On the tallest mountain in the Zephyr Mountains region, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King, the Flaming Lion, and Leo stood facing each other.
The Zephyr Gaint Eagle King was huge with sharp claws and beak. The wingspan of the Eagle King would be more than 20 meters in length.
“You want the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit?”
After Fury explained the reason for his visit, Riseth looked at Leo and asked, “Is it for this wild human?”
Since the Flaming Lion King was a fire-type beast hero, he could not use the earth-type treasure like Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit.
Hence, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King could guess it must be for the Leo who protected the Heir.
“Yes.”
Fury nodded and said, “Since you dare to kidnap my son, why don’t you apologize to me properly?”
“I…I…apologize for doing such a thing. It was because of the Spider Queen who cast her spell and the Terra Bull Tyrant who forced me to join in their plan.”
Riseth didn’t dare to make the Flaming Lion King request the fruit for the second time as he directly apologized and ordered one of the Eagle Generals to bring the fruit.
‘Swoosh’
‘Thud’
“What did you say?”
Suddenly, the Terra Bull Tyrant came out of the Beast Storage Device and scoffed at Riseth.
“Sutin…how did you…where did you come from?”
Riseth was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Terra Bull Tyrant.
“He had told everything about who orchestrated the kidnap of my son.”
Even though the Terra Bull Tyrant looked evil, it was only his appearance. Other than his strong body, he was just a dumb-headed bull that was used by the two other bestial rulers.
“Anyway, since you have already apologized, I will let you slide it this time; however, if you repeat it, I don’t mind erasing your entire race.”
Currently, Fury might be bound by an oath; however, the moment any of these bestial rulers try something funny, he would no longer be bound by it.
At that time, there would be a massacre of an entire race.
“Thank you, Fury. I will no longer sway by the Spider Queen’s words and focus on increasing my strength for the next world assessment.”
Riseth hurriedly thanked Fury and promised not to try what he did once again.
He knew the only reason Fury had been patient with them for the last couple of decades was the word assessment.
With more powerful beast heroes, the easier the world assessment will become.
“As long as you know it, it’s good.”
Fury nodded; however, he didn’t believe those words completely and decided to keep an eye on the Zephyr Gaint Eagle King.
“As a token of my apology, I will give you this Fragment of God Stone and Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit along with the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit.”
Seeing the doubtful look in Flaming Lion King’s eyes, Zephyr Gaint Eagle King offered two more items to the Flaming Lion King as a token of apology.
Even without any explanation, one could tell that the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit was for Leo since Fury could not use that fruit either.
As for the Fragment of the God Stone, even though it is useless for the Flaming Lion King, he could give it to his son, who could use it to become a rank 8 beast hero in no time.
“Leo, take them.”
Fury didn’t take them; instead, he asked Leo to take them.
“Yes, Sir Fury.”
Leo was not surprised that Riseth was trying very hard to be as humble as possible in front of the Flaming Lion King.
With a calm look, Leo stepped forward and took two fruits along with the fragment of the God Stone.
“Let’s go.”
Since they got what they came for, there was no longer a need to waste their time in the Zephyr Mountains. So, Fury, Leo, and Sutin left the Zephyr Mountains.
‘This b*stard has become even more arrogant from the last time.’
Seeing the disappearing silhouettes of Fury and others, Riseth cursed Fury for entering his territory and asking for the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit.
‘However, he is too powerful for anyone from this world to take him down.’
The Zephyr Gaint Eagle King sighed and thought, ‘If only I became the chosen one of the four bestial gods, I would have visited the other worlds before the grade 1 world assessment, and I would have been the Unofficial King of the Beastnet.’
Before the first world assessment of the Beastnet, the four bestial gods of the Beastnet chose the Flaming Lion King and sent him to a grade 1 world to train.
And everyone believed the reason behind the Flaming Lion King’s strength was his training in the grade 1 world; however, no one knows how many trials and tribulations he had to cross in that grade 1 world with a strength of level 1 supreme-ranked beast hero.
Therefore, whenever Fury looked at Leo, he saw himself, and he was even willing to offer his help to Leo in becoming strong.
Nevertheless, compared to his past self, Leo was doing much better in the Beastnet with only the strength of the rank 9 human hero.
….
“Leo, do you have any Wind-elemental talent? If so, you can use it since there is no way anyone in my flaming lion race could use it.”
While returning to Emberfields, Fury suggested Leo use the Supreme Innate Wind and Earth Elemental Fruits.
“…”
Leo remained silent because he didn’t want to say.
Leo didn’t have any pure wind-related talents; however, that doesn’t mean he would not awaken them in the coming days.
However, Leo can’t say that to Fury.
“I will make good use of it.”
After thinking for a moment, he decided to be shameless and take another gift from Fury as he promised to make good use of it.
Since he knew that fruit would be useless in the claws of the Flaming Lion King as no one could use it to upgrade or mutate their talents with it.
“Since you have multiple talents, why don’t you use the ‘God of Fragment’ to upgrade them.”
Soon after, Fury also offered the fragment of the God Stone to Leo, giving Leo another surprise.
‘What?’
Leo was surprised as he looked at the Flaming Lion King.
“What? You don’t want it?”
Fury chuckled a little, and before Leo could say anything, he continued, “If you don’t want to, just forget that I offered it to you.”
“I want it.”
Since he had already decided to be shameless, Leo took the fragment of the God Stone.
The thing is, Leo was not in a position to reject items like God Stone, the Fragment of the God Stone of the Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits.
With his [Talent Swallowing Ability] and [Absolute Devour], Leo could have various talents; however, these items would help him get the talents he needed faster, mutate them, and upgrade them.
So, when it comes to those items, Leo didn’t mind becoming shameless and took them without hesitation.
‘I wonder why he is being so generous to me? Is it really for protecting his son?’
Leo wondered about it.
“Do you want to know why I am giving you all these items?”
Suddenly, Fury asked Leo with a slight smile.
