‘Phew…finally, it’s done.’
The system notifications that Leo had been waiting for rang in his head, making him heave a sigh of relief.
Compared to the excitement that his talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion Transformation] had mutated, Leo was relieved that the scorching pain inside his body had disappeared.
During the last twelve hours, Leo felt like he was in hell. So, he was greatly relieved with the disappearance of that scorching pain.
‘Huf Huf
Leo focused on his breathing first and adjusted it before checking the newly mutated talent.
‘Let’s see what is mutated into.’
The special talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion Transformation] was already so powerful. So, Leo was curious about the changes.
‘Ding,
Talent Name: Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation.
Talent Type: Rare Special Talent.
Effect: The user can transform into a Heavenly Flaming Lion King for one hour with a cooldown of 30 minutes.
Note: Even the flaming lions with multiple levels higher than the user would be suppressed in the presence of the Heavenly Flaming Lion King.
Talent level: Level 9 (Potential: 100/100).
‘Huh? Heavenly Flaming Lion King?’
After the mutation of the talent, Leo could transform into a Heavenly Flaming Lion King, where he could gain more dominance over the other Flaming Lions.
‘Even though I don’t know how powerful this mutated talent will be compared to the [Heavenly Flaming Lion Transformation], it would be much better than the previous one for sure.’
Leo silently thought to himself as he waited for more system notifications.
‘Ding,
The host’s talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation] has reached the peak level 9.
‘Ding,
Please fulfill the following requirements to upgrade it into a Supreme Class Talent.
1) One special upgrade stone or Three advanced upgrade stones.
2) Make at least one rank 9 follower from three different Lion Tribes (0/3).
3) Raise your fame in the Lion-type beasts (500000/100000).
Within no time, two system notifications rang in his head as a holographic screen filled with upgrade requirements appeared in front of him.
‘I already completed one requirement, and I can complete another requirement anytime I want.’
Reading the three upgrade requirements, Leo was pleasantly surprised.
A special upgrade stone was lying around in his storage ring, and Leo could use it without any problem.
As for the fame, Leo’s popularity among the rank 4 to 9 flaming lions shot to the peak overnight because of the Lion Cub.
‘But I still can’t believe my fame is over five hundred thousand among the flaming lions.’
Currently, there was only one lion tribe here, and his entire fame came from it without a doubt. But, on the other hand, there might be around six or seven hundred thousand flaming lions.
Hence, Leo was surprised that he was popular among 90 percent of the entire Flaming Lion race in the Beastnet.
‘Now, I just need to get three Lion-type beast followers.’
Looking at the second upgrade requirement, Leo thought, ‘I think I can get the followers from the flaming lion race if I transform into a Heavenly Flaming Lion King, leaving me with two more beast followers.’
‘As for the remaining two followers, taming them won’t be a problem; however, the problem will be finding them.’
For some reason, Leo could tell there were no other lion tribes other than Flaming Lions. So, he must wait until he returns to his world to find the lion-type monsters in the Uncleared Lands.
‘I can do it. If I find them, I will have my second supreme class talent.’
Leo revealed a slight smile as he slept on the ground.
Even though he still had the corpse refining to do, Leo was tired from enduring the scorching pain for the last 13 hours. So, he decided to rest for a few hours before refining.
…
Next day morning,
“Is it because of the mutated talent? I am feeling a lot more active than before?”
Leo woke with clear eyes in the morning and felt physically very active.
“Let’s try the corpse refining now.”
Besides feeling physically active, Leo was in a good mood and thought he might succeed in refining the corpse in the first attempt today.
[Call of the Undead]
Soon, he placed his hand on the corpse and activated his talent to start the refinement process.
…
‘Sister, can you think of something else? We are just wasting our time by standing here.’
‘Stop whining; I am waiting for my [Prophecy] talent to come out of the cool down so I can use it again before planning our next move. I can use that talent in a couple of hours. So, bear with it.’
‘Okay’
On a mountain, a few kilometers away from the Emberfields, the sister and brother duo had been looking into the Emberfields for the last two days.
They were frustrated that Leo cooped up inside his den the entire time except for one time.
Nevertheless, Aurora was waiting for her talent to come out of the cooldown to use it.
After checking the Prophecy, she could plan her next actions, and that’s how she and her little brother survived for the last decade.
Of course, her other talent [Perfect Camouflage] was also the reason for their survival in the wilderness during the last decade.
Time continued to pass, and two hours passed by in a flash.
“Arlo, protect me.”
As soon as her talent came out of the cooldown, her [Perfect Camauflage] was deactivated as she asked her brother to protect her/
[Prophecy]
Aurora didn’t wait for her brother’s reply and directly used her talent to look into the future.
“Arlo, I can see the hope for our Starlight people.”
After a few minutes, Aurora opened her eyes with great excitement and informed her brother.
“What?”
Arlo was shocked, and soon, he was also excited.
“Before that, we need to do something.”
“What is it?”
“We need to sneak into the treasury again.”
Aurora’s face became serious, and soon, they stopped observing Leo and started working on something important.
…..
In one of the Emberfields’ dens,
‘I can finish it.’
There was a serious look on Leo’s face as the violent movements of the floating corpse in front of him became less violent before staying still.
‘Ding,
The host has successfully refined a corpse into an undead being.
‘Finally, I did it.’
Leo became excited when he heard the system notification.
