Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Ding,

Item name: Special Upgrade Stone.

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 class.

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 regular 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 it later.

“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’t completely 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-clawed Vultures, a brother and sister duo conversed while looking at Leo.

The lady was in her mid-twenties with a beautiful face and well-developed body. She had long black 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 muscular body with tanned skin.

Both wore black 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 the last 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.

‘According 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 place 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 Camouflage – Integration into the surroundings]

Once they found a place 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 place where Leo killed the metal-clawed vultures, he felt uncomfortable 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 become an Advanced Beast Hero.”

Currently, Lionel was at peak rank 6 beast hero and an inch away from becoming 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-clawed vulture’s corpse.

‘I hope I can successfully turn a corpse into an undead being and complete the final requirement to upgrade the [Call of the Undead] to Supreme class.’

Taking a deep breath, Leo looked at the corpse on the ground and placed his hand on it before activating his talent [Call of the Undead].
