In the beginning, when he saw around 100 human supreme-ranked heroes in the [Treasure Land], Leo guessed there would be at least one participant from any one secret organization.
However, when he saw five men in the distance, Leo could not help but reveal an excited smile.
This world is more or less run by secret organizations from shadow and having their information for Leo would make things easier for him in searching for his first Joel.
"Stop talking and focus on the formation."
Four men were excited about catching four powerful-looking lions and talked about their progress in their position in the organization; however, the one who looked like their leader snapped them out of their conversation.
"Yes, brother."
Coming out of their conversation, the four men nodded their heads and made some hand signs.
'Swoosh'
Soon, the barrier around Leo and the lions started shrinking slowly but steadily.
"There is no need for you to worry. You will be knocked out for some time."
"That's right! By the time you wake up, you will become our tamed beasts."
"Don't worry. We promise to take good care of you."
Except for the leader of the group, the remaining four men chuckled while informing the lions caught in their formation.
"There is no need for you to worry. I will take care of this."
Since the three lions have already become his followers, it was his responsibility to protect them when they were in danger.
Hence, he asked them not to worry about it and decided to revert back to his original form.
'Ding,
The host's special talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation] has been upgraded to Supreme grade.
'Ding,
The host's special talent [Mighty Combustion] has been upgraded to Supreme grade.
Suddenly, Leo received two system notifications, making him nod in satisfaction.
'Ding,
The host can use his other talents even when he is in the Lion Form.
'This is what I am waiting for.'
Leo was hoping for this for a while now and when he heard the system notification, he was excited and roared in joy.
[Nether Spectre]
Since the barrier around them was shrinking, Leo didn't bother to check the changes in the newly upgraded talents; instead, he used a merged skill to pass through the barrier without any problem.
"What?"
"How did the lion...wait a second... when did it become a supreme-ranked lion?"
The members of one of the secret organizations were shocked when they saw the flaming lion pass through their formation without any problem.
What's more shocking was that the flaming lion's strength increased from rank 9 to level 1 supreme-ranked in a second.
[Earth Manipulation - Earthquake]
On the other hand, Leo didn't give them any answers or time to react as he used his supreme-ranked [Earth Manpulation].
Cracks appeared on the ground and before the five men could do anything, they fell into those cracks.
'Kacha'
Leo didn't stop there and used his talent to close the cracks in the earth to bury their lower body in the ground.
'Puchi'
To extract the information about the secret organizations, Leo didn't need all five of them as he instantly killed two of them.
'Ding,
The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Do you want to extract the talent [Beast Tamer].
'Ding,
The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero. Do you want to extract the talent [Beast Tamer].
Two system notifications rang in Leo's head which surprised him a little.
'The two men I killed have the same talents?'
Even though having similar talents was not rare, Leo was a little surprised to kill the two men who had the same talent at the same time.
'Let's see what talents the remaining three men have.'
With a curious look, Leo accessed the information on the remaining three men stuck in the ground.
'Ding,
Talent: Beast Tamer.
'Ding,
Talent: Beast Tamer.
'Ding,
Talent: Unique Beast Tamer (Special Talent).
Soon, the full information about the three men appeared in front of Leo; however, he only focused on their talents and was surprised to see everyone had the same talent.
The leader of the five-man team was a special type of Beast Tamer; however, it was more or less the same talent.
'This is...interesting. I have never seen five people having the same talent working together.'
Leo silently muttered to himself as he suddenly thought of something.
'Kacha'
'Swiish'
Since two men from the five-men formation died, the barrier around the three lions cracked and disappeared into thin air.
At the same time, the remaining three men that were half-buried inside the ground coughed mouthfuls of blood.
"Whiskered Werecats, come out and kill it."
"Isolated Drake, you can eat the lion without any hesitation."
"River Wyvern, Dust Ent and Tiger Silme don't hold back your strength. I want that lion dead."
Even though they were half-buried inside the ground, it didn't stop them from summoning their beasts.
'Roar'
'Growl'
In just a few seconds, the entire area was filled with various tamed beasts that roared and growled at Leo before rushing toward him without wasting any time.
Since their masters were so adamant about killing the Flaming Lion, they didn't hold back their strength and used their full strength.
[Heavenly Fire Purgatory]
Even though this skill was supposed to be in cooldown with the upgrade in the talent, the cooldown has been reset.
Despite having other powerful skills, Leo felt it was a cool skill that could easily take care of all the targets that were rushing toward him.
'Boom'
'Boom'
Without any surprise, the incoming tamed beasts of the three men created a series of explosions just like the Lightning Lion.
However, compared to before, the skill [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] was more powerful and each explosion dealt so much damage that the tamed beasts were instantly turned into a crisp.
'Holy...this skill was more powerful than I imagined.'
Leo thought he was already overestimating that skill; however, it always proved him wrong.
'Since I took care of the tamed beasts, it is time to have a good chat with them.'
Soon, Leo reverted back to the human as he slowly walked toward the three half-buried men.
"What? You are that human?"
"Wait a second...so, it was not a glitch that you have so many treasure points."
They recognized that the human was none other than Leo who has so many treasure points.
Earlier, they noticed the huge number of treasure points above Flaming Lion's head; however, they felt there were some errors in the number.
During the last two days, the treasure points above the participants' heads were experiencing some kind of glitch. Therefore, they considered Leo's 40 million treasure points as a glitch.
However, when they saw the flaming lion transform into Leo, they realized it was not a glitch.
[Nether Domain]
"Yes, shall we have some good chat?"
After activating his supreme-ranked talent to weaken the three men further, Leo asked with an evil smile.
"No, let's not."
Nevertheless, the leader of the group shook his head and rejected.
"What about you two? Are you going to tell which secret organization you belong to?"
Leo was not angry at the leader as he had his ways to make them talk; however, before he used them, Leo asked the other two while putting the Blood-coloured mask on his face.
"W-we belong to the 'League of Beast Masters'."
