Talent Swallowing Hero

Previously, Leo could use all his talents combined 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 talents combined 100 times in a single go. So, he asked whether it was also related 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 slave mark, making it harder to know the true potential of how many times he could use his talents.

‘It had already become 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 plan before walking out of the secret dimension.

“City Leader Theodore, do you want me to help you with that Slayer 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 Slayer 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 black-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 more network 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 to come to my city. Please help me stop this invasion.”

City Leader Theodore requested Leo’s help without any hesitation.

Even though he and the Slayer Wyvern King are of the same rank, the Slayer 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 Slayer 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 finally come 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 claim the reward for myself.’

While fighting the Drake King with his subordinates, Mr. White started planning 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 plans.

‘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 Manipulation] 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 planning in his head.

Instead, he was planning on killing the Slayer Wyvern King.

Leo and the City leader fought with the Slayer 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.
