Talent Swallowing Hero

How to explore a world in a short time?

It was by attracting the attention of the world’s inhabitants.

‘Even though it is risky to become the enemies of the three races, the rewards are worth it. Not only can I get those rewards but I can also devour a large number of beasts to awaken more talents and at the same time, I also upgrade the skills and talents gained from [Absolute Devour].’

Leo smiled slightly and agreed to the Flaming Lion cub’s deal.

“Good. Don’t worry, human. I will make sure you are generously rewarded.”

The cub was excited and once again promised Leo the rewards.

‘If things go south, I can use my [Spatial Manipulation] to hide.’

Leo was not worried much as he was confident in his talent [Spatial Manipulation].

“However, I don’t know much about this world and how to travel to your family.”

In the next second, Leo shrugged with a calm look, making the lion cub nearly fall to the ground.

“How can you not know about this world? Even though you might not be native to this world, it’s been thousands of years since wild humans were thrown into this world along with other wild monsters.”

The lion cub intently looked at Leo as it didn’t understand why the human in front of it was so dumb and thought, ‘Maybe he hurt his head and lost his memories.’

“…”

Leo was speechless when he saw the lion cub looking at him with pity.

“Don’t worry. You have strength, I am smart. No one can stop us from leaving this ‘Water Spider Den’.”_-.

The lion cub didn’t explain about the world; instead, it said, “For now, let’s leave this den. I will tell you everything about this world along the way to my family.”

As the lion cub finished its words, it rushed towards the exit of the den sealed with spider webs.

‘Fireblast’

Soon, the mane made up of fire appeared around the cub’s head, and it tried to burn the spirit webs.

However, it was useless because the spider webs seemed more robust than the flames produced by the cub.

“Human, can you teleport us out of this den?”

Seeing that the flames were useless against the spider webs, the cub requested Leo’s help.

“Let me see how powerful they are.”

Leo didn’t use his [Spatial Manipulation] talent; instead, he wanted to destroy the densely packed spider webs preventing them from leaving the den.

[Fire Claw]

‘Slash’

‘They are strong.’

Seeing that his level 8 [Fire Claw] only did slight damage, Leo commented, ‘a rank 9 water spider might have released the spider webs.’

‘But, I can cut them if I use the [Fire Claw] multiple times.’

Among all his skills, [Fire Claw] consumes the least energy. Moreover, he had to use it 100 times to upgrade it to level 9.

So, he didn’t bother to waste energy using other powerful skills or talents.

‘Slash

‘Slash’

Leo used both hands to materialize the transparent fire claw and slashed at the spider webs.

“Human, can I ask you one thing?”

While Leo was slashing at the spider web, the lion cub asked him without waiting for his reply, “What is your exact rank? Even with my [Divine Sense], I can’t sense your real strength.”

Before entering Phirie city, Leo asked the system to show his strength as rank 6, and afterwards, he didn’t bother to change it.

The lion cub has a talent for sensing the real strength of others; however, it sensed Leo’s strength as rank 6.

It was very sure that Leo was hiding his real strength. Therefore, it curiously asked Leo about his strength.

“Do you want to know my strength or do you want me to save you? Pick one.”

However, Leo was not the type to share his secrets with anyone just because they were together. So, he asked the lion cub to pick one.

“Protect me.”

Leo was the only hope for the lion cub to return to his family. So, he didn’t ask Leo any more questions.

‘Slash’

“Let’s go.”

After using the [Fire Claw] ten times, the spider webs disappeared as Leo, and the lion cub walked out of the spider den.

“What the…”

After walking out of the spider den, Leon was shocked by the surroundings because, as far as his eyes could see, it was filled with water and hundreds of huge black-coloured rocks.

All these black-coloured rocks were connected using spider webs.

‘Is this one of the four regions ‘The Abandoned Sea’?’

From the information he gained from the system, Leo guessed his current location.

“The Water Spiders are really something to go as far as bringing us to the depths of the Abandoned sea.”

From the side, the lion cub angrily informed Leo.

“The flaming lion heir and the human are trying to escape. Alert everyone.”

As Leo was about to ask how they should leave the region, a group of huge blackish blue-coloured spiders resting on the spider webs connecting the huge black rocks alerted everyone.

“Rank 9 beasts as guards?”

Leo was surprised to see that rank 9 water spiders were guarding them; however, soon, he became happy.

“Stay here. Let me take care of them.”

With an exciting look, Leo rushed towards the group of rank 9 water spiders.

[Wyvern Wings]

‘Swoosh’

Even though the huge water spiders were using the spirit webs to move, Leo didn’t step on them, fearing they might drain his energy.

When he entered this world, he vaguely remembered getting caught in a spider web, and before he could do something, he felt all his energy was drained, making him fall asleep.

‘Even if they don’t have the ability to drain my energy, it is better to avoid them.’

Soon, two huge black-coloured wings appeared on his back.

[Fire Claw]

[Wyvern Claw]

[Sunfire Bolts]

Leo mostly used the skills and talents he gained from [Absolute Devour] that were stuck at level 8.

Even though he needed to use those skills and talents multiple times, Leo didn’t mind, and it didn’t even take much time for Leo to kill five rank 9 water spiders.

‘Ding,

The host killed five rank 9 water spiders and received 1500 [Promote points].

‘Ding,

The host made his first kill in the Beast World. As a result, the host will be rewarded with a Bestial Soul Stone.

‘A Bestial Soul Stone?’

A transparent stone with a small serpent sealed in it appeared in his hands.

“Who dares to kill my children.”

Suddenly, an angry female voice came from the distance, and hundreds of rank 9 water spiders came out of the huge black-coloured rocks with blood-red eyes.

“Oh no. Human, let’s fly away from here. The Mother of the Water Spiders has woken up.”

The lion cub became anxious as it hurriedly asked Leo to escape.

Even though the flaming lion cub was only two months old, because of its special status, it was taught everything about the Beastnet.

So, it knew how powerful the Mother of the Water Spiders was and what it would do once they were captured.

“Okay.”

Keeping the Bestial Soul Stone in the storage ring, Leo picked up the lion cub and flew in the direction the cub pointed.

“My dear children, hunt them down. Kill the human and capture that Flaming Lion’s heir alive.”

The angry voice resounded in the surroundings as Leo increased his speed.
