Talent Swallowing Hero

In the outskirts of the solitary forest,

‘Huf…huf’

Leo gasped for breath as he devoured the last 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 to completely exhausted his energy. During these 12 hours, he had killed nearly a thousand monsters and mutated beasts combined.

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 accumulated nearly five hundred thousand.’

He didn’t bother to spend the [Promote points] amidst his hunt; instead, he accumulated them and decided to use them later.

‘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-class talent anymore. Please select a basic talent to upgrade.

With level 2 [Talent Promter], Leo could only upgrade basic class 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 flash, night descended.

In the Ambermane family’s guest room,

“Ambermane family has three rank 9 heroes namely, Liam, Seth and Mad.”

Dominic explained 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 Rebecca 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 planning 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 planning 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 planning to do by staying back in the city?’

Leo frowned and realized something, ‘Don’t tell me they are planning 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.
