Talent Swallowing Hero

‘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 explaining 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 Madlad 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 [Treasure land], 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 place and reappeared between Zen and Zac.

“You uncle Mad might feel alone in the netherworld, why don’t you go and accompany 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 flaming lion.

“Okay.”

Leo nodded.

‘Puchi’

‘Slash’

However, in the next second, a silver light flashed as Zac and Zen’s heads rolled in the air and fell in front of Liam.

“How dare you….”

“Whatever, just come and kill me if you are angry.”

As Liam was seething with rage, Leo interrupted his words and asked him to come 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 flaming lion finished its words, it jumped at Leo, emitting raging fires out of its body.
