Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 523: Spirit Refinement Begins

‘T-this is…a…where did he get this item? It belongs to that ‘Evil B*stard’.’

Previously, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God thought that the Golden Furnace was created by some creation-type talent.

However, when he took a closer look at that Golden Furnace, he was shocked and looked at Leo and asked,

“Human, who are you and where did you get this item? If you answer me, I will help you ascend to Godhood.”

“No…wait….since you are going to kill me, please answer my question. Who gave you this Golden Furnace?”

The remnant spirit of the Dragon God gave up on the hopes of getting out of his current situation alive after taking a clear look at the Golden Furnace.

Instead, he only wanted Leo to answer his question about the Golden Furnace.

‘…’

Leo remained silent for a moment before replying, “For a remnant spirit that was about to die, you have a lot of questions, don’t you?”

‘Swallow’

Why would Leo bother to ask the questions of the remnant spirit?

Currently, Leo was only focused on swallowing the remnant spirit of the Dragon God as soon as possible before refining it.

Even though Leo was confident that his [Spirit Swallowing Ability] has no problem in swallowing the remnant spirit, Leo didn’t want to drag the process for too long as he still didn’t know what type of trump cards the remnant spirit might use.

‘Swoosh’

As Leo focused on the Golden Furnace, the suction force of the furnace increased by a lot and started swallowing the remnant spirit.

“Damn it….I am going to kill you.”

Seeing that Leo was locking down on him, the remnant spirit became furious and shouted at Leo.

“What are you going to do? Didn’t your powers get sealed already?”

In response to the remnant spirit’s question, Leo scoffed at the remnant spirit because he had already received the notification from the [Thoughts of the Gods] saying that the remnant spirit’s Godly Powers were all sealed.

Leo was obviously not surprised at that because it was not his first time seeing the remnant spirit’s Godly Powers get sealed.

[Damn it…how did he know that my battle prowess was sealed?]

The remnant spirit was shocked as he didn’t understand how Leo knew about his Godly Powers being sealed.

[Wait a second…this Godly Artifact, many powerful talents, and many trump cards….I finally got it]

Even though the remnant spirit had his Godly Powers sealed, he had some power left to struggle against the suction force of the Golden Furnace.

However, suddenly, he thought of something that made him no longer struggle against the suction force of the Golden Furnace.

“You are that Evil B*stard’s apostle, right?…aargh.”

As soon as he said those words, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God was pulled into the Golden Furnace.

“Huh? As of now, I am no one’s apostle.”

Even though Leo knew what the remnant spirit meant by those words, Leo didn’t bother too much about it as he replied while shrugging his hand without any emotion.

“Don’t lie…you are definitely that b*stard’s apostle. It explains everything.”

The remnant spirit was already imprisoned inside the Golden Furnace; however, Leo was yet to order the Golden Furnace to refine the remnant spirit.<AllNovelFull></AllNovelFull>

Hence, the remnant spirit was able to shout at Leo.

‘…’

Leo remained silent.

Even though Leo knew that he was not anyone’s apostle, he felt that he would become an apostle soon….an apostle to the creator of the system.

As for whether that person was evil or righteous, Leo didn’t bother too much about it.

The reason why Leo was still alive, why he was able to reunite with his family and why he was able to take his revenge was all thanks to the system.

Without the system, he would have either died or even if he was lucky and remained alive, he would have been working in some underground mine with a ‘Slave’ status.

Since the system was able to help him so much, Leo didn’t mind becoming the apostle to the creator of the system.

‘As long as the creator of the system doesn’t ask me to harm my friends or family, I don’t mind becoming his sword.’

Even though Leo might not be a righteous person, he was not an ungrateful person.

“Haha…human, it looks like you are very satisfied with the blessings you received from that ‘Evil B*stard’; however, there will come a day when you regret becoming his apostle.”

Seeing that Leo remained silent, the remnant spirit thought that Leo was really the apostle of the God that he was referring to as ‘Evil B*stard’.

[Even though I don’t know how that Evil B*stard takes care of his apostles, I should make this little b*stard doubt his Sponsored God.]

So, he started laughing at Leo in the hopes of creating a ‘Seed of Doubt’ in Leo’s heart.

However, the remnant spirit’s thoughts were seen through by Leo with the help of his [Thoughts of the Gods].

“Whatever.”

Leo shook his head and continued, “I think it is time to refine you.”

Leo only had less than an hour before he was forcefully kicked out of this world. So, he wanted to take care of the refinement as soon as possible.

[Spirit Swallowing Ability – Refinement]

Hence, without any hesitation, Leo ordered the Golden Furnace to refine the remnant spirit of the Dragon God.

“Aargh”

Soon, the remnant spirit of the Dragon God felt pain all over his body as the refinement process began.

‘Ding,

The Golden Furnace has started refining the remnant spirit of the Dragon God.

‘Ding,

The estimated time of refinement is one month.

Soon, the system informed Leo about the refinement time, making him frown.

‘Huh? Why is the refinement time so high for this remnant spirit?’

As Leo was wondering about it, he heard the remnant spirit of the Dragon God’s words that were filled with painful groans.

“Human, I have…argh….already informed….arrghh…the main body about you and….arghh..your sponsored god. It won’t be….argh….long before you will….arghhh…be hunted by all the Gods…haha…arghh.”
