Talent Swallowing Hero

Inside the [God Ruins],

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully clearing the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins].

‘Ding,

The rewards from the [God Ruins] are:

1) Fragments of the God Stones x 4.

2) Advanced Talent Upgrade Stones x 10.

3) Elite Talent Upgrade Stones x 20.

4) Basic Talent Upgrade Stones x 50.

5) Level 1 Supreme upgrade Stone x 1.

.

.

.

10) Special Advanced Upgrade Stone x 1.

With the help of the information about the [God Ruins], Leo cleared it in no time and after he received the last reward from the [God Ruins], the system projected all the rewards he had gained.

‘It looks like I am quite lucky to get four Fragments of the God Stones.’

Among the ten types of items he received from the [God Ruins], the Fragments of the God Stones were the most valuable for him followed by the fifth and tenth items.

‘Except for these three items, I will give the remaining rewards to my citizens and followers.’

For Leo, whether it was basic resources or supreme resources, he wouldn’t reject any of them as he had enough followers and citizens that were growing rapidly.

‘Mooh’

‘Mooh’

The Nocturnal Demon Bull and the Dark Lightning Bull bellowed at Leo who was checking out his rewards from the [God Ruins] to let him know their presence.

“Except for the Fragments of the God Stones, there is nothing useful for you.”

Of course, Leo didn’t forget about the two bulls that were quietly following him as Leo cleared the Supreme-ranked [God Ruins].

“Yes, there is nothing useful for us; however…”

The two supreme-ranked bulls were shocked by how easily the human in front of them could kill the Supreme-ranked monsters and beasts inside the [God Ruins].

Therefore, they were more respectful than before as he slowly asked about something.

“Even those Fragments of the God Stones were not much use for you, the supreme-ranked mutated beasts.”

However, before they could finish their words, Leo could tell what they wanted. Hence, he cut them off in the middle.

“…”

“…”

If they had not witnessed Leo’s battle prowess, they might have fought with Leo; however, when they heard Leo’s words, the two bulls remained silent.

What Leo said was the truth as it was a known fact that the Fragments of the God Stones were invaluable treasures for rank 7 heroes.

As the hero rank of a human or beast or monster increases, the value of the Fragment of the God Stones decreases.

A rank 9 hero can increase the potential of his talent by 10 percent with the help of the Fragment of the God Stones whereas the Supreme-ranked hero might not be able to increase the potential of his talent by one percent.

On the other hand, these Fragments of the God Stones were valuable for Leo because not only could he unlock new system abilities but he could also speed up the upgrade time of his system.

Therefore, Leo had no intention of giving the Fragments of the God Stones to his family or followers, not to mention to the two bulls that he met a few minutes back.

“Exit”

After storing all the rewards from the [God Ruins], Leo exited the [God Ruins] with the two bulls.

“Thanks for broadening our horizons, Sir Human.”

“We will take our leave.”

Since the [God Ruins] were already cleared, there was nothing the two supreme-ranked bulls could do other than go back to find another way to grow stronger before the World Assessment.

Just like how humans would be rewarded depending on their contribution for successfully passing the World Assessment, the monsters and the beasts would also be rewarded depending on how many humans and how much damage they have done to successfully invade the world.

To survive, not only humans but even the monsters and the mutated beasts have to continuously strengthen in their god-forsaken world.

“Wait a second.”

However, Leo stopped them as he had other plans for them.

“Sir Human?”

The two bulls stopped in their tracks as they turned around and looked at Leo.

“Are you willing to become my followers?”

Leo didn’t waste his time beating around the bush in front of the dumb bulls as he directly came to the main point.

“Even though you have enough strength, once the World Assessment starts, your strength would be nothing in front of the monsters that would be coming through the portals.”

Before they could say anything, Leo continued to say, “As long as you swear your loyalty to me, I will once again make you the natives of this world.”

“Really? You can do that?”

The two bulls were surprised when they heard Leo’s offer.

The two bulls were originally the native of the world; however, after they were mutated into the Nocturnal Demon Bull and the Dark Lightning Bull, they were no longer natives.

Instead, they were the mutated beasts whose status was the same as those monsters that poured out of the portals.

“But, isn’t it impossible to do that? How can you do that?”

However, as they remembered the discussions of the mutated beasts from the past, the two bulls asked Leo with some doubt.

Generally, swearing loyalty to humans won’t change their status from non-natives to natives. Hence, they asked how Leo could do that.

Even though they learned it was impossible in the past, hearing Leo’s words, they believed.

“Do you believe my words? If so, swear your loyalty and I will keep my promise.”

However, Leo didn’t bother to explain anything as he asked them whether they could swear their loyalty to him or not.

“Yes”

The two bulls looked at Leo for a moment before nodding their heads.

‘Looks like my special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer] is working.’

Leo was not surprised by the two bulls’ reply as he revealed a slight smile and gave full credit to his special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer].

‘Ding,

The Nocturnal Demon Bull and Dark Lightning Bull swore their loyalty to the host.

‘Ding,

One of the upgrade requirements for the [Mighty Terra Bull Transformation] is progressed.

‘Ding,

Tame bull-type beings: (3/5).

1) Terra Minotaur Tyrant.

2) Dark Lightning Bull.

3) Nocturnal Demon Bull.

‘Ding,

Note: If the host can’t keep his promise, the loyalty of the bulls will fall and they will leave the host.

Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo’s head.

‘Of course, I know.’

Even with his special talent [Mighty Bull Tamer], he could not promise some random things to the bulls he was planning to tame because if he could not keep his promise, not only the bulls he tamed would leave him but the effects of the [Mighty Bull Tamer] would decrease.

‘As long as I keep my promise while taming the bulls, the special talent’s potential would also increase.’

Leo silently thought in his head as he opened the portal, “Let’s go. Since you swear your loyalty to me, it is time for me to keep my promise.”

Soon, Leo took them to his Floating City to keep his promise.

….

‘Swoosh’

“Damn it…I am late again.”

One hour after Leo left, a young man arrived at the location of the [God Ruins] and clenched his fists in anger when he saw the already cleared [God Ruins].

‘100 kilometers away from here, there is a [Treasure Land], I have to enter it at any cost.’

With that thought in his head, the young man rushed in a specific direction.
