Defeating a supreme-ranked Zephyr Eagle was already out of reach for Leo, and now five more supreme-ranked Zephyr Eagles landed beside that first Zephyr Eagle.
‘Is this the end?’
Leo was racking his brain; however, there was no way he could survive by fighting six-supreme ranked Zephyr Eagles.
“It is my Nth time hearing such excuses from you two. So stop slacking and start the search.”
However, the first Eagle Captain slapped the rank 9 eagles with his wing before ordering them to start the search.
“Yes, Captain.”
Without wasting any time, the two rank 9 zephyr eagles flew away, heaving a sigh of relief.
The Zephyr Gaint Eagle was strict; if someone slacks during important missions, they would be severely punished. In some cases, the punishment might end up with death.
Therefore, when their captain asked them to leave, they didn’t waste any time, fearing that the other eagle captains might punish them.
‘What the….I nearly got killed by coming out of the marsh just now.’
When he saw the first eagle captain sending away the rank 9 eagles, Leo could not help but be covered in sweat.
‘I just need to wait until these supreme-ranked eagles fly away from here.’
Nevertheless, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and waited for the supreme-ranked zephyr eagles to leave.
“Why are you here?”
After his subordinates left, the first eagle captain asked the remaining eagle captains.
“His majesty changed his mind. So we have to regroup with the Five Eagle Generals. Also, as soon as he finds the wild human, we must kill him and bring the Heir back to his majesty.”
“Huh? What made him change his mind?”
The first eagle captain asked with a surprised look in its eyes.
“According to the information we got, the spider queen is done for. That wild human destroyed all the eggs and the spiderlings. Moreover, all the level 1 and level 2 spider captains were also killed by the same wild human.”
“What? That wild human is that powerful?”
The first eagle captain was shocked because, according to the spider queen, the wild human’s strength was only at rank 9 hero.
In which world could a rank 9 hero kill a single level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders? Not to mention, the wild rank 9 human hero killed more than a dozen supreme-ranked spider captains.
‘Screech’
“Let’s go and regroup with the eagle generals then.”
Since the wild human they were searching for could kill supreme-ranked beast heroes, they didn’t dare to search alone and formed teams with an eagle general as their group leader.
‘Screech’
While letting out screeches, the five eagle captains followed the first eagle captain and flew into the distance.
‘Phew…that was a close one. All I need to do now is wait until I can use my [Space Manipuation].’
Even after they left, Leo didn’t come out of the marsh as he had already decided that his current place was the best place to hide.
Although Leo said he didn’t mind risking his life to become powerful, he was not reckless to die.
There should be at least a little hope that he could win; otherwise, it would be him seeking his death.
….
Time continued to pass as Leo didn’t come out of the marsh even though a few rank 9 beasts flew above him.
‘Since I have time, I will just check out my new talents and skills.’
Leo was bored hiding in the marsh. Therefore, he opened the user interface and realized something, “I have upgraded seven basic talents into elite talents. Now, I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter].”
It happened earlier; however, Leo was surrounded by the Spider Queen and her generals. So, he didn’t have time to check them.
‘Ding,
1) Heavenly Flaming Lion transformation (level 4).
2) Battle-axe mastery (level 4)
3) Wyvern Wings (level 8)
4) One strike (level 8)
5) Water resistance (level 8)
6) Water control (level 8)
7) Dual strike (level 8)
These were the seven talents he had awakened and upgraded after his [Talent Promoter] upgraded to level 3.
Since Leo received most of these talents from [Absolute Devour], they were automatically upgraded from level 4 to level 8 when he devoured the corpses.
‘The talents I awaken by ‘Talent Swallowing Abiltiy’ and in other ways, they can’t be upgraded by the [Absolute Devour]. So, I need a high-level [Talent Promoter].’
Leo muttered, ‘Moreover, I have already collected millions of [Promote points] and even 26 [Supreme Promote Points]. So, it is worth focusing on the [Talent Promoter].’
‘Ding,
The host has upgraded seven basic talents into elite talents using [Talent Promoter].
‘Ding,
The host has more than one million [Promote points].
‘Ding,
The host has met the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter] to level 4. Do you want to upgrade it?
Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo’s head, and he didn’t think much before confirming the upgrade.
‘Ding,
One million [Promote Points] are deducted.
‘Ding,
The talent [Talent Promoter] has successfully upgraded to level 4.
Just like before, it didn’t take much time for the system to upgrade to his [Talent Promoter].
‘Good. It’s time to check.’
Leo was curious about the level 4 [Talent Promoter] and checked its details.
‘Ding,
Talent name:- Talent Promoter (Level 4).
Talent Grade:- Special.
Effect: 1) It can upgrade a single Elite class talent into Advanced class talent (Level 7) at once.
Note: Once an elite talent is selected under this option, the host can’t upgrade the other talents until he upgrades that talent to level 7.
2) The host can upgrade all basic class talents into Elite class talents.
Upgrade requirements:
1) 100000 [Promote Points].
2) Upgrade a single special elite class talent into Advanced class talent.
‘Huh? Excellent.’
Looking at the information, Leo revealed a slight smile.
‘Looks like I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 5 today.’
His eyes were focused on the ‘Upgrade Requirements’ because he wanted to know how to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to the next level.
‘Upgrade [Heavenly Flaming Lion transformation].’
However, in the next second, Leo frowned when he received a system notification.
