Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Ding,

The host’s [Seal Swallowing Ability] is upgraded to the Supreme Grade.

Before Leo could use his reward to upgrade his quasi-supreme ranked weapon, he received a system notification, making him suddenly remember the [Seal Swallowing Abiltity].

In the Starlight Tribe, after swallowing thousands of enslavement seals, Leo’s [Seal Swallowing Ability] started upgrading; however, it asked him to wait for 24 hours to finish the upgrade.

After 24 hours, the ability’s upgrade paused just when there was one minute to complete the upgrade.

‘Ding,

Since the host is not a supreme-ranked hero, the ability will be temporarily locked.

This was the explanation given by the system for pausing the ability’s upgrade just when it was only a second away from completion.

‘Finally, it is unlocked. I wonder what changed for the [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy].’

Leo was surprised, put a hold on his weapon upgrade, and checked the changes in the [Seal Swallowing Ability].

‘Ding,

Ability Name: Seal Swallowing Ability.

Grade: Level 1 Supreme Grade._.

Effect: All seals below supreme grade within a one-kilometer radius of the host can be instantly swallowed by the host at once, or he could select the special seals he wants to devour.

Additional effect: The host can swallow a level 1 supreme grade seal either by touch or from 100 meters without contact, only one at a time.

Note: If it is by touch, the seal will be swallowed instantly, and if it is from a distance, it will take time depending on the strength or grade of the person or the item, respectively.

‘It looks like all the small restrictions are removed once a talent or ability upgrades to the supreme grade.’

Leo was satisfied with the changes in the [Seal Swallowing Ability] and concluded.

‘Nevertheless, the main purpose of the talent or the ability didn’t change; instead, it only became more convenient.’

Previously, Leo had touched one after another to remove even level 5 enslavement seals from the Starlight Tribe’s people.

However, now, he just has to think about it, and instantly all the slaves around him would become normal, and they won’t even have time to self-destruct.

‘This supreme grade is interesting. I need to upgrade my other talents, skills and abilities to the supreme grade soon.’

After seeing the changes in the [Call of the Undead] and the [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo could not wait to upgrade his other talents, skills, and abilities to supreme grade.

‘Anyway, it will take some time to upgrade them.’

Soon, he stopped thinking about the talents because he knew sooner or later he would upgrade them all to the supreme grade.

…

‘Ding,

Please choose one of the two quasi-supreme ranked weapons you want to upgrade to the supreme grade.

After he stopped thinking about his talents and skills, Leo resumed his plan to upgrade his weapon.

‘I will choose War God’s Battle Axe.’

Without hesitation, Leo chose the Battle Axe over the Arcane Silver Sword.

‘Since the Arcane Silver Sword can upgrade its grade by devouring the other weapons and artifacts, it is better to upgrade the War God’s Battle Axe.’

Like his talent swallowing ability, his sword also had the similar ability to become powerful by swallowing other weapons and artifacts.

Therefore, Leo felt it was a waste of an opportunity to upgrade his sword rather than upgrading the battle-axe.

‘Swiish’

The huge battle axe in his hand freed itself and hovered in mid-air before starting shining and disappearing into thin air, making Leo surprised.

However, he was not worried about it as he knew the system would give it back to him after completing the upgrade.

‘Ding,

The War God’s Battle Axe will be upgraded into Supreme-Grade after one day. Please be patient.

Unlike his strength upgrade to the Supreme Rank, the upgrade for the weapon required him to wait for 24 hours.

‘There was nothing I could do other than waiting.’

Leo checked his surroundings for a moment to see whether he was leaving anything behind, and after making sure everything was alright, he muttered,

‘I think it is time to reunite with my family for real.’

Since Theodore has been taken care of, Leo no longer needs to worry about hiding his identity from his family.

With that thought in mind, Leo returned to Phirie city.

…

In the City of the Slaves,

A middle-aged man could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position in the room with dim light.

His body shone with a red-coloured light that was increasing slowly but steadily.

“Master, I have some bad news.”

After mustering her courage, one of the servants entered the room and continued saying, “City leader Theodore has been killed.”

There was still no response from the middle-aged man; however, the young servant knew her master was listening.

Hence, she continued, “Before the City leader Theodoe’s life stick, Sir Gorilla’s life stick was broken.”

‘Huh?’

Suddenly, steady red-coloured energy emitted from his middle-aged man’s body became uneven for a moment before becoming steady again.

The middle-aged man was none other than Jayden, who was in the middle of becoming a Supreme-ranked hero.

If he was not in the middle of the process, no one knew what he would have done.

“Who dares to kill my Gorilla?”

Without opening his eyes, Jayden asked the young servant.

“Th..this…the spirit mark that master has left on Sir Gorilla’s body was obstructed by something. It was most probably the city leader’s [Dark Domain]. So we can’t confirm the killer’s identity.”

Even though the young servant was scared to deliver the news of Gorilla’s death to her master, she had no other choice.

However, she heaved a sigh of relief when she remembered her master was in the middle of the breakthrough.

“Bunch of idiots. What’s the use of having so many of you? I should have just engraved the soul-supressing slave seals on you instead of growth enchancing slave seals.”

Even though Jayden’s words seemed calm, they contained incredible rage; however, he has to remain calm because of his current situation.

“Sorry, master for being useless,” The young servant bowed.

“Anyway, wait for a while and see who takes over the Phirie City. No matter who takes it, just kill him.”

Jayden didn’t think much as he casually gave a few orders to the young servant.

“I think either the Cloudriver family or the Icefeather family will take over the Phire city, master.”

The young servant thought for a moment before replying, “Both families worked for the city leader Theodore and they are indirectly your servants, master. Do you really want to kill them?”

Even though the young servant had an enslavement seal on her, it didn’t affect her emotions or ability to think.

The seal on her body was a special type of enslavement seal called Growth enhancing enslavement seal that required a lot of energy and time for Jayden to engrave. So, he only chose a few who were worthy and engraved these Growth enhancing slave seals on them.

“Brat, are you sure they would take over the Phirie City? If my guess is right, those two families will disappear soon and someone else will take over the Phirie city.”

Jayden’s words made the young servant frown as she continued to listen, “Send someone to keep an eye on the Phire city, mainly on those two families.”
