‘Finally, I can swallow the slave seal on my body.’
Leo has been waiting for this moment since he gained the [Seal Swallowing Ability]. So, he was excited about finally becoming free from the seal.
Previously, Leo had a total of three enslavement seals on his body. He had already swallowed the level 1 and 2 enslavement seals; however, his third seal was a level 6 enslavement seal and the main source of his problem.
After swallowing 100 level 5 enslavement seals from the young trainees, his [Seal Swallowing Ability] has been upgraded to level 6, and finally, he could swallow his level 6 enslavement seal.
‘As long as there is no slave seal on my body, the Forbidden Curse will disappear.’
Leo had already done enough research on the curses and the enslavement seal. Hence he was sure about it.
‘Swallow’
Soon, Leo placed his hand on the slave seal and activated his ability with a single word.
‘Ding,
The host swallowed a level 6 enslavement seal.
‘Ding,
The host needs to swallow 99 more level 6 seals to upgrade the [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy].-.
‘Ding,
Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking free from the enslavement seal.
‘Ding,
The Forbidden Curse from the enslavement 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 healed completely, 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 explain to the host only after his soul is healed. Please heal your soul.
However, the system didn’t explain 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 enslavement 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 enslavement 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 to complete.
Therefore, he selected his next target and the last enslaved 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 enslavement 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 enslavement 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 enslavement 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 enslavement 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 Flaming Lion King, and thanks to his [Additional Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Effect], he could swallow the enslavement 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 Slave 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.’
