“It’s ti to stretch my muscles a little.”
Leo walked out of the cave and stretched his body a little.
‘Swoosh’
‘Swoosh’
Nearly 20 masked figures appeared out of nowhere and attacked Leo in no ti.
‘Teleportation’
However, Leo had long noticed those assassins and used his ‘Teleportation’ talent to dodge the sneak attacks.
‘Swoosh’
After re-appearing so distance away from his previous position, Leo saw nearly 20 masked figures.
Five of them were rank 5 heroes, and 13 were rank 4 heroes.
The last one, who looked like the group leader, was a rank 7 hero.
“Who sent you? The Ambermane family?”
Leo didn’t have to think much as he asked the group leader in his usual cold tone.
Only a powerful family like the Ambermane family could afford to hire a rank 7 hero. Moreover, the Ambermane family wants Julia dead. So, it was not tough to guess who was behind the group of assassins.
“Attack”
However, Clens didn’t bother to reply to Leo; instead, he ordered his subordinates to attack Leo again.
This ti, Clens didn’t plan to join his subordinates; instead, he planned to launch an attack the mont Leo dodged his subordinates’ attacks.-.
‘Let’s see how you can use your teleportation in such a short ti.’
Every ti a human uses his talent, he needs to wait for so ti before using it once again.
The waiting ti varies from person to person depending on various factors like the power of the talent, level of the talent and other hidden factors.
So, Clens was planning to use Leo’s waiting ti to launch a surprise and severely injure Leo.
Clens was not planning to kill Leo as he still had to investigate what he did to the Vice leader and the other mbers of his squad.
“Huh? What are you waiting for? Just go and attack.”
However, Clens frowned when he saw none of his squad mbers moved from his place, much less use their talents.
So, he angrily shouted at them.
“Leader, our feet are stuck in the ground.”
One of the squad mbers pointed to the ground.
“…including yours.”
Another squad mber pointed at Clens’s feet.
“What?”
Clens was shocked to see that his feet were also stuck in the ground.
“You have three talents?”
According to Clens’s observation, Leo already had two talents, and now, looking at his feet stuck in the ground, he learned that Leo had another talent.
‘…’
However, Leo didn’t bother to answer Clens’s question as he walked toward the assassin closest to him.
‘It’s been a while since I swallowed a new talent. Let’s hope I find a good one among these assassins.’
Looking at the assassins, Leo hoped to find so promising talents among these 19 assassins.
‘Arcane silver’
With a thought, his silver-coloured sword appeared in his hand, which he placed on the assassin’s throat and said, “In the next life, follow a wise leader.”
‘Slash’
Leo didn’t even give any ti to the assassin as he slit his throat with an emotionless look in his eyes.
‘Ding,
The host killed a rank 4 hero with a ‘Camouflage’ talent
‘Ding,
Talent na:- Camouflage
Effect:- As long as the user doesn’t make any sound, no one will notice his presence.
‘Ding,
Do you want to swallow it?
In the next second, Leo received a series of system notifications in his head.
‘Camouflage? Useless.’
In Leo’s eyes, camouflage was useless as he thought, ‘This ti, I will choose a special talent even if I have to waste a few days.’
Leo could extract talent from others once a year at his current level. So, he didn’t want to pick ‘Camouflage’ and wait for a whole year to swallow another talent.
‘Slash’
‘Leader, save us.’
‘Slash’
‘Please help . I don’t want to die.’
‘Slash’
‘Ding,
The host killed a rank 5 hero with a ‘Dark poison’ talent.
‘Ding,
The host killed a rank 4 hero with a ‘Swift blade’ talent.
‘Ding,
The host killed a rank 5 hero with a ‘Black flash’ talent.
.
.
.
‘Ding,
Do you want to swallow it?
Leo didn’t even raise his brows as he killed one assassin after another in less than a minute.
The assassin begged him and asked their leader to save them; however, their fate of dying under Leo’s sword didn’t change.
At the sa ti, Leo received the system notifications regarding the extraction of the talents of the assassins he killed.
However, not a single talent piqued Leo’s interest as he shook his head as didn’t bother to waste his breath on them.
Soon, except for Clens, the leader of the ‘Hidden assassins’ rcenary squad, everyone was killed right in front of his eyes, and there was nothing he could do to save them.
“So, will you tell who sent you after Julia?”
Walking toward Clens, Leo asked Clens with a carefree attitude.
‘Kacha’
“Die…you cold b*stard.”
The mont Leo moved close to him, Clens’s feet ca out of the ground as he pierced a dagger that appeared out of thin air into Leo’s heart.
‘Huh?’
Leo was surprised by Clens’s sudden attack; however, his reflexes were fast as he activated his talent ‘Combustion’.
‘Boom’
Even though Clens was a rank 7 hero, he was very close to Leo. So, he was blasted into a tree in the distance.
“Cough…you have a fire type talent.”
Nevertheless, that attack didn’t kill Clens; instead, it injured him severely.
‘Swoosh’
“I thought I am the cold b*astard, but it looks like you are way colder than .”
Leo scoffed at Clens as he appeared in front of him instantly as he said those words.
Even though Clens could move his feet out of the ground without any problem, he made everyone, including Leo, believe that he could not move his feet.
If he had moved earlier, he might have saved a few of his squad mbers; however, Clens chose to sacrifice them and waited for Leo to co closer to him so that he could launch a sneak attack on him.
Even though Leo was cold, he would never sacrifice his friends or subordinates like Clens.
“Who cares about those b*stards anyway….Keke.”
Clens chuckled as he continued speaking in a weak voice, “All that matters to is….killing you.”
“Haunting of Ecstasy.”
As soon as he finished his words, Clens used his talent.
‘Aargh’
In the next mont, Leo clutched his head and groaned in pain.
“For the next two minutes, you will experience hellish pain that will make you beg to kill you…Keke.”
Clens continued his eerie laughter as he looked at Leo, groaning in pain.
