Talent Swallowing Hero

“Isn’t this a beast storage device?”

Looking at the token in her hands, Julia excitedly asked Leo.

Since she spent most of her time reading, Julia remembered seeing it in the books.

“Yes. Since taking a rank 8 mutated beast in the city will attract everyone, it is better to keep her in the beast storage device.”

Leo nodded his head as he explained why she had to use it.

As its name suggests, the Beast storage device was a new invention similar to a storage ring where you could store your mutated beasts.

When he cleared the newly established Manticore territory, Leo found some high-quality beast storage devices.

So, Leo kept them in his storage for future use; however, he didn’t expect he would need them so soon.

“Brother Leo, you are so mysterious that you can pull out the things I need from thin air.”

Julia dropped her blood on the beast storage device as she said those words to Leo.

“Being mysterious is cool, isn’t it?”

Leo revealed a slight smile as he asked Julia.

“Haha…yes, it is.”

Julia could not hold back her laughter as she nodded her head._-.

“Brother Leo, I sense another experience orb enter into my body.”

Amidst her laughter, Julia suddenly revealed a shocked look for a moment before becoming excited.

That’s right! She was excited because it was a good thing for her.

Moreover, Julia knew the exact reason why she once again received the experience orb, and it was because of Kira’s breakthrough.

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, ten minutes passed,

‘Screech’

It took ten minutes for Kira to open her eyes which brightly shone as she released an excited screech.

‘Looks like Kira finished her breakthrough into rank 8.’

From the screech, Leo could tell Kira had become a rank 8 mutated beast; however, his focus was on Julia.

‘Ding,

Potential:- 90 percent / 100 percent.

‘She still needs 10 percent of experience to become a rank 7 hero.’

Leo was satisfied with the effect of the ‘Human-beast unity pill’ as he silently thought, ‘It was the right decision to partner up Julia with Kira.’

There were two reasons why Leo partnered Juila with Kira. They were:-

1) When Julia is in danger, she can summon Kira to protect her. If Vladimir comes out to protect her openly, people would misunderstand Julia for being a Shadow vampire’s slave.

2) Since Kira was already a rank 7 mutated beast and Leo was planning to help her with a fragment of God stone, Julia would benefit a lot because of the ‘Human-beast unity pill’s effects.

‘With Kira around Julia, there is no need for Vladimir to come out of the shadows.’

Nevertheless, Leo was not planning to cancel Vladimir’s mission because Kira could do nothing in front of multiple rank 8 heroes or a single rank 9 hero.

“Julia, you will become an advanced hero soon.”

Leo encouraged Julia as he stood up from the ground and said, “It’s getting dark. Let’s return to the city.”

Since they had completed their goal of earning money, there was nothing for them to do in the wilderness.

So, they prepared to go back to the city and were ready for the premium auction.

‘Screech’

“It’s time to show you my speed.”

Soon, they mounted the huge eagle’s back as they flew towards the Phirie city at an incredible speed.

…..

In front of Phirie city’s outer gate,

“So, this is the Phirie city. The wall looks too shabby.”

“I feel the same.”

“I wonder whether they will pay us what they promised?”

Two young men and a young woman looked at the walls of the Phirie city and commented.

They were wearing clothes made up of mutated beasts and two long blades on their backs.

“Identify yourself before entering the city.”

The Watcher didn’t like their comments; however, they looked powerful. So, he could only ask them for their ids.

“We are the trio of ‘Ethereal blades’ and we are invited by the family head Gregor.”

The young man who looked like their leader replied to the watch in a rough tone.

“Ethereal blade mercenary squad? Welcome to the Phirie city. Someone from the Cloudriver family has been waiting for your arrival.”

The Watcher shivered a little when he heard their squad name and hurriedly guided them into the city.

“We are from the ‘Silent beasts mercenary squad’. We are invited by the Icefeather family.”

Just as a trio of the ‘Ethereal blades mercenary squad’ walked a few steps, a female voice stopped them in their steps.

“Silent beasts mercenary squad? Please welcome to Phirie city.”

The Watcher turned his head to see a young woman and three young men in their early twenties, just like the trio of the Ethereal blades.

Watcher welcomed them too without wasting any time as he asked them to follow him into the city.

Nodding their heads, the ‘Silent Beasts’ mercenary squad members followed behind the Watcher along with the trio of the Ethereal blades mercenary squad.

‘Wink’

As they walked into the city, the members of the two mercenary squads secretly communicated with each other.

Soon, both the squads met with the representative from the families that invited them and left with them.

“Looks like the three families invited the three famous young mercenary squads for the sake of ‘God ruins’.”

“Looks like that.”

“I wonder how many will come out alive from it.”

“Among the three mercenary squads, I feel the Golden Gaints mercenary squad is powerful. So, I think the Ambermane family will benefit a lot from the ‘God ruins’.”

“I don’t think so. The city leader will be sending his son and daughter into the ‘God ruins’. Do you really think these three families will have any chance to get benefit from the God ruins just because they hired some young merceanries?”

Soon, a few watchers gathered around as they discussed the ‘God ruins’, Mercenary squads, and all other things to pass their boredom.

….

Bandit mountain,

In the cave where Leo found the hero coins, two rank 9 heroes wearing black suits stood with anxious looks.

“This is bad.”

“There is no sign of a mountain bandit or the mountain fiend or most improtantly, there is not a single Hero coin here.”

“Do you think they betrayed the master?”

“It’s not possible. I heard the mountain fiend king is master’s slave and controls the mountain fiends and the mountain bandits. So, betrayal is impossible.”

“Then, what should we do now?”

“What else? Let’s inform the master what we saw here.”

“But, is it really okay? If we say that his entire five years’ treasure disappeared out of thin air, he might beat us to death.”

“What else can we do? Let’s go.”

The two rank 9 heroes were not in a good mood as they rushed out of the cave and traveled towards Phirie city.
