Chapter 173 [Bonus Chapter] Upgrading and Merging

Leo only thought of gaining a new title from killing the Zephyr eagles; however, he didn’t have any plans of killing the Flaming Lions.

It was not because he was scared of the Flaming Lion King; instead, he had other plans for the Flaming Lions.

‘If I kill the flaming lions, my other plan would be ruined. So, it is better to not mess with the Flaming lions.’

After upgrading the [Heavenly Flaming Lion Transformation] to level 7, it unlocked a similar effect as the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation], where he could use additional talents and skills related to the Flaming lions while he was in the Heavenly Flaming Lion Form.

However, Leo didn’t have any plans to kill and devour the flaming lions. So, he was not as excited as he did for the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation].

‘Now, it’s time to merge the skills.’

The system informed him that he had similar skills and talents multiple times. So, it was finally time for him to merge them.

‘Merge the level 8 talents [Single Strike] and [Dual Strike].’

First, he checked his talent list, found two talents that could be merged, and ordered the system to merge them using the third system ability [Talent Merging Ability].

‘Ding,

The two-level 8 talents [Single Strike] and [Dual Strike] merged into a new talent [Triple Strike].

‘Ding,

Talent name: Triple Strike (level 8).

Effect: The user can double his attack power with three back-to-back strikes.

Strike one: 50 percent increase in his attack power.

Strike two: 100 percent increase in his attack power.

Strike three: 200 percent increase in his attack power.

Note: After strike three, the user has to stack the three attacks again to deal 200 percent damage to his enemy.

‘Cool.’

As soon as he merged a new skill, Leo checked the information on it and was satisfied with the upgrade in its effect.

‘Level 8 has already increased 200 percent of my attack power. I wonder how much a level 9 talent will increase my attacking power.’

Leo decided to use this new merged talent 100 times before upgrading it to level 9 and seeing its full power.

‘System, merge these two talents. From the skill section, merge them.’

Soon, Leo didn’t waste time and started merging the remaining talents and skills after checking his user interface.

‘Ding,

Water Control (Level 7) + Water Resistance (Level 7) = Water Manipulation (Level 7).

‘Ding,

Roaring Bull (Level 8)+ Battle Roar (Level 8) = Roaring Battle Bull (Level 8).

‘Ding,

Earth Bomb (Level 8)+ Water Bomb (Level 8) = Dual Elemenental Bomb (Warth and Earth) (Level 8).

‘Ding,

Rock Rain (Level 1) + Terra Storm (Level 1) = Terra Rock Storm (Level 1).

Using the [Talent Merging Ability], Leo merged all the talents and the skills that could be merged without failure.

‘Even though my number of talents and skills have reduced, my overall battle prowess has increased.’

Looking at five newly merged talents and skills, Leo was greatly satisfied.

Whenever Leo merged two skills or talents, the effects of the two skills would be merged and become stronger, just like the [Triple Stirke], where his attack power would be increased by 200 percent.

Previously, his attack power was less than a 100 percent increment at the same level.

‘Ding,

The host upgraded the talents [Earth Stomp] and [Bull Summoner] to level 7 using the [Talent Promoter].

‘Ding,

The host needs to upgrade one more talent to meet the upgrade requirements for [Talent Promoter].

Leo upgraded two talents, and he only needed one more before upgrading the [Talent Promoter] to level 6.

‘In any case, I have to accumulate more talents. So, it would become easier for me to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7.’

Even though he was yet to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 6, Leo already wanted to make preparations for level 7.

Time continued to pass as two hours passed by.

“Mooh”

Finally, an angry bellow resounded in the entire Evergreen Grasslands.

“Who dares to do such an unforgivable thing.”

In the next second, Sutin’s angry voice resounded in all directions as he asked everyone to assemble in front of his majestic den.

Soon, everyone, including Leo and the lion cub, arrived in front of Sutin’s den.

“What were you doing last night? How could you let that happen under your watch?”

By the time they arrived, Leo saw the Terra Bull Tyrant was scolding a group of supreme-ranked terra bulls.

However, they felt wronged because it was the Terra Bull Tyrant who hosted a party for them and as a result, they were unable to do their duty properly.

Nevertheless, they didn’t have the guts to talk back to the Terra Bull Tyrant. Hence, they listened to Sutin’s scolding with a helpless look.

‘Come on. Doubt me. You should doubt me…idiot bull. What’s taking you so long?’

On the other hand, Leo was waiting for the Terra Bull Tyrant to accuse him of killing the rank 1 to 8 terra bulls.

“It must be humans.”

Finally, the terra bull tyrant angrily blamed the humans.

‘That’s right! It’s humans…huh? Wait a second? It’s only a human where did the other humans come from?’

Leo was about to praise that the Terra Bull Tyrant was not as dumb as he thought; however, in the end, the Terra Bull Tyrant was even dumber than he thought.

“Your majesty, we should kill those wild humans. They are becoming bolder and bolder lately.”

“Yes, majesty. Only those wild humans are capable of doing such an unforgivable act.”

Soon, the supreme-ranked terra bull started blaming the wild humans.

Even though they don’t know who killed all the terra bulls below rank 9, they wanted to blame someone, and since the wild humans whose territory is close to the Evergreen Grasslands have some bad blood with them, they blamed the wild humans.

Nevertheless, other than the wild human, the terra bulls were unable to think who was capable of stealthily killing their young generations. So, they decided to wage war on the wild humans.

‘Roar’

“Sutin, where is my son?”

Suddenly, a lion’s roar followed by an anxious voice resounded in the Evergreen Grasslands.
