Talent Swallowing Hero

“Brother Leo, my…my talent has reached level 6.”

Julia absorbed all the experience she received from the huge black eagle within no time.

Julia was so excited to become a rank 6 hero.

Because it’s been not even an hour since she became a rank 5 hero; however, she had already become a rank 6 hero.

‘These pills never disappointed me.’

This was the first thought in Leo’s head when he sensed the increase in Julia’s talent.

“Congratulations. At this rate, you will become the youngest advanced healing hero in the Phirie city.”

Leo was genuinely happy for her as he congratulated her.

Generally, a healing type hero was rare, and high-level ones were even rarer.

Moreover, if Julia becomes an advanced healing-type hero in her early twenties, all the powerful families would try to recruit her.

‘The Icefeather family will welcome her with open arms if they knew she already became a rank 6 hero.’

Even though rank 6 and rank 7 heroes belong to two different classes, as long as one provides sufficient resources, it won’t be hard for a rank 6 hero to become a rank 7 hero.

What’s more, Julia is only 20 years old, and as long as she puts in some effort, even without any resources, she will become a rank 7 before 30 years._-.

Since Amy Icefeather helped Julia from her childhood, the Icefeather family would use it.

‘Let’s see how the Icefeather family will approach her.’

Leo revealed an evil smile in his heart as he started making preparations for the Icefeather family.

…

“Master, even though I didn’t breakthrough in my rank, I am much more powerful than before.”

The huge black eagle flew in the air as she replied to Leo, “That pill is truly miraculous.”

“I know that pill is miraculous.”

Leo nodded his head; however, he raised his brows as he asked, “When did I become your master?”

“The moment you freed me from those manticores.”

The huge eagle didn’t think much as she replied, “Even if you didn’t give me as your follower or servant, I will always consider you as my master.”

“…”

Leo became speechless at the huge eagle’s words.

“Hehe”

From the side, Julia could not help but laugh at the huge black eagle’s words before asking, ” My name is Julia. What do I call you? Do you have a name?”

Since she would spend more time with the huge black eagle in the future, Julia asked the eagle’s name.

“Nope. I don’t have a name as I don’t really need one until now.”

The eagle shook its head and said it had no name.

“What? No name?”

Julia was surprised as she asked, “How can you have no name?”

“Because I don’t have a family or never made any friends.”

The black eagle replied in a calm tone in a nonchalant tone.

“Brother Leo, since you freed her and gave a new life, why don’t you give her a name?”

Julia’s heart ached when she heard the black eagle’s reply because she could somewhat relate the black eagle’s life to her life.

However, compared to Julia’s life, the black eagle’s life was much more arduous because she didn’t have anyone to rely on and the life in the wilderness was even more difficult.

Nevertheless, since fate met them together, Julia decided to treat the huge eagle like her family and friend.

So, she asked Leo to give the huge eagle a name.

“Since she looks like a light ray whenever she flies, let’s call her Kira.”

Like Julia, Leo also felt a little closer to the black eagle as he directly gave a name to her.

Leo was already feeling close to her because of their similar fate with the manticore. That’s the reason why he was generous with both Herse and Kira.

After learning about Kira’s past, Leo felt it even closer as he could perfectly imagine her life.

“Kira? Not bad.”

The huge eagle nodded her head; however, she was excited to get a name she didn’t show in its eyes.

However, too bad for Kira, Leo could see through her easily.

“Since I promised you to instantly make rank 8 mutated beast, take this.”

Leo threw a fragment of the God stone at Kira without any hesitation.

“What is it?”

Unlike Griffins, the abyss eagles were not good at sensing the energy. So, of course, Kira failed to recognize the value of the black stone as she swallowed it.

“You will know soon enough.”

Leo didn’t explain; instead, he said she would find out about it.

Just as he finished his words, Kira felt pure energy inside her body coming out of the black stone she had just swallowed.

“If I were you, I would land on the ground to absorb the pure energy to achieve the breakthrough.”

Leo indirectly asked Kira to stop flying, and the huge eagle didn’t dare to fly anymore as she landed on the ground to absorb the energy.

“Brother Leo, didn’t you already give the fragment of the God stone to Herse? Where did you get the second one?”

However, Julia recognized the black stone as she asked where Leo got the second one.

“From the Bandit mountain.”

Leo explained the things he got from the bandit mountain; he omitted the artifacts and weapons because his ‘Arcane Silver’ had already eaten those things.

“What? More than 20 million hero coins and two fragments of the God stones?”

Julia was shocked to the core when she heard Leo found many hero coins.

“Yes, besides hero coins and the fragments of the God stones, I found these three artifacts.”

Nodding his head, Leo took out three suitable artifacts for Julia, Ryan, and Amy.

“Artifacts?”

After learning about 20 million hero coins, Julia was no longer shocked or surprised by anything.

“I appraised these items and this staff will be useful for you.”

While saying that, Leo handed her ‘Enigma staff’ and continued saying, “As for this ring, it is suitable for humans with fire talents and this bracelet is for humans with ice talent.”

Julia was not surprised that Leo could appraise the artifacts after learning that he had three talents.

Julia concluded that there was nothing Brother Leo could not do in her mind.

“But, Brother Leo, why don’t you use the fragments of the god stone?”

Taking the wooden staff, Julia asked Leo with a confused look.

“Because I don’t have to use it to increase my hero rank.”

Leo gave a brief reply as he tossed a circular golden token at Julia and said, “Drop your blood on it and you can send Kira into it when we enter the city.”
