Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 32 [Absolute Penetration]



“How is this possible? How did you turn them into undead beings?”

Among the countless undead beings standing in front of Leo, the mountain fiend king’s eyes were entirely focused on five giant undead monsters.

From a look, the mountain fiend king could tell that those five undead monsters were all rank 9 monster kings when they were alive.

Alongside these five undead rank 9 monster kings, there were another five undead rank 9 heroes.

Those ten were the pinnacle beings below the rank 10 or Supreme rank.

Other than those ten beings, there were many rank 8 heroes, beasts, and monsters, making the monster fiend king unconsciously shiver.

‘Who is he?’

‘How can a rank 5 hero have such powerful beings as undead beings?’

‘Did I meet a monster in human clothing?’

‘Can I even escape from him?’

The mountain fiend king’s head was filled with questions as it was trying to find a way to survive.

“Since you are going to become one of them anyway, I will answer your question.”

Leo’s undead beings have already killed the hundreds of mountain fiends that surrounded him earlier. So, he casually walked towards the mountain fiend king with a calm smile.

The mountain fiend king didn’t say anything as it continued to think of a way to escape while listening to Leo’s words.

“As long as I give the killing blow, I can summon them back from the dead using my talent ‘Call of the Undead’.”-.

Leo answered the mountain fiend king’s question as he had already reached closer to it.

“What did you say? You killed them?”

The mountain fiend king shivered after hearing Leo’s reply, and it stopped thinking about escaping because it felt useless to even think about it.

“I will acknowledge you as my master and become your servant. Please, don’t turn me into an undead.”

The mountain fiend king bent all its four legs and begged Leo.

“Don’t worry, I am not going to turn you into an undead.”

Leo shook his head as he assured the mountain fiend king.

“Thank you, Master. I will serve….”

[Arcane silver’s skill – Absolute penetration]

‘Puchi’

Before the mountain fiend king could happily finish its words, Leo activated the special skill of his sword ‘Arcane silver’ and pierced the mountain fiend king’s skull.

When the humans with support-type talents like forging or weaponsmithing reached advanced class, the weapons they refined might unlock the skills.

Even though the chances were less, it was not impossible, and Leo’s ‘Arcane silver’ was one of those weapons with skills.

‘Puchi’

‘Thud’

“I don’t want to waste my energy in turning you into an undead.”

Pulling out his sword, Leo replied to the mountain fiend king that fell to the ground with disbelief in its eyes.

‘Ding,

The host killed a rank 8 Mountain fiend king.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully killing hundred rank 8 monster kings until now.

‘Ding,

The host is rewarded with a level 8 ‘Talent upgrade crystal’.

Note:- The rewards items can’t be gifted to others.

Soon, Leo received a series of system notifications that made him nod his head.

‘Looks like I have all the luck in the world after coming to my home city.’

Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile when looking at the reward.

‘A ‘God ruins’ will be opening soon.’

‘I found a fragment of the God stone.’

‘And now, I received a level 8 ‘Talent upgrade crystal’. If it is not luck then what is it?’

Leo muttered to himself as he thought about the good things happening to him after returning to the Phirie city.

A talent upgrade crystal is a rare item that started appearing along with the appearance of the monsters and the mutated beasts.

As its name says, it can help a human upgrade his talent by one level.

As for a level 8 crystal, it could upgrade a level 7 talent into a level 8 talent.

“Everyone, you can feast on them.”

Once he killed the mountain fiend king, Leo didn’t bother to send his undead beings again; instead, he ordered them to feast on the corpses of the mountain fiend king and the mountain fiends.

‘Rrr’

The undead beings don’t have much intelligence as they only follow Leo’s orders and start munching on the corpses.

‘While they enjoy their feast, I will upgrade my ‘Combustion’ to rank 8.’

Even though Leo could use the fragment of the God stone to increase the level of his talent, he felt it would be a waste to use it to increase the level of one of his talents.

Because Leo would receive the talent upgrade crystals from the system on a regular basis, and since they could not be given to his family or friends, he decided to store the Fragment of the god stone.

However, he could use the level 8 ‘Talent upgrade crystal’ without hesitation.

‘Ding,

The host used a level 8 ‘Talent upgrade crystal’ to increase the level of his ‘Combustion’ talent.

‘Ding,

The host’s combustion has reached level 8.

It only took a few seconds as Leo’s talent was upgraded from level 7 to level 8 without any issues.

‘Let’s see how powerful it became.’

With a thought, Leo checked the information on his upgrade talent.

‘Ding,

Talent name:- Combustion (Level 8)

Effect:- Everything within 5 kilometers of the user can be reduced to ashes. The user can control the distance.

‘The range of the flames increased from 1 kilometer to 5 kilometers. As expected of a fire-type talent, its destruction increases with its level.’

Leo was only focused on the radius, and after seeing that it increased by five times, Leo nodded his head calmly.

“Since everything is taken care of, it’s time to claim the rewards.”

He took the ‘Greedy mountain bandits’ mission for their treasury, and since the mountain bandits and the mountain fiends were killed, Leo could peacefully search for the treasury.

‘I am very sure all the treasures will be inside the cave.’

Looking at the cave from which the mountain fiend king came out earlier, Leo decided to enter it.

‘Th..these are….’

After entering the cave, Leo saw numerous bones, and he was sure that they belonged to the humans.

“From when did it start eating humans, to have these many bones in the entrance of the cave itself?”

Leo was sure that the mountain fiend king had been feating on humans for a long time.

‘I wonder how many humans got trapped by the fake mission details.’

Leo didn’t feel any pity for those humans who got eaten by the mountain fiend king because he knew the new world’s rules very well.

‘If you are not strong enough, get ready to die at any moment.’

With that thought in his head, Leo continued his walk deeper into the cave and finally reached the place he was searching for.

“Is this a Bandit’s treasury or a City treasury?”

Leo was shocked after seeing the items gathered by the mountain fiend king and the mountain bandits.
