Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 164 Returning to the Starting Point

“Die.”

Ren spits a powerful flamethrower at both Leo and Lionel, hoping to turn them into ashes simultaneously.

As a level 7 supreme-ranked flaming lion, Ren didn’t think much about Leo, who was just a rank 9 hero. As for the lion cub, he was nothing in Ren’s eyes.

[Space Manipulation]

However, he didn’t expect Leo’s reaction speed, which instantly activated the ultimate effect of the [Space Manipulation], to escape from the den.

‘Swoosh’

Before the fiery flames could touch them, Leo disappeared from the den with the lion cub in his arms.

“What? How was he able to escape through my rank 9 barrier?”

Ren was shocked when he saw that Leo was able to teleport away from his den.

Even though he had lied about his formation being a supreme rank, Ren knew it was enough to stop anyone below the supreme rank from entering or leaving the den.

However, Leo was able to escape right in front of his eyes, making him anxious._-.

That’s right!

Minister Ren was anxious because if they met the Flaming Lion King and told him that he was the mastermind behind the kidnap, he would be killed without mercy.

“Miles, take everyone from our faction and search for them. They should not meet anyone from the Flaming Lion King’s faction. Kill them before they could spoil our plans any further.”

Minister Ren anxiously ordered Miles to take care of Leo and Lionel.

“Yes, Minister Ren.”

As long as Minister Ren’s plans succeed, he would become a Lion general with 10 supreme-ranked lion captains, 1000 rank 9 flaming lions, and countless low-level flaming lions under him.

So, of course, he wanted to try his best to help Minister Ren.

Soon, he rushed out of the den and gathered the flaming lions from Minister Ren’s faction to search for Leo and Lionel.

“Also, inform our lions that have already left to search for them with the captains that as soon as they encounter them, kill them without any hesitation.”

Even though other flaming lions were powerful in Minister Ren’s faction, he gave the orders to everyone before starting the search.

‘Damn it…I should have killed them the moment they entered my den.’

Inside his den, Ren regretted his actions of not killing them instantly and muttered, “So what if he finds out my plan. I think it is time to overthrow him and take over the territory.”

Ren was preparing a grand plan to take over the Emberfields from his blood brother; however, it was yet to be complete.

Nevertheless, because of a wild human, his plans were spoiled; now, he had to push forward his plans.

‘The three bestial rulers didn’t have any chance but assist me in killing Fury because the oath did not bind him and the three bestial rulers broke the oath.’

Even though Ren didn’t expect his plan to be spoiled, he started re-organizing his plans and started chuckling that his chances of killing his brother were very high.

….

In the Marsh Lands,

‘Swoosh’

A portal appeared as Leo walked out of it with a lion cub in his arms.

‘Ding,

The host used the ultimate effect of the [Space Manipulation]. This talent will be on cooldown for the next one hour.

Soon, he received the system notification regarding his talent [Space Manipulation], making Leo shake his head with a bitter smile.

“Thanks for the generous reward, little one.”

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Leo mocked the lion cub, who bragged that he would be rewarded generously.

However, Leo would have nearly lost his life.

“S-sorry.”

Lionel’s arrogance disappeared after seeing his uncle’s true colours, and he apologized to Leo.

“Leave it. Let’s find your father. I can only survive if I find your father.”

Leo knew that if he wanted to survive in this world, his only option was to find Fury, the flaming lion king.

“Brother Leo, I know how to make my father come for me.”

Lionel took time to settle his mixed emotions regarding his Uncle Ren and thought of something.

“What is it?”

“If I drop my blood, my father could sense it if he was close to that blood drop.”

Lionel replied to Leo and continued, “Not only my father but all the flaming lions could tell that the blood belongs to mine.”

“Let’s do it.”

Leo could tell that not all flaming lions want to kill the Heir. So, he decided to gamble, hoping either the flaming lion king or someone loyal to him should find them first.

As soon as Leo agreed to his idea, the lion cub bit his hand and dropped the blood.

“Brother Leo, let’s go. Let’s cover as much distance as possible.”

Soon, Leo rushed with Lionel in his army, leaving a single drop of blood for every 100 meters or 200 meters.

When any flaming lion comes close to that drop of blood, they could sense it belongs to the Heir as Lionel’s blood contained the bloodline of the ‘Heavenly Flaming Lion King.’

“I hope we don’t encounter any supreme-ranked beasts or monsters.”

Leo didn’t mind encountering rank 9 beasts or monsters; however, supreme-ranked beings were out of his reach for him because he could not use [Space Manipulation] for another hour.

‘Nevertheless, I still have [Mighty Combustion]’s ultimate effect. Even though it could kill level 2 and injure level 3 supreme-ranked beast heroes, I can’t use that talent for another hour. So, it is better to use it when I don’t have any other choice.’

With the first effect of the [Mighty Combustion], Leo could kill hundreds of rank 9 beasts and monsters and repeatedly use that effect with a few seconds of rest.

So, he didn’t want his powerful talent to fall into the cooldown.

“It looks like our squad is very lucky today.”

As Leo was rushing aimlessly in the marshlands, he heard a rough voice from a distance and saw nearly 100 bulls.

‘Terra bulls. Why nothing is going as I thought today.’

Leo bitterly shook his head and said, “Fine, come at me then.”
