‘Wait a second….that battle axe.’
From a distance, Theodore, who was watching Leo and Gorilla, was shocked to see the battle-axe in Leo’s hands as he instantly recognised it.
‘Isn’t it the same battle axe that the Talent Swallowing Hero wielded it during the monster invasion?’
How could he not recognize the battle that he planned to steal?
Not only was it a quasi-supreme ranked weapon, but just from a look, one could tell how powerful it was to be able to help a rank 9 hero kill a level 1supreme-ranked hero.
‘Why is he holding it….[Teleportation]….[Space Manipulation]…..’
Various thoughts flashed in Theodore’s head as he looked at Leo and the battle axe and finally concluded, ‘So, he is the Talent Swallowing Hero that is wanted by all the city leaders and the leaders of the secret organizations.’
‘I need to escape from here.’
This was the only thought in Theodore’s head as he tried to escape; however, he had already spent so much of his energy in maintaining the Dark Domain to stop Leo from running away.
‘I wanted to stop him from escaping but it is now stopping me from escaping.’
Theodore bitterly smiled as he stopped trying and looked at Leo with a bitter smile on his face.
‘No… I can’t die here like this. I have to think of a way to survive.’
Soon, Theodore started racking his brain to find a way to escape from Leo.
…..
‘Puchi’
On the other hand, Leo pulled the battle axe from Gorialla’s chest, which soon transformed into his human form.
‘Ding,
The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained one [Supreme Promote Point].
‘Ding,
The host’s [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy] is still under cooldown and can’t retrieve any talents from the target’s body.
As soon as he pulled the battle axe out, he received the system notifications regarding his kill.
‘System, if I use the special effect of the Fragment of the God stone to reset the cooldown, will it affect me in unlocking the new system ability?’
Leo was actually interested in one of the talents that Gorilla has. Since he had two Fragments of the God Stones, Leo thought of using their special effect to retrieve his talent.
‘Ding,
It will not affect the host in any way.
‘Excellent’
Even though he already guessed that it wouldn’t affect him in buying the new system ability using the Fragments of the God Stones, he wanted to be sure before using it.
Leo preferred to have a new system ability over new talent.
‘Ding,
The host’s [Talent Swallowing Ability] is out of cooldown. The host can extract and swallow talent.
Soon, his system ability was available for him to use.
‘Ding,
Please select one talent to extract from the target.
1) Armoured Gorilla Transformation (Level 1, supreme grade).
2) Inhumane Strength (Level 7, mortal grade).
Upon activating his ability, the system projected two talents before him and asked him to pick one.
Even though Gorilla had two talents, only one of them reached supreme grade because he mostly used that talent as it gave him access to a lot of skills.
Nevertheless, the second talent was also at a reasonable level because Gorilla was only 25 years old and at that age, having a level 7 talent puts him into the category of geniuses.
‘Extract [Inhuman Strength].’
That’s right! He chose a normal talent and gave up on the special talent like [Armoured Beast Transformation].
When Leo assessed the information about Gorilla, he had his eyes on that talent. Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to select that talent.
‘Ding,
Extracting the talent [Inhuman Strength]. Please wait.
‘Ding,
Extraction completed. Please swallow the extracted talent.
Since it was a normal talent, it didn’t take much time before the extraction finished.
‘Time to swallow’.
Leo took the crystal floating in mid-air before him and swallowed it without hesitation.
‘Ding,
The host awakened a new talent [Inhuman Strength]. Please check more information in [Hero’s Interface].
‘Finally, I got the talent I am interested in.’
Leo could not help but revealed a slight smile and silently thought,
‘I didn’t encounter someone with the same talent as Mikhael. I wonder how he would feel if they knew that now I have the talent that he was so proud of.’
If a regular hero were offered [Armoured Gorilla Transformation] or [Inhuman Strength], they would not hesitate to take the first talent, which was a special one because it could give access to many skills of the Armoured Gorilla.
However, for Leo, it was not as interesting as the normal talent [Inhuman Strength] because he could not use his other talents after using a transformation talent.
‘Moreover, I already have two special transformation talents. So, it is better to have a normal talent that could be used well with other talents.’
As soon as he awakened the [Inhuman Strength], Leo felt his body become a lot stronger; however, it was not the actual effect of the talent.
‘Since it is an active talent, I have to activate it to experience the tempeorory increase in my strength.’
Leo glanced at the effects of level 1 [Inhuman Strength], which could increase his overall strength by 10 percent.
‘Ding,
The host spent 1313000 [Promote Points] and upgraded the [Inhuman Strength] from level 1 to 7.
‘Ding,
Upon activation of the talent, the host’s battle prowess will be increased by two times.
‘Now, I can kill the supreme-ranked beings more easily.’
Since Leo’s physical strength was already much higher than the regular rank 9 heroes because of his large number of talents and skills, it would become even more powerful if it was multiplied by two.
“Now, it is time to take care of another b*stard.”
After taking care of Gorilla, Leo turned his head to Theodore, who was also looking back at him with mixed emotions on his face.
It was not hard to notice the emotions like fear, anxiety, helplessness, and horror on Theodore’s face.
With each step Leo took toward him, those emotions became easier for Leo to notice.
“Now, it’s time for you to know why I want you dead.”
