Treasure Land]. After spending three fragments on the system upgrade, he still had 19 left. Therefore, Leo decided to use 10 Fragments of the God Stones and chose [Random Buy]. Leo didn''t want to take a risk as of now on some [Lucky Buy] where he might not get any system ability. ''Since I am still weak, it is better to have guaranteed system abilities rather than taking a chance.'' Leo silently selected the [Random Buy] and waited for his new system ability. ''Ding, The host has spent 10 Fragments of the God Stones to buy a random system ability ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for awakening the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability]. Unlike thest time, it didn''t ask Leo to wait for long; instead, it instantly revealed what system ability he gained. ''[Bloodline Swallowing Ability]?'' Leo was not as excited as he was before; instead, he hurriedly checked the system notification that asked him to pick one of the system abilities. ''Please show me a new system ability¡­.a new system ability in ce of the [Bloodline Swallowing Abiltiy].'' Even though he didn''t check the system notification that showed the options for his new system ability, Leo was sure there was a [Bloodline Swallowing Ability]. ''Ding, 1) Spirit Swallowing Ability: The host can swallow the weakened spirits and souls to gain some random talent or anything belonging to the swallowed soul as a reward. 2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed. Note: All these abilities have various limitations, which would only be shown after the host picks one of the abilities. ''Damn it¡­as I expected. Since I got that system ability, it disappearedpletely.'' What Leo hoped was to see a new system ability; however, since he got the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] from the store, he was unable to see a new system ability. ''Let it be. I can just buy another [Random Buy] after I get a Fragment of the God Stone.'' Leo shook his head and checked the price for the [Randome Buy], only to drop his jaws with a shock. *** Here is your [Bonus Chapter] for reaching 150 GT. Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 343 System Feature: [Thoughts Of Gods] The reason why Leo was shocked was, that the cost to buy the [Random Buy] was no longer 10 Fragments of the God Stones; instead, it was 100. That''s right! It''s freaking 100 Fragments of the God Stones. ''Ding, 1) Lucky Buy: Gives a random system ability or no system ability. Cost: Five Fragments of the God Stones (Always fixed). 2) Random Buy: Randomly gives a system ability. Cost: 100 Fragments of the God Stones. (From the third use onwards, the cost is fixed). ''Even though I expected the cost to increase, I didn''t expect it would rise by 10 times.'' Leo shook his head in disappointment as he continued, ''It looks like getting the system abilities is no longer as easy as I thought it was.'' Initially, Leo thought he could buy a few system abilities with the Fragments of the God Stones; however, who would have thought that the price would increase to 100 Fragments of the God Stones just after two purchases? ''Should I go for [Lucky Buy]? It only costs five Fragments of the God Stones.'' Leo was a little tempted to purchase the [Lucky Buy]; however, he controlled his urge and thought, ''I think it is better to use that option when I have 20 or 30 Fragments of the God Stones.'' If he had 20 or 30 Fragments of the God Stones, Leo could purchase the [Lucky Buy] four or six times, which increases his chances of getting a system ability. ''However, I still felt it is better to wait until I have 100 Fragments of the God Stones.'' Leo didn''t want to depend on luck and waste his Fragments of the God Stones; however, he felt he should give it a try. ''With 100 Fragments of the God Stones, I can purchase [Lucky Buy] 20 times and no matter how unlucky I am, I should be able to get one or two system abilities, right?'' Leo silently thought of another probability and decided to give it a try when he had 100 Fragments of the God Stones. ''Anyway, let''s check the new system feature. It seems interesting.'' Even though [Fragments of the God Stones'' store] was revealed after the system upgrade, it was not a new system feature. Moreover, from the name of the system feature, Leo felt it was quite interesting. Therefore, he no longer bothered about the store and focused on the new system feature. ''Ding, System Feature: Thoughts of Gods. Use: The host can see the thoughts of the gods rting to you and the people surrounding you through the system. Additional Benefit: The host can directly receive the rewards from God by piquing their interest or pleasing them. Note: There are no Gods watching the nameless human world. You will be notified once any God shows interest in this world. ''This is¡­it is just like I expected. The lives of the people in the world mean nothing to these so-called Gods.'' After reading the information about the new feature, Leo was not excited; instead, he was agitated that the lives of the natives of the world mean nothing to them. All they wanted was entertainment! ''The system said it would help me be the ''Talent Swallowing God''. When I reach such a level, I will give those bored gods some actual fun.'' When he said those words, Leo revealed an evil smile, ''More importantly, that ancient voice will be receiving quite an entertainment from me when the timees.'' Compared to the bored gods, Leo was angrier at the Ancient Voice who hates the human race for who knows what reasons. ''I know the ancient voice was opening the portals and sending the monsters into the worlds but the thing is, he was not ying by the rules that nearly cost the humanity of this world getting erased.'' If the ancient voice yed by the rules and exined the things and awakened the talents in the humans, they would have been quite powerful. Of course, without the help of a few gods, they were able to survive and get some foothold for the uing world assessment. ''Thanks to the [Books of the God Ruins], I know about the titles of all the Gods that helped the human world. If I encounter them in the future, I should at least thank them for helping us.'' Even though Leo could tell they have their own reasons to visit the nameless human world to help the humans, he was grateful to them for taking a great risk by secretlying into the world. Hence, Leo thought to be grateful to them except for the Abyssal Demon God. ''Since there were no gods watching over this world, this new system is useless as of now.'' Leo closed the system window of the new feature before looking at the two system abilities that he could pick from. ''[Spirit Swallowing Ability] and [True Pill Swallower].'' One of them was an old ability that Leo was ignoring every time, whereas the other one was a new system ability that he was seeing for the first time. ''I wonder whether I can swallow the remnant spirits with the first ability?'' When he read the basic description of the [Spirit Swallowing Ability], this was what Leo asked himself. If he could see the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God and ording to the ability''s description, he would receive a talent or anything rting to that remnant spirit. So, he was quite curious about what he would get by devouring the Abyssal Demon God''s remnant spirit. ''Ding, Even though the remnant spirits were only a small portion of the God-level entities'' spirits, they were still spirits. So, the host can devour them as long as they are weakened. ''Excellent. I will go with the [Spirit Swallowing Ability].'' As soon as he received the system''s exnation, Leo didn''t think much before selecting the system ability and at the same time, he thought, ''As for the True Pill Swallower, you need to wait a little longer.'' ''Ding, Please wait for a few minutes while the system awakens the new ability of the host. ''Sure. Until then, I will check the changes in the existing system abilities.'' Soon, Leo started checking the changes in the system abilities that he had before the upgrade. *** Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 344 Significant Upgrade In The System Abilities Whenever the system upgrades, other than a new system feature and the system ability, there would be some changes in the old system abilities. Even though the system abilities were not guaranteed to upgrade, there was a high chance of upgrade in them too. ''Ding, The [Talent Swallowing Ability]''s cooldown has been reduced to one week. ''Ding, The [Seal Swallowing Ability] can allow the host to swallow the low-level legend-grade seals; however, it will require a lot of time like months or even years depending on how special the seal was. Leo was already expecting the cooldown for the [Talent Swallowing Ability] to be reduced to the week and as for the [Seal Swallowing Ability], it waspletely out of his expectations. ''What? I can swallow the legend-grade seals?'' Leo was excited about it as he knew how useful his [Seal Swallowing Ability] became after the upgrade. Since Leo would be venturing a lot of high-grade worlds after the world assessment, it would be a good ability to have. ''Let''s check the abilities that I can use instantly.'' Even though the [Seal Swallowing Abilitiy] got a good boost, he could not use it any time soon as there were no legend-grade seals around him. Hence, he checked the [Talent Merging Abilitiy] to see the changes in it and revealed a satisfied look. ''Ding, The [Talent Merging Ability] can now merge two already merged talents and skills and at the same time, the host can see the sess rate before merging. ''This is what I am waiting for.'' For every upgrade, Leo guessed that the limitations on these system abilities would either decrease or disappear. Leo was confident that he could merge the already merged talents and skills. That''s the reason why he swallowed the talent [Beast Tamer] four times and he was nning to swallow the [Unique Beast Tamer] from the leader after getting the information he needed. ''I will start my experiment with the [Talent Merging Ability] after I get the [Unique Beast Tamer] talent.'' With that thought in mind, Leo continued to check the changes in the other system abilities. ''Ding, There are no changes in the [Cultivation Swallowing Ability]. ''Even if there are changes in it, I don''t know how it is going to benefit me since I am yet to use it.'' Leo was not expecting much from the [Cultivation Swallowing Ability] as he checked the final system ability. ''Ding, There are two changes in the [Talent Blessing Ability]. p 1) The chances to bless the talents will umte from now on. 2) There is a small chance of random effect while blessing the talent. It might be a talent mutation, evolution or even a talent level-up. ''What? Two changes?'' Leo was expecting only one change. So, he was a little surprised with the two changes in the [Talent Blessing Ability]. ''With the first change, I don''t have to keep track of this ability or rush things in blessing some random talent or skill to some random follower.'' ''As for the second change, even though it only has a small chance of happening, it is still good as I will get a ''Blessing Chance'' for every week, it will be 52 chances in a year. I don''t think I am that unlucky not to trigger the special effect.'' Leo muttered about the benefits brought by the changes in the [Talent Blessing Ability]. ''Ding, Chances left to bless the talents: 2. Note: A chance is added as a bonus from the system upgrade. ''I have two chances¡­shall I give it a try?'' Leo looked at the two lions that were sitting beside the third unconscious lion and silently thought in his head. ''Let''s see.'' Since the lions were supreme-ranked beasts and their synchronization was good, Leo guessed investing in them would be not a bad thing. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he decided to use and started thinking about which talent and skill he had to bless them with. ''Since the Lightning Lion has good speed and attack power but it is weak against the earth-type beings. So, it is good to give it a wind-type talent or skill.'' ''As for the Arctic Ice Lion, I know what to give.'' After making a decision, Leo walked closer to the Lightning Lion and Arctic Ice Lion. ''Ding, The host used the [Talent Blessing Abilitiy] and blessed the Lightning Lion with a skill [Zephyr Wind des]. ''Ding, The special effect of the [Talent Blessing Ability] has been triggered. The skill [Zephy Wind des] will be evolved into [Lightning Wind des]. ''Ding, The host used the [Talent Blessing Abilitiy] and blessed the Arctic Ice Lion with a skill [Fire and Earth Resistance]. ''Ding, The special effect of the [Talent Blessing Ability] has triggered, The skill [Fire and Earth Resistance] will be upgraded from level 1 to 7. Soon, Leo''s head was filled with a series of system notifications. ''Triggering the special effect back to back?'' Leo was pleasantly surprised that the effect triggered back to back. ''One skill evolution and six-level upgrade for the other one¡­excellent.'' No matter what level the talents or skills he had, when Leo blesses them to others, they would reset to level 1. So, a six-level upgrade was good because the Arctic Ice Lion now gained at least 30 percent resistance to the fire and earth attacks. It could somewhat ovee the elemental advantage and in the future, it doesn''t have to worry when its resistance to the fire and earth attacks increases to 80 or 90 or even 100 percent. ''It looks like today is my lucky day.'' When he thought about all the things he got today, Leo felt he was quite lucky and thought ''Should I give the [Lucky Buy] a try?'' Since Leo still has nine Fragments of the God Stones, he thought spending five of them was not a big deal; however, in the next second, he shook his head. ''I think I should better wait.'' Leo shook his head and controlled his urge. "Master, thanks for your valuable gift." Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard the two lions thanking him. "It''s alright! Since you have decided to follow me, you need to be powerful. I helped you a little and you have to keep on increasing your strength." Leo asked them to increase their strength by fighting the Hungry Abyssal Beasts in the [Treasure Land]. Even though killing the Hungry Abyssal Beasts won''t give any experience points, the participants can increase their battle experience. It would be more useful for the monsters and the beasts to increase their battle experience. "Yes, master." They nodded their heads; however, they were not in a hurry as they decided to wait for their brother to wake up. ''Ding, The host''s new system ability [Spirit Swallowing Ability] is awakened. After a few seconds, Leo received the system notification regarding his new ability and checked its information. ''So, there is a cooldown on this ability?'' It was stated that the cooldown of this ability ispletely rted to the spirit swallowed by Leo. "Please stop¡­stop. I will tell everything¡­everything." Suddenly, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard the leader begging in his nightmare. "Let''s see how much information I can get from him." **** Raymond_Tague, thanks for the DRAGON. **** Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 345 [Bonus Chapter] Talent Merging Ability - Mega Merge "What are the names of the secret organizations and where are their headquarters?" Looking at the half-buried middle-aged man, Leo asked without wasting any time. "I only know the names but I don''t know where their headquarters are located" Aftering out of the nightmare created by Leo, the middle-aged man gasped for air before answering Leo''s question. "The five secret organizations in this world are: 1) League of the Beast Masters, which mostly consists of the members that have the talents rting to the Beasts. The leader of the organization will help the beasts tamed by the members in evolution and mutation. 2) Order of the ck Tower, which runs the Supreme Markets and kidnaps the children to turn them into ves before selling them away. 3) Ghost Eagles are known for their wide range of information and are the most secretive even among the secret organizations. All their members are like Ghosts, who disappear in a blink. 4) Union of the True Eyes, they don''t have much strength; however, they excel in figuring out whether the other party was telling the truth or not. ording to the rumours, the leader of the organisation could see through the future. As for whether it was true or just a rumour, I don''t know. 5) Thest secret organization is called Wild Cmity. ording to my organization''s leader, their aim was to destroy all the cities and kill all the humans in this world. They believe that this world is filled with sinners and God is angry at us. By killing everyone, they believe God will stop sending the monsters into this world¡­a bunch of psychos. "Of course, this information might be wrong as I only heard about them." The middle-aged man informed Leo everything he knew about the secret organizations, making Leo get a rough understanding of the secret organization. ''Ghost Eagles and the Union of the True Eyes¡­I wonder whether they were good or evil.'' Among the five secret organizations, Leo already knew three of them were evil and he wondered about the two other secret organisations. ''What is there to wonder about them? The moment they tried to set up a trap for me with the other secret organization, they were an evil organization for me.'' Earlier, from the two low-level members of the ''League of the Beast Masters'', Leo learned about the trap set up by the secret organization in the Supreme Mountain City, Leo was furious. Therefore, Leo didn''t want to think much about it and decided to kill them if they continued toe in his way along with the other secret organization. "Also, do you know about the ve Marker?" Leo nodded his head and asked about the ve Marker. "ve Marker?" The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment before saying, "I don''t know much about it; however, I know that he is a high-level member of the ''Order of the ck Tower''. As for exactly how high his position was, I don''t know." ''As I expected, the ve Marker is in cahoots with the ''Order of the ck Tower''. One engraves the ve seals and the other sells.'' It was not a surprise for Leo as he already guessed it but Leo thought something else, ''I wonder whether the ''Order of the ck Tower'' knows about the hidden city and his ability to travel between worlds.'' Leo doubted the ''Order of the ck Tower'' knew anything about it. "Thanks for all your information. You can rest now." After squeezing all the information from the middle-aged man, Leo didn''t waste his time in killing him before extracting his talent. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for awakening a special talent [Unique Beast Tamer]. Earlier, Leo used the special effect from one of the Fragments of the God Stones that he spent to purchase the [Random Buy]. So, he extracted and swallowed the talent in no time and checked the information on the special talent. ''Ding, Talent Name: Unique Beast Tamer, (Level 1). Talent Type: Special / Rare Effect: 1) The user has a 50 percent chance of taming the beasts (Max). 2) There is a 10 percent chance of awakening one of the tamed beasts'' skills. Note: 1) The above chances are applicable for the beasts that have the same level as that of the talent. 2) As the number of tamed beasts under the user increases the chances of the two effects decrease. Compared to the [Beast Tamer], the [Unique Beast Tamer]''s effects were way better; however, it was not enough for Leo as he nned for a little experiment with all the [Beast Tamer] talents along with the [Unique Beast Tamer]. ''It''s a talent merging time.'' Leo checked his surroundings and seeing that there were no Abyssal Beasts or other participants, he focused on merging the same talents he awakened earlier. ''System, let''s merge two [Beast Tamer] talents.'' Without wasting any time, Leo ordered the system. ''Ding, The system detected more than three same types of talents. Unlocking a new effect in the [Talent Merging Ability]. ''Huh?'' The system didn''t give any time for Leo to think as it sent two system notifications. ''Ding, Even though [Unique Beast Tamer] is a special talent, it was just an advanced version of the [Beast Tamer]. So, it can be considered as simr talent and merged with the [Beast Tamer] talents. ''Ding, Mega Merge: The host can merge the same type of talent with a single thought. Do you want to merge five [Beast Tamer] talents? ''Yes.'' Even though it felt like a dream, Leo didn''t think much about it and nodded his head. ''Ding, Mega Merge is activated for the five [Beast Tamer] talents. Please wait for a few minutes. Note: During the mega merge, the sess rate of merging is 100 percent due to the effects of the talents beingpletely the same. ''I wonder what talent it will turn into. Will it be a Super Special Talent?'' Among the five talents, one talent was a rare special talent and the remaining four were rare normal talents. So, by merging them, Leo felt there was a chance of getting a super special talent. No¡­he was expecting to get another super special talent. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging a Super Special Talent [Goldly Beast Tamer]. *** This Bonus Chapter is for the ''Dragon'' Gift. Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 346 Godly Beast Tamer ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging a Super Special Talent [Goldly Beast Tamer]. ''It is really a Super Special Talent.'' Even though Leo was hoping for a super special talent, he was still shocked when he saw the system notification. ''Let''s check the benefits of this [Goldly Beast Tamer].'' Each super special talent Leo had was heaven-defying and of course, he would be curious about the special effect of the super special talent like [Godly Beast Tamer]. Moreover, from the name itself, the talent seemed so domineering and cool. ''Ding, Talent Name: Godly Beast Tamer (Mortal-Grade). Talent Type: Super Special. Effect: 1) Each beast desperately needs something and the user can hear that. Active Special Effect: The host can raise the potential of a normal beast to a legend grade. Cooldown: One year. Passive Special Effect: No beast will actively attack the user unless they are insane or controlled. Soon, theplete information about his new super special talent appeared in front of Leo, making reveal a big smile. ''At Mortal Grade, it already has three effects. I wonder how powerful it will be at supreme-grade and legend grade.'' Leo was looking forward to upgrading the [Goldy Beast Tamer] and silently thought, ''I need to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to see the upgrade requirements for the Super Special Talents.'' [Talent Promoter] and [Absolute Devour] are the two super special talents that Leo relied on a lot; however, [Asbolute Devour] was able to upgrade to the Supreme Grade thanks to his crazy devouring, Leo didn''t have much luck with the [Talent Promoter]. It had been struck at level 8 and it would take a lot of time to upgrade it into a supreme grade talent. ''I need some fortuitous encounter that could upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to supreme-grade.'' Leo silently muttered to himself; however, as of now, other than taking the manual route, there was nothing he could do about it. ''Anyway, I don''t think I can upgrade it to supreme grade before the world assessment. It is better to focus on increasing my strength along with my followers.'' Leo shook his head and checked the information on the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] before checking out his [Hero''s Interface]. ''Ding, Ability Name: Bloodline Swallowing Ability. Effect: The host can extract the Bloodline from the opponent he killed just like the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. Cooldown: One year. Note: The host can use the special effect of the Fragments of the God Stones to reduce or even reset the cooldown by three months per stone. ''So, it starts just like how the [Talent Swallowing Ability] started.'' Leo was not surprised with the cooldown of one year because it was the same for his [Talent Swallowing Abiltity]. ''Nevertheless, I can reduce the cooldown if there is really a bloodline I need.'' In this world, finding the bloodline was impossible and there were a few among his followers that would be awakening the bloodline. However, Leo was not cruel enough to steal from his own followers as he knew there would be a lot of powerful bloodlines in the future to devour him. Therefore, Leo didn''t feel a one-year cooldown was not a bid for as of now. Soon, Leo checked the short version of his [Hero''s Interface]. ''Ding, Host Name: Leo. Race: Human. Strength: Level 2 Supreme Hero Super Special Talents: 1) Talent Promoter (level 8). 2) Absolute Devour (Supreme). 3) Undead Summoner (Supreme ). 4) Godly Beast Tamer (Mortal).

''Six Supreme-grade talents and as long as I upgrade four more special talents to the supreme grade, I canplete the mission [Mighty Supreme].'' Leo checked the number of supreme-grade talents he have and selected which special talents he could upgrade in the shortest time possible. Soon, he found three special talents that could be upgraded instantly as long as he had special upgrade stones or advanced upgrade stones. ''I know my followers won''t be using all the advanced upgrade stones and the special upgrade stones from the [God Ruins] they explored.'' Leo knew his followers would not use the rewards from the [God Ruins] unless it was a life and death situation. So, he was confident in upgrading three special talents to supreme grade after returning to Golden Hawk City. ''I just need to focus on upgrading one more special talent.'' After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to spend the [Promote Points] to upgrade the [Metal Maniption] to peak level 9. However, he realized that he didn''t have enough [Promote Points]. Lately, Leo spent millions of [Promote Points] to upgrade all the talent and skills that he felt were important to level 9. However, the amount of iing [Promote Points] didn''t match the outgoing [Promote Points]. So, there was no wonder that Leo wascking the [Promote Points]. ''Damn it¡­I need to massacre to get the [Promote Points].'' Leo got millions of [Promote Points] in the Beas only because he was able to massacre Water Spiders, Terra Bulls, Metal-winged Vultures, Five types of Snake armies and even hundreds of ming Lions. So, Leo was itching to enter a world to umte more [Promote Points]. ''Wait a second¡­I have [Supreme Promote Points], right?'' Soon, Leo checked the number of [Supreme Promote Points] he had and there were a little more than 50000. ''I think I can still have hope.'' With a slight smile, Leo ordered the system, ''System, convert 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] into [Promote Points].'' ''Ding, The host now has 100 million [Promote Points]. 1 [Supreme Promote Point] = 10000 [Promote Points]. ''Now, upgrade the [Metal Maniption] to peak level 9.'' Leo could not upgrade a level 9 talent to the [Supreme Grade]; instead, he could only upgrade it to peak level 9. After that, he could check the upgrade requirements for the talent and by fulfilling them, he could sessfully upgrade them. ''Ding, 100 million [Promote Points] and 100 [Supreme Promote Points] are consumed. ''Ding, The host''s talent [Metal Maniption] is upgraded to peak level 9. Please check the upgrade requirements for the supreme grade. ''Now, Let''s check the upgrade requirements for the supreme-grade [Metal Maniption].'' Leo was already used to spending such huge [Promote Points]. So, he was not surprised much and decided to check the requirements. However, before he could check the upgrade requirements, Leo heard the remnant spirit say about the final stage. ''So, you are going all out now. I was waiting for you to make your move.'' Hearing the rules of the remnant spirit, Leo chuckled evilly as he looked at the participants that were appearing around him. *** Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 347 Final Stage Of The [Treasure Land] The remnant spirit''s voice resounded throughout the entire [Treasure Land] as he continued to exin the final stage to all the surviving participants in the [Treasure Land]. The remnant spirit didn''t stop his words as he added a few more things for the other participants, As soon as he finished his words, all the participants who didn''t know that Leo had already cleared all sections inside the [Treasure Room], were still farming for the treasure points and started disappearing from their locations. ''Swiish'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, they started to appear around Leo with confused looks; however, when their eyesnded on the masked figure, all the participants were shocked. ''What?'' ''Why is he here?'' ''How did the Talent Swallowing Hero appear in this [Treasure Land] all of a sudden.'' ''Wait a second¡­so that brat Leo is the Talent Swallowing Hero, no wonder, he was so powerful despite being very young.'' Soon, their shock turned into absolute fear while looking at Leo. Leo was already powerful enough to kill them with his battle prowess, not to mention, that he had the high-level supreme-grade weapon. In short, the remnant spirit sent them to their death. ''I was waiting for the remnant spirit to make a move; however, I didn''t expect him to go all out.'' Leo was a little surprised by the sudden announcement of the final stage of the [Treasure Land]; however, unlike the participants, Leo was excited as he could kill all the members of the secret organization inside the [Treasure Land] now. Currently, there were 50 participants left in the [Treasure Land] other than Leo. Among the 50 participants, five of them were his beast followers and a monster follower. In the remaining 45, there were 30 humans, 10 monsters and 5 beasts. ''In order to clear this [Treasure Land], I have to kill my followers. What a clever move from that b*stard.'' After hearing all the rules about the final stage, Leo could clearly guess what the remnant spirit wants from him. The remnant spirit wants Leo to activate the weapon skill to be the Abyssal Demon God''s temporary apostle again and it would be possible with the pressure At the same time, He wants his temporary apostle to be cruel enough to kill those who swore their loyalty to him. ''Does he really think I will kill my followers?'' Even though Leo could kill innocent people to avoid future trouble, he was not the type to kill those who swore their loyalty to him unless they betrayed him. As for leaving the [Treasure Land], Leo already thought of a n. ''Before I execute that n, let''s clear these participants.'' Even though the remnant spirit was still testing him whether he was a suitable candidate for his apostle, Leo was grateful to him for bringing all the participants at once ce. "Silvermoon Wolf, Infernal Dragonborn, Lightning Lion, Arctic Ice Lion and Goldrock Lion, let''s go." Leo kept an eye on his new followers while ordering them to join the battle with him. It was also a test for them to see whether they could fight the temptation and not betray him. ''If they show any signs of betrayal, I don''t mind killing them.'' With that thought in mind, Leo summoned the Abyssal Demon Sword and teleported in front of a group of monsters. ''sh'' With a casual strike, he killed three of them before teleporting to the next batch. ''Assess'' At the same time, Leo assessed the talent of the human participants to make their talents his. [Soul Search] [Eye of Truth] Surprisingly, he found interesting talents in the squad leaders of two secret organizations and decided to swallow them after killing them. ''sh'' ''sh'' Leo had already got the required information about the five secret organizations. So, he didn''t bother to interrogate them much. Currently, Leo''s focus was on getting those two talents as he killed the owners of those talents. ''ng'' ''Ding, The host''s talent [Soul Shield] is triggered and blocked by [Soul Bullet]. ''Huh?'' However, just as he was about to extract their talents using the [Talent Swallowing Ability], Leo received a system notification that made him look in the direction where the [Soul Bullet] hase from. ''[Soul Bullet], I can add it to my list.'' Leo didn''t have to think much as he decided to extract that [Soul Bullet] also to his talent list and instantly appeared behind that hero. "If you didn''t use that, I might have missed it. Thank you." After thanking him, Leo killed him. Time continued to pass and it only took two minutes for Leo and his new followers to kill the 45 participants around them. ¡­.. ''What the hell! Why did''t he activate the weapon skill?'' On the other hand, the remnant spirit was frustrated that Leo was not activating the weapon skill despite welding it. ''I have already spent half of my energy in creating thest stage. I have to make him my temporary apostle right in front of my eyes.'' The remnant spirit clenched his fists and after thinking for a moment, he announced, "What if I say no?" Leo was about to extract the three talents he had his eyes on when he heard the remnant spirit''s voice. However, he didn''t hesitate to directly reject the remnant spirit. Even though Leo activating the weapon skill was important, the remnant spirit wants Leo to kill his followers without any hesitation. ording to the Abyssal Demon God''s ideals, one had to be cruel and heartless to get greater power. So, he wanted his apostles to follow his ideals. "Okay then. I will just stay here forever." Leo shrugged his hand nonchntly and replied, "The [Treasure Land] provides me with pure energy for my cultivation. The longer I stay inside the [Treasure Land], the higher my cultivation will reach." <...> Hearing those words, the remnant spirit was speechless and nearly coughed blood. ''As I expected, he is desperate.'' Leo silentlyughed inside his heart and asked the remnant spirit, "Why don''t you appear before me? I will use that skill on you." The remnant spirit instantly appeared in front of Leo without any hesitation. ''He took the bait.'' *** Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 348 [Bonus Chapter] Leo Versus Remnant Spirit The reason why the remnant spirit didn''t hesitate to be Leo''s target was that it would not deal any damage to him. ''As long as he activated the weapon skill in front of me, I can track where the Apostle Seal is disappearing to.'' The remnant spirit was hoping that the Apostle Seal on Leo should not disappear after the activation. Even if it does, he could find out why it was disappearing. Previously, when he was recharging his energy, the remnant spirit thought a lot about it; however, he didn''t get a satisfactory answer for why the Apostle Seal on Leo disappeared without a trace. So, the remnant spirit wanted to see for himself whether the same thing as before happens or not. If that happens, he could have an easy time finding the reason behind it. ''Having a powerful apostle is good but if that apostle has so many secrets it is not a good thing. Anyway, once he bes my temporary apostle, I can take my own time finding all his secrets before making him a permanent apostle.'' The remnant spirit had his own nning as he asked Leo, ''He took the bait.'' On the other hand, Leo revealed an evil smile behind his blood-coloured mask and hurriedly activated his new system ability. [Spirit Swallowing Ability] ''Ding, The host activated the [Spirit Swallowing Ability]. Please choose the spirit you want to swallow. Along with the system notification, a pop-up notification appeared above the remnant spirit''s head. [Energy - 50 percent, Swallowing Sess Rate: 50 percent]. ''50 percent? I have to weaken it further.'' Just like how the pop-up notifications appeared for the [Seal Swallowing Abilitiy], the same type of pop-up notifications appeared, informing the sess rate. ording to the ability''s information, the weaker the spirit, the higher the sess rate. Therefore, Leo decided to weaken the remnant spirit even further before using the [Spirit Swallowing Ability]. From the distance, the remnant spirit was urging Leo to activate the weapon skill so that all his doubts would be cleared. "I hope I won''t kill you with it." Leo said those words and shouted out loud, [Abyssal Demon Sword - Abyss st] Leo activated the weapon skill to let the remnant spirit''s guard down and soon a ck-coloured mist spread around Leo and his followers. ''This brat thinks that he can kill me with Abyss st?'' Even though he was just a remnant spirit, the Abyssal Demon God was still a God-like entity. Moreover, it was a weapon skill that he was very familiar with. So, he was not worried too much about it. ''Ding, The special supreme seal has been engraved on the host''s body. Please remove it as soon as possible. ''[Seal Swallowing Ability]'' Just as the apostle seal appeared on his body, the system sent a notification to Leo, who in turn, activated the [Seal Swallowing Ability] to devour it. ''Damn it...what happened? I clearly saw the apostle seal appear on his body.'' As for the remnant spirit, he easily dodged the [Abyssal st] and entirely focused on Leo''s body. He saw the apostle seal appear and in less than a second, it disappeared right in front of his eyes. Without wasting any time, the remnant spirit locked the Abyssal Demon Sword again and the only way to unlock it was by using the weapon skill. So, he asked Leo to do it again. "Why?" However, Leo didn''t do it instantly, as he checked the information on the Abyssal Demon Sword and thought, ''As I expected, he locked it again. I wonder how much of his energy was consumed to do this.'' At the same time, he used the basic effect of the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] to check the energy spent by the remnant spirit. [Energy - 35 percent, Swallowing Sess Rate: 65 percent]. ''He used 15 percent of his energy in locking the Abyssal Demon Sword. I think I can use it one more time.'' Even though the sess rate reached 65 percent, Leo didn''t want to take any risk because the other party was not a regr entity. ''If I failed and let the remnant spirit escape from here, the Abyssal Demon God would know everything about me. I can''t let that happen.'' Currently, Leo was still a supreme rank hero and he could not even fight a legend rank hero, not to mention, a god entity. ''If the Abyssal Demon God decided to kill me, no one could stop him.'' With that thought in mind, Leo waited for the remnant spirit''s reply. The remnant spirit was so annoyed and he no longer bothered about his image in front of Leo. He wanted to find out what was happening to his Apostle Seal and the only way to find out about it was by repeating it. ''He is no longer hiding it.'' Leo''s followers standing behind Leo were scared when they saw the evil look on the remnant spirit''s face; however, Leo was calm and revealed a cold smile. "Okay then." Since he could swallow the apostle seal in less than a second, Leo didn''t have any problem in using it. ''Moreover, after devouring 100 special supreme ves, there will be some kind of upgrade in that ability. So, I can swallow it as many times as possible.'' Soon, Leo and the remnant spirit repeated the same set of actions two times, leaving the remnant spirit''s energy at five percent and his sess rate at 95 percent. ''It looks like I can finally swallow this b*stard.'' Leo decided to not waste any time and devour the remnant spirit. ''Something is definitely off about this brat. I think I have to use my final move.'' The remnant spirit on the other hand looked weak; however, his determination to find where his apostle seal was disappearing, hadn''t gone yet. Hence, he decided to use one final move that he didn''t wish to use. ''So, be it. I might die but the main body will know that there is a potential apostle in this world and during the world assessment, he will arrive firstpared to the other b*stards.'' With that thought in mind, the remnant spirit disappeared from his ce and appeared behind Leo. The remnant spirit''s eerie voice resounded beside Leo''s ears and it continued, The remnant spirit wrapped his arm around Leo''s neck and squeezed it while asking what he was hiding. "You...know....you...can''t...kill...me...inside....the...[Treasure Land]?" Leo didn''t expect that the remnant spirit would try to kill him so openly because the remnant spirits have their own set of rules and the main rule was not to kill the participants that enter the [Treasure Land]. Of course, they could use other participants to kill a particr participant but they could not kill the participants themselves. *** Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 349 Like Master, Like Sword The remnant spirits are the small part of a powerful entity''s spirit that was left behind in their [Treasure Lands] or the [God Ruins] to look after them. Even though they were part of their own spirit, those powerful entities fear that their remnant spirit gains their own consciousness by some external factors. Once that happens, they would try to return to the main body and slowly take control of the body while recing the main spirit. Therefore, those powerful entities leave behind a set of rules for the remnant spirits and one of those rules was not killing the participants entering the [Treasure Land]. The moment they kill the participants with their own hands, the remnant spirit also disappears into the void. Nevertheless, the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God was unable to control his urge to find out Leo''s secret on how he was able to make the special supreme-ranked apostle seal. Therefore, he decided to go to such lengths that could make his own body scatter into the thin air. The remnant spirit chuckled evilly as he informed Leo not to try anything funny. ''This b*stard is really careful.'' Leo cursed the remnant spirit in his head as he gritted his teeth. "I¡­will¡­tell¡­you." Leo felt a little difficult to breathe with the remnant spirit''s arm wrapped around his neck. It made him hard to think. Hence, Leo said he would reveal his secret. The remnant spirit was having a bad premonition from the time he appeared in front of Leo. Therefore, he didn''t give Leo any chance and asked him to reveal the secret first. ''I wanted to toy with him a little before swallowing him. I think I have to swallow now.'' Leo wanted to show the remnant spirit how he was going to let his Arcane Silver swallow the Abyssal Demon Sword. However, since the remnant spirit was aiming to kill him without any regard for a potential apostle, Leo decided to use his new system ability. [Spirit Swallowing Ability- Target Selection]. With a single thought, Leo activated his new system ability and the pop-up notification came out of the remnant spirit''s head. [Energy: 4 percent, Swallowing Sess Rate: 96 percent]. Of course, Leo was unable to see but he already knew the remnant spirit had only 5 percent energy. [Spirit Swallowing Ability - Swallow] Therefore, he didn''t hesitate in using the new system''s ability to swallow the remnant spirit. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Leo activated his [Spirit Swallowing Abilitiy], a huge transparent Golden-coloured Furnace materialized in front of him. There were no runes or symbols or anything. Other than its huge size and the shining golden colour, there was nothing special about it. The remnant spirit that was holding Leo felt a strong pulling force and before he could notice what was happening, he saw Leo rushing towards the Golden Furnace. The remnant spirit felt unimaginable pain along with a strong suction force that was pulling it into the golden furnace. "Didn''t you say you are ready to die?" The closer Leo went to the golden furnace, the tightened arm of the remnant spirit loosened more, making him speak freely. Leo scoffed at the remnant spirit and without wasting any time, Leo turned around. ''Swoosh'' The moment he turned around, the mouth of the furnace was so close to the remnant spirit. He was unable to hold onto Leo anymore as he got pulled into the transparent golden furnace. ''Ting'' As soon as the remnant spirit pulled into the furnace, a lid appeared in the thin air and covered it. ''Ding, The remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God is captured. Do you want to refine it? ''Ding, After refining the remnant spirit, you will be rewarded with a random thing belonging to the remnant spirit. Soon, two system notifications appeared in his head, making him a little surprised. ''So, this is how the [Spirit Swallowing Abiltiy].'' Even though he had read the information about his new system ability, it was his first time witnessing the actual working of the ability. So, Leo was a little surprised and thought, ''Should I refine him directly?'' Of course, Leo rejected that thought as he nned to toy with him for some time before refining. "Or else what?" Before the remnant spirit could finish his words, Leo mocked him and asked what he would do if he didn''t release him. <...> Hearing Leo''s mocking words, the remnant spirit remained silent as he finally came to his senses. Aftering to his senses, the remnant spirit started using his head and decided to tempt Leo with the high-level abyssal demon sword. For someone whose world was yet toplete its first world assessment, a high-level supreme grade sword would be an invaluable treasure. So, the remnant spirit decided to use it to trade for his life. Even though it was just a remnant spirit, it has almost all the traits of the main soul and the Abyssal Demon God''s main trait was to survive by any means. Even if he has to kill his follower or friend or even his own blood rtion, the Abyssal Demon God won''t hesitate to kill them as long as it guarantees his survival. "Are you talking about this weapon?" Soon, a ck-coloured sword appeared in front of Leo as he asked the remnant spirit with a slight smile. "But, I already have a weaponpanion." In the next second, a silver light shed in front of Leo as Arcane Silver appeared beside the Abyssal Demon God''s sword. [Arcane Silver''s weapon skill - Artifact Eater]. In front of the remnant spirit''s eyes, Arcane Silver swallowed the Abyssal Demon God''s sword with a mouth that appeared on its handle. "As the saying goes, two swords can''t fit in the same sheath and my sheath is already taken over by Arcane Silver." Leo looked at the remnant spirit with a slight smile while removing the blood mask. ''Ding, The host''s weapon Arcane Silver has devoured a high-level supreme-grade sword. ''Ding, Arcane Silver needs two weeks to digest the Abyssal Demon God''s sword. Until then, the host can''t use it. ''Two weeks? Now, it has raised my hopes to the next level.'' When he heard the system notifications Leo could not help but be hopeful because the more time it takes to digest, the greater the benefits would be. Hence, Leo was looking forward to it. The remnant spirit didn''t expect Leo to let a low-level supreme-grade weapon devour a high-level supreme-grade weapon. So, he looked at Leo with mixed emotions. ''Ding, Reminder: Please extract and swallow the talents within the next minutes; otherwise, the host will lose the Golden Time to use the [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy]. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 350 A Special Mission After killing his enemy, Leo had to extract the talent from the bodies within a specific time and if he missed that time, then he could not extract the talent. Earlier, he was eyeing three talents and the system reminded him about it who was so busy toying with the remnant spirit. ''Ipletely forget about it.'' Leo decided to swallow the talents before toying with the remnant spirit. Since he was already captured inside the Golden Furnace, Leo didn''t worry too much about it and hurriedly went to the bodies that had the talents he wanted. ''This b*stard¡­how dare he use the sword I blessed him as a meal for his sword.'' The remnant spirit started racking his brain toe up with a n to escape from the golden furnace. However, he was unable to control his anger whenever he thought of Leo''s actions of feeding the Abyssal Demon God''s Sword as a meal for the Arcane Silver Sword. Another trait of the Abyssal Demon God was Anger. Whether the insult was small or big, the Abyssal Demon God could only calm down after killing the person who insulted him. Therefore, the remnant spirit started bing restless as he eyed Leo with bloody eyes. ''Ding, The host used the [Talent Swallowing Ability] and extracted the talent [Soul Bullet]. ''Ding, . . . ''Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Soul Bullet]. ''Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Eye of the Truth]. ''Ding, The host awakened a new talent [Soul Search].

Effect: Upon activation, the user can tell whether the level 1 heroes, beasts and monsters are telling the truth for five minutes. Cooldown: One day. ''Ding, Talent Name: Soul Search (Level 1). Talent Type: Normal/ Spirit/ Rare. Effect: The user can search for a portion of memories from the level 1 heroes, beasts and monsters for five minutes. Cooldown: One day. At the same time, Leo checked the information on his three new talents. Since he had chosen them, Leo was obviously curious about the effects of the talents. ''Even though they were not great, I can use them in various situations.'' Leo already knew those talents were not very powerful and didn''t expect much from them; however, he knew where to use them and how to use them. ''Time to upgrade them.'' Without wasting time, he converted another 1000 [Supreme Points] into ten million [Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host spent 1313000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the talent [Soul Bullet] from level 1 to level 9. ''Ding, The host spent¡­ ''Ding, The host spent¡­ Since they were all normal talents, Leo had to spend 1.3 million [Promote Points] each and in total, he spent around 4 million [Promote Points]. ''Even though there were no special effects for these talents, their existing effects improved quite a bit along with their usage time.'' The special effects and additional effects were exclusively for the special talents. Hence, Leo was not expecting too much from it. Even though the normal talents might unlock some additional effects upon upgrading, it was very rare. ''After using these talent awakening crystals, my followers'' ability will rise even more.'' Looking at the five shiny crystals in his hand, Leo silently thought in his head. After swallowing the talents using the [Talent Swallowing Abilty], Leo devoured the remaining corpses using [Absolute Devour]. To his surprise, he triggered the [Absolute Devour''s] special effect five times and received five talent awakening crystals. ''Now, it is time to toy with the remnant spirit.'' After taking care of all the things, Leo walked towards the Golden Furnace in which the remnant spirit was trapped. When the remnant spirit saw Leo walk closer to the Golden Furnace, the remnant spirit shivered a little as it asked Leo. "Huh? What?" Leo frowned when he heard the remnant spirit''s words and thought, ''What is he speaking? Did he lose his mind after getting trapped in the Golden Furnace?'' ''Huh?'' Amidst his shivering, the remnant spirit suddenly startedughing maniacally, making Leo frown. As Leo heard the remnant spirit''s words, the frown on Leo''s face grew bigger. ''System, what is he talking about?'' Leo felt the remnant spirit had not gone crazy but telling something. So, he asked the system about it. Whether the remnant spirit was telling the truth or he was speaking just a bunch of words before his death, Leo thought he could tell it as long as he heard the system''s answer. Leo had already thought that the [Talent Swallowing System] was an inheritance of a powerful God-like existence; however, whenever he asked the system about it, it would evade his question. However, when he heard the remnant spirit''s words, he could tell his assumptions were almost right! Nevertheless, he wanted to hear it from the system or at least¡­he wanted to see what the system would say about the remnant spirit''s words. ''Ding, A new special system mission has been generated. ''Ding, Mission Name: Origins of the System. Mission Objective: Make the nameless human world pass the world assessment. Mission Reward: The system will answer any one question regarding three different topics. Additional Rewards: A random new system ability and a random new system feature. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 351 [Bonus Chapter] Coming Out Of The [Treasure Land] ''A special mission?'' The system didn''t answer his question or exin anything; instead, he issued a mission. ''So, I can ask you about your origins afterpleting the mission. Alright!'' Even though Leo didn''t want to be the apostle of the powerful entities, he might give it a thought if the [Talent Swallowing System] was really the inheritance of some powerful god. If not for the system, he would have been already dead while mining for the Hero''s Metals in the underground mines. Thanks to the system, not only did he be stronger, he was able to reunite with his family and could take revenge on the borrowed hands behind his parents'' death, leaving him with the mastermind. As long as he killed the ve Marker who was the mastermind, he couldplete his revenge. Therefore, Leo didn''t mind bing the apostle of the powerful entity that left the system as an inheritance in this world. ''Even if it makes me the target of the other gods, I have to face it for using the system all these years.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he looked at the remnant spirit. When he received the system, Leo already knew there would be consequences for taking the inheritance of the [God Ruins] because there is no such thing as called free lunch in the world. Moreover, Leo was not the type to forget the benefits he received from the system when he was nothing but an unawakened human. So, he felt it was finally time for him to repay the powerful entity that left behind the [Talent Swallowing System] in the [God Ruins] of this world. Of course, Leo still didn''t know what that powerful entity wanted, but he was sure that he would find out about it when hepleted the world assessment. ''As long as it doesn''t require me to kill my family, friends and followers, I don''t mind fulfilling that powerful entity''s requests.'' Leo silently thought in his head and asked the remnant spirit, "Who is that powerful entity and why would I be targeted by the other gods if they knew I am the apostle of that entity?" Even though the system was notmenting or answering anything, Leo wanted to know about the powerful entity and what he did to bring the wrath of all the other gods. The remnant spirit chuckled as he didn''t wait for Leo''s reply and continued, Of course, the remnant spirit was not a kindred spirit to give all the information to Leo just because he asked. So, he tried to make a deal with Leo. "Nevermind, I know how to get answers to my questions." Leo shook his head and activated his ability. [Spirit Swallowing Ability - Refine] As soon as he activated it, the mysterious runes started appearing on the golden furnace and at the same time, it started shining even more brightly. Since the Abyssal Demon God won''t answer his questions without getting freed from the Golden Furnace and even if Leo releases him, there is no guarantee that the remnant spirit would answer. Moreover, the remnant spirit would easily escape after Leo released him from the Golden Furnace and there was nothing Leo could do because a remnant spirit was basically a God inside the [Treasure Land] with conditions applied. Even if the remnant spirit can''t kill Leo, the same would be applicable to Leo. Therefore, he didn''t want to take any risks because the remnant spirit knew about the creator of the system. The remnant spirit started shouting in pain; however, it was useless because even Leo didn''t have the ability to stop once the refining started. "Since you said I will be hunted if the other gods knew about me, then it is more than enough reason to kill you." Leo didn''t want the remnant spirit to return to the main body because the real Abyssal Demon God would learn everything about him and if he personally makes a move, it would be difficult for him to escape. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the golden furnace minimized and entered his body. ''Ding, The refinement of the spirit will bepleted in two weeks. ''Ding, Since the host is refining a remnant spirit of a Gold-level entity, the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] is one year. At the same time, two system notifications rang in Leo''s head exining about the refining time and the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability]. ''I wonder what kind of things I will get after refining the remnant spirit.'' Leo was not surprised with the cooldown for the [Spiri Swallowing Ability]; however, he was curious about the rewards from reining the remnant spirit. Even though it was only a remnant spirit, it was still a part of the powerful entity. So, even if he gets the least valuable thing from the Abyssal Demon God, it would be very valuable for him. ''Ding, Without the disappearance of the remnant spirit, the [Treasure Land] will notst for long. Please retrieve all the treasures from the [Treasure Room] and exit the [Treasure Land]. Just as Leo thought of taking a small break, he received the system notification. ''I will take the break after leaving the [Treasure Land].'' Even if the system didn''t mention retrieving the treasures, Leo would have not forgotten about it. The treasure lying in the [Treasure Room] was a high-level one because it was stored in the [Diamond Section]. ''Enter'' Even though there was no remnant spirit, the [Treasure Land] still worked by default and all the additional changes by the remnant spirit would reset. Since Leo had nearly 50 million treasure points, he easily got ess to the [Diamond Section]. Surprisingly, it only costs 10 million treasure points and Leo spent them and bought the item from the [Treasure Land] before exiting the [Treasure Room] and then [Treasure Land]. ... Outside the [Treasure Land], "This trip to the [Treasure Land] is much more rewarding than I thought." Leo heaved a sigh of relief upon exiting the [Treasure Land] and excitedly said it. Before Leo entered the [Treasure Room] to pick thest item, he asked Silvermoon Wolf and other followers to leave the [Treasure Land]. "Yeah...I was hoping that too." Suddenly, Leo heard a voice and saw two young men in the distance as one of the young men continued, "Now, give me everything you have and I will let you go." ''Huh?'' Leo frowned when he heard the words of the arrogant young man; however, he was surprised when he saw a second young man. "Shawn?" That''s right! Leo knew one of the young men and asked with a doubtful look on his face. "Boss, it''s been a long time." At the same time, Shawn also recognised Leo and with an excited smile, he rushed towards Leo. "Brat¡­you know that b*stard?" However, the Dragon Summoning Hero stopped Shawn in his tracks and asked. "Who are you calling¡­b*stard?" ? In the next second, a ck aura released from Shawn''s body as he angrily looked at the Dragon Summoning Hero. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 352 Talent Swallowing Hero Vs Dragon Summoning Hero (1) A few years back, In a secret cave, "Shawn, are you sure you will be alright on your own? I know you awakened two talents in a single go but still¡­you are just a level 1 hero." "Yes, Shawn. Why don''t you stay together with us? Your talents are not useful for battle and they even progress very slowly." "That''s right! Even though Leo is just a level 3 hero, we already knew what he was capable of. Without any talent, he killed the ves Supervisor and all the guards. With his talent, we can be powerful and create a safe ce for others like us to stay in." A group of young men around 17-18 years were trying to convince 17-year-old Shawn to stay with them. The group of young men were none other than Dominic, Daniel and a few other friends and followers of Leo. From the back, 18-year-old Leo looked at Shawn and activated his system''s basic feature [Hero Assessment]. ''Ding, [Hero Assessment]. Name: Shawn. Age: 17 Race: Human. Talents: 1) Rare Item Halo (level 1): A talent that can help the user in finding rare items within 100 meters of his radius. 2) Unknown (Unknown): Unknown. Note: The host''s level and the system''s level are too low. Please upgrade it. ''Sigh¡­what is that second talent? Even with the system, I can''t find out.'' Leo sighed because it was the first time that he failed to see someone''s information whose rank was lower than his. It''s been only a couple of months since Leo received the system and freed the other ves like him by killing the Supervisor and the guards of the underground mines. So, Leo was unable to figure out Shawn''s second talent. ''Since I don''t know how to upgrade the system yet, I will just focus on upgrading my strength.'' Leo silently thought in his head and decided to stop Shawn from leaving the group. Even though Leo and others were not rted by blood, they have known each other for 5-6 years and in a ce like underground mines, their bond grew thicker and thicker with each passing day and helped each other in the harsh environment. He also knew that Shawn was an orphan and didn''t have a ce to return to. Therefore, he decided to stop him from leaving the group which was the new family they created for themselves over the years. "Even though I want to stay with Brother Leo and you guys, I think the reason why we always experience life and death situations was because of my newly awakened talent." Before Leo could say something, he was stopped in his tracks when he heard Shawn''s words. "I am not 100 percent sure about it but I knew it was definitely rted to my newly awakened talent. So, I think, it is better for me to live on my own as I don''t want you guys to die because of my talent." It was not a decision that was taken on a whim, Shawn made that decision with much difficulty after thinking a lot. "What are you talking about? How can you say that we will die because of your talent? No¡­.." "Dominic, don''t say anything. I will find you when I know about my newly awakened talent. At that time, I hope you will wee me." With a bitter smile, Shawn interrupted Dominic''s words as he looked at Leo as though he was waiting for his permission to leave the group. "I can tell that you will leave regardless of what I say. So, I will tell you only one thing, ''Survive¡­survive no matter what. " Leo said those words with a stern face, not showing any emotions on his face. "Of course, I will survive no matter what because I still haven''t repaid you for giving me a new life." With a bright smile on his face, Shawn left the secret cave and disappeared into the darkness of the night. "Boss, why don''t you stop¡­" "I think it was because of yesterday''s incident where I nearly lost my life along with a dozen of our brothers. Do you think he would stay just because I asked him to stay?" Before Dominic and others could say anything, Leo replied to them and shook his head. "With Shawn''s intelligence and surviving methods, he won''t have a problem surviving in this world. So, let''s focus on our training. We need to be advanced heroes as soon as possible." ... Present Time ''Huh? Did he forget I am his master now?'' The Dragon Summoning Hero frowned when he saw the angry look on Shawn''s body. "Ghost, your ve is trying to retort already. Why don''t you teach him how to be a loyal ve?" ''Swoosh'' The Dragon Summoning Hero didn''t think much about Shawn because no matter how angry a level 7 hero bes, he can''t even leave a single scratch on him. So, he casually threw Shawn asides and asked the Ghost Dragon to make Shawn suffer in pain but not kill him. Since Shawn has a special talent [Treasure Halo] which could find the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] along with other treasures, the Dragon Summoning Hero needs him alive. "Yes, master." The Ghost Dragon nodded its huge head and focused its gaze on Shawn. "Aargh" Soon, Shawn groaned in pain; however, it only made the ck mist that was slowly released by his body faster. "It looks like you are the friend of my ve." On the other hand, the Dragon Summoning Hero didn''t bother to look at Shawn as he looked at Leo and spoke, "Since you can retrieve the treasures from the [Treasure Land], then it must mean you have enough strength." "As long as you give me your treasures, I don''t mind taking you as my¡­." [Spatial Maniption - Teleportation] [Battle axe mastery] [War God''s Battle Axe''s weapon skill- Titan Strike] However, Leo didn''t bother to hear anything that the Dragon Summoning Hero was telling; instead, he disappeared from his ce and reappeared above the Ghost Dragon with a huge battle axe in his hand. "Huh?" Before the Dragon Summoning Hero could realize what was happening, he heard a painful dragon roar followed by a ''Thud''. *** Raymond_Tague, thanks for the Magic Castle. As promised, three Bonus Chapters will be released as soon as possible. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 353 Talent Swallowing Hero Vs Dragon Summoning Hero (2) ''Ding, The host killed a Level 1 Ghost Dragon and gained 1 [Supreme Promote Point]. ''Ding, The host''s Legend-grade artifact''s effect has been triggered. ''Ding, The potential of the [Battle Axe Mastery] has increased by 10 percent. ''Ding, The host''s talent [Battle Axe Mastery]''s potential reached 100 / 100. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo''s head; however, he didn''t bother to check them; instead, he went to check on Shawn. "Shawn, are you alright?" "H-ha. It''s just like the first time we met." With a slight smile on his face, Shawn replied, "I finally learned about my second talent and how to control it." "Let''s talk after I take care of him." Leo stopped Shawn from speaking as he looked at the Dragon Summoning Hero with a cold look on his face. ''What?'' On the other hand, the Dragon Summoning Hero looked at the corpse of his Ghost Dragon with a shocked look on his face. "How dare you kill my Dragon?" In the next second, powerful energy released from his body as five huge dragons appeared before him. The five dragons are namely: Azure Wind Dragon, ck Fire Dragon, Twin-headed Poison Dragon, Shadow Dragon, and Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. The minimum height of these dragons was 10 meters and the maximum height was 100 meters. "Roar" The moment they were summoned, all five dragons roared at the sky before looking at Leo''s followers. Except for the Shadow Dragon and the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon, the remaining three dragons were at level 1 supreme rank. As for those two dragons, they were at level 3 supreme rank. ''What?'' Leo was focused too much on Shawn that he forgot to check the information on the Dragon Summoning Hero. So, he was shocked to see when his opponent summoned five supreme-ranked dragons out of nowhere. ''What''s more, I have already killed one supreme-ranked dragon. Where did he get so many dragons?'' In this world, even though Leo had not explored all locations, he was sure that there were no true dragons. However, when he saw that his opponent had tamed six true dragons, Leo felt a bad premonition in his heart. ''Let''s get his information first beforeing up with a n to take him down.'' Even though the other side looked powerful with five supreme-ranked dragons, Leo was not weaker and he could summon his own undead army that consists of around 20 supreme-ranked beings. Of course, those supreme-ranked undead beings could not bepared to a true dragon that was known to have unparalleled battle prowess. Nevertheless, Leo had his own ns on taking down his opponent. ''If things don''t go as I nned, I will just escape with Shawn.'' Leo was not embarrassed to escape when he realised that his opponent was very strong. So, he silently kept that note in his head and opened the information on the Dragon Summoning Hero to check. "Since you killed my Dragon, I am going to kill you and all your beasts." However, the Dragon Summoning Hero didn''t want to give any time for Leo as the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon lunged at him. As for the remaining four dragons, they started attacking the Silvermoon Wolf and other beasts. "I don''t think so." Since a huge dragon wasing toward him, Leo didn''t have any time to check the information on the Dragon Summoning Hero as he directly entered the battle mode. [Undead Summoner - Raise my army] ''Rumble'' Before the Golden Armoured Dragon''s attack reached him, twenty supreme-ranked undead beasts and monsters rose from the ground. Even though Leo could summon hundreds of low-level undead, he didn''t bother to summon them as they could not stand a chance against the Giant Dragon. So, he summoned only the undead beings that have the strength of supreme rank. "Huh? An Undead Summoner?" The Dragon Summoning Hero raised his brows for a moment and startedughing, "Your undead beings won''t stand a chance against my dragons." In front of Dragons, even the living beasts with the same rank as the dragons won''t stand a chance, not to mention, that the undead beasts were even weaker. ''Other than the unlimited stamina, there was nothing great about the Undead Beasts.'' The Dragon Summoning Hero silently thought in his head as he ordered his Giant Dragon, "Finish all the undead beasts right in front of that b*stard''s eyes and then kill him slowly." The Dragon Summoning Hero was arrogant and vengeful. So, he wanted to let Leo see how weak he was and make him regret killing one of his dragons. For him, losing a single dragon was not a big deal as he could summon another one when his talentes out of the cooldown. However, by killing the Ghost Dragon, Leo had sessfully triggered his ego and he wanted to kill him slowly. "Do you think you can kill me?" Leo scoffed at the Dragon Summoning Hero and asked before teleporting himself to the corpse of the Ghost Dragon. "Thank you for summoning so many dragons for me. Today, I am going to turn them all into my undead beasts¡­Hehe." Leo chuckled as he ced his hand on the corpse of the Ghost Dragon and activated his talent, [Undead Summoner - Raise My Dear Dragon] "Don''t you dare do that to my Dragon?" Suddenly, the Dragon Summoning Hero realized what Leo was nning to do to the corpse of the Ghost Dragon; however, before he could do anything, Leo had already activated his talent. "What the hell are you doing? Clear all these undead beasts and kill that b*stard." The Dragon Summoning Hero was unable to keep his calm when he saw Leo''s actions and hurriedly shouted at his Giant Dragon. ''Roar'' Soon, the Ghost Dragon stood up from the ground and roared at the sky. ''Master, you need to remain calm. He is just an undead summoner¡­and you the mighty Dragon Summoner. It''s an easy win.'' The Giant Dragon used its powerful attacks to destroy more than 5 undead beasts and silently transmitted its voice to the Dragon Summoning Hero. ''That''s right! Why am I getting worked up for a small issue?'' With the Giant Dragon''s reminder, the Dragon Summoning Hero was able to calm himself as he revealed a slight smile on his face. The Giant Golden Armoured Dragon was not only his strongest dragon but it was also his mood controller. Whenever he lost control, the Giant Dragon would help him calm down. ''Even though he turned the Ghost Dragon into an Undead Dragon, it is still just a pile of bones.'' After calming himself down, Morgan looked at the Undead Ghost Dragon and shook his head. Morgan looked at his five dragons for a moment. The Giant Golden Dragon was fighting the supreme-ranked undead beast without any problems. The Shadow Dragon was taking care of Goldrock Lion and Arctic Ice Dragon. The remaining three Dragons were fighting Lightning Lion, Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn. "It looks like all my Dragons are busy. I think I have to take care of you by myself." [Azure Wind Steps] [Golden Dragon Armour] [Poison Dagger] As soon as he finished his words, Morgan rushed at Leo and the Undead Ghost Dragon by activating all his skills in a single go. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 354 [Bonus Chapter] Dragon Gods Blessing [Bonus chapters for Magic Castle (1/3)] The Dragon Summoning Hero could not only summon the Dragons using his talent [Dragon Summoner] but every time he summoned a dragon, he would get one random skill from the summoned dragon. So far, Leo was able to sessfully summon six dragons and therefore, he has six different skills. For some reason, he felt Leo was not an average opponent because he was able to take down his Ghost Dragon in a single strike. Therefore, he decided to use all his skills in a single go. [Earth Maniption - Earth Walls] Morgan was so fast that Leo could only see the after images left behind by him. Therefore, he raised four earth walls around him. "It can''t block me, the Dragon Summoning Hero." [Ghost Form] Morgan''s body became transparent for a moment as he easily passed through one of the earth walls. ''Huh?'' However, there were no traces of Leo or the Undead Ghost Dragon, making Morgan frown. "Are you looking for me?" [Soul Bullet] Leo was standing on one of the earth walls as he used his recently swallowed talent [Soul Bullet]. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a shiny transparent bullet shot at Morgan at an incredible speed. Even though his talent [Soul Bullet] was only at level 9, it would be able to injure even the souls of the supreme-ranked beings. Those with weak souls could even die from it. Since the Dragon Summoning Hero was more aggressive and powerful than he thought, Leo wanted to use the [Soul Bullet] which would ignore all the physical defences of his target. ''ng'' However, a golden barrier appeared around Morgan that blocked Leo''s soul bullet ''Ding, The soul of the host''s target is protected by the Dragon God''s blessing. ''Huh?'' Leo frowned when he saw the sudden system notification and hurriedly asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host''s target is the temporary apostle of the Dragon God and as a result, he received a blessing [Dragon God''s Soul Protection]. ''Ding, With that blessing, even the peak supreme-grade soul attacks won''t harm him. ''What the¡­'' Leo already got a rough understanding of the temporary apostle and permanent apostle inside the [Treasure Land] and he didn''t expect to encounter a temporary apostle of the Dragon God the moment he came out of the [Treasure Land]. "What happened? Your sneak attacks won''t work on me¡­Haha." Morganughed out loud as he activated another skill [Ghost Dragon Wings]. In the next second, two huge ck-coloured transparent wings appeared on his back as he flew towards Leo with his two poison daggers. ''Swoosh'' However, it was a piece of cake for Leo to dodge the iing attack thanks to his [Super Vision] and passive boosts from his talents, skills and cultivation. After dodging the attack, Leo finally checked the information on Morgan. ''Ding, [Hero Assessment] Name: Morgan (Dragon Summoning Hero). Talent: [Dragon Summoner] (Super Special Talent). Strength: Level 2 Supreme Rank Hero. Sponsored God: Dragon Soul (Temporary). Blessing: 1) Dragon God''s Soul Protection. Bloodline: Ancient Dragon God''s Bloodline. Cultivation: Level 1 Supreme Dragon Cultivator. ''This b*stard is powerful. I wonder whether I can turn him into an Undead Summon with sentience?'' Looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Leo thought of turning Morgan into an Undead Being. Initially, Leo thought of turning the dragons into Undead Dragons with sentience. Once the undead dragons gain sentience, they could be as strong as the living dragons. However, when Leo thought that he would end up giving six slots to the six undead dragons he felt it would be better to turn the Dragon Summoning Hero into the undead being with sentience. ''Wait a second¡­I should think more about it. I will just think after killing this b*stard.'' Suddenly, Leo thought of something and decided to think more about it after killing the Dragon Summoning Hero. If only he didn''t turn Shawn into a ve, Leo might have thought of letting Morgan live and turn him into a follower; however, after witnessing how he treated Shawn using the Ghost Dragon, Leo didn''t even think of letting Morgan live from this ce today. "B*stard¡­stop dodging and face like a real man." Morgan was getting annoyed when Leo kept dodging his attacks and shouted at him in anger. ''Swoosh'' "Stopining like a p*ssy. This is not a game orpetition." As soon as Morgan shouted, Leo appeared behind him and without wasting any time, he used his recently upgraded supreme talent. [Mighty Combustion - Directional st] A fireball around the size of a fist condensed between Leo and Morgan before sting Morgan into a few kilometers. "What''s taking you so long?" Leo looked at the fight between the dragons and his new followers and asked them to kill the dragons. Even though his beast followers were fighting the dragons, they were able to maintain their footing against them. However, dragons have more stamina and energy. So, if his beast followers want to win the fight with the dragons, they should not drag on the fight for long. "Roar" Understanding the words of their master, the three lions, wolf and Dragonborn roared as they activated their powerful skills and went all out against the dragons. ''Ding, A new choice-type mission has been generated. Please check it and select one of the quests you want to do. Suddenly, the system generated a new mission which Leo checked while thinking, ''These days the system is generating missions back to back.'' ''Moreover, it''s a choice-type mission. I will pick the mission that gives the huge reward.'' Just a few minutes back, he received a huge mission inside the [Treasure Land] and now he received another system notification. The true objective of the missions was to get the rewards. Therefore, Leo had a clear idea of which type of mission he should choose. ''Ding, Mission Name: Dragon yer. 1) Objective: Kill five dragons without support from your followers. Mission reward: [Title: Dragon yer]. 2) Objective: Kill five dragons with the support of your followers. Mission reward: One Billion Hero Coins + One million Supreme Hero Coins Time Limit: None. Penalty: None ''Ding, The host can pick only one objective. Soon, the system showed the mission details, asking him to select one objective. ''Huh? A solo objective and a group objective.'' Leo looked at the minor injuries on the dragons that were made by his beast followers and silently thought, ''The dragons already have minor injuries. So, I can''t choose the first objective, right?'' ''Ding, Yes. The dragons should have no injuries from the host''s followers; however, the mission has no time limit. ''Ding, So, if he chose the first objective, then he could kill five dragons slowly in the future. The system always answers his questions as long as it has nothing to do with its origins or the gods. So, Leo nodded his head at the system exnation as he knew which objective he should pick now. "Damn you¡­B*stard. I am going to kill you." Just as Leo was checking the mission details and making his decision, he heard the angry shout of the Dragon Summoning Hero from a distance. "[Ancient Dragon God''s Bloodline], activate." Without any hesitation, Morgan activated his bloodline. ''Ding, Your fight has piqued the interest of the Unknown God. ''Ding, He is teleporting you and your opponent to an unknown ce. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, both Morgan and Leo disappeared from their ces leaving behind a group of dragons and beast followers. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 355 [Bonus Chapter] Heavenly Arena [Bonus Chapters for the Magic Castle (2/3)] ''What?'' Leo was shocked when he suddenly heard the system notifications from his new system feature [Thoughts of the Gods]. However, there was nothing Leo could do as his body disappeared from his ce. ''Huh?'' Unlike Leo, Morgan waspletely clueless regarding why his body suddenly froze and before he could even think about it, his body also disappeared from the world. ... In an unknown ce, By the time they opened their eyes, both Leo and Morgan were standing in a barrennd and as far as their eyes could see, there was nothing but the barren ground. "What did you do? Where did you bring me?" Morgan looked at Leo and angrily asked him with a frown. ''Where is this ce? What does God want?'' However, Leo didn''t bother to answer Morgan as he silently thought about the God that teleported them here. "B*stard! Are you deaf or what? Can''t you hear me?" Morgan became furious when he saw Leo was ignoring him and wanted to attack him; however, before he could attack, a bright light shed in the sky before a shiny orb appeared in front of them. A voice came from the shiny orb, making Leo frown because he recognized this voice. ''It is the Ancient voice that can open the portal in the world. What the hell does he want now?'' That''s right! It was the voice belonging to the beings that could open the portals and host the world assessments for the worlds. From what Leo learned so far about this ancient being, he didn''t want the humans to pass the world assessment and as for this reason, Leo still doesn''t know. Hence, when he heard the familiar ancient voice, Leo felt nothing good woulde out ofing here. Since both Leo and Morgan were humans, the Ancient voice didn''t want them to be much stronger. So, Leo worried about what he was nning by teleporting them to this barren ground. "You are the one who rewarded me with a couple of world tickets when I established my Dragon City, right?" On the other hand, Morgan asked the shiny orb with an exciting look and continued to speak, "Why don''t you give me the world tickets to the grade 2 and grade 3 worlds?" The voice from the shiny orb replied, "What do we have to do to get that reward? Is it risky?" Leo asked the Ancient Voice with a calm look. Even though he hates the ancient voice, there was nothing he could do about it because the other party was a God whereas he was just a mortal¡­sorry¡­Supreme Hero. The ancient voice continued, ''Huh?'' "Interesting" Leo frowned, whereas the Dragon Summoning Hero became excited as he looked at Leo with an evil smile and asked "What should we do?" "I am ready." Before the ancient voice could finish his words, the Dragon Summoning Hero was excited and agreed to fight Leo. Seeing that Morgan was about to start the fight, the shiny orb stopped him and asked both of them to rest. Of course, he didn''t forget to tempt Morgan and Leo with rewards. ''Fair? What a joke?'' Leo scoffed in his head at the Ancient Being''s words; however, he didn''t say anything because he knew the quote ''Weak don''t have the right to say in things''. "But I am already an apostle of the Dragon God." On the other hand, Morgan was proud when he said that as he asked, "Will other gods pick me as their apostle?" Even though Morgan was proud of being the apostle of the dragon god, he was worried that some random god would take a liking to Leo and give him his blessing during the fight. When he thought about it, Morgan felt he was at a disadvantage if no god picks him as their apostle. How could the Ancient Being not know about Morgan being the temporary apostle of the Dragon God? His interest got piqued because of him in the first ce. So, he exined and informed everything about the benefits of being a temporary apostle. "It''s alright! I know what you are trying to say." Leo stopped the Ancient being from giving the example as he already understood what he was trying to say. As soon as he finished his words, the Ancient voice disappeared from the Barren Land. "Enjoy yourst couple of hours." After hearing that he had more advantages than Leo, Morgan became even more arrogant as he scoffed at Leo before finding a good ce to rest. ''I will make sure he regrets killing my dragon and at the same time, I must get as many gods as my sponsors. This is the fortuitous encounter I am waiting for.'' After experiencing the benefits of bing the Dragon God''s apostle, Morgan was more excited to get as many sponsors as possible. If he missed this opportunity, he didn''t know when he would get such an opportunity again. Hence, Morgan wanted to impress the gods with his skills. ¡­ ''So that b*stard is from a different world like Arlo.'' Leo learned something new about Morgan from the Ancient being''s words and thought, ''No wonder, he had the cultivation. His entire body is full of treasures for me but it is a pity¡­I can''t use the system abilities in front of the gods.'' Unlike Morgan, who wanted to impress the gods, Leo was sighing that he could not devour Morgan anymore. ¡­.. In some unknown realm, [Fight between the two supreme-ranked humans] [Venue: Heavenly Arena] [Entry Fee: One unit of God Essence] . . After disappearing from the barrennd the Ancient Being sent the information about the fight between Leo and Morgan to the gods that are looking for potential apostles. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 356 [Bonus Chapter] Ancient Beings Cunning Plan [Bonus Chapters for the Magic Castle (3/3)] ***** [Fight between the two supreme-ranked humans] [Venue: Heavenly Arena] [Entry Fee: One unit of God Essence] [Fighters: Dragon God''s temporary apostle and Unknown God''s temporary apsotle] . . . [Match Starts in two hours] The information the Ancient Being sent to the host was very detailed and it was tempting enough for the gods that were looking for their apostle. For gods, they could not enter the world due to many restrictions and if they want to enter they have to use some valuable treasure which costs so many units of the God Essence. Which god would spend so much of God Essence to enter the low-level worlds? However, there would be some unpolished gems in these low-level worlds that could be their apostles and by sponsoring them from a very early stage, the gods would get the absolute trust of those apostles. Moreover, to watch the fight in the Heavenly Arena, they have to spend only one unit of the God Essence which they didn''t mind spending. Therefore, the Ancient Being used that logic to make some God Essence. ''Not only I don''t get any penalties for the death of the human in the Heavenly Arena, I can even make some extra God Essence.'' The Ancient Being that was covered in the ck mist chuckled to himself as he started promoting the fight to as many gods as possible. The true goal of hosting the fight was not for collecting the God Essence; instead, it was to eliminate one of the two humans. From what he had seen so far, the Ancient Being felt that Leo and Morgan had grown so powerful while he was looking at the other worlds. What''s more, they even be the temporary apostles of the Dragon God and some unknown god. ''I don''t know which god''s apostle that brat became but since he was able to hide it even from me, then it must be a high-level god.'' From time to time the Ancient Being looked at Leo and muttered, ''It''s like¡­he didn''t have any apostle seal on his body. If he is not an apostle of a high-level god, then how did he get so many talents and skills?'' Originally, the Ancient being didn''t sense any apostle seal from Leo''s body; however, he watched Leo use multiple talents and skills. Therefore, he came to the conclusion that Leo was also a temporary apostle of some unknown high-level god. ''Anyway, the sponsors won''t bother too much even if their temporary apostles get killed by the other temporary apostles because they don''t want the weak. They want a beast among the best.'' The Ancient Being was not worried about getting the ire of the Dragon God or the unknown high-level god as he resumed his duties. .... [Huh? A fight between the humans from the gradeless world?] [They already be the temporary apostles?] [What? Dragon God''s temporary apostle and the second one might be the apostle of a high-level god?] [I am going to watch it] [It''s been a while since I took some temporary apostles. Let''s take a look as well] [I am bored as hell¡­what? A match between the supreme-ranked warriors? Let''s go] [When will the next Ascension Battle take ce? It''s been nearly a century. Anyway, let''s get some entertainment with this lowly warriors battle. I hope it will be one percent as interesting as the Ascension Battle]. . . . Soon, the gods who received the information released by the Ancient Being started buying the watching rights to the fight in the Heavenly Arena. [Hey¡­that b*stard doesn''t like humans, right? Why is he hosting a fight for them and inviting all the gods? The participants will be more powerful after leaving the Heavenly Fighting Arena. Did he change during my recent seclusion?] [I still don''t know how someone like you ascended to the God realm. He must be nning to kill one of the participants openly without getting any penalties. By doing so, the gradeless world''s chances will decrease] [But the other human will be more powerful, right?] [So what? During the world assessment, that b*stard might even go down himself and fight one who survives in the Heavenly Fighting Arena] [What a cruel b*stard!] Some gods who formed an alliance discussed about the Ancient Being and his methods to prevent the worlds from passing the world assessment. ...¡­ In the Heavenly Fighting Arena, ''Wait a second¡­system, did that Ancient being see me extract the talents from the humans?'' Suddenly, Leo thought about something and hurriedly asked the system about it. ording to the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God, he would be hunted if the other gods found out about his ability which connects him with someone that all the gods hate. Therefore, he hurriedly asked the system about it. ''Ding, If that Unknown God knew about that, he would have already killed you by now. ''Ding, From now on, the system will activate a barrier to prevent the Gods from watching you when you use the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. ''You can do that?'' Leo was surprised and heaved a sigh of relief about the problem that he was worried about for a while now. ''Ding, However, I suggest the host not use that ability when so many gods are watching you as they might use some unique techniques or their Godly abilities to see through the barrier. ''Okay. I will be careful.'' Leo silently agreed with the system. With the help of the system feature [Thoughts of the Gods], Leo could see how many gods were watching him. So, he knew when he had to use the [Talent Swallowing Ability] and when to not use it. ''Ding, The system is still waiting for the host to select the mission he wants toplete. Once, he heaved a sigh of relief, the system reminded him of the choice-type mission and asked him to select his choice. "Which one should I pick?" If they didn''t get teleported to the barrennd, Leo would have selected the second option where he had to kill five dragons with his followers. However, since they were teleported to this barrennd and even given some time to recover their energies, Leo wondered whether Morgan could summon the dragons that were not teleported with them. ''ording to what that Ancient B*stard said, the fight will start only after we recover our strength and for him, his strength lies in his dragons. So, they will be recovered to their peak state, right?'' When he thought about it, Leo felt it was possible but the problem was whether Morgan could summon his dragons or not. "Hey¡­.can you summon your dragons? If not, this fight will be over in less than a minute." There was only one way to find out if it was to ask Morgan. If Leo''s guess was right, Morgan could summon them but still, he wanted to confirm it. "Haha¡­let''s see that when the fight begins." Morgan was furious and wanted to start the fight right away; however, he didn''t want to get a bad impression from the gods. "Just tell me whether you can summon them during our fight or not. I can summon my undead beings? Can you summon them?" Leo casually summoned the undead metal-wed vulture and asked Morgan about it. "Don''t worry, my dragons will smash the remaining undead summons into dust." ''Roar'' Morgan was arrogant and proud. So, he was easily agitated by Leo and summoned his Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. "Did you see¡­" ''System, I will go with the first option. I want to get the title [Dragon yer].'' The moment he saw the giant dragon, Leo no longer bothered Morgan and replied to the system to confirm the type of mission he would bepleting. "Hey¡­aren''t you the one who asked about it? Why are you not looking?" Morgan became furious and shouted at Leo a few more times before suppressing it and thought, ''This arrogant piece of sh*t¡­I am going to make you regret messing with me.'' ... Time continued to pass and in a sh, two hours passed by, ''Swiish'' The shiny orb appeared in the sky and said, *** Author''s Note: The Ancient Being is the word that Leo uses to address the Ancient Voice because he didn''t know the name of that God. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 357 Black Fire Dragon The shiny orb didn''t waste any time as it announced the start of the fight and left a few words before disappearing from the barrennd. ... ''Ding, The host''s system feature [Thoughts of the Gods] is activated. The feature directly sends the conversations and thoughts of the gods that are watching the host to the host. [ming Lion God was pleasantly surprised to see you again] [Terra Bull God and Water Spider Goddess are unhappy to see you; however, they are hoping you will die here] . . [War God shakes his head in disappointment] . . . [Dragon God tries to pry into your secrets to find which god is sponsoring you] [All the Gods that are watching you follow the Dragon God''s actions] Soon, Leo saw a series of system notifications; however, he didn''t get any bell sound for them. ''ming Lion God? Terra Bull God? War God?'' Leo was surprised to see the names of the familiar gods and briefly read their thoughts. "Everyone,e out. Let''s resume the fight from before." On the other hand, Morgan summoned his five dragons and without wasting any time, he ordered them, "Toy with him." Previously, Morgan''s dragons were busy fighting Leo''s beast followers; however, now they could directly fight Leo without any obstacles. ''Oh! His dragons arepletely healed. Good¡­good. My new title [Dragon yer] is not far from adding to my [Hero''s interface].'' Looking at the five iing dragons, Leo became excited because he could finish the mission by killing the five dragons. From the name of the title [Dragon yer], Leo could tell it was powerful and if hepared the effects of the previous titles, he was excited just thinking about it. If he could suppress the battle prowess of the dragons by 50 percent during the fight, it would be a piece of cake for Leo to defeat a whole bunch of them. Of course, Leo was notpletely sure that the title''s effect would be the same or even if it was the same, there was no rule that it would be 50 percent. ''There is no need to limit our dreams since they were free anyway.'' [Space Maniption - Teleportation] With a thought, Leo disappeared from his ce and easily dodged the attacks of the five dragons. ''Swoosh'' Leo reappeared on the ck Fire Dragon and silently thought, ''Let''s start the [Dragon yer] mission with my favourite elemental dragon, ck Fire Dragon.'' [Battle Axe Mastery] [War God''s Battle Axe - Titan Strike] During thest two hours, Leo had already nned everything for his fight with the Dragon Summoning Hero. Initially, Leo thought that as long as he killed the Dragon Summoning Hero, it would be over. However, ording to the mission [Dragon yer], he had to kill five dragons personally and killing the Dragon Summoning Hero might kill the dragons too but the mission won''t bepleted. Therefore, Leo decided to kill the dragons and even created an order in which he had to kill them. "An expected move." However, before his attack couldnd on the ck Fire Dragon, Morgan revealed an evil chuckle as he ordered his ck Fire Dragon. "cky, burn him to crisp." ''Roar'' Hearing its master''s order the ck Fire Dragon roared before releasing hellish ck-coloured mes from his body in order to turn Leo into ashes. ¡­.. [Everyone was in awe of Morgan''s counterattack against the host] [Terra Bull God and Water Spider Goddess decided to sponsor Morgan after seeing the host''s corpse] [ming Lion God was hoping the host to survive so that, he could sponsor you] While Leo was covered in the hell mes, he received notifications from the [Thoughts of the Gods]. ''Those two b*stards sure know how to hold a grudge¡­hehe.'' Leo was not surprised by the actions of the Terra Bull God and the Water Spider Goddess. Nevertheless, what surprised him was Morgan''s counterattack to his move. ''It looks like he is not only powerful but has some brains; however, it is not enough to take me down.'' Even though Morgan''s counter was perfect and if it was someone else, they would have died without a doubt; however, it was Leo. ''Ding, The host''s skill [Enhanced Fire Resitance] is triggered. ''Ding, All fire-type attacks will be reduced by 75 percent. Leo has collected the resistances for all main elements for situations like this. Even though the mes released by the ck fire dragon were not normal mes, Leo only felt a slight burning sensation all over his body. ''Before I can get injured, let''s counter the fire with fire.'' If Leo wanted to escape, he could have easily dodged the ck Fire Dragon''s attack by teleporting away from it; however, it was a verymon move and Leo worried that Morgan might have prepared an even more deadly counter for him. Therefore, he decided to counter Morgan with a least expected move and at the same time, kill the ck Fire Dragon. [Mighty Combustion - Directional st] To counter the hell mes, Leo used the mes from his special talent. "Huh? Countering fire with fire?" Morgan was surprised that Leo was still alive inside the hell mes and even used his fire talent to counter his mes. "Wait a second¡­what is he¡­no¡­.cky shake him off your back." Suddenly, Morgan realized what Leo was nning to do and he became anxious. So, he hurriedly gave an order to shake Leo off its back. "You are toote." "Puchi" The War God''s Battle Axe in Leo''s hand pierced through the scales of the ck Fire Dragon. Maybe it was because the ck Fire Dragon was releasing the mes or Leo''s attack was very powerful, Leo''s battle axe pierced through the ck Fire Dragon as easily as cutting the birthday cake. ''Roar'' The ck Fire Dragon released a painful roar at the sky as it fell to the ground. ¡­.. [Woah¡­he killed it] [I never thought a supreme-ranked human would be crazy enough to face the Hell mes of the ck Fire Dragon headon] [He is not bad but he only killed a dragon. There are four more dragons to kill.] [Why don''t we make a bet on who wins the fight?] [Sure. My bet is on the Dragon Summoner] . . . Even though the battle between Leo and Morgan could not bepared to the fights between the gods, the gods felt it was not bad and interested to watch more. .... Of course, Leo was able to hear all their conversations and scoffed. ''Even after I kill the ck Fire Dragon, except for the ming Lion God, no one is putting their money on me.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he looked at the huge corpse of the ck Fire Dragon. ''Ding, The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked ck Fire Dragon and gained one [Supreme Promote Point]. Leo didn''t check the system notification because the remaining four dragons were attacking him at an incredible speed. ''I think I will take a timeout.'' Without wasting any time, Leo activated his talent, [Space Maniption - Secret Dimensional Space] ''Let''s take this corpse with me.'' At the same time, he didn''t forget to drag the ck Fire Dragon''s corpse with him into the Secret Dimensional Space. ''I hope I can gain at least one undead dragon with sentience.'' *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 358 Incredible Luck ''Where did he go?'' Morgan was furious that Leo second his ck Fire Dragon in the same way as the Ghost Dragon. When Leo killed the Ghost Dragon, he was unable to do anything; however, while Leo was nning to kill the ck Fire Dragon, he knew it and even had the chance to stop it. However, despite counterattacking Leo''s move, Leo came up with another skill and killed the ck Fire Dragon with his Battle Axe. Nevertheless, after killing his ck Fire Dragon, Leo disappeared without a trace, making Morgan even more furious. Inside the [Secret Dimensional Space], ''Let''s give some sentience to them.'' Looking at the two huge undead dragons in front of him, Leo revealed a slight smile. With the help of his super special talent [Undead Summoner], Leo doesn''t have any problem raising a level 5 supreme ranked corpse and if he was lucky, he might even raise the level 6 or even higher. Of course, as the level of the corpse increases, the sess of raising them from the dead would decrease. ''Since they are only level 1 supreme rank dragons, I don''t think [Sentient Blessing] will fail on them.'' Compared to raising the corpses, blessing sentient to them had a low sess rate. Moreover, the two undead beings were pure dragons when thye were alive. So, Leo felt it would be hard to bless them with sentience. Nevertheless, he motivated himself with their strength that was only level 1 supreme rank. [Undead Summoner - Sentient Blessing]. First, Leo ced his hand on the Ghost Dragon and activated the special effect of his talent. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully blessing the sentience to the Undead Dragon. ''Ding, The Undead Dragon will retain all his skills, battle experience from when it was alive and it will be called Undead Ghost Dragon. ''Ding, As long as the host nurtures it well, it will evolve into a living dragon and be a more terrifying dragon than Ghost Dragon. ''It''s a sess.'' Leo saw the entire body of the Undead Ghost Dragon was covered in ck-coloured light for a few moments before disappearing. After the sessful [Sentient Blessing], the Undead Ghost Dragon no longer looked hideous and previous soulless eyes became intelligent as it looked at Leo. The spot where Leo periced the Battle Axe to kill it was covered in ck smoke and from a single look, it didn''t look like an Undead Ghost Dragon; instead, it looked just like a Ghost Dragon. ''Let''s see how my luck is.'' Leo didn''t stop there and activated the talent for the undead ck Fire Dragon. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully blessing the sentience to the Undead Dragon . . Just like before, Leo received a series of system notifications which pleasantly surprised him. ''What''s happening? How is my luck so good today?'' Previously, Leo tried to bless sentience to a few supreme ranked beasts and monsters that he felt have the potential to reach the legend grade. However, most of the time, he failed, which made him think that he should go for less powerful beings while blessing the sentience. But, who would have thought that he would be sessful in sentient blessing two times in a row. ''Ding, The host seems to be lucky from an unknown factor. The system is checking for that unknown factor. It might take some time. ''Huh? I am lucky due to some unknown factor?'' Leo was surprised as he thought about what unknown factor could affect his luck? ''I wonder whether I can awaken a system system ability using the [Lucky]'' Suddenly, Leo thought of something that made his heart beat a little faster than usual. ''Huh? My [Talent Swallowing Abilty] should be under cooldown but why is it no under cooldown?'' Leo tried to use the special effect of one of the fragments of the God Stones to reset the cooldoown of the [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy]; however, he was surprised to see that it was already out of the cooldown. ''Wait a second¡­is it because of the Ancient Being?'' After thinking for a moment, Leo remembered the Ancient Being''s words from before. Not only his [Talent Swallowing Ability] but his [Spirit Swallowing Ability] that was supposed to be under cooldown for a year hase down to two weeks because the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God was still refined by the Golden Furnace and it will take two week topletely refine it. ''Does that include the System abilities? Interesting.'' That was the only possible conclusion that Leo coulde up with after thinking about something. ''Anyway, let''s try my luck now.'' Even though he felt it was a waste not to use the special effect of the Fragments of the God Stones, there was nothing Leo could do now because all his system abilities were out of cooldown. And, he didn''t want to miss the [Luck] blessed by the unknown factor. Therefore he decided to use it. As for Morgan, Leopletely ignored him and focused on increasing his strength, Unlike Morgan, Leo didn''t have thoughts of impressing any gods and didn''t even have any thoughts of bing the temporary or permanent apostle to those gods who came for their enterainment. ''Ding, The host spent five Fragments of the God Stones and purchased the [Lucky Buy]. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking a new system ability [Mysterious Stealing Ability]. ''I got a new system ability just by spending five fragments of the God Stones. Is it really real?'' Leo felt like it was a dream because things were smoothly going in his way. Not only did he gain two sentient undead dragons that have the potential to go beyond the Legeng rank but he also got a new system ability. ''[Mysterious Stealing Ability]? What can I steal with it? Talents? Skills? Bloodlines?'' Leo could not control his excitement as there were endless possibilities of what he could steal and hurriedly checked the information on it. ''Ding, System Ability: Mysterious Stealing Ability. . . *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 359 [Bonus Chapter] Mysterious Stealing Ability ''Ding, System Ability: Mysterious Stealing Ability. Effect: When activated on a selected target, the host can steal one thing ranging from talent to an item belonging to that particr target. Cooldown: One month. Limitations: 1) It can be used only once on a single target. 2) Lower the strength of the target, the higher the chance of stealing. ''I can steal anything from the selected target? It''s just like the rewards from the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] where I randomly get something from the refined spirit.'' From the name of the ability, Leo had already guessed the use of the ability. So, he was not surprised by it. Nevertheless, he was happy to have another system ability that would help him be stronger. ''I wonder whether I can see the sess rate just like how I can see it while using the [Spirit Swallowing Ability].'' Since the [Mysterious Stealing Ability] and the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] looked a little simr, Leo hoped he could get the pop-up notifications that could show him the sess rate. ''System, can you create a barrier around me while using the [Mysterious System Ability]?'' ''Ding, Except for when using the [Talent Swallowing Ability], the host doesn''t have to be careful when using the other system abilities in front of the gods. ''Huh?'' Leo raised his brows and wanted to ask a question; however, Leo knew the system would not answer him now. ''I will just wait until the world assessment ispleted. Then I hope all my doubts regarding the system get cleared.'' Since the system had already promised him to answer three of his questions after the world assessment, Leo didn''t bother to ask any questions now. ''If only I have more Fragments of the God Stones, I would have used them to purchase more system abilities.'' Leo looked at the four Fragments of the God Stones on him and thought, ''If only I have at least one more Fragment of the God Stone, I could have got another system ability.'' He felt a little regretful for not collecting the Fragments of the God Stones from his followers before entering the [Treasure Land]. Nevertheless, there was no medicine for regret as he shook his head and thought, ''I hope that b*stard has some Fragments of the God Stones.'' Even though Morgan was not the strongest hero Leo had seen in his life, he was most definitely a unique one. Not only does he have a super rare talent but he also cultivates and has a bloodline. Moreover, he gains an ability every time he summons a dragon. ''Before I use my new system ability on Morgan, let''s see whether there are any good talents and skills I can use from my new intelligent undead beasts.'' The only way to effectively use his undead dragons was by knowing their talents and skills because Leo didn''t know what type of trump cards the so-called Dragon Summoning Hero coulde up with. Therefore, he wanted to be thoroughly prepared before going out of the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ''Ding, Beast Name: Ghost Dragon (Undead). Strength: Level 2 supreme rank. Talents: 1) Ghost Eyes: A talent with which it can see through the other realms. 2) Ghost Dragon Body: Enables the Ghost Dragon to pass through the barriers and even spatial cracks. It can even hide in those spatial cracks itself and attack the enemy hiding in those spatial cracks. 3) Undead Dragon (new): Even if it dies, the undead summoner can revive it with some penalties. Skills: Ghost ws, Dragon Breath, Dragon Tail¡­. ''Ding, Beast Name: ck Fire Dragon (Undead). Strength: Level 3 supreme rank. Talents: 1) Hell mes: The dragon will be covered in ck-coloured mes that can instantly burn anything close to it into ashes. 2) Undead Dragon (new): Even if it dies, the undead summoner can revive it with some penalties. Skills: me Thrower, Fire Dragon ws, Fire Dragon Tail¡­. Soon, theplete information about his new sentient undead beasts appeared in front of Leo. ''Their strength increased after turning into the undead dragons. Is it because of the same luck from an unknown factor?'' The first thing that caught Leo''s attention was the increase in the strength of the Ghost Dragon and the ck Fire Dragon by one and two levels respectively. Even though the sentient undead beings could raise their strength unlike the regr undead beings, it didn''t happen with the Ancient Goliath King. So, Leo could only conclude that the increase in strength was due to the incredible luck he got from the unknown factor. ''It looks like I have done a good thing by killing the Ghost Dragon first.'' When Leo saw the first and second talent of the Ghost Dragon, he thought he did well without knowing about it. If Ghost Dragon was alive, Leo would not have the luxury to sit in the [Secret Dimensional Space] and do whatever he was doing right now. ''Huh? A new talent? So, it became a talent now.'' The next thing that attracted Leo''s attention was talent. Leo already knew that he could revive the sentient undead beasts unlimited times; however, there would be some penalty each time he revived them. However, now that effect had be a talent for his sentient undead beings. ''As for the skills, they have almost all the basic skills of a dragon with some minute changes.'' Leo nodded his head and felt like he knew a lot about his new undead beasts now. ''That b*stard is getting furious, I should go and surprise him with my new sentient undead dragons.'' While Leo was making his preparations for his next move, Morgan was shouting angrily for Leo toe out. As for the Gods that were watching him, some felt pity whereas some felt it was unfair for Morgan and decided to help him but talking to the Ancient Beings regarding Leo hiding in the [Secret Dimensional Space]. However, before they could help Morgan, Leo walked out of the [Secret Dimensional Space]. "Why are you shouting? Is that a bacsh you received after the death of your two dragons?" Leo mocked Morgan and without wasting any time, he called, "Why don''t youe out and say ''Hi'' to your previous master?" ''Roar'' ''Roar'' Soon, the Undead Ghost Dragon and the Undead ck Fire Dragon walked out of the Secret Dimensional Space and roared at Morgan. "Damn you¡­B*stard! How dare you do that to my dragons?" Morgan became furious; however, Leo didn''t stop himself from mocking Morgan. "Don''t worry. I will take good care of all six dragons of yours and make them terrifying dragons" Leo was indirectly saying that he would be killing all the dragons under Morgan''s control and turning them into undead dragons. [The Demon Gods are showing interest in you. They are thinking to sponsor you after you kill your opponent] [The Righteous Gods are thinking your methods are evil; however, deep down they think you are just doing whatever you can to survive] [Abyssal Demon God is looking at you with a frown as though he sensing something familiar from your body but he could not figure out what it was] . . ''Huh? Abyssal Demon God is here?'' Leo raised his brows when he saw thest notification and felt a little anxious. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 360 Ancient Dragon Gods Bloodline Since Leo was still refining the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God, he felt a little anxious when he heard his thoughts. ''From the looks of it, he didn''t know yet. I think I have to finish the fight as soon as possible.'' Leo felt he should not waste any time andplete the mission [Dragon yer] before killing the Dragon Summoning Hero. However, there was another series of system notifications from the [Thoughts of the Gods] that made Leo frown. [ming Lion God decided to sponsor you; however, he was stopped by the Unknown God (Ancient Being) who said that the offers could be only made to the winner after the match] [All the Gods were angry at the Unknown God hosting the match] [A few Gods understood what the Unknown God was trying to do and looked at the host and his opponent with pity] ''So, the ancient being is stopping them from sponsoring me¡­it looks like I finally understood why he brought us here and even invited all the gods.'' Since Leo already knew about the ancient being''s disliking of humans, he figured out that he was nning to kill one of them to reduce the chances of passing the world assessment. However, what he didn''t understand was letting the other gods sponsor them. With the help of the gods, the winner of the match will be even more powerful. Nevertheless, Leo could guess what the Ancient Being was nning to do just like the few gods who figured out the Ancient Being''s thoughts. ''Anyway, I don''t need any gods to sponsor me.'' Unlike others who need to receive God''s sponsorship and be apostles to be stronger, Leo could continue to be stronger with the system. Therefore, he was not expecting any rewards from the fight and focused on the fight. "B*stard, I was nning to kill you slowly; however, I will go all out now." Morgan felt that there was no need to waste his time in impressing the gods slowly; instead, he decided to impress them by killing Leo as soon as possible. [Ancient Dragon God''s Blessing, activate] Since Leo was more tricky than he thought, Morgan activated his bloodline along with his other abilities. "Let''s see how you are going to escape this time." After activating his bloodline, his four dragons roared with excitement as they were covered in a unique golden-coloured energy. "Shadow Dragon, lock his shadow." At the same time, Morgan ordered his Shadow Dragon to lock Leo''s shadow stopping him from jumping into the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ''Huh? Boosting the strength of the dragons and imprisoning me at the same time¡­interesting.'' Leo finally understood how furious Morgan became when he entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] for a whole five minutes. However, he was not worried much because he had a few trump cards of his own to use in the life and death situation. ''Should I use my new bloodline?'' One of the trump cards that he felt using in his current situation was [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] However, the reason why Leo hesitated in activating that bloodline was that he felt the Abyssal Demon God might sense that his remnant spirit was being refined by him. ''Am I thinking too much? The system has already said the Abyssal Demon God will not sense the scent of his remnant spirit on me.'' Leo shook his head as he decided to put his cautious nature aside and activate it. ''Roar'' Just as he was about to activate his bloodline, Leo heard the excited roars of his undead dragons. ''Ding, The host''s undead dragons received the boost from the enemy''s bloodline. ''Ding, The strengths of the Undead Ghost Dragon and the Undead ck Fire Dragon are upgraded to level 5 and 6 supreme rank respectively. The effectsst for one hour. He saw that his two undead dragons were covered in the same golden-coloured energy as Morgan''s dragons and when he heard the system notifications, Leo''s doubts were cleared. ''Interesting. So, his bloodline can''t different between the friend or foe and gives the boost to all the dragons around him.'' When he saw the system notifications, Leo felt that he didn''t have to use any of his trump cards as he got two powerful undead dragons now. [Undead Summoning - Raise] Since his opponent was going all out, Leo thought it would be not bad to use some of his talents and decided to summon the remaining dozen supreme-ranked undead summons. "Go and y with the Shadow Dragon. Let''s enlist it in our undead army." The undead beats rushed towards Shadow Dragon and disturbed it from imprisoning Leo''s shadow. "I thought you might pose a threat to me after activating your bloodline; however, it looks like I will be killing another one of your dragons now." As soon as he became free, Leo mocked Morgan and asked him, "Let''s see how you are going to stop me." [War God''s Battle Axe - Titan Strike] [Battle Axe Mastery] Since Leo''s Arcane Silver was still digesting the Abyssal Demon God''s Swords, Leo could only use the War God''s Battle Axe. Nevertheless, Leo was confident in killing the Shadow Dragon with all the passive boost he gets from his talents, skills and title. "Is that so?" Morgan was surprised that Leo''s Undead Dragons were able to benefit from his bloodline; however, he recovered from that in no time and revealed a slight smile on his face. "Shadow Dragon, [Position Swap] now." ''Swoosh'' As soon as Morgan gave that order, the Shadow Dragon disappeared from its ce and the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon appeared there. From the bloodline''s boost, its strength was upgraded to level 6 supreme rank as the golden armour on its body became more shiny. ''ng'' The battle-axended on the golden armour; however, there was not a single scratch on it. Due to the metallic-collison, Leo felt his hands be numb and before he could react Morgan nned his next attack. "Now, [Dual Poison Breath]" Morgan didn''t stop there as he ordered the twin-headed Poison Dragon to attack Leo. ''Swiish'' Soon, half of the barrennd was covered in the poison gas released by the twin-headed Poison Dragon. Morgan and his other dragons were not affected by the poison as the twin-headed Poison Dragon used the [Poison Immuniy] on Morgan and the other dragons. Leo''s dragons were undead dragons. So, they were not affected by the poison either. "How is that? You might have fire resistance, do you have the poison¡­" [War God''s Battle Axe - Titan Strike] ''Kacha'' However, before he could finish his words, Morgan saw Leo disappear from his ce and reappeared above the Shadow Dragon''s neck with his huge battle-axe and dealt a critical blow. ''Ding, The host killed the Shadow Dragon¡­. Leo didn''t look at the system notification because he was confident in his strike; instead, he looked at Morgan and asked, "What were you saying? The poison must have gone into my ears as I can''t hear you properly." "Impossible. It is the strongest poison that could even affect the¡­" "Let''s take a timeout as I have to turn it into undead. When Ie back, we will have equal dragons each." Leo didn''t bother to listen to Morgan''s words as he dragged the Shadow Dragon''s corpse into the [Secret Dimensional Space]. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 361 Golden Energy Blast Time continued to pass and in a sh, 10 minutes passed by, "This Giant Dragon''s golden armour is much stronger than I thought." After killing the Shadow Dragon, Leo killed two more dragons, Azure Wind Dragon and the Twin-Headed Poison Dragon. Except for the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon, Morgan lost all his dragons to Leo who turned them into his own Undead Dragons after killing them. The reason why Morgan was unable to do anything to Leo even after activating the bloodline was that Leo kept entering the [Secret Dimensional Space] or using [Teleportation] to dodge his and his dragons'' attacks. From time to time, Leo woulde out of the [Secret Dimensional Space] and kill one of his dragons before taking the corpse into the [Secret Dimensional Space]. As usual, when hees out of the [Secret Dimensional Space], Leo would turn the Dragon Corpse into an Undead Dragon. Moreover, the strength of the Undead Dragon would increase at least one or two levelspared to when it was alive. Adding to the temporary boost from the Ancient Dragon God''s Bloodline, the strength of all Undead Dragons under Leo''s control had the strength of the Level 5 Supreme Rank. "Shadow, imprison him." Like how Morgan used the Shadow Dragon to imprison Leo before, Leo used the same method. ''Ding, Mission Name: Dragon yer. Mission Progress: 4 / 5. ''I am just one step away frompleting the mission.'' Looking at the mission''s progress, Leo revealed an exciting look on his face as he directly attacked the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. ''Die'' ''ng'' However, just like before, his War God''s Battle Axe was unable to prate through the defence of the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. "You can''t kill it unless you be a Legendary Hero." "Gold, activate [Absolute Defence]." Morgan gritted his teeth as he ordered hisst surviving dragon as he thought, ''I lost too much in this match but I have to at least kill that b*stard.'' ''Roar'' Hearing his order, the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon rushed towards Morgan and activated his talent. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a golden-coloured barrier was activated around Morgan and the dragon. "Huh? A barrier? Everyone, attack it." Leo was already having trouble prating the defence of the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon and now, there was a barrier. He felt something was off about it; however, he didn''t think much about it and ordered all his undead dragons to attack the barrier. With the appearance of the Golden Barrier, the Undead Shadow Dragon''s attack failed and Morgan became free. After bing free, Morgan shot an angry look at Leo before consuming a golden-coloured pill and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. [Ghost Dragon Body] [Hell mes] [Azure Wind des] [Acid st] [Shadow Cannon] The five undead dragons under Leo''s control attacked the Golden Barrier one after another; however, there was not a single scratch on the Golden Barrier, making Leo raise his eyebrows. ''How strong is that barrier? And more importantly, what is he doing by sitting cross-legged?'' Leo frowned as he didn''t understand what Leo Morgan was trying to do. ''Ding, The Dragon Summoning Hero used his Dragon Cultivation to boost the strength of the Golden Barrier. ''Huh? He is boosting the strength of the barrier. No wonder, they are unable to do anything to the barrier.'' Leo finally understood why the attacks of the five undead dragons didn''t have any effects on the barrier. With the boost from the bloodline, the five undead dragons have be level 4, 5 and even level 6 supreme-ranked dragons. However, it was useless in front of the barrier. ''I think I just need to increase my strength to break that barrier.'' ''Boom'' Just as he was thinking about a n to break the barrier, Leo heard a huge explosion and saw his five undead dragons sted away by Golden energy released by the Golden Barrier before it disappeared. ''Swoosh'' Even Leo, who was around 200 meters away from the barrier got pushed back and he felt all his internals shaking. ''Ding. The host''s Undead Ghost Dragon got killed. ''Ding, The host''s Undead ck Fire Dragon got killed. . . ''Ding, The host can revive them after 24 hours with a penalty. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head, informing him about his Undead Dragons. "Now, it''s your turn to die now." Leo was yet to recover from his shock as Morgan rushed towards him with a few of his skills like [Shadow w], [Azure Speed], [Golden Dragon Armour]. ''sh'' Just when the Shadow ws were about tond on his body, Leo did a back roll and entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] to think about what just happened. ''That was a close one.'' Leo didn''t expect Morgan to still maintain his calm ande up with such good back-to-back attacks. From the beginning, Leo was able to toy with Morgan who got easily offended and furious which made him unable to think properly. Taking that to his advantage, Leo easily was able to kill all the dragons. However, maybe Morgan finally learnt his lesson and calmed himself toe up with a perfect n to kill all the undead dragons in a single attack before killing Leo. ''He was sessful in killing my Undead Dragons and was nearly sessful in killing me. It looks like I need to kill thest dragon as soon as possible before killing him.'' Leo felt that Morgan might be still hiding a few more trump cards and decided to end the fight as soon as possible. ''The barrier is gone and I don''t think he can use it again any time soon.'' Since the barrier seemed like a powerful attack, Leo knew it could not be used again and again, therefore, he concluded Morgan can''t use it for some time. ''However, the problem is the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon''s defence.'' The defence of the dragon was so hard that even with all the passive effects and the War God''s Battle Axe''s weapon skill were unable to leave a scratch on it. ''If I have the Arcane Silver, I would have used its weapon skill [Weapon Eye] to see the weak points of the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon; however, it is still under upgrade.'' Leo shook his head and after thinking for a moment, he thought of something, ''I think I have to upgrade this talent to supreme grade.'' ''Ding, The upgrade requirements of the normal talent [Battle-Axe Mastery] 1) Kill 100 supreme-ranked beings with a battle-axe, (Completed). 2) Gain the recognition of a Supreme-ranked Battle-Axe, (Completed). 3) 1000 [Supreme Promote Points], (The host has more than enough). 4) Using the skill 100 times, (Completed). Just as he thought about upgrading talent and the system knew what Leo was thinking about it. So, it showed him the upgrade requirements for the [Battle-Axe Mastery] to the Supreme Grade. That''s right! Leo decided to upgrade a normal talent because he felt it was the safest and the easiest way to kill the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. ''Thank you the Potential Pearl, its experience has reached peak level 9 and since I used the [Battle-Axe Mastery] for most of my battles, I have fulfilled the upgrade requirements.'' With a slight smile, Leo ordered the system, ''System, upgrade it.'' *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 350 Golden Tickets. Chapter 362 [Bonus Chapter] Potential Pearl Beforeing to the Heavenly Fighting Arena, Leo had already got the system notification regarding the [Battle-Axe Master''s] upgrade; however, Leo didn''t want to upgrade it. It was because Leo was aiming to get the highest possible reward from the mission [Mighty Supreme] by upgrading to super special talents and special talents. For the same reason, he was holding back his reward of upgrading the five normal talents to the supreme grade because Leo feared the reward would decrease by a lot with half of the 10 talents being supreme grade talents. ''However, I didn''t want to use the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] or [Blood Devil Goliath''s Bloodline].'' Leo didn''t want to use the bloodline as he thought, ''Anyway, upgrading one normal talent to the supreme grade is not a problem.'' With that thought in mind, Leo upgraded the [Battle Axe Mastery] to the supreme grade. ''Ding, The normal talent [Battle Axe Mastery] is upgrading to the supreme grade. Please wait. ''Ding, Item Name: Potential Pearl. Item Grade: Legend. Owner: Leo Effect: 1) The potential of one of the owner''s talents will instantly increase by 10 percent. Cooldown: One month before the owner can change the talent that needs to get the potential. Special Effect: The same talent will receive one percent of potential per day. Note: 1) Only normal talents can be benefitted from the effects. 2) Even Legend grade normal talents can be upgraded using this pearl. 3) It can''t be used when talent has to break through the major ranks like from Mortal to Supreme or Supreme to Legend. 4) A talent can get only one 10 percent boost in its potential. While the talent was upgrading, Leo thought back to the information of the final item he bought from the Diamond Section of the [Treasure Land] and revealed a slight smile. It was a small marble-sized orb with various coloured inside. With the help of this pearl, he could increase the potential of his normal talent. At first, Leo thought it was useless because he already have the [Talent Promoter] to upgrade not only the normal talents but even the special talents; however, when he thought about it, he felt it was an excellent item. All he had to do was select the talent he wanted to upgrade and even by doing nothing, he could upgrade a normal talent to the next level within 91 days. For the mortal grade normal talents, it might look like nothing; however, for the supreme grade normal talents and even legend grade normal talents. Even by doing nothing, his talents would grow. ''Ding, The normal talent [Battle Axe Mastery] is upgraded to Supreme Grade. ''Ding, Talent name: Battle-axe mastery (Level 1 Supreme). Passive Effects: 1) When the user holds a battle-axe, his strength and defence increase by 500 percent. 2) The damage dealt by the battle-axe will be increased by 500 percent. Active Effect: [Axe Maniac], when the user holds a battle-axe, his strength and defence increase by 1000 percent for ten minutes. ''The active effect of the upgraded talent is equivalent to the level 1 Bloodline of the Blood Devil Goliath; however, I have to hold a battle-axe to use those effects.'' After the upgrade, the passive talent turned into an Active and Passive talent. Leo was satisfied with the upgrade in both the passive effects and the active effect of the talent. ''This should be enough to kill the giant golden armoured dragon and finish the mission.'' Once he got the boost from his [Battle-Axe Mastery], Leo was confident in taking care of the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. ''Let''splete the mission now.'' Leo didn''t want to waste any time as he directly appeared above the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. ''War God''s Battle Axe,e out.'' The huge battle axe appeared in Leo''s hands as he looked at Morgan who was standing below the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon. "Gold¡­[Hardened Golden Armour]." Even though the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon didn''t have many powerful attacks like [Golden Energy st] that killed all the dragons under Leo''s control, it had good defence. Moreover, seeing that Leo was nning to repeat the same attack on hisst dragon, Morgan didn''t want to take any chance and order the dragon to activate its skill. "No matter what, it is useless now." Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he mocked Morgan and activated the new effect of his [Battle Axe Mastery.] [Battle Axe Mastery - Axe Maniac] [War God''s Battle Axe''s weapon skill - Titan Strike] ''Kacha'' ''Roar'' Unlike before, there was no metallic sound; instead, the battle axe cracked the armour on the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon, making it roar in pain. However, a single strike was not enough to take down the Giant Dragon. [War God''s Battle Axe''s weapon skill - Lacerating Strike] [War God''s Battle Axe''s weapon skill - Mighty Cleave] Leo didn''t give any time for Morgan or the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon to react as he used the other weapon skill of the War God again and again until he got a series of system notifications. ''Ding, The host killed a Giant Golden Armoured Dragon and gained 4 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission [Dragon yer] by killing the five dragons. ''Ding, The host received a new title [Dragon yer]. ''Phew'' Looking at the series of system notifications, Leo heaved a sigh of relief because he had finallypleted the mission and at the same time received the reward. "H-how¡­is this possible?" On the other hand, Morgan fell to his knees as he looked at Leo and the recently killed Giant Golden Armoured Dragon''s corpse. Among his dragons, the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon was the strongest one with an excellent defence; however, Leo killed it, right in front of his eyes. "Are you hiding any other trump cards?" Leo didn''t check the effects of his title as he was not in a hurry; instead, he looked at Morgan who lost all his arrogance and confidence in his strength. With a scoff, Leo asked him. Even though Morgan has some good abilities that he gained from his dragons, he had already learned that those abilities were not enough to kill Leo. ''With dragons, the Dragon Summoning Hero is nothing.'' Morgan was unable to ept it; however, deep down he knew he was nothing without his dragons. He didn''t even think about the mistakes he had made while fighting Leo because there was no use thinking about them as he had already lost all his dragons and ording to the rules, only of them could walk out of the [Heavenly Fighting Arena]. ¡­. [Some gods felt the fight was good and are hoping you to kill him so that they could send their offers to you to be their temporary apostle] [War God was impressed by your battle tactics; however, he was not happy as he knew where the host hase from] [Dragon God has just arrived to watch the match between the host and Morgan. He was furious to see the current state of his temporary apostle] [Dragon God secretly contacted Morgan and devised a n to kill the host] ''Huh?'' While walking towards Morgan, Leo checked the [Thoughts of Gods] and frowned when he saw thest notifications. [Dragon Summoner - Summoning the Dragon] Suddenly, there was an evil smile on Morgan''s face as he shouted out loud and in the next second, a huge ck-coloured winged dragon appeared before him. "Let''s see how long you are going tost against my Level 9 supreme ranked Void Dragon." *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 350 Golden Tickets. Chapter 363 Using [Mysterious Stealing Ability] A few moments back, [Brat, why are you kneeling in front of others? You are my apostle and you are only supposed to kneel in front of me] ''Dragon God, I failed you. I am going to get killed now in that b*stard''s hands.'' Morgan, who became hopeless, was surprised to hear the familiar voice of the Dragon God, the one that made him into his temporary apostle. [Idiot¡­.I will help you in killing him. As long as you win this match you will be very powerful and bing the ruler of that nameless human world will be easy] ''What? But¡­how?'' Morgan became hopeful again; however, he didn''t know how the Dragon God was going to help him. At the same time, Morgan was careful not to show the hopeful look on his face to Leo. [Thanks to the Heavenly Fighting Arena''s unique reset ability, your talent has alreadye out of the cooldown] ''What? It''s not in the cooldown anymore?'' Unlike Leo who had the system to tell about the cooldown reset of the talents and abilities, Morgan didn''t have it. So, he was surprised when he heard the Dragon God''s words and became excited; however, in the next second, he asked, ''Even if I use my talent, there is no guarantee that I will get a powerful dragon¡­.'' [I will make sure you summon a powerful dragon. You just need to activate your talent.] Before Morgan could finish his words, the Dragon God asked Morgan to activate his talent. ''Yes, Dragon God.'' Even though Morgan was only a temporary apostle for him, the Dragon God was proud and he didn''t want his apostle to lose to the apostle of another god. ''I wonder which b*stard''s apostle is that brat.'' Looking at Leo, the Dragon Apostle muttered to himself as he started connecting Morgan''s talent with one of the strongest dragons in the worlds he controlled. ¡­. [Dragon God stake 1000 units of the God Essence that his apostle will win] [The other Gods were suspicious of the Dragon God''s actions; however, a few Gods decided to increase their stakes on the host] [ming Lion God increased his stakes on you by 1000 units of the God Essence] [Everyone is thinking that the ming Lion God has gone mad] As for Leo, he understood that the Dragon God was secretly contacted with Morgan and wanted to kill him. ''I wonder why ming Lion God has a lot of trust in me? Is it because of my rtionship with the ming Lion Tribe in the Beas?'' At the same time, Leo wondered about the ming Lion God who was hoping that he would win and even tried to help him in the middle of the fight. However, he was stopped by the cruel Unknown God (Ancient Being). ''Anyway, let''s not think much about him and focus on killing Morgan and get out of this ce.'' Originally, Leo wanted to use his new system ability [Mysterious Stealing Ability] on Morgan; however, when he saw that the Dragon God was nning something with Morgan, he directly wanted to kill Morgan. [Spatial Maniption - Teleportation] Without wasting any time, Leo used his teleportation and appeared behind Morgan to hack him down with his battle axe as his [Axe Maniac] was still active. ''Boom'' However, there was a mysterious barrier that blocked his attack and at the same time, pushed him a few meters back. ''What is that?'' Leo frowned when he saw that his attack was blocked by something and thought, ''Is it the Dragon God?'' ''Ding, The host can''t attack Morgan while he is summoning his dragon. ''So, he is summoning another dragon for me? Excellent.'' However, when he saw the system''s reply, Leo revealed a smile and decided to cast his new system ability. He was not surprised that Morgan could summon a new dragon because Leo already knew that all his talents, skills and even system abilities were reset the moment the match between them started. ''Let''s see what I can get from him.'' While Morgan was busy summoning a new dragon, Leo used his new system ability. [Mysterious Stealing Ability] [Target - selected] Since Morgan was the only one in Leo''s sight, the ability directly locked its target on Morgan. ''Ding, The [Mysterious Stealing Ability] has been sessfully used on the target. ''I knew it. My [Incredible Luck] is still hovering around me.'' The reason why Leo thought of using that system ability in his current situation was because of the [Incredible Luck] he was getting from an unknown factor. ''Ding, The host stole an Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg. ''Ding, The connection of the egg with the target has been severed and a new connection between the host has been established. ''Ding, Item Name: Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg. Item Grade: God-tier Information: A Godly beast that turned into an egg after facing some unresolvable situations. It is a double-edged sword that will help you on your path to bing a God; however, if its existence is known to the Gods, you will face countless tribtions in your path. Owner: Leo. Note: If the owner dies, the egg will be randomly teleported to the next potential master who could take care of it. Just from the name alone, Leo felt it was a Godly item and after seeing the information on it, Leo raised his brows. ''What? An Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg? Severed the connection?'' Nevertheless, he became excited and thought, ''Having a beastpanion that could be a Godly Beast was not a bad thing.'' Since he would be hunted by the gods if the existence of the system were to be known to the Gods, Leo didn''t mind adding another item to the list. ''Anyway, the system will help me hide it and nurture it.'' He had trust in the system and checked for the egg in his storage ring; however, he didn''t find it. ''Ding, The Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg is inside the host''s body and it will onlye out when it is about to hatch. ''Oh.'' Leo nodded his head in understanding and silently muttered to himself. ''No wonder he is very arrogant. So, this is where he truly got his arrogance and pride from.'' Finally, Leo understood why Morgon looked down on everything because, with the help of this egg, his path to bing God was smooth. ''Since he had already be the Dragon God''s temporary apostle, that means, the Dragon God must know about the egg, right? If my guess is right, he was nning to indirectly control the Ancient Primordial Dragon God through Morgan.'' When he thought about how the Dragon God was secretly helping Morgan, a temporary apostle, Leo felt his guess was right. ''Ding, The Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg presence can''t be seen even by the Gods unless you be the temporary or permanent apostle for them. Hence, there is no need for the host to worry. As though the system sensed Leo''s worries, it informed Leo about the egg''s ability to hide itself avoiding the eyes of the Gods. "Let''s see how long you are going tost against my Level 9 supreme ranked Void Dragon." Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard Morgan''s arrogant words. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 350 Golden Tickets. Chapter 364 Void Dragon King, New Title ''Roar'' A huge dragon that was much bigger than the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon appeared in front of Morgan that roared at Leo. Its entire body was pitch ck with huge wings, a body full of sharp spikes. Just a single look was enough to scare its opponents. ''A level 9 supreme-ranked void dragon?'' Leo frowned as he checked the details of the huge dragon. ''Ding, Beast Name: Void Dragon King. Strength: Level 6 supreme rank. Talent: Can''t be assessed. Skills: Can''t be assessed. . . Except for the name and the strength, there was nothing Leo the system could show him. ''The three-level boost must be from his bloodline. I need to drag this fight for another 20 minutes and when the bloodline''s effect disappears, I can kill it.'' With that thought in mind, Leo didn''t hesitate in dragging the corpse of the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon into the [Secret Dimensional Space]. Currently, Leo was not confident in killing a level 9 supreme-ranked beast; however, he was confident in killing the level 6 supreme-ranked beast. Therefore, he decided to drag on the fight for some time by hiding inside the [Secret Dimensional Space]. However, suddenly, he realized something and hurriedly blessed the sentience to the Giant Golden Armoured Dragon before exiting the [Secret Dimensional Space] while leaving the undead dragon inside. ''Since it is a Void Dragon, it must have attacks that could pierce through space. It is best I don''t let the Void Dragon destroy the [Secret Dimensional Space].'' Even though Leo could not see the talents and skills of the Void Dragon King, Leo could guess what type of skills and talents it had. Also, despite his [Secret Dimensional Space] having the self-repairing ability, he could not use it for at least 24 hours and Leo didn''t want that to happen. Therefore, he decided to drag on the fight without hiding in the Secret Dimensional Space. "Void Dragon King, kill that b*stard." Seeing that he summoned a powerful dragon, Morgan was back to his confidence as he ordered the Void Dragon King to kill Leo. At the same time, he thought, ''Even though I lost all my previous dragons, as long as I have that Egg and the talent, I can be the ''God of Dragons''.'' When he thought about this, Morgan could not help but be excited; however, he forgot to check whether he still had a connection with the egg. It was just that Morgan was confident that no one could steal it. Therefore, he didn''t bother to check it again and again but too bad, the egg had long disappeared from his body. ''Growl'' On the other hand, the Void Dragon King didn''t attack Leo, instead, it growled at Morgan and replied to him, ''Do you think I am your ve? You are not qualified to order me.'' ''...'' Morgan was speechless at the Void Dragon King''s words; however, he maintained a smile on his face as he asked, ''Please kill the b*stard.'' ''Good.'' Only when Morgan requested it, the Void Dragon King nodded his head and pped its wings before flying toward Leo. ''I know how to wrap this fight.'' Leo waited for the Void Dragon King toe close to him as he got a new idea to finish the match as soon as possible. [Void sh] [Space Maniption - Teleportation] The moment the Void Dragon King came close to him, it used its sharp ws to sh it; however, Leo used his teleportation to dodge the attack. ''Aargh'' However, Leo had clearly underestimated the Void Dragon King''s attack because it was able to lightly cut him through the space even when he was teleporting. ''Damn it¡­that beast is more powerful than I thought.'' ? This was the only thought in Leo''s head as he reappeared behind Morgan with a frown. ''How did I appear to her?'' He was confused because his destination was somewhere away from Morgan but surprisingly he appeared behind Morgan. ''Wait a second¡­is it because of my [Incredible Luck] again?'' Leo thought about it for a moment; however, he didn''t waste any more time as he decided to skill the steps in killing Morgan when a great opportunity appeared in front of him. "Without a summoner, the summoned beast will die." ''sh'' These were thest words that Morgan heard before his sight turned ck and fell to the ground with a ''Thud'' "How did he get past me?" The Void Dragon King was shocked when he saw the human who summoned it got killed by its target. Even though the Void Dragon King did not excel in space maniptions, it was confident in slightly tweaking the spatialws around it. So, it was thought that even if Leo teleported himself, his destination would be different from what he chose; however, Leo appeared right behind Morgan who was assured by the Void Dragon King that Leo could not appear anywhere close to him. ''It looks like the Dragon Summoner is cursed with bad luck.'' The Void Dragon King was not close to Morgan and was only summoned a few moments back, so it was not bothered much by Morgan''s death as it corrected Leo, "Human, your earlier words were wrong." Leo frowned at the Void Dragon King''s words; however, at the same time, he received a system notification. ''Ding, The host killed a temporary apostle and gained a new title [Apostle Killer-mini]. Note: The title will be upgraded when the host kills a permanent apostle. ''Huh? A new title?'' Even though he was excited to get a new title, Leo was still bothered about the Void Dragon King''s words. "Even though I am not close to the Dragon Summoner, I have to kill you to go back to my world. So, get¡­" ''Swoosh'' Before the Void Dragon King could finish its words, the shiny orb from before appeared between Leo and the Void Dragon King. "Since one of the humans is dead, the match is concluded and the winner is Leo." The voice of the unknown god who was in charge of the world assessment announced the result of the match. "What?" The Void Dragon King frowned when he heard the announcement and hurriedly contacted the Dragon God who tasked it to kill Leo. [Since you failed in your task, you are not qualified to be my apostle] The Dragon God was still in shock as he was unable to believe that his temporary apostle had died at the hands of Leo. Nevertheless, he was furious at the oue of the event and he decided to vent his anger on the Void Dragon King. ''I understand¡­but can''t you send me back to my world? Without me, my family can''t survive for long in that grade 2 world.'' The Void Dragon King was offered a deal by the Dragon God that as long as he killed the opponent of the Dragon Summoner, he would take it as his temporary apostle. To grow stronger in the grade 2 world he was teleported to with his family, the Void Dragon King took the offer as the other party promised its safety. However, now, he not only kept his promise but he was not even sending him back to his home, making the Void Dragon King anxious.

Chapter 365 [Bonus Chapter] Gifts From The Gods While the Void Dragon was lost in its thoughts, the Unknown God announced to all the Gods who watched the fight that they can sponsor Leo if they want; however, he set the time limit as one minute. [What? Only one minute?] [He must be joking, right? We can barely convince him to be our temporary apostle and how can we leave our mark in one minute?] [So, this is how that b*stard decided to use his power to make that human without any new sponspers] [Let''s leave from here. There is no way we can leave our temporary apostle mark on him within one minute] When they heard the unknown god''s announcement, the gods who were waiting to sponsor Leo and make him their temporary apostle became disappointed and decided to leave. Since the gods were in some distant realm that was far away from the Heavenly Fighting Arena, it would take at least 10 minutes to leave their temporary apostle mark. And if they want to make him their permanent apostle, it would take even more time. Of course, if they were close to Leo, they only needed Leo''s agreement and in an instant, they could make him their permanent apostle. Therefore, in their current situation, there was nothing they could do.

[The other gods got the idea after seeing how the ming Lion God was able to send the World Ticket to the host] [Terra Bull God sent a World Ticket to a grade 3 world ticket to the host with evil intentions] [Water Spider Goddess sent a World Ticket to a grade 3 world ticket to the host with evil intentions] [The Zephyr Eagle God sent a World Ticket to a grade 1 world ticket with the hopes of convincing you to be his apostle or at least temporary apostle] [The Zephyr Eagle God blessed the host with a wisp of its power that will make all the eagles in that grade 1 world treat you like a guest] . . . [The Dragon God looks at you with furious eyes and swore to hunt you down; however, he was unable to bless you with any world tickets] Soon, Leo''s head was filled with a series of system notifications as he received the world tickets to the worlds where they have their presence. Along with the world tickets, they also left a wisp of their presence in Leo''s body so that when he enters those worlds, Leo would not be attacked by their followers and the apostles. ''Ding, Grade 1 World Tickets: 8 Grade 3 World Tickets: 2 ''The Terra Bull God and the Water Spider Goddess must be guessing I can survive in grade 1 and 2 worlds.'' When he saw the two gods blessing him with grade 3 world tickets, Leo was not surprised because he knew what they were thinking. Nevertheless, Leo didn''t reject them as he would be visiting them in the future. ''When I enter those worlds, I will make them regret giving me these grade 3 World Tickets.'' Leo silently thought in his head as he continued muttering, ''As for the other gods, they want to turn me into their apsotle after I enter those worlds. As long as they don''t make thingsplicated for me, I will just focus on my path.'' [Your time is up, I will be sending them now] As soon as one minute, the Shiny Orb announced the end of the blessing time. [Now, it is time for your reward] Once the Shiny Orb cut off the connection with the other gods who were watching the Heavenly Fighting Arena, the Unknown God continued to speak. [What do you want for the reward? A Talent Evolution Crystal? A Talent Upgrade Crystal? Tell me, what do you want] The Unknown God acted generous and if Leo didn''t know about his character, he would have easily mistaken him for a magnanimous god. "I have a Super Special Talent. Can..." [Sorry. I can''t even help you with the Special Talents not to mention Super Special Talents that were all heaven-defying]. Before Leo could finish his words, the Unknown God interrupted his words and gave a reason why he could not grant him that reward. ''Then why do you bother to say such grand words like ''What do you want for a reward?''.'' Leo scoffed at the Shiny Orb in his heart and was about to ask for something that could help him increase his strength. "I want the Fragments..." [Since you have a Golden-grade city and it is growing very rapidly, I suggest you take the Talent Awakening Crystals that could bless your citizens with additional talents without any side effects] Just like before God stopped Leo''s words and without waiting for Leo''s reply, he continued to speak. [I know you will make the right choice. Because of you, I earned some spare units of the God Essence. Hence, I will double your reward. It will be added to your storage ring after you leave the Heavenly Fighting Arena]. ''What?'' Leo frowned when he heard the Unknown God''s words. In the next second, the Unknown God teleported Leo, Void Dragon King and Morgan''s corpse back to the ce where they were fighting earlier. ''What the hell!'' Even though Leo was not excited about the rewards of winning the fight from the beginning, he felt the Unknown God was overdoing things. ''Did he really think that I would give him some big reward?'' Looking at Leo''s facial expression, the Unknown God could not help but chuckle evilly as he continued thinking, ''Even though I gave him double the reward as I promised, it is useless in the short term.'' ''Moreover, the world assessment will start in three weeks. No matter what, the reward is useless for him...keke.'' ''But I never expected this brat to win the fight as I am very confident that the Dragon God''s apsotle will win the fight. Because of that, I overlooked the fact that the gods could exchange the God Essence for world tickets.'' Suddenly, his evil smile came to an end when he thought that Leo was able to impress the other gods by killing the Dragon Summoning Hero. ording to the Unknown God''s n, the Dragon Summoning Hero would win the fight and since he was the Dragon God''s apostle, with his temper, he would not tell anyone to bless the position of the temporary apostle, not to mention a world ticket. ''Anyway, at most he could only use two world tickets in three weeks and if he was not careful, he might even die in the foreign world.'' With that thought in his head, the Unknown God stopped focusing on Leo and looked over the other worlds he was in charge of. *** Dragon = 1 Bonus Chapter. Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters.

Chapter 366 Using The [Cultivation Swallowing Ability] For The First Time In some unknown realm, [Damn it¡­damn it¡­damn it] A golden-haired man was cursing at his luck as he muttered, [How can this happen? Just¡­how?] [I thought I finally found the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg but it disappeared with the death of my temporary apsotle¡­what a fool! He can''t even kill that brat] He was none other than the Dragon God that was sponsoring the Dragon Summoning Hero. Initially, he saw the potential in Morgan and his talent. Hence, he decided to take him as his temporary apostle and as long as he was satisfied with Morgan, the Dragon God decided to make him his permanent. However, the moment Morgan became his temporary apostle, the Dragon God found an invaluable treasure hiding inside his body. Morgan didn''t even know that he had an ancient god''s egg inside his body until he formed a temporary apostle of the Dragon God who helped him understand the value of the egg. If he had known earlier, Morgan would have not formed the temporary apostle; however, it was toote for me. Moreover, with the Dragon God''s help, he would have not even known about the existence of a powerful egg inside his body. [I helped him to sense the egg inside his body and was having high hopes for him but¡­everything was destroyed because of that brat] Whenever he thought about the death of Morgan, the Dragon God was unable to control his anger. What''s more, he even lost 1000 units of the God Essence that he put on Morgan''s win. In short, today was the unluckiest day the Dragon God had experienced after he ascended to Godhood. [This brat is from the nameless human world. I will make him regret killing my temporary apsotle] Unlike the other Gods who didn''t have the clue about Leo''s native world, the Dragon God knew about it as one of his remnant spirits saw Leo in one of the [Treasure Lands] in that world. Moreover, the Dragon God could also tell that Leo was from the same world as Morgan. So, he didn''t waste any time as he started his preparations to watch over the world. As long as he watched it, the Dragon God was confident in making things difficult for Leo. [Just you wait¡­I aming for you] Even though the Dragon God could not enter the human world to kill Leo, he could make things difficult for Leo. [Unlike before, I have to get permission from Him and since he hates the human world, I know how to gate his permission] Since the Unknown God didn''t want the human world to pass the world assessment, the Dragon God would use that to his advantage to get permission to watch over that gradeless world. ...¡­ In the Gradeless Human World, "Leo" ''Roar'' Seeing Leo appear in the same ce where he disappeared, Shawn and Leo''s beast followers rushed towards him. "I am alright!" Leo didn''t know much about his beast followers; however, he knew Shawn valued Leo''s life more than his own. Looking at the worried look on Shawn''s face, Leo said he was alright with a slight smile on his face. "As long as you are alright, it''s good." Shawn nodded his head and looked at the Void Dragon King in the distance and then Morgan''s corpse. "He died much earlier than I thought." Shawn revealed a slight smile as hemented on Morgan''s death. "Huh?" Leo raised his brows; however, he didn''t think much about it as he hurriedly rushed towards Morgan while keeping an eye on the Void Dragon King. The Void Dragon King was looking at the sky with a longing look in his eyes as though he was missing something. ''I wonder what''s his problem?'' Leo muttered to himself as he thought that the moment they teleported back, the Void Dragon King would try to attack him. However, to his surprise, it was lost in his thoughts. ''Ding, The needs to be within 100 meters to understand the thoughts of the beast using your [Godly Beast Tamer]. ''Huh? I can hear the thoughts of the Dragons?'' Leo already knew about the passive effect of the [Godly Beast Tamer]; however, when he was fighting the dragons earlier, he was unable to hear any thoughts from the dragon. Hence, he concluded that he could not hear the thoughts of the Dragons that were summoned by Morgan. So, when he heard the sudden system notification, Leo was slightly surprised; however, his focus was not on the Void Dragon King; instead, it was on Morgan''s corpse. ''Since the Void Dragon King is not attacking, I will wrap up the things with Morgan''s corpse before dealing with the Void Dragon King.'' With that thought in his mind, Leo rushed toward Morgan''s corpse. [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy] [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] [Cultivation Swallowing Abiltiy] Morgan''s body was a treasure trove for Leo as he could not only retrieve his talent, and bloodline but also his supreme rank cultivation. Therefore, without wasting any time, Leo used his three system abilities at once on Morgan''s body to extract three different things from his body. Soon, a golden crystal, a blood drop and a small golden orb appeared above Morgan''s body and except for the golden crystal, the remaining two things entered into his body. ''Gulp'' As for the Golden Crystal, Leo manually swallowed it without any hesitation because it was a super special talent. Moreover, he could not give that golden crystal to others anyway. ''Ding, The host awakened a super rare talent [Dragon Summoner]. ''Ding, The host awakened the bloodline [Ancient Dragon God''s Bloodline]. ''Ding, The host retrieved high-quality supreme-ranked cultivation from a target. ''Ding, Do you want to rece your existing cultivation? Or do you want to merge your newly swallowed cultivation with your existing cultivation? Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his body as Leo''s body waspletely covered in a golden halo. ''Ding, Please select a choice for your cultivation. The golden halo didn''tst for long as it disappeared in a few moments and the moment it disappeared, the system asked him about his choice regarding the newly swallowed cultivation. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 350 Golden Tickets. Chapter 367 Cultivation Ability: Star Cultivator ''Ding, Please select a choice for your cultivation. ,m ''I don''t have the cultivation technique for Dragon Cultivation. So, it is better to focus on merging it with my Starlight Cultivation.'' Even though the Starlight Cultivation was not as good as the Dragon Cultivation, he had a pretty good cultivation technique for the Starlight Cultivation. Moreover, that cultivation technique could be upgradeable. There was no reason for Leo to rece his cultivation with the Dragon Cultivation. ''I choose to merge the cultivation.'' ''Ding, Merging the newly extracted Dragon Cultivation with the host''s level 9 Starlight Cultivation. As soon as he selected his choice, Leo''s entire body was covered in two different lights. One was golden which represents the energy from the Dragon Cultivation whereas the other light was purple which represents the energy from the Starlight Cultivation. At the same time, Leo felt those two energies were soothing his body and soul, making him quite good. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has broken through to the Level 1 Supreme Rank. ''Only Level 1 Supreme Rank?'' Leo frowned when he saw his cultivation had increased to only level 1 supreme rank. Actually, he was already at level 9 and he had swallowed the high-quality supreme-ranked dragon cultivation so, Leo was expecting his cultivation would reach level 5 supreme rank in the least. However, in the next second, he received two system notifications. ''Ding, The Special Starlight Refining Cultivation Technique is using the excess energy from the Dragon Cultivation to upgrade it. ''Ding, The Cultivation Technique has been upgraded to Silver Grade. Please check the changes in the [Cultivator''s Interface]. ''What? It upgraded just like that?'' The energy from the dragon cultivation he extracted was notpleted yet as the system continued to inform more and more changes brought by the Dragon Cultivation. ''Ding, The host''s all side cultivation techniques are upgraded to level 9. 1) Starlight Rapid Fists (level 9), (Attack). 2) Starlight Steps (level 9), (Movement). 3) Starlight Golden Armour (level 9), (Defence). 4) Starlight Severing Sword Strike (level 9) (Weapon). Of course, his sword cultivation technique had already upgraded to level 9 when he became a level 9 starlight cultivator. So, with the excess energy, only the remaining three side cultivation techniques were upgraded. ''Ding, Congrattions on bing a supreme-ranked cultivator. The host awakened his first cultivation ability: Star Cultivator. ''Huh? Cultivation Ability?'' In a short time, Leo gained so many things; however, thistest system ability was not within Leo''s expectations. Originally, Leo didn''t have much knowledge about cultivation and everything that he gained through cultivation was a surprise for him. ''Let''s see what is the use of this so-called cultivation ability.'' Even though his side cultivation techniques were upgraded, Leo was not much interested in them as he wouldn''t use them when he had a wide range of talents and skills. However, the cultivation ability [Star Cultivator] was different as it piqued his interest. Hence, he checked the information on it. ''Ding, Cultivation Ability: Star Cultivator. Effect: For each level in the supreme-ranked cultivation, a new star will appear in the host''s dantian and each star will have a specific effect that can be used by the host in an actual fight. ''Ding, The system detected the host has reached supreme rank in both the [Hero''s Path] and the [Cultivation Path]. ''Ding, The host can''t use his [Cultivation Strength] while using the [Hero''s Strength] and vice-versa. ''Huh? A star will appear in my dantian? I can''t use my [Cultivation Strength] and [Hero''s Strength] at the same time?'' Leo frowned when he saw the new condition where he could not use the strength from both paths at the same time. ''It''s not a big issue. I am only cultivating because it refreshes my mind and when ites to strength, my [Hero''s Strength] is more than enough.'' Leo didn''t think much about it; however, he was curious about the star in his dantian Hence, he checked his dantian and found a grain-sized purple-coloured star. ''Ding, First Star - Increases the attack power by +100 percent for all the cultivation techniques and the raw strength when using the [Cultivator''s Strength]. ''+100 percent? What if I create more stars? And what if I be a Legend Grade Cultivator?'' When he thought about it, Leo felt the [Cultivation Path] was not as weak as he thought it was. ''Anyway, to increase my cultivation, I just need to swallow others'' cultivations. So, I can still increase it whenever I get the time and opportunity.'' With that thought in mind, Leo stopped checking his [Cultivator''s Interface] as he opened the [Hero Interface] to check the details on his new talent and the bloodline. ''Ding, Talent Name: Dragon Summoner (Mortal Grade - Level 1). Talent Type: Super Special Talent. Effect: The user can randomly summon a dragon which has a strength that is varying from rank 1 to 9. Cooldown: One Year Note: The cooldown for the special talents can be reduced by the special effect of the Fragments of the God Stones. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Ancient Dragon God''s Bloodline (Level 1). Effect: Upon activation, the strength of the user and all the dragons within a 100 meters radius will receive a boost of three levels in the [Mortal Grade] for 30 minutes. Note: 1) It can increase the strength of those dragons in the supreme grade by only one level for 30 minutes. ''They are good.'' Leo already knew more or less the information about the bloodline and talent. So, he was not surprised by it. ''Should I test my new talent?'' Since there was one-year cooldown for the talent [Dragon Summoner], it was no use in dying his summoning a dragon, Therefore, Leo decided to use it. ''Ding, The host activated his super special talent [Dragon Summoner]. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a huge portal opened in front of Leo, making him a little excited. ''From the size of the portal, I think I will get a powerful dragon.'' Even though Leo knew he could only get a level 9 dragon with the current level of his talent, he was hoping his [Incredible Luck] from before would make some miracles. ''Swoosh'' However, in the next second, Leo saw a small dragon fly out of the portal with a body full of injuries. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for summoning a level 1 Grey Dragon. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 368 [Bonus Chapter] New City Leader Of The [Dragon City] ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for summoning a level 1 Grey Dragon. ''Grey Dragon?'' Leo shook his head in disappointment when he heard the dragon he summoned because he knew a thing or two about the Grey Dragons. They were the weakest ss among the dragons and their potential would let them be at most a peak Supreme rank dragon. As for bing the Legend rank dragon, even if it encounters a fortuitous encounter, its chances of bing a legend rank dragon are very less. ''I will just try to nurture it along with my other beasts. As for whether it could be a legend-rank dragon or not, it entirely depends on its luck.'' Leo saw that the grey dragon was only one meter in size with its body covered in injuries, it struggled to fly towards Leo and fell in front of him. ''Rrr'' The Little Grey Dragon raised its head and looked at Leo with a grateful look before losing consciousness. ''Sigh¡­I was expecting some powerful dragon but I got a weak and injured dragon.'' With a sigh, Leo picked the grey dragon and used [Elemental Healing] to heal its injuries. Generally, Leo would not bother keeping many expectations on his [Dragon Summoning] talent; however, he thought his [Incredible Luck] could create some miracles. ''It looks like my [Incredible Luck] has disappeared after leaving the Heavenly Fighting Arena.'' After keeping aside his thoughts, Leo looked at the Void Dragon King in the distance who was still looking at the sky without a care for its life. ''I wonder what¡­'' ''Rumble'' Leo thought to be within his [Godly Beast Tamer] talent''s range and hear the Void Dragon King''s thoughts; however, there was a rumble in the sky. ''What now?'' Leo frowned as he could tell it was not a natural thunder rumbling. [The city leader of one of the five Offical Cities in your world has died. As per the rules, the killer of that city leader will get the full rights.] The familiar voice of the Unknown God resounded in Leo''s ears. ''He has a city?'' Leo was slightly surprised; however, he felt that Unknown God was being generous to give a city to him just like that. [Since you already have your own city, you can''t be the city leader for that city] ''And here ites.'' Leo was already having some doubts regarding the Unknown God and he didn''t bother to say anything other than listening to him. ''No matter what I say, he will do what he wants to do and it is not a good thing for me.'' With that thought in mind, Leo looked at the sky from where the light rays were falling on him. [The grey dragon is quite suitable for that city since it has a city hall that could raise the perks for the dragon. Let''s make your Grey Dragon the city leader¡­congrats, young man, I hope you can pass the world assessment¡­keke.] Just like before that Unknown God disappeared without waiting for Leo''s reply and even if heard Leo''sint, he was not the type to listen anywhere. ''However, where did he get that grey dragon from? I am pretty sure that I didn''t release any dragons into that world yet.'' After retracting his gaze from the world, the Unknown God thought about the appearance of the Grey Dragon. Even though it belongs to the weakest ss among the dragons, the Unknown God knew he was keeping all types of dragons for world assessment. ''Does that dragon belong to the brat that god killed? Who cares? It is only a level 1 grey dragon anyway.'' Since there was a Void Dragon King that Morgan summoned before he died, the Unknown God assumed the Grey Dragon was also summoned by Morgan. Nevertheless, he didn''t care much about it as it was the weakest dragon with limited potential. Of course, the reason why the Unknown God was unable to see Leo summoning the Grey Dragon himself was that the system had created a barrier while Leo was summoning it. Therefore, he was not aware that Leo had already swallowed Morgan''s talent and even used it. ¡­. ''This b*stard is testing my patience again and again.'' Leo clenched his fists at how the Unknown God was doing whatever he wanted. ''Just you wait. When I be powerful enough to y the Gods, you will be the first one I wille after.'' Leo silently swore to himself as he looked at the unconscious Grey Dragon in his embrace. ''It looks like that b*stard thinks he had won by making you the city leader of the Dragon City. Let''s make him regret what he did today.'' Leo revealed an evil smile as he already started devising a rough n to make the Grey Dragon powerful. ''If I can get that talent, I can easily nurture it.'' The first thing that came to Leo''s mind when he thought of ''How to make your dragon powerful'' was talent. That''s right! The talent of the leader of the ''League of Beast Masters'' could help the user see the evolutionary paths of the beasts and the monsters. ''It looks like I have to make slight changes to my original ns.'' Whenever Leo makes a n, he would devise those ns in such a way that they could be easily modified in the middle. He had no idea about the ''League of the Beast Masters'' until he entered the [Treasure Land], so, he had to add it into his n now. ''I still have a [God Ruins] and a [Treasure Land] to explore; however, before I do that, it is better to return to the city and upgrade my special talents to the supreme grade.'' Leo silently thought in his head and at the same time, he wondered, ''What should I do with this dragon?'' Soon, Leo moved closer to the Void Dragon Dragon while asking Shawn to stand back. ''I want to go back to my family¡­.Dragon God, I will do whatever you ask me to do¡­please. Are you hearing my thoughts? Dragon God¡­Dragon God.'' *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 369 [Dragon Egg Incubator] ''...'' Hearing those thoughts, Leo remained silent for a moment before asking the Void Dragon King, "Which world are you from?" "..." The Void Dragon King looked at Leo for a moment and ignored him. "Fine¡­whatever." Leo shook his head and wanted to say something but he chose not to say anything. ''I will just let it live.'' After hearing the Void Dragon King''s thoughts Leo decided to not kill it. With the help of his new title [Dragon yer], Leo could deal 25 percent additional damage to the dragons. Moreover, the effects can bebined with his talents and skills. Hence, if Leo wanted to kill the Void Dragon King it would be a piece of cake for him with the help of the [Dragon yer] and [Nether Domain]. Nevertheless, Leo decided not to kill the Void Dragon King after thinking for a moment. ''Ding, The host''s [City Conquering Tab] has generated a reward for gaining another subsidiary city. ''Even if I forget about these rewards, System will not forget.'' With the sudden appearance of the system notification, Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile and checked the reward. ''Ding, The host received a special item [Dragon Egg Incubator]. ''Ding, Item Name: Dragon Egg Incubator. Use: As the name suggests, it can help in estimating the incubation time for eggs and ways to hatch them faster. The number of Avable Slots: One. ''Is it because of the egg I have in my body? But I don''t know whether I can bring it out of my body.'' Leo felt the reward was what he needed now; however, he didn''t know whether it can be used to hatch the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg. ''Ding, Do you want to use the [Dragon Egg Incubator] to hatch the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg? ''Huh? Yes.'' Leo raised his brows for a moment; however, he still nodded his head. If he could speed up the growth of the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg and hatch it, his path of killing the gods would be much easier. Hence, Leo didn''t think much while agreeing to the system notification. ''Ding, The Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg is ced inside the [Dragon Egg Incubator]. Soon, Leo checked a new space that appeared above his dantian in which the egg was settled. Leo named it ''The Secondary Dantian because it has an individual space inside it just like his Starlight Dantian. Inside his secondary dantian, a ck-coloured ancient-looking egg was floating in the mid-air. Around that egg, there was a goldenyer that appeared after Leo used the [Dragon Egg Incubator]. ''So, the goldenyer around it can nurture the egg.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he received another two system notifications. ''Ding, Incubation period: 999 Days. ''Ding, The host can use Starlight Energy or any type of energy including the blood of at least King-level supreme-rank beasts to decrease the incubation period. ''Ding, Depending on the quality of the energy and the strength of the beasts from which blood is provided, the number of days in the ''Incubation Period'' will decrease. ''999 days? Nearly three years¡­it is very long; however, thanks to the [Dragon Egg Incubator], I can speed up its hatching time.'' Even though three years was long, Leo was confident that he could hatch it in a few months of time. ''If I can get more dragon energy from the dragon cultivation, it can increase the hatching speed, right?'' Between Starlight Energy and Dragon Energy, dragon energy is high-quality energy. Moreover, Dragon Energy is the most nutritious thing for a dragon egg. Hence, Leo thought he should enter the grade 1 dragon world where he could not only have the chance of finding the dragon cultivator but could also find powerful dragons whose blood is equally important for the Egg''s hatching speed. However, for now, Leo didn''t have world tickets to any dragon worlds because the Dragon God was unable to bless him for some reason. ''If only I still have that [Incredible Luck], it would have been nice.'' Suddenly, Leo thought about the luck he was blessed with in the [Heavenly Fighting Arena]. ''I still don''t know where I got that [Incredible Luck] but if my guess is correct, it must be from one of the effects of the [Heavenlu Fighting Arean].'' However, when he thought about the Unknown God, Leo rejected that thought and in the end, he concluded, ''I think one of the gods secretly blessed me with some luck without system noticing it.'' Since the Unknown God was oblivious about his [Incredible Luck], Leo felt that god must be more powerful than the Unknown God that even the system was unable to notice it. Even though it was temporary, Leo benefited from it a lot as he not only got six undead dragons with sentience but, he got a new system ability with only five fragments of the god stones. ''Anyway, I should go back to the city andplete the mission [Mighty Supreme].'' With that thought in mind, Leo nned to return to Golden Hawk City; however, he paused and looking at Shawn asked, "Did you figure out about your second talent?" While asking Shawn about his second talent, Leo used the [Hero Assessment] to check Shawn''s information. The reason why Shawn decided to leave Leo and his group was that Shawn thought that his second talent was the reason Leo and his group were continuously encountering near-death situations. Therefore, he left them and swore to return to them only when he figured out his second talent. Since Leo had a city and was nning to bring Shawn to it, he asked Shawn about it because if Shawn didn''t figure out his talent, then he would decline his invitation to the Golden Hawk City. "I didn''t get aplete idea; however, I got a rough understand of it during my survival for thest few years." Shawn replied with an excited smile and at the same time, Leo saw Shawn''s [Hero Assessment], only to get shocked. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets.

Note: After a lot of struggle, the user was able to get it under control but still he is a noob and far from using the full potential of his talent.

Note: There is a small chance for the opponents of that cursed person to be extremely lucky during their fights with that cursed person. ''One special talent and two super special talents?'' It was Leo''s first time seeing someone other than him have two super special talents along with a special talent. "During thest few years, I awakened a new talent and my existing talent evolved into [Treasure Halo]." As Leo was shocked to see the information about Shawn, Shawn continued to speak, "Also, I managed to get my second talent under control. So, I decided to stay with you and others to help you be stronger." When they became free from very, Leo and others focused more on increasing their strength and at that time, they didn''t know Shawn''s first helped them in finding the rare items As for the second talent, they didn''t know its effects back then; however, because of that same talent, they were about to encounter some tough situations and after sessfully passing them, they grew a little more powerful. In just less than a month, Leo and his gang were able to be level 3 heroes whereas Leo became level 4. Back then, it was very fast for Leo and others. Since Shawn learned how to control his talent now, Shawn decided to return to the gang and help them give the boost they need. "Dominic and others will be happy to see you." Leo didn''t mind taking Shawn back with him. Even if it was not under control, Leo would have not abandoned him because Leo didn''t mind going through the disasters and getting rewards in return. ''He has suffered alone all these years, he needs toe back into the group.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he took out the scroll. It was none other than City Returning Scroll. ''Paar'' Without wasting any time, Leo tore the City Returning Scroll and soon a portal appeared in front of him. "Shawn, let''s go to our home." For Leo and others, the Golden Hawk City is their home and Shawn was originally one of them, naturally, it was his home too. Soon, Leo, Shawn, and the beast followers entered the portal and returned to Golden Hawk City. ... [Do you want to return to your home?] ''Dragon God? Yes¡­ I want to go.'' A few minutes after Leo and others left, the Void Dragon King suddenly got a response from the Dragon. From the moment the Void Dragon King was teleported from the Heavenly Fighting Arena, there was only one thought in its head and it was to return to its family. So, it was continuously calling the Dragon God, who seemed like he abandoned it for notpleting the task given by him. Hence, when it heard the Dragon God''s reply, the Void Dragon King finally saw some hope and without any hesitation, it nodded its head. [You didn''tplete the previous task I gave; however, I will give you another chance. As long as youplete it, you will not only be returning to your world but I will make you my temporary apostle. As for bing a permanent apostle, you have to earn it bypleting more tasks for me in the future] ''Of course, I will do whatever the Dragon God asks me to do without any hesitation.'' The Void Dragon King became hopeful and asked, ''But, will my family be safe until I return?'' [Idiot¡­I will make sure to protect them until youplete your mission] ''Thank you, Dragon God.'' The Void Dragon King felt grateful for Dragon God''s assurance regarding his family and swore to do whatever the Dragon God asks him to do. With an evil smile on his face, the Dragon God started exining the mission that the Void Dragon King had to do. [Did you understand everything?] ''Yes, Dragon God.'' [Good. Now, go and find him andplete the mission. The sooner youplete, the sooner you will return and the greater your rewards will be]. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Void Dragon King looked at the location where Leo used his City Returning Scroll to return to the Golden Hawk City. ''I can find where he went using the residual spatial fluctuations here.'' With that thought in its head, the Void Dragon King started focusing on the residual spatial fluctuations. [As long as the Void Dragon Kingpletes the mission, I canplete my revenge on that brat who killed Morgan] The Dragon God was confident in Void Dragon King giving its best inpleting the mission. [It will take some time before the Void Dragon Kingpletes its mission. Until then, I have to find where the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg is] With that thought in mind, the Dragon God stopped watching the human world because the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg will teleport to a different world after losing the connection with its apostle. Therefore, he didn''t bother wasting his time checking for the egg in the same world and started checking the worlds close to this nameless human world. .... In Golden Hawk City, [The Dragon God watched this world for a moment and talked with the Void Dragon King for a moment before stopping watching] ''Huh?'' Leo was surprised by the sudden system notification and thought, ''It looks like he is plotting something for me.'' *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 371 Upgrading The Special Talents ''Let''s see what he is nning.'' Leo was not bothered too much about the Dragon God or the Void Dragon King because the Dragon God could not descend onto the human world. As for the Void Dragon King, Leo was confident to kill it with the help of his new title [Dragon yer]. Therefore, Leo stopped worrying about them and focused on all the items he gained recently from the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Land]. Aftering back to Golden Hawk City, Leo gathered all his friends and followers who were happy to meet their old friend Shawn. Next, everyone started giving all the items they got from exploring the [God Ruins]. In just 10 days, Dominic and others explored almost all the [God Ruins]. Actually, they only spent a couple of hours exploring the [God Ruins] and most of their time was consumed by their travelling. However, thanks to the city returning scroll, they were able to instantly return to Golden Hawk City, saving a lot of time. "Victor, tabte all their contributions during the recent exploration of the [God Ruins]. Depending on that, let''s reward them." Leo had already decided to reward his followers and the citizens depending on their contribution to the city. Of course, just increasing their strength also gives them contribution points. "Yes, Master." The Shadow Vampire King had used the mini evolution crystal to evolve into the Dark Vampire King and at the same time, he had sessfully be a supreme-ranked vampire. Hearing Leo''s orders, Victor nodded his head and started collecting all the data from the group leaders. "I will take a small break. After you note down the individual contribution points for everyone, inform me." After saying those words, Leo went to his room and ordered the system, ''System, show me all the items I have in my storage ring.'' Leo had gained so many items than he thought from exploring all the [God Ruins]. Moreover, his followers had not used any resources they received from the [God Ruins] except for a few that they needed to use to save their lives. ''Ding, 1) Fragments of the God Stones: 39 (Old: 4 and New: 35). 2) Basic Upgrade Stones: 1000. 3) Elite Upgrade Stones: 500 4) Advanced Upgrade Stones: 100. 5) Special Upgrade Stones: 10. 6) Beast Eggs (rank 7 - 9): 30. 7) Monster Eggs (rank 7-9): 30. . . . Soon, the system projected a huge holographic screen that was filled with so many items; however, Leo had his eyes on only three items. They are: Fragments of the God Stones, Advanced Upgrade Stones and the Special Upgrade Stones. ''For now, let''s only use the Advanced Upgrade Stones.'' Compared to the Special Upgrade Stones, Advanced Upgrade Stones were not rare. Therefore, Leo decided to use them to upgrade his peak rank 9 talents. ''It''s time to upgrade them.'' Without wasting any time, Leo opened his [Hero''s Interface] and focused on the peak level 9 talents that he was nning to upgrade for his [Mighty Supreme] mission. [Space Maniption] ''Ding, The special talent [Space Maniption] has met all the upgrade requirements. ''Ding, Consuming five Advanced Upgrade Stones and upgrading the talent [Space Maniption]. ''Ding, Please wait for a few minutes for the upgrade toplete. He started his upgrade mission with the [Space Maniption] and while it was upgrading, Leo didn''t waste any time and continued to upgrade the remaining talents. [Tri-coloured Poison Tornado] [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] [Spatial Triple sh] [Metal Maniption] [Water Maniption] ''Ding, Please wait for a few minutes for the upgrade toplete. Except for the [Mighty Bull Tamer], [Call of the Lightning] and [Heavenly Fire Purgatory], Leo upgraded all the special talents. ''Since I have the [Goldly Beast Tamer], there is no need to upgrade the [Mighty Bull Tamer] any longer.'' Leo has a reason for why he didn''t upgrade those three talents. The first talent, he was nning to bless one of his followers who could bring out the talent''s true potential. As for the remaining two, he was nning to increase their potential manually. So that he could meet two requirements for upgrading the [Talent Promoter]. ''I want the [Talent Promoter] to reach the supreme grade as soon as possible as I could not wait to see what kind of effects it can unlock.'' Even though Leo didn''t know exactly what type of effect will be unlocked when the [Talent Promoter] reaches the supreme grade, he had some rough guesses. One, it might unlock an effect where I see the evolution requirements for the talents. Two, it might be able to upgrade the talent level of his followers and friends using the [Promote Points] and the [Supreme Promote Points]. Three, it was none other than having the ability to upgrade the Super Special Talents. ''I am hoping at least one of these three abilities will be unlocked after I upgrade the [Talent Promoter].'' Leo had good expectations on the [Talent Promoter]; however, in the next second, he thought, ''Anyway, it is still at level 8 and it will take some time to upgrade to the supreme grade.'' Leo shook his head as he waited for his talents to finish their upgrade. ''Swiish'' Suddenly, the grey dragon that was sleeping on his bed woke and rushed into Leo''s embrace. "It looks like your injuries are all healed." Leo thought the grey dragon was feeling attached to him because he had summoned it when it was about to die. He checked the injuries on the grey dragon and said to it with a slight smile. ''Nods'' Even though the grey dragon was only level 1, its eyes looked quite intelligent and when it heard Leo''s words, it nodded as though it understood what Leo was saying. Generally, level 6 beasts don''t have much intelligence. So, Leo felt the level 1 grey dragon in his embrace was quite special. "Since you will be taking a great role in teaching that Unknown God a lesson, I will nurture you as much as possible." With that thought in mind, Leo ced his hand on the grey dragon and activated his talent. [Godly Beast Tamer - Potential Raise]. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 372 Little Grey, Little Moon And Little Spidey With his new super special talent [Godly Beast Tamer], not only Leo can hear the thoughts of the beasts and monsters but he could also raise the potential of those beasts. Even though Leo didn''t know how much potential he could raise for a beast, he wanted to test the special effect of that talent on the Grey Dragon. Moreover, the Unknown God had made the level 1 grey dragon as the city leader of the Dragon City and Leo knew what that Unknown God was thinking while he gave the position to the grey dragon. Therefore, Leo decided to make the Unknown God regret his own decision of blessing the grey dragon with the city leader position. [Godly Beast Tamer - Potential Raise]. Without wasting any time, Leo ced his hands on the grey dragon and activated the special effect of his super special talent. ''Ding, The potential of the Grey Dragon is increased from Level 9 Mortal Grade to Level 9 Supreme Grade. ''Ding, The Grey Dragon will receive ten times more experience points until it bes a level 1 Supreme Grade beast. In the next second, two system notifications rang in Leo''s head. The first system notification made Leo''s head shake in disappointment because Leo thought that the grey dragons have the potential to reach the supreme grade on their own. However, the grey dragon he summoned didn''t even have that potential. ''Anyway, I managed to increase its potential to level 9 supreme grade.'' Nevertheless, Leo shook his head and muttered, ''With the additional boost in its experience, it can at least reach the supreme grade faster.'' Since there are around three weeks before the World Assessment starts, Leo was confident in raising the strength of the grey dragon to the supreme grade. ''Even if it is not possible, I have already gained some good and powerful followers in the [Treasure Land] and the [Heavenly Fighting Arena].'' In Treasure Land, other than the five supreme-grade beast followers, he also gained some good supreme-ranked undead beings. Even though they were destroyed by Morgan''s dragons, Leo could always summon them back. In the [Heavenly Fighting Arena], he gained six undead sentient dragons. Even though they were destroyed, Leo could summon them with some minor penalties. Even then, Leo was confident that those undead dragons were powerful enough to help him with the world assessment. ''Not to mention, I have the [Ancient Draong God''s Bloodline] that can increase the strength of the dragons. So, my chances of passing the world assessment increased by a lot.'' Leo was not confident that his world would definitely pass the word assessment because he knew that Unknown God would definitely make things very hard for them. Therefore, Leo nned to increase his strength as much as possible before the world assessment starts so that he could be ready for unforeseen events during the world assessment. ''Grr'' As though it felt the changes inside its body, the grey dragon in Leo''s arms excitedly growled at Leo and licked his face. "I did what I have to do and if you want to be powerful, it depends on how hard you can work." Leo stopped the grey dragon from licking his face and replied to the grey dragon. ''Gur'' The grey dragon nodded its head with a determined look. "Since you look grey, I will call you Grey from now. If you don''t like the name, make a name for yourself with your strength." Leo replied with a calm look to which the grey dragon nodded its head. ''Now, let''s see how I should train it.'' Since the grey dragon was only level 1, Leo had to think of a suitable ce for the grey dragon to farm the experience points to level up. ''Swiish'' As Leo was thinking of a suitable ce for the grey dragon, a pony entered his room through the window. ''Grww'' Seeing the Baby Unicorn, the grey dragon entered into a defensive posture and growled at it. ''Pii'' The Baby Unicorn looked at the grey dragon tilting its head a little and turned around. Seeing that the Baby Unicorn was leaving, the grey dragon loosened its defensive posture; however, in the next second, the Baby Unicorn kicked the grey dragon into one corner of the room. ''Interesting¡­even without its mother''s nurturing, it was able to be a level 4 beast. It looks like this Moonlight Unicorn''s potential was top notch.'' Leo smiled a little and thought of something, "Little Moon, where is your mother?" ''Knock'' "Master, I am here." Unlike the pony, the Mother Moonlight Unicorn lightly tapped on the door with its horn before entering his room. On the end of Moonlight Unicorn''s head, a small three-coloured spider was lying and from time to time, it was basking in the glow emitted by the unicorn horn. "Good. Can you nurture this grey dragon in Dragon City?" Leo briefly exined about Dragon City because asking the Moonlight Unicorn whether she was willing to go to Dragon City to nature the grey dragon. As the city leader of Dragon City, the grey dragon would be better for the grey dragon to stay in Dragon City while increasing its strength. Therefore, Leo decided to send the Moonlight Unicorn to Dragon City. Of course, the tri-coloured spider queen and the baby unicorn would also follow her. "I have no problems doing that, master." Moonlight Unicorn was grateful to Leo and even if it was a difficult thing, she would easily agree as long as Leo orders it. Nevertheless, all she had to do was enter Dragon City to nurture the grey dragon along with the spider queen and her child. "Infernal Dragonborn would apany you to Dragon City. He would take care of the City until the grey dragon bes powerful enough to take over it." Since Infernal Dragonborn has an impure dragon bloodline in his body, Leo felt it would be a good thing for him to stay in the Dragon City. Therefore, he summoned the Infernal Dragonborn and ordered him to go to Dragon City. "Since you have helped me in the [Treasure Land] and helped me in looking after Dragon City, I will reward you with this Supreme Monster Evolution Crystal." With a thought, a shiny red-coloured crystal appeared in Leo''s hand which he tossed at the Infernal Dragonborn who caught it with shaky hands. "After using that, not only will you evolve but your strength will also drastically rise to the next level." Leo informed in a calm tone as he continued, "Also while looking after the city, you need to increase your strength for the uing world assessment." "Yes, master." The Infernal Dragonborn was excited about the supreme monster evolution crystal. So, without wasting any time, he left for Dragon City along with the Moonlight Unicorn and the little beasts. ''With that, I can stop thinking about the Grey Dragon.'' Leo revealed a slight smile and waited for the system to finish the upgrade of his special talents. ''Ding, The host''s special talent [Space Maniption] along with the other special talents has been sessfully upgraded to the Supreme Grade. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with a new title [Mighty Supreme] along with an additional reward. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 373 Mighty Supreme ''Ding, ¡­. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with a new title [Mighty Supreme] along with an additional reward. Soon, Leo received the system notifications, making him nod his head in satisfaction and curious to check the additional reward he got. Of course, before that, Leo didn''t forget to check the effects of his new title [Might Supreme]. ''Ding, Title Name: Mighty Supreme. Effect: When this title is equipped, the host''s battle prowess will be doubled. Note: This title can''t be stacked with the other titles. ''Doubled? It is really mighty supreme.'' Leo''s previous title [Supreme Killer] only gives him an advantage of 10 percent in his battle prowess; however, this new title would be giving him a boost of doubling his battle prowess. Even though it looked like nothing muchpared to his talents, skills and bloodline, one should remember that the effects of the title didn''t have a cooldown. Leo could equip the title for as long as he want and he could even exchange it with a single thought. ''Only if I can merge the titles like the talents, it would have been quite nice.'' Looking at the bunch of titles in his [Hero''s Interface], Leo could not help but think of having the ability to merge the titles. ''Ding, The system has detected the titles with simr effects and decided to unlock a new effect in the [Talent Merging Abiltiy]. ''Really?'' Leo was shocked with the sudden system notification and just when he was about to be excited, he received another system notification that made him speechless. ''Ding, The system is just kidding to see the host''s expression¡­Hehe. ''...'' Leo remained silent for a moment and thought, ''It looks like the recent upgrade has made quite a lot of changes in the system.'' Previously, the system would have not joked with him but now, it was able to and the only possible reason that Leo could think of for such a change was the system upgrade. ''Ding, However, the host can unlock the additional effects for the existing system abilities if he could find the shards of the ability tree. ''And where should I go to find them? The Ability Tree is an item from the legends and it was already a big surprise that I received a shard of the ability from Aurora. I don''t think I can find another one anytime soon.'' Leo shook his head as he knew it was very hard to find and he needed to have the [Incredible Luck] he experienced in the [Heavenly Fighting Arena] to his hands on the shards of the Ability Tree. ''Anyway, I hope I can pass the world assessment and get some shards of the Ability Tree.'' Leo didn''t forget about the Golden Peacock Feather that could multiply his rewards by two to ten. Hence, he thought he might get the shards of the Ability Tree. ''Let''s see what that additional reward is.'' Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the [Title Merging Ability] and checked the ''Additional Reward'' mentioned in the system notification. ''Ding, Additional Reward: Please pick one option from the below. ''Ding, 1) For Super Special Talent: A random supreme-grade upgrade from the list of Super Special Talents. 2) For Special Talent: A random mutation from the list of the host''s Special Talents. 3) For Normal Talent: One random normal talent will be evolved into a special talent and three random mortal-grade talents will be upgraded to Supreme Grade. Soon, a list of options appeared in front of Leo and the system asked him to select one option as his additional reward. ''I can directly reject the third option and as for the second option, it is not bad.'' After reading all these options, Leo already knew which one he needed to select and it was the first one because it is very hard to upgrade the super special talents to the supreme level. However, Leo''s eyes lingered around the second option because it was not bad. ''If I am lucky, a special talent might be mutated into a Super Special Talent and having another Super Special Talent was also not bad.'' However, the chances of a special talent''s mutation leading it to be a Super Special Talent were rare. ''So, be it. I will use the Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal that I got from the [Treasure Land] to evolve a specific special talent into a Super Special Talent.'' After thinking for a moment, Leo thought of the [Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal] which helped Leoe to a conclusion on which option he should pick. ''I select [First Option] that could randomly upgrade one of my Super Special Talents to the Supreme Grade.'' Leo replied to the system and soon, the system started its work. ''Ding, Super Special Talents: Godly Beast Tamer (level 1), Dragon Summoner, (level 1), Talent Promoter (level 8). Note: Only Mortal-grade talents are eligible for the reward. ''Ding, Randomly selecting one of the eligible Super Special Talents. Please wait. ''I hope [Talent Promoter] gets selected.'' Among the three Super Special Talents, his [Talent Promoter] has the highest level; however, Leo was still hoping that the [Talent Promoter] should get selected to be a Supreme-grade talent. Because,pared to the other two super special talents, Leo had great hopes for the [Talent Promoter]. ''Only if I had that [Incredible Luck], I would have not worried too much about it now.'' When he had that [Incredible Luck] which he got from Shawn''s talent, everything went his way and hoped it would have been nice if had the same luck in his current situation. ''Ding, The super special talent [Talent Promoter] has been selected. ''Ding, Upgrading the [Talent Promoter] to the supreme grade, please wait for some time. Soon, the two system notifications appeared, which made Leo jump in excitement and started guessing what type of new effects would be unlocked after the [Talent Promoter]''s upgrade to the supreme grade. *** Comment what type of effect(s) the [Talent Promoter] will have after its upgrade. *** Magic Castle = 3 Bonus Chapters. Next Bonus Chapter at 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 374 Supreme Grade [Talent Promoter] ''While the talent is upgraded, let''s see what that b*stard has rewarded me for winning in the Heavenly Fighting Arena.'' Since the upgradation of the super special talents would take some time to upgrade, Leo decided to check another reward that he forgot to check. ''Even though that b*stard has said he doubled my rewards, I don''t have high hopes on the rewards he blessed me.'' Leo removed all his expectations before checking the items he received from the Unknown God for winning the duel in the Heavenly Fighting Arena. ''Ding, The Unknown God has rewarded the host with 1000 Talent Awakening Crystals that can be used even by those who have already awakened a talent. ''What? 1000 Talent Awakening Crystals?'' Even though Leo didn''t have high hopes for the rewards from the Unknown God, looking at the huge pile of crystals in his storage ring, Leo frowned. ''It is an excellent reward for a city leader.'' Because the 1000 Talent Awakening Crystals were not regr crystal; instead, they could be used by the Heroes that have already awakened a talent or two. ''However, the reason why that b*stard gave me so many talent crystals is because he knew that no matter how hard my citizens or followers work, they are not going to be Advanced Heroes, not to mention Supreme-Grade heroes before the World Assessment starts.'' Leo could easily tell what the Unknown God had been thinking when he doubled Leo''s rewards like a magnanimous god. ''From this, I can tell how confident that b*stard is failing this world from its grade 1 world assessment.'' Leo silently thought in his head, ''However, if this world passes the world assessment, I will be having 1000 heroes who have dual talents. I need to make sure that this world passes the world assessment.'' For Leo, as long as the world passes its world assessment sessfully, then he would be the most powerful hero in this entire world without a doubt. He has the Golden peacock feather to increase his rewards, he would have powerful human followers, beast followers and even monster followers. In short, he would be the ruler of the World. So, Leo clenched his fists and was determined to give his all during the world assessment. ''During the World Assessment, I will activate the Experience Boosters that could increase the experience points for all the citizens from the main city and the subsidiary city by 10 times.'' Even though he has the experience boosters, Leo was not nning to use them now because using them during the world assessment was the best thing to do. Currently, the citizens of Golden Hawk city were receiving 10 passive experience points along with 10 percent extra experience points while using their talents. So, Leo stored the City Experience Boosts for the World Assessment where the entire world would be filled with all types of beasts and monsters. ''Ding, ssification of the 1000 Talent Awakening Crystals: 1) Fighting Talents: 500 2) Defensive Talents: 350 3) Supportive Talent: 150 ''I think it is finally time to create different units depending on the talents.'' Even though there were already some small groups, they were not fixed entirely on the type of talent. They were based on how long they were staying as a group. For example, Dominic has been leading 30 men for thest few years; however, those 30 men didn''t have simr talents. ''At that time, we didn''t have more numbers; however, right now, I have four cities and I can create a good army and powerful army with these talent awakening stones along with my [Talent Blessing Ability].'' Of course, he would only use the [Talent Blessing Ability] for the beasts and monsters under him. ''I should host another meeting with the city leaders in the Spatial Meeting Room soon.'' Soon, Leo decided what he had to do next. ''Ding, The host''s super special talent [Talent Promoter] has been upgraded to the Supreme Grade. Please check the details in the [Hero''s Interface]. Time continued to pass and in a sh a few hours passed and Leo received a system notification that he was waiting for. ''I hope there is one of the effects I am hoping for.'' Without wasting any time, Leo opened the [Hero''s Interface] and checked the information on the [Talent Promoter]. ''Ding, Talent Name: Talent Promoter. Talent Type: Super Special. Talent Grade: Supreme. Effect: 1) The host can see the upgrade requirements of his and his followers'' special talents below the Legend grade. 2) The host can see the upgrade requirements of his and his followers'' normal talents up to level 1 Legend Grade. Soon, the full information about the [Talent Promoter] appeared in front of him and Leo read it carefully. There were only two effects; however, Leo was excited about the changes happening in those effects. ''Finally¡­finally, I can upgrade the talents of others.'' Leo had been waiting for such an effect from the moment he awakened the [Talent Promoter]. So, he was excited to see it. ''I need to start farming for the [Supreme Promote Points] now.'' Once he saw the changes in the [Talent Promoter], Leo only thought of farming for the [Supreme Promoter Points] because [1 Supreme Promote Point = 10000 Promote Points]. ''To make everyone reach the Supreme Grade Heroes, I need to spend billions of [Promote Points]. So, it is better to umte as many as [Supreme Promote Points].'' He could convert a [Supreme Promote Point] into [10000 Promote Points]; however, he could not do the reverse. So, Leo decided to focus only on getting the Supreme Promote Points and with his current strength, killing level 5 supreme beings was not hard. ''I think I should change my ns again.'' Previously, Leo changed his ns to find the Leader of the League of the Beast Masters to get his talent; however, Leo felt it was better to increase the strength of his followers and that he could do it as long as he had enough [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Roar'' Suddenly, a loud dragon roar came from outside the city hall, making Leoe out of his thoughts. ''How did it enter my city?'' Leo guessed who it was from the roar; however, he became serious when he thought about how easily it entered his city. ***** No Targets. Chapter 375 Void Dragon Kings Story Leo''s Golden Hawk City has its stealth mode on and it can''t be seen by the outsiders. Moreover, even the citizens can''t see when they are outside during its stealth mode. Hence, Leo became serious when he heard the familiar dragon roar just outside the city hall. "Who dares to make a scene in front of my master''s house?" A rough voice came from a cave from the distance as Sutin, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant, walked out of his cave. Generally, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant won''t bother toe outside of his cave; however, he sensed some powerful fluctuations suddenly appear in the city followed by a dragon roar. Since City Hall is Leo''s house, Sutin thought to take care of the suddenly appeared dragon in front of the city hall. Currently, Sutin has the strength of level 8 supreme rank and with his special talents, Sutin was confident in taking down the Void Dragon King. "Huh? A Minotaur Tyrant? Interesting." The Void Dragon King was surprised to see Sutin; however, it was not worried too much as it was also confident in defeating the Minotaur Tyrant despite only having the strength of level 6 supreme rank. "Say that what I beat the sh*t out of you." Sutin could sense that the Void Dragon King was not Leo''s beast follower and decided to teach it a lesson. "How did you enter my city?" However, before he could attack, Sutin was stopped by Leo who asked the Void Dragon King in a calm tone with a serious look. For Leo, his city is the safest ce where he could stop worrying about his family while he was on his missions; however, the Void Dragon King opened a portal and appeared in front of the City Hall without his permission. Therefore, it is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. "I havee here not to fight but to request something." As soon as the Void Dragon King saw Leo, it was no longer arrogant and bowed its head with respect before saying those words. "For someone who came to request me something, you sure got manners to barge into my city." Leo scoffed at the Void Dragon King while thinking about the true motive of the Void Dragon King''s visit to his city. "I am really sorry to directly enter your city without your permission; however, I don''t have any other way than to do this." Soon, the Void Dragon King exined how he was able to open the portal from the residual spatialws that were left behind in the City Returning Portal. ''Oh'' Leo finally understood and thought, ''I should be careful when using the City Returning Scroll and Teleportation back to the city.'' At the same time, he also muttered, ''Let''s see what it is nning to do.'' Leo already knew that the Dragon God and the Void Dragon King were in cahoots and were nning something. Nevertheless, he decided to y along with it and see what it is that they were actually nning. "Even though I don''t like it when others enter my city without my permission, I will hear your request before thinking about what I should do to you." Leo said these words to the Void Dragon King before ordering the City Manager Selphie, ''Charge the barrier with extra Hero Coins and make it impossible for the Void Dragon King to escape using its teleportation skills.'' Normally, Golden Hawk City has a permanent barrier that will not let anyone enter the city without Leo and Selphie''s permission. Of course, the powerful supreme-ranked beings could destroy the barrier and forcefully enter the city. However, it was different in the Void Dragon King''s case because it didn''t break the barrier; instead, it used the loophole in the barrier of the city to enter the city using its teleportation abilities. Therefore, Leo asked Selphie to temporarily increase the power of the barrier using the Hero Coins. They could also make it permanent; however, for that, they have to spend a lot of Hero Coins and Leo was not in a hurry to spend all his Hero Coins on the barrier because they still have to buy a lot of items for the main city and even the subsidiary cities. ''I will upgrade the barrier of the main city to the Legend grade and the subsidiary cities to the peak supreme grade before the world assessment starts.'' This was the goal Leo set for himself for the City which he was close to aplishing it with all the Hero Coins he was getting from the [God Ruins] and looting the bodies of the supreme-ranked heroes that he killed in the [Treasure Land]. ''Yes, City Leader.'' Selphie instantly disappeared and started working on the temporary boost of the barrier around the city. "Thank you for giving me a chance, Sir Leo." The Void Dragon King didn''t think there was anything Leo could do to stop it from leaving the city and more importantly, it didn''t think Leo didn''t have the ability to kill it. Nevertheless, it thanked Leo and started exining, "Originally, I was a native of a grade 1 void world; however, due to some external factors, all the powerful heroes of my world were killed andter, without any surprise, my world failed in the world assessment." "I tried my best and protected my family during the world assessment and we eventually survived. Since my world failed the assessment, we were forced to teleport to a grade 2 Dragon World where the lowest level of the natives was level 1 supreme-rank." "Due to that b*stard Dragon Summoner, I was forced to leave behind my family and without me, my family can''t survive for long in that grade 2 world with their strength." "I want Sir Leo to open the portal to that grade 2 Dragon World and send me back." Even though the Void Dragon King was acting, Leo knew whatever the story it narrated to him was real. Thanks to his [Godly Beast Tamer] talent, Leo knew the Void Dragon King was missing its family and would do whatever he wanted to return to his family. ''He is just like me who was willing to do anything to return to his family.'' Earlier, at the ce where he fought Morgan, the reason why Leo decided to let the Void Dragon King live was that it reminded Leo of himself. ''I felt pity for it and wanted to see whether I can help it; however, too bad, it trusts the Dragon God more rather than a human who is weaker than it.'' Even though Leo felt pity for the Void Dragon King, it doesn''t mean that he would be generous enough to help it when it was trying to n something with Dragon God. "So, what can I do about that?" Leo still didn''t understand what the Void Dragon King was nning and asked what he had to do. Even though Leo had the ability to open the portals, he didn''t have the ability to open the portal to the grade 2 Dragon World. So, he asked for it. [The Dragon God has started watching you] ''Huh? That b*stard is also here.'' Leo was not surprised much by the sudden appearance of the Dragon God as he waited for a reply from the Void Dragon King. ***** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 376 Humans Are As Greedy As Dragons Somewhere in the endless space, [Dragon God, you already know I can''t allow anyone to visit a gradeless world.] An ancient voice from a ck mist replied to the projection of a human with golden hair floating in front of him. If Leo were to hear that voice, he could easily tell the ancient voice belonged to the Unknown God who hates the human world and wants to fail it in the uing world assessment at any cost. Currently, the Dragon God was asking for his permission to let him bless a few things to someone in the gradeless world. However, there are rules that no God is allowed to bless the natives of a gradeless world and they have to wait until that world sessfullypletes the world assessment. Moreover, The Ancient Unknown God didn''t want humans to be more powerful. So, he didn''t even bother to listen to Dragon God''s words before rejecting his request. [Sir Administrator, I know you are angry with me and other gods who entered that world to create the cities and leave behind some [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] but you also knew we were forced to enter that world because of that ''Immortal One''] The Dragon God hurriedly came up with an excuse and seeing that the Ancient Unknown God remained silent, he continued to speak because he knew the other party wouldn''t give him any time to speak soon. [He already knew you are making things difficult for the Worlds you are responsible for conducting the World Assessment. So, he helped us sneak into that world. Moreover, we onlypleted half work before you caught us] [So, what are you saying? Do you think I didn''t know you already watched that world a few hours back? Sorry, but I can''t look the other side this time] The Ancient Unknown God rejected the Dragon God''s request. [I am nning to take care of that survivor from the Heavenly Fighting Arena and to do that, you need to let me watch over the world and at the same time, I should be able to give him something] Seeing that the other party was adamant about not giving permission to him, the Dragon God no longer hid his motives and exined what he was nning to do. [As you can tell, that brat Leo or whatever his name, is definitely not normal and he even became a temporary apostle of some god which we were unable to figure out. Are you sure you can let him continue to grow like that? As long as you look the other way, I will quietly take care of that brat] The Dragon God hit the iron while it was still hot to convince the Ancient Unknown God and made it look like he was doing some favour for him. Even though no god was allowed to either watch or bless the natives of the gradeless world, they could be the temporary apostle of the gods through the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Land]. ording to him, Leo became the temporary apostle of some god by that method and the Dragon God used that Leo was mysterious and he might change the ns of the Ancient Unknown God to get permission to watch and bless. [...] The Ancient Unknown God remained silent for a few moments before replying, [I have so many worlds to look after. So, I will leave now ande back to check this world after a couple of hours] As an Administrator, the Ancient Unknown God could not openly collude with the Dragon God; however, he indirectly said that the Dragon God has a couple of hours to take care of whatever he is nning to do. ''Hehe¡­I knew rules mean nothing to this b*stard.'' ? The Dragon God revealed an evil chuckle as he guided his projection to watch over that gradeless world. In most cases, the Gods use either projection or avatars while watching over the specific world because the main bodies would be busy increasing their strength and Godly Prowess. Another reason why they use their projection and avatars was that they consume less energy and they could travel much faster in endless space than their real bodies. Nevertheless, these projections and avatars had their partial Godly Prowess that could watch over the world, make apostles and bless the natives of that world as long as they were close to that world. [I hope that b*stard already paid a visit to that human b*stard] With that thought in his head, the Dragon God''s projection released the golden energy from its body to surround a specific region and that region is where the Void Dragon King''s current Location is. [So, he had already started the n. Good] Soon, he watched over the conversation between Leo and the Void Dragon King in Golden Hawk City. ... Golden Hawk City, [The Dragon God has started watching you] Since Leo had already known that the Dragon God was using the Void Dragon King to n something for him, he was not surprised that the Dragon God had returned to watch him again. ''It looks like he had already convinced that unknown god who is responsible for his world.'' From the Abyssal Demon God in the [Treasure Land], Leo learned that no gods could watch or bless them. Since the Dragon God kept oning to watch him, Leo could only conclude that the Ancient Unknown God was also in cahoots with the Dragon God. "I saw you have taken the Dragon Summoner''s storage ring. ording to what I know, there is a world ticket to my grade 2 world. I hope you can activate it and send me back." The Void Dragon King saw that Leo was calm andposed, it thought Leo had believed its story and said how Leo could help it. "As long as you send me back, I will give you a God Stone and a dozen fragments of the God Stones that I have stored in my treasure cave." The Void Dragon King was indirectly asking Leo to enter the grade 2 world with it. So that, it could properly repay him with the God Stone and a dozen fragments of the God Stones. "What? You have a God Stone and a dozen fragments of the God Stones?" Leo knew what the Void Dragon King was trying to do; however, he was tempted by the items mentioned by the Void Dragon King. "Yes, I do have them and I was originally nning to use the God Stone when I be a level 8 supreme rank to be a level 9 supreme rank; however, right now, I only care about going back." The Void Dragon King nodded its head heavily and in order to make Leo not get suspicious regarding why it was storing such a valuable item, it even gave the reason. ''As expected of the humans, they are just as greedy as us, the dragons. Even though I really have the God Stones and the fragments of the God Stones, there is no way I am nning to give it to them.'' At the same time, the Void Dragon King silently thought in his head which was, of course, heard by Leo with his super special talent [Godly Beast Tamer]. **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 377 Morgans Storage Ring ''Even though it was nning to bring me back to its world, it is not lying about the God Stones and the Fragments of the God Stones.'' After hearing the Void Dragon King''s thoughts, Leo silently muttered to himself before saying, "If there is really a world ticket to your world in the storage ring, I will send you back." After killing Morgan, Leo not only extracted his talent, bloodline and cultivation, but he also took the storage ring. However, he didn''t get the time to go through his spoils of war as he was busy sorting out his other rewards. At the same time, Leo said that he would help the Void Dragon King go back to his world. ''I thought the human would hesitate to enter the grade 2 world because, with his strength, it would be impossible for him to survive for a few minutes in that world.'' On the other hand, the Void Dragon King''s impression of Leo decreased, even more, when it heard Leo''s words and continued to mutter, ''Is a god stone really more valuable than his life? He was already growing at a good pace for a native of the gradeless world.'' At the same time, the Void Dragon King felt pity for Leo for being greedy and that he was willing to risk his life for a God Stone. "However, I am not strong enough to enter the Grade 2 world. So, there is no need to give me anything. I hope you can reunite with your family." A golden-coloured storage ring appeared in Leo''s hand as he replied to the Void Dragon King with a smile. "What?" Hearing Leo''s sudden reply, the Void Dragon King''s jaws dropped and thought, ''T-this human¡­why is so kind that he was willing to use a grade 2 world ticket on me.'' The Void Dragon King was touched by Leo''s kindness as its impression on Leopletely changed. [Dragon God is frowning and wondering what you are nning] It was the same with the Dragon God who wondered what Leo was up to. "Yes. Even though I can use the Grade 2 World Ticket when I am strong enough, I think it is better for you to reunite with your family." Leo maintained an innocent smile on his face as he silently thought, ''Let''s see what that b*stard watching us.'' Leo knew that the Void Dragon King was only following Dragon God''s orders to go back to his family. So, he decided to use the same Void Dragon King to toy with the Dragon God. Therefore, he acted generous and let the Void Dragon King see what kind of person the Dragon God truly is. Even though Leo didn''t meet the Dragon God personally, after seeing how he secretly helped his temporary apostle to win against him in the Heavenly Fighting Arena, Leo knew the Dragon God is a petty person. ''With my current skills, I think I can survive as long as I am careful but since that grade 2 dragon world might be under the Dragon God''s control, I can''t survive after entering the world.'' While checking Morgan''s storage ring, Leo silently thought about why it was risky to enter a grade 2 world. ''Ding, Items inside the Dragon Summoner''s storage ring. 1) Random Grade 1 world ticket x 3. 2) Fragments of the God Stones x 21. 3) Random Grade 2 world ticket x 1. 4) Grade 1 Dragon World x 1. 5) Hero Coins x 100 million. . . There were many things inside the storage ring; however, five types of items were useful for Leo. "I just checked the storage ring; however, there is no world ticket to the grade 2 dragon world." After seeing the items inside the storage ring, Leo was satisfied with the spoils of war; however, he didn''t find the world ticket to the grade 2 dragon world inside the storage ring. "What? Can you please check it again? It should be in it." The Void Dragon King that was excellently acting from the beginning became anxious when he heard there was no grade 2 world ticket to the Dragon World. Without wasting any time, it tried tomunicate with the Dragon God. ''Dragon God, didn''t you say you will put a grade 2 world ticket inside that storage ring?'' [I will put it; however, you should convince him to enter the grade 2 dragon world with you, only then, I can spend my energy to put the world ticket in it] The Dragon god who was watching frowned as he replied to the Void Dragon King. ''But that human, he knew he was weak to enter the grade 2 world. I even tempted him with the God Stone, he was not as greedy as the other humans.'' The Void Dragon King hurriedly replied to the Dragon God. [I don''t know about that. If you can''t convince him to enter the grade 2 dragon world, I can''t put a grade 2 dragon world ticket in the storage ring] It requires a god to spend some energy while blessing the natives of a world. Therefore, the Dragon God was unwilling to waste his God Essence on something that doesn''t yield any benefits for him. ''But¡­'' Suddenly, the Void Dragon King felt hopeless once again because it was the second time that the Dragon God was abandoning him. The Void Dragon King realized that Leo would not enter the grade 2 world because it was dangerous for him and it really can''t force him because the Dragon World was not giving him the world ticket directly to him. So, there was nothing the Void Dragon King could do now. "Don''t worry. If you trust me, I will make sure to send you back to your world; however, it is definitely going to take some time." Leo acted generous again, making the Void Dragon King feel guilty that he was trying to kill the human in front of him who was willing to help him. ''The Dragon God and this human¡­they werepletely different from one another because the human didn''t have the strength to send me back to my home.'' The Void Dragon King looked at Leo and continued thinking, ''Even if he can send me back, it will take quite a long time before that, I don''t think my family can survive.'' The Void Dragon King fell into a dilemma again as it didn''t know what to do anymore. [Let''s do this. There is a grade 1 dragon world ticket in the storage ring. Bring him to the grade 1 dragon world and I will send you back to your world from there] Suddenly, the Dragon God thought of something and ordered the Void Dragon King to bring Leo to a grade 1 dragon world. ''B-but¡­how can I change my words and will he agree?'' The Void Dragon King had already said his family was in the grade 2 world and how could he change his words? Moreover, it felt Leo could easily sense that something was wrong. [It is your problem. If you want to go back to your home,e up with a believable story and bring him to the grade 1 world] The Dragon God didn''t bother to listen to the Void Dragon King and ordered him to bring Leo. ''If I don''t have my family, I would have ignored this b*stard. If I go against him, he might not be able to do anything to me but my family that was in the grade 2 dragon world would be killed by his staunch followers.'' The Void Dragon King felt he could only go with the flow and try to bring Leo to the grade 1 dragon world. ''So, the rtionship between the Dragon God and the Void Dragon King was not as good as I thought.'' On the other hand, Leo was able to listen to the conversation between the Void Dragon King and the Dragon God along with the silent thoughts of the Void Dragon King and started thinking about what he had to do. ''It looks like I can make the Dragon God bleed a little as long as this n works out.'' As usual, Leo was quick with his ns and came up with a n in no time. "I think there is a grade 1 dragon world ticket, right?" "Yes. There is one." "Let''s enter it and I can connect with the Dragon God in that world who can send me back to my world." After thinking for some time, the Void Dragon King came up with a different approach to bring Leo to the grade 1 dragon world. **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 378 Increasing Strength Before A Massacre (1) Since there was no grade 2 dragon world ticket inside Morgan''s storage ring, the Void Dragon King suggested using the grade 1 dragon world ticket. [The Dragon God was impressed with the Void Dragon King''s idea as he looked forward to the host''s reply] ''He is impressed? What if I don''t go?'' Seeing the Dragon God''s actions through the [Thoughts of the Gods], Leo could not help but coldly smile in his heart. "Sure. I can open the portal to the grade 1 dragon world for you to enter; however, I am currently very busy. So, I can''t enter it. I hope you can reunite with your family." With a gentle smile, Leo replied as he took out the grade 1 dragon world ticket from the storage ring. ''...'' Hearing his words made the Void Dragon King feel even more guilty; however, it suppressed those emotions by telling itself, ''Familyes first.'' [Idiot, bring him into the grade 1 dragon world. Promise him that I will give him something] However, the Void Dragon King knew that there was no use in entering the grade 1 dragon world without Leo as the Dragon God would abandon it again. "Sir Leo, I will make sure the Dragon God blesses you with something very rare. For your help, I should at least make you get the blessing from the Dragon God. Can you please apany me to the grade 1 world?" The Void Dragon King used the same tactic as before; however, this time, it silently apologized to Leo in his heart. "Fine¡­fine. I know how you are feeling right now because I have experienced a simr thing in the past. For us, family is everything. I will apany you to the grade 1 dragon world." For Leo, entering the grade 1 world was not a problem because he was already nning to enter the grade 1 world to get the [Supreme Promote Points]. Compared to the regr grade 1 world, Leo felt it would be easier to get the [Supreme Promote Points] in the grade 1 dragon world because the Dragon God would be sending everyone to kill him. ''Even though it is slightly risky to enter the grade 1 dragon world where the Dragon God was aiming to kill me, there is no such thing as safe haven anywhere in this universe.'' Leo was willing to take the risk because as long as he had enough [Supreme Promote Points], he would create an army of supreme-ranked heroes with a single thought. Moreover, for the uing world assessment, it is better to have as many supreme-ranked heroes as possible. "Thank you, Sir Leo. I will definitely ask the Dragon God to bless you with something good." The Void Dragon King heaved a sigh of relief when it saw Leo agreeing and thanked him. At the same time, it silently thought, ''Sorry, human, I hope you can understand my situation.'' [The Dragon God was satisfied with the Void Dragon King''s action and he couldn''t wait for the host to enter the grade 1 dragon world] ''What''s the hurry, b*stard? I aming but do you think I wille without any preparations?'' Leo scoffed at the Dragon God as he replied, "I have a few things to take care of here. Can we enter the Grade 1 dragon world tomorrow?" Since he was going to fight millions or even billions of dragons in the grade 1 dragon world, Leo wanted to wait until his Sentient Undead Dragons could be revived. There were still around 12 hours of cooldown before he could revive them. At the same time, he was yet to use some of the rewards that could increase his strength. Therefore, Leo asked that they should enter the grade 1 dragon world tomorrow. [This b*stard¡­what is he busy with?] [Let it be. Let him rest for today. Tomorrow, he is going to die anyway] [My time to watch this world is over. I will see you in the grade 1 dragon world tomorrow] Since the Ancient Unknown God only gave him a couple of hours to watch over the world, he didn''t have time to watch until tomorrow. Anyway, he was assured that Leo would being to the grade 1 dragon world and he was confident that the Void Dragon King would not mess up. So, he decided to leave for now and wait for them in his grade 1 dragon world. ¡­. Inside Leo''s room, ''Right now, I have enough to go against level 4 supreme-ranked beings and if my opponent belongs to races like Bull, Snake, Spider and Dragon, I can even fight level 6 and 7 supreme-ranked beings without a problem.'' After nning his trip to the grade 1 dragon world for tomorrow, Leo went back to his room and started analyzing his strength. ''But, in a grade 1 world, there would be a few level 8 and 9 supreme ranked beings who might make a problem for me.'' Even though Leo had upgraded around half a dozen special talents to the supreme rank, they were still at level 1 and could not be used to go against the peak supreme-ranked heroes. ''With the help of the [Talent Promoter], I might be able to upgrade that talent for a few levels; however, it will take quite a while because of the other requirements like ''use the talent 10 times or 100 times''.'' ''As for the bloodlines, except for the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] that could make me invincible for one minute, the remaining two bloodlines were useless to go against the peak supreme-ranked heroes.'' Leo shook his head and searched the items in his inventory and finally, his eyes fell on two items that could increase his strength in the shortest possible time. God Stone and Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal. These two items were gained by Leo in the [Treasure Land]. One could increase the level of supreme grade talent by one level whereas the other item could evolve the talent to the next level. ''Using the God stone to upgrade my level 1 supreme grade talent is quite a waste because it is better to use to upgrade a level 8 supreme grade talent.'' Just like the Void Dragon King, Leo felt it was wasteful to use the god stone right now as he muttered, ''If there is a need for the sudden strength, I will just use the God Stone. Hopefully, I don''t encounter such a situation.'' Of course, he would use it if it was a life and death situation to instantly increase the level of his talent. However, for now, Leo didn''t have such thoughts and focused on the second item. ''Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal¡­.except for the super special talents, I can use it on any talents.'' Leo checked the information on it once again before checking his list of supreme-ranked special talents. ''Ding, Supreme-ranked Special Talents: 1) Mighty Combustion. 2) Space Maniption. 3) Metal Maniption. 4) Earth Maniption. 5) Tri-coloured Poison Tornado. 6) Heavenly ming Lion King Transformation. 7) Mega Terra Bull Transformation. 8) Nether Domain. 9) Spatial Triple sh. 10) Water Maniption. ''Now, let''s see which talent I should use the Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal.'' Looking at the list of supreme-ranked special talents in front of him, Leo started his analysis. p **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 379 [Bonus Chapter] Increasing Strength Before A Massacre (2) ''Mighty Combustion has already evolved once and the chances of its evolution will be low. Moreover, it focuses mostly on dealing the high damage. Even if it evolved, I don''t think it will be enough to kill the level 9 supreme-ranked heroes.'' ''I don''t think the Earth Maniption, Metal Maniption and the two transformation talents can be evolved into more powerful talents and even if they were evolved, they might not be helpful for me in surviving the attacks of the peak supreme-ranked heroes.'' . . Leo started eliminating one talent after another and in the end, he was left with two talents that could increase his survival rate. Compared to the ability to kill the peak supreme-ranked heroes, Leo felt it was much easier to focus on the talents that could help him survive the attacks of the peak supreme-ranked heroes. Spatial Maniption could already help him survive against most of the supreme-ranked heroes except for those who could use the spirit attacks. However, Leo was worried that even if there were at least one level 4 or 5 supreme-ranked dragons in the grade 1 dragon world, it would be useless to hide in the [Secret Dimensional Space]. ''I think I should upgrade my other talent since [Spatial Maniption] also has the same constraints as the other maniption talents.'' After thinking for some more time, Leo decided not to upgrade the [Spatial Maniption] because he was sure that there would be a lot of spirit-type dragons in the grade 1 world. Therefore, after much thinking, he decided to upgrade his talent which recently became his favourite. ''I hope it can evolve into a super special talent without any problem.'' As soon as he came to a conclusion, Leo stopped thinking much about it as he directly ordered the system to use the Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal. ''Ding, p Are you sure you want to use the Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal on the special talent [Nether Domain]? The system asked Leo for his final confirmation and Leo nodded his head without thinking much because if he thought again, he was afraid he might change his decision. The problem was that Leo had so many good talents and each of them could be powerful upon sessful evolution. ''I never felt having so many talents would also give me a headache.'' Leo silently thought in his head. [A/N: Author''s inner feeling rubbed onto his character]. ''Ding, The Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal has been consumed. ''Ding, The evolution of the [Nether Domain] is started. Please wait for a few hours. ''There is no going back now.'' Leo felt a little relieved after using the Supreme Talent Evolution Crystal. ''While the [Nether Domain] takes its time to evolve, I will use the remaining points to upgrade my supreme grade talents.'' Leo stopped thinking about the [Nether Domain] and looked at the upgrade requirements of the supreme grade special talents. ''Ding, Upgrade requirements for the special talents (From level 1 to level 2): 1) Use the special talent 10 times. 2) Spend 1000 [Supreme Promote Points]. 3) Three Advanced Upgrade Stones or a Special Upgrade Upgrade Stone. ''As I expected, even though the [Talent Promoter] is upgraded to Supreme Grade, the upgrade requirements didn''t change.'' Leo had already seen the upgrade requirements previously. So, he was not surprised by them. ''If level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 [Supreme Promote Points] and three Advanced Upgrade Stones, I wonder how much the requirements will upgrade in the future?'' Leo was having a bad feeling about it because when the talents are in the mortal grade, Leo uses 1000 [Promote Points] to upgrade them from level 1 to 2. Of course, there were two more additional upgrade requirements. If the upgrade requirements for the supreme grade follow the same pattern as the mortal grade, Leo would need millions of [Supreme Promote Points] for upgrading a single talent to the peak supreme grade. ''Anyway, I will just use the [Supreme Promote Points] and upgrade the normal-type supreme-grade talents.'' Unlike the special talents, the normal talents didn''t have many upgrade requirements and only had one upgrade requirement. ''Ding, Upgrade requirements for the special talents (From level 1 to level 2): 1) Spend 1000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Since I only have one normal-type Supreme-grade talent, I will upgrade it for tomorrow''s expedition.'' Even though Leo had gained the ability to upgrade the talents of his family and friends, Leo was not in a hurry to upgrade them because he was going to the grade 1 dragon world for the sole purpose of gaining as many [Supreme Promote Points] as possible. Therefore, he decided to upgrade his normal-type Supreme-grade talent [Battle Axe Mastery]. ''Ding, The host spent 1000 [Supreme Promote Points] and upgraded the [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 2 supreme grade. ''Ding, The host spent 2000 [Supreme Promote Points]... ''Ding, The host spent 10000 [Supreme Promote Points]....to level 4 supreme grade. Leo spent 13000 [Supreme Promote Points] and instantly upgraded the [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 4 supreme grade. ''However, it requires one hundred thousand [Supreme Promote Points] and I am not rich enough to have that many [Supreme Promote Points].'' Leo shook his head and looked at the remaining 30000 [Supreme Promote Points] in his ount. ''Should I upgrade the special talents?'' Leo has a few Advanced Upgrade Stones that he received from his followers; however, he would feel bad for using them all for himself. Moreover, even if he used them, he would not be strong enough to kill the level 9 supreme-ranked dragons. So, after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and put a hold on his thoughts. ''Knock'' "Boss, are you busy?" Soon, Dominic and the other squad leaders lightly tapped the door of Leo''s room. "Come in." Leo stopped his thoughts and asked them to enter. Soon, Leo saw Dominic, Fletcher and Daniel along with their main squad members that entered Phirie City with Leo in the beginning. Of course, this squad included Shawn too. "What is it? It looks like something important since everyone walked in together." Leo knew it was something important as he asked them about it. "Boss Leo, we heard you are nning to visit the grade 1 world tomorrow." Dominic had a serious expression on his face as he continued, "We want to enter that world together with you tomorrow." "What?" Leo was surprised a little when he heard Dominic''s words; however, when he looked at the serious expression on everyone who entered his room, Leo could tell there was no joking and really serious about it. "Yes. From the beginning, it was always you who were taking all the burdens for us. we know there are powerful dragons in the grade 1 world; however, the stronger the opponent, the faster we grow just like old times.'' "Yes. We want to experience some dangerous situations. There are not many supreme-ranked beasts and monsters in this world." "Of course, if you feel risky, we will listen to you because you have the experience of entering the grade 1 world whereas we don''t." They were serious about entering the grade 1 world; however, if Leo said that it would be very risky for them where they don''t even have the chance to survive, then they would listen to him. "It is very risky; however¡­.I think¡­" **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 380 Gifts For Future "It is very risky; however¡­.I think¡­it''s better to not enter it." Leo had the rough understanding of a grade 1 world after returning from the Beas and the Devil Goliath World. Even though there might be peak supreme-ranked heroes like ming Lion King and the three Devil Goliath Kings, there would not be so many of them. If the Dragon God was not watching him, Leo would have taken them along with him because right now, if he brought them with him, the Dragon God would definitely y dirty which Leo didn''t want. "..." Even though they said that they would not follow him if he said the grade 1 dragon world was risky, they still became a little disappointed. "However, after I return from the grade 1 dragon world, let''s go to a different grade 1 world." Since Leo had a lot of grade 1 world tickets and enough time to visit another world before the world assessment, he promised his followers that he would take them with him. "Alright! We will increase our strength until then." Dominic and others nodded their heads. "Also, I am preparing a gift for you everyone. I will give them after returning from the Grade 1 Dragon World." Currently, he only has 30000 [Supreme Promote Points] which was not enough to upgrade everyone''s talent. So, Leo said he would gift them after returning from the dragon world. "A gift?" Dominic and others were surprised with Leo''s words and wondered what kind of gift he was talking about. "For now, take these small gifts I prepared for you." Leo gave 11 talent awakening crystals that he got from the [Absolute Devour] depending on which talent suits them well. "Th¡­this..we are already awakened, why don''t you give them to those who didn''t awaken and talent." Dominic and others felt it would be a waste to use these talent awakening crystals for themselves and suggested Leo use them on the unawakened people. "Don''t worry. I have something else for them. These talents were specially suitable for you and increase your battle prowess multiple folds." Leo briefly exined, "Also, don''t worry about increasing the experience of that talent because it would be useless for world assessment as you can''t reach a high level." Leo intentionally said that they should not focus on those talents because he was nning to increase those talents to the supreme-grade after returning from the dragon world. ''Not only will their strength increase to the next level but it will be a pleasant gift for them.'' Even though Leo gave them a few items that could boost their strength in the past, the next gift he was nning for them would be on the next level. "I have a small mission for you for the next few days and it is I want 1000 young men who could be loyal to us no matter what situation they are in." Suddenly, Leo thought of something and gave them a minor mission as he continued, "You know what I mean, right? It is time to mass recruit the young man and among them, filter out those who could be easily swayed away by the temptations." "In short, whatever the requirements you have for your squad members, apply all those requirements to them and if possible add even more. I want them." Leo briefly exined a few more things, making Dominic and others understand what he truly wanted before asking them to leave. "Everyone, leave." "Okay." Taking the talent awakening crystals, Dominic and others started leaving the room. However, Leo stopped Shawn and asked him toe forward. "Close your eyes." Since he had 30000 [Supreme Promote Points], Leo decided to spend them on Shawn''s special talent [Treasure Halo]. ''It is a talent that could help Dominic and others in finding some good treasures while thye clear the [God Ruins].'' By now, Dominic and others have cleared most of the [God Ruins]; however, there were still a few of them. So, while they were clearing the [God Ruins], Shawn''s talent might help them find the hidden treasures in them. Therefore, Leo decided to upgrade Shawn''s talent with the current [Supreme Promote Points] he has. ''Ding, The host converted 20000 [Supreme Promote Points] into 200 million [Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host spent 20 million [Promote Points] and upgraded Shawn''s special talent to level 8. ''Ding, The host spent 40 million [Promote Points]...to Level 9. ''Ding, The host spent 100 million [Promote Points] + 100 [Supreme Promote Points] and upgraded the special talent to peak level 9. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo''s head as he spent 160 million [Promote Points] in an instant. On the other hand, Shawn was not sure exactly what was happening to him; however, he could tell that his talent [Treasure Halo] has increased by multiple levels. "Boss Leo, what¡­how did you do that?" Nevertheless, he came out of his shock and asked Leo with great excitement. "One of my talents upgraded after my trip to the [Treasure Land] that lets me improve my other talents and others'' talents." Leo briefly exined it as he already knew sooner orter he had to give some information about it. So, he told the truth about his talent directly. "So, the gift you are talking about¡­" "That''s right! I am nning to upgrade everyone''s talents and pleasantly surprise them; however, for that, I need quite arge amount of energy. That''s why I am going to the grade 1 dragon world." Leo nodded his head and asked him, "Until then, don''t tell anyone about their gift and during the next one week, try to use your supreme grade [Treasure Halo] to find some good treasures." "Huh? Supreme grade talent?" Shawn frowned because he only thought his talent was upgraded to peak level 9. Just as he thought about it, Shawn''s entire body was covered in a golden glow. ''Ding, The host spent the following to upgrade the talent [Teasure Halo]. 1) 100 million Promote Points. 2) 100 Supreme Promote Points. 3) Three Advanced Upgrade Stones. ''Ding, The upgrade will be finished in a few minutes. On the other hand, Leo received the system notification regarding the upgrade requirements for upgrading the [Treasure Halo] to the supreme grade. Soon, the glow around Shawn''s body disappeared following a system notification that informed Leo about the sessful upgrade. "Congrattions for sessfully bing a Supreme Grade Hero." The moment Shawn opened his eyes, Leo congratted him. "Boss Leo, you are basically a god now. Not only can you help others awaken the talents but you can even increase the levels of those talents. With you around, passing the world assessment will be a piece of cake." "Brat, you haven''t changed a bit." Shawn started praising Leo just like how he used to do in the past. Leo shook his head and sent Shawn away while asking him to keep the reason for his breakthrough to the Supreme Grade as a secret from others until he returned. ''I have taken care of all the things for the world assessment and all I have to do now is enter the grade 1 Dragon World and umte as many [Supreme Promote Points] as possible along with new talents, skills, bloodlines, talent awakening crystals andstly undead army. ''Ding, The host''s special talent has sessfully evolved into Super Special Talent.'' **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 381 New Super Special Talent ''Ding, The host''s special talent has sessfully evolved into Super Special Talent.'' ''It''s done already?'' Without wasting any time, Leo opened the [Hero''s Interface] to check the information on his evolved talent. ''Ding, Talent Name: Supreme Nether Domain (Supreme-Level). Talent Type: Super Special (Growth). Effects: 1) Herculean Domain: Upon activation, aher domain around a 100-kilometer radius appeared around the host for one hour. All the enemies within the domain will have their battle prowess reduced by 30 percent. Cooldown: Six hours. Note: The Domain is fixed and will not be moved for one hour. 2) Solo Domain: The radius of the domain will be one kilometer but it will be movable and only one opponent''s battle prowess will be reduced by 50 percent for ten minutes.

Special Effect: 1) Nether Rage Booster (Passive): Whether it was a [Herculean Domain] or [Solo Domain], when the user receives either Physical or Energy attacks, a portion of it will be umted inside this special booster.

Note: Since the user is a Supreme rank hero, his strength will be boosted to peak level 9 supreme rank. Cooldown: None (The user needs to fill the special booster again to activate the boost.) Soon,pletion information about ''There are two types of domains now? It''s good to have two domains for invasions and solo fights but the cooldown is a little high. So, when I use this talent, I have to take care of all the high-level targets.'' After reading the information about the two domains, Leo felt it was quite exciting and at the same time, he thought about the drawbacks of the talent. Of course, the six hours and one-hour cooldown were not much but still, if the high-level targets ambush him after the cooldown, it would be a little problem. Therefore, he thought of taking care of the high-level targets when he activated the talent. ''Anyway, now, I have another trump card under my sleeve.'' Looking at the special effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain], Leo could not help but reveal a satisfied smile because he was in need of such a special effect. ''Ding, Special Rage Booster: 0/100 percent. ''However, I don''t know how much time it will take to fill this special booster.'' While he was checking the special effect, another notification appeared in front of him, showing him an empty rectangr box. Nevertheless, Leo could easily tell what it was and wondered how long it would take for him to fill it. ''Since there is no cooldown for it, if I fill this box repeatedly in a short time, it would be easy for me to venture even grade 2 worlds.'' Even though the peak existence in the grade 2 world was not peaked supreme-grade heroes, Leo''s chances of survival increased a lot with the evolution of the Nether Domain. ''By the way, what is that growth besides the talent type? It has never appeared before for other talents.'' Leo was excited about the effects of the Super Special Talent, so he didn''t check the talent type before; however, after seeing an additional word, Leo asked the system about it. ''Ding, The Growth-type talents are those talents that could automatically evolve to the next rank when the user''s other talents are upgraded. ''Ding, Example: If any one of the host''s super special talents is upgraded to the legend grade, the talent [Supreme Nether Domain] will be upgraded to the legend grade. ''Huh? There are such talents too?'' Leo was surprised because it was his first time hearing about the existence of such types of talents. ''So, all I need to do is upgrade one super special talent to the legend grade and I will be having two legend-grade super special talents.'' Leo felt it was good to have such talents where they would upgrade on their own. ''If I have more of these types of talents, it would save me a lot of time in upgrading all the talents.'' Even though Leo now has the supreme grade [Talent Promoter], he could not use it to see the upgrade requirements for the Super Special Talent and even if he could see them, Leo was sure that it would be more difficult than upgrading the special talents. Therefore, Leo was hoping he would get more of such talents where it requires not to focus too much on upgrading the talents. ''Anyway, with the help from [Herculean Domain] and [Dragon yer], I can even fight a group of level 8 supreme-ranked dragons and if I use the [Solo Domain] and [Dragon yer], I can fight a single level 9 supreme ranked dragon.'' Leo put his thoughts about the type of talent and focused on the strength that he got from evolving the [Nether Domain] into [Supreme Nether Domain]. ''As for the [Nether Rage Booster], the first thing I have to do after entering the world is to fill itpletely. So that I can use it when I encounter the powerful dragons.'' With that thought in mind, Leo walked out of his room to check a few things in his city. Even though it''s been only a couple of weeks since Leo established the Golden Hawk City, it was growing powerful at a rapid pace thanks. He checked the special building [Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall]. In the first week, a master dwarf weaponsmith hade out of it and in the second week, Leo''s luck was not so good as an unawakened human walked out of it. ''Since he came out of the [Myriad Worlds Recruitment Hall], he would be absolutely loyal to me and the Golden Hawk City. So, I can add him into the army I will be creating after returning from Dragon World.'' Other City Leaders might not be interested in recruiting unawakened humans, but it was not the case for Leo. ''If they don''t have talent, I can give them one and if they contribute more, I can give them a dozen.'' This was Leo''s thought as he returned back to the City Hall after taking a troll around his city checking on the monster dens, beast dens, and residential buildings. "Human, thank you for letting me stay in your abode to rest and at the same time, thanks for buying all the items from me. I will take my leave." After returning to the City Hall, Leo didn''t go back to his room; instead, he entered the room, in which the Otherwordly Merchant, the cute panda, was resting. By the time he returned, Leo saw the cute panda was fully recovered and ready to leave. Of course, it didn''t forget to thank Leo for his generosity. "It''s alright!" Leo nodded his head and waved his hand. Since he had already bought the remaining two items from the Cute Panda, Leo knew there was no use in keeping the Cute Panda with him. "Do you have any items in particr that you prefer to buy?" The Cute Panda hesitated for a moment before asking him, "I wille back to this world again and trade those items solely with you." "Interesting." Leo was surprised a little before revealing a smile on his face. **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 382 Deal With The Cute Panda "No matter how powerful that item is, I can try my best in bringing it for you." At the same time, the Cute Panda added a few more words to make it sound like it was trying to repay for saving it from the Beast Gargoyle King. "Didn''t you say that you are only level 1?" Leo nodded his head as he understood what the Cute Panda was trying to tell him; however, he had a small doubt. Hence, he asked the Cute Panda about it. "That is true; however, I can buy the items from the Senior Otherworldly Merchant at 20 percent discount to save their time." The Cute Panda was going to tell more details about the deal sooner orter. Hence, it started exining a few more things on how the Otherworldly Merchant Organization really works. "Since I am only a level 1, I can only travel between the grade 1 worlds and gradeless worlds; however, I can meet some senior Otherwordly Merchants in the Headquaters of the Organization." "I can buy the items from them at 20 percent discounts. Generally, all the Otherworldly Merchants will sell the items at twice the rate to the natives of the world. So, despite giving me a 20 percent discount, they will still make a 30 percent discount." "Moreover, they could refill the items I bought with the items in their inventory which increases their sales and their rank." The Cute Panda exined everything in a single go, making Leo finally understand how the Otherwordly Merchant Organization works. "But, do you have enough funds to buy the high-level items?" Leo asked the Cute Panda with a chuckle. Senior Otherworldly Merchants have enough funds to maintain an inventory. So, there was no need for them to enter the higher grade worlds again and again. However, for Newbie Otherworldly Merchants like Cute Panda, it is impossible as they barely have enough funds to buy the normal items. So, Leo asked whether the Cute Panda has enough funds to buy the high-level items. "T-this¡­I was going to ask you for the advance payment. Of course, give me the advance payment only if you trust me." The Cute Panda was hesitating about this thing for a while; however, it felt relief after saying those words. "Is 100 million Hero Coins enough?" Leo had already guessed what the Cute Panda wanted to say when it was beating around the bush. Hence, he directly asked how many Hero Coins does the Cute Panda need. If it was before the 100 million Hero Coins were a huge amount for Leo and even now, it is still a huge amount for him. ? However, he had umted so much Hero Coins from the Storage Rings of Morgan and the other Supreme-ranked Heros in the [Treasure Land] and adding the Hero Coins his friends and followers had found in the [God Ruins], Leo had more than 500 million Hero Coins. Moreover, Leo got most of the basic resources from the [God Ruins] and the [Treasure Land] and there were a few things that Leo wanted that could not be found in this world. Therefore, Leo was willing to spend 100 million Hero Coins to get some good items. Of course, there is a risk of losing his 100 million Hero Coins if the Cute Panda never returns, but Leo was still willing to take such risk. "100 million Hero Coins is good but can you please let me know what kind of items you want? So that, I can give you a rough estimation for the price." The Cute Panda was surprised for a moment; however, it soon put on its merchant-look and asked about the items Leo needed. "I need God Stones, Fragments of the God Stones, Evolution Crystals both normal and special type, Monster Evolution Crystals, Beast Evolution Crystal, Experience Crystals, City Upgrade Stones¡­." Soon, Leo made a list of items that he needed and ended it by saying, "Give priority to the items ording to the list." "A single God Stone costs around 100 million Hero Coins and I can purchase it for 80 million from a senior merchant and sell it to you for 90 million Hero Coins." The Cute Panda exined more details about their deal, "Also, because of my level, I can only bring three items back and they should be different. Unless they are pills, I can''t sell a batch in one item slot." "Then, bring a God Stone, Special Talent Evolution Crystal and Special Monster Evolution Crystal." After hearing the restrictions on the Cute Panda, Leo decided on three items that he wanted the most as he continued to say, "In case if you can''t find these items, you can also bring the Beast Evoluion Crystal and other items on the list." Even though the Cute Panda said the price of the God Stones and other items, he was not sure that he would definitely get the items. So, Leo informed that he could also bring other items in that case. "Also, take another 100 million Hero Coins since half of the money will be taken by the God Stone anyway." At the same time, Leo transferred another 100 million Hero Coins to the Cute Panda, making it look at Leo in a new light. The reason why Leo was being so kind to the Cute Panda was not because he had taken a liking to the Cute Panda; instead, he wanted to make the Cute Panda as his loyal merchant who could bring him such nice and rare items from the high-level worlds. ''If the Cute Panda runs away after taking 200 million Hero Coins, I can always earn it back; however, if the Cute Panda returns with the items, we could both benefit.'' For every item that Cute Panda gets for Leo, it would get 10 percent whereas Leo would also get the same 10 percent. Moreover, the most important thing was the Cute Panda''s merchant level would be upgraded and when it gained the ability to enter the high-level worlds, then it could stop buying from the Senior Otherworldy Merchants and could collect the items on its own. At that time, the Cute Panda could make a profit of 40 percent and since it would be bringing the items required by Leo, it could finish the trade in the shortest time possible. "I will try toe back before the World Assessment which is in three weeks. I hope I cane back." The Cute Panda knew with enough resources, the chances of passing the world assessment would increase. Therefore, it informed Leo that it woulde back before the world assessment. "Okay." Leo nodded his head as he silently thought, ''I really hope you wille back.'' "Okay then. I am leaving now." ''Swoosh'' As soon as it finished its words, the Cute Panda pressed the button on its belt and in the next instant, it disappeared from the room. ''If he brings the God Stone and other items before the World Assesment, I can increase my strength even more.'' Leo silently muttered to himself and went back to his room, "Everything is taken care of. Now, all I have to do is enter the Dragon World tomorrow." **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 383 Grade 1 Dragon World Next day, ''Activate'' With a single thought, Leo activated the world tickets to the grade 1 dragon world and soon a huge portal appeared in front of Leo. ''Ding, The host can bring three of his followers or friends into a grade 1 world through the portal. Just as Leo was about to enter the portal, he received a system notification in his head. The portal opened by the world tickets would not allow many people to enter through it and there is a particr limit depending on the type of world. For the Grade 1 Dragon World, Leo could bring three more people along with him without any problem. "Let''s go." p Leo didn''t think much about it as he entered the portal to the Grade 1 Dragon World. ''I am not doing anything wrong! I am just trying my best to protect my family.'' ''ording to the Master, we will face the entire grade 1 world as soon as we walk through the portal. I have to protect my master at any cost.'' Behind him, the Void Dragon King and the Terra Minotaur Tyrant walked into the portal with their own thoughts. Even though the Void Dragon King felt it was doing the right thing, after seeing how Leo genuinely wants it to reunite with its family, the Void Dragon King''s guilt was growing with each passing seconds. On the other hand, Leo had already warned about the dangers they would be facing after entering the Grade 1 Dragon World to Sutin. So, he was excited and at the same time, he didn''t forget that he had to protect his master at any cost. ''Sutin must be bored by staying inside his den for thest couple of weeks. So, it would be good exercise for me and at the same time, he can help me in case I am overwhelmed with the supreme-grade grades.'' Sutin was also one of Leo''s trump cards that he didn''t want to hide it forever. Moreover, the more Sutin fights with powerful opponents, the sooner he will be stronger. Therefore, Leo decided to bring Sutin to the Grade 1 Dragon World with him. ... [What is taking them so long?] [Did that lizard betray me?] [Before I left that world, I could sense that its faith in me was wavering; however, who cares about a little supreme grade lizard?] [Moreover, there is no way he is going to betray me since I can kill his family if he did that] [Let''s wait for some more time] The Dragon God who was readily watching the grade 1 dragon world that Leo wasing to; however, he was frustrated while waiting for him. During his wait, many thoughts shed in the Dragon God''s head regarding the Void Dragon King''s loyalty; however, he didn''t think much because the Void Dragon King would not betray him even if he wanted to. [Huh? A portal is opening¡­it''s them. They have finally appeared] Soon, the Dragon God saw a portal open in the Grade 1 Dragon World and saw Leo and the two beasts walk out of it. The moment he saw Leo, the Dragon God was excited and soon started his preparations. [That target is here. I don''t care what you do, but I don''t want you to disappoint me] The Dragon God ordered his permanent apostle who was also the Lord of this grade 1 Dragon World. ''Don''t worry, Lord. He is just a basic supreme-ranked being. I will let you enjoy how I torture him.'' Inside a dark cave, two fiery red eyes opened as he replied to the Dragon God with great confidence. As the permanent apostle of the Dragon God, he knew what his god wanted. So, he was confident that he could satisfy his god by toying with his target. [I know he is only a basic supreme-ranked brat; however, he is very mysterious. So, be careful when you deal with him. This is myst message for you this week. Don''t make me act to deal with a basic supreme-ranked insect] After saying those words, the Dragon God remained silent and focused on Leo''s location. "Order Stone Dragon King and Marsh Dragon King to capture that human and throw him into my fiery prison" The Dragon God''s apsotle nodded his head and silently ordered someone before thinking, ''I will start the torture to please the Dragon God after I absorb the remaining energy from this crystal.'' With that thought in mind, the Dragon God''s Apsotle closed its eyes. ¡­.. ''Ding, The host entered the grade 1 Dragon World. You can stay in this world for the next seven days. ''Ding, Please kill a few natives of this world to get the basic information of this world and for the system to generate the mission regarding this world. As soon as Leo walked out of the portal, he received two system notifications which didn''t surprise Leo at all because he was already used to it. Whenever Leo enters a new world, all he has to do is kill a few natives and the system would extract the information from their heads. ''I wonder that b*stard is watching me.'' However, Leo thought about something else and in the next second, he received the system notifications from the system feature [Thoughts of Gods]. [Frustatrated Dragon God became excited to see the host walk out of the portal] [The Dragon God has ordered his permanent apostle to take care of you] [The Dragon God is watching ] ''So, he has already started his ns¡­good. So, I will not be bored in this world for long.'' Leo silently muttered in his head as he remained in his ce waiting for the natives of this world to receive him. ''Sutin, get ready.'' Leo used his [Telepathy] and warned Sutin to be careful while he checked on the Void Dragon King''s thoughts. ''It looks like he is still in a dilemma. If only I can find a way to save his family, I can easily get his loyalty.'' The only thing that was stopping the Void Dragon King from bing Leo''s follower was his family who were indirectly in the Dragon God''s hands. Moreover, Leo could tell the Void Dragon King has the potential to be a legend grade dragon and it might even break through beyond that with little effort and luck. Therefore, he wanted to take the Void Dragon King as his follower. Nevertheless, if he also started attacking him, Leo would not hold back and kill him without any hesitation. ''I really hope he didn''t attack with the remaining dragons.'' Leo silently thought in his head as he continued to wait for the dragons. ''Roar'' Soon, from a distance, dragon roars could be heard as Leo saw arge number of stone dragons and marsh dragons rush towards him at an incredible speed. "Sir Leo, sorry. I am just trying to go back to my family." ''Swoosh'' Seeing that the natives of the Grade 1 Dragon World were rushing towards him, the Void Dragon King apologized to Leo before flying away from that ce, leaving Leo and Sutin alone. ''Let the massacre begin.'' Leo was not bothered with the Void Dragon King''s words as he revealed an exciting look on his face. [Mighty Combustion - Directional st] **** Support the Author with Gifts, Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 384 [Bonus Chapter] Warm Up ''Sutin, everything is going as nned. Let''s go all out and kill these dragons to our heart''s content.'' [Mighty Combustion - Directional st] After saying those words to the Terra Minotaur Tyrant, Leo used his Supreme-Grade [Mighty Combustion]''s first effect. The dragons were yet to reach them; however, Leo didn''t bother to wait for them as he attacked them first. ''Ding, The host killed a dozen level 1 supreme-ranked Stone Dragons and gained 12 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed a dozen level 1 supreme-ranked Marsh Dragons and gained 12 [Supreme Promote Points]. A single attack was enough to kill 24 dragons that were more than a couple of kilometers away from him. ''Good start. It looks like the Dragon God has sent only cannon fodder. It''s alright! I can umte more and more [Supreme Promote Points].'' Seeing that all the dragons that wereing towards him were either level 1 or 2 supreme-ranked dragons, Leo felt it was alright as he could do some warm-up before the main fight starts. ''Ding, The host has killed the natives of the world. The system will start gathering basic information about the world and generate system missions. Leo didn''t bother about the system notification because he knew once the system collects the information, it would inform him of everything. Instead, he looked at the corpses of the dragons, Leo thought of something else. ''Since the dragons belong to the higher race, I should not convert them all into the undead minions; instead, I should devour them and extract their talents.'' Of course, he was not thinking of using the [Talent Swallowing Ability]; instead, he would be using the [Absolute Devour] and as for how many Talent Awakening Crystals, he would get by devouring the corpses, Leo left it to his luck. ''System, if there are any special talents in the dragons I killed, let me know. I will use the [Talent Swallowing Ability].'' Compared to the normal talents, Leo preferred the special talents because it would be easier for him to upgrade them to the super special talents. Hence, he ordered the system to keep an eye on the special talents and of course, he also didn''t forget about the soul-type talents. [Spatial Maniption - Teleportation]. In the next second, Leo teleported himself into the middle of the iing dragons that were made up of Stones and Mud. Compared to before, the supreme-grade [Spatial Maniption] teleported him so smoothly that Leo felt like he only took a single step towards his destination. [Mighty Combustion - Radius st] Looking at the surrounding dragons, Leo waved his hands with a slight smile and activated his talent. ''Boom'' In the next second, a huge explosion urred as tens of thousands of Stone Dragons and the Marsh Dragons were killed by Leo in an instant as though they were nothing. ''Ding, The host killed 6000 level 1 supreme-ranked dragons and gained 6000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed 3000 level 1 supreme-ranked dragons and gained 6000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ,m The [Supreme Promote Points] that were almost in three digits reached five digits in just a few seconds. Almost all the dragons that were rushing toward were killed by Leo in less than a minute and the remaining few were killed by the Terra Minotaur Tyrant whileining that he got very few dragons to kill. ''Don''t worry, it is just a warm-up. The reason battle might start soon. At that time, there would be plenty of opponents for you to kill.'' While talking to Sutin, Leo only used his talent [Telepathy] as he didn''t want the Dragon God to hear his conversations. [As I expected,pared to the one versus one fights, he is good at the one versus group fights] [Nevertheles, it is not enough for him to get out of this world alive. It is just the beginning] The Dragon God was not surprised that Leo was able to take care of thousands of basic-level supreme-ranked dragons. [It is better for him to get confidence and be arrogant. Just when he thinks everything is going in his way, then I will make him see what despair looks like] In the Dragon God''s view, Leo was just a hot-blooded young human who gets excited by killing thousands of dragons. However, what he didn''t know was that Leo was listening to his thoughts from the very beginning and despite knowing the fact there is a trap in the dragon world, Leo willingly entered it. If the Dragon God knew that all his thoughts were listened to by Leo, he might die of cardiac arrest. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, ''Ignorance is Bliss'', the Dragon God was thinking that all the things that were happening in the Dragon World, including Leo''s actions, were fully controlled solely by him. ... ''What? Does he know it was a trap?'' The Void Dragon king looked at how ready Leo was and how quickly he killed all the iing level 1 and level 2 dragons, he was shocked. ''Why did hee despite knowing it was a trap? Just why?'' The Void Dragon King who was already in a dilemma questioned Leo''s actions. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was thinking about why Leo was willing toe to the grade 1 dragon world despite knowing it was a trap, the Void Dragon King saw Leo disappear from the distance and appeared on his back. [Telepathy] ''You might be wondering why I woulde despite knowing it was a trap, right?'' Leo used his [Telepathy] and silently transmitted his voice to the Void Dragon King, giving a shock to the dragon. ''Don''t worry! I have established a secured connection that could stop the Dragon God from prying into the conversation.'' Leo knew that the Void Dragon King could not even think properly because of the Dragon God. So, he assured him that there was no need to worry about it. ''What? How¡­you know how to transmit your voice?'' The Void Dragon King didn''t ask Leo directly as he feared that the Dragon God might misunderstand that he was working together with Leo. ''Let''s not waste our time with the already known questions.'' Leo didn''t bother to answer that question as he felt it was pointless; instead, he said, ''Since you havepleted the Dragon God''s task, why don''t you ask him to send you back to your family?'' ''I don''t think that B*stard will keep his word but I hope he will keep it.'' After saying those words, Leo went back to his massacre as more and more dragons were rushing toward him from all directions. ''Before they reach me, I will devour all the corpses.'' Since he had to devour all the corpses as soon as possible after their death, Leo didn''t waste any time as he activated his talent [Absolute Devour]. ¡­. "Dragon God, please send me back to my world." On the other hand, after Leo left the Void Dragon King, he waited for a few moments before trying to contact the Dragon God openly. "Dragon God? I know you are watching me. Please give me a reply." He was already doubting the Dragon God from the beginning; however, Leo''s words made him even more anxious as he shouted at the sky. [Why are you shouting? What''s the hurry? I will send you back to your world after I make sure to torture him] The Void Dragon King froze when he heard the Dragon God''s words. Chapter 385 500000 [Supreme Promote Points] The reason why the Void Dragon King froze was that it was not part of their deal. ording to their deal, as long as the Void Dragon King brings Leo to the grade 1 dragon world, he should send the Void Dragon King back to his family. However, the Dragon God was intentionally dying him from sending him back to his worlds, making the Void Dragon King quite frustrated. ''What should I do now?'' The Void Dragon King''sst bit of faith in the Dragon God hadpletely disappeared when he heard his words; however, there was nothing he could do other than waiting. ... ''Ding, The host used the [Absolute Devour] and devoured 1000 low-level supreme-grade dragons. Ding, The [Absolute Devour]''s special effect got triggered and the host received 10 talent awakening crystals added to the host''s storage ring. [Earth Maniption - Supreme Earth Spikes] [Wind Maniption - Absolute Wind des] . . . Leo used the special talents that he upgraded to the supreme grade. Of course, he only used the basic effects on the cannon fodder because he knew the powerful dragons were yet toe. Leo was using the cannon fodder dragons to check out his newly upgraded talents. ''The basic effects of these talents were already so powerful I wonder how powerful the special effects of these talents will be?'' Leo was quite excited about using them; however, if he used the special effects, the entire talent would enter into a cooldown of one hour. Therefore, he didn''t bother to waste them on the cannon fodder that could easily be taken care of with the basic effects of his special talents. ''Ding, The host killed 10000 low-level supreme grade dragons and 25000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host devoured all the corpses using the [Absolute Devour] and gained 100 talent awakening crystals. . . Time continued to pass as Leo and Sutin were killing the iing dragons without breaking a single drop of sweat. Leo would use the basic effects of the Special Talents one after another and then make some time for himself to devour the dragon corpses to not only get the Talent Awakening Crystals but he was also replenishing his energy. As for Sutin, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant, he was taking advantage of his special passive talent [Mighty Minotaur] to recover his energy non-stop. Since they were only level 1 and 2 supreme-grade dragons, no one was able to leave a single scratch on it, making its passive talent [Earth Healing] useless. ... Time continued to pass and six hours passed by in a sh, The Stone Dragons and Marsh Dragons continued to rush toward Leo and Sutin without giving them a break. With the passage of time, the strength of the iing Stone Dragons and the Marsh Dragons also started to increase from levels 1 and 2 to levels 4 and level 5 supreme rank. ''Ding, The host killed 10 level 5 supreme-ranked stone dragons and gained 160 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured the level 5 supreme-ranked stone dragons and received 10 Talent Awakening Crystal. ''Devouring the level 5 supreme-ranked dragons using the [Absolute Devour] is triggering the special effect at 100 percent. It looks like I don''t have to use the special effects of the Fragments of the God Stones to reset the cooldown for the [Talent Swallowing Ability] anymore.'' As Leo killed and devoured the level 5 supreme-ranked dragon, he was receiving the Talent Awakening Crystals of the main talent of those dragons. Hence, Leo was excited because his storage ring was filled with talent awakening crystals. Unlike the regr talent awakening crystals, there was no limit for an individual in using these talent awakening crystals¡­at least Leo didn''t find any limit to them yet as he only had a limited number of these crystals. However, now, his storage rings had more than talent awakening crystals and at least a hundred of them were special talents. ''As long as I return to Golden Hawk City with my current gains, I am very confident in passing the world assessment.'' During these hours, Leo had not only gained a huge number of talent awakening crystals but he also gained more than half a million [Supreme Promote Points]. ''ording to the calctions, I need around 10600 [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade a level 1 mortal-grade talent to level 1 supreme-grade talent. Of course, it would double if it is a special talent.'' By now, Leo had gotten so used to the battle with the Stone Dragons and the Marsh Dragons that Leo''s body automatically knew what talent he had to use. Hence, he got enough time to make calctions and he continued to do so. ''With half a million [Supreme Promote Points], I can instantly make 50 unawakened humans into level 1 supreme-ranked humans who will definitely increase the chances of passing the world assessment.'' It''s been only six hours since he had arrived and he had already received half a million [Supreme Promote Points] and he was still receiving. As the Dragon God thought, Leo was bing more and more excited with each [Supreme Promote Point] he had. However, the excitement on the Dragon God''s face which was in the beginning was no longer to be seen now. [What is he?] [What kind of talent did he awaken?] [Why is he not getting tired?] The Dragon God was not surprised by the fact that the Terra Minotaur Tyrant was not tired at all after fighting for six hours straight; however, he was shocked that Leo was also the same. He was not tired at all and the slight smile on his face was maintained for the whole six hours as though he was doing something funny. [What kind of monster will he be if he grows? Will he be take over ''That'' b*stard ce?] The frown on the Dragon God''s face grew bigger and bigger as he felt he became more and more determined to kill Leo. Because he knew how powerful Leo would be if he was allowed to grow and at that time, he might not be able to take revenge on Leo even if he wanted to. [I thought I wanted to make him enjoy sometime before taking away that smile from his face; however, it looks like I should increase his difficulty] In the eyes of the Dragon God, even the legend-grade beings were insects, and as for the low-level supreme-grade dragons that Leo killed were not even qualified to be insects. However, after seeing how they could not tire out Leo, the Dragon God decided to put pressure on his apostle to pay a personal visit to Leo. [B*stard, order some of your high-level minions to take care of that brat. He had killed more than one hundred thousand of supreme-ranked dragons so far] Soon, he ordered his permanent apostle to take care of Leo. ''Huh?'' That permanent apostle opened his eyes in the dark cave and replied, ''Okay, Lord.'' However, he didn''t bother to move from his ce as he closed his eyes and transmitted his words, ''It looks like the minions of Stone and Marsh Dragon Kings have be so useless that they could not take care of a single basic-level supreme grade hero.'' ''Whoever captures that human alive and brings him to me, I will give you a God Stone.'' Chapter 386 Tempest Dragon King ''Whoever captures that human alive and brings him to me, I will give you a God Stone.'' The permanent apostle of the Dragon God in the Dragon World didn''t move personally because he still felt there was no reason for him to act. Instead, he ordered the five territorial rulers of this Grade 1 Dragon World to take care of Leo. Of course, he didn''t order them to kill Leo; instead, he ordered them to only capture him because that''s the only way to please the Dragon God. [Even though he is not personally acting, the five territorial rulers of this world are strong enough to take care of Leo] If it was someone else that didn''t follow his orders, the Dragon God would have been furious; however, he had a soft corner for this permanent apostle. Moreover, he also knows the reason why his favourite apostle was not moving out of his cave. Therefore, the Dragon God was not furious and felt the territorial rulers were enough to take care of Leo. ... ''Ding, The host killed a total of a hundred thousand supreme-ranked dragons. ''Ding, Since the host already has the title [Dragon yer], no new title will be unlocked. As for Leo, he paused his massacre when he received two new system notifications. ''So, even without that mission, I would have gotten this title.'' Leo already knew that he could get these types of titles by killing lots of beings from a specific race; however, since dragons were rare, Leo selected the [Title] reward; instead of the Hero Coins. ''If I picked the reward of Hero Coins, I would have gained one billion Hero Coins but still, the reason why I was able to see so many dragons without using any of my trump cards was because of the title [Dragon yer].'' Leo knew that he selected the right mission in the Heavenly Fighting Arena. ''Ding, Instead of a new title, the effect of the [Dragon yer] will be upgraded by 1 percent. ''Ding, p When the host fights the dragons while equipping the title [Dragon yer], all the dragons'' battle prowess will be reduced by 26 percent. ''Huh? Increase the effect of the title?'' Leo was excited when he saw the first system notification; however, when he saw that it had only increased by one percent, Leo''s excitement disappeared into thin air. ''Wait a second¡­if it increased by one percent for killing one hundred thousand dragons, it will increase if I kill more dragons, right?'' When this thought shed in Leo''s head, his disappeared excitement reappeared again as he looked forward to killing more and more dragons. ''This grade 1 world is more powerful than the Beas as there is no end to the iing supreme-ranked dragons.'' Looking at the thousands of supreme-ranked dragons, Leopared it with the Beas and revealed an evil smile. Even though there were supreme-grade beasts inside the Beas, their number was limited, which might be around three or four hundred thousand or at most half a million. However, in this grade 1 Dragon World, Leo had already killed one hundred thousand supreme-ranked dragons and umted one million [Supreme Promote Points]. Moreover, they are stilling toward Leo thanks to the Dragon God. ''More Dragons means More [Supreme Promote Points].'' With that thought in mind, Leo continued with his massacre using the Special Talents and even normal talents without worrying about the energy he was spending while using them. ''Ding, The Dragon Egg Incubator has collected the partial energy and blood from the dragons killed by the host and supplied it to the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg. ''Ding, The hatching time for the egg decreased by 100 days. ''Ding, Time left for hatching: 899 days. ''What?'' While Leo resumed his massacre, he once again received the system notifications other than killing or devouring. This time, it was regarding the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s Egg that was inside the Dragon Egg Incubator. ''The hatching time was reduced by 100 days after I killed more than one hundred thousand. Then I have to kill another nine hundred thousand dragons to hatch it, right?'' Leo was already excited about massacring the dragons in the grade 1 dragon world for more than one reason and now another reason added to that list. [The Dragon God was bing more and more furious whenever he saw the host smile.] From time to time, the [Thoughts of Gods] was also sending the system notification regarding the Dragon God''s thoughts and actions. ''He is furious to see me smile? Then, I shouldugh.'' Since one of his reasons to enter the grade 1 dragon world was to irritate the Dragon God, Leo didn''t hold himself back as he went all out in irritating the Dragon God. "Haha¡­since you want to die that badly, I will grant you." Leo even added a few arrogant lines while looking at the iing dragons, which made the Dragon God furious. ... "Everyone, stop attacking." Leo''s massacre continued until a loud voice came from the distance, making all the supreme-ranked dragons stop attacking Leo as they hurriedly moved back. "Human, you are strong; however, this is as far as you can go. If you don''t want to die,e quietly with me to see the Dragon Emperor." A dark blue-coloured dragon along with a dozen simr-looking dragons flew towards him andnded in front of Leo. "Tempest Dragon King." The stone dragons and marsh dragons hurriedly moved back and gave the ce for the tempest dragons. ''A level 9 supreme-ranked dragon needs toe to capture a level 2 supreme-ranked human? What was the Dragon Emperor thinking when he gave the order to the five dragon kings?'' The Tempest Dragon King was not bothered about the minions of the Stone Dragon King and the Marsh Dragon King; instead, he felt the Dragon Emperor was overreacting when he ordered the five dragon kings under him to capture a human. ''A level 9 supreme-ranked dragon?'' Thanks to his [Godly Beast Tamer], Leo was able to listen to the thoughts of the Tempest Dragon King and became serious after learning the strength of the dragon standing in front of him. Moreover, the group of dragons standing behind the Tempest Dragon King looked like they were level 7 and level 8 supreme-ranked Tempest Dragons. ''So, the big fishes are finallying out. Good.'' Until now, Leo was thinking about the massacre as a warm-up and he became serious since the big fishes had finallye out. ''Ding, The information of the grade 1 dragon world is fully collected. Transferring the entire information to the host''s head. ''System, you have taken quite a lot of time. I hope you have collected enough information about the grade 1 dragon world.'' Generally, the system would transfer the basic information about a new world in less than an hour; however, it''s been more than half a day since he entered the grade 1 dragon world and the system has finished its data collection just now. So, Leo hoped that the data would be detailed. ''Ding, A new mission has been generated. ''Ding, A new special mission has been generated. ''Ding, A new bonus mission has been generated. As the system was transferring the information about the grade 1 dragon world to Leo, three more system notifications appeared in front of him. Chapter 387 [Bonus Chapter] Abnormal Giant Strength ''What? Three new missions?'' Leo was surprised to see the three system notifications regarding the missions. However, he didn''t have the time to check them as his head was being filled with the information regarding the Grade 1 Dragon World. ording to the information entering Leo''s head, he started getting a good understanding of the power structure of the world. In this Grade 1 Dragon World, there were a lot of six different regions. The main region was solely upied by the Dragon Emperor and the remaining five regions were ruled by five different rulers and their minions. All five rulers have the same strength which was the level 9 supreme rank; however, because of their ss in the dragon race, their strength varies a lot. The Stone Dragon King and the Marsh Dragon King were the weakest rulers among the five dragon rulers and as for the Tempest Dragon King, he was the second strongest ruler. Unlike the main where only the Dragon Emperor lives, these five dragon rulers have their own armies that consists of: 1) Level 8 supreme ranked dragons x 10. 2) Level 7 supreme ranked dragons x 100. 3) Level 6 supreme ranked dragons x 1000. . . As for the level 1 supreme ranked dragons, there were half a million to million dragons and to Leo''s surprise, there was not a single dragon that was below the supreme-rank. Of course, the number of high-level dragons below these dragon rulers might not be same; however, that was the average number that the Dragon Emperor ordered them to maintain. ''How is this grade 1 world so powerful? Is it because it has a permanent apostle of a god?'' The two grade 1 worlds, the Beas and the Devil Goliath World were powerful; however, they have millions of natives below the supreme rank; however, this grade 1 Dragon World didn''t have a single dragon below the supreme rank. ''Moreover, even the monsters of this world are all dragons.'' There was another shocking thing that Leo learned from the information that the system had transferred him. ording to that information, the Tempest Dragon and the Marsh Dragons were not really the natives of this world; instead, they were the monsters; however, when they swore their loyalty to the so-called Dragon Emperor, they were turned into the natives of this world. ''Interesting. It looks like all grade 1 worlds won''t be the same just because they passed the world assessment.'' This was the conclusion that Leo came to after digesting all the information that the system sent to his head. "It looks like he is not the type to yield without a fight." On the other hand, the Tempest Dragon King looked at Leo who was not giving any reply and shook his head before ordering the dragon captains behind him to capture Leo. ''Roar'' As soon as they received the order from the Tempest Dragon King, dozens of level 7 supreme-ranked tempest dragon captains flew towards Leo. "Sutin, are you ready for the real fight? No matter what you do, don''t die." p Not only the dragon captains, even Leo also came out of their thoughts with the Tempest Dragon King''s words and ordered the Terra Minotaur Tyrant not to die at any cost. "Yes, master." Just like Leo, Sutin also became excited to see some powerful foes and rubbed the ground with his hoof. "You got a powerful follower; however, he would be dying today." Seeing Sutin, the Tempest Dragon King frowned a little because he sensed the Terra Minotuar in front of him was not a regr one but a special kind. Therefore, he ordered the three Tempest Dragon Generals to attack the Sutin. "Let''s see whether you can stil maintain that smile after five minutes." With a slight smile on his face, Leo replied to the Tempest Dragon King as he looked at the dozen level 7 supreme-ranked dragons around him. "How dare a mere human talk so big to my master." One of the dragon captains rushed towards Leo as he could not endure Leo''s way of replying to the Tempest Dragon King. ''I think it is finally time to use one of two recently evolved talents.'' Even though the dragon captain''s speed was fast, Leo easily dodged it and silently thought in his head to use his recently evolved talent. [Supreme Nether Domain - Herculean Domain] ''Swoosh'' In just a second, the entire 100 kilometer radius around Leo shook a little before returning to normal. ''Hey¡­what just happened?'' ''What was that?'' ''Wait a second¡­why do I feel weak all of sudden?'' Soon, all the dragons within the 100-kilometer radius around Leo felt that they had suddenly be weak. ''Ding, The effects from the [Dragon yer] and the [Herculean Domain] can''t be stacked together. ''Ding, Hence, the system has reced the [Dragon yer] with the [Supreme Killer]. ''Ding, Thebined effect of the [Supreme Killer] and the [Herculean Domain] will decrease the strength of the dragons by 36 percent. Leo already knew that the title [Dragon yer] can''t be stacked with the [Herculean Domain]. So, he was not surprised. Actually, Leo didn''t want to use the [Suprem Nether Domain] yet and only wanted to use the [Dragon yer''s] effect to kill as many dragons as possible. However, after learning the full information about the Grade 1 Dragon World, Leo knew that more and more powerful dragons would being for him soon. Therefore, he decided to fill his [Nether Rage Booster] and keep it ready for emergencies. ''Huh? What kind of ability is that? I feel my battle prowess is suppressed by more than 30 percent.'' As the king-type dragon, the Tempest Dragon King had a good understanding of his strength and he could tell how much percent of his battle prowess was suppressed by Leo. "Shall we fight now?" Once he activated the first effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain], Leo scoffed at the dragons that surrounded him. [Tempest des] [Tempest w] [Acid Spilt] . . One after another dragon used their attacks on Leo, of course, they were not their strongest attacks because the Dragon Emperor''s orders were not to kill the human. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''Tiss'' . . While the Tempest Dragon Captains attacked him, Leo didn''t bother to dodge them and received those attacks in order to fill the [Nether Rage Booster]. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] is filled by one percent. ''Only one percent?'' Leo nearly received a dozen attacks and it only increased one percent for the [Nether Rage Booster], making Leo shook his head in disappointment. ''This will not work. I think I should just kill them and fight the level 8 supreme-ranked dragons.'' Since, the damage done by the level 7 supreme-ranked dragons was very slow, increasing the [Nether Rage Booster], Leo decided to fight stronger opponents. "Is that all you got? If so, then you can go to hell." Without wasting any time, Leo used his second recently evolved talent. [Abnormal Gaint Strength] ''Ding, The host used a special talent [Abnormal Gaint Strength]. For the next one hour, his physical strength will increase by five times. As soon as he activated that talent, Leo''s body grew a little as his muscles bulged and threw a powerful punch at the Tempest Dragon Captain. ''Puchi'' The moment Leo''s punchnded on the dragon''s face, its entire body shook a little before falling to the ground, obviously dead. Chapter 388 Human Or Zombie? [Abnormal Giant Strength] evolved from a normal talent [Inhuman Strength] and it was all thanks to the rewards from the mission [There are no useless talents, only useless heroes] that Leopleted in the [Treasure Land]. From the rewards, his five normal types of talents were directly upgraded to the Supreme grade and among them, one talent evolved into a special talent and it was [Inhuman Strength] Leo was nning to use the talents with thebined effects from the [Supreme Nether Domain] and the [Supreme Talent] and he finally used it. In short, not only the dragons'' battle prowess would be suppressed by 36 percent but at the same time, his strength would be increased by five times. Along with the passive talents and skills like [Raging Battle Bull], [Mighty Roar] that would passively increase his strength by one or two times, it was a piece of cake for Leo to kill the level 7 supreme-ranked dragons. ''Ding, The host killed a level 7 supreme-ranked dragon and gained 50 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''I thought I could kill a level 7 supreme-ranked dragon; however, I didn''t expect to kill it with a single punch.'' It was Leo''s first time using the currentbination of talents, skills and title. So, when he looked at the copsed dragon on the ground, Leo became excited. "Let''s go." After that, Leo didn''t bother to waste any time as he started using his physical strength to punch the dragons to death in one or two punches. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' While Leo was killing the dragons with his physical attacks, the level 7 supreme-ranked dragons were also no pushovers. They started using their powerful attacks because Leo was more powerful than they thought. [Elemental Healing - Passive Healing] Leo was not worried about the injuries on his body because of two reasons. One, his passive normal-type talent [Elemental Healing] was one of the five talents that upgraded to supreme rank. Hence, his healing speed was much faster than the injuries appearing on his body. And the second reason was, the more he got attacks, the faster the [Nether Rage Booster] can be upgraded. "Everyone, attack him." The Tempest Dragon King felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw Leo, who was killing these dragon captains as though they were nothing and shouted out loud. As soon as he shouted, all the dragons, whether it was a Stone Dragon or a Marsh Dragon or a Tempest Dragon, all rushed toward Leo, hoping to get him under control. "It looks like your smile has disappeared sooner than I said¡­Haha." Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as Leo chuckled at the Tempest Dragon King who acted arrogant just a few moments back but already ganging up on him. ''It''s time to clear the crowds.'' Even though Leo wanted to increase his [Nether Rage Booster] by receiving attacks from his opponents, Leo didn''t want to be overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of supreme-ranked dragons. Therefore, he decided to end them. [Mighty Combustion - Radius st] ''Boom'' A huge explosion urred in the 100-kilometer radius around Leo sting all the iing supreme-ranked dragons away. Since the five-times boost, he received from the [Abormal Giant Strength] was only physical, it didn''t increase the power of his level 1 supreme-ranked [Mighty Combustion- Radius st]. Nevertheless, thanks to the suppression from the [Supreme Killer] and the [Herculean Domain], Leo killed all the dragons with the strength of level 3 and below supreme rank. ''These dragons have tough skins that even the level 1 supreme dragon''s corpse still remained intact after experiencing my Radius st.'' Leo was satisfied with the toughness of the Dragon''s skin because he wanted to consume them to recover the energy and most importantly to get the Talent Awakening Crystals. ''Ding, The host has killed more than 100000 level 1, 2 and 3 supreme-ranked dragons and gained a million [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host reached the first target in the Bonus Mission. The effect of the title [Dragon yer] has been upgraded to 27 percent. Leo received the system notifications; however, he didn''t check them as he was seeing how much damage he had done with his simple [Radius st]. "Brat¡­you have some powerful talents and skills; however, you can only kill the level 3 supreme-ranked dragons and below." For a moment, even the Tempest Dragon King was shocked by Leo''s powerful attacks; however, after seeing that only level 3 supreme dragons and below were killed, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Haha¡­say that I was seeing my next attack." [Mighty Combustion - Supreme Firestorms]. As soon as he finished his words, Leo activated the special effect of the [Mighty Combustion] that mutated a little after the talent upgraded to the supreme grade. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, four huge firestorms appeared around Leo and each one travelled in a different direction almost covering the entire area. ''Roar'' ''Growls'' Painful roars and growls of the dragons could be heard as the firestorms swallowed the dragons regardless of their strength of the dragons. ''What is that skill? It is more powerful than before.'' The Tempest Dragon King and his dragon generals and captain hurriedly flew into the sky to escape the firestorm just in time and were shocked to see how even the level 4 and level 5 supreme-ranked dragons were killed by the huge firestorms. ''Ding, ? The host killed 24000 level 4 supreme-ranked dragons and gained 192000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed 10000 level 5 supreme-ranked dragons and gained 160000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''I already got 2.5 million [Supreme Promote Points] and so far I only faced three types of dragons and I am yet to finish all of them yet.'' Leo looked at the moderately injured level 6 supreme-ranked dragons and mildly injured level 7 supreme-ranked dragons and nodded his head with satisfaction. ''Ding, The host''s talent [Mighty Combustion] will enter a cooldown for the next one hour. ''No problem. By the time, the remaining two types of dragonse here, it wille out of the cooldown.'' Leo was not worried too much about the talent because he already has other supreme-ranked talents [Call of the Lightning], [Heavenly Fire Purgatory], [Tri-coloured Poison Toradoes] and so on. "Now, there is no crowd and only less than 1000 dragons. Shall we fight?" After killing nearly 200000 supreme-ranked dragons, Leo replied to the Tempest Dragon King and before he could react, Leo started his attack directly on him. [Golden Wyvern Wings] Two powerful-looking huge wings appeared on Leo''s back and his target was none other than Tempest Dragon King. "Everyone, there is no need to hold yourself back anymore¡­kill him." The Tempest Dragon King was shocked by Leo''s unparalleled battle prowess; however, he recovered quickly and ordered his dragon captains and the dragon generals to attack Leo at their full attacks. ''I am also waiting for the same.'' Leo secretly chuckled in his head as he started attacking the Tempest Dragon King. ¡­.. [This brat¡­what is he? A Zombie that doesn''t get tired? He killed nearly 25 percent of the dragons in this world in less than a single day] From the above, the Dragon God who was watching the fight started regretting letting Leo enter his world. ******* Q: How many [Supreme Promote Points] will Leo get from killing the various supreme-ranked beings? Answer: Level 1 = 1. Level 2 = 2. Level 3 = 4. Level 4 = 8. Level 5 = 16. Level 6 = 32. Level 7 = 50. Level 8 = 100. Level 9 = 500. Chapter 389 Dragon Gods Determination Even though the Dragon God has a few more worlds other than this grade 1 dragon world under his control, he didn''t want to lose the entire army for the world because it would affect the uing world assessments. The stronger the natives of the world, the easier for them to pass the world assessment. Since this grade 1 dragon world was his favourite permanent apostle''s world, the Dragon God had spent a lot of resources on itpared to any grade 2 and grade 3 worlds under his control. That''s the reason why there were so many supreme-ranked dragons in this grade 1 worldpared to the other grade 1 worlds. Moreover, the Dragon God has high hopes for his apostle and this grade 1 dragon world. So, he didn''t want a mere low-level supreme-ranked human to mess them up. [Huh? The remaining four dragon rulers under my apostle have arrived along with their armies. I think they will take care of him]. Even though he regretted bringing Leo to this world, there was no medicine for that in the entire universe. Just when he was thinking of doing something, he saw the remaining dragon rulers arrive at the location where Leo was fighting the Tempest Dragon King and his dragon captains and generals. [There is no way he could kill them, right?] Even though the Dragon God was confident that Leo could not kill any of the dragon kings who had the strength of the level 9 supreme rank, somewhere in his heart, he was worrying about otherwise. [I must be overthinking! How can that brat kill them? He is just a level 2 supreme-ranked human¡­ ¡­.but he was able to kill the level 6 supreme and below-ranked dragons and at the same time, he was fighting on equal terms with a group of level 7 and 8 supreme-ranked dragons] Whenever he thought of that, the Dragon God shook his head and decided to wait and see. [So be it. If the entire army in this world is killed then so be it. I will just spend all the god units in my ount to boost the strength of this world] After thinking for a moment, the Dragon God gritted his teeth and came up with an alternative solution and his determination to kill Leo increased even more. [I should end what I started, right?] Looking at Leo who was having a hard time fighting the Tempest Dragon King and his minions revealed an evil smile. The only thing that could satisfy the Dragon God was torturing Leo. If not for Leo, the Dragon God would have be the indirect master of the Ancient Primordial Dragon God and with the help of Morgan, he would have conquered hundreds of worlds and would have be even more powerful. [This b*stard has to die for disrupting my ns of ascending to the next realm] The Dragon God clenched his fists in anger as he looked at Leo in the Dragon World. ¡­.. In the Dragon World, "Haha¡­I was worried for a moment there when you killed so many supreme-ranked dragons." Looking at Leo who was fully covered in injuries, the Tempest Dragon King chuckled. ''Hehe'' On the other hand, Leo replied to the Tempest Dragon King with a smile on his blood-covered face. "You are a courageous one, human. If only you hadn''t messed up with someone, you might have be the apostle of that being with your strength." From the distance, a huge ck-coloured dragon walked towards Leo but stopped when it was around 500 meters away from Leo. "Yeah. He had wiped out the entire armies of our Stone Dragon King and the Marsh Dragon King¡­keke." A huge blue-coloured dragon looked at the Stone Dragon King and the Marsh Dragon and chuckled. It was happy at the fact that the two dragon kings lost their entire armies except for their 10 dragon generals and 100 dragon captains. "Astral Dragon King, stop it. Even if we lost the armies, it is not going to do any benefit to you as we were no match for the remaining three dragon kings anyway." The Stone Dragon King shook its head as it replied to the blue-coloured dragon. The five dragon kings under the Dragon Emperor based on their strength are: 1) Twilight Dragon King. 2) Tempest Dragon King. 3) Astral Dragon King. 4) Stone Dragon King. 5) Marsh Dragon King. Upon receiving the orders from the Dragon Emperor, all the Stone and Marsh Dragons rushed towards the Leo because they don''t have a particr region and are present everywhere in the dragon world. Since the Tempest Dragon King has great speed, he managed to reach Leo in eight hours whereas the remaining dragons took their own time because they already knew the Tempest Dragon King would take care of the level 2 supreme-ranked human. However, who would have thought that the Tempest Dragon King was still fighting with the human until they arrived? "Tempest, what happened? It looks like you are bing weaker and weaker as time passes?" The Twilight Dragon King looked at Leo who still had a slight smile on his face despite being covered in blood and said to the Tempest Dragon King. ,m "This human is definitely not a normal one, Sir Twilight." Even though the Tempest Dragon King was the second-ranked dragon king, he was once a monster andter became a native of this world. So, he treated the Twilight Dragon King and the Astral Dragon King with respect. "I can tell. The moment Ie here, I feel my battle prowess is suppressed by exactly 38 percent. That''s a heaven-defying talent for a human to have." The Twilight Dragon King nodded its head and looked at Leo. "Anyway, since you have subdued him, let''s bring him back to the Dragon Emperor." From the dragon kings'' perspective, the Tempest Dragon King had subdued Leo. Since the Dragon Emperor ordered them to bring Leo to him with his life intact, he ordered the Tempest Dragon King to bring Leo with him. "Huh? Subdued me? Haha...when did that happen?" Suddenly, Leo''s weak voice stopped the Twilight Dragon King in its steps as it turned around to look at Leo who was maintaining a smile on his face. "If the Dragon Emperor didn''t order us to capture you alive, Tempest would have already killed you. It looks like you must have hurt your head." The Twilight Dragon King shook its head as it scoffed at Leo. "Is that so?" Leo adjusted his standing posture and looked at the Tempest Dragon King before asking him, "Are you holding back your strength until now?" "..." The Tempest Dragon King remained silent for a moment before saying, "Except for not using the bloodline, I am going all out when I fight him." "What?" The Twilight Dragon King and other Dragon Kings were shocked when they heard the Tempest Dragon King''s words. "Now¡­now¡­there is no need to be shocked about it. Because of your attacks, I was able toplete my preparations sooner than I thought." Looking at the five dragon kings and the dragon generals and captains standing behind them, Leo revealed an evil smile as he saw the red-coloured progress bar in front of his eyes was fully filled. Chapter 390 [Bonus Chapter] Leo Versus Dragon Kings (1) While fighting the Tempest Dragon King and his powerful minions, Leo only focused on dodging the life-threatening attacks and received the normal attacks to fill the [Nether Rage Booster]. Since they were level 7, 8 and 9 supreme-ranked dragons,pared to his healing, their attacks were faster, making his body fully covered in injuries. However, thanks to those attacks, the [Nether Rage Booster] waspletely filled in no time. While fighting them, Leo used [Absolute Devour] to devour the corpses that were lying everywhere to recover his energy and at the same time, received a lot of Talent Awakening Crystals. ''Ding, The host''s [Herculean Domain] has been active for one hour. It will enter into a cooldown. It''s been one hour since Leo had activated his [Herculean Domain] and it entered into a cooldown and if Leo wanted to use it again, he needed to wait for six hours. ''Since I have already filled up the [Nether Rage Booster], there is no need for me to use the [Supreme Nether Domain].'' The only reason why Leo used this supre special talent was to fill the [Nether Rage Booster] and since he had alreadypleted it, he was not worried much about it. "I don''t know from where you are getting your confidence, but it looks like you have reached your limit in suppressing your strength." The five dragon kings frowned when they saw the confidence on Leo''s face; however, all of a sudden, the mysterious force that was suppressing their battle prowess disappeared. Even though they were still suppressed by 10 percent, it was not a big dealpared to the previous suppression of 40 percent. (30 percent from [Herculean Domain] and 10 percent from [Supreme Killer] title.) So, they thought there was nothing that Leo could do now because their battle prowess was only suppressed by 10 percent. "Is that so?" However, they have clearly underestimated Leo as he only used his basic trump cards and hid the main trump cards for thest. As soon as he said those words to the five dragon kings, Leo silently ordered the system. ''System, equip me with the title [Dragon yer].'' Since he could not suppress the dragons by 30 percent anymore, Leo decided to use his [Dragon yer] title that could suppress all dragon-type opponents by 29 percent. Beforeing to this world, the title [Dragon yer] could only suppress the battle prowess of the Dragons by 25 percent; however, by killing more and more dragons and thanks to the bonus mission, that effect has risen to 29 percent. "Huh? You still have some power left to suppress us?" The five dragon kings were surprised that the mysterious suppression was back again; however, unlike before, the suppression was only 29 percent which was 11 percent less than before. [Elemental Healing - Instant Recovery] Even though Leo''s body was fully covered in injuries and was slowly recovering, Leo didn''t feel any pain; however, he thought it was better to recover them while he still had the chance. Because, from now on, the real between him and the dragons would begin and Leo decided to start using the trump cards he had kept in store. [Earth Maniption - Earth Spikes] Once he decided to start attacking the dragons around him, Leo used his special talent which shook the entire ground. "It''s useless." However, in the eyes of the Dragon King, those earth spikes were useless as they didn''t even bother to dodge those spikes. "Sutin, there is no need to hide your strength any longer. Go all out and kill as many dragons as possible." As for Leo, he didn''t even bother to respond to the dragon kings as he ordered Sutin who was still fighting the Tempest Dragon Generals who had the strength of the level 8 supreme rank. "Yes, Master." Until now, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant was only using its basic attacks while fighting with the dozen level 8 supreme-ranked dragons. After receiving Leo''s order, Sutin no longer bothered to hide his strength as he roared out loud. [Raging Mighty Bull], increase the strength of the user to the next level for one hour. As soon as Sutin activated his talent, his strength increased from level 8 to level 9 supreme rank. [Earth Stomp] Even though Sutin was fighting for more than 12 hours, he was not tired because of the special talent that gives him unlimited stamina and healing as long as he was in contact with the earth. ''Kacha'' Cracks appeared on the ground and the dragon generals surrounding Sutin lost their footing; however, because of the earth spikes summoned by Leo, it became even more difficult for them to move. [Mighty Bull Rush] Sutin transformed into a huge terra bull as he rushed towards those dozen dragon generals around him and used his horns to puncture their bodies. "Oh. So your confidencees from your tamed beast?" The Twilight Dragon King understood why Leo was confident when he saw how easily Sutin was able to kill a dozen level 8 supreme-ranked dragons. "However, it is useless. Watch how he will be killed right in front of your eyes." After thiking for a moment, the Twilight Dragon Ordered, "Stone, Marsh, and Tempest, take care of him along with your dragon generals." Since their battle prowess was suppressed by 29 percent, Twilight Dragon King knew it would be difficult to kill Sutin. Therefore, he ordered three of the dragon kings to kill Sutin. "That''s not going to happen." No matter how much support Leo could give Sutin with his title [Dragon yer], if he was ganged up on by so many powerful dragons, he would be killed. How could Leo let them happen right in front of his eyes? [War God''s Battle Axe] [Battle Axe Mastery] Without any hesitation, he summoned his huge battle axe as he rushed at the weakest dragon king, the Marsh Dragon King. "Haha¡­this is the funniest thing I have seen in my entire life." The Astral Dragon King who always makes fun of others could not help butugh out loud when he heard Leo''s words and saw his actions of killing the Marsh Dragon King. It was already a heaven-defying thing for Leo to kill arge number of level 6 and below supreme-ranked dragons; however, now he was trying to attack a level 9 surpeme dragon king. So, of course, he could not control hisughter and made fun of Leo. "Human, even though I am weak among the five dragon kings, that doesn''t mean you can kill me with a mid-level supreme-ranked weapon." Even the Marsh Dragon King shook its head and said, "Fine¡­I will let you see the real gap between you and me. I won''t use any of my defensive skills and let you attack me." "I have high hopes for you, human." All the dragon kings stopped for a moment and scoffed at Leo as they were waiting to see whether Leo could make a single scratch on the Marsh Dragon King. ''System, upgrade my [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 7 supreme rank.'' While rushing towards the Marsh Dragon King, Leo ordered the system and soon, he used his teleportation to appear in mid-air. [Weapon Skill - Titan Strike] Leo used his falling momentum to increase his attack and used the weapon skill to strike down the Marsh Dragon King in a single attack. ***** A/N: Help me win the Spirity Conest 2022 by: 1) Sending Gifts. 2) Voting Power Stones and Golden Tickets. Chapter 391 Leo Versus Dragon Kings (2) Unlike the Special Supreme-ranked talent, the normal talents like [Battle Axe Mastery] didn''t have any additional requirements other than spending the [Supreme Promote Points]. The only thing that Leocked right now was the [Supreme Points] as he had already umted more than two million [Supreme Promote Points] by killing the supreme-ranked dragons. ''Ding, The host spent 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] and upgraded his talent [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 4. ''Ding, The host spent 100000 [Supreme Promote Points]... ''Ding, The host spent 200000 [Supreme Promote Points]... ''Ding, The host spent One million [Supreme Promote Points] and upgraded his talent [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 7. Leo made his decision to upgrade the [Battle Axe Mastery] from the beginning and he was waiting for the right moment while umting the [Supreme Promote Points]. Because he was confident that with the help of all the perks he would get by upgrading it to level 7 supreme rank, he could kill a level 9 supreme-ranked dragon whose battle prowess was suppressed by 29 percent. [Weapon Skill - Titan Strike] ''Kacha'' The Marsh Dragon King didn''t think much and let Leo attack him as he wanted Leo to learn the gap between them. ''Once he sees the gaps between us, he wille quietly with us.'' Since their Dragon Emperor wanted the human alive, they decided to let him see that no matter what Leo does, he could not kill even the weakest dragon king, not to mention the strongest dragon king. ''Kacha'' However, in the next second, their jaws drop when they see the Marsh Dragon King''s huge head rolled on the ground. ''Who is this possible?'' ''Is he really a low-level supreme-ranked human?'' ''No, suddenly, his strength rose to level 7 supreme rank; however, it was only because of a normal talent. There is no way he could kill a level 9 supreme-ranked dragon king in a single strike.'' [What the hell! What is happening? How did he do that?] Not only the four dragon kings, hundreds of dragon generals, and thousands of dragon captains but even the Dragon God was also shocked when he saw Leo behead the Marsh Dragon King in a single strike. ''Ding, The host has killed a level 9 supreme-ranked Marsh Dragon King and gained 1000 (x 10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host has made some progress in the normal mission. Kill the remaining four dragon kings toplete the mission. ''Ding, The Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s hatching time has been reduced by 100 days after killing the Marsh Dragon King. . . . On the other hand, Leo''s head was filled with system notifications as he looked at the corpse on the ground. ''Hatching time is reduced by 100 days. What if I kill the remaining four dragon kings? Will it be reduced by another 400 days?'' The first two system notifications didn''t surprise him much; however, when he saw the third system notification, Leo was surprised and he was excited to kill the remaining four dragon kings. ''Since I have to kill them toplete the mission anyway, this is such an unexpected reward.'' Earlier when the system had collected the full information on his world, Leo had received three missions from the system. They are: 1) Mission Name: Eliminate the Dragon Rulers. Mission Type: Normal. Objective: Kill the five dragon rulers under the dragon emperor. Reward: Five Special Talents. 2) Mission Name: Dragon yer - Part 2 Mission Type: Bonus Objective: Kill as many dragons as possible. The more, the better. Reward: Every time the host kills a certain number of dragons, the percent of the effect of the [Dragon yer] will be increased. 3) Mission Name: Void Dragon''s Family Reunion. Mission Type: Special Objective: As someone who knew and experienced staying away from the family, you feel pity for the Void Dragon King. Try your best in reuniting the Void Dragon King with his family. Reward: Void Dragon Family''s absolute loyalty. Penalty: None. Earlier, Leo focused on the bonus missions and increased the effect of the [Dragon yer] from 25 percent to 29 percent. Since the five dragon kings have arrived, he started focusing on the normal mission. As for the special mission, Leo didn''t have much hope for it and since there was no penalty for it, he didn''t bother too much about it. [Absolute Devour] Before rushing towards the next dragon king, Leo devoured the corpse of the Marsh Dragon King. Since the Marsh Dragon King was a level 9 supreme-ranked dragon king, Leo''s chances of resurrecting it were very less and as for giving sentience to it was almost impossible unless he had that [Incredible Luck] from before. Therefore, the best choice for Leo was to devour the corpse. ''Ding, The host devoured the level 9 supreme-ranked dragon king. ''Ding, The special effect of the [Absolute Devour] triggered and the host received three Talent Awakening Crystals sent to his storage ring. ''What? Three Talent Awakening Crystals?'' Leo was shocked when he heard the system notifications; however, it turned into his motivation to kill the dragon kings. "Next, who wants to show me the gap between our strengths?" Leo''s eyes were focused on the Stone Dragon King as he asked them with a mocking smile on his face. "Everyone, there is no need to hold yourself back anymore. Kill that b*stard." Earlier, they were so confident and looked down on Leo that he could not even leave a scratch on the level 9 dragon king; however, he had beheaded it right in front of their eyes which was a loud p to them. Also, the Twilight Dragon King was the type to easily offend. So, with Leo''s p in their faces by killing the Marsh Dragon King right in front of their eyes, he could not bother to follow the Dragon Emperor''s words anymore. Therefore he ordered everyone, whether it was a dragon general or a dragon captain or even a dragon king, everyone except for him, to rush toward Leo to kill him. "But, Sir Twilight¡­" "There are no buts, I will take full responsibility for killing this human brat. So, you just need to kill him." Before the other dragon kings could finish their words, the Twilight Dragon King interrupted them and said he would take full responsibility. "Everyone, attack." After hearing the Twilight Dragon King''s orders, the three dragon kings looked at each other for a moment and nodded their heads before ordering their minions to attack Leo. Until now, Leo had only killed the minions of the Stone Dragon King and the Marsh Dragon King along with the thousands of the Tempest Dragon King''s minions. So, the remaining dragon king''s minions were still in their full form as they rushed toward Leo. "My next target is Little Tempest." However, Leo was not worried much as he looked at the attacksing toward him as he selected his next target. "Tempest, activate your defensive skills." After learning their lesson the hard way, the dragon kings were no longer careless and they hurriedly ordered the Tempest Dragon King to enhance his defence. [Space Maniption - Teleportation] ''Swoosh'' Leo dodged all the attacks from the dragons using his teleportation and appeared above the Astral Dragon King. "Sorry, but I changed my target to Little Astral." With an evil smile, Leo used the same tactics that he used to kill the Marsh Dragon King. ''Puchi'' Chapter 392 Leo Versus Five Dragon Kings (3) The Astral Dragon King looks at the Stone Dragon King, hoping Leo kills it because of their old feuds; however, unexpected to his expectations, Leo changes his target at thest second. "Sorry, but I changed my target to Little Astral." Leo appeared in the mid-air above the Astral Dragon King who was acting like helping the Strong Dragon King. ''Damn it.'' When he heard Leo''s words, it was toote for the Astral Dragon King as he didn''t have any time to dodge or block the iing attack. Among the five dragon kings, even though the Astral Dragon King ranked third, he was weak when ites to defence and the reason for his high ranking was thanks to his soul attacks. Leo had already thought about it and felt it was the right decision to take care of the odd one out before focusing on the remaining three dragon kings. Compared to killing the Marsh Dragon King, Leo didn''t feel any resistance while beheading the Astral Dragon King and felt as though he was cutting the cake. ''Ding, The host killed the Astral Dragon King and gained 1000 (x 10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, Normal Mission Progress: 2/5. As usual, after killing the second Dragon King, Leo''s head was filled with system notifications. ''Upgrading the [Battle Axe Mastery] to level 7 supreme-grade was the right thing to do.'' Seeing how easy it had be for him to kill the level 9 supreme rank dragons, Leo felt it was worth spending 1310000 [Supreme Promote Points]. Before entering the Grade 1 Dragon World, Leo had never expected that he could kill the level 9 supreme-ranked dragons without using the [Nether Rage Booster] or the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. However, just by spending 1.3 million [Supreme Promote Points], Leo didn''t have to worry about using his final trump cards anymore. ''With one million [Supreme Promote Points], I would gain 100 level 1 supreme ranked heroes; however, it is still an external strength. So, it''s alright for me to spend 1.3 million [Supreme Promote Points] to increase my strength as I can umte more [Supreme Promote Points] with more strength.'' With that thought in mind, Leo devoured the corpse of the Stone ''Ding, The special effect of the [Absolute Devour] triggered and the host received three Talent Awakening Crystals sent to his storage ring. ''Ding, The Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s hatching time has been reduced by 200 days after killing and devouring the Astral Dragon King. ''So, eating the corpses of these Dragon Kings gives me three Talent Awakening Stones.'' It was Leo''s second time receiving three Talent Awakening Stones after consuming a dragon king''s corpse. The first time, he thought he was just lucky; however, after seeing that the second time he also received the same, Leo concluded it was applicable to all the dragon kings he consumed. ''Also, what''s with the sudden decrease in the hatching time?'' Another thing that surprised Leo was the huge decrease in the hatching time by killing and consuming the Astral Dragon King. ''It looks like the Astral Dragon King is definitely a special one.'' With that thought in mind, Leo looked at the Twilight Dragon King waiting for his response. "What a cheap b*stard!" "As expected of a human, they use underhanded methods to win the fight!" "Everyone, activate your defensive talents and skills before attacking him. Let''s kill him." The Stone Dragon King and Tempest Dragon King were furious and cursed Leo for using the underhanded methods whereas the Twilight Dragon King ordered everyone to enhance their defence before attacking Leo. "Brat, you have sessfully angered me. Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfil that wish." The Twilight Dragon King didn''t bother to waste any time as he used his attacks on the other dragon kings. [Twilight Dragon Beam] [Tempest special des] [Stone Meteor Rain] Of course, other than the three Dragon Kings, their dragon generals, captains and the remaining dragon used their own long-range attacks. [Space Maniption - Secret Dimensional Space] However, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he stepped into the [Secret Dimensional Space] and dodged all the iing attacks. "Where did he go?" Everyone frowned when they saw Leo disappear again. "He is right behind the Stone Dragon King." Since there are more than a million Supreme-ranked Dragons, it was not a big surprise to have a hundred of spirit-type or space-type supreme-ranked dragons. They used their talents and skills to find where Leo was hiding and hurriedly informed the other dragon kings. "But, it''s toote." However, by the time these special types of dragons could alert others, Leo was already above the Stone Dragon King with his huge battle axe that was about to hack the Stone Dragon King. ''Am I going to die just like that? In the hands of a human?'' The Stone Dragon King lost all his hopes when he saw Leo appear above him and thought he was going to die. ''Kacha'' ''ng'' Soon, the huge battle axended on the Stone Dragon King; however, unlike before, Leo was unable to behead the Stone Dragon King in a single strike. What''s more surprising was, there was only a small scratch on the Stone Dragon King''s body, making Leo frown. ''So, this is how strong a level 9 supreme-ranked dragon is when they activate their defensive talents and skills.'' However, when he thought about it, Leo was no longer surprised. ''Even with the [Dragon yer], [Battle Axe Mastery] and a mid-level supreme ranked weapon, it is still not enough to kill the level 9 supreme ranked dragons that activated their defensive talents and skills.'' The reason why Leo was able to kill the previous two dragon kings was that they didn''t activate any defensive talents. So, it was a piece of cake for Leo to kill them. In the end, he came to the conclusion, ''So, as long as Iunch a sneak attack on them before they activate their defensive skills and talents, I can easily kill even the level 9 supreme-ranked dragons.'' "Haha¡­did you see that? You are able to kill the previous two dragon kings byunching the sneak attacks." Seeing that Leo failed to kill the Stone Dragon King, the Twilight Dragon King heaved a sigh of relief and mocked Leo. ''Let''s see how long he can maintain that smile.'' On the other hand, Leo didn''t bother much about the dragon king''s words and looked at Sutin, who was surrounded by more than 100 dragon generals and captains. Even then, Sutin was able to keep an equal standing against them as he killed one after another. ''Even though he doesn''t need any help, I will just clear these dragon generals and focus on the dragon kings in the end.'' Each dragon general has the strength of level 8 supreme rank and they were capable of dealing enough damage to Sutin because no matter how much healing Sutin gets by staying connected to the earth, he was clearly outnumbered. Even though Leo was unable to kill the level 9 supreme-ranked dragon kings, he was confident in killing the dragon generals. [Space Maniption - Teleportation] [Weapon Skill -Titan Strike] [Space Maniption - Teleportation] [Weapon Skill -Lacerating Strike] . . One weapon skill after another, Leo shed here and there and started killing the dragon generals and there was nothing the Dragon Kings could do about it. "Damn brat! Do you think we are the only ones who have minions? You also have one, right?" Chapter 393 [Bonus Chapter] Arrival Of The Dragon Emperor "Damn brat! Do you think we are the only ones who have minions? You also have one, right?" Since Leo was teleporting to different ces and making it hard for the three dragon kings to kill him, they looked at Sutin and revealed an evil smile. "Let''s kill his follower and let him know how it feels to lose a loyal follower." With that thought in mind, the Twilight Dragon King along with the remaining two Dragon Kings decided to kill Sutin whose strength was temperarily boosted to level 9 supreme-rank. "Twilight st" "Tempest sh" "Stone de." Soon, they targeted the Terra Minotaur Tyrant; however, after seeing the first attacks do nothing against the Terra Minotaur Tyrant, they remembered that suppression by the mysterious force on their bodies. "It looks like we have to go all out in killing that bull." The Twilight Dragon King didn''t waste any time as he ordered the other two dragon kings, "Let''s activate our bloodlines." [Twilight Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline] [Stone Dragon Lord''s Bloodline] [Wind Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline] Without wasting any time, the three dragon kings activated their bloodlines and started their fight with the Sutin who had no bloodline. ¡­ ''Ding, The host killed a level 8 supreme-ranked dragon and gained 100 (x10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed¡­ ''Ding, The¡­ . . Leo was focused on killing level 8 supreme-ranked dragons because there were only around 50 of them and by killing them, Sutin could easily fight hundreds of level 7 supreme-ranked dragons without any problem. And thanks to the [Bonus Mission], he was getting 10 times more [Supreme Promote Points] than usual. So, Leo focused more on killing the dragons and getting as many [Supreme Promote Points] as possible. By the time he killed around 10 of them, Leo felt something was wrong and looked at the three Dragon Kings, wondering what they were nning now. ''So, he was targeting Sutin?'' Seeing that the three dragon kings were nning to kill Sutin, Leo was not worried; instead, he thought, ''Should I let Sutin experience the fight with them before helping him with the Dragon Kings?'' Even though Sutin was a special type of Minotaur, the three Dragon Kings were more special than him and without a doubt, they have more battle prowess than Sutin even if they have the same level of strength. However, Leo was sure that Sutin was not the type to die so soon and by going through the life and death situation, it would help Sutin in breaking through his limits. So, he thought of waiting for sometime before taking care of the Dragon Kings. ''Until then, I will continue umting the [Supreme Promote Points] and at the same time increase the effect of the [Dragon yer].'' By now, Leo''s [Dragon yer]''s effect has reached 33 percent. Just from killing a dragon king, it increased by two percent and since he killed two dragon kings, it increaed by 33 percent. ''Ding, ,m The host has killed 10 level 8 supreme-ranked dragons. ''Ding, The reward from the [Bonus Mission]: The effect of the [Dragon yer] increased by one percent. ''Interesting¡­so, by killing 10 dragon generals, it will increase by one percent. Then, what am I wating for?'' Looking at the remaining 30 plus dragon generals, Leo revealed an evil smile and increased his speed in killing them while Sutin fought the three Dragon Kings on his own. ''The higher the effects of the [Dragon yer], the longer Sutin willst against the three Dragon Kings.'' Leo decided to let Sutin experience some blood-rushing battles with the three dragons as he silently provided him some support by increasing the effect of the [Dragon yer]. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, Leo killed 20 more level 8 supreme-ranked dragons and more than 50 level 7 supreme-ranked dragons. ''Effects of the [Dragon yer] have reached 36 percent. Not bad. I wonder whether it will work on the level 7 supreme-ranked dragons.'' Leo had almost killed all the dragon generals, so he focused on killing the dragon captains who have the strength of level 7 supreme-ranked dragons. But even after killing 50 of them, there were no changes in the title, making him wonder whether he had to kill 100 of them. ''Since Sutin was still maintaining his footing against the three dragon kings, I will check it out as there is no harm in killing more dragons anyway.'' Leo was nning to kill all the dragons anyway. So, even if his title [Dragon yer] is not increased, there was nothing for Leo to lose. "Die" ''sh'' ''Ding, The host killed a level 7 supreme-ranked dragon. . . . In less than 10 minutes, Leo killed another 50 level 7 supreme-ranked dragons as he finally received a system notification. ''Ding, The hostpleted one of the targets in the [Bonus Mission]. ''Ding, The host can now suppress all the dragon-type beings by 37 percent. ''So, it''s 100. It''s time to reach 40 percent.'' Leo knew that Sutin wouldn''tst for long against the three Dragon Kings. Even though he could kill them if he used one of his trump cards, Leo didn''t have any ns for it as he was hiding it for the Dragon Emperor who is a peak level 9 supreme-ranked dragon. Moreover, he was the permanent apostle of the Dragon God. So, Leo knew it was going to be a tough fight when he came out. Therefore, Leo wanted to increase the effect of his title [Dragon yer] to as high as possible without using any of his trump cards. ''There are around 500+ level 7 supreme-ranked dragons left and the remaining are all level 6 and below-ranked ones.'' Leo started the round 2 for his massarce as he mainly focused on killing the levle 7 supreme-ranked dragon; however, from time to time, he used the talents like [Call of Lightning] and [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] to kill all the low-level supreme-ranked dragons close to him. ¡­. Time continued to pass and another 10 minutes passed by as Sutin was unable to maintain his footing against thebined attacks of the three dragon kings who activated their bloodlines. "For a bull, you are very powerful; however, it is not enough to kill us." The Stone Dragon King scoffed at the Terra Minotaur Tyrant and rammed Sutin into the ground. "Sir Twilight, shall we kill it?" Next, he asked the Twilight Dragon King whether they should kill it. "Sure; however, he had made us spend a lot of our energy. Let''s continue stomping him to the ground just like how he stomps our minions." The Tempest Dragon King suggested they stomp the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to satisfy their ego and the remaining two dragon kings agreed without any surprise. "How long are you going to take to capture a single low-level human?" Suddenly, a loud voice resounded from the distance as a huge fiery dragon flew towards them while emitting mes all over its body. "Dragon Emperor, we are about to bring him to you." The three Dragon kings hurriedly bowed in the direction of the iing huge fiery dragon and tried to exin to him about Leo''s abnormal abilities. "No need to exin anything. You are so useless tha you can''t even capture a mere human. Let me take care of him." [Crimson me Canon] The fiery dragon''s eyes looked at the human and released one fire ball after another without giving Leo any time to dodge them. Chapter 394 Types Of Supreme-Ranked Heroes A few minutes back, [B*stard, that human is killing your world''s entire army. You canplete your breakthrough after capturing him]. The Dragon God was bing anxious when he saw how Leo killed two Dragon Kings as though they were nothing. Hence, he hurriedly contacted his permanent apostle to pay Leo a visit. "Huh? Dragon God, is the situation really that bad?" The apostle knew that Dragon God could see everything that was happening in this world and when he heard the Dragon God''s words, the Crimson Fire Dragon became serious. [Yes¡­it is. He already killed two of your dragon kings and wiped nearly 50 percent of this world''s army] The Dragon God urged the Crimson Fire Dragon because he didn''t want Leo to kill the dragons anymore. "Okay. I will leave now." Even though the Crimson Fire Dragon was in the middle of something important, he knew the current situation with the human brat was really serious after hearing the Dragon God''s words. Hence, he rushed out of his cave without wasting any time with a thought, ''I can break through to the Legend grade after I kill that brat.'' Even before the Crimson Fire Dragon met the human, he was furious for making him pause his breakthrough to the next rank. ¡­. Present, The Crimson Fire Dragon was so huge that it was Leo''s first time seeing such a huge beast that was more than 100 meters in size and his wingspan would be over one kilometer without a doubt. With a body full of red-coloured shiny crystals and two long golden-coloured horns with a tail that was covered in sharp spikes, the Crimson Fire Dragon could make any supreme-ranked being shiver. Even Leo was no exception as he felt a shiver run down his spine just from the appearance of the Crimson Fire Dragon. ''So, he is the Crimson Fire Dragon, the permanent apostle of the Dragon God.'' Nevertheless, Leo suppressed his fear quickly and silently thought in his head, ''As long as I kill him, killing the remaining dragons would be a piece of cake.'' ''At the same time, by killing him, I can make the Dragon God regret even more for bringing him to this grade 1 dragon world.'' With the help of the [Thoughts of Gods], Leo had already learned that the Crimson Fire Dragon was one of the favourite apostles of the Dragon God. Therefore, Leo thought by killing him, he could take his revenge against the Dragon God for messing with him. "Die" [Crimson Fire Canon] On the other hand, the moment he saw Leo, the Crimson Fire Dragon didn''t bother to waste any time talking with Leo or have any ns to torture Leo anymore. The Dragon God wanted only one thing and it was to kill the human brat as soon as possible because the sole presence of the human was making the Dragon God furious. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Crimson Fire Dragon spit small but powerful fireballs through his mouth, blocking all escape routes for Leo. [Space Maniption - Teleportation] At first, Leo thought of entering the [Secret Dimensional Space] to dodge the iing fireballs; however, he had a bad premonition in his heart regarding the iing fireballs. Therefore, he used teleportation to dodge the iing fireballs. ''Swoosh'' The Crimson Fire Dragon had already released more than four fireballs so far and all of them missed Leo who dodged them through his teleportation. However, the fireballs didn''t hit the random target as they paused for a moment before rushing in a particr direction. "Even if you have a teleportation talent, you could not dodge them¡­Keke." The Crimson Fire Dragon stopped releasing the fireballs through his mouth and said those words. Soon, the ten fireballs rushed towards an empty ce where Leo appeared who didn''t hesitate to teleport again. ''Swoosh'' This time, Leo teleported very far from the fireballs so that he could get some time to think about what he had to do next. ''As I thought, those fireballs are not normal.'' Even though he was hunted by the fireballs, Leo heaved a sigh of relief for not entering the [Secret Dimensional Space] because the fireballs seemed like they could pierce through the space. If they enter the [Secret Dimensional Space] and the fireballs attack him, he won''t be able to use the [Secret Dimensional Space] for another 24 hours. ''I think it is time to use one of the trump cards.'' Since the fireballs hunted him like a ghost, Leo decided to face them head-on; however, with his current strength, if he faced them head-on, he would be killed in an instant. Therefore, he decided to use one of his trump cards. ''It''s finally time to use the [Nether Rage Booster].'' Looking at the ten iing fireballs, Leo revealed an evil smile and activated the much-awaited special effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain]. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, Leo felt mysterious energy appear inside his body that increased his power at an incredible rate. ''Ding, The host has activated the special effect [Nether Rage Booster]. ''Ding, The host''s strength will be increased to level 9 special supreme rank for one minute. Followed by the sudden appearance of the mysterious energy, two system notifications rang in his head, making Leo be confident. Unlike the Mortal Grade, in the Supreme Grade, there were three types of Supreme-ranked heroes. The first one is a human who became a supreme hero with normal talent and he is called Normal Supreme Hero or Supreme Hero. In the second type, the humans who became supreme heroes with a special talent, are called Special Supreme Hero. As for the third category, humans who became supreme-ranked heroes with the help of super special talents fall under this category. Unlike the first two types, the third type didn''t have any levels in them and if these super special supreme heroes had attack type of talent, then they would be able to find the level 9 supreme-ranked heroes just like how Leo was able to fight with the help of the [Nether Rage Booster]. However, if they have support-type talents instead of a battle-type super special talent, then they have to be careful and find some good support before venturing to dangerous ces. For example, Leo has two support-type super special talents like [Absolute Devour] and [Talent Promoter] that reached the supreme rank. With the help of these talents, he could create a huge army that would be loyal to him and protect him. There was another super special talent [Undead Summoner] which was also a supreme rank; however, it requires some time to umte strength to gain a powerful undead army that could take down the peak supreme-ranked opponents. Nevertheless, Leo''s first sentient undead being had already be a Legend-grade Devil who could take down hundreds of peak supreme-ranked beings with ease. ''Even though my [Battle Axe Master] has upgraded to level 7 supreme-rank, if not for the [Dragon yer] or [Supreme Nether Domain], it would have been very hard for me to kill even the level 5 supreme-ranked dragons not to mention level 9 supreme-ranked dragons.'' p Leo knew the difference between having a normal talent and special talent and super special talent. ''Boom'' Soon, the ten fireballs hit Leo once after another and a huge explosion urred. ***** Support the Book with Golden Tickets and Gifts. Chapter 395 Call Of The Lightning - Lightning Of Obliteration "What? Did he give up after seeing that he could not escape the fireballs released by the Dragon Emperor?" "I thought he would put up a great resistance against the Dragon Emperor; however, it looks like we were overestimating him." The Dragon Kings scoffed at Leo who didn''t bother to dodge the iing fireballs anymore and got hit by them. "Did you see that? You human master was killed in a single attack by our Dragon Emperor." At the same time, they stepped on Sutin and mocked him for following such a coward;y master. "It looks like Dragons are not only greedy but also have amnesia." Even though Sutin was not following Leo for long, he was quite confident in Leo''s abilities and because of those abilities along with the great intelligence shown by Leo made him be Leo''s loyal follower. So, when he heard the dragon kings mocking his master, Sutin was angry and wanted to stomp them to death; however, he remembered Leo''s first lesson. ''There is no need to get angered by the opponent''s words and if you get angry and act ordingly, then you are taking a ticket to the other world.'' These were Leo''s first lesson which made Sutin control his anger and muttered the next lesson, ''Keep calm and counter if possible; otherwise, mention the embarrassing moments from the opponent''s past.'' "Just a few moments back, my so-called human master has killed two dragon kings and nearly a million supreme-ranked dragons. No wonder, the dragons are known for their thick skin." Even though Sutin was fully covered in injuries and currently he was under the foot of the Stone Dragon King, he didn''t miss the chance to mock the dragons. "You¡­.you might be missing your master. Why don''t I send you to him." Sutin''s words hit the sore spots of the three Dragon Kings and decided to kill him. ''Swoosh'' "I think it is you who might be missing your two deadrades. Why don''t I send you to them?" Suddenly, a portal appeared between the Twilight Dragon King and the Tempest Dragon King as Leo''s words resounded from it. "What?" "Now, die." However, Leo didn''t give them any time to react as he used his [Call of Lightning]. In the nextnd, a dozen powerful looking lightning shes came from the skies andnded on the three dragon kings, Twilight Dragon King, Tempest Dragon King and the Stone Dragon King respectively. "D-damn¡­you¡­brat¡­" Before they could finish their words, the three Dragon Kings'' bodies were damaged beyong recognition. ''Ding, The host killed the Stone Dragon King and gained 1000 (x10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed the Twilight Dragon King and gained 1000 (x10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host killed the Tempest Dragon King and gained 1000 (x10) [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The effect of the title [Dragon yer] rose to 44 percent. (2 percent per dragon king). . . . In the next second, Leo''s head waspletely filled with the system notifications; however, his main focus was only on the title [Dragon yer]. ''Phew¡­ it has crossed 40 percent and reached 44 percent. I think I can take down the Dragon Emperor now.'' Even though Leo''s strength was temporarily boosted to level 9 supreme rank thanks to the [Nether Rage Booster], Leo felt it was impossible to defeat the Dragon Emperor. So, he was hoping to increase the effect of the [Dragon yer] to as high as possible before fighting the Dragon Emperor. ''Anyway, I have only 50 seconds left. I think I better clear all these low-level dragons too.'' Even though Leo used one of his two trump cards, he didn''t directly rush towards the Dragon Emperor because if he failed to kill it within the 50 seconds, he would be swarmed by all the level 7 and below supreme-ranked dragons which was definitely not what Leo wants. "How dare you kill my underlings right under my nose." On the other hand, the Crimson Fire Dragon who was already angry regarding Leo became furious and was about to use another attack. [Call of Lightning - Lightning Snakes] However, before the Crimson Fire Dragon could use any of his attacks, Leo used the second effect of the [Call of the Lightning] talent that looks simr to the [Mighty Combustion - Radius st]. The only change was the element. Instead of fire, there would be lightning which causes much more damage than the [Radius st]. ''Boom'' In the next second, thousands of lightning snakes appeared around Leo and rushed towards the enemies within a 100 kilometers radius around Leo. Whenever a lightning snake passed through the bodies of the dragons, they would instantly copse to the ground. ''Holy heavens¡­this attack keeps the corpses fully intact.'' Seeing the fully intact corpses on the ground, Leo was excited because it would make it easier for Leo to consume them. ''Ding, The host killed¡­ ''Ding, The host killed¡­ . . One after another system notifcations rang in Leo''s head; however, Leo''s eyes were only on a special system notification. ''Ding, The host killed all the dragons except for the Dragon Emperor in this grade 1 dragon world. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the [Normal Mission]. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with the five special talents. Please check them in your [Hero''s Interfae]. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the [Bonus Mission]. ''Ding, The host''s [Dragon yer]''s effect has been increased to 50 percent. The host can now suppress all the Dragon-type beings by 50 percent. ''Ding, The Addtional reward for the [Bonus Mission] will be one million [Supreme Promote Points] ''Finally, Ipleted two missions back to back.'' Compared to thepletion of the [Normal Mission], Leo was excited to see the rewards from the [Bonus Mission]. ''Excellent. I still have 30 seconds left.'' Leo focused on the remaining time left for him to keep his [Call of the Lightning] talent at level 9 supreme-rank. That''s right! ording to the [Nether Rage Booster], Leo could only boost one of his special talents or a normal talent to level 9 supreme rank for one minute. After thinking, Leo decided to choose the [Call of the Lightning] because it was a powerful attacking talent he got. Even though he has [Mighty Combustion] and [Heavenly Fire Purgatory], Leo felt it would be useless against the Crimson Fire Dragon who was a fire-type dragon. Therefore, he chose [Call of the Lightning] which was not limited by the regr Elemental Advantage and could deal high damage against any regr elements like Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. [Elemental Healing - Speed Recovery] After clearing the cannon fodder, Leo used his supreme-ranked healing talent to heal Sutin. Desite having a great healing talent, Leo wanted Sutin to recover from his injuries as soon as possible to assist him in killing the Dragon Emperor. ''I hope I can deal as much damage as possible with the special effect of the [Call of the Lightning].'' Nevertheless, Leo didn''t wait for Sutin as he rushed towards the huge Dragon Emperor. [Call of Lightning - Lightning of Obliteration] "Brat, you destroyed my entire army¡­I am going to kill you." The Crimson Fire Dragon no longer looked down on Leo as he used one of his powerful attacks to counter Leo''s attack. [Vengeance of Crimon Nova]. ''What? I can''t move.'' Leo had already released a powerful lightning and was hoping to see how much he could do to the Crimson Fire Dragon; however, at the same time, he saw a huge fiery Sun appeared in front of Leo. Leo''s first response was to escape the attack; however, he was unable to move. ***** Will it be a mutual destruction? Chapter 396 [Bonus Chapter] Final Trump Card ''Rumble'' ''Boom'' A long, thick and powerful lightning sh descended from the sky andnded on the huge Crimson Fire Dragon creating a huge explosion. "Roar" Even though Leo was unable to see what happened because of the huge supernova and the smoke that was blocking his view, he heard a painful roar from the Crimson Fire Dragon who fell to the ground. ''It looks like even that [Lightning of Obliertation] was unable to kill him.'' Seeing that he didn''t get any system notification, Leo shook his head in disappointment before looking at the huge supernova that was slowlying toward him. ''Let''s escape from here.'' [Dark Nether Spectre] Leo tried to escape; however, even though his body turnedpletely transparent, Leo was unable to move from his ce. ''Ding, Even though the host can use his talents and skill, he could not move from his ce. ''Hm.'' Leo frowned and tried to stay calm because the more anxious he became the more difficult it would be for Leo to think of a n to escape the iing supernova. ''System, upgrade my normal talent [Dual Golden Skin Hardening] to level 6 supreme rank.'' Looking at the huge supernova that wasing toward him, Leo hurriedly ordered the system to upgrade his strongest defensive talent. ''Ding, The host spent 313000 [Supreme Promote Points] and upgraded the level 1 supreme-ranked [Dual Golden Skin Hardening] to level 6 supreme rank. ''As I expected, the duration of that talent''s special effect increased from 2 seconds to 10 seconds.'' There was a specific reason why he chose to upgrade the [Dual Golden Skin Hardening] because, unlike most normal talents, this talent gained a special effect after it upgraded to the supreme rank. However, the duration of that special effect was only 2 seconds which was definitely enough to face the iing supernova. Therefore, he upgraded to level 6 supreme rank because he was confident that the duration would be increased. Nevertheless, Leo didn''t use the talent yet because it couldst only ten seconds; instead, he used the ultimate effects of the [Earth Maniption] and [Water Maniption]. [Earth Maniption - Absolute Earth Wall] [Water Maniption -Waster Missiles] Even though Leo was unable to move from his ce, there was no problem for him to use his talents. So, he used the effects of the supreme-ranked special talents that could decrease the power of the iing Supernova. ''Boom'' Soon, hundreds of water missiles entered the Supernova; however, there seemed to be no effect on the iing Supernova, making Leo silently think, ''Should I use my [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]?'' Using the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] was thest trump card, Leo was hoping to use against the Dragon Emperor; however, the problem is it would onlyst for one minute. After seeing how the special effect of the [Call of the Lighting] that was boosted to the level 9 supreme-ranked was unable to do anything, Leo was worried that one minute won''t be enough for him to kill the Dragon Emperor. ''Moreover, his single normal attack was already making me worried and who knows how many powerful attacks it was hiding.'' That''s the reason why Leo was hesitating in using the bloodline because he wanted to find out a few more things about the Crimson Fire Dragon before using his ultimate trump card. ''Boom'' Despite the fact that the Supernova was moving very slowly, it had already reached Leo and came into contact with the Earthen Wall summoned using the [Earth Maniption]. However, the moment the supernova touched the wall, it melted down, making Leo clench his fists. [Dual Golden Skin Hardening - Hundredfold Defense] [Five Elemental Resistance - Fire Resitance] After his earthen wall disappeared, Leo used the remaining two talents that could increase his chances of survival against the Supernova. ''Aargh'' However, despite using them, Leo already started feeling scorching pain even before the Supernoval coulde into contact. ''This won''t do...I have to stay alive for now.'' Once he saw how powerful that iing supernova was, Leo no longer hesitated as he used his final trump card. ''[Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline], activate.'' .... On the other hand, Crimson Fire Dragon finally opened his eyes after losing consciousness for a few seconds with a shocked look in his eyes. ''H-he was able to deal such a powerful attack to me. If not for the [Dragon God''s Blessing], I would have died from that attack.'' The Crimson Fire Dragon, for the first time in his life, was afraid when he thought about how powerful Leo''s [Call of the Lightning - Lightning of Obliteration]. ''Even though surviving my Supernova is almost impossible for him but still...I have to kill him at any cost.'' The Dragon Emperor became determined to kill Leo at any cost after seeing how powerful hisst attack was. No matter how confident the Crimson Fire Dragon used to be in the past, after experiencing Leo''sst attack, he was no longer confident when ites to Leo. Therefore, he was even more determined to kill because letting him grow anymore would be a danger for him and the Dragon God. [Brat, you are alive right?] Amidst his thoughts, the Crismon Fire Dragon heard the Dragon God''s words that were filled with worry. ''I am alive and sorry for making you worry, Dragon God.'' Just like how the Crimson Fire Dragon was a favourite apostle for the Dragon God, the Dragon God was the favourite god for the Crimson Fire Dragon to whom he was willing to do anything. Hence, he apologized to the Dragon God. [It''s alright! Just kill that brat and I will help you rebuild this world again from scratch. Let''s make this world even more powerful by nurturing only top-ss dragons] Even though all the dragons in this grade 1 dragon world were killed by Leo, the Dragon God assured the Crimson Fire Dragon not to worry about anything and only focus on killing Leo. ''Yes, Dragon God.'' Soon, the Crimson Fire Dragon flew out of the smoke and saw what was happening outside. ''What?'' However, in the next second, the Crimson Fire Dragon was shocked by what he had seen. Chapter 397 [Fake Immortal Gods Bloodline] ''[Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline], activate.'' Before the supernova could touch him, Leo didn''t hesitate to activate his bloodline because ording to the bloodline description, he would temporarily be invincible for one minute. Of course, invincible within the supreme rank. ''Ding, The host has activated the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. For the next one minute, all his talents whether they are normal or special will be upgraded to peak supreme rank. ''Ding, The host can survive one attack above supreme rank for the next one minute. ''Huh? All special and normal talents will be upgraded to the peak supreme rank? One attack above supreme rank?'' When he saw the two system notifications, Leo was shocked and in the next second, his shock turned into excitement. Also, the mysterious energy that appeared inside his body when he activated [Nether Rage Booster] appeared once again and increased his physical strength to the peak supreme rank. ''I-I feel like I can punch through this supernova with ease.'' Compared to before, Leo felt so many times more powerful and looking at the supernova in arm''s reach, Leo felt confident in destroying the supernova with his punch. [Abnormal Giant Strength] Nevertheless, Leo didn''t want that feeling to get to his head as he used the level 9 supreme ranked special talent [Abnormal Giant Strength] before punching the supernova. ''Huh? Don''t tell me he is trying to destroy my supernova with a punch.'' Just when he was about to punch the supernova, the Crimson Fire Dragon flew out of the smoke and saw his actions. ''Boom'' Before the Crimson Fire Dragon could mock Leo regarding his actions, he saw something that froze his mind. Because Leo had sessfully destroyed the supernova with his fist which caused a huge explosion; however, even in that explosion, Leo''s silhouette could be seen standing. ''What? How did he do it?'' [What? How did he do it?] Both the Crimson Fire Dragon and the Dragon God were shocked when they saw how easily Leo punched through the supernova. [Brat, he had awakened the Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline. It must be at level 1. So, it is better for you to survive for one minute. Hurry¡­stall for some time] Nevertheless, unlike the Crimson Fire Dragon, the Dragon God was able to figure out how Leo was able to do it in no time and hurriedly urged the Crimson Fire Dragon to stall for one minute. ''What? I have to stall for one minute?'' The Crimson Fire Dragon had never run away from a fight or stalled for a time during a fight. So, he felt it was a disgraceful act. However, the Crimson Fire Dragon backed his actions as ''There is no such thing called disgraceful act when ites to survival.'' Once he came to that conclusion, the Crimson Fire Dragon stretched his huge wings to fly away. "Huh? Trying to escape? I think the [Lightning of Obliteration] misses you. So, why don''t you say hello to it once again." Even though [Call of the Lightning]''s special effect was under cooldown, thanks to the bloodline''s invincible status, it came out of the cooldown. Earlier, he thought the [Lightning of Obliteration] was not effective on the Crimson Fire Dragon; however, thanks to the system feature [Thoughts of the Gods], Leo knew how powerful his earlier attack was. Therefore, he decided to use it on the Crimson Fire Dragon once again. [Call of the Lightning - Lightning of Obliteration] ''Rumble'' ''Sizzle'' In the next second, thunder roared in the sky as a much more powerful lightning sh than before descended onto the Crimson Fire Dragon. [Use the legendary item I bestowed to you] The Dragon God knew that the Crimson Fire Dragon had to use his one-time protection in the earlier attack and now, the same attack but looked even more deadly descended from the sky. Hence, the Drago God hurriedly warned the Crimson Fire Dragon to use the legend-grade defensive item. ''Boom'' Just when the lightning sh was about tond on the Crimson Fire Dragon, a golden barrier appeared around the Dragon Emperor blocking the attack. However, the barrier didn''tst for long as it was destroyed by the lightning sh and caused a huge explosion that sted the Crimson Fire Dragon away. ''Growl Nevertheless, in the next second, the Crimson Fire Dragon stood up and angrily looked at Leo, "Is that all you got?" "No" Leo always thinks of the worst while fighting the opponent. Therefore, he had already prepared his next attack in case the Crimson Fire Dragon survives his first attack. [Mighty Combustion - Supreme Firestorm] It was the upgraded version of his [Firestorm] where it would be twice the size of the original firestorm. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Supreme Firestorm moved towards the Crimson Fire Dragon, trying to absorb him into it. [Legendary barrier, activate] ''Boom'' However, just like earlier, a golden barrier appeared around the Crimson Fire Dragon and of course, there was another collision when the Supreme Firestorm touched the golden barrier. ''Huh? Does he still have that legendary barrier?'' Leo thought it was only a one-time legendary grade defensive item; however, he didn''t feel it was not one-time. ''Wait a second¡­is that an unlimited usage item?'' Leo had already prepared the third attack ready in case he failed to kill the Crimson Fire Dragon in the second attack also. However, he was worried about the legendary item that was activated by the Crimson Fire Dragon. "Let''s see how many times you can use the barrier." Leo didn''t have much time to waste because he has less than 30 seconds before his bloodline gets deactivated; however, he still said those words with confidence because he was hoping either the Crimson Fire Dragon or the Dragon God answers his question. "Go on and use as many attacks as possible; however, I have this legendary grade item." To his surprise, the Crimson Fire Dragon seemed very confident and mocked Leo, "What about you? Your bloodline will be deactivated soon. At that time, I am going to take good care of you." ''Huh?'' Hearing the Crimson Fire Dragon''s words, Leo frowned and thought, ''What should I do now?'' Chapter 398 Descent Of The Dragon God The Crimson Fire Dragon had already learned about Leo''s bloodline from the Dragon God. ording to the information he received about the bloodline, he just had to stall for one minute and wait for the other party''s bloodline to get deactivated. ''But what he didn''t know was that I can only use this legend-gade item one more time before it gets destroyed.'' On the surface, the Crimson Fire Dragon acted confident and arrogant; however, in his heart, he was worried that Leo used two of his powerful attacks on him. ''So, it is a three-time usage item.'' However, what the Crimson Fire Dragon didn''t know was that Leo already heard his inner thoughts, making him confident. ''Time to speed up things.'' Since there were still 20 seconds left for his bloodline to get deactivated, Leo was confident in using two attacks in the next 20 seconds. [Tri-coloured Poison Tornado - Tornado st] Once Leo became confident, he used a normal effect of his peak supreme-ranked special talent. [Golden Barrier] By default, the Crimson Fire Dragon activated the barrier and soon, the four tornadoes that appeared in front of Leo sted uponing into contact with the barrier. "See? No matter how many attacks you use, it is not going to work on me¡­Haha." The Crimson Fire Dragon chuckled after blocking Leo''s third item while hoping, ''There are only 15 seconds left. I can do this.'' [Water Maniption - Ten thousand water missiles] However, why would Leo let go of such a wonderful opportunity? The moment the barrier was destroyed, he didn''t bother to listen to the Crimson Fire Dragon''s words as he directly used his water-type special talent. ording to the elemental advantage, water-type attacks have additional damage on the fire-type beings. Therefore, Leo decided to end the fight with a water-type attack that could definitely kill the Crimson Fire Dragon. ''Damn it¡­I guess, this brat is not giving up until thest second.'' Crimson Fire Dragon cursed Leo for not giving up when he said the unlimited uses of the legendary item. Since that legendary item was already destroyed after using it three times, the Crimson Fire Dragon became anxious and hurriedly activated his bloodline. ''[Ancient Fire God''s Bloodline], activate.'' After activating the bloodline, the Crimson Fire Dragon activated one of his special defensive talents to block the iing water missiles. However, he was not confident that he was going to survive the iing attack because he had seen how powerful Leo''s every attack had be thanks to the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. Moreover, it wasmon knowledge about the elemental advantage of Water-attacks to deal deadly attacks on the Fire-type beings. ''Dragon God, what should I do now?'' Therefore, even after making his own preparations, the Crimson Fire Dragon asked the Dragon God whether he still had anything he could do to stop the iing water missiles. [Damn it¡­I don''t have any God Essence. Even if I contact the Main Body, it will take some time to get the God Essence] The Dragon God that was currently watching over the grade 1 Dragon God was only the remnant spirit. So, there were so many limitations on it. Nevertheless, the remnant spirit thought about it for a moment. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Soon, powerful water missiles rushed towards the Crimson Fire Dragon, dealing great damage to him. Every time a water missilended on the Crimson Fire Dragon, he would lose 2-3 dragon scales from his body. There were exactly ten thousand water missiles and if all those water missilesnded on the Crimson Fire Dragon, he would be left with no dragon scales on his body. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' The Crimson Fire Dragon roared in pain with each water missile hitting him while looking at the sky, hoping the Dragon God would do something to save him. [Even though I own this world, I can''t enter it. Let it be. Who cares about the rules] Seeing his favourite apostle groaning in pain, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God could not take it anymore and decided to break the rules. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the remnant spirit of the dragon god descended onto the grade 1 world. [You have already killed one of my apostles and now you are nning to kill another one?] The remnant spirit of the Dragon God looked like a young man in his mid-twenties however, he looked transparent just like all the remnant spirits that Leo had seen so far. ''Huh? Is he the dragon god?'' For a second, Leo was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Dragon God''s remnant spirit in front of him. [Dragon Barrier] With azy look, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God stretched his hand and soon a golden barrier appeared around the remnant spirit and the Dragon Emperor. The golden-coloured barrier looked simr to the barrier that the Crimson Fire Dragon had summoned earlier; however, it looked much more powerful and it blocked all the water missiles. "Dragon God¡­you have finallye here." Even though the remnant spirit of the Dragon God descended into the grade dragon world, the Crimson Fire Dragon had taken quite a lot of damage already. However, it was not life-threatening and when the Crimson Fire Dragon saw that his God had materialized in front of him, he felt quite relieved before losing his consciousness. [You have endured so much because of me. Don''t worry, I will heal you; however, before that, let me take care of that b*stard] The remnant spirit of the Dragon God was so furious with Leo''s actions of killing Morgan, all the dragons in this grade 1 dragon world and injuring his favourite apostle to the point where he was barely alive. Therefore, he could not control his rage and decided to kill Leo first before healing the Crimson Fire Dragon. [Let me show you what a real missile looks like] Without wasting any time, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God muttered, [Arcane Dragon Missiles - Single Strike]. In the next second, a more golden-coloured dragon phantom appeared above the dragon god''s head and with a snap, a firey missile released from the phantom''s mouth. Chapter 399 [Bonus Chapter] Immortal Dragon Saliva In some unknown realm, A young man dressed in golden robes opened his eyes for a moment and frowned, ''Huh? Why did he enter the mortal?'' ''Sigh¡­if that b*stard found out that my remnant spirit has descended into a grade 1 world, he would make a lot of fuss about it.'' He was none other than the main body of the Dragon God and he sighed when he realized his connection with the remnant spirit had weakened a lot. ''With the current connection I have with him, I can''t even ask him for what reason he had descended.'' After signing for a moment, the Dragon God thought, ''I will just wait for him toe out of the world and ask him the reason for his descent.'' Since it was his words, the Dragon God was not worried about the appearance of the other gods because they were the only ones who could do something to his remnant spirit. As for the natives of the world, whether it was a peak supreme rank being or a legend rank being or even a higher rank being, they can''t destroy his remnant spirit. ''Wait a second..is it something to do with that human brat who killed my Dragon Summoner?'' Suddenly, the Dragon God thought of Leo because he was the one who sent his remnant spirit to watch how Leo would be tortured by his dragons in the Grade 1 dragon world. However, in the next second, the Dragon God removed that thought from his head as he convinced himself, ''No¡­how could he do that? He is just a low-level supreme-rank brat. Even if he was a peak legend rank being, there was nothing he could do to my remnant spirit.'' ''Anyway, I have to increase my God Essence.'' Soon, the Dragon God closed his eyes and went back to his mediation. ¡­. In the Grade Dragon World, [Arcane Dragon Missiles - Single Strike] [Let''s see how you will survive that attack?] After releasing a Dragon Missile, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God was confident that there was no way Leo could survive his attack even if the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] was activated. [Immortal Dragon''s Saliva] Next, he looked at the unconscious Crimson Fire Dragon and summoned a golden-coloured exquisite bottle out of nowhere and poured a single drop on the Crimson Fire Dragon''s body. ''Swiish'' Soon, the Crimson Fire Dragon''s body started healing at an incredible speed. It was so much faster than the Dragon Missile released by the Dragon God''s remnant spirit that in less than a second, the injuries of the Crimson Fire Dragon disappeared without any trace and the red-coloured shining dragon scales also started growing back. As the red-coloured dragon scales started growing, the Crimson Fire Dragon opened his eyes and there was no longer any tiredness in his eyes. [Child¡­wake up and see how I will be destroying that brat.] The entire process from where the remnant spirit of the Dragon God summoned a small exquisite bottle to the point where the Crimson Fire Dragon opened his eyes, it only took l five seconds. And hearing the words of the Dragon God''s remnant spirit, the Crimson Fire Dragon looked at Leo with an excited look in his eyes. ''Boom'' Soon, the powerful-looking dragon missile hit Leo''s body directly and in the next second, there was a huge explosion. The explosion was so huge that even the remnant spirit and the Crimson Fire Dragon were pushed back from the impact. [Huh? It looks like my abilities are already sealed] Seeing that he was pushed back by the impact of his own attack, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God frowned and silently muttered to himself. Whether it was a God or God''s remnant spirit, they were not allowed to enter the worlds unless they were given permission. Some might think why there were remnant spirits in the [Treasure Lands] if that were really the rule. The reason for that was, [Treasure Lands] were not a part of the world; instead, they were a separate space that was created by the Gods to leave their inheritance for the natives of that world. Even though the remnant spirits were invincible inside the [Treasure Land], they have limited God essence and if by any chance, they entered the world by leaving the [Treasure Land], they won''t survive for long depending on the God Essence inside their bodies. At the same time, to stop them from killing the natives of the world using their Godly abilities, their battle prowess would be automatically sealed just after a few seconds of their descent. [Even though it was my first time descending onto the world, I never expected my abilities to be sealed so fast] The remnant spirit has only heard about the rules and it was his first time breaking them. So, he was a little surprised to see how strict the rules were. [No matter how strict the rules, they were still so slow because not only I killed that brat but I even saved my favourite apostle] The remnant spirit continued to think silently in his head as he looked at the smoke in the distance that was created after the explosion. [I don''t think I can find even a single piece of his body now¡­Hehe] Looking at the smoke, the remnant spirit could not help but evilly chuckle to himself as he said to the Crimson Fire Dragon behind him. [Since I have taken care of that human brat, I will take my leave now] "Sorry for making you descend onto this world just to take care of him, Dragon God." The Crimson Fire Dragon was embarrassed as he hurriedly apologized to the Dragon God and at the same time, he thanked, "Also, thank you for saving me. I will continue to work hard and prove my worth to you." [I know] The remnant spirit nodded his head and continued, [Anyway, I can''t stay here for much longer; otherwise, my body will disintegrate into this world] After saying those, the remnant spirit was about to leave the world and that''s when he heard a voice beside his ear, "Where do you think you are going?" ''[Spirit Swallowing Ability], activate.'' Chapter 400 God-Level Attack A few moments back, ''Damn it...how can he descend like that? Does he care so much about the Crimson Fire Dragon that he even descended?'' Leo cursed as he was not expecting the Dragon God''s remnant spirit that was watching his actions from the beginning. Leo killed his temporary apsotle Dragon Summoning Hero, other than making hime to the grade 1 or grade 2 world, the Dragon God didn''t act personally. He killed millions of dragons in this Grade 1 Dragon World; however, the Dragon God didn''t descend. He killed the five dragon kings but still, it was not enough for the Dragon God to make his move; however, just when he was about to kill the Crimson Fire Dragon it shows how much the Dragon God cares about him. ''There is still 10 seconds left for my bloodline to get deactivated.'' Even though he was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Dragon God''s remnant spirit, Leo was not worried much about the iing attack because he was sure that he would survive the attack. ''Ding, An additional effect of the Bloodline: The host can survive any one attack that was above the Legend rank. This was where Leo''s confidence came from regarding his survival from the iing dragon missile. ''I don''t exactly know how powerful the remnant spirit of the Dragon God is; however, I am sure about one thing, it is impossible to fight him with my current abilities.'' Since Leo was confident about the iing missile, he was thinking of the next problem that he had to face after surviving the dragon missile. ''I only have one thing that can help me survive.'' Soon, Leo''s eyes fell on the unconscious Crimson Fire Dragon whose injuries were rapidly healed with the help of the Immortal Dragon Saliva. Even though it was not a good thing for Leo if the Crimson Fire Dragon was fully recovered, Leo thought of a good idea because of that. [Supreme Nether Domain - Solo Domain] In the next second, he activated the second effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain]. ''Ding, The effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain] and the [Dragon yer] can''t be stacked. ''Ding, Exchanging the host''s title from [Dragon yer] to [Supreme Killer]. ''Ding, For the next ten minutes, the Crimson Fire Dragon''s battle prowess will be surprised by 60 percent. (10 percent from the title [Spreme Killer] and 50 percent from the [Solo Domain]). System notifications resounded in Leo''s head. Even though there were two targets within Leo''s one kilometer radius, the system didn''t consider the remnant spirit as an opponent and only selected the Crimson Fire Dragon. Nevertheless, Leo was also hoping to reduce the battle prowess of the Crimson Fire Dragon because he was nning to take the Crimson Fire Dragon as his hostage to escape this world alive. ''As long as I am careful, I can negotiate a deal with the Dragon God''s remnant spirit.'' Since the remnant spirit of the Dragon God even descended onto the world to save the Crimson Fire Dragon, Leo could tell that Crimson Fire Dragon was his only ticket to get out of this world alive. ''No matter how powerful I am and how many trump cards I have, I can''t win a fight against the remnant spirit of the Dragon God.'' Leo knew there were some rules that prevent the Gods and the remnant spirits from descending onto the worlds; however, Leo didn''t know what they were. So, he could only think of using the Crimson Fire Dragon as his hostage. ''System, Can I speed up the refinement of the remnant spirit?'' Nevertheless, Leo didn''t bother to check all the system notifications or other things because he had to increase his chances. So, he thought about the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] and the remnant spirit that he swallowed two days back. ''Boom'' Before he could get a reply from the system, the dragon missile hit him, causing a huge explosion. Even though Leo had so many peak-level supreme-ranked defensive talents thanks to his [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline], Leo didn''t bother to use them to block the iing dragon missile. Because he was sure that there was no way he could block an attack that was above the Legend rank...which might be a God-level attack. ''Ding, The host received a God-level attack. Triggered the special effect of the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. Just as the dragon missile touched Leo, he received the system notification exining about the special effect. ''If I believed that b*stard Abyssal Demon God''s words, I would have missed such a Godly Bloodline.'' After the explosion, Leo recalled the system notification and seeing how there was not a single injury on his body, Leo cursed the Abyssal Demon God and felt that he had made the right decision in selecting the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. ''Ding, The host can use the Fragments of the God Stones to speed up the refinements or upgrade speed. Before Leo could think of anything, he received an answer from the system regarding the question he asked before the explosion. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] ispletely filled thanks to the Godly Attack from the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. ''What?'' Leo was surprised before revealing an exciting smile; however, that was not the end of his surprises because he received another system notification that made Leo rub his eyes. [Thoughts of the Gods - Even though it was my first time descending onto the world, I never expected my abilities to be sealed so fast] Thanks to the system feature, Leo could see what the remnant spirit of the Dragon God was thinking in his head. ''What? His abilities were sealed? So, that is the punishment for descending to the world.'' Finally, Leo felt that there was no need to take any hostage to survive; instead, he even thought of something else. [Thoughts of the Gods - Anyway, I can''t stay here for much longer; otherwise, my body will disintegrate into this world] ''Huh? He is trying to leave?'' Leo revealed an evil smile on his face and silently muttered, ''Since you have descended, then there is no need to go back anymore.'' [Space Maniption - Teleportation] ''Swoosh'' Leo disappeared from the center of the crater with an evil smile on his face. ***** Send Golden Tickets for more Bonus Chapters. Chapter 401 Rewards From Spirit Refinement [Space Maniption - Teleportation] Leo didn''t bother to waste his time anymore because he knew that if the remnant spirit of the Dragon God leaves this world, there was no way for him to take revenge against the Dragon God. Even though the main body of the Dragon God would still remain intact after killing the remnant spirit, Leo wanted to cause some damage to him by destroying his remnant spirit. ''System, speed up the refinement of the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God and use the special effect of the Fragments of the God Stone to reset the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability].'' Although Leo''s [Spirit Swallowing Ability] was powerful and heaven-defying, he could not refine two remnant spirits at the same time at the current ability''s level. Since he has more than 50 fragments of the God Stones, Leo didn''t hesitate in using them to speed up the spirit refinement process. At the same time, he didn''t forget about the cooldown of one year for swallowing the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God. ''Ding, The host used two fragments of the God Stones to speed up the spirit refinement of the remnant spirit. ''Ding, The host has sessfully refined the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God and received: 1) One unit of God Essence. 2) Grade 1 Abyssal World Ticket. 3) Normal World Seed. ''Ding, Since the host refined the remnant spirit of a Godly Being, the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] is 12 months. ''Ding, The host used the special effect of the four Fragments of the God Stones to reduce the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] by 12 months. Note: The special effect of a single fragment of the God Stone can reduce the cooldown of the system abilities by three months. ''Ding, The host can use the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] without any problem. Soon, Leo''s head was filled with system notifications and he was excited about the rewards he gained from refining the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God. However, Leo didn''t have the time to check those rewards as his goal for using the Fragments of the God Stones and their special effects on the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] was to swallow the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. ¡­. ''Huh? Why are my battle prowess still suppressed?'' While listening to the remnant spirit''s words, the Crimson Fire Dragon thought something was not right and looked at the smoke as he wondered, ''Is he still alive?'' ''No¡­how can he still be alive after the Dragon God''s attack?'' Nevertheless, the Crimson Fire Dragon instantly rejected that thought because there was no way for a supreme-ranked human to survive an attack of the remnant spirit of the Godly being. ''Maybe there is a duration for the suppression. It will eventually go away after some time.'' This was the conclusion that the Crimson Fire Dragon hade to after thinking for a moment before apologizing and thanking the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. ''Swoosh'' However, in the next second, he saw Leo''s silhouette sh behind the remnant spirit as he heard Leo speak, "Where do you think you are leaving?" [Spirit Swallowing Ability - Capture] Since the remnant spirit''s battle prowess was sealed, there was no way for him to sense Leo until he was close by. Moreover, at the same time, the remnant spirit didn''t have any trump card to escape or counter Leo. ''Swiish'' Before he could realize what was happening, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God felt a strong suction force from above. [What the hell is that?] Looking at the huge transparent furnace above his head, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God shouted out loud with an anxious look on his face. Even if the remnant spirit has the godly effects, it was easily sucked by the furnace inside the [Treasure Land] whereas the remnant spirit of the Dragon God had its Godly Abilities sealed. Therefore, there was no chance for him to escape as he was forcefully sucked into the Golden Furnace. [Brat, let me out; otherwise, you don''t know the consequences of¡­] The remnant spirit was shocked and at the same time, he was anxious because not only did Leo survive his attack but he was also able to trap him inside a mysterious item. Nevertheless, he didn''t show any of it on his face because the remnant spirit was afraid that the moment he showed his anxiety to his opponent, it would truly be the end for him. "There is no use in threatening me." On the other hand, Leo didn''t wait for the remnant spirit to finish his words as he interrupted him and offered, "As long as you reunite the Void Dragon King with his family, I will think about letting you free." [What? Sending reuniting the Void Dragon King with his family?] The remnant spirit frowned as he looked at the Void Dragon King who had a shocked look in his eyes after seeing what Leo had done. He had never thought that Leo was so powerful that he wiped all the dragons in a grade 1 dragon world. What''s more, not only did he survive the attack from the remnant spirit of the Dragon God but he also trapped him. ''He is¡­what is he?'' The Void Dragon King looked at Leo who looked back at him with a slight smile, making the Void Dragon King cry unconsciously. [Child, what are you waiting for? You have already recovered from your injuries. Kill that b*stard. Without him, I doubt this Golden Furance will trap me] How could the remnant spirit agree to Leo''s deal so easily? He looked at the Void Dragon King for a moment before ordering the Crimson Fire Dragon to kill both Leo and the Void Dragon King. "Yes, Dragon God." The Crimson Fire Dragon nodded his head and shouted at Leo, "B*stard¡­release the dragon god right now?" [Crimson w] Without wasting Leo''s reply, he swipes his powerful w at Leo with the intent to kill Leo in a single attack. "What''s the hurry? Unlike before, this time, I will y with you for a long time." However, Leo didn''t bother to dodge the iing attack as he revealed an evil smile while looking at the Crimson Fire Dragon. ***** Golden Tickets and Gifts = Bonus Chapters. Chapter 402 [Bonus Chapter] Negotiation Previously, when he activated the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline], Leo only had one minute to take care of the Crimson Dragon; however, now, Leo was not worried too much about the Crimson Dragon. Because, with the help of the [Solo Domain] and the [Supreme Killer], Leo could suppress the battle prowess of the Crimson Dragon by 60 percent. What''s more, his [Nether Rage Booster] waspletely filled thanks to the Godly Attack of the remnant spirit. ''[Nether Rage Booster], activate.'' Looking at the iing Crimson Fire Dragon''s w, Leo didn''t bother to dodge it as he activated the special effect of the [Supreme Nether Domain]. ''Ding, The host''s special talent [Water Maniption] will be boosted to the level 9 supreme rank. Unlike the bloodline, Leo could only select one particr talent to boost his strength and without any hesitation, Leo picked [Water Maniption]. After seeing how much damage the special effect of a peak level 9 supreme grade [Water Maniption] did to the Crimson Fire Dragon, Leo didn''t have to think much in selecting which talent he had to pick. [Water Maniption - Water Shield] With a slight smile, Leo summoned a water shield to block the iing Crimson w of the Crimson Fire Dragon. ''Tiss'' Without any surprise, the water shield easily blocked the Crimson Fire Dragon''s attack, making the Crimson Fire Dragon unconsciously step back. [Water Maniption - Ten Thousand Water Missiles] In the next second, Leo used the special effect of the [Water Maniption]. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Growl'' Soon, ten thousand water missiles appeared above Leo and he slowly controlled them to attack the Crimson Fire Dragon one after another. Whenever a water missilended on the Crimson Fire Dragon, he would growl and roar in pain; however, Leo didn''t care about it because if he didn''t have enough strength, he would have suffered the same in the ws of the Crimson Fire Dragon. Of course, he was not nning to kill the Crimson Dragon as he still had some use for them. Therefore, after releasing one hundred water missiles, Leo cancelled his talent and at the same time, his [Nether Rage Booster] was also deactivated as an empty progress bar appeared in front of Leo before disappearing. "Now, do you still have anything to say to me?" After cancelling his talent, Leo slowly walked towards the Crimson Fire Dragon whose body barely had any dragon scales left and asked whether he had anything to say. Just a minute back, he was furious and ordered Leo to free the remnant spirit of the Dragon God; however, now, he was lying on the ground with barely any scales on his body. Hence, Leo mocked the Crimson Fire Dragon and mounted its body that looked like a small mountain. [Brat...stop it. Please, don''t kill him...Don''t kill him] On the other hand, the remnant spirit thought that Leo was nning him and requested Leo not to kill the Crimson Fire Dragon. "It looks like you have finallye to your senses...Good." Leo revealed a slight smile on his face when he heard the remnant spirit''s words because he was expecting those words. [Yes...yes. Whatever you ask, I will grant you. In return, just let him go] Even though the remnant spirit was so angry and wanted to kill Leo ten thousand times, he controlled it for the sake of the Crimson Fire Dragon. "Why don''t you give all the items you have on you now?" Soon, Leo asked what he wanted from the Crimson Fire Dragon because after seeing how a single drop of the Immortal Dragon Saliva healed the Crimson Fire Dragon in an instant, Leo felt he should have such a heavenly treasure with him. Nevertheless, he didn''t ask for a single item; instead, he asked for all the items that the remnant spirit currently has on him. [All? I have..] The remnant spirit frowned as he understood what Leo was nning to do and was about to say something. However, Leo interrupted his words with a reply, "Don''t tell me you only have that one healing item with you. If that is so, then there is no need for him to remain alive anymore." ''Swoosh'' The huge battle axe appeared in Leo''s hand as he threatened the remnant spirit that he would kill the Crimson Fire Dragon. [Fine...don''t kill him...I will give you] Soon, the remnant spirit took four items out of thin air; however, he didn''t give them to Leo directly as he asked, [What if you kill him after taking these items?] How could the remnant spirit trust Leo after witnessing how Leo killed millions of dragons in this world without any emotion? Therefore, the remnant spirit suggested, [How about we make a Blood Oath? With that, we don''t have to worry about the betrayal of the other party because the moment they betray, they will die] ''...'' Leo remained silent for a moment and thought about it. ''Ding, Once the host takes the Blood Oath with the remnant spirit, he can''t go back on his words. The system suggests the host not to take such Oaths. ''I can''t let them live. If the remnant spirit returns to the main body, it would be a problem for me.'' After seeing the system notification, Leo thought he should forget about the negotiation with the remnant spirit. ''Ding, The host can.... p Suddenly, Leo revealed a bright smile on his face when he learned something new. "Before I make the Blood Oath, I have another request. As long as you can fulfil it, I don''t mind taking Blood Oath or whatever it is that you want me to take." Leo shrugged his hands as he informed his condition for taking the Blood Oath. [Phew...it looks like he knows what is good for him] Hearing Leo''s words, the remnant spirit heaved a sigh of relief and thought that he could save the Crimson Fire Dragon. [What do you want?] With that thought in mind, the remnant spirit asked Leo what his request was. "Why don''t you fulfil your promise to the Void Dragon King? As long as you send him back to his family, I can take the Blood Oath." After staying quiet for a moment, Leo said his condition for taking the Blood Oath. Chapter 403 Becoming The Emperor? When he received the three missions after gathering the information on the Grade 1 Dragon World, Leo was only confident inpleting the [Normal Mission] and the [Bonus Mission]. As for reuniting the Void Dragon King with his family which was a [Special Mission], Leo didn''t even think it was possible. Even though Leo sympathized with the Void Dragon King for not being able to reunite with his family as the Dragon God kept going back on his words, there was nothing Leo could do about it. Also, it doesn''t mean Leo would risk his life to help someone who tried to kill him just because he felt pity for them. ''However, who would have thought that I got an opportunity to negotiate with the remnant spirit of the Dragon God.'' Leo had never expected the remnant spirit of the Dragon God to descend to save his favourite apostle. What more unexpected was that his Godly Prowess was sealed just after a few seconds of his descent. [Huh?] Hearing Leo''s condition, the remnant spirit frowned for a moment and replied, [I can''t do that with my battle prowess sealed. Why don''t we add this condition while we take the Blood Oath?] Since the remnant spirit''s battle prowess was sealed, other than leaving this world, there was nothing he could do in his current state. Of course, thanks to Leo''s golden furnace, the remnant spirit can''t even do that. ''It looks like I have to give up the special mission.'' Leo didn''t have to think much about it as he shook his head in disappointment. From the beginning itself, Leo didn''t have any interest in taking a blood oath with the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. Moreover, after hearing the system''s suggestion to not take the blood oath, Leopletely removed the thought of taking the blood oath. So, when the remnant spirti suggested that they should add that condition while taking the [Blood Oath], Leo instantly gave up on the [Special Mission]. "Then I have no reason to negotiate with you anymore." As soon as he finished his words, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face and in the next second, the four items in the remnant spirit''s hands disappeared. ''Ding, The host retrieved four items from the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. 1) Immortal Dragon Saliva, (Nine drops left). 2) World Seed. 3) Legend-Grade Attack Talisman, (One use left) 4) Legend-Grade Defense Talisman, (Three uses left) ''Huh? Normal World Seed?'' Leo was satisfied with all four items; however, he didn''t have the information about one single item. Even though Leo had a rough idea on what it could be, Leo didn''t know exactly what he could do with it and what its uses are. ''I also received a World Seed by refining the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God. I wonder what I can do with it.'' Obviously, Leo was curious about it because it was his second time receiving it; however, he suppressed his curiosity and decided to check it after taking care of the remnant spirit and the Crimson Fire Dragon. [What? How did you...do that?] On the other hand, the remnant spirit inside the transparent golden furnace was shocked when he realized the four items in his hands had disappeared. [Brat...it is unfair. Didn''t you say you will make the Blood Oath to exchange the life of the Crimson Fire Dragon with these items?] The remnant spirit was furious and shouted at Leo. ''Stomp'' "Haha...look! Who is talking about fairness?" Stomping the Crimson Fire Dragon under his feet, Leoughed at the remnant spirit for using the word ''Unfair''. [...] The remnant spirit felt embarrassed and became furious; however, there was nothing he could do as the golden furnace was not letting him leave. [Damn it...I can''t evenmunicate with my main body with my battle prowess. What should I do now?] Earlier, the remnant spirit had some hope that he could save himself and the Crimson Fire Dragon; however, with the four items from his hands disappearing, there was nothing left for the remnant spirit to do. [As you already know I am just a remnant spirit, if you kill me, the main body will continue to hunt you no matter where you hide...Haha] Suppressing his real emotions, the remnant spirit started threatening Leo using the Main Body of the Dragon God. "If you don''t have anything worth exchanging for his life, then I will kill him." However, Leo was not worried too much about the revenge from the Dragon God because the moment he entered this grade 1 dragon world and killed all the dragons, there was no way the Dragon Go would let him go that easily. ''Moreover, I also learned that the moment they descend onto the worlds, their battle prowess would be sealed and if I am lucky, I might be able to refine if a remnant spirit descends and I can kill the Dragon God to get some generous rewards from the system.'' Thanks to the special effect of the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] and the sealing of the gods'' prowess if they descended gave Leo more confidence and excitement for the future. The more remnant spirits he refines and the more gods he kills, the more powerful he could be by using the various system abilities. [Damn it] Seeing that Leo was so scared regarding his threats, the remnant spirit cursed Leo for having a strong heart and hurriedly said, [Didn''t you say you want to reunite the Void Dragon King with his family? I can fulfil that request] ''Huh?'' Leo frowned and asked, "Didn''t you say you can''t do it with your Godly Prowess sealed?" [Yes. If you want to reunite him with his family, just let me go back. I can open the portal and send him back to his family] "Sigh...it''s time to end this." Leo didn''t bother negotiating with the remnant spirit of the Dragon God anymore because he didn''t have anything that was worth exchanging. ''Die'' ''sh'' [Spirit Swallowing Ability - Refine] Without wasting any more time, Leo killed the Crimson Fire Dragon and at the same time, he started refining the remnant spirit. [No....] The remnant spirit of the Dragon God shouted in pain whereas the Crimson Fire Dragon didn''t have any strength left even to cry in pain. Instead, the Dragon Emperor felt it was a relief that he was finally going to die. ''Ding, The host killed a quasi-Legend ranked being, The Crimson Fire Dragon and received 100000 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, Since it was the host''s first time killing a quasi-legend ranked being, he will be rewarded with a Shard of an Ability Tree. ''Ding, The host started refining a remnant spirit of a Godly being. It will take two weeks to fully refine. ''Ding, Since the host swallowed the remnant spirit of a Godly being, the [Spirit Swallowing Abilty] will enter a cooldown of one year. Soon, Leo''s head was filled with the system notifications, making him nod his head in satisfaction. Suddenly, an ancient and mild voice came from the sky, giving Leo quite a scare for a moment. Chapter 404 World Emperor And World God ''What? Emperor of this Grade 1 Dragon World?'' When he suddenly heard the voice from the sky, Leo was scared a little because he was not expecting it. Nevertheless,pared to the shock he received from the Ancient Voice''s words, his fear was negligible. What''s more shocking was another notification given by the same voice regarding the re-assessment for grade 1. ''System, what''s happening? Do you know anything about it?'' Even though Leo briefly understood what was happening, he wondered whether the system had more information regarding it. ''Ding, The hot has fulfilled the hidden requirements. Unlocking the information regarding the Worlds and World Assessment. ''Ding, On sessfulpletion of the Grade 1 World Assessment, a World gets a grade and certain perks from it. ''Ding, Depending on the contribution during the Grade 1 World Assessment, one of the natives could be the Emperor of the World. Of course, he could pass it to others if he didn''t like; however, no one would do such a useless thing. ''Ding, Once a Grade 1 World gets an Emperor, he will have a chance to select a god that he likes or a god who helped him during the Grade 1 World Assessment. Note: For Grade 1 World Assessments, only low-level or recently ascended gods would send their remnant spirits or avatars to watch and select their apostles during that time. ''Ding, From then, the Emperor and God could work together to make the World stronger for the future. ''Ding, If this so-called Emperor was killed by a native, he would directly be the Emperor and there won''t be any re-assessment; however, if it was an otherworldly being, there would be a re-assessment. ''Ding, If the otherworldly beings fail the assessment, he can''t be the Emperor and the world will be destroyed; however, if he passes the assessment, then he would receive rewards that were more generous than the regr world assessment. . . . The system sent one system notification after another and exined so many things regarding the world assessment, making Leo quite excited. ''This will be a good practice for the World Assessment of my world.'' After learning everything, Leo thought it would be a good exercise for him and asked, ''What about God? Does this world still belong to the Dragon God?'' If it belongs to the Dragon God, Leo felt things would beplicated and hoped that the connection with the Dragon God is severed. ''Ding, The moment the Emperor of the World changes, the God of that World changes. ''Ding, Also, if the host passes the re-assessment of the Grade 1 World Assessment, he could select a god of his own for this world. ''Interesting.'' Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he thought, ''I wonder how difficult the World Assessment will be?'' He was looking forward to the start of the world re-assessment because he was confident in passing it. ''Even if I feel it''s difficult, I will just stall for a few days before leaving this world.'' Since Leo had entered the Dragon World with the help of the World Ticket, as soon as he spent seven days in the Dragon World, he could teleport back if he wanted to go back. That''s what the system had said to him earlier. Hence, Leo was not worried too much about it and wanted to give his all during the World Re-assessment. ''Anyway, during these 24 hours, I will sort all the rewards I gained after entering this grade 1 dragon world.'' There were so many things that Leo had gained from the moment he entered the grade 1 dragon world. Therefore, Leo thought of sorting then and if there were any things that could help him be stronger, it would be even better for him for the uing re-assessment of the world. "Before that, it''s time to devour them." Looking at the huge corpse in front of him, Leo revealed an excited smile as he used his system abilities. [Mysterious Stealing Ability] ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully stealing three drops of the Dragon Essence from the Crimson Fire Dragon''s Corpse. [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy] ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully swallowing a special talent [Dragon Roar]. [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully swallowing the bloodline [Ancient Crimson God''s Bloodline]. In no time, the Crimson Fire Dragon''s corpse turned into dust; however, Leo was satsifed with the return he gained from it. Of course, the system notifications didn''t stop yet as he received another two notifications regarding the hatching time of the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg. ''Ding, The hatching time of the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg has been reduced by 200 days. ''Ding, The remaining hatching time left: 49 days. ''In less than a day, I managed to reduce the hatching time by 950 days. It''s all thanks to the dragons of this world.'' Since it was a [Dragon Egg Incubator], it could decrease the hatching time a lot by killing the dragons instead of other types of beings. So, Leo gave the credits to the dragons of his worlds. The Dragon Emperor and the five Dragon Kings alone decreased the hatching time by around 750 days and the remaining millions of the dragons helped him decrease the hatching time by another 200 days. ''I wonder what type of rewards I will get after refining the remnant spirit of the Dragon God.'' ''Swoosh'' When the huge golden furnace became smaller and entered his body, Leo silently muttered to himself, wondering about the rewards from refining the remnant spirit. "Void Dragon King, what are you going to do now?" Originally, Leo wanted to check all his rewards; however, he saw the Void Dragon King in the distance and asked about his ns. "Sir Leo, if you help me in sending me back to my world, I will be eternally grateful to you. Of course, I know you are not capable of doing that now but in the future, I am confident that you can do it." The Void Dragon King was serious as he replied, "In return, I will follow your everymand and I also want to take revenge against the Dragon God for using me for his needs and throwing me aside after that. Please, let me follow you." Chapter 405 [Bonus Chapter] Supreme Dragon Fruit The Void Dragon King didn''t me Leo for not making a Blood Oath with the remnant spirit of the Dragon God because he knew Leo had no reason to do that. What''s more, he was already grateful that Leo tried to reunite him with his family despite the fact that he brought Leo to the grade 1 Dragon World to kill him. Moreover, in his mind, Leo was powerful and a being worth following after seeing his actions for thest two days. Keeping these things aside, the Void Dragon King hated the Dragon God more because he kept going back on his promises and if not for his family, he would have already swore his loyalty to Leo. Other than reuniting with his family, the Void Dragon God has another goal in his life and it was to take revenge against the Dragon God. ''I hope nothing happens to my family until I find a way to enter the Grade 2 Dragon World.'' Even though the Void Dragon King was hoping nothing would happen to his family, he was not confident because the Grade 2 Dragon World was more dangerous than the Grade 1 Dragon World. With the strength of his family members, it was already hard for them to survive in a Grade 1 Dragon World. It''s been more than three days since he left his family and even though the Dragon God said he was protecting them, the Void Dragon King lost his hope in the Dragon God''s words. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up on his family and wanted to go back to the Grade 2 Dragon World as soon as possible. ''It looks like he was really serious about following me and don''t me me for not taking the Blood Oath.'' With the help of his [Godly Beast Tamer], Leo was able to hear the inner thoughts of the Void Dragon King and replied, "Sure. I will help you." If the Void Dragon King med him for not taking the Blood Oath, Leo would have killed the Void Dragon King without any heistation. Since he was not ming him inside his heart, Leo didn''t mind keeping the Void Dragon King as his follower. ''With his current strength, he would be useful for this world assessment and the world assessment for the human world.'' For Leo, it doesn''t matter whether he had the help of the Void Dragon King or not but he felt it was not a bad thing to have a beast follower in the foreign world. ''I think it is time to loot the dens of the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Kings.'' Even though he had received so many gains after entering the Dragon World, Leo didn''t want to give up on the items treasured by the Dragon Kings and the Dragon Emperors. "Go and search the dens of the Dragon Kings in that direction. I will go in this direction." The Grade 1 Dragon World was big; however, Leo was not worried about it because thanks to his [Space Maniption] talent, Leo could travel the entire world in a few hours. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and after 10 hours, Leo and the Void Dragon King met again at one ce. "Sir Leo, I retrieved the items from the dens of two Dragon Kings." Without wasting any time, the Void Dragon King opened a portal in the mid-air as 25 Fragments of the God Stones came out of it along with two Golden-Coloured Fruits. "Not bad." Leo took them without any hesitation and added them to his collection. ''Ding, 1) Fragments of the God Stones: 120. 2) Supreme Dragon Fruits: 1000. After searching all the dens of the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Kings, Leo found only two types of items; however, Leo felt the Supreme Dragon Fruits are useless. ''Ding, Item Name: Supreme Dragon Fruit. Effect: 1) Any beast or monster or a human who consumed this fruit will instantly be a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. 2) If it was consumed by a Dragon, its strength would increase anywhere from the level 1 to level 9 supreme rank. It is very rare for a mortal-grade dragon to be a level 9 supreme rank. Side Effect: After consuming the Supreme Dragon Fruit, the consumer can''t increase his strength any further. Leo found a lot of these fruits in the Crimson Fire Dragon''s den. At first, he thought he found some natural resources; however, ater seeing the information on these fruits, Leo felt they were the worst fruits to consume. ''So this is how this world has so many Supreme-ranked Dragons.'' Finally, Leo understood the reason behind the crazy number of supreme-ranked Dragons in this grade 1 dragon world. Even though Leo knew the Dragon God had helped them; however, he can''t help them directly to raise the strength of the world. Of course, the Dragon God was the one who used his godly prowess to increase the productivity of thse Supreme Dragon Fruits through his Apostle. ''In short term, it will help; however, in lthe long term, it will make things difficult.'' Leo shook his head; however, he still stored tham as he had a huge space inside his storage ring. ''Anyway, I got another 120 Fragments of the God Stones. Adding the previous Fragments of the God Stones I have with me, I have more than 170. I can use 100 of them to buy a System Ability using the [Store].'' Leo was excited about it; however, he was not in a hurry to use them yet because he wanted to use the special effects of all 100 Fragments of the God Stones before spending them. ''System, reset the cooldown on all my abilities using the special effects of the Fragments of the God Stones.'' Soon, Leo ordered the system to use them; however, it still has more than half of the Fragments of the God Stones with their special effects. So, he didn''t use them and decided to use them after the world assessment. ''Ding, The host''s [Arcane Silver Sword] has been upgraded to a high-level supreme-grade weapon. [Master, I can finally fly on my own] Followed by the system notification, Leo heard a young boy''s voice in his head followed by a silver light that came out of his body. Chapter 406 Sword Dominator, Dragon Essence ''Ding, Weapon Name: Arcane Silver (Flying Sword). Weapon Soul: Fully awakened. (It has basic intelligence and it could make decisions on its own and move on its own.) Grade: High-level Supreme Grade. Effect: 2000 percent increase in the battle prowess of the user while holding the sword. Weapon Skills: Absolute Pration, Artifact Eater, Silver sh, Flying Sword. Special Skill: Weapon Eye, Sword Dominator, Sword Clones. Soul Skill: Ancestor Serpent Manifestation. Without wasting any time, Leo checked the information on the flying sword. ''It has be a Flying Sword now and since its soul is fully awakened, it could not only speak but it could even think on its own.'' Leo was not surprised by these changes because he was already expecting those changes. ''The user''s battle prowess will be increased from 500 percent to 2000 percent and there were two new special skills.'' Nodding his head, Leo checked the information on the two new special skills that the Arcane Sword had gained. ''Ding, Skill Name: Sword Dominator (Passive). Effect: 1) 10 percent damage from the sword attacks will be decreased. 2) 10 percent additional damage will be added when the user strikes the enemies with the sword. ''Ding, Skill Name: Sword Clones. Effect: 1) 10 identical sword clones will appear that could deal 75 percent damage as the original sword. 2) 100 identical sword clones will appear that could deal 50 percent damage as the original sword. ''Not bad. With the help of the [Spatial Triple sh] and the skills of the Arcane Sword, I can deal with the level 6 and even level 7 supreme-ranked beings without the help of any titles.'' The stronger the weapon, the more powerful the hero bes. It was the basic thing that everyone would agree to and Leo was also no exception. ''Now, let''s see how much I have gained after entering the Grade 1 Dragon World.'' Soon, Leo asked the system to show his gains from the moment he entered the Grade 1 Dragon World. ''Ding, 1) Talent Awakening crystals - 27500, gained by devouring millions of supreme-ranked dragons with the help of [Absolute Devour]. 2) Fragments of the God Stones: 120, found inside the dens of the Dragon Emperor and the Five Dragon Kings. 3) Supreme Promote Points: 35 Million. 4) Five Special Talents, from the [Normal Mission]. 5) Dragon Essence, Ancient Crimson God''s Bloodline and Special Talent [Dragon Roar]. ''With 27500 Talent Awakening Crystals and the Supreme Promote Points, I can create a powerful army in a short time. Unlike the Supreme Dragon Fruits, their potential will not be limited.'' Looking at the huge number of Talent Awakening Crystals and the [Supreme Promote Points] he gained, Leo could not help but want to rush back to create a powerful army of his own for the World Assessment of the human world. Adding with the old Talent Awakening Crystals that he gained from the Unknown God, Leo had nearly 30000 Talent Awakening Crystals. ''If I can find 10000 loyal men and give three crystals each and upgrade their talents to the Supreme Grade, passing the Grade 1 World Assessment would be a piece of cake.'' Leo silently thought in his head, ''Also, I wonder what would be the expression of the Unknown God if my world passes the assessment?'' Compared to the Dragon God, Leo hated the Unknown God even more because how he was not exining any rules to the natives of his world and not even giving them time to prepare for the world assessment. Most importantly, he messed with Leo''s rewards and made the rank 1 Grey Dragon the City Leader without asking him. ''That b*stard¡­I need to show him he messed with the wrong person.'' With that thought in mind, Leo checked the other rewards in detail. ''Ding, Talent Name: Dragon Roar. Talent Type: Special/ Rare. Effect: 1) When the host roars, all the dragons on his side will gain a 5 percent increase in their strength whereas the enemy dragons'' battle prowess will be reduced by 5 percent. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Ancient Crimson God''s Bloodline. Effect: Upon activation, the user''s all fire-type attacks will be boosted by 10 times for 10 minutes and the damage from the fire-type attacks will be reduced by 50 percent. ''Ding, Item Name: Dragon Essence. Item Type: Special/ Rare. Use: The pure energy of the dragon emperor that could greatly increase the potential and strength of the normal dragons. Note: Even the special dragons will receive a good boost by consuming it; however, the effects won''t be as good as the benefits received by the normal dragons. He started with the things he gained from the Crimson Fire Dragon, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ''Since I have two special fire-type talents, this bloodline will be useful and the [Dragon Roar] is also not bad as it could already be reduced and increased 5 percent at level 1.'' Leo focused on the [Dragon Essence] and the first thing he thought of after checking its information was the Grey Dragon that he summoned using the super special talent [Dragon Summoner]. ''Now, let''s see the five special talents I gained from the [Normal Mission].'' ''Ding, 1) Astral Beam 2) Tempest des 3) Twilight Cannon 4) Explosive Marsh 5) Storm Storm The five special talents he received from the [Normal Mission] were none other than the talents of the five dragon kings that he killed. Except for the [Astral Beam], Leo was not much interested in the other talents. ''Ding, Talent Name: Astral Beam. Talent Type: Special/ Rare Effect: Upon activation, the souls of everyone within 10 meters radius around the host will be forcefully pushed out of their bodies. Note: 1) Only the weak souls of the opponents will be pushed. 2) Physical Strength and Soul Strength are two different things because if a legend-rank being''s soul strength is weak, the host can easily kill him with a supreme-ranked [Astral Beam]. Cooldown: One hour. ''I think I have to start merging the special talents now.'' Looking at the huge list of special talents in his [Hero''s Interface], Leo thought about merging them. Until now, Leo only focused on merging the normal talents because he was not worried much about them even if he failed the merging. However, it was not the case for the special talents. For the old Leo, Special talents were rare and could not be found easily; however, thanks to his [Absolute Devour] and the [Talent Swallowing Ability] along with exploration of the grade 1 words, he was able to gain some good number of special talents. ''What''s more, among the 30000 Talent Awakening Crystals, I must have some special talents, right?'' When this thought came to Leo''s head, Leo asked the system, ''System, how many special talent awakening crystals do I have among them?'' ''Ding, The host has 3000 special talent awakening crystals. ''3000? Isn''t that a huge number?'' Leo was expecting there would be 500 or so and when he saw there were 3000 of them, he was clearly shocked. ''Ding, Almost 90 percent of the supreme-ranked dragons that the host devoured have special talents. So, the host got so many special talent awakening crystals. ''Excellent.'' Hearing the system''s exnation, Leo nodded his head and thought, ''For now, I have enough special talents. So, there is no need to use them.'' ''Now, let''s see the rewards gained by refining the remnant spirit.'' Putting aside his thoughts, Leo checked another list of items. ''Ding, 1) One unit of God Essence. 2) Grade 1 Abyssal World Ticket. 3) Normal World Seed. Chapter 407 World Seed ''Ding, 1) One unit of God Essence. 2) Grade 1 Abyssal World Ticket. 3) Normal World Seed. ''System, what is the use of this God Essence?'' From the name Leo could tell it was a valuable item; however, Leo didn''t know exactly what it was used for. So, he asked the system without wasting any time. ''Ding, ,m God Essence is the special energy that could be absorbed by the Gods. To know more details about this God Essence, either increase your strength or unlock God Space. ''God Space?'' Leo frowned and was about to ask about it; however, the system answered before he could ask about it. ''Ding, God Space is a region inside the body that would be unlocked when a being ascended to Godhood or collects 100 units of the God Essence. ''What? Only Godly beings can have it?'' Leo was shocked after hearing the system notification; however, when he saw that there was another way to unlock the God Space, he was excited. ''System, don''t tell me I will be a Godly Being if I unlock the God Space by collecting 100 units of the God Essence?'' Leo was quite excited by that thought; however, the system''s reply made hime back to reality. ''Ding, No. Unlocking the God Space doesn''t make the host a God. To be a God, the host has to increase his strength, undergo trials and tribtion and meet some hidden requirements. ''Ding, Even though it won''t be impossible for the host to be God with the help of the System, it won''t be easy. ''Yeah..yeah. If bing a God was so easy, everyone would be one.'' Leo shook his head and remembered his starting conversation with the System. ''Ding, The [Talent Swallowing System] will help the host be the Talent Swallowing God. ''When I heard those words, I didn''t believe the system; however, after travelling to the other worlds and experiencing various things together with the system, I feel I can be a God who could shiver the other God just from my name alone.'' Even though that day was not near, Leo set his goal to be such a powerful entity where he didn''t have to worry about the World Assessments and all. ''Ding, However, by unlocking the God Space, the host gains one of the Godly abilities. ''One of the Godly Abilities?'' Leo raised his brows as he thought, ''Since I need 100 units of the God Essence, I need to refine another 99 remnant spirits. Will it be faster or will I be a God faster? Let''s see.'' Leo felt that he could get one unit of the God Essence by refining one remnant spirit of the Godly Being. ording to that logic, he still needs to refine 99 of them; however, is it that easy to find the remnant spirit? ''It looks like I have to be more high-key and make the Gods frustrated to send their remnant spirits to kill me.'' Even though it looks simple, it was not as easy as one thinks it was because not all gods would be easily angered to the point where they have to descend personally. The reason why the Dragon God''s remnant spirit descended onto the grade 1 Dragon World was to save the Crimson Fire Dragon who was the favourite apostle of the Dragon God. If not for him, Leo doubted the remnant spirit would have descended. ''I think I need toe up with a good n to make the remnant spirits of the Gods descend.'' Leo silently thought to himself as he muttered, ''Anyway, I will think about it afterpleting the re-assessment for this Dragon World and the world assessment for the human world.'' Soon, he stopped thinking about God Essence and the hunting of God''s remnant spirits and checked the other rewards he gained from the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God. ''Another grade 1 world ticket to the Abyssal Demon World. I think I should pay this world a visit with Dominic and others after returning to the human world.'' Beforeing to the Grade 1 Dragon World, Leo promised his friends that he would take them for a grade after returning from the Dragon World. Also, ording to what he learned about the Abyssal Demon World, it was filled with the mindless Abyssal Beasts except for a few powerful beasts who rule over them. Therefore, Leo concluded that the Grade 1 Abyssal Demon World was a good ce for his friends to level up and hone their battle prowess. ''Now, what is this world seed? Will I be able to nurture a world with it?'' Soon, Leo focused on thest item from the list and guessed the uses of that World Seed. ''Ding, Item Name: World Seed. Item Grade: Normal/ Rare/ Mysterious. Use: The seed that could create a small world inside the user''s body and after growing big enough, the user can materialize it out of his body and be the God of that world. Note: Once the world is materialized outside, it has to follow the same grading process as the other worlds during which the user might lose his world to other Gods. ''I can really nurture a world of my own.'' Leo was surprised when he saw the information on the World Seed and without any hesitation, he asked the system, ''How can I nurture it?'' Even though he had to nurture the small seed into a huge world that was capable of materializing outside his body, Leo was quite excited about it. Because if he had a world of his own, Leo could do many things. ''Ding, The host just needs to swallow the world seed and the seed will create its own space inside the host''s body where it would slowly grow while the host provides enough resources for it to grow. ''Swallow it?'' Leo was already used to swallowing after swallowing the talent awakening crystals, upgrade crystals and all. After hearing the system notification, Leo swallowed the world seed and muttered, ''Nurturing a world is just like nurturing the tree.'' Chapter 408 [Bonus Chapter] Hidden Requirement ''Ding, A world seed has been settled inside the host''s body. Please nurture it carefully and turn it into a powerful world. Leo didn''t feel any pain or whatsoever as he received the system notification asking him to nurture the seed. ''It is settled inside my Starlight Dantian.'' Leo nodded his head at the system notification and tried to sense the location of the World Seed and he was surprised that it settled iside the Dantian. ''Even though the system was asking me to nurture the world seed, it still didn''t say how I should nurture it.'' If it was a nt, Leo could provide special water and speical resources that could enchance the growth of a nt; however, to nurture a world seed into a world, it won''t be as simple as growing the nt, right? At least that''s what Leo thought inside his head; however, when he saw that the World Seed was settled inside the Starlight Dantian, Leo thought of something even before the system replied to him. ''Don''t tell me I can use the Starlight Energy inside my Dantian to nurture the World Seed into a world?'' ''Ding, The host guessed right! The World Seed can be nurtured using the Starlight Energy. The host just needs to think about supplying the Starlight Energy to the World Seed and it will absorb the energy. ''Excellent. Let''s see how it works.'' Since Leo still needed to make some preparations for the re-assessment of the Grade 1 World Assessment for the Dragon World, Leo wanted to settle all his things as soon as possible before thinking about it. Hence, he didn''t waste any time and just thought, ''Absorb theplete starlight energy from my dantian.'' Leo didn''t hesitate to spend the entire 70000 units of the Starlight Energy in his Starlight Dantian on the World Seed. After he became a supreme-ranked star cultivator, Leo''s Starlight Dantian''s capacity increased to one million units. Also, after absorbing Morgan''s supreme-ranked dragon cultivation, not only did his starlight cultivation upgraded to level 1 supreme-ranked cultivation but his [Special Starlight Refining Technique] also upgraded from Bronze Grade to Silver Grade. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique. Grade: Silver. Effect: 1) the host''s body will passively absorb 100 units of Starlight Energy per hour. 2) When actively using the cultivation technique, 1000 units of Starlight Energy can be absorbed per hour. Note: Depending on the purity of the Starlight Energy in the world, the units absorbed by the host whether it was passively or actively will change. Dragon World''s boost: 10 times the normal effect. Since Leo was in the Dragon World, his body would passively absorb 1000 units of the Starlight Energy per hour and it''s been barely two days since he entered the Dragon World. Adding to the one day he spent in the human world before entering the Dragon World, Leo was able to umte around 70000 units of the Starlight Energy. ''Swoosh'' As he thought about the [Special Starlight Refining Technique], the World Seed inside his Starlight Dantian started devouring the Starlight Energy at an incredible speed like a ckhole. ''Ding, The World Seed has absorbed 70000 units of the Starlight Energy. Soon, Leo received the system notification regarding the World Seed''s crazy absorption; however, he was more focused on the World Seed to see the changes after the absorption. ''Huh? Is there something wrong with my senses or are there really no changes in the world seed even after absorbing the 70000 units of the Starlight Energy?'' Leo frowned when he saw there were no changes on the World Seed. ''Ding, Sorry to say this but do you really expect the World Seed to turn into a World just after providing 70000 units of the Starlight Energy? ''Ding, Nurturing a World Seed into a World is really easy; however, it requires so much energy. So, it is better to increase your strength not only in the [Hero''s Path] but also in the [Cultivator''s Path]. Sensing Leo''s frown, the system sent two system notifications, making Leo bitterly smile before nodding his head. ''I was not expecting the World Seed to turn into a World overnight but after proving 70000 units of the Starlight Energy, I was hoping there was at least a single change in the World Seed.'' It wasmon sense that nurturing a world requires a huge amount of energy and even Leo knew it; however, he was hoping to see some minute changes on it. ''It looks like it requires much more energy than I initially assumed.'' Nevertheless, after some time, Leo came to the conclusion that he needs a crazy amount of Starlight Energy. ''Whenever I get some time, I should focus on absorbing more starlight energy and provide it to the World Seed until I see some changes in it¡­..'' Suddenly, Leo thought of something else, ''Compared to that, I think it is better to increase my cultivation to the Legend rank or try to upgrade the [Special Starlight Refining Technique] to the Gold grade.'' ''And the fastest way to do that is by killing the powerful cultivators and swallowing their cultivation. I hope I can enter a grade 1 cultivator world with the world tickets I have with me.'' With that thought in mind, Leo stopped his thoughts about the World Seed and its nurturing. ''Since I have 35 million [Supreme Promote Points], the fastest way to be stronger was by upgrading the talents using the [Talent Promoter].'' Even though Leo was able to wipe out all the dragons inside the Grade 1 Dragon World, he was able to do it because of his wide range of talents and most importantly, it was because of the title [Dragon yer]. Moreover, Leo knew what type of opponents he would be fighting during the re-assessment. Since he would be rewarded generously for passing the re-assessment, Leo felt spending the [Supreme Promote Points] was not a bad thing. ''Or should I merge the Normal and Special Talents?'' At the same time, Leo thought of another thing he could do. ''Let''s go with merging the talents.'' After thinking for a moment, Leo felt merging the talents was better than upgrading them as he could save a lot of [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The system has detected that the host has a lot of skills and talents. Do you want to use the system Auto-Merge? ''Ding, Of course, the host can sort what type of talents and skills he wanted to merge or he could leave it to the system. ''Huh? Auto-Merge? Is it a new function after the system upgrade?'' Leo didn''t think much about it as he focused on giving instructions to the system in merging the talents and skills. ''ssify the talents and skills based on Attack, Defense, Support. Upgrade all level 1 normal talents and skills at once. Merge them again and again until they be special talents.'' Previously, Leo was nning to bless them to his followers; however, he has 30000 talent awakening crystals. So, he was not bothered about it and merged them all in a single go. Anyway, he could also give away the special talents which were much better than the normal talents to his family and friends. ''Ding, The talent merging was sessful. ''Ding, The talent¡­ . . . ''Ding, The total number of special talents and skillsbined has reached 100. ''Ding, The host haspleted the hidden requirement to unlock a new System Feature. Do you want to unlock it? Chapter 409 [Ball Of Divine Healing] ''Ding, . . . ''Ding, The total number of special talents and skillsbined has crossed 100. ''Ding, The host haspleted the hidden requirement to unlock a new System Feature. Do you want to unlock it? ''What? 100 special talents?'' Even though Leo has a lot of talents and skills, he didn''t expect that merging those talents and skills would result in so many special talents and skills. ''If it was a dozen or so, I would not have been surprised; however, 100 special talents and skills just from merging the normal talents was a little too much.'' Nevertheless, Leo was happy to gain so many special talents and thest system notification made him even more excited. Whether it was a system ability or a system feature, it helped Leo a lot in bing stronger. So, unlocking a new system feature without having any expectations was even more exciting for Leo and without wasting any time, Leo checked the information on his new system feature. ''Ding, System Feature: Talent Exchanging Tab. Use: The host can exchange 100 talents of the same grade to get a new talent with one grade higher. Note: There is a small chance of probability that the host might get a new talent with two grades higher. ''Huh? I have to give up on 100 talents to get one higher grade talent?'' Leo raised his brows and thought, ''Is it worth exchanging 100 special talents for a super special talent?'' Even though Super Special Talents were heaven-defying, Leo felt exchanging 100 special talents for one super special talent was not worth it. It was because he had merged one special talent and four normal talents together and received a super special talent [Godly Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, The reason for the host getting the [Godly Beast Tamer] from merging the same type of talents was due to beginner''s luck. ''Ding, The chances of getting a super special talent from merging the talents were very less and it might be impossible to get even if the host merges 10 same types of special talents. ''...'' Hearing the system''s reply, Leo could not help but be speechless and after thinking for a moment, he decided, ''Even though having more special talents was not a bad thing, getting the Super Special Talents was hard.'' Previously, Leo thought getting the Super Special Talents was easy and all he had to do was collect simr type of talents. However, after hearing the system''s exnation regarding his beginner''s luck for merging more than two same talents at once. Therefore, he decided to use the system feature and test what type of Super Special Talent he would get by giving up the newly merged special talents. ''Ding, The host used the [Talent Exchanging Tab] to exchange 100 level 1 special talents for a Super Special Talent. ''Ding, Please wait for a while until the system analyses the 100 special talents before giving the Super Special Talent. ''I will wait.'' Since there were still 12 hours left for the world re-assessment to start, Leo didn''t mind waiting for a while as he continued thinking about the pros and cons of his new system feature. ''Even though the system said that getting a Super Special Talent from merging was hard, it seems it was not the case for the Special Talent.'' Before Leo used the Auto Merge feature of the [Talent Merging Ability], he had more than 500 normal talents and skills. However, by merging these 1000 normal talents, Leo was able to get more than 100 special talents and skills which means for every five sessful mergers, he got one special talent. Therefore, he decided not to use this new system feature to get special talents. ''Moreover, getting Special Talents is no longer difficult for me.'' Currently, Leo has so many grade 1 world tickets and as long as he pays these worlds a visit, he could easily get enough special talents for himself, his family and his followers. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by as Leo finally got the system notification. ''Ding, The host has awakened a new super special talent [Ball of Divine Healing]. ''Ding, Talent Name: Ball of Divine Healing (Mortal). Talent Type: Super Special / Rare. Effect: Upon activation, all targets in a radius of 10 meters around the user will recover from all types of injuries (Except for regeneration) and all the negative effects below the Supreme Rank will be cancelled. Special Effect: Self-Revival (Locked). Note: It will be unlocked when the talent is upgraded to the Supreme Grade. Leo directly checked the information on his new Super Special Talent and when he saw the effect, Leo felt it was just a little better than his talent [Elemental Healing]. However, when he saw the Special Effect of the talent, Leo''s heart raced with excitement. ''Self-Revival? With that, even if I die, I can be revived, right?'' Leo didn''t need any exnation for the Special Effect because he could guess what it meant. ''There might be some additional conditions for reviving; however, still, I can use it as a trump card; however, the problem is, that special effect was still locked.'' Despite the special effect of the talent [Ball of the Divine Healing], Leo''s excitement didn''t disappear because he knew as long as he worked hard, he could upgrade the talent to the Supreme Grade. ''But still, if I can find a way to upgrade the Super Special Talents, it would save me a lot of time.'' Leo''s eyes fell on the super special talent [Talent Promoter], however, he shook his head because his only hope to upgrade the Super Special Talents is rted to the [Talent Promoter]. ''Ding, There are ways to unlock more effects for the [Talent Promoter] or any other super special talents. ''Ding, 1) Find a Super Special Evolution Crystal; however, it was almost impossible to find in grade 1 and grade 2 worlds. 2) Awaken a simr type of talent and merge them with a [Super Special Talent] for which you want to gain additional effects. Chapter 410 Merging Talents To Unlock New Effects The system''s duty was to help the host as much as possible and therefore when Leo was thinking about ways to upgrade the [Super Special Talents], it exined to him some ways. Of course, the system has its own restrictions and it would only answer those questions that Leo has permission to learn. ''Huh? So, there is a Super Special Evolution Crystal.'' Leo had already used the Normal Evolution Crystal and the Special Evolution Crystal. Hence, he was not surprised there were even Super Special Evolution Crystal. ''However, I think I can try the second method because talents are thest things Ick now.'' Leo revealed a slight smile and decided to give it a try. ''Ding, Even though the second method is easy for the host; however, it is not as easy as the host thinks it is. ''Ding, Just merging the talents with the Super Special Talents doesn''t unlock new effects; however, the host can increase the chances by using the Special / Rare talents. ''Ding, Even by using the Special / Rare talents, it only increases a small percentage. So, the system warns the host not to keep high hopes on the second method. Sensing that Leo was nning to try the second method to unlock more effects to the existing [Super Special Talents], the system hurriedly sent a few more system notifications. ''I know.'' Leo knew it was not easy to unlock new effects for the [Super Special Talents]. Nevertheless, he wanted to give it a try and see whether it would work or not. ''Ding, Super Special Talents. 1) Talent Promoter. 2) Absolute Devour. 3) Undead Summoner. 4) Godly Beast Tamer. 5) Dragon Summoner. 6) Ball of the Divine Healing. First, Leo checked all the super special talents and selected [Ball of Divine Healing] because he didn''t have simr special talents or normal talents for the other super special talents. ''Merge all normal level 1 healing-type talents.'' Leo was not worried about failing the merger between the talents because after the system upgrade, his [Talent Merging Ability] has also upgraded. Even if the merger between the talents failed, only the secondary talent or skill would be destroyed and the primary talent would not be affected even a tiny bit. ''Ding, Primary Talent: Ball of the Divine Healing. Secondary Talent: Nature Healing. ''Ding, The merger between the Primary and Second Talents is sessful; however, no new effect is unlocked in the Primary Talent. ''Ding, The Potential of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] has increased by 10 percent. ''What?'' Even though there were no new effects in the [Ball of the Divine Healing], Leo was surprised when he saw thest system notification. ''I can increase the potential of the [Super Special Talents] by this method?'' Leo suppressed his excitement and silently thought about it, ''Also, a 10 percent increase in the potential is too much. All I have to do is merge the [Ball of the Divine Healing] with nine more talents sessfully.'' Once this thought came to his mind, Leo didn''t waste any time, as he started going all out in using all the healing talents he had gained so far except for the [Five Elemental Healing] which was already upgraded to the Supreme Grade. ''Ding, Primary Talent: Ball of the Divine Healing. Secondary Talent: Star Light. ''Ding, The merger between the two talents failed. The secondary Talent will be destroyed. ''Ding, The Potential of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] has increased by 1 percent. ''Huh? Even failure increases the potential by 1 percent.'' Even though Leo''s second attempt ended up as a failure, he was not disappointed. Moreover, when he saw that the potential was still increasing despite failing the merger, he became excited. ''Ding, Primary Talent: Ball of the Divine Healing. Secondary Talent: Doctor Nobody. ''Ding, The merger between the two talents failed. The secondary Talent will be destroyed. ''Ding, The Potential of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] has increased by 1 percent. . . . ''Ding, Primary Talent: Ball of the Divine Healing. Secondary Talent: Moon Healing. ''Ding, The merger between the Primary and Second Talents is sessful; however, no new effect is unlocked in the Primary Talent. ''Ding, The Potential of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] has increased by 5 percent. In just a few minutes, Leo had used around 20 talents and among which, half of them were special healing talents. ''Except for the first time, the remaining sessful merges only gave a 5 percent rise in the potential.'' Leo''s focus was on the potential increase in talent as he silently made mental note of it. Even though no new effects were unlocked, Leo was satisfied with the nearly 50 percent rise in the Potential of the [Ball of the Divine Healing]. ''I have hundreds of talents, but I have only 20+ healing talents.'' Looking at the list of healing talents in front of him, Leo could not help but shake his head in disappointment. ''Ding, Healing Talents. 1) Ball of the Divine Healing (Mortal). 2) Five Elemental Healing (Supreme). Of course, he still has the Elemental Healing which became [Five Elemental Healing] upgrade merging multiple times with other talents. Even though Leo could use the [Five Elemental Healing] talent which was a supreme grade to merge with the [Ball of the Divine Healing], he showed no interest in doing so. ''I can tell it will be a sessful merger and the potential increase would be more; however, there is a small chance that the merge might fail and I might lose the [Five Elemental Healing].'' He had spent so many [Supreme Promote Points] on the [Five Elemental Healing] and he didn''t want to take such risks until the [Ball of the Divine Healing] became the Supreme Rank. ''Should I use some healing-type Talent Awakening Stones from the 30000 stones in the storage ring?'' Leo thought of it; however, after some thinking, Leo rejected that thought and decided to focus on unlocking new effects for the Super Special Talents after the re-assessment. ¡­. After 12 hours, Finally, after making a few more preparations during the 12 hours, Leo finally heard the Ancient Voice, making him reveal an excited smile. ''It''s time to experience the World Assessment.'' Chapter 411 Re: World Assessment - Round One ''The round one is to survive for three days? Since it is only round 1, it will be easy, right?'' It was Leo''s first time and he wanted to use this re-assessment as a practice for the uing world assessment for the human world. Leo stretched his body a little and he didn''t have tiredness or whatever from killing all the dragons in the Grade 1 Dragon World thanks to the Starlight Cultivation. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as the announcement from the Ancient Voice was finished, huge portals started appearing everywhere around Leo. ''Roar'' ''Growl'' From these portals, beasts and monsters of all sizes starteding out towards him and the Void Dragon King as though they were attracted to Leo and the dragon. "Void, you heard the voice, right? However, let''s not just survive but I will kill all these monsters and beasts." Even though Leo heard about the opening of so many portals in the past, it was his first time seeing it in person. Nevertheless, Leo was not afraid of it as he has already gotten used to difficult situations from the beginning. Right now, Leo is not in a difficult situation yet. So, there was no need for him to worry about it. "Sir Leo, there is no need for you to take any action for round 1, I will take care of it." Since the Void Dragon King had already sworn his loyalty to Leo, he wanted to prove his loyalty by actions. So, he said, he would take care of it. "There is no need for you to take any action. I will take care of it." How could Leo let the Void Dragon King all the monsters and beasts and lose all the [Supreme Promote Points]? Therefore, Leo asked the Void Dragon King to rest because he won''t get any [Supreme Promote Points] for the targets his followers kill. ''Huh?'' The Void Dragon King didn''t understand why his master wanted to take care of low-level beasts and monsters. Nevertheless, he decided to follow his words. [Undead Summoner - Raise my Sentient Dragons] Of course, Leo was not going to participate himself to kill the level 1 supreme-ranked and below-ranked beings; instead, he decided to summon his Sentient Undead Dragons. ''Not only can they raise their strength but it might also increase the potential of my [Undead Summoner] talent.'' After learning there were hidden ways to increase the potential of the [Super Special Talents], Leo decided to use his [Super Special Talents] more often to find a unique method to raise the grade of the [Super Special Talent]. ''Roar'' Soon, Sentient Dragons rose from the ground while letting out excited roars. ''Ding, Since the host''s undead dragons were dead in the previous summoning, their strength will decrease by one level. ''Ding, The penalties for the second revival would increase. So, the host should not let his undead dragons die so easily. Along with the roars of his Undead Dragons, Leo received the two system notifications. ''So, that''s why their strength was a level lower.'' Nevertheless, Leo didn''t mind the first penalty and decided to keep in mind that the penalties would increase as the number of times his undead dragons died. "Goldy, activate the barrier around us. As for the remaining dragons, take care of them." Leo sat on a huge boulder as he ordered his undead dragons to take care of the monsters pouring out of the portal. ''Roar'' The undead dragons roared in reply as they started their massacre. [Golden Barrier] The Undead Golden Armoured Gaint Dragon activated a barrier around Leo and the Void Dragon King beforeying down on the ground. Since all monsters that poured out of the portal were level 1 supreme or below-ranked monsters, the Golden Dragon didn''t participate in the fight. However, it was not the case for the other dragons as they only used their basic attacks to take care of thousands of monsters that keep oning at them. [Ghost ws] The Undead Ghost Dragon floated in the air with its sharp extended ws. Wherever it went, it would leave behind a pile of bodies. [me Thrower] The Undead ck Fire Dragon didn''t bother to move as it spits fire that could reach 100 meters. [Poison Needles] As for the Two-headed Undead Poison Dragon release hundreds of sharp needles to put the iing monsters to death, [Azure des] Just like the Undead Poison Dragon and the Undead ck Fire Dragon, the Undead Azure Dragon also settled in a single ce and took care of all the monsters that were rushing in its direction. ''Ding, The host received 20000 [Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host received 100 [Supreme Promote Points]. ''Ding, The host received 200 [Supreme Promote Points]. . . On the other hand, Leo kept receiving the system notifications; however, he didn''t bother to keep track of them. He hoped that it would break through 100 million [Supreme Promote Points] by the time he see them. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by, Leo''s four undead dragons have already killed more than a million monsters that poured out of the portal in this one hour as Leo umted some [Supreme Promote Points] and a huge amount of [Promote Points]. p The strongest monster in thest one hour was level 1 supreme-ranked monsters whereas the weakest one only had the strength of level 1 mortal grade. ''It''s been only one hour and the portals stopped releasing monsters that were below supreme-rank and only level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked monsters wereing out.'' Even though Leo was sitting on the boulder quietly, he was observing all the portals that were close to him. Since he was using the current assessment for his practice, Leo wanted to gain as much understanding as possible regarding the world assessment like, ''How many portals will open?'' ''What is the strength of the starting monsters?'' ''How the strength of the monsters will be increased?'' There were many questions in Leo''s head to which he was trying to find answers slowly by observing the portals and the monstersing out of the portal. [Dragon God rushed to watch the re-assessment after he lost his connection with the remnant spirit]. [War God and nine more Gods were close by and decided to take a peek at the ongoing re-assessment]. ''Herees my ''Gods''.'' Leo was a little surprised to hear the sudden system notifications; however, in the next second, he revealed a slight smile. Chapter 412 Sword With Intelligence [Dragon God is furiously watching the user] [The other Gods were showing interest in you after learning that you have wiped out all the dragons in the Grade 1 Dragon World] [Most of them were thinking of making you a temporary apostle as long as survive the first round in the World Assessment] [They were even nning to offer you some great rewards to turn you into their permanent apostle as long as you sessfully pass the Re: World Assessment] The system feature [Thoughts of the Gods] sent one system notification after another, informing Leo about the inner thoughts of the Gods who came to watch his performance in the Re: World Assessment. ''Sure¡­sure¡­let''s see how much they were willing to give me for their own death.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he went back to keep his focus on the strength of the monsters that wereing out of the portals. The thing is, even though the system didn''t say about its origins, Leo knew he would be hunted by the other gods if they knew about the System''s origins. Therefore, Leo had already decided to not show any mercy on the Gods either. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and another hour passed by in a sh as the strength of the monstersing out of the portals increased for the second time. Instead of level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked monsters, right now, it was time for the level 3 and level 4 supreme-ranked monsters. ''Is it because of the Re: World Assessment that level 3 and 4 supreme-ranked monsters were pouring out of the portals?'' Leo frowned when he saw those monsters because he didn''t expect the level 3 and 4 supreme-ranked monsters toe out of the portals already in just two hours after the world assessment started. If such powerful monsters were poured into his gradeless human world, it would be impossible for the world to pass its grade 1 world assessment without his help. [It is my first time seeing a Re: World Assessment. I wonder, whether there is anyone who passed the Re: World Assessment] [You must be the newly ascended. There were many who sessfully passed the Re: World Assessment] [Even though, it was 10 times more difficult than the Re: World Assessment, you should not forget why the Re: World Assessment was taking ce in the first ce] [Right! Since an otherworldly being was capable of killing the Emperor of the World, the world assessment should be as difficult as killing the Emperor] A few Gods helped in clearing the doubts regarding the Re: World Assessment. ''So, there is still some fairness left in these worlds.'' Not only the recently ascended gods but their conversation helped Leo understand why such powerful monsters wereing out of the portals already. Even though Leo could easily kill the level 3 and 4 supreme-ranked monsters, for a gradeless world, it would be very difficult to face such powerful monsters in the beginning of the world assessment. ''It looks like I have to join the battle now.'' Originally, Leo thought his Undead Dragon would take care of at least one day in the three-day survival of round 1. Nevertheless, he didn''t mind joining the fight as he muttered, ''If only I can get the [Supreme Promote Points] from the monsters killed by my followers, it would have been much better.'' Leo didn''t mind fighting the level 3 and 4 supreme-ranked monsters himself; however, from what he noticed so far, there would be more and more powerful monsters that woulde out of the portals. At this rate, it won''t take much time for his two followers, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant and the Void Dragon King to join the fight. So, he thought about it and summoned his sword. ''Arcane Silver, it''s time for you to shine.'' Once Leo remembered about the high-level supreme grade sword, Leo wanted to test its battle prowess and ordered, "Take care of all the level 3 and 4 supreme ranked monsters." "Yes, Master." The Arcane Sword replied to Leo before joining the Undead Dragons in killing the level 3 and 4 supreme-ranked monsters. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''sh'' Since Arcane Sword is a high-level Supreme-Grade weapon, regr level 1 to 3 supreme-ranked monsters won''t stand a chance in front of it. Even without a sword holder, it would be a piece of cake for the Arcane Sword to kill level 1 to 3 supreme-ranked monsters. Moreover, after awakening its weapon soul, the Arcane Silver became quite intelligent and used Leo''s tactics of bleeding the powerful enemies before killing them. ''Without a sword user, my Arcane Silver could kill level 3 and even level 4 supreme-ranked monsters. Can I kill level 7 and 8 supreme-ranked monsters by wielding it without using any additional trump cards?'' Leo became excited with that thought; however, he knew there was still some time before powerful monsters like level 7 and 8 supreme-ranked monsters came out of the portal. [Huh? He has a high-level supreme-grade flying sword with him?] [What''s more, it has fully awakened his weapon soul and has the basic intelligence] [No wonder, he was able to kill the Dragon Emperor] [Dragon God must be very furious after losing his apostle and a grade 1 world] [I heard the Dragon Emperor of this world was his descendent and his favourite permanent apostle] A few gods who had an idea about this grade 1 Dragon World started talking about the Dragon God. The main reason for half of the gods to rush towards this Re: World Assessment was because they knew it belonged to the Dragon God and wanted to take pleasure in his misery. Whether it was a Human or God, when ites to power, everyone''s the same. With more worlds under one''s control, the more powerful they could be. Since the Dragon God has lost one Grade 1 World, he would lose a small portion of his power. Of course, it was close to negligible; however, for other gods, it was enough to celebrate. ''Roar'' In the dragon world, Leo''s Arcane Sword and the undead dragons were taking care of all the monsters; however, suddenly, the eyes of all the monsters turned bloodshot. Moreover, the strength of the monsters pouring out of the portals also suddenly increased to level 7, making Leo frown. ''It is just round 1 and the difficulty has escted to such a high level.'' Leo was shocked when he saw the sudden increase in the strength of the monsters. His Undead Dragons were only level 1 and 2 supreme rank. There is no way for them to take care of level 7 supreme-ranked monsters. Therefore, Leo decided to join the fight. ''Sutin, Void, let''s go.'' Leo didn''t want to use his titles or special trump cards in round 1 of the Re: World Assessment itself. Therefore, he decided to let his two followers fight along with him. "Yes, master." The Void Dragon King and the Terra Minotaur Tyrant became excited and started the fight. ''Ding, The host''s followers killed a dozen level 7 supreme-ranked monsters. No [Supreme Promote Points] are gained. ''Ding, To get the [Supreme Promote Points], the host can turn into his official tamed beasts. ''Huh? Official tamed beasts?'' Leo didn''t expect the sudden system notifications and raised his brows with a surprised look on his face. Chapter 413 [Bonus Chapter] Weapons Mastery ''I can turn them into my official tamed beast?'' Leo was surprised for a moment and thought about it for a moment as he received another system notification. ''Ding, The host can have three offical tamed beasts for the Mortal Grade [Godly Beast Tamer]. ''So, it is about the [Godly Beast Tamer].'' Leo finally understood and looked at the Minotaur and Dragon who were killing the level 7 supreme-ranked monsters as though they were nothing. ''Damn it¡­each level 7 supreme-ranked monster gives me 50 [Supreme Promote Points] and they already killed more than 10 each in a few seconds.'' Seeing that he was losing so many [Supreme Promote Points], Leo didn''t hesitate to turn the Minotaur and the Dragon into his official tamed beasts. Actually, Leo''s heart was already bleeding when he ordered them to participate in the fight; however, he didn''t want to use his trump cards already. Therefore, he could only order Sutin and Void to fight along with him. Nevertheless, when he heard that he could get all the [Supreme Promote Points] from their kills, there was no hesitation in Leo''s heart as he directly turned them into his official tamed beasts. ''Ding, The Terra Minatour Tyrant and the Void Dragon King are added to the [Offical Tamed Beasts] under the [Godly Beast Tamer]. ''Ding, Upgrade the talent to the [Supreme Grade] to get more Offical Tamed Beasts'' Slots and more benefits from your Offical Tamed Beasts. ''Sure. Why don''t you tell me how to upgrade it?'' Leo jokingly replied to the system before focusing on his massacre. [Supreme Nether Domain - Herculean Domain] [Absolute Devour] After killing for a few minutes, Leo stopped focusing on killing the monsters; instead, he activated the [Supreme Nether Domain] to decrease the strength of all the iing monsters. At the same time, Leo had another reason for activating that talent and it was to boost his [Nether Rage Booster]. ''But by the time this round esctes to the next level of danger, I will be having my booster ready.'' Since there were thousands of level 7 supreme-ranked monsters, Leo knew that he could easily fill his booster within an hour. Also, ording to his guess, it would take three-four hours before the danger escted to the next level where the cooldown for the [Herculean Domain] would bepleted by more than 50 percent. Therefore, he started using his [Absolute Devour] to devour the corpses on the ground while intentionally injuring the monsters while keeping track of the [Nether Rage Booster]. [Huh? Why did round 1 be so intense all of sudden?] [Level 7 supreme-ranked monsters were already pouring out of the portals. Isn''t it a little too fast?] [I feel the same] The Gods who were watching the Re: World Assessment raised their brows and discussed the reason behind why the high-level monsters were alreadying out of the portals. ¡­. Time continued to passed and five hours passed by in a sh, ''Is round 1 of the world assessmenting to an end already?'' When the number of monstersing out of the portals decreased, Leo thought round one of the assessments might being to an end. Even though the Ancient Voice said that he had to survive for three days, Leo could not help bute to that assumption when he saw there were only ten thousand level 7 supreme-ranked monsters left on the ground. Moreover, the number of monstersing out of the portals was so low that only one monster came out for every one or two minutes. ''Whether it ends or not, I don''t care because the more monsterse out of the portal, the more [Supreme Promote Points] I can get.'' Leo chuckedly to himself as he shed his Arcane Sword and killed eight level 7 supreme-ranked monsters in a single sh thanks to his new special talent [Weapons Mastery]. [Weapons Mastery] is a speical talents that were the end result of [Battle Axe Mastery] merging with other weapon-type talents. Since [Battle Axe Mastery] was the primary talent, his [Weapons Mastery] talent is currently at level 7 supreme-rank. ''Thanks to the [Weapons Mastery] and the passive effects of the Arcane Sword along with his high grade, it is really easy for me to kill the Level 7 supreme ranked monsters.'' Leo used his left hand to devour the corpses of the monsters he just killed and muttered, ''If I use the weapon skills and other talents, I can easily kill level 9 supreme rank monsters.'' Earlier, Leo was able to kill the Dragon Emperor and high-level dragons by using various trump cards; however, right now, Leo only needs to use one or two to take care of level 9 supreme-ranked monsters. ''ording to Gods, the Re: World Assessment is 10 times more difficult than the regr world assessment. Hence, I don''t have to worry about the grade 1 world assessment for the human world anymore.'' Until now, Leo was worried that the Unknown God that was incharge of assessing his gradeless world; however, with the boost in his strength that he got aftering to the dragon world, Leo''s worries disappeared without a trace. ''Even if that b*stard increases the difficulty of the grade 1 world assessment by 10 times, I can easilyplete it because in a grade 1 world assessment, a legend grade monster won''te out of the portal.'' Sending a Legend grade monster to a gradeless world for its first world assessment was akin to destroying the world. Moreover, from the conversation of the gods, Leo got the confirmation that there won''t be any legend-grade beings but the possibility of peak-level special supreme-ranked monsters mighte out of the portal that was nearly as powerful as the level 1 legend-grade monster. ''Anyway, let''s clear all these monsters and see whether I canplete round 1 ahead of time or not?'' With that thought in mind, Leo ordered his offical tamed beasts. "Sutin, Void, let''s increase our killing speed." "Yes, Master." Soon, Leo, Sutin and the Void Dragon King started using a little more powerful skills and talents to take care of all the level 7 supreme-ranked monsters. ''Hiss'' Just as they killed nearly all the level 7 supreme-ranked monsters, a hissing sound came from one of the portals as a huge snake rushed out of the portal. [Huh? A level 9 supreme-ranked monster?] [When did a round 1 of the grade 1 world assessment have a level 9 supreme-ranked monster?] [What''s more! It''s only been 10 hours since the world assessment started] All the gods were a litle surprsied when they saw the sudden appearance of a level 9 supreme-ranked monster. ''Roar'' That was not the end! Roars came from all the portals as dozens of level 8 supreme-ranked monsters rushed out of each portal. There were exactly 100 portals and since more than a dozen level 8 supreme-ranked monsters came oout of each portal, there were nearly 2000 level 8 supreme-ranked monsters that were standing behind the level 9 supreme ranked serpent. ''So, the round one of the world assessment is yet to end.'' Leo learned that his assumption was wrong as he looked at the serpent in front of him. ''I think it is finally time for me to test my battle prowess.'' Looking at the serpent, Leo decided to kill the serpent without using his trump cards. ''Hiss'' "Let''s begin the fight." Soon, both Leo and the serpent lunged at each other with eyes full of battle intent. ***** Support the Book with Gifts, Golden Tickets and Power Stones. Chapter 414 Blood Serpent King ''Void, Sutin, take care of the level 8 supreme-ranked monsters, I will take care of the level 9 supreme-ranked monsters.'' After killing the Crimson Fire Dragon, Leo was confident in killing even the peak supreme-ranked monsters. Of course, for that, he needed to use his trump cards like [Nether Rage Booster] or [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. However, since there was only one level 9 supreme-ranked monster, Leo wanted to kill it without using those two trump cards. Therefore, Leo asked his two official tamed beasts to take care of the level 8 supreme-ranked monsters whereas he would take care of the level 9 supreme-ranked monsters. ''Even though there were nearly 2000 level 8 supreme-ranked monsters, their battle prowess would be reduced by 10 percent thanks to my title [Supreme Killer].'' Leo was not worried that his two tamed beasts would be overwhelmed by the huge number of monsters because of the effects of the title. At the same time, he decided to kill a few level 8 supreme-ranked monsters from time to time to reduce their burden. "Yes, Master." Hearing Leo''s orders, the two official tamed beasts were not worried; instead, they were excited because finally, they could feel some blood rush as their opponents were not weak. ''Mooh'' ''Stomp'' The Terra Minotaur Tyrant turned into a huge Terra Bull Tyrant before rushing towards the level 8 supreme-ranked monsters. ''Roar'' As for the Void Dragon King, it opened three portals within one kilometer radius and started the massacre of the level 8 supreme-ranked monsters using those three portals. ¡­ ''Hiss~'' [Space Maniption - Teleportation] [Golden Wyvern Wings] [Weapon Skill - Weapon Eye] Leo and the huge serpent lunged at each other; however, Leo disappeared in the mid-air and appeared in the sky where he activated the weapon''s skill. ''Swiish'' As soon as he activated the weapon skill, Leo saw so many scales on the snake''s percent shone with bright light. ''Huh? It has so many weaknesses. Looks like I can kill this serpent easily.'' When Leo saw those shining scales, he could not help but reveal an excited smile because the more weakness an opponent has, the easier for him to win the fight. ''What''s more, now, I have high-level supreme-grade weapons. Hence, no matter how high its defence is, I can easily pierce through its scales.'' Once Leo noted down all the weak spots of the level 9 supreme-ranked serpent, Leo didn''t bother to waste any time. [Space Maniption - Rapid Teleportation] After repeated usage of the [Space Maniption], Leo unlocked a new effect for this space talent. With the help of this [Rapid Teleportation], Leo could teleport from one location to the final location by blinking six times in the middle. ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' . . In less than two seconds, Leo had already pierced or shed six weak spots of the serpent. [Space Maniption - Rapid Teleportation] Leo didn''t stop yet as he attacked six more weak spots. ''Hiss~'' Seeing that Leo was so fast and attacking its weak spots, the level 9 supreme-ranked serpent hissed in anger before activating its talent. [Special Blood Clones] The blood rushed out of the injuries made by Leo started floating in the mid-air and they turned into a snake that looks just like the level 9 supreme-ranked snake but their size was half of the main snake. In an instant, the huge snake was surrounded by thousands of blood snakes. ''Huh? Their strength is level 7 and 8 supreme-rank?'' Even though Leo had already sensed the level 9 supreme-ranked snake would have a talent simr to the clones, he didn''t expect that its clones would have such a high strength. ''Hiss~'' The Blood Serpent King knew his opponent was not an ordinary human and might kill him if he was not careful. Therefore, he ordered all his clones to attack Leo and kill him as soon as possible. ''Hiss~'' At the same time, it also rushed at Leo to kill him as soon as possible because it was its basic instinct to kill Leo and stop him from bing the new emperor of this world. ''It looks like I have to use this.'' Nevertheless, Leo looked at the snakes that were rushing toward him with a slight smile on his face. [Weapon Skill - Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] As soon as Leo activated the soul skill of the Arcane Silver, the Blood Serpent King felt its battle prowess was being suppressed by more than 50 percent. ''Ding, ? 1) 10 percent suppression from [Supreme Killer]. 2) 50 percent suppression from [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation]. ''Ding, Soul Skill: Ancestor Serpent Manifestation. Effect: When this skill is activated a huge phantom of the Ancestor Serpent will appear above the weapon holder for five minutes and the phantom gives the following benefits to the holder. 1) All serpent-type monsters, beasts or even tribe members below the Supreme rank will acknowledge the weapon holder as their master until the phantom disappears. 2) As for the supreme-ranked serpent-type beings, their battle prowess will be reduced by 25 percent. 3) [New] If the sword user selects a single serpent, its battle prowess will be reduced by 50 percent. After Arcane Silver upgraded to the high-level supreme-grade sword, all its existing skills were also upgraded and the most important one was the new effect of the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation]. ''However, the duration of the skill is still the same, which is only five minutes.'' Leo felt it was the only thing that didn''t change. Nevertheless, the new effect could help him fight powerful snake-type beasts without any worries. Even though Leo has the title [Snake Killer], the effects from the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation] won''t stack with each other. Moreover, the level 8 supreme-ranked monsters that his tamed beasts were fighting were not snakes. So, if he used [Snake Killer], it would make things difficult for him. ''Since they are just the clones of the Blood Serpent King, as long as his battle prowess was suppressed, their battle prowess will also be suppressed.'' After activating the [Ancestor Serpent Manifestation], Leo didn''t waste any time as he rushed towards the huge serpent while dodging all the blood clones of the Blood Serpent King. [Spatial Triple sh - First Strike] ''sh'' After some thinking, Leo selected a weak spot of the Blood Serpent King that was seven steps below his head to attack. Once he selected that weak spot, he activated his special talent [Spatial Triple sh]. ''Ding, The host has sessfullynded the first strike and dealt 100 percent of additional damage. ''Good'' Leo nodded his head as he teleported a few more times to dodge the blood clones of the Blood Serpent King and at the same time, he dodged the surprise attacks of the Blood Serpent King himself. [Spatial Triple sh - Second Strike] ''sh'' ''Ding, The host has sessfullynded the first strike and dealt 500 percent of additional damage. [Spatial Triple sh - Third Strike] ''Puchi'' ''Ding, The host has sessfullynded the first strike and dealt 1000 percent of additional damage. Without any surprise, Leo was able tond the second and third strikes on the Blood Serpent King in no time and in the third strike, Leo was able to cut the thick body of the Blood Serpent King into two, surprising the Gods who were watching Leo. ''Huh? End of the First Round?'' Chapter 415 [Special Blood Clones] After killing the Blood Serpent King, his blood clones disappeared without a trace and as for the other level 8 supreme-ranked monsters, they were soon killed by thebined forces of Leo, Sutin and the Void Dragon King. As soon as they cleared the Blood Serpent King and the remaining level 8 supreme-ranked monsters, the Ancient Voice announced the end of the first round. [What? The first round is finished?] [How long has it been? 12 hours? 14 hours?] [Wait a second¡­that human killed all the monsters in the first round. That''s the reason why the first round has been ended] Eight out of eleven gods were surprised at the suddenpletion of the First Round because ording to the Ancient Voice, the first round wouldst for three days. However, it''s been less than a day and it has alreadye to an end. Nevertheless, the remaining three Gods were able toe to a conclusion behind the suddenpletion of the First Round. ''As I guessed, killing all the monsters pouring out of the portals will end the first round ahead by time.'' Earlier, Leo assumed it; however, when he heard the Ancient Voice''s announcement and the Gods'' conversation, Leo nodded his head in understanding. ''System, swallow the Blood Serpent King''s special talent.'' Even though the Blood Serpent King was unable to use his special talent [Special Blood Clones] to the fullest, Leo could tell how useful that talent would be for him. ''With that talent, I can take care of multiple cities during the world assessment.'' For now, Leo had the ability to travel between his cities; however, he can''t stay in two cities to fight the monsters during the World Assessment or Invasions, therefore, Leo felt it was a good talent to have for him. ''Swoosh'' Soon, an invisible barrier appeared around Leo and the huge corpse of the Blood Serpent King blocking Gods'' view. ''Ding, The host swallowed a new special talent [Special Blood Clones]. ''Ding, Talent Name: Special Blood Clones (Level 1). Talent Type: Special / Rare. Effect: The user can summon one blood clone that has 50 percent of his original battle prowess. Current Strength: Level 1 Supreme Rank. Strength of the Clones: rank 9 (50 percent). Note: 1) Since this is a special talent, the highest rank of the special talent will be considered as the user''s main strength. p 2) The summoned clones are incapable of using the Normal Talents or the Super Special Talents. They could only use the main body''s special talents. Special Effect: Perfect Clones: Upon activation, the user''s clones will gain the 100 percent battle prowess of the main body for one minute. Soon, Leo extracted the talent and swallowed it before making it his own talent. ''System upgrade it to peak level 9.'' Since Leo has millions of [Supreme Promote Points] and [Promote Points], Leo didn''t mind spending them on the [Special Blood Clones] because he was curious about how many clones he could summon. ''Ding, The host has spent 62626000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the [Special Blood Clones] to level 9. Even after spending more than 62 million [Promote Points], Leo was left with more than 200 million [Promote Points]. As for the [Supreme Promote Points], there were nearly one billion [Supreme Promote Points] which Leo was saving to upgrade the strength of his family and followers after returning to the human world. Of course, he was also nning to upgrade his own special talents too; however, he had toplete other requirements along with the [Supreme Promote Points]. ''The number of the Blood Clones I can summon increased from one to nine and the special effect [Perfect Clones]''s duration increased from one minutes to ten minutes. Not bad.'' Even though there were no new special effects even after upgrading the talent to level 9, Leo was not disappointed. ''Since there are no new special effects for the [Special Blood Clones], then there will be more changes when it bes a supreme grade talent.'' For example, Leo''s special talents [Mighty Combustion], [Space Maniption] and a few other talents unlocked a special effect when they reach level 9; however, there were not many changes in them after upgrading to the Supreme Grade. Therefore, Leo guessed there would be many changes for the [Special Blood Clones] once it bes a Supreme-Grade talent. [Except for the Dragon God, all the Gods who were watching the Re: World Assessment were quite satisfied with your fight] Followed by the notifications from the [Thoughts of Gods], Leo suddenly received the offer from two gods. [Human, do you want to be my Temporary Apostle? As long as you be the Temporary Apostle of I, the Masked God, I will bless you with a Super Special Talent that can help you fool the Gods watching you] [Of course, I will be an exception] [Human, you have a Super Special Talent that lets you devour the corpses to convert them into energy. If I am not wrong, you might asionally awaken their talents too.] [Why don''t you be the Temporary Apostle of I, Massacre God? I will let you fight more powerful beings. What do you say?] ''Masked God and Massacre God?'' It was Leo''s first time hearing the names of these gods and from their names alone, Leo could tell one was mysterious and the other one was evil. For Leo, whether it was a Righteous God or an Evil God, it doesn''t matter, because he doesn''t want to be a puppet for any other gods except for the God who created the [Talent Swallowing System]. Without the help of the [Talent Swallowing System], Leo would have died long back. So, Leo didn''t mind bing the Apostle to that God to repay for his help. "I want to meet the Avatars or the Remnant Spirits of the God who wishes to make me their apostle in person to make some negotiations. Please find some private space where we can talk without other gods not seeing or hearing us." ***** 100 Golden Tickets = Bonus Chapter. Chapter 416 [Bonus Chapter] A Plan To Devour Gods After receiving the offers from the two gods namely: Masked God and the Massacre God, Leo didn''t reject them directly. Instead, he thought of something and said that he wants to negotiate with the Gods. [Huh? Negotiations?] When the Gods heard Leo''s words, they were surprised and looked at each other wondering which god was in such a hurry that he had already made an offer to the human. Nevertheless, the remnant spirit of the Masked God and the Massacre God didn''t show any emotion on their faces and at the same time, they didn''t say that they were the ones who made the offer to the human. Most of the Gods'' main bodies would be in their own realms and do their own things. As for recruiting the Temporary or Permanent Apostles, it would be done by the remnant spirits or the Avatar. Of course, the ones who were watching the Re: World Assessment were also not the main bodies of the Gods; instead, they were just the remnant spirits who travel from one world to another without actually entering the world to recruit the apostles. "Whoever offers me more things, I will be that God''s temporary apostle." Leo looked at the sky and said those words. [Even though this human brat is good, he seems arrogant] [I feel the same. Even if one has the talent and battle prowess, their own arrogance leads them to their destruction] [I wonder who offered him without knowing about hisplete nature] [I think I know who it is] The Gods felt that Leo''s words were filled with arrogance by iming that he was an unpolished gem and the Gods had to bid negotiations to make him their apostle. Soon, some gods were able to figure out who might have offered the apostle position to Leo and looked at them with a chuckle. "Of course, you can wait and see my performance until the end of the Re: World Assessment and depending on that, we can start negotiating." Even though the gods were discussing among themselves, Leo could hear them without any problem and added a few more words. [Let''s see] [I wonder where he was getting his confidence from] [He onlypleted the first round but there will be two more rounds that would make him give up in the middle for sure] . . They didn''t bother to speak with Leo; instead, they continued to make fun of Leo and decided to see whether Leo had it in him or whatever he was iming he had. ''By the end of this Re: World Assessment, even if it was not required to use the trump cards, I will use them. Let''s see which one of you doesn''t bid for me.'' Leo silentlyughed inside his head as he muttered, ''I hope, my n words and I can swallow as many remnant spirits as possible.'' Of course, Leo was not going to be their apostle just because they offered him more items and promised great things; instead, he was nning to devour them. By devouring them, not only he would get some good items but he would also get the God Essence and a new goal has been added to his list after learning about the God Essence and the God Space. Leo''s new goal was to collect 100 units of the God Essence and unlock the God Space and be a partial God. ''I am really curious about what kind of Godly Ability I will get after unlocking the God Space.'' Leo was both excited and curious about it; however, he knew it was going to take quite some time as he needed to devour 99 more remnant spirits of the Gods. ''If my n [Devouring Gods] goes as nned, I can devour 11 remnant spirits of the Gods, leaving me with 88 more remnant spirits.'' The only thing that Leo could do other than n was to hope whatever he ns goes smoothly through any obstacles. ''As long as it is sessful, I can try this method on the World Assessment of the human world.'' Even though the human world was just a gradeless world, the remnant spirits of the Gods woulde to watch its world assessment because it was the best time to find the unpolished gems. The more powerful the world bes, the lower their chances will be because thepetition among the gods would be high. ''Anyway, I have to be careful.'' Soon, Leo used the [Absolute Devour] to clear all the corpses on the ground and gained quite a lot of Talent Awakening Crystals. ? After that, he found a ce to seat and checked out his rewards from clearing the First Rounds of the Re: World Assessment. ''Ding, [Promote Points]: 400 million. [Supreme Promote Points]: 1.1 Billion. [Talent Awakening Crystals]: 30000. Since there were so many supreme-ranked monsters, Leo received a lot of the [Supreme Promote Points]pared to the [Promote Points]. If there were more supreme-ranked beasts, then the number of talent awakening stones he received was also not small. ''Five years back, I was hoping to have at least one talent and now if I want, I can even get one million talents without any problem.'' Leo could not help but remember his past when he was still an unawakened human. ''After sessfullypleting the world assessment, I have to get rid of all the secret organizations and the ve Marker.'' Afterpleting the World Assessment, Leo understood that he would be the emperor of the world without any doubt. Hence, in his world, Leo didn''t want such organizations anymore. As for the ve Marker, it was toplete his revenge and at the same time, he didn''t want a ve Marker in his world that could create ves. ''Also, should I use the Golden Peacock Feather for this Re: World Assessment or should I keep it for the World Assessment of the human world?'' After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to use it for the Re: World Assessment if he sessfullypletes it becausepared to the rewards of the normal World Assessment, the rewards for the Re: World Assessment would be 10 times more generous. Soon, one hour passed by and Leo heard the Ancient Voice. ***** 100 Golden Tickets = Bonus Chapter. Chapter 417 Second Round: Subduing Monsters Soon, the Ancient Voice announced the objective of the second round. [Huh? Acknowledgement? When did a grade 1 Re: World Assessments have anything to do with the acknowledgement of the monster races?] [I have watched a few Re: World Assessment in the past; however, they didn''t have such round despite being grade 3 and r Re: World Assessment] [Same here. It''s my first time seeing such a round in a low-level world assessment] . . All the gods were surprised with the objective of the second round becausepared to killing the monsters, getting their acknowledgement was much harder. Moreover, all the monsters thate out of the portal are affected by some kind of mysterious energy that makes them go temporarily crazy. ? What''s more, the effects wouldst for a few years to centuries before they were capable of thinking straight. So, it was almost impossible for Leo to subdue them because those monsters, in their current state, would not be able to listen to Leo''s words and if Leo let down his guard while trying to subdue them, they would kill him. [Wait a second¡­I think I know why there is such a round] Suddenly, one of the old gods thought of something and informed the other gods. [Since that human killed all the natives of the Grade 1 Dragon World, it needs new native beings. And the easiest way to get natives for this world was to subdue a few monster races thate out of the portal]. [Moreover, that human was capable ofpleting the first round in less than a day. Therefore, it is normal for ''Him'' to announce such a round in this grade 1 Re: World Assessment] [That might be the reason] The remaining gods agreed with the old god''s exnation regarding the second round''s objective. [Anyway, let''s see whether he could still maintain his arrogance] Most of the Gods silently thought that it would be a little difficult for Leo toplete the second round. At the same time, they were hoping that Leo would let go of his arrogance and beg their help inpleting the second round. That''s right! If the Gods who were watching the world assessment found a suitable candidate to be their apostle, they could help him to a certain extent without any penalty. Therefore, the Gods were hoping to see Leo fall to his knees and beg them for their help inpleting the second round. ¡­.. ''Beg for their help? That''s not going to happen.'' Leo scoffed at them after learning about their thoughts through the [Thoughts of the Gods]. Nevertheless, he didn''t show it on his face and thought about the second round''s objective. ''Three monster races? I wonder how many monster races will being out in the second round.'' Since the Ancient Voice said that he had to get the acknowledgement from at least three monster races, Leo guessed there would be more than three monster races. Hence he wondered about the number of monster races because if there were more monster races, the more easily it would be for Leo toplete the second round. ''Swoosh'' Soon, portals started opening in the distance as both humanoid beings and the beasts walked out of them. From each portal, only one monster walked out and there were 100 portals which means hundred of different monsters came out of the portals. ''Huh? 100 different races?'' Leo raised his eyebrows when he saw the single monster each from 100 different races walk out of the portal and thought, ''Among these 100 monsters, I just have to get the acknowledgement from three monsters, right?'' Aftering to that conclusion, Leo felt that the second round was not as hard as he thought it was. Suddenly, the Ancient Voice resounded in the world again, exining a few more things about the second round. Nevertheless, Leo got rity after hearing the announcements from the Ancient Voice. ''Interesting¡­so, just by subduing a single monster, I can gain control over his entire tribe.'' Suddenly, Leo felt the second round of the Re: World Assessment turned into an exciting test for him and he was determined to subdue as many monster kings as possible. ''Roar'' ''Aargh'' After walking out of the portals, these 100 monsters looked around and the moment their eyes fell on Leo, they became excited before rushing towards him. ''Void, Sutin, I will summon you when I require you.'' Seeing the 100 monsters, Leo didn''t waste any time and hurriedly sent his two official beasts into the Beast Space that was unlocked when he turned Void and Sutin into his official tamed beasts. Since the objective of this round was not to kill them, Leo didn''t need them and by letting them stay out, they would be hindering his ns. Therefore, he sent them into Beast Space before ordering the system. ''System, analyze the strengths of these 100 monsters and show me.'' [Space Maniption - Teleportation] At the same time, Leo maintained his distance from the 100 monsters while waiting for the system''s report on their strength. ''Ding, Level 9 supreme-ranked monsters: 10. Level 8 supreme-ranked monsters: 30. Level 7 supreme-ranked monsters: 60. ''Ding, All 100 monsters are king-type monsters. So, they would be more powerful than the regr monsters with the same strength. ''Since this world is empty, I should fill it with some powerful races for the uing World Assessments.'' The grade 1 world assessment was just a beginning because there would be higher grade world assessments in the future. To pass them, Leo requires powerful natives for his world. "Let''s start the first step of my n [Subdue Monster Kings]" ***** 100 Golden Tickets = Bonus Chapter. Chapter 418 Knocking Out Monster Kings ording to Leo, the first step of subduing any monster was to tire it out. Only then, it could listen to your words. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and directly used his first trump card. [Supreme Nether Domain - Nether Rage Booster] Since there were ten level 9 supreme-ranked monster kings along with 30 level 8 supreme-ranked and 60 level 7 supreme-ranked monster kings, Leo knew it would be hard for him to control all of them without using his trump cards. ''Ding, The host''s talent [Call of the Lightning] will be upgraded to level 9 supreme-rank for one minute. ''Time to execute the n.'' Leo felt his special talent [Call of the Lightning] was a good talent to tire out all the monster kings within a minute even without using the special effect of that talent. From what Leo had experienced earlier, he was confident that if he used the special effect [Lightning of the Obliteration], they would be instantly killed. However, his motive was not to kill them; instead, he wanted to tame them all. That''s right! After hearing the Gods'' thoughts, Leo realized that there should be so many powerful natives for the world to save it from external threats and also during the World Assessments. [Call of the Lightning - Lightning Rush] As soon as Leo used the basic effect of the [Call of the Lightning], dozens of lightning shes descended from the sky andnded on the monster kings. p ''sh'' ''Sizzle'' ''Roar'' ''Aargh'' Whether it was a humanoid beast or a regr beast, all 100 monster kings roared in pain and tried to kill Leo as soon as possible to stop the lightning shes from the sky. However, the closer they move towards Leo, the more lightning shes wouldnd on them until they copse onto the ground. ''Even though they were insane, it only makes things easy for me to tire them out.'' Looking at the monster kings that were falling to the ground, Leo could not help but think about it. No matter how dumb a monster was, the moment it saw the lightning shes, it would unconsciously step back and think about it before attacking its prey. However, since they only think about killing Leo because of their enhanced bloodthirsty nature, they don''t even care about their death as they continue to rush towards Leo who easily knocks them out with his lightning shes in less than half a minute. ''Even though these 10 level 9 supreme-ranked monster kings took more than a dozen lightning shes before falling to the ground, they were still very weakpared to the Crimson Fire Dragon.'' After fighting the Crimson Fire Dragon, Leo''s horizons were broadened and the level 9 supreme-ranked monsters or beasts no longer made him doubt his battle prowess anymore. ''Anyway, the first step of my [Subdue the Monster Kings] is done. Now, it''s time for the second step.'' Looking at the 100 fallen monster kings all around him, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face. ''Since I still have [Mighty Bull Tamer] talent, I should try to subdue the bull-type monster kings.'' Of course, Leo didn''t forget any of his special talents and decided to use the [Mighty Bull Tamer] to tame the bull-type monster kings first before subduing the other monster kings. There were a total of five bull-type monster kings among the 100 monster kings in which only one of them was a level 9 supreme rank. As for the remaining four, two of them have level 8 supreme rank and the other two have level 7 supreme rank. [Mighty Bull Tamer] Leo walked towards a level 9 supreme rank bull-type monster, the zing Minotaur King and ced his hand on him. ''Mooh'' The zing Minotaur King was unable to be calm as he furiously bellowed at Leo as though he wanted to kill Leo at any cost. "It''s alright! Calm down." Leo tried to calm the Minotaur King; however, it was useless as the zing Minotaur King continued to bellow at him. The moment he recovered from his injuries, the zing Minotaur King would directly rush at Leo without any doubt. ''Huh? Is it because my [Mighty Bull Tamer] is a level 1 supreme grade talent?'' Seeing that his [Mighty Bull Tamer] was not working on the zing Minotaur King, Leo frowned and looked at the remaining bull-type monster kings in the distance. ''Let''s try it on them.'' Soon, Leo decided to try his talent on the other bull-type monster kings. [So, he was hiding a trump card that could boost one of his special talents to level 9 supreme rank. No wonder, he was arrogant about it] [However, I don''t know what he is doing with those bull-type monster kings. Is he trying to calm them with words?] [Damn this brat¡­why can''t I see through his talents? Is he using some Godly Artifact that blocks us from seeing through him?] [I was also wondering about it for a while now; however, I don''t think it is a Godly Artifact. Instead, I think he might have already be the apostle of some god] [If what you said was true, then it must be a Powerful God] Seeing that, Leo was able to knock out all the monster kings with his trump card, all Gods understood why Leo was so arrogant. At the same time, they also came to a simr conclusion as the gods who watched Leo''s fight with Morgan in the Heavenly Fighting Arena. Just like how there were power levels in the mortal realm, there were also power levels among the Gods. As for how they were ssified, Leo had no idea whatsoever about it and he was not worried about it now; instead, he had the main problem to solve now. ''Why is my [Mighty Bull Tamer] not working even on the level 7 supreme-ranked bulls?'' After failing to calm the level 9 supreme-ranked zing Minotaur King, Leo used his talent on the remaining four bull-type monsters; however, his talent seemed like it was not working. ''Wait a second¡­I know where the problem is. I canplete the second round sooner than I thought¡­Haha.'' **** Every 100 Golden Tickets = One Bonus Chapter. Chapter 419 [Bonus Chapter] Rage Enhancement Seal Suddenly, Leo saw something on the level 7 supreme-ranked monster beside the bull monster he tried using his [Mighty Bull Tamer] talent. Once he saw that Leo became excited and felt he could finallyplete the second round. [Seal Swallowing Ability - Activate] Since the Ancient Voice announced that he would get more rewards if he finished the sound round in the shortest time, Leo didn''t waste any time and activated his [Seal Swallowing Ability] That''s right! After learning that his special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer] was not working on any of the five bull-type monster kings, Leo thought the second round of the Re: World Assessment was very difficult. Even though his [Mighty Bull Tamer] was only a level 1 supreme-ranked talent, Leo was confident that he could easily tame the injured bull-type monsters. So, when he was thinking about the problem, Leo saw a small red-coloured tattoo on the body of one of the monster kings. [Rage Enhancement Seal] - When this seal was engraved on anyone, they would temporarily lose their reasoning and be insane. For powerful beings like level 9 supreme ranked beings, it wouldst for one week before disappearing. Also, the side effect of the [Rage Enhancement Seal] is they will lose their partial intelligence and be primitive. Thanks to his [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo was able to learn the full information about the [Rage Enhancement Seal] which helped Leo understand why his [Mighty Bull Tamer] was not working on the monster kings. At the same time, Leo also understood more about the monsters on how their intelligence was lost and how it will take a long time for them to retain their intelligence. ''For the Shadow Vampire brothers and the other monsters, it took nearly a few decades to gain their intelligence because they were humanoid beasts. As for the non-humanoid monsters, it took nearly a century.'' Leo silently thought about it for a few moments before keeping those thoughts aside. ''Ding, The host has sessfully swallowed all supreme-ranked [Rage Enhancement Seals] within a 100-meter radius. Soon, Leo received the system notification regarding the seals that were engraved on the bodies of the monster kings. ''...'' As soon as Leo received the system notification, his surroundings became entirely quiet because the monster kings were no longer furious and lying on the ground unconsciously. ''Now, I can reason with them, right?'' Since they were no longer furious, Leo thought there won''t be any problem in talking with them before making them his followers. [What?] [What happened to all those seals?] [Did he have a super special talent to erase the seals?] [Damn it¡­I really want to see how many talents he has] . . . On the other hand, all Gods who were watching Leo were shocked when they saw Leo erase all the [Rage Enhancement Seals] from the bodies of the Monster Kings in a few seconds. Just like how [Seal Engraving] was a Super Special Talent, [Seal Erasing] was also a Super Special Talent. They have already seen Leo devour the corpses of so many monsters that came out of the portals and they could tell it was a Super Special Talent that could replenish Leo''s energy and there was a small chance of getting his opponent''s talent. That was their guess behind why Leo has more than five talents and when they learned that Leo has another super special talent, they were shocked. However, what they didn''t know was that Leo has six super special talents and if it was known, they might even fight among themselves for Leo to make him their apostle. [Even though [Seal Erasing] talent doesn''t look useful in the starting levels, it would be extremely useful as he grows powerful] [I have to make him my Permanent Apostle at any cost] [As long as I can nurture him properly and help him ascend to Godhood, I can be more powerful and reach the level of those Ancient Gods] . . . All Gods have more or less the same thoughts regarding Leo and it was none other than making Leo their permanent apostle at any cost. Just a few moments back, they thought Leo was arrogant and all; however, after seeing that Leo could instantly erase the supreme-grade seals with his current strength, they changed their attitude towards him. Even though they got an idea of Leo''s [Absolute Devour] talent, they didn''t think much about it because this talent will be only useful in the initial stages of the [Path of the Heroes]; however, in the future, as the number of talents he gained through this talent would only slow down his growth. On the other hand, Gods thought the opposite for the [Seal Erasing]. Therefore, they were in a hurry to make Leo their Apsotle at any cost. ¡­. ''Huh? Erasing the seals is more useful in the future?'' When Leo learned that his [Seal Swallowing Ability] would be more useful in the future, he was surprised a little and looked forward to it. As for now, he had toplete the second round of the Re: World Assessment. So, he started his subduing of the monster kings from the level 7 supreme-ranked bull-type monster kings. [Ball of the Divine Healing] Leo was careful while using his new super special talent and limited the healing power to very little. If he used the full healing power of his super special talent, all the monster kings would stand up and might attack him again. Therefore, Leo only healed them in a way that they could barely get their consciousness. So that, he could subdue them with his [Godly Beast Tamer] and the [Mighty Bull Tamer] [I have to kill that native and make him fail in this world assessment] [If my tribe members stay in that endless space any longer, they would go crazy] [Even if I die, I have to get somece for my tribe members to live in this world] Soon, Leo''s head was filled with the thoughts of those monster kings that gained their consciousness after Leo used his super special talent [Ball of the Divine Healing]. **** Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation! Chapter 420 A Fair World Since the [Rage Enhancement Seal] was removed before it was integrated with the bodies of the monster kings, they were able to maintain their intelligence without any side effects. However, they were still unable to get up because they felt their bodies werepletely tired despite healing their injuries. Leo was able to hear the thoughts of the Monster Kings within the 100 meters because of his super special talent [Godly Beast Tamer]. ''T-they all want the same thing.'' He was surprised for a moment when he heard the thoughts of all the monster kings which were more or less the same. They all want to kill Leo because by killing him, they could be the owners of this world and their tribes could find a ce to live. ''It looks like they were not affected by the side effects of the [Rage Enhancement Seal]. It looks like I canplete the mission ahead of time.'' Even though Leo felt the chances of the monster kings being affected by the side effects of the [Rage Enhancement Seal] were less, he was worried because he was not sure. Only after hearing the thoughts of the monster kings, Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he was fully confident inpleting the second round of the Re: World Assessment. ''Moreover, it''s been only five minutes and if I can tame all these 100 monster kings, I would get a generous reward, right?'' Leo remembered the words of the Ancient Voice and could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. "Do you have a ce to live in this world, right?" Once Leo understood the deepest desire of the 100 monster kings, Leo didn''t waste any time as he directly spoke in a loud and clear voice. "As long as you swear your loyalty to me, I will let you and your tribe members stay in this world." ''I hope they believe my words.'' After finishing his words, Leo silently hoped that they would believe his words. In this universe, it was not an easy thing to gain others'' trust. What''s more, Leo was a human. For the other races, humans were greedy and evil and could manipte them with their words. If they didn''t believe his words, they would only fight him until they die, which Leo didn''t want to happen. Therefore, he hoped they would believe his words. ''...'' As soon as Leo finished his words, all the monster kings remained silent before five monster kings tried to move; however, they were unable to move. "Master, we can''t officially bow to you. Please forgive us." After trying for a few seconds, the five bull-type monster kings replied to Leo in an apologetic tone. ''Only five?'' Leo frowned as he looked at the other monster kings who were still lying down on the ground without showing any signs of acknowledging him as his master. ''Is it because of the [Mighty Bull Tamer] that I was able to get the acknowledgement from these five bull-type monsters?'' Leo guessed the reason and started thinking of something to get the acknowledgement from the other monster kings. With the acknowledgement of the five bull-type monster kings, Leo basicallypleted the second round; however, Leo was looking to tame the remaining monster kings for the following reasons. 1) To get more rewards from the Re: World Assessment. 2) To make the Grade 1 Dragon World more powerful by having more monster kings which are level 7 to level 9 supreme-ranked strength. 3) The more monster races the world has, the higher the chances of greater talents appearing in the world. He could either nurture those special talents and create more powerhouses or just swallow their talents to make himself more powerful. As Leo was thinking of some effective lines to make the remaining monster kings acknowledge him as their master, the Ancient Voice resounded from the sky. "I will continue." Leo didn''t have to think much to reply to that question because he was confident in getting the acknowledgement from others as long as he had enough time. Soon, the Ancient Voice said a few more things about the second round, making Leo nod his head. ''So, I have one hour left to tame as many monster kings as possible.'' Leo raised his brows and focused on listening to the thoughts of the monster kings. [Can we believe these humans?] [Humans are evil and turn us into ves if they were given an opportunity] [Not only us but our entire tribe would also be turned into ves] [I think I don''t have an option other than taking risks. If they stayed for a few days in that dark space, they will bepletely turned into mindless creatures] [It is much better to live as vespared to turning into a mindless creature and killing my own tribe members] . . Some of the monster kings thought they should not believe the human whereas some of them decided to believe the human even though they knew it was very risky. "Those who were worried that I will turn you and your tribe members into ves, they don''t have to worry about it." After listening to their thoughts, Leo said, "As long as you swear your loyalty to me, I will grant you a piece ofnd in this world for your tribe to live. "Not only you, but even your tribe members can live in this world without fearing turning into mindless creatures." "Of course, there will be certainws in this world and as long as you follow them, you will be safe." Leo didn''t stop speaking as he continued, "I am going to make a fair world for everyone to live in." Chapter 421 Generous Offers From Gods [A fair world?] [This human brat has some great ambitions] [Aren''t we all the same? It always starts with that goal and before we know it, our own worlds will be unfair] [Also, how did that brat know about the Dark Space? Did his Sponsered god tell him about such things at the beginning itself?] [Even though ''Fair World'' doesn''t work, the ''Dark Space'' will definitely have an impact on the monster kings as their tribe members might turn into insane monsters at any moment now] [It looks like he was going to get the acknowledgement from all the monster kings] [The moment that brat removed the [Rage Enhancement Seal] from the bodies of the monster kings, I knew he would get the acknowledgement from the monster kings because these monster kings were no longer affected by the effects or side effects of the [Rage Enhancement Seal].] [That''s right! After erasing the [Rage Enhancement Seal], the first thing these monster kings could think was about their tribe members] . . . Even before Leo could get the acknowledgement from the monster kings, all Gods were very confident in him. Therefore, they were more determined to get Leo as their apostle; however, they decided to wait until Leopletes the second round of the Re: World Assessment. ¡­. "Master, please give us shelter in this world." "I will follow Master''s orders as long as he saves my tribe members by giving us some ce for us to stay." . . Soon, the remaining 95 monster kings started swearing their loyalty to Leo after thinking for some time. Because they only wanted to save their tribe members who were currently inside the special region called Dark Space where they would be turned insane if they stayed for too long. After seeing how easily Leo defeated them all with a single attack, the monster kings felt they didn''t have any other option other than bowing down their heads to the human. Therefore, after hearing Leo''s words, the monster king decided to give the human in front of them a chance. ''Even though it was a little difficult for me to find out if anyone was having second thoughts about bing my subordinate, it''s alright! I can slowly make them loyal to me with enough time.'' Leo was not worried about the betrayal of his subordinates because until now, none of his followers has betrayed him so far. ''I hope it continues like that in the future because I don''t want to kill my followers with my own hands.'' Nevertheless, Leo feared that with the increase in the number of followers, it would be difficult to escape the betrayal of his followers. ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' Soon, the Ancient Voice''s announcement resounded in the sky and in the next second, the 100 monster kings around him started disappearing one after another, making Leo raise his brows. ''Aren''t they supposed to be my followers from now on? Why are they disappearing?'' Leo didn''t understand what was happening; however, he thought it must have something to do with the Ancient Voice. As though it sensed the confusion on Leo''s face, the Ancient Voice informed Leo about the disappearance of the monster kings, making him nod his head. After saying that, the Ancient Voice didn''t bother to exin anything more to Leo. ''Six hours? Isn''t it a little too long? Or is it because of the cooldown from the [Supreme Nether Domain - Herculean Domain]?'' Leo understood why the Ancient Voice gave him six hours of resting when he connected that cooldown time and his resting time for the third round of the Re: World Assessment. ''It looks like this Ancient Voice is not making things difficult for me and following the rules.'' At the same time, Leo could not help butpare the Ancient Voice he heard in the Dragon World with the Ancient Voice he heard in the gradeless human world. Leo thought this Ancient Voice was following the rules without letting his emotions change the rules as he wished. ''I hope he gives the rewards as he promised and don''t force the rewards like that b*stard.'' Previously, the Ancient Voice who was in charge of the gradeless human world forcefully gave rewards to Leo which he didn''t like. Moreover, he acted like he was doing some kind of favour for Leo, making Leo quite annoyed and frustrated that Leo was hoping to repay him for sure in the future. ¡­. [Human, be my permanent apostle and I will make you the ruler of hundreds of worlds] [Human, I will help you ascend to Godhood. What do you say? Interesting, right?] [If you acknowledge me as your Sponsered God, I will clear all your obstacles and help you reach Godhood] [I will let you enter the [Treasure Lands] that were created by the Ancient Gods. Just by entering it, you can increase your strength by so much and if you can get a few items from them, you will ascend to Godhood on your own without anyone''s help] . . One God after another started offering Leo with their offers to be their permanent apostle; however, Leo looked at the sky with a smile. "I already said that let''s discuss these things in private. The one who provides me with many valuable things, I will be their apostle." Leo shrugged his hands and sat down in his ce and started cultivating to increase the Starlight Energy inside his Starlight Dantian. [Th..this brat¡­he is too much but I don''t want to lose him to other gods] More or less, this was the thought in the heads of all gods except for the Dragon God who was trying to find a way to mess up with Leo. [I think I have to use that item and change the third round as I like¡­Keke] Soon, the Dragon God startedughing inside his head as he finally came up with a n to make Leo fail the Re: World Assessment. **** Gifts = Bonus Chapters Chapter 422 [Bonus Chapter] Final Round Leo might have the potential to join the ranks of the Gods; however, for the Dragon God, there was only one thing in his mind and it was to kill Leo at any cost. How could he let Leo get away after killing two of his apostles along with his world? Therefore, the Dragon God thought of something that would make Leo definitely fail the third round of the Re: World Assessment. [By doing so, I will get back my grade 1 Dragon World. So, it is worth spending 1000 units of the God Essence on it] With an evil smile on his face, the Dragon God summoned a small coin out of nowhere and muttered something. ''Swiish'' In the next second, the small Golden Coin disappeared without a trace and the smile on the Dragon God''s face widened with excitement. [Now, let''s see how you are going to survive the third round¡­Keke¡­wait for a second¡­should I get back the 1000 units of the God Essence I spent just now?] After using the small Golden Coins, the Dragon God was in a good mood and maybe it was because of his good mood, the Dragon God thought of something to get back his God Essence. [Everyone, why don''t we make a small gamble on whether that human will clear the Re: World Assessment or not?] Once he thought of getting back the God Essence he spent, the Dragon God didn''t waste any time and directly executed his n. [Huh? Small gamble?] [I am in. I was waiting for someone to start it] [Sure] [Dragon God, I know you are trying to recover your loss of losing this Grade 1 Dragon World; however, do you think you can recover it?] [It''s alright! If I recover some losses, it''s good and if not¡­.let''s not talk about bad things] The Dragon God knew most of the gods don''t back off when ites to gambling. Therefore, he was sure that the other gods would join him if he proposed it. Most of them thought that the Dragon God was trying to recover his losses. Even though the Dragon God has more than a dozen worlds of various grades under him, losing a low-grade world would be a huge loss for him as he could get some units of God Essence along with a few other offerings from the world without doing anything. [I bet 100 units of the God Essence that the human brat willplete the Re: World Assessment] [It looks like Violet God is quite rich to spend 100 units of the God essence. As for me, I bet 25 units of the God Essence that he will pass] [I think he will lose the third round; however, I am nning to take him as my apostle. So, I want to believe him. So, I will put 25 units of the God Essence that he will win]. Soon, almost all the gods ced their bets on Leo because after seeing Leo''s performance until now they were very confident that he would pass the Re: World Assessment without any problem. At the same time, a few gods who were doubtful of Leo''s victory still ced their bets on Leo because they were confident in the god backing Leo. [Good. If he passes the Re: World Assessment, you will all get three times of whatever you ced on him. If he loses, then I can get to keep them all. Okay?] Once the Dragon God heard the bets of the other two gods, he looked at the two gods who didn''t ce any bets before confirming their winning amount. Of course, there were two gods who didn''t join the bet and it was none other than the Masked God and the Massacre God. They were the gods who ascended around the same time as the Dragon God and had learned quite a few things about the Dragon God. They felt something was not right and didn''t want to risk the God Essence on gambling because they were saving their God Essence for their future. [Now, all that''s left is for us to watch the Last round of the Re: World Assessment] With the addition of the bets to the Re: World Assessment, it became more interesting for the gods who ced their bets with the Dragon God. ... On the Dragon World, ''This Lizard b*stard has done something with thest round of the Re: World Assessment that he was so confident in me losing it.'' On the other hand, Leo frowned when he was keeping track of the conversations and thoughts of the Gods. ''Not only that, he was even gambling on my loss. It looks like I have to be very careful.'' Leo suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart and at the same time, he silently thought, ''No matter what, I have to pass the third round of the Re: World Assessment.'' As long as Leo passes the third round of the Re: World Assessment, the Dragon God would not only lose the 1000 units of the God Essence he spent to manipte thest round but he would also lose more than 3000 units of the God Essence to pay the Gods as he promised. Even though Leo didn''t know what is the exact use of the God Essence yet, he knew 3000 + 1000 units of the God Essence was definitely not a small amount of the Dragon God. ''I still have two God Stones left in my storage ring and things beplicated, I should use them to pass this Re: World Assessment.'' Leo clenched his fists and looked at the sky with a serious look. One God stone he received from the [Treasure Land] whereas the second God Stone he received in the Crimson Fire Dragon''s den in the Dragon World. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, six hours passed by as the Ancient Voice resounded from the sky. ***** Gifts = More Bonus Chapters Chapter 423 Chaos Dragon ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' As soon as the Ancient Voice finished its words, a huge ck-coloured dragon appeared in the distance and roared at Leo. ''What? A Legend Grade Dragon?'' Leo raised his brows and silently muttered, ''Is this what the Dragon God has prepared for me?'' Earlier, Leo heard the Dragon God''s thoughts of using 1000 units of the God Essence in manipting thest round of the Re: World Assessment. Moreover, thest round''s target was none other than a Dragon and it was not a normal dragon; instead, it was a Legend Grade Dragon whose chances of appearing in a Grade 1 World Assessment or Re: World Assessment was very low. ''But, I think I should be happy that thest round''s target is a dragon.'' Nevertheless, when Leo thought about the race of his target, Leo could not help but feel it was much better than getting a target from the other races. Even though Leo had other titles that could give him an advantage over a few other races like Snakes, Bulls, and Spiders, his advantage over the Dragon was quite huge. The only reason Leo didn''t lose his hope yet was because of his title, the Supre Special Talent [Supreme Nether Domain] and the Bloodline [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. ''Anyway, to kill it, I need to use the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] because it is the strongest trump card I have with me.'' Before starting the fight with the Chaos Dragon, Leo had already started his nning on how to take it down effectively without severely injuring himself. ''However, I have to figure out its attacks and weaknesses before using it. So, I should use the bloodline as my final move to kill it.'' It was only one step in his n as he continued to n more while waiting for the Chaos Dragon to attack him first. ... [What the¡­.A legend-grade monster?] [What''s more! It''s not a normal monster but a chaos dragon which belongs to the highest ss in the Dragon Race] [There is no way that the human brat is going to defeat that. It would be a great miracle if he could keep his life intact] [It looks like we are going to lose the bet but I really hope that brat survives the Re: World Assessment] [I am hoping the same. He has the potential to join our ranks and as long as he bes my apostle, I will have more power during the Hunts and Missions] . . Except for the Dragon God, the remaining gods hoped Leo would survive the Re: World Assessment. And those who put their bets on Leo didn''t mind Leo losing the round but all they wanted was him to survive. [Not only I will get my world back but I will be killing the murderer of my apostles. Spending 1000 units of the God Essence was totally worth it] [No¡­I even got back those 1000 units of the God Essence too] On the other hand, the Dragon God was the happiest one among the Gods who were watching the Re: World Assessment. Even though he won''t be getting back the Crimson Fire Dragon and the other dragons, the Dragon God felt he was able to recover his losses as much as possible. For him, killing Leo was the most important thing now and it would bepleted soon. [There is no need to worry about it. We still don''t know what kind of trump cards that brat will is hiding under his sleeve] Nevertheless, the Dragon God said that Leo mightplete the Re: World Assessment to the other gods, giving them slight hope. Of course, the other gods have already realized that the Dragon God has sessfully fooled them because he was confident that thest round of the Re: World Assessment would be difficult for Leo toplete. However, no one said anything about it because it would be useless to say anything now because once the gamble is set, they could not go back and have to pay the Dragon God if they lose the bet. .... On the Dragon World, ''Roar'' The Chaos Dragon waited for some time and seeing that Leo was not attacking it, it rushed towards Leo with a roar. ''Equip [Supreme Killer].'' [Supreme Nether Domain - Herculean Domain] As for Leo, he had enough time to think of a basic n on how to defeat the Legend Grade Chaos Dragon. ording to his n, the first n is to fill the rage bar of the [Nether Rage Booster] using the [Herculean Domain] or [Solo Domain]. ''Even though using the [Solo Domain] gives me more advantage, I want to surprise the Chaos Dragon.'' The effects of the [Dragon yer] and the [Herculean Domain] can''t be stacked, therefore, Leo had to equip himself with the [Supreme Killer]. ''Ding, The Chaos Dragon''s battle prowess will be decreased by 40 percent for the next one hour. Note: 30 percent from the [Herculean Domain] and 10 percent from the [Supreme Killer]. [Chaos Spikes] Seeing that Leo was also rushing towards it, the Chaos Dragon became excited and released hundreds of sharp spikes at Leo. [Space Maniption - Teleportation] ''Swoosh'' Leo was ready for the surprise attack and when he saw the spike on the Chaos Dragon stand up, he directly teleported himself. ''Arcane Silver,e out.'' After sessfully dodging the iing spike, Leo summoned his high-level supreme-grade sword and activated its weapon skill. [Weapon Skill - Weapon Eye] ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Leo saw a small patch of light on the Chaos Dragon''s huge body. ''Only one weak spot? It''s alright.'' Even though it was only on the weak spot, Leo heaved a sigh of relief because he was afraid that the [Weapon Eye] might not work on the legend-grade being. ''Wait a second¡­did it just move?'' The moment he saw the weak spot of the Chaos Dragon, Leo started preparing a way to attack that area; however, in the next second, Leo saw the glowing light spot on the Chaos Dragon''s body move. ''Ding, [Weapon Eye] is now on cooldown. ''Damn it¡­the skill is only active for five seconds.'' ******** Raymond_Tague, thanks for the [Dragon] Gift. Chapter 424 Leo Versus Chaos Dragon (1) ''Ding, [Weapon Eye] is now on cooldown. Please wait for five minutes to use the weapon skill again. Suddenly, Leo received a system notification regarding the cooldown of the weapon skill. ording to the skill description, [Weapon Eye] will be activated from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the strength of the opponent. Since Leo''s opponent was a legend Grade being, the [Weapon Eye]sted for five seconds before falling into the cooldown. ''If the weakness is fixed, it would not have been a problem; however, it is moving and I can''t use its weakness as an advantage anymore.'' With Leo''s strength and suppression of the Dragon, killing a level 9 supreme-ranked dragon was very difficult for him. Therefore, he needed a weak point where his sword could pierce through its body to kill it. However, it was moving and Leo had to think about something else now to defeat the Chaos Dragon. ''Roar'' [Chaos Mist] Seeing that Leo kept dodging its attack, the Chaos Dragon became furious and roared at him before releasing a ck-coloured mist from every corner of its body. ''Swiish'' In just a minute, the entire dragon world was filled with a ck mist and since Leo was inside the dragon world, he was also surrounded by it. ''Damn it¡­what is this smoke?'' Leo teleported a few times to escape from the ck mist; however, it was useless because the entire Dragon World was filled with it and even the sky was covered by it. ''Ding, The host is affected by the [Chaos Mist]. The host''s battle prowess will be reduced by 50 percent for the next five minutes. Since there was no ce to escape, Leo could not help but breathe some of it and in the next second, he received a system notification, regarding the ck mist. ''What? 50 percent of my battle prowess?'' When he saw the system notification, Leo was both shocked and at the same time, he became anxious because he would be hopeless if his battle prowess were decreased by 50 percent. ''Even my [Super Vision] is useless in this ck mist.'' Moreover, Leo''s vision waspletely blocked and he could not even see his own hands. ''Damn it¡­I should take the risk now.'' Soon, Leo thought of something and without any hesitation, he activated his hiding trump card. [Space Maniption - Secret Dimensional Space]. ''Swoosh'' ''I hope this Chaos Dragon didn''t have the ability to cut through space.'' As soon as he entered the [Secret Dimensional Space], Leo hoped that he could waste as much time as possible because Leo wanted the 50 percent suppression of his battle prowess to disappear. The thing is, he was already relying on the 40 percent suppression on the Chaos Dragon and now, the Chaos Dragon also suppressed his battle prowess by 10 percent more than what he had. ''Even though I can increase the suppression on the Chaos Dragon to 60 percent, the effective suppression on it will be only 10 percent since my battle prowess is suppressed by 50 percent.'' After thinking for a moment, Leo muttered, ''The only thing I can do right now is waste as much time as possible ande up with a good n to defeat the Chaos Dragon.'' ''Roar'' Even though Leo''s sight was blocked by the Chaos Mist, the Chaos Dragon was able to see everything around it as clear as day; however, it was unable to see Leo in the Chaos Mist which made it roar in anger. ''First, I need to fill my [Nether Rage Booster]. So, hiding for too long is useless.'' Seeing that the Chaos Dragon was unable to find him, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and thought about the rage bar that he had to fill to be a level 9 supreme-ranked being. ''Also, I still have the two legend grade talismans that could be used to attack once and defend myself three times.'' Also, when Leo checked his storage ring, he saw the items he stole from the Dragon God''s remnant spirit through the Golden Furnace. ''I can do it. As long as I am careful, I can easily defeat it with all the trump cards I am holding right now andplete the Re: World Assessment.'' ''Other than these trump cards, I still have a few more trump cards in my hand which I am going to use if these things don''t work out.'' Once Leo checked all the trump cards he could use, Leo became confident in defeating the Chaos Dragon and continued to strengthen his n while hiding inside the [Secret Dimensional Space] ''Roar'' ''Roar'' On the other hand, the Chaos Dragon was going crazy when it was unable to find Leo and suddenly it sucked the entire Chaos Mist in the Dragon World. ''Huh? What is it trying to do now?'' Even though Leo was strengthening his n while hiding inside the [Secret Dimensional Space], he was keeping an eye on the Chaos Dragon to see what secret moves it was going to use. Hence, when he saw the Chaos Dragon was sucking all the Chaos Mist, Leo felt a bad premonition in his head. [Chaos Mist st] ''Boom'' As he expected, in the next second, a huge explosion urred in the Dragon World as a powerful Chaos Wave released by the Chaos Dragon shook the entire world. ''Ding, The spatialws around the [Secret Dimensional Space] were shaken off and the hidden space is corroded by the Chaos Mist. ''Ding, Please leave the [Secret Dimensional Space] now; otherwise, it will bepletely destroyed and the maintenance will take a long time. ''What the¡­'' Leo was shocked by the system notifications and at the same time, he saw the rage bar in front of him increase from 0 percent to 10 percent. ''If an indirect attack was able to increase my rage bar by that much, then what would happen if I receive a direct attack?'' Leo''s heart shook a little as he finally realized that he was greatly underestimating the Legend-Grade Chaos Dragon. Chapter 425 [Bonus Chapter] Leo Versus Chaos Dragon (2) ''Anyway, first, I have to get out of the [Secret Dimensional Space].'' Leo knew that there was no use in bing anxious as it would only affect his thinking. Hence, he stopped worrying about the powerful attacks of the Chaos Dragon and walked out of the [Secret Dimensional Space]. At the same time, Leo was ready to teleport himself as far as possible in case the Chaos Dragon attacked without giving him any time. ''Is it recharging itself?'' However, the Chaos Dragon didn''t attack; instead, it looked at him with bloodshot eyes and remained in its position. [Seal Swallowing Ability - Check] Leo thought about the [Rage Enhancement Seals] on the monster kings that made him furious and checked for a simr seal on the Legend Grade Chaos Dragon. However, it didn''t have any seal whatsoever, making Leo shake his head and waited for the effects of breathing the Chaos Mist to wear off. ''Roar'' After a couple of minutes, the Chaos Dragon seemed like it had recovered its energy and roared at Leo while jumping at him. ''I just need to stall for two more minutes.'' It''s been three minutes since Leo was affected by the Chaos Mist and Leo was keeping track of the time and started dodging the Chaos Dragon''s attacks. ''Aargh'' Of course, Leo was unable to escape some of the attacks whereas he intentionally received a few more attacks because he wanted to increase the rage bar of the [Nether Rage Booster]. p Thankfully, each time he received an attack, the rage bar would be increased by a minimum of 10 percent and there was one attack where he was unable to dodge. For that attack, Leo was injured heavily and received a whopping 30 percent raise and in no time, Leo''s rage bar waspletely filled. He was able to fill the [Nether Rage Booster]pletely in less than one minute. ''Now, all that is left is to wait for the effects to wear off.'' Nevertheless, Leo was not in a rush to use it because he didn''t want his battle prowess to be suppressed while using the [Nether Rage Booster]. Time continued to pass and Leo tried his best in dodging the attacks of the Chaos Dragon because there was no reason for him to intentionally receive those attacks. ''Ding, The effects from the Chaos Mist have disappeared. The host''s battle prowess will no longer be suppressed. [Supreme Nether Domain - Nether Rage Booster] ''I selected [Call of the Lightning] as my main talent.'' As soon as Leo received the system notification regarding the effects of the Chaos Mist, he no longer wasted any time as he activated one of his trump cards. ''Ding, The host''s [Call of the Lightning] will be upgraded to the level 9 supreme grade for the next one minute. Leo didn''t bother to look at the system notifications as he fully focused on the Chaos Dragon. [Arcane Silver] [Weapon Skill - Weapon Eye] His silver sword appeared in his head as he activated the weapon eye to look for the moving weakness of the Chaos Dragon. ''There it is.'' Leo knew that he could not use the [Weapon Eye] for much longer. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and directly went for the strongest attack he could use in his current state. [Call of the Lightning - Lightning of the Obliteration] ''Kackle'' ''Swoosh'' A single powerful purple-coloured lightning strike descended from the sky as Leo guided it towards the slowly-moving weakness of the Chaos Dragon. ''Boom'' ''Roar'' The moment the purple-coloured lightning strike fell on the weakness, there was a huge explosion followed by a loud and painful dragon roar that resounded in the entire Dragon World. [Did he defeat it?] [I don''t think so. Even though he was able to boost his strength to level 9 supreme rank, it is not easy to defeat a legend-grade dragon] . . The on-looking gods were excited for a moment; however, in the next second, they shook their heads in disappointment as though they saw something through the smoke. ''It looks like it is not enough.'' Even though Leo was unable to see through the smoke, he used the conversation between the Gods to his advantage and learned that the Chaos Dragon was not injured much. ''Let''s deal as much damage as possible.'' Nevertheless, Leo didn''t bother to give any chance for the Chaos Dragon to recover its strength as he used the basic attacks of the [Call of the Lightning]. [Call of the Lightning - Lightning Rush] Dozens of lightning strikes descended from the sky andnded on the Chaos Dragon that was in the smoke. However,pared to the [Lightning of the Obliteration], these lightning strikes were not very powerful. ''Even though I have to wait for another five minutes to use the [Weapon Eyes], I can use the mass destruction attacks.'' This was the thought in Leo''s mind as he blindly attacked the Chaos Dragon with so many lightning strikes. Of course, Leo knew it would not kill the Chaos Dragon, however, he was hoping that one or two lightning strikes might be able tond on the weakness of the Chaos Dragon and create some damage. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] is empty. Please fill it out again to boost your strength. Soon, one minute passed by as his [Nether Rage Booster] became empty. "Roar" The moment the lightning strikes stoppednding on the Chaos Dragon, it released a furious roar and rushed towards Leo. [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] While it was rushing toward Leo, the Chaos Dragon used its special talent which increased the size of the dragon by two times and it turned into a purple-colour as a purple-coloured mist was emitted by its body. ''Come'' Even though it waspletely out of Leo''s expectations to see a more powerful and ferocious dragone out of the smoke, Leo was clear on what he had to do now. [Legend Grade Defensive Talisman, activate] A golden-coloured talisman appeared in Leo''s hand, followed by a golden barrier around him. ''I have to stall for time. As long as I stall for some time, I am going to win the fight.'' Suddenly, Leo realized something when he heard the conversations of the Gods. Chapter 426 Leo Versus Chaos Dragon (3) [It looks like the Chaos Dragon has taken quite a damage in the earlier attack] [Yeah. I think that human''s powerful lightning strikended on the weakness of the Chaos Dragon] [Otherwise, there is no way that the Chaos Dragon would use its special talent so soon in a fight] . . The Gods were surprised to see the Chaos Dragon use the [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] so soon in the fight with Leo and guessed Leo''s attack might have made the Chaos Drago furious. [Yes. It has taken quite a lot of damage. However, even if he used the lightning strike with double power, it is not enough to kill the Chaos Dragon.] Even the Dragon God was surprised by Leo''s power [Lightning of the Obliteration]; however, seeing that the Chaos Dragon was only injured partially, he was no longer worried and replied to the other gods. ''But using that attack, that human brat only sped up his death.'' After replying to the other gods, the Dragon God silently thought in his head as he was very satisfied that Leo was going to die sooner. In some unknown realm, A young man that looked simr to the remnant spirit of the Dragon God was watching the other gods through the eyes of his remnant spirit and silently muttered to himself. ''Once this is over, I have to enter the secluded cultivation to increase my number of remnant spirits. I have to gain as many permanent apostles as possible for the next [Battle of Ascension].'' Since the Dragon God has lost one remnant spirit, he decided to create more and speed up the process of recruiting his apostles. [Yeah. That human brat needs to use more powerful attacks to the Chaos Dragon] [Dragon God, do you still ept the bet?] Suddenly, the Masked God and the Massacre God realized something and asked the Dragon God. [Since we are in the middle of the battle and the human brat seems to be losing, you can only ce bets on him if you want] The Dragon God frowned when he heard the two gods'' words and replied to him. [Of course. We will be cing our bets on the human brat] [Same here; however, before that tell us how much we will get if that human wins the Re: World Assessment?] ''Huh? What the hell! Why are these two b*stards cing bets on that human?'' The Dragon God frowned and looked at the fight between the human and the Chaos Dragon before thinking, ''Maybe they want to test their luck. So be it. There is no way that human willplete the Re: World Assessment, so why should I stop them from giving me free God Essence?'' With that thought in mind, the Dragon God nodded his head and said, [10 times. If that brat wins the Re: World Assessment, then I will give you 10 times what you ce.] While saying that, the Dragon God looked at the other gods trying to entice them to ce more bets on Leo as he waited for the Massacre God and the Masked God to ce their bets. [I will put 1000 units of the God Essence] p [Even though I am not as rich as the Massacre God, I was able to save some units of the God Essence. I will ce all my savings which is 500 units of the God Essence] Soon, the bets between the remnant spirits were ced and it was reflected in the memory of the main bodies of these gods. [What? Are they crazy?] [The Massacre God and the Masked God are always like that. I don''t know what they were trying to prove by cing so many units of the God Essence?] [If only the main body didn''t restrict the betting amount, I would have ced another 100 units of the God Essence] [Same here] . . All gods were shocked at the betting amount of the Masked God and the Massacre God. Even though they were also tempted to ce the bets on Leo, they didn''t want to take any risk as they already spent some units of the God Essence in betting. [The bets have been ced and after the event, the main bodies will automatically exchange the amount] The Dragon God nodded his head with a slight smile; however, inside his heart, he was excited to get another 1500 units of the God Essence. ''I can remove some restrictions on this remnant spirit after today as it helped me earn so many units of the God Essence.'' The main body''s consciousness of the Dragon God silently thought in his head before stopping bothering to possess his remnant spirit. ¡­. On the Dragon World, [Masked God believes that the Chaos Dragon will weaken by at least 50 percent after its special talent [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] enters into cooldown] [Massacre God believes the same and ces 1000 units of the God Essence on your win] ''This is my chance. I have to stall for some time.'' When he heard the thoughts of the Masked God and the Massacre God, Leo''s confidence in killing the Chaos Dragon increased to the next level. ''Roar'' The Chaos Dragon roared and two ck-coloured vines came out of the ground and wrapped around Leo''s leg. ''I need to continue to dodge the attacks.'' Leo was a little slow to react to those chaos vines and was caught by them; however, he used his teleportation. ''Ding, The host is caught by the enemy. Please free yourself before using the [Space Maniption] talent to escape from the Chaos Dragon ''As I expected.'' Leo shook his head and without any time, he used the Legend-Grade Defensive Talisman that blocked the Chaos Dragon''s attack. ''Boom'' With a huge explosion, the Chaos Dragon that was in an enraged state was pushed back by at least 100 meters. ''Ding, The Legend Grade Defensive Talisman stopped one attack from the Legend Grade Chaos Dragon. ''Ding, Two more uses left. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] increased by 50 percent. ''What the¡­'' Chapter 427 Leo Versus Chaos Dragon (4) ''What the¡­'' The first two system notifications didn''t surprise Leo; however, when he saw thest system notification, Leo was shocked and felt, ''If I didn''t use the talisman in time, I would have¡­'' Leo didn''tplete his sentence as he knew what was the oue if he hadn''t activated the talisman in time. ''50 percent increase in the [Nether Rage Booster]?'' At the same time, Leo felt it was an opportunity for him to stall for more time. ''If I can''t break free from them, I will let the Chaos Dragon attack me.'' Leo tried to cut the Chaos Vines that caught him; however, they were no use. Nevertheless, Leo stopped bothering them and decided to let the Chaos Dragon do as it wished. ''I still have two uses left for the defensive talisman and one use for the attack-type talisman.'' With that thought in mind, Leo decided to wait for the Chaos Dragon to attack him again. ''Swoosh'' On the other hand, the Chaos Dragon shook its head in confusion as it didn''t understand why it was unable to attack the human. ''Roar'' Nevertheless, it only made it even more furious and roared at him. [Netherworld''s Chaos Energy Beam] Even the Chaos Dragon knew that its special talent [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] could be used for a limited time. Therefore, it didn''t waste any time and used its second special talent. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a ckish purple-coloured light beam came out of the Chaos Dragon and its target was none other than Leo. [Defensive Talisman, activate] Even though Leo wanted to use these defensive talismans and the attack talismans when he ventures into the grade 2 or grade 3 worlds in the future, he should be alive for that to happen. Moreover, by sessfullypleting the Re: World Assessment, not only will he be the Emperor of the Grade 1 world but he would receive generous rewards from some unknown and mysterious force, depending on his performance. Therefore, he was not hesitating in using all his trump cards in surviving against the Chaos Dragon. ''Boom'' The Chaos Energy Beam was much more powerful than the previous energy beams; however, the Golden Barrier appeared once again and sessfully stopped it without any problem. ''Ding, One use of the Defensive Talisman is left. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] is full. ''Cough'' Along with the system notifications, Leo unconsciously stepped back as he coughed a mouthful of blood. ''Damn it¡­even with the barrier, it was able to injure me.'' Leo cursed it as the Chaos Dragon''s attacks were bing more and more powerful with time, making Leo a little anxious. "Now, it is time to break free from these vines." Even though there was still one more use left for the legend-grade defensive talisman, Leo didn''t use it; instead, he used something else. ''[Nether Rage Booster], activate.'' Soon, Leo''s strength boosted to the level 9 supreme rank and just like always, he chose his special talent [Call of the Lightning] to increase his hero strength. ''Ding, The host''s special talent [Call of the Lightning] will be temporarily upgraded to level 9 supreme rank for one minute. ''sh'' Leo didn''t look at the system notification; instead, he shed at the two chaos vines that were wrapping around him. Since his strength was boosted to the level 9 supreme rank, Leo didn''t have any problem cutting through the chaos vines with the help of the high-level Supreme-Grade sword. [Golden Wyvern Wings - Golden Flight] [Space Maniption - Teleportation] [Call of the Lightning - Lightning Rush] Soon, Leo used a series of talents and appeared on the Chaos Dragon''s back and activated the basic effect of the [Call of the Lightning]. ''Swiish'' ''Boom'' In the next second, one lightning sh after another descended onto the Chaos Dragon, covering its entire body. ''I just want to injure it as much as possible before I can use the [Weapon Eye] again.'' There was still a cooldown of 40 seconds for the [Weapon Eyes]. Therefore, Leo decided to injure it as much as possible. Initially, Leo thought that he should wait for the Chaos Dragon''s special talent [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] to enter a cooldown. However, after experiencing how powerful the Chaos Dragon''s attacks and how his [Nether Rage Booster] got filled in just three attacks, Leo decided to use it and save his defensive talisman forter use. ''For the next attack, I doubt even the Legend-Grade Defensive Talisman would be useful.'' Earlier, Leo was pushed back and even coughed a mouthful of blood. Therefore, Leo felt it would be useless to do nothing and topletely rely on the golden barrier. ''Roar'' However, the lightning strikes werepletely useless as they didn''t even leave behind a single scratch on the scales of the Chaos Dragon. [Teleportation] [Teleportation] . . ''It is better to continuously teleport until I can use the [Weapon Eye].'' Leo was waiting for the [Weapon Eye] toe out of the reset because his [Lightning of the Obliteration] is a single target attack. In Leo''s view, the most effective way to injure the Chaos Dragon is to use that special attack on the weakness of the Chaos Dragon. ''Roar'' Since Leo was teleporting at an incredible speed, the Chaos Dragon was unable to attack or capture him. The only thing it could do was to roar at the sky. ''Swoosh'' ''Damn it¡­using the teleportation so many times in a row is consuming so much of my energy.'' Even though Leo''s method to escape from the Chaos Dragon was working, it was costing him too much energy. Nevertheless, Leo felt it was worth it because all he needed to was stall for half a minute. ¡­ Half a minuteter, ''Ding, The weapon skill [Weapon Eye] hase out of the cooldown. The host can use it. Somehow, Leo was able to dodge the Chaos Dragon''s attacks for half a minute and finally received the notification regarding the [Weapon Eye]. "I thought to kill you after your special talent enters a cooldown; however, I don''t think it is necessary." Suddenly, Leo revealed an evil smile on his face as he muttered to himself. ''Time to put an end to the Chaos Dragon'' Chapter 428 [Bonus Chapter] Killing The Chaos Dragon ''Time to put an end to the Chaos Dragon.'' While dodging the Chaos Dragon''s attacks using his [Space Maniption], Leo modified his initial n and came up with a solid n. Even though he was not sure whether it would work or not, Leo felt the chances of it working were high. Therefore, Leo didn''t hesitate any more in going all out. [Weapon Skill - Weapon Eye] First, Leo activated the weapon skill to find the weakness of the Chaos Dragon. [Supreme Nether Domain - Solo Domain] Next, it was the change of the Nether Domain. His [Herculean Domain] was more useful against arge group of enemies; however, [Solo Domain] was more useful against a single target. ''Ding, The host has activated the [Solo Domain]. There is only one target in the host''s surroundings. ''Ding, The Chaos Dragon''s battle prowess will be decreased by 50 percent. Soon, the system notifications rang in Leo''s head and the suppression of the Chaos Dragon''s battle prowess increased from 40 percent to 60 percent. (+10 from the [Supreme Killer] title.) ''Now, it is time to attack.'' Since Leo had finished his preparations, it was finally time for him to attack. [Call of the Lightning - Lightning of the Obliteration] The next step was to use the special effect of the [Call of the Lightning] and soon, a powerful purple-colour lightning strike descended from the sky andnded exactly on the glowing spot of the Chaos Dragon. ''Roar'' Everything happened so fast that the Chaos Dragon didn''t have enough time to dodge the iing lightning strike. p The moment the lightning strikended on the Chaos Dragon, it could not help but release a painful roar. ''This won''t be enough.'' Leo had already used this attack earlier on the Chaos Dragon; however, he was injured moderately and recovered in no time. Moreover, right now, the Chaos Dragon was using a special talent [Rage of the Chaotic Dragon] which increased its battle prowess. Hence, Leo didn''t want to give any time for the Chaos Dragon to recover from the injury received from the [Lightning of the Obliteration] and at the same time, he wanted to use that chance to make the injuries of the Chaos Dragon even worse. ''So what if you use a special talent to increase your battle prowess? I am going to kill you today at any cost.'' Since it was a battle where either Leo or the Chaos Dragon had to die, Leo didn''t bother to think about the Chaos Dragon and decided to go all out against it. [Legend-Grade Attack Talisman] That''s right! Leo decided to use the attacking talisman he received from the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. ''Perr'' [Descent of the Dragon God] As soon as Leo tore the legend-grade attack talisman, the projection of the dragon god''s remnant spirit appeared in front of Leo. ''What? Descent of the Dragon God?'' Previously, Leo didn''t know that by crushing the Attack talisman, the dragon''s god''s projection would appear in front of him. So, he was shocked and soon, he revealed an excited smile, ''I wonder what kind of expression the Dragon God was having on his face.'' Leo knew that among the gods who were watching his fight with the Chaos Dragon, only the Dragon God wanted him to lose and he was confident in Leo''s death. However, what kind of expression he would have after seeing his own projection appear in front of Leo to help him defeat the Chaos Dragon? [What the hell? How did he get my defensive and attacking talismans?] The Dragon God was already frustrated when he saw Leo use the defensive barrier to block the Chaos Dragon''s attack; however, when he saw Leo even use the attack-type talisman, the Dragon God gritted his teeth. [Dragon God, I didn''t expect he got your talismans] [Are you secretly nning to take him as your apostle or what?] [You already know the Dragon God won''t tell anyone to go after messing with him or his people. I think that humans got those items after killing the Dragon God''s apsotle] A few gods are mistaken that the Dragon God was helping Leo; however, the Masked God and the Massacre God shook their heads and changed their views. [This brat¡­] The Dragon God, who was very confident in Leo''s defeat became anxious and felt a bad premonition in his heart. The bad premonition was that Leo would be winning against the Chaos Dragon and sessfully taking over the Grade 1 Dragon World. However, there was nothing the Dragon God could do now other than hoping his projection to use a weak attack against the Chaos Dragon. [Unlike that b*stard, this b*stard is very serious about rules and won''t let me mess with it] The Dragon God already used a chance to mess with the Re: World Assessment by sending a legend-grade Chaos Dragon in the most legal way and if he messed up the Re: World Assessment, he would receive some serious punishment. ¡­. On the Dragon World, [Legend Grade - Ultimate Dragon st] In front of the Dragon God''s projection, a huge golden-coloured energy ball appeared and started growing more and more powerful with each passing second. ''Roar'' The Chaos Dragon was yet to recover from the injury created by the Lightning of the Obliteration; however, it didn''t have any time for it now because it sensed danger from the golden-coloured energy ball. Without wasting any time, the Chaos Dragon tried to move away as far as possible from the projection because it knew that it was a powerful attack that could kill it. ''Swoosh'' However, the projection of the Dragon God didn''t bother about the Chaos Dragon that was flying away; instead, he focused on creating a huge golden-coloured ball before releasing it. The golden-coloured energy ball was locked onto the Chaos Dragon and in just a few seconds, it reached the Chaos Dragon. ''Boom'' The moment the golden-coloured ball touched the Chaos Dragon, there was a huge explosion which even caused Leo who was more than a hundred kilometers away from the explosion to step back from the impact. Chapter 429 Killing The Chaos Dragon (2) ''Swiish'' As soon as the Projection of the Dragon God used his attack, it disappeared without a trace. ''That attack¡­it is so powerful.'' After feeling the impact of the attack on him, Leo felt it was the second strongest attack he had seen so far after the Dragon God''s [Dragon Missiles]. ''Ding, The host''s [Nether Rage Booster] is empty. Please fill it out again to use it. Nevertheless, Leo still didn''t get the system notification regarding the death of the Chaos Dragon; instead, he got the system notification regardingpleting one minute of his Rage Booster. ''Even if that earlier attack didn''t kill the Chaos Dragon, I hope it heavily injured it.'' Leo silently hoped in his head. However, he didn''t dare to move towards the Chaos Dragon because he was afraid of the sudden attacks from the Chaos Dragon in the smoke. Since Leo''s temporary boost had disappeared, he was not in a hurry to attack the Chaos dragon because his attacks would be useless as of now. ''Once I see its condition, I will use myst trump card.'' With that thought in mind, Leo was waiting for the smoke to settle down so that he could have a clear idea of what he should do next. ''Roar'' After a minute, the smoke settled down and a vengeful roar came from the Chaos Dragon whose entire body had already lost most of its scales and then there was a huge injury on its back where the attack of the Dragon God''s projection hadnded. ''It looks like the fight will be over soon.'' When he saw the appearance of the Chaos Dragon, Leo could not help but reveal an evil smile. Even though he was surprised that the Chaos Dragon was still able to move after getting hit by a powerful attack, Leo was excited because he was fully confident in killing it. "You¡­brat¡­I¡­am¡­going¡­to¡­kill¡­you." For the first time, the Chaos Dragon spoke to Leo before pping its wings and rushing towards Leo. However, its flying speed was slowpared to before and looked much weaker than when it activated its special talent [Rage of the Chaos Dragon]. "The fight is over¡­there is no need to struggle anymore." On the other hand, Leo didn''t move from his ce as he waited for the Chaos Dragon toe close to him, [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] The moment the Chaos Dragon came close to Leo, Leo didn''t waste any time in using his final trump card. ''Ding, The host has activated the [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline]. ''Ding, For the next one minute, all his normal and special talents will be upgraded to peak supreme grade. As usual, Leo received the system notifications regarding his bloodline activation. ¡­. [What? He has the bloodline of the Fake Immortal God?] [Don''t tell me he is the apsotle of the Fake Immortal God] [Wait a second¡­Isn''t Fake Immortal God famous for not having a single apostle? Did he finally ept an apostle?] [From the looks of it, he must have taken in that brat] [No. I don''t think Fake Immortal God has be his sponsored god yet. He must have received that bloodline in one of the [Treasure Lands] in that man''s world] The Dragon God also descended onto Leo''s world. So, he knew there was a drop of the bloodlines of all the gods that descended onto that world to help the natives of that world. Hence, he exined that Fake Immortal God has taken in Leo as his apsotle. [It might be true; however, that doesn''t change the fact that this human has a sponsored god and we need to figure it out] The remaining gods didn''t think too much about it as they have only two goals. One, they have to find out what type of apsotle he had be to a God and who that God is. Two, they have to convince him to be their apostle. .... [Golden Wyvern Wings - de Wings] [Earth Maniption - Quicksand] [Mighty Combustion - Supreme Firestorm] . . [Water Maniption - Water Missiles] [Call of the Lightning - Lightning Of the Obliteration] Leo started using one special talent after another, trying to kill the Chaos Dragon and ended his attacks with his most powerful attack [Lightning of the Obliteration]. Moreover, before that, he used a water-type attack to create even more damage to the Chaos Dragon. ''Roar'' The Chaos Dragon had already lost his entire energy after receiving the Dragon God''s [Dragon st]. Hence, other than receiving Leo''s attacks and roaring in pain, there was nothing the Chaos Dragon could do. ''Roar'' ''Thud'' Soon, the Chaos Dragon released one final roar before falling to the ground. ¡­. ''Ding, The host has sessfully killed a level 1 Legend Grade Chaos Dragon. ''Ding, The host has gained One [Legend Promote Point], One million [Supreme Promote Points] and a hundred million [Mortal Promote Points]. ''Ding, Since it was the first time the host has killed a Legend Grade Beast, the host will be rewarded with a title [Legendary Killer] ''Ding, The host already has a lesser version of the [Legendary Killer] title. Integrating that [Supreme Killer] into the [Legendary Killer]. . . . ''Ding, The host''s [Fake Immortal God''s Bloodline] is deactivated. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo''s head; however, Leo''s eyes were fully focused on the huge corpse of the Chaos Dragon as he still could not believe that he killed a legend-grade beast. Moreover, it was not a normal beast but a Dragon. ''A new type of [Promote Point]? One million and one hundred million [Supreme Promote Points] and the [Mortal Promote Points].'' Nevertheless, Leo soon came out of his daze and took a quick look at the series of system notifications. He was surprised with the huge amount of the [Promote Points] and excited because he could use them to increase the strength of his army. ''New title? Let''s check it.'' Next, Leo''s eyes fell on his new title and wanted to check it out; however, before he could check it out, he received a system notification and at the same time, the Ancient Voice''s announcement of his victory. Chapter 430 End Of The Re: World Assessment [H-he did it. He killed the Legend Grade Chaos Dragon] [This brat¡­I want him as my permanent apsotle and I am willing to spend all my savings on him] [I knew it. I knew it] Except for the Dragon God, the remaining gods were excited when they saw the Chaos Dragon had fallen to the ground and stopped breathing. [Dragon God, when are you going to pay us the god essence we won through the betting?] [That''s right! I will get 300 units of the God Essence] [I should have put in more units of the God Essence but my main body has limited the betting amount to 50 units of the God Essence. He has so much trust in me¡­scoffs] [Inform the main body to pay my 10000 units of the God Essence within one month] [Don''t forget my 5000 units of the God Essence] As most of the gods were excited about getting 200 and 300 units of the God Essence, the Masked God and the Massacre God calmly said their winning amount and set a deadline for the remnant spirit of the Dragon God. [Even if you tear me open, you can''t find that many units of the God Essence on me] The remnant spirit of the Dragon God had an ugly look on his face as he replied, [I have already informed the main body about your winning amount. Your main bodies will receive them in a month or two] ''It looks like there will be no rewards for me.'' The Dragon God''s remnant spirit could not help but look at Leo with full hatred. Even though the Dragon God took control of his body when he was epting the huge betting amounts from the Masked God and the Massacre God, the Main Body of the Dragon God would take his anger on him for losing more than 15000 units of the God Essence. 15000 units of the God Essence was not a small number even for some old gods, not to mention these gods who only ascended to Godhood less than a century back. In the end, both the main body and the remnant spirit of the Dragon God''s anger was fully set on Leo for making him suffer more and more losses. .... ''You should be ready to suffer losses when you are greedy.'' On the other hand, Leo shook his head and decided to check the effects of the [Legendary Killer]. ''Ding, The hatching time for the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg has been reduced to one hour after killing the Chaos Dragon. Note: One hour is the default time and it won''t be decreased any further. ''Ding, Please find another Dragon Egg to use the [Dragon Egg Incubator]. The Ancient Voice who was in charge of hosting the Re: World Assessment congratted Leo for sessfully passing the world assessment and asked him to wait for his rewards. At the same time, he received the system notification regarding the Ancient Primordial Dragon God''s egg, making Leo extremely excited. Also, he could not wait to officially be the Emperor of the World and learn more about the world and the grades. ''Even though the system has exined the basic things about the worlds and their grades, I am sure that the Ancient Voice would tell some advanced things.'' At least that''s what Leo hoped and waited for the rewards while thinking about his trip to this Dragon World. ''The rewards for entering this Grade 1 Dragon World are so generous andpletely out of my expectations.'' Leo was only hoping to kill as many dragons as possible to get as many [Supreme Promote Points] as possible when he was nning to enter the Grade 1 Dragon World. However, what he didn''t expect was that the Dragon God was nurturing this world very well that there were millions of supreme-ranked dragons which gave him nearly one billion [Supreme Promote Points] That''s not the end of it, he gained new titles, talent awakening stones that could be transferred to his family and friends, a god stone, dozens of Fragments of the God Stones and most importantly, this entire Dragon World itself became his. ''Moreover, there are still rewards for sessfullypleting the Re: World Assessment.'' Thinking of the Ancient Voice''s announcement regarding the rewards, Leo could not help but look forward to it. ''Also, I still have that Golden Peacock''s feather.'' When he remembered the Golden Peacock''s feather, Leo hurriedly took it out and shouted out, "I want to use this to increase my rewards." ording to the description of that Golden Peacock''s feather, his rewards from the World Assessment would be increased by a factor ranging from 2 to 10. [Holy¡­how did a supreme-ranked brat get his hands on that item?] All Gods were surprised when they saw the shining Golden-coloured Peacock''s feather in Leo''s hand. [Damn that b*stard. I said not to keep such powerful items in the [Treasure Land]] However, the Dragon God could guess how Leo was able to get his hands on the feather and could not help but curse the Abyssal Demon God. The Ancient Voice resounded in the Dragon World and asked Leo whether he was sure about using that item. Even though the Golden Peacock''s feather could increase the rewards from the World Assessment, using it for the grade 1 world assessment would be wasting its true value. If Leo could use these items for passing the Grade 5 world assessment, he would have an easy time ascending to Godhood. Nevertheless, in the end, the decision was left to Leo because he was the owner of the item and the one who passed the Re: World Assessment. Chapter 431 Lets Negotiate In Your Grade 1 Worlds "I want to use it." Leo had already thought about it when he received the Golden Peacock''s feather from the Abyssal Demon God. For Leo,pared to the high-level rewards he would get in the future, Leo wanted as many resources as possible right now because he was nning to create a strong and powerful army that stays loyal to him. Moreover, Leo was not nning to ept any Gods as his sponsered gods which means, he had to work hard on his own to get the resources unlike the other beings who were bing the apostles to the Gods. ''Even though everything was going smoothly for me, the real story begins right now as I will be targeted by the gods.'' It wasmon knowledge that if he didn''t be an apostle of a god, the remaining gods would either make him their apsotle or kill him without any hesitation. Of course, they won''t be descended themselves; instead, they would send their apostles. ''Since they already witnessed my ability to kill the level 1 legend grade Chaos Dragon, they would send powerful apostles toe after me.'' ''Moreover, it would be useless if I can''t survive that long. So, it is better to use everything I can now rather than waiting for the future.'' Leo knew that from here on, things would be difficult for him and therefore, the only way for him to ovee those difficulties was by getting as many valuable things as possible to increase his strength or increase his chances for survival. The Ancient Voice didn''t bother to persuade Leo and replied to Leo. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the Ancient Voice finished its reply, the Golden Peacock''s feather in Leo''s hand disappeared without a trace. ''Five times? No bad'' Leo was not expecting the Ancient Voice to exin that; however, when he heard that, Leo nodded his head with a slight smile. Even though the highest factor that would be triggered by using the Golden Peacock''s feather was 10, Leo was not disappointed for getting only 5. Instead, he was content with that and continued waiting for the rewards under the shocked looks of the Gods. [Human, shall we discuss the negotiations now?] Soon, except for the Dragon God, the remaining Gods silently asked Leo. They could not wait to make Leo their apostle. So, they didn''t waste any time and wanted to start discussing things with Leo before the other gods convinced him. "There is no need to worry about me epting the offer of one god without listening to the other gods'' offer." On the other hand, Leo thought about it for a moment before replying to all gods at once, "I will give all the gods a chance to convince me to be your apostle. On;y after listening to everyone''s offer, I will select one god." [...] All the gods remained silent for a moment before looking at each and nodded their heads before waiting for Leo to im his rewards first before negotiating with him. "By the way, give me the world tickets to the grade 1 worlds that you are incharge of. I will personallye and listen to your offers." After thinking for a moment, Leo realized another great n where he could not only swallow the remnant spirits of these gods but at the same time, he could also take full control of their grade 1 worlds. Even though there would be a Re: World Assessment for every grade 1 world emperor he killed, Leo''s confidence in clearing the Grade 1 Re: World Assessments had increased to a great level. ''I don''t know whether I can be the Emperor for multiple worlds; however, the possibility of bing the Emperor for the multiple worlds is very high.'' Leo silently muttered to himself as he waited for a reply from the gods and continued thinking, ''Even if it was not possible, I will get a lot of rewards frompleting the Re: World Assessment and a lot of Talent Awakening Crystals along with [Supreme Promote Points].'' Since it is a world where either you kill or get killed, Leo wants to be the one to kill first and be as powerful as possible to the point where he doesn''t have to y along with the gods who were bored. [Huh? Grade 1 World Tickets?] On the other hand, all Gods raised their brows when they heard Leo''s words and looked at each other. Even though they didn''t speak anything, Gods knew what the other Gods were thinking in their heads. [I don''t have any Grade 1 Worlds under me. The lowest graded world under me is a Grade 3] [I also don''t have any Grade 1 Worlds; however, unlike someone, I can give you a world ticket to the Grade 2 world] [I swear that no harm wille to you for entering my grade 3 world. Here is the ticket] After witnessing Leo''s battle prowess in the Re: World Assessment, which God would dare to give a world ticket to their Grade 1 worlds? They used the excuse of not having any grade 1 and grade 2 worlds under them to say they would give him world tickets to the grade 3 worlds. That''s right! Except for the Massacre God, who gave a world ticket to the grade 2 world, the remaining gods gave the world tickets to their grade 3 worlds. Because they were afraid that Leo might create the same massacre even in the grade 2 world. Therefore, they didn''t want to take any risk and agreed to send grade 3 world tickets to Leo. ''It looks like I have sacred them a lot.'' Leo silently muttered to himself and nodded his head, "It''s alright, send them to my storage ring." Chapter 432 [Heavenly Rewarding Realm] Just as Leo replied to the Gods to send them the world tickets to their worlds, the Ancient Voice resounded in the Dragon World. [Select some nice rewards] [You don''t have to worry and take your own time to select the rewards] . . While sending the world tickets to their worlds, Gods gave a few tips to Leo in selecting the rewards in the special realm. "Sure¡­sure." Leo nodded his head while remembering those tips and decided to use them in the special realm if necessary. ''Ding, The host has received 9 grade 3 specific world tickets. ''Ding, The host received one grade 2 specific world ticket. Soon, Leo saw 10 world tickets in his storage ring which made him reveal a slight smile and shake his head. ''Swoosh'' After exactly one minute, the Ancient Voice resounded from the sky and in the next second, Leo disappeared from the world without any trace. ..... In a mysterious realm, This realm was mostly filled with mist and those who entered it could only see within a radius of 10 meters. This mist seemed magical and would give an impression to anyone who entered this realm that it was a heavenly realm. ''Swiish'' In this mysterious yet peaceful realm, Leo appeared out of nowhere and looked around with a curious look on his face. ''Ding, The host has entered a Heavenly Rewarding Realm. All his injuries, exhaustion and cooldown will reset. ''Is this simr to the Heavenly Fighting Arena?'' The first thing Leo thought when he saw the system notification was that this realm was simr to the [Heavenly Fighting Arena] that the Unknown God had teleported him and Morgan. As Leo was curiously checking his barely visible surroundings, Leo saw the mist turn into a humanoid figure and after that, he heard the familiar voice of the Ancient Being that was hosting the Re: World Assessment. The mist human exined to Leo about the rewards from the first round of the Re: World Assessment and in the next second, three items appeared in front of Leo. ''Another Golden Peacock''s feather?'' Among the three items, one of the items caught Leo''s attention as he already decided which item to select with a single nce. However, he was not in a hurry to select it because ording to the gods, there will be an infinite time in selecting the rewards. ''Just in case, I will check the information on the other two items.'' With that thought in mind, Leo asked the Ancient Voice to give the information on the two other items hovering in front of him. The Ancient Voice exined how to ess the information of the items hovering in front of him. ''Oh'' Leo nodded his head and touched one of the items that looked like a treasure chest. ''Ding, Item Name: Treasure Chest. Item Grade: Gold Information: A treasure chest that contains items like Supreme Hero Coins, Talent Awakening Crystals, Pills, Potions, Eggs and Cubs of supreme grade, Fragments of the Gods and a very small chance of God Stones. Note: The rarer the eggs, the cubs, and the Talent Awakening Crystals, the lower their chances of appearance. ''Interesting but still I prefer the Golden Peacock Feather.'' After seeing what type of items would be inside the Golden Treasure Chest, Leo felt it was a good item; however, it paled inparison to the Golden Peacock Feather. Therefore, he officially eliminated the Treasure Chest and checked the information on the third item. It was a golden-coloured card with an icon of three doors aligned one after another. The door in the middle was transparent and an arrow was piercing through it. ''Ding, Item Name: Assessment Skip Card. Item Grade: Legend (Consumable). Use: The owner of this card can skip either two Grade 1 world assessments or one Grade 2 World Assessment. Note: No rewards would be given for the skipped world assessment. Soon, the information about the card appeared in Leo''s head; however, the system projected that data on the holographic screen for Leo to have an easy understanding. ''Huh? I can skip the World Assessments?'' Leo was surprised after learning about the use of the card. ''If it was before, I would have selected it without any hesitation; however, after I sessfullypleted my Re: World Assessment, I don''t want to skip any world assessments from now on.'' For Leo, Grade 1 World Assessments won''t be a problem anymore and he knew that this card could help him with the Grade 2 World Assessment also. However, after seeing how much he would be gained from participating in the World Assessments and sessfullypleting them, Leo didn''t have any ns on skipping any World Assessments from now on. ''Also, if I skip a Grade 2 World Assessment, it would be very difficult for the Grade 3 World Assessment. The more I and the other natives of the world fight, the higher our chances for future world assessments will be.'' With that thought in mind, Leo didn''t think much about the ''Assessment Skip Card'' and touched the Golden Peacock Feather in the center. ''Ding, Item Name: Reward Booster. Item Grade: Legend. Information: The rewards from the World Assessment or any event that was hosted by the Ancient Gods will be boosted between 2 to 20 times. ''What? 2 to 20 times?'' Leo was shocked when he read the information about the Golden Peacock Feather before revealing an excited smile. Chapter 433 Yin Yang Dragon Eggs The Golden Peacock''s Feather in front of Leo looked exactly the same as the one who Leo used earlier; however,pared to that, this new Golden Peacock''s Feather multiplies the rewards to as high as 20 times. ''It is the most useful item for me in the future.'' Even though Leo didn''t hesitate to use the Golden Peacock''s Feather now, it had decided to use the second Golden Peacock''s Feather for the future which would be afterpleting the Grade 2 World Assessment. ''Since I am already boosting my rewards by five times for the Grade 1 Re: World Assessment, there is no need to waste the Golden Peacock''s Feather on the Grade 1 World Assessment or the Grade 1 Re: World Assessment.'' Leo felt he would get the necessary items to build his army and increase his strength from the remaining rounds'' rewards. "I will be taking this." As soon as he said that, Leo lightly picked it and stored it in the storage ring. ''Swiish'' As for the remaining two items, they disappeared into thin air. ''Swoosh'' The Ancient Voice didn''t wait for Leo''s reply or anything as another three items appeared in the ce where the previous three items appeared. Unlike the first round''s rewards, Leo could pick two items which was a pleasant surprise for Leo. However, when he heard there was even a special reward, Leo became excited as he hurriedly checked the information on the three items that appeared in front of him. Also, Leo was surprised to hear theughter of this Ancient Being because it was the first time he heard since he started giving out the announcements of the Re: World Assessments. ''Ding, Item Name: Treasure Chest. Item Grade: tinum. Information: This treasure chest holds items like Fragments of the God Stones, God Stones, Special talent awakening crystals, a small chance of super special talent awakening crystals and some misceneous items. Note: The more valuable the items are, the lower their chances of appearance. ''tinum Chest? God Stones? Even supre special talent awakening crystals might appear?'' When Leo saw the information on the tinum treasure chest, Leo revealed an excited smile and was tempted to select it without any hesitation. However, Leo controlled his thoughts and checked out the remaining two items. ''Ding, Item Name: Dragon Eggs x 2. Item Grade: Legend Grade. Information: If the host can sessfully incubate them, a pair of Yin Yang dragons with the potential to reach the Legend Grade woulde out of these eggs. More Information: Even though they don''t have high-level battle prowesspared to the other sses of the dragon race, they were one of the ancient sses of the dragons that gave birth to various dragon sses. Note: They need to be at least Legend-Grade before they can start working on making Dragonlings. ''What? Ancient ss of the Dragon Race that gave birth to various dragon sses?'' In Leo''s words, Dragons were a myth as they were no dragon until Morgan appeared in his world. So, other than the basic knowledge on the Dragons that was mentioned in the records of his world, Leo didn''t know much about the Dragons. Therefore, Leo was shocked when he saw the information of the two ck and white eggs hovering in front of him. ''I should definitely have it.'' Even though Leo had already tamed 100 new monster kings in the Re: World Assessment and their tribes would also settle in his worlds as the natives, Leo felt it was good to have dragons. ''The more dragons I have under my control, the easier it will be for me to pass the future world assessments and soon orter, I will find a way to ascend to Godhood.'' With that thought in mind, Leo didn''t bother to check the information on the third item as he selected the two Yin Yang Dragon Eggs. ''Since I can pick another item from the remaining two items, it''s alright!'' Even though it seemed like Leo was hasty in selecting the Dragon Eggs, Leo had already thought about it. For him,pared to the tinum grade treasure chest, the Yin Yang Dragon Eggs were more useful because he could find the Fragements of the God Stones or the God Stones or the Special Talent Awakening Crystals one way or the other. However, it was not the same for the Yin Yang Dragon Eggs. So, in Leo''s view, there was no need to think much about selecting the Dragon Eggs. ''Anyway, let''s see whether the third item is more valuable than the treasure chest.'' As long as Leo finds the third item rare and more valuable than the treasure chest, Leo would select it. ''Ding, Item Name: Legendary Upgrade Crystal. Item Grade: Legend. Use: With the help of this item, the host can upgrade any talent, whether it is a normal, special or even super special talent, it can be directly upgraded from Mortal Grade to Legend Grade. Note: There is a small chance of mutation and even smaller chance of evolution of the selected talent. ''...'' Leo rubbed his eyes when he saw the information about the crystal hovering in front of him as he checked it once again. ''It can really upgrade a super special talent to the Legend Grade.'' Once he confirmed that he was not seeing things, Leo didn''t waste any more time as he selected the purple-coloured crystal. ''I will be taking this.'' As soon as he selected that, the tinum treasure chest disappeared without a trace. The rewards from the second round of the Re: World Assessment didn''t stop as the Ancient God asked Leo,
