In Mr. White’s residence,
“What have I ever done to you?”
Mr. White was looking at the Talent Swallowing Hero in front of him and asked with an anxious look.
“What have you done? Hmm..let me think…because I didn’t like you.”
‘Slash’
As soon as he finished his words, Leo slashed off the old man’s throat without wasting any time.
‘Ding,
The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained a [Supreme Promote Point].
‘Ding,
The host has enough [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade his talent [Call of the Undead] using the [Talent Promoter].
‘Ding,
Please unlock an additional effect for the [Talent Promoter] using the [Supreme Promote Points].
‘Ding,
The host completed the mission ‘Eliminate the Black Suits’. Please wait for some time to get the rewards.
Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo’s head that pleasantly surprised him.
‘What? I can upgrade my Supreme-grade talents using the [Talent Promoter]?’
Even though Leo knew he could upgrade his supreme-grade talents using the [Supreme Promote Points], he didn’t expect to upgrade them with his level 7 [Talent Promoter].
‘Ding,
?[0)??? The host can spend 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] to unlock an additional effect for the [Talent Promoter] that can upgrade the supreme grade talents.
‘Excellent.’
Leo has more than 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] that he gained from killing the supreme grade beings in the Beastnet.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate and unlocked the additional effect for the [Talent Promoter].
‘If I wait for the [Talent Promoter] to become a supreme-grade talent, it would take ages. So, it is better to have the effect of upgrading the supreme-grade talents.’
This was the thought in Leo’s head as he spent 10000 [Supreme Promote Points] to upgrade a special effect for the [Talent Promoter].
‘Ding,
10000 [Supreme Promote Points] has been consumed, and a new effect for the [Talent Promoter] has been unlocked.
‘Ding,
Additional Effect: The user can see the upgrade requirements and upgrade a supreme-grade talent.
Note: Once a supreme grade talent is added to the list, the user has to complete all the upgrade requirements for that talent.
‘Ding,
Since there is only one supreme-grade talent, the [Call of the Undead] will be added to the additional effect of the [Talent Promoter] by default.
‘Ding,
Upgrade requirements for [Call of the Undead] to level 2 supreme-grade:
1) 1000 [Supreme Promote Points], (5999 / 1000).
2) Use the talent 100 times, (1 / 100).
Once again, a series of system notifications appeared in Leo’s head, and looking at the upgrade requirements, Leo nodded in understanding.
‘Using the talent 100 times is not a problem for me.’
Leo was already expecting there would be such requirements. So, he was not surprised or shocked.
‘Ding,
The mission ‘Eliminate the Black Suits’ rewards have been issued.
‘Ding,
The 25 million hero coins are sent to the host’s storage ring, and the information about Joel and the secret organization will be sent to the host’s head when he is ready.
‘I am ready. Just send them.’
For him, knowing about Joel’s whereabouts was the most important thing than anything else.
So, when he heard the system notifications, Leo stopped thinking about the [Talent Promoter] as he directly asked the system to send the information.
‘Ding,
Transferring the information about Joel and the secret organization behind Mr. White. Please bear the pain if there is any.
Following a system notification, there was a sharp pain in his head; however, Leo gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
‘I have to endure it no matter how painfil it is.’
After a couple of minutes, Leo’s head was filled with information about Joel and the secret organization.
‘Huh? He also became a slave even though he was an awakened one.’
Leo focused on the information relating to Joel, and he was surprised that Joel had remained as a slave.
When they were 10, unlike Leo, Joel had awakened a talent. Even though it was not a special talent, it was a good attacking-type talent. So, they were separated at first.
‘Even though we used to meet from time to time, he completely hid the enslavement seal. And, since I didn’t have the system at that time, there was no way for me to figure out he was an enslaved one.’
Leo thought Joel was having a slightly better life than him because he was an awakened one, unlike Leo, who was an unawakened one.
‘Before I got the system, he stopped visiting me. After that, there was no information about him as though he disappeared into thin air.’
From the information the system sent to his head, Leo learns that Mr. White has seen Joel once before coming to Phirie City. Mr. White didn’t even know Joel’s name; all he knew about Joel was that he was a slave.
‘Is it a coincidence? Why would Joel be in Evergreen City?’
After learning about the whereabouts of Joel, Leo frowned because he had stayed in Evergreen City for nearly a year; however, he had never heard from or seen Jeol.
‘I think I have to swallow a talent that can let me see through others’ memories. Because, he might be using another name and even if I torture everyone in the Evergreen City, I might not be able to find him.’
Leo thought about why he might not have heard about Joel in his one-year stay in Evergreen City and decided to swallow a particular talent.
‘Anyway, I have to get out of here and think of a way to get such a talent before entering Evergreen City.’
Leo looked at the corpse on the ground and devoured it using the [Absolute Devour].
‘Arcane Silver, go and devour all the weapons and the artfiacts in this weapons store.’
After devouring Mr. White’s corpse, Leo didn’t leave; instead, he entered the [Supreme Market] to let his sword have a feast.
As for him, he didn’t forget to take Mr. White’s storage ring and store all the pills and other items before returning to his manor.
‘Ding,
The host’s weapon ‘Arcane Silver’ has consumed enough weapons and artifacts to achieve a breakthrough in its grade.
