Talent Swallowing System

‘Who are they?’

‘How do they know me?’

‘The most important question is, how much do they know about me?’

It was Leo’s first time seeing the three young men in front of him. Moreover, he was meticulous in using his talents in the outside world.

Except for his trusted friends, no one knows about his talents.

So, when someone said they knew about him, Leo wondered how much they knew about it because it would affect his plans in Phirie city.

“Of course, we know you, Brother Leo.”

One of the young men nodded his head.

“We were ordered by Mr. White just like you, Brother Leo.”

Soon, the leader walked forward and said, “He specially ordered that we should not fight among ourselves.”

‘Oh.’

Suddenly, Leo realized how they knew about it and heaved a sigh of relief.

“So, you are working for Mr. White.”

‘Swoosh’

Leo nodded as he disappeared from his place and appeared between the two young men behind the leader.

“However, I am not working for him.”

‘Slash’

As soon as he finished his words, Leo swung his sword and slashed off the heads of the two young men.

Those two young men didn’t even have the time to dodge that rank 9 War God’s sword as their heads flew into the distance._-.

“What are you doing?”

The last young man, the leader of the trio, became shocked when he saw Leo kill his two brothers.

“Can’t you see? I already killed your brothers.”

Leo scoffed at him.

<You received 100000 treasure points from the participant you killed>

<You received 100000 treasure points from the participant you killed>

The old remnant spirit’s voice resounded in Leo’s head, informing him about his gains.

‘I can buy the remaining items from the [Bronze] section with these treasure points.’

Leo silently thought in his head as he said, “This sword is not bad, right? I just bought it from the [Treasure room].”

Since Leo knew that killing the participants in the [Treasure land] would not kill them, he intentionally revealed the rank 9 sword in his head.

“No wonder you can use it in the [Treasure land].”

From the side, Julia’s doubt regarding the sword cleared.

According to the rules, the weapons or artifacts from the outside world would be temporarily sealed and could not be used inside the [Treasure land].

So, Julia and the young man were shocked to sense the powerful aura released by the sword in Leo’s hand.

“Even if Mr. White punishes me, I will kill you today.”

The leader of the trio came out of the shock and rushed toward Leo.

‘Cru…kacha’

The leader’s body started transforming into a different being along the way.

He grew to his original size with two small horns pointing forward on either side of his head.

“Devil transformation. Not a bad talent, but in front of a rank 9 sword, everything is useless.”

Even without using the system, Leo could tell the talent used by the leader of the trio.

However, he didn’t have any thoughts about dodging the incoming devil.

“What? A rank 9 sword?”

However, the leader of the trio was shocked by Leo’s words as he tried his best to stop in his tracks.

Because in front of a rank 9 sword, a peak elite hero like him could not stand a chance.

So, he decided to forget about the revenge and run away from Leo.

“Haha…too bad. You can’t escape from me.”

The devil heard Leo’s voice beside his ears in the next second as the rank 9 sword was pierced into his heart.

“Mr. White will take revenge for me.”

Soon, the leader reverted into his original form as he left those words for Leo before turning into tiny light dots.

“Let’s see.”

Leo was not worried about Mr. White’s revenge because he knew the ‘Black suits’ leaders were not the type to take revenge for small fry.

<You received 120000 treasure points from the participant you killed>

Soon, he heard the remnant’s spirit voice in his head.

‘320000 treasure points in a single go. Not bad.’

Leo nodded his head as he walked toward Julia.

“Brother Leo, are you working for Mr.White?”

On the auction day, Julia learned about the existence of Mr. White. So, she asked whether Leo was working for him.

“I won’t work for others.”

Leo shook his head as he continued, “He suggested a deal, and I agreed.”

“Woah…what kind of deal.”

Julia only knew that Mr. White was the wealthiest business in Phirie city. So, she asked about the deal.

“Keep this sword with you, and if someone tries to attack you when I enter the [Treasure room], you can use it to protect yourself.”

Leo didn’t talk about the deal; instead, he diverted the topic as he gave the rank 9 sword to her.

Even though one needs to have good training to bring out the true potential of a sword, Leo was not worried much about it.

Because even if Julia casually swings the sword, she could kill a rank 7 hero without any problem. That’s how mighty a rank 9 sword was.

“But I…”

“It doesn’t matter. Just don’t announce that it is a rank 9 weapon to your enemies.”

Leo didn’t let Julia finish her words as he continued, “I will go and shop a little.”

‘Swoosh’

Soon, Leo entered the [Treasure room] and bought the remaining items from the [Bronze] section.

<After the discount, the participant has to pay 119000 treasure points for the remaining items>

<Deducted 119000 treasure points from the participant’s account>

<The participant still has 207500 treasure points>

Unlike before, Leo didn’t waste much time in the [Treasure room] as he left after taking all the items from the [Bronze] section.

‘Did I make a mistake by fulfilling his request?’

After Leo left the [Treasure room], the old remnant spirit silently thought.

Initially, the main objective of this [Treasure room] was to make the six participants buy the six rank 9 weapons from the [Bronze] section and either make them fight one another or fight as a team to kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts in the [Treasure land].

However, with his simple request, Leo messed up the entire objective of his [Treasure land].

‘Moreover, because of his status as the ‘Coin holder’, there are no restrictions for him in buying all six items.’

The old remnant spirit had restricted that a participant could only buy one rank 9 weapon; however, he forgot about Leo’s special status.

‘I thought he was just itching to challenge the other participants. It looks like at this rate, he will take away all the items from the [Treasure room].’

The old remnant spirit’s expression became serious as he started thinking about how to correct his mistake.

‘Since I already promised him that I will direct everyone trying to enter the [Treasue room] to him, I can’t take it back; however, I can use my authority to play with him.’

The old remnant spirit revealed an evil smile.

….

<Thanks for the participant in finding a loophole>

As soon as Leo appeared under his resting tree, he heard the old remnant spirit’s voice.

<The rank 9 weapons will be temporarily sealed and unable for the participant to use them. As a reward for finding a loophole, the participant will be rewarded with 10000 treasure points>

<It’s been six hours since you entered my [Treasure land]. There will be a random shuffling of the participants>

<From now on, the treasure points of the participants will be shown above their heads>

Unlike the starting notifications, the last two notifications were resounded throughout [Treasure land].

‘What? Sealed my rank 9 weapons? Shuffling the participants?’

Leo raised his brows as he could sense something was fishy about the sudden changes in the [Treasue land].

‘Wait a second…is it because of me?’

He felt the changes were made exclusively for him.

“Julia, give me your hand.”

Nevertheless, he held Julia’s hand in case they were teleported to different places.

‘Swoosh’

‘Swoosh’

Just after those notifications from the old remnant spirit, Leo saw the participants from the Cloudriver family appear in the distance.

More than 20 participants in that group held hands with one another along with the ‘Ethereal blades’ trio.

“Hey, look at that guy; he has more than 200000 treasure points.”

Soon, someone from the group pointed at Leo with an excited look before rushing toward Leo and Julia, and a few more participants.

‘Is it the old spirit’s way of balancing things?’

Leo finally understood something as he revealed a slight smile and looked at the incoming group of participants.
