Talent Swallowing System

Inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall,

‘Ding,

The host swallowed 12 level 5 soul-suppressing slave seals.

‘Ding,

The host swallowed 8 level 5 soul-suppressing slave seals.

.

.

‘Ding,

The host swallowed 1 level 6 soul-suppressing slave seals.

The system notifications rang in Leo’s head as he touched the heads of the young trainees and the instructors praying inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall.

With the help of his talent [Advanced Acceleration], Leo was fast, and at the same time, he didn’t make any sound while swallowing their enslavement seals.

“They close their eyes for two minutes; however, I only need less than a minute to touch everyone in the hall.”

Looking at 120 young trainees and a single instructor clutch their heads in pain, Leo revealed a satisfied look on his face.

Upgrade requirements for the Seal Swallowing Ability

1) Swallow Level 6 Seals: (11 / 100). Or

2) Swallow Level 5 Seals: (1350 / 50000). Or

3) Swallow Level 4 Seals: (0 / 1000000).

It was not the first batch that Leo freed in the Starlight Ancestral Hall; instead, it was the eleventh batch.

Overall, including the batch in the training grounds and ten hall keepers, he freed a total of 1361 people.

‘It’s going well. Let’s free as many people as possible.’

Even though it was not fast, it was not slow either, as Leo was only working for less than a minute whenever a new batch of people entered the hall.

After freeing them, the 10 hall keepers would briefly explain the things to them before giving a few sets of rules not to raise the suspicions of the other enslaved people in the tribe.

“Sir Leo, the rank 7 and 8 starlight warriors will be coming soon. Can you remove the enslavement seals for them without any problems? Do you need any help?”

One of the hall keepers asked Leo with a worried expression.

Even though the hall keepers didn’t have high hero rank or starlight cultivation, they were the keepers of the hall. So, they have some authority and respect in the tribe.

Therefore, the hall keepers asked whether they could help him with anything.

“I know you have some authority, but will they listen to you?”

Leo was surprised and asked about it.

If it was before they turned into slaves, these hall keepers might have the authority; however, Leo doubted they could provide him with the help he wanted.

“It doesn’t matter whether they were slaves or not; they will listen to us because the Slave Marker didn’t stop our tradition and even encouraged everyone in the tribe to visit the ‘Starlight Ancestor Hall’. Thanks to his orders, he could still maintain the authority to a little bit.”

“Yes, Sir Leo. As long as we don’t ask anything unreasonable, everyone will listen to our words.”

Another two hall keepers joined the conversation, making Leo pleasantly surprised.

“So, can you only allow the rank 7 starlight warriors first?”

Leo asked them, “Allow them to enter the Ancestral Hall according to their cultivation.”

“I think it is possible, Sir Leo.”

“Yes. It is not an unreasonable request.”

The hall keepers thought for a moment before coming up with a plan to make the starlight cultivators enter the Starlight Ancestral Hall according to their cultivation.

“Excellent. If you can do it, I can guarantee that I will free everyone in your tribe.”

According to Aurora’s information, a rank 7 hero in her tribe was engraved with a level 6 enslavement seal. Hence, he planned to devour those seals and upgrade his ability to level 7.

By repeating this process, Leo planned to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abiltity] to level 9.

‘I hope everything goes smoothly.’

Leo always recalled the system’s ‘Danger Rating’ to boost his confidence and hoped he would complete the mission smoothly.

Soon, the hall keepers announced to the entire territory that everyone should enter the Ancestral Hall according to their ascending rank order.

Even though the supreme-ranked starlight cultivators felt something was wrong, they didn’t think much and followed the words of the hall keepers.

‘It’s really working…it’s working.’

Even though Leo heard the announcement loud and clear, there was a slight fear in his heart that, ‘What if someone sensed something was wrong?’

Only when he saw 100 rank 7 starlight cultivators walking into the ancestral hall Leo heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Damn it…if I had known they had the authority, I would have done it from the beginning itself.’

In the next second, he scolded himself for not trying this method from the beginning.

‘Nevermind, it is not too late. I can still complete the mission and upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abilty].’

A slight smile appeared on his face as Leo started swallowing the enslavement seals.

‘Ding,

The host swallowed 3 level 6 soul-suppressing slave seals.

‘Ding,

The host swallowed 5 level 6 soul-suppressing slave seals.

.

.

.

Like before, when the rank 7 starlight warriors closed their eyes and touched their forehead in front of their ancestors, Leo touched them lightly. But, before they could realize what was happening, Leo had already swallowed their enslavement seals and freed them.

“Finally…I can laugh and cry.”

“How long has it been since I became a slave? 10 years? 12 years?”

“I have to free my parents.”

.

.

.

Everyone started crying and laughing simultaneously as they thought about their loved ones.

‘Ding,

The host has consumed more than 100 level 6 enslavement seals.

‘Ding,

The host’s [Seal Swallowing Abilty] is upgraded to level 7.

On the other hand, Leo was laughing at the system notifications in his head as his ability had upgraded to level 7.

‘Ding,

The host can now swallow the level 7 and below-ranked seals without a problem.

‘Ding,

Additional Effect: The host can now swallow the seals from three targets simultaneously within 500 meters radius.

He was also satisfied with the changes in the additional effect, where the range had increased by five times and the number of targets he could swallow the seals from.

‘I wonder whether the upgrade requirements for the level 7 [Seal Swallowing Ability] remain the same as the previous levels?’

With that thought, Leo checked the upgrade requirements; however, it only made him frown.
