Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 213 [Bonus chapter] Crazy Farming of Talents and Skills

“It’s devouring time.”

The devil’s mouth on Leo’s left palm appeared as it became excited looking at the corpses of the five snake kings.

Without wasting any time, Leo started devouring them.

Previously, Leo couldn’t devour the corpses that were killed by others.

However, after devouring more than a hundred supreme-ranked snakes and millions of low-ranked snakes, his talent [Absolute Devour] has been upgraded to level 9.

Since [Absolute Devour] is a special talent, it unlocked a new effect after reaching level 9.

According to that effect, Leo could now devour the supreme-ranked beast corpses that were killed by others and trigged the other effects of the [Absolute Devour].

‘Most of the experience came from devouring the Wind Serpent King’s corpse that upgraded the [Absolute Devour].’

Even though he devoured millions of snakes, it was still less than the experience provided by the Wind Serpent King.

‘After devouring all those serpents, I got five new talents and 10 new skills.’

Since there were five different types of snakes, he could trigger the [Absolute Devour] three times each for the five types of snake he devoured.

So, overall, he trigged 15 times before his chances of awakening reduced to one percent.

Adding to the talents and skills he gained from the Wind Serpents, he gained more than 20 talents and skills combined.

So far, it is the highest number of talents and skills he awakened in a single day._-.

‘The only sad thing is I was unable to awaken any special talents; however, awakening one special talent today was already great. I should stop being greedy.’

Leo shook his head and continued with his thinking.

‘Also, another reward I got today is a new title [Serpent Slayer].’

Leo generally does not smile a lot; however, today, he was smiling a lot because he got so many rewards.

‘Ding,

Title name: Serpent Slayer.

Effect: 1) The six types of snakes will have their battle prowess decreased by 50 percent.

Six types of snake are Wind Serpents, Fire Vipers, Earth Pythons, Water Basilisk, Lightning Nagas and Nether Nagas.

2) The remaining snake-type beasts and monsters will have their battle prowess decreased by 25 percent.

Note: 1) effects one and two can’t be stacked.

2) The title can’t be stacked with other titles.

The effects of the [Serpent Slayer], [Spider Killer], and [Bull Executioneer] were the same, and they could not be stacked with one another.

Nevertheless, Leo didn’t think it was much of a drawback compared to the effects the titles provided him.

‘I can always change the titles depending upon the opponent I fight.’

Leo was greatly excited with the number of titles because, during the assessment, there would be various types of monsters and mutated beasts.

Among them, Leo could now suppress the battle prowess of all snake-type, spider-type, and bull-type monsters and beasts by 25 percent, enough to easily change the tides of the battle.

‘From what I noticed so far, I should kill more than one million beasts or monsters from the same race to awaken a title related to the race.’

Other than his already planned goals, Leo added another to that list; it was to awaken a few more titles before the World Assessment starts.

‘Puchi’

‘Kacha’

As Leo was lost in his thoughts, he received two system notifications that gave him another pleasant surprise.

‘Ding,

The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed a level 5 Lightning Naga King’s corpse. New special talent is awakened.

‘Ding,

The host used [Absolute Devour] and consumed a level 5 Nether Naga King’s corpse. New special talent is awakened.

From the five snake king corpses Leo consumed, he could awaken two talents; to his surprise, those two talents were special ones.

‘Today, I have awakened three special talents. Who would have thought I would be blessed with too much luck.’

Leo could not help but feel very lucky and muttered, ‘Finally, I can upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 7.’

‘Before upgrading it, let’s see what the two newly awakened talents are.’

Leo didn’t check the talents directly; instead, he decided to rest in the Wind Serpent King’s canyon.

….

In a spacious cave inside the canyon,

‘Let me see two newly awakened special talents.’

After settling inside the cave, Leo focused on the two newly awakened special talents.

‘Ding,

Talent Name: Call of the Lightning (level 1).

Talent Type: Special.

Effect: The user can summon a single lightning flash from the sky to hit a single target with 100 percent lightning damage.

‘What? 100 percent lightning damage at Level 1?’

Leo was shocked to see the damage caused by one of his two newly awakened talents was so high.

As far as Leo knew, the serious damage that a level 1 skill could do is 20 percent, and most of them only do 10 percent of the damage.

Therefore, compared with those talents, this new talent was on a new level 1.

‘If this talent could deal such damage at level 1, I wonder how much it will do at level 7.’

Without hesitation, Leo upgraded the [Call of the Lightning] from level 1 to level 7 using the [Promote Points].

‘Ding,

It requires 2626000 [Promote Points] to upgrade a special talent like [Call of the Lightning] from level 1 to level 7.

‘Ding,

Do you still want to upgrade it?

‘Upgrade’

The only thing that Leo has right now is [Promote Points]. Hence, he directly ordered the system to upgrade.

‘Ding,

The [Call of the Lightning] has been upgraded to level 7. Please check the details in the [User Innterface].

‘Check’

He upgraded the [Call of the Lighnting] to satisfy his curiosity regarding how powerful the talent would be at level 7.

‘Ding,
