Talent Swallowing Hero

'A special mission?'

The system didn't answer his question or explain anything; instead, he issued a mission.

'So, I can ask you about your origins after completing the mission. Alright!'

Even though Leo didn't want to become the apostle of the powerful entities, he might give it a thought if the [Talent Swallowing System] was really the inheritance of some powerful god.

If not for the system, he would have been already dead while mining for the Hero's Metals in the underground mines.

Thanks to the system, not only did he become stronger, he was able to reunite with his family and could take revenge on the borrowed hands behind his parents' death, leaving him with the mastermind.

As long as he killed the Slave Marker who was the mastermind, he could complete his revenge.

Therefore, Leo didn't mind becoming the apostle of the powerful entity that left the system as an inheritance in this world.

'Even if it makes me the target of the other gods, I have to face it for using the system all these years.'

Leo silently muttered to himself as he looked at the remnant spirit.

When he received the system, Leo already knew there would be consequences for taking the inheritance of the [God Ruins] because there is no such thing as called free lunch in the world.

Moreover, Leo was not the type to forget the benefits he received from the system when he was nothing but an unawakened human. So, he felt it was finally time for him to repay the powerful entity that left behind the [Talent Swallowing System] in the [God Ruins] of this world.

Of course, Leo still didn't know what that powerful entity wanted, but he was sure that he would find out about it when he completed the world assessment.

'As long as it doesn't require me to kill my family, friends and followers, I don't mind fulfilling that powerful entity's requests.'

Leo silently thought in his head and asked the remnant spirit, "Who is that powerful entity and why would I be targeted by the other gods if they knew I am the apostle of that entity?"

Even though the system was not commenting or answering anything, Leo wanted to know about the powerful entity and what he did to bring the wrath of all the other gods.

<Keke…curious, right?>

The remnant spirit chuckled as he didn't wait for Leo's reply and continued, <As long as you free me, I will tell you everything about him and what he did>

Of course, the remnant spirit was not a kindred spirit to give all the information to Leo just because he asked. So, he tried to make a deal with Leo.

"Nevermind, I know how to get answers to my questions."

Leo shook his head and activated his ability.

[Spirit Swallowing Ability - Refine]

As soon as he activated it, the mysterious runes started appearing on the golden furnace and at the same time, it started shining even more brightly.

Since the Abyssal Demon God won't answer his questions without getting freed from the Golden Furnace and even if Leo releases him, there is no guarantee that the remnant spirit would answer.

Moreover, the remnant spirit would easily escape after Leo released him from the Golden Furnace and there was nothing Leo could do because a remnant spirit was basically a God inside the [Treasure Land] with conditions applied.

Even if the remnant spirit can't kill Leo, the same would be applicable to Leo. Therefore, he didn't want to take any risks because the remnant spirit knew about the creator of the system.

<W-wait…wait…I will tell you…stop….>

The remnant spirit started shouting in pain; however, it was useless because even Leo didn't have the ability to stop once the refining started.

"Since you said I will be hunted if the other gods knew about me, then it is more than enough reason to kill you."

Leo didn't want the remnant spirit to return to the main body because the real Abyssal Demon God would learn everything about him and if he personally makes a move, it would be difficult for him to escape.

'Swoosh'

Soon, the golden furnace minimized and entered his body.

'Ding,

The refinement of the spirit will be completed in two weeks.

'Ding,

Since the host is refining a remnant spirit of a Gold-level entity, the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability] is one year.

At the same time, two system notifications rang in Leo's head explaining about the refining time and the cooldown for the [Spirit Swallowing Ability].

'I wonder what kind of things I will get after refining the remnant spirit.'

Leo was not surprised with the cooldown for the [Spiri Swallowing Ability]; however, he was curious about the rewards from reining the remnant spirit.

Even though it was only a remnant spirit, it was still a part of the powerful entity. So, even if he gets the least valuable thing from the Abyssal Demon God, it would be very valuable for him.

'Ding,

Without the disappearance of the remnant spirit, the [Treasure Land] will not last for long. Please retrieve all the treasures from the [Treasure Room] and exit the [Treasure Land].

Just as Leo thought of taking a small break, he received the system notification.

'I will take the break after leaving the [Treasure Land].'

Even if the system didn't mention retrieving the treasures, Leo would have not forgotten about it.

The treasure lying in the [Treasure Room] was a high-level one because it was stored in the [Diamond Section].

'Enter'

Even though there was no remnant spirit, the [Treasure Land] still worked by default and all the additional changes by the remnant spirit would reset.

Since Leo had nearly 50 million treasure points, he easily got access to the [Diamond Section].

Surprisingly, it only costs 10 million treasure points and Leo spent them and bought the item from the [Treasure Land] before exiting the [Treasure Room] and then [Treasure Land].

...

Outside the [Treasure Land],

"This trip to the [Treasure Land] is much more rewarding than I thought."

Leo heaved a sigh of relief upon exiting the [Treasure Land] and excitedly said it.

Before Leo entered the [Treasure Room] to pick the last item, he asked Silvermoon Wolf and other followers to leave the [Treasure Land].

"Yeah...I was hoping that too."

Suddenly, Leo heard a voice and saw two young men in the distance as one of the young men continued, "Now, give me everything you have and I will let you go."

'Huh?'

Leo frowned when he heard the words of the arrogant young man; however, he was surprised when he saw a second young man.

"Shawn?"

That's right! Leo knew one of the young men and asked with a doubtful look on his face.

"Boss, it's been a long time."

At the same time, Shawn also recognised Leo and with an excited smile, he rushed towards Leo.

"Brat…you know that b*stard?"

However, the Dragon Summoning Hero stopped Shawn in his tracks and asked.

"Who are you calling…b*stard?"

​ In the next second, a black aura released from Shawn's body as he angrily looked at the Dragon Summoning Hero.
