Talent Swallowing Hero

[Bonus Chapters for the Magic Castle (2/3)]

‘What?’

Leo was shocked when he suddenly heard the system notifications from his new system feature [Thoughts of the Gods].

However, there was nothing Leo could do as his body disappeared from his place.

‘Huh?’

Unlike Leo, Morgan was completely clueless regarding why his body suddenly froze and before he could even think about it, his body also disappeared from the world.

…

In an unknown place,

By the time they opened their eyes, both Leo and Morgan were standing in a barren land and as far as their eyes could see, there was nothing but the barren ground.

“What did you do? Where did you bring me?”

Morgan looked at Leo and angrily asked him with a frown.

‘Where is this place? What does God want?’

However, Leo didn’t bother to answer Morgan as he silently thought about the God that teleported them here.

“B*stard! Are you deaf or what? Can’t you hear me?”

Morgan became furious when he saw Leo was ignoring him and wanted to attack him; however, before he could attack, a bright light flashed in the sky before a shiny orb appeared in front of them.

<Welcome to the [Heavenly Arena]>

A voice came from the shiny orb, making Leo frown because he recognized this voice.

‘It is the Ancient voice that can open the portal in the world. What the hell does he want now?’

That’s right! It was the voice belonging to the beings that could open the portals and host the world assessments for the worlds.

From what Leo learned so far about this ancient being, he didn’t want the humans to pass the world assessment and as for this reason, Leo still doesn’t know.

Hence, when he heard the familiar ancient voice, Leo felt nothing good would come out of coming here.

Since both Leo and Morgan were humans, the Ancient voice didn’t want them to become much stronger. So, Leo worried about what he was planning by teleporting them to this barren ground.

“You are the one who rewarded me with a couple of world tickets when I established my Dragon City, right?”

On the other hand, Morgan asked the shiny orb with an exciting look and continued to speak, “Why don’t you give me the world tickets to the grade 2 and grade 3 worlds?”

<Yes. I am the one who rewarded you>

The voice from the shiny orb replied, <I can’t reward you just because you asked; however, you can earn a good reward before leaving the [Heavenly Arena]>

“What do we have to do to get that reward? Is it risky?”

Leo asked the Ancient Voice with a calm look.

Even though he hates the ancient voice, there was nothing he could do about it because the other party was a God whereas he was just a mortal…sorry…Supreme Hero.

<Of course! As long as there is a reward, there will be a risk>

The ancient voice continued, <The risk is only one of you will get out of here alive>

‘Huh?’

“Interesting”

Leo frowned, whereas the Dragon Summoning Hero became excited as he looked at Leo with an evil smile and asked “What should we do?”

<Nothing much, you just need to resume your fight. Whoever kills the other one first, will be a winner and he will get the reward before going back to your world>

“I am ready.”

Before the ancient voice could finish his words, the Dragon Summoning Hero was excited and agreed to fight Leo.

<Before that, you need to rest and recover your energy to the peak. Only then, the fight will be interesting and fair>

<Also, there are some gods that are coming to visit your fight! Make it as interesting as possible so that you might get extra rewards from them or even become their apsotle>

Seeing that Morgan was about to start the fight, the shiny orb stopped him and asked both of them to rest.

Of course, he didn’t forget to tempt Morgan and Leo with rewards.

‘Fair? What a joke?’

Leo scoffed in his head at the Ancient Being’s words; however, he didn’t say anything because he knew the quote ‘Weak don’t have the right to say in things’.

“But I am already an apostle of the Dragon God.”

On the other hand, Morgan was proud when he said that as he asked, “Will other gods pick me as their apostle?”

Even though Morgan was proud of being the apostle of the dragon god, he was worried that some random god would take a liking to Leo and give him his blessing during the fight.

When he thought about it, Morgan felt he was at a disadvantage if no god picks him as their apostle.

<You are only a temporary apostle. So you can become the temporary apostles for hundreds of gods but could only become the permanent apostle to one god>

<Actually, you are in a more advantageous position than your opponent because more and more gods will offer you to become their temporary apostle since you are already a temporary apostle of a powerful god>

<Become the temporary apostle for as many gods as possible and become the permanent apostle to the god who gives you more benefits. It’s just like how to enter the sect that gives you a lot of resources in your world>

<There is an example for you too. It is similar to entering the company that provides you with the highest income…it was before the pre-assessment. You must not know about it…I need to find an example…>

How could the Ancient Being not know about Morgan being the temporary apostle of the Dragon God? His interest got piqued because of him in the first place.

So, he explained and informed everything about the benefits of being a temporary apostle.

“It’s alright! I know what you are trying to say.”

Leo stopped the Ancient being from giving the example as he already understood what he was trying to say.

<Good. Go and rest. By the time you recover your energy, the other gods will arrive>

As soon as he finished his words, the Ancient voice disappeared from the Barren Land.

“Enjoy your last couple of hours.”

After hearing that he had more advantages than Leo, Morgan became even more arrogant as he scoffed at Leo before finding a good place to rest.

‘I will make sure he regrets killing my dragon and at the same time, I must get as many gods as my sponsors. This is the fortuitous encounter I am waiting for.’

After experiencing the benefits of becoming the Dragon God’s apostle, Morgan was more excited to get as many sponsors as possible.

If he missed this opportunity, he didn’t know when he would get such an opportunity again. Hence, Morgan wanted to impress the gods with his skills.

…

‘So that b*stard is from a different world like Arlo.’

Leo learned something new about Morgan from the Ancient being’s words and thought, ‘No wonder, he had the cultivation. His entire body is full of treasures for me but it is a pity…I can’t use the system abilities in front of the gods.’

Unlike Morgan, who wanted to impress the gods, Leo was sighing that he could not devour Morgan anymore.

…..

In some unknown realm,

[Fight between the two supreme-ranked humans]

[Venue: Heavenly Arena]

[Entry Fee: One unit of God Essence]

.

.

After disappearing from the barren land the Ancient Being sent the information about the fight between Leo and Morgan to the gods that are looking for potential apostles.
