Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 600: Leo Versus Forest Manticore

[Legendary Nether Domain – Solo Domain]

[Talent Card – Call of the Lightning]

[Legendary Nether Domain – Nether Rage Booster]

As soon as Leo believed that he had successfully lowered the forest manticore’s guard, he didn’t waste any time in going all out at once.

‘Ding,

Solo Domain is activated. The opponent’s battle prowess will be reduced by 50 percent as long as he is within one kilometer radius from the master.

‘Ding,

Nether Rage Booster is activated. The master’s strength and the selected talent [Call of the Lightning] will be boosted to the peak legend grade for the next two minutes.

With the activation of those trump cards, Leo senses the familiar feeling of becoming an omnipotent being.

At the same time, the injury from the stinger all disappeared without leaving a scar.

“What did you do to me? Why do I feel like I became very weak all of sudden?”

On the other hand, the forest manticore was feeling the complete opposite of Leo.

For a moment, he became anxious and hurriedly wanted to increase his defence as he had a bad feeling about the sudden change in the situation.

[Starlight Steps]

“It’s too late to put your guard up now.”

Before the forest manticore could do anything, Leo had already attacked it by moving closer to it.

[Call of the Lightning – Lightning of Obliteration]

‘Rumble’

‘Swoosh’

Thunder rumbled as a purple-coloured lightning descended from the sky and landed on the forest manticore’s human head which was the main weakness of any manticore.

‘Boom’

The moment the [Lightning of Obliteration] landed on the forest manticore’s head, there was a huge explosion

[Call of the Lightning – Lightning Rain]

[Call of the Lightning – Lightning flash]

Even though he had used his most powerful attack, Leo didn’t want to take any chance of letting the forest manticore remain alive before his [Nether Rage Booster’s] effect disappears.

Therefore, he continued to use the basic effects of the [Call of the Lightning], hoping to kill the forest manticore, in case it survived the [Lightning of Obliteration].

‘Even though it is a Mythical Grade being, with the 50 percent reduction in its strength, it would utmost become a peak legend grade being. So, there is no chance it could survive these many attacks along with the [Lightning of Obliteration].’

Even though Leo said that, deep down, he worried that it must be still alive.

If it was a normal beast, Leo would have been confident that the forest manticore was dead; however, he believed that it was an ascended being and these so-called ascended beings were much tougher and unpredictable.

Unpredictable because Leo didn’t know much about them and what kind of tricks they have.

“Aargh…damn you b*stard.”

Just as Leo wanted to move closer to check on the forest manticore, he heard the angry voice of the forest manticore.

“I thought about playing with you for a while before killing you.But, I am going to torture you and make you beg me to kill you.”

Surprisingly, there was not a single wound on the forest manticore, making Leo completely shocked because it was completely out of his expectations.

Even though Leo felt that the forest manticore might survive his earlier attacks, he at least hoped to see it critically injured.

‘Damn it…damn it…damn it.’

Leo cursed at his luck as he looked at the forest manticore that rushed towards him with a face full of anger.

‘Is this how I am going to end my first run inside God Tower?’

While dodgingthe attacks from the forest manticore, Leo silently thought in his mind because he was unable to think of a plan where he could kill it.

Leo had already used the most powerful move that he could use and there was not a single scratch on it.

He worried that even if he might increase his attack power by some more, it still won’t be enough to kill the forest manticore.

Leo was using the [Starlight Steps] to increase his movement speed that helped him a lot in dodging the scorpion stinger and the lion claws.

He didn’t want to waste his trump cards and at the same time, he didn’t want to end his stay in God Tower.

‘Huh?’

As Leo was in the dilemma where he sould just die or use all the trump cards, he noticed something, ‘It looks very tired compared to before and its attack speed is also lowering with each passing second.’

‘Ding,

The [Nether Rage Booster’s] effect has ended. Please fill it again to use it.

Just as Leo was thinking of an opportunity, his temporary boost disappeared, which made him a lot slower than before.

‘Puchi…aargh’

‘Putong’

The moment the effects of the [Nether Rage Booster] ended, the scorpion stinger pierced through his thigh.

With that, Leo fell to the ground as he lost his momentum.

‘Slash’

‘Crr’

The forest manticore used that opportunity to slash at Leo with its lion claws.

‘Ding,

The [Nether Rage Booster] has been filled by 5 percent (from stinger).

dαn?νel ‘Ding,

The [Nether Rage Booster] has been filled by 10 percent (from claws).

Even though those attacks were critical, the forest manticore was careful not to kill Leo so soon as it wanted to torture it.

‘Damn this pain…I have to endure it.’

On the other hand, Leo didn’t bother to move anymore and even if he wanted to move, he could not outrun or dodge the forest manticore’s attacks.

Therefore, he decided to stay on the ground and fill the [Nether Rage Booster].

‘Puchi’

“How is it? Are you liking it?”

The forest manticore once again used its stinger to pierce Leo’s other leg and asked with a smile.

Manticores are one of the beings that gets easily offended and have quite a temper. Therefore, Leo knew that the forest manticore wouldn’t be killing him any time sooner.

Hence, he decided to use this opportunity to fill the [Nether Rage Booster].

‘It has definitely become weaker than before. I think I can clear this floor thanks to its innate nature of torturing me.’

Leo gritted his teeth as he decided to endure the pain for a while.
