Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 135 Evil Family Exterminator

In Phirie City,

In the city leader’s mansion,

“Gorilla, everything regarding the expedition into the otherworldly portal is set.”

The city leader respectfully informed a burly young man that looked in his mid-twenties about the expedition.

“Okay.”

The burly young man nodded as he asked, “While coming here, I heard something happened in the Ambermane Family. Tell me what happened. Not the rumors, but I want the truth.”

“T-this…even I don’t know about it.”

The city leader shook his head and said, “There are no traces of anyone from the Ambermane family. One of the buildings in the Ambermane family grounds was destroyed. Other than that, it looks like everyone from the Ambermane family disappeared into thin air.”

“Hm.”

Gorilla nodded and asked, “Also, I heard the Talent Swallowing Hero made his appearance during the invasion earlier. Is it true?”

“Yes.”

The city leader frowned when he heard the burly man mention the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’; however, he still nodded.

“Haha…looks like he had improved so much in the past one year that he didn’t even leave a single trace of the humans…interesting. I hope my trip to Phire City will not be as boring as I thought it will.”

When he got confirmation from the city leader, the burly young man started laughing, confusing the city leader.

However, when he heard Gorilla’s words, he could connect the dots._-.

“Gorilla, do you think it is done by the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’?”

The city leader asked the burly young man.

“I am 99 percent sure that it was done by the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’.”

Gorilla was confident as he replied, “Talent Swallowing Hero is not only known for swallowing the talents of fellow humans, he is also known as Family Exterminator.”

“But…why would he….”

“My bad, officially all the city leaders call him ‘Family Exterminator’, but the Talent Swallowing Hero calls himself ‘Evil Family Exterminator’.”

Before the family head could finish his words, Gorilla corrected them and asked, “As for whether the Ambermane Family is evil or not, you might know about it so well since you are the city leader…Haha.”

The Abandoned Sea, Beastnet,

‘Ding,

Mission name: Spider Killer.

Objective: Kill as many water spiders as possible before the Spider Queen and its 20 supreme-ranked children return to the Abandoned Sea.

Rewards: The rewards will be given whenever the host kills a specific number of water spiders. As for the rewards, it will be a surprise for the host.

Dangers: Purple-striped Water Spider.

Leo revealed an evil smile while looking at the mission details in front of him.

A few moments ago, Leo was planning to leave the Abandoned sea; however, after learning that only one supreme-ranked water spider was in this region, he changed his plans.

‘Even if there were more than five supreme-ranked water spiders like the Purple-striped Water Spider, I could easily escape.’

Leo clenched his fists and was no longer scared to start the massacre in the Abandoned Sea.

“Little one, go and rest in the Beast Storage Device.”

Even though he could teleport along with the cub, Leo no longer planned to escape; instead, he wanted to massacre the water spiders and, if possible, take revenge on the Purple-striped Water Spider for putting him in a cage.

Entering the secret dimensional space along with the lion cub was not possible. Therefore, he decided to store the cub in the beast storage device.

‘Let’s kill as many water spiders as possible before the Purple-striped Water Spider comes out of its den.’

[Fire Claw]

Sharp claws of fire materialized on Leo’s hands as he looked at more than a dozen water spiders in the distance discussing something.

[Teleport]

With a thought, Leo disappeared from his place, leaving a round mark on the ground before appearing in the middle of the dozen water spiders.

‘Slash’

Leo didn’t give any time for those water spiders to alert the others as he killed them at an incredible speed.

‘Ding,

The host killed 12 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3600 [Promote points].

‘Ding,

The host devoured the 12 rank 9 water spiders; however, he didn’t awaken anything.

[Absolute Devour]

In less than a minute, the devil mouth on his palm devoured those water spiders; however, he was not lucky enough to awaken any talent and skill.

‘There must be enough water spiders for me to kill.’

Nevertheless, Leo was not worried as he focused on killing and devouring the water spiders.

‘Ding,

The host killed 10 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3000 [Promote points].

‘Ding,

The host devoured the 10 rank 9 water spiders and awakened a new skill [Water Blade].

‘Ding,

The host killed 13 rank 9 water spiders and gained 3900 [Promote points].

‘Ding,

The host devoured the 13 rank 9 water spiders and awakened a new skill [Skin Hardening].

Even though he didn’t awaken in the first round, he was lucky and awakened two skills back to back.

‘Two skills. At this rate, I will collect all the talents and the skills of the entire water spider race.’

Seeing the system notifications in his head, Leo could not help but get excited and wanted to kill more and more water spiders before devouring them to awaken a few more new skills and talents.

‘Ding,

Skill Name: Water Blade (Level 1).

Effect: The user can summon a blade made up of water that can increase the user’s damage by 10 percent.

Note: This skill’s effect can’t be stacked with other skills’ effects.

‘Ding,

Skill Name: Skin Hardening (Level 1).

Effect: The user’s skin becomes as hard as a rock, and the user’s defense increases by 10 percent.

Note: This skill’s effect can’t be stacked with other skills’ effects.

Leo nodded, looking at the information on his two new skills. Even though they were not powerful skills and, at the same time, they could not be stacked with other skills’ effects, Leo was not depressed much with them.

‘Having an extra skill is not a bad thing. As for whether I use them or not, it is secondary.’

Leo silently muttered to himself and continued thinking, ‘Every skill has its own time and place to shine just like [Poison resistance], which would be my trump card against the Purple-striped water spider.’

‘However, I hope to awaken talents.’

Even though Leo preferred to awaken the talents compared to the skill, he didn’t mind awakening two skills back to back.

It was because if Leo could upgrade three more basic talents into elite talents, his talent [Talent Promoter] would be upgraded to level 4. Then he could use his millions of [Promote Points] to upgrade all his elite talents to advanced talents in an instant.

‘Anyway, I should continue killing and awaken at least three more talents.’

Leo took a pause and checked his surroundings for the Purple-striped water spider.

He didn’t want to be struck by the Purple-striped water spider again. So, he kept an eye for the supreme-ranked water spider before selecting his next group of rank 9 water spiders.

‘Ding,

The system detected that the host had multiple similar skills.

‘Ding,

The host has met the hidden requirements to unlock a new ability. Do you want to unlock the new system ability?

Just as he was about to teleport to a faraway spider den, Leo received a couple of system notifications that made him stop in his tracks.

‘A new ability?’

Leo was pleasantly surprised by the notifications and hurriedly nodded, ‘Only an idiot doesn’t want to unlock a new system ability.’
