Talent Swallowing Hero

Leo didn’t know that by letting the secret organization know about his real strength didn’t back them down in coming after him.

Instead, it only made them hunt down the Talent Swallowing Hero as soon as possible before the world assessment started.

The reason was simple. With level 2 supreme rank strength along with his unparalleled battle prowess, if the Talent Swallowing Hero participated in the world assessment, his contributions would be over the charts.

The leaders of the secret organizations were not as clueless as the normal residents of the world because they knew that those with huge contributions would be rewarded heavily by the ancient voice.

Hence, they didn’t want an individual like the Talent Swallowing Hero to participate in the World Assessment.

“Leader, how are we going to catch that b*stard? The moment he senses any danger, he will escape without any hesitation.”

The elders of the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ were not surprised that the five secret organizations joined their hands to kill Leo because it was not the first they allied together.

However, they didn’t know how they were going to catch the Talent Swallowing Hero.

“We are not going after him anymore; instead, he will come to us.”

The middle-aged revealed an evil smile as he explained the plan to catch the Talent Swallowing Hero.

“From each secret organization, one elder and ten supreme-ranked heroes should be joining together and their task is to kill the Talent Swallowing Hero. I want one of you to volunteer in joining that special unit. So, who will it be?”

The leader of the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ looked at the ten elders of his organization and asked for a volunteer; however, no one came forward.

Even though these elders have the strength of level 3 and level 4 supreme rank, they were scared of the Talent Swallowing Hero.

If it was before, they would have fought to volunteer; however, the Talent Swallowing Hero was no longer a rank 9 hero.

He became a level 2 supreme hero and because of his scary talents and battle prowess, no elders were ready to come forward.

“It looks like I have to pick an elder myself.”

The leader became serious when he saw how scared his elders were and picked, “Fifth Elder, pick 10 level 1 supreme-ranked members of our organization and go to the Supreme Mountain City.”

Except for one old man, the rest of the old men heaved a sigh of relief for not getting picked by the leader.

“Don’t worry. Since there will be 54 supreme-ranked heroes with you, it is not a difficult mission.”

The leader asked the fifth elder to not worry as he continued, “Moreover, if you can complete the mission successfully, you can directly become the vice-leader.”

“What?”

When they heard the leader’s words, the ten elders were shocked and except for the fifth elder who was excited, the remaining elders were frustrated.

“Thank you for such an excellent opportunity, Leader.”

It was not an easy task to become the vice leader of a secret organization. Hence, the fifth elder was over the moon.

With just a few words from the leader, the mission was no longer difficult or tiresome.

“By the way, leader, why is the rendezvous point at the Supreme Mountain City?”

After calming himself down, the fifth elder asked the leader why they were selecting Supreme Mountain City.

“The closest city to Starlight City is Supreme Mountain City. So, in the meeting with the other four secret organizations, we deduced that the Talent Swallowing Hero’s next target will be the Supreme Mountain City.”

The leader explained the reason behind why all the special units formed to kill the Talent Swallowing Hero were gathering at the Supreme Mountain City.

“I know the deductions of the secret organizations rarely went wrong; however, isn’t it a little too…”

“Idiot.”

Before one of the elders could finish his words, the fifth elder mocked him as he said, “The Talent Swallowing Hero has destroyed our branch in Phirie City and next in Starlight City. Isn’t it obvious what his next target will be?”

“Moreover, there is an upcoming auction in our [Secret Market] in that city from all the items we recovered recently from exploring the [God Ruins].”

There was a reason why the leader chose the fifth elder and it was because of his good deduction skills.

To catch the Talent Swallowing Hero, compared to the strength, they needed intelligence and most of the secret organizations sent their elders with good observation and deduction skills.

“Correct.”

The leader nodded and urged the elders, “Other than the fifth elders, the remaining elders should focus on finding the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands].”

Maybe it was because of the upcoming World Assessment or the aggressive exploration of the secret organizations, they were finding [God Ruins] very easily and clearing them.

Therefore, the leader asked them to focus on it.

“Yes, Leader.”

Soon, all the elders left with their own missions, leaving the leader alone in the meeting hall.

‘Finally, I have collected enough Fragments of the God Stones. I think I can reach level 6 supreme rank and make those b*stards into my servants.’

Without wasting any time, the leader of the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ went to his training room and sat in the center of the room.

‘Swoosh’

Soon, 30 black-coloured stones flew out of his storage ring and hovered in front of him.

If Leo was here, he would have been surprised to see 30 Fragments of the God Stones because even though he visited other worlds and explored a [God Ruins], he only had 10; however, the leader of the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ has 30 of them.

‘I hope I can merge them.’

With an expectant look on his face, the leader activated his talent, ‘[Fundamental Merge].’

‘Swoosh’

Soon, among the 30 Fragments of the God Stones, ten of them shone brightly for a moment before coming closer to merge.

‘Boom’

However, the process failed and the 10 Fragments of the God Stones disappeared.

‘Next.’

However, the leader didn’t have any emotion on his face as he repeated the process for the second which ended up in a failure.

‘Again.’

He didn’t give up as he used the last 10 Fragments of the God Stones to merge them and finally it was successful.

The ten Fragments of the God Stones turned into a fist-sized black-coloured stone that shone brightly.

Just a single look and it was giving an aura of a divine item.

“Finally…finally…I made it.”

Looking at the fist-sized black-coloured stone in front of him, the leader of the ‘Black Tower’ had mixed emotions as he slowly took the shining stone into his hands.

“I have it…the God Stones from the records left behind by the Otherworldy Beings.”

The leader still felt he was dreaming and held the God Stone closer to his heart as he revealed an excited smile.

‘It’s time to break through.’

Soon, the middle-aged man didn’t waste any time as he took one last look at the God Stone before putting it in his mouth.
