Even though Leo wanted to kill the last supre-ranked monster, the Labyrinth Drake King, he didn’t try to risk his life.
So, he focused on killing the rank 9 monster and the mutated beasts, hoping to awaken one or two skills, and at the sa ti, he wanted to upgrade his new skills by devouring the monsters he killed.
[Battle Roar]
“Kill them all.”
Leo’s words increased the morale of the rcenaries and other heroes around him as they fought the monsters and the mutated beasts more fiercely than before.
[Sunfire Bolt]
‘Swoosh’
‘Puchi’
[Fire Claw]
‘Slash’
Next, he summoned nearly 100 fire bolts that were aid at a group of rank 9 monsters, which killed more than half of them, and the remaining half were killed by his next skill [Fire Claw]
[Specter]
‘Swoosh’
Seeing that he was dealing a lot of damage to their side, a group of rank 9 mutated beasts targeted Leo; however, he easily dodged them by using his ghost skill.
[Fire Healing]-.
‘Swish’
His ghost skill is useless against the energy attacks. So, he was slightly injured by one or two attacks.
Hence, he summoned a healing fireball and placed it on his injury to heal it.
Overall, he only used the skills and talents he gained from [Absolute Devour]. To be more specific, he used the level 8 skills and talents repeatedly to et the 100 tis usage requirent.
‘I need to grind as much as possible before Drake King escapes from here.’
Even though Leo was not fighting the Drake King, he kept an eye on how Mr. White and the city leader were fighting it.
He was sure that the city leader and Mr. White were intentionally not using their powerful moves and hiding them from one another.
Therefore, Leo was sure that the Drake King would escape without any problem.
‘Anyway, let’s devour.’
Leo had already killed more than 20 rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts within no ti. So, he started devouring them.
‘It is ti to reveal a little more information about the Talent Swallowing Hero.’
Since a few organizations and city leaders had already hunted him, he wanted to show sothing to everyone around him that would make others think before attacking him.
[Absolute Devour]
In front of everyone, Leo placed his hand on one of the rank 9 monsters he killed and started devouring it with the devil’s mouth.
The ground was filled with countless monsters and the mutated beasts; however, Leo could only awaken a skill by devouring the monsters he killed.
‘Ding,
The host devoured a rank 9 monster but didn’t awaken a new skill.
Even though he didn’t awaken anything, Leo was not disappointed as he repeated the process for the second, third, and so on.
‘Hey, look there.’
‘Is that a mouth?’
‘Does that an he is eating them?’
‘I think he is eating them and in return, he might be awakening their skills.’
‘Wait a second. Does that an, he can even devour us, right?’
Suddenly, everyone from the human side beca fearful of Leo.
‘No wonder, he has so many skills and talents.’
‘However, I don’t think he can swallow his talents unconditionally. There must be certain requirents and conditions.’
Nevertheless, not everyone feared ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’s’ devouring and guessed there must be limits and conditions to it.
…
Ti continued to pass and one hour passed by in a flash.
Leo killed 100 rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts before devouring them and successfully awakened two more new skills.
Even though it was less than the probability that the system had ntioned, Leo was satisfied with two new skills.
“Roar…Everyone retreat.”
On the other hand, the Labyrinth Drake King roared at his surviving subordinates and ordered them to retreat.
“One day, I will make you pay for killing my friends and the subordinates.”
There were the last words that the Drake King had said before running away.
Since he was a Supre-ranked monster, if he wanted to escape, no one could stop them.
Moreover, Mr. White and the city leader didn’t intend to use their full power against the Drake King or pursue it into the wilderness.
After the Drake King’s escape, all the monsters and the mutated beasts started running away; however, most were unlucky as the human heroes killed them.
“Everyone, the victory is ours. Long live city leader.”
“Long live city leader.”
The city guards shouted out loud, and the human heroes also did the sa to get into the good books of the city leader.
“We won because of everyone’s hard work.”
However, the city leader acted modestly and gave everyone credit for stopping the horde.
“Moreover, we should be thankful for the mighty ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’. Without him, we would have been in serious trouble.”
The city leader looked at Leo and bowed, “Thank you for your help. If you don’t mind, I will host a party tonight to show my gratitude. You should give face and co to the party.”
“Yes, sir. You should co.”
The city leader and the city guards requested Leo to visit the party.
“Of course, he will co. Without the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’, Phirie city would have been destroyed.”
Mr. White could tell what the city leader was planning. Therefore, he also requested Leo to attend the party.
“Looks like you have a lot of ti on your hands.”
However, Leo scoffed at them and said, “Even though you are supre-ranked heroes, you don’t focus on improving your battle prowess. If you can’t kill a supre-ranked monster even after fighting together, then you should just go and die. You are useless to the human race.”
“How dare you speak in such a way?”
The five loyal city guards beca furious and about to attack Leo; however, they were stopped by the city leader.
“Even though you are able to kill supre-ranked beings that don’t give you the right….”
“I don’t have ti to waste on weaklings like you. I hope I don’t see you again.”
‘Swoosh’
Before the city leader could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words and entered his secret dinsional space, and left.
“You.”
The city leader clenched his fists in anger; however, there was nothing he could do now since he could not sense where the Talent Swallowing Hero went.
‘Cool’
On the other hand, the Talent Swallowing Hero beca an idol for the young heroes because of his guts.
They had never seen anyone speak so rudely to the city leader. Even Mr. White, with the strength of Supre rank, always remained polite and respectful in front of the city leader.
However, the Talent Swallowing Hero, who was only a rank 9 hero, not only did he reject the city leader’s invitation but also mocked the city leader in front of everyone.
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work.”
After such humiliation from Leo, the city leader didn’t dare to stay there any longer and hurriedly left with the city guards.
…
‘I feel so much better after insulting him.’
Leo had already returned to his mansion and smiled a little.
Because he had wanted to mock the city leader in front of everyone for a while now, and today, he had finally done it. Therefore he was happy about it.
‘Ding,
The host completed the mission ‘Incoming monster and mutated beast hordes’.
‘Finally, it’s ti for the mission rewards.’
