Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 243 Using [Talent Blessing Ability]

The system informed Leo that as long as he used three Fragments of the God Stones, he could unlock a new system ability related to cultivation.

After experiencing how good and refreshed he felt from cultivating a single night, Leo wanted to put some effort into his part-time career as a cultivator.

Therefore, if he had an ability that could assist his cultivation, Leo felt he could become a high-level cultivator within no time.

“Sir Fury, did you find them?”

Fury walked out of a secret room inside his den and saw that Leo hurriedly asked with a face full of expectation.

“Yeah. I have one Fragment of the God Stone.”

While saying that, the Flaming Lion King threw a black-coloured stone at Leo.

‘Only one?’

Catching the Fragment of the God Stone, Leo got slightly disappointed; however, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Getting this Fragment of the God Stone is already lucky. I just have to find another Fragment of the God Stone after going back.’

Leo already has one fragment, and since he got another one from the Flaming Lion King, he just needed another fragment, and then he could unlock a new system ability.

‘I can always find one Fragment of the God Stone in the [God Ruins].’

With that thought in mind, Leo kept the stone away and replied, “Sir Fuy, for helping me again and again, I will give you something. I hope you might find it useful in your future fights.”

After saying those words, Leo walked closer to the Flaming Lion King and placed his hand on Fury’s head._.

“Sir Fury, please don’t resist.”

[Talent Blessing Ability]

As soon as he said that, Leo activated his recently unlocked system ability.

That’s right! Leo was planning to give a Talent or a Skill to the Flaming Lion King because only something like that could repay for all the help and resources he received from the Flaming Lion King.

‘Huh?’

Even though the Flaming Lion King was confused about Leo’s actions, he didn’t resist because even if Leo tried to harm him, he could not injure him, much less kill him.

‘Ding,

The receiver of the Talent/Skill has been selected. Please select the Talent/Skill you want to give to the receiver.

Soon, the system showed him a list of talents and skills that Leo has in his [Hero’s Interface].

‘I think this skill will be quite useful to him.’

Leo could not bless others with special talents, and he didn’t find any useful normal talent for the Flaming Lion King.

However, a particular skill caught his eyes, making Leo think it was a good skill for the Flaming Lion King.

‘Bless’

The selected skill disappeared from his [Hero’s Interface] with a single word.

‘Ding,

The host has used [Talent Blessing Ability] and blessed the Flaming Lion king with the skill [Terra Rock Storm].

‘Grr’

Soon, the system notification resounded in Leo’s head, followed by the Flaming Lion King’s painful growls.

That’s not it. Other than the painful growls, the Flaming Lion King’s body shone with both red and brown colour.

“Father.”

Watching from the side, Lionel hurriedly rushed towards his father with a worried look and asked Leo, “Brother Leo, what’s happening to my father?”

“Son, I am awakening a new skill…growl.”

Before Leo could answer Lionel, the Flaming Lion King replied to his son in an excited tone while releasing painful growls.

“New Skill?”

Lionel was surprised and looked at Leo with a shocked look because his father was awakening a skill thanks to Leo.

“Brother Leo, you are so cool.”

Even though he didn’t know how Leo was able to help his father in awakening a new skill, Lionel was happy for his father and thankful to Leo.

Soon, his respect for Leo reached another level where one could say he started idolizing Leo.

“It’s nothing.”

Leo shook his head and waited for the Flaming Lion King to complete his awakening.

It was not his first time using the [Talent Blessing Abiltiy] as he had already used it on his first beast follower, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant.

Unlike the Flaming Lion King, Leo didn’t give an attack-type talent or skill; instead, he gave a passive skill [Wind Resistance].

After merging his first [Wind Resistance] talent with [Poison Resistance], Leo received another [Wind Resistance], which he successfully merged with [Fire Resistace] and turned into a [Wind/Fire Elemental Resistance].

This same talent was blessed to Sutin.

‘I hope they can counter the elemental disadvantage with the skills and talents I bless them with.’

Leo didn’t give them what he gave them without thinking. He did a lot of thinking and decided to give the Talent/Skill to counter their Elemental Disadvantage.

[Elemental Advantage: Earth > Water > Fire > Wind > Earth]

Even though his beast follower Sutin has good physical strength, talents, and skills, he is weak against Wind-related attacks because of the elemental advantage.

Therefore, he gave Sutin a passive [Wind/Fire Elemental Resitance] that could decrease the overall power of the wind and fire-related attacks by a certain percentage depending on his talent level.

Similarly, the Flaming Lion King would be disadvantaged while fighting the same ranked water-type beasts and monsters.

Since he didn’t have an extra [Water Resistance], Leo selected a skill that could deal insane damage to the water-type beasts, which was none other than [Terra Rock Storm].

“Leo, I didn’t expect you to have the ability to awaken others’ skills, much less awakening a skill that was completely different from my element.”

Soon, Fury finished awakening his new skill and looked at Leo with shocked eyes.

Even though he was already shocked at the fact that Leo could help others in awakening their skills, the Flaming Lion King didn’t expect to awaken an earth-elemental skill like [Terra Rock Storm] which was a powerful skill of the Terra Bull Tyrant.

“I hope it can be helpful to you in your future battle against the water-type beasts and monsters.”

Even though no one is stronger than the Flaming Lion King in the Beastnet, that doesn’t mean there were no stronger beasts or beings in other worlds who might visit the Beastnet just like how Leo did.

Moreover, there would be a grade 2 world assessment in the future where more and more powerful monsters come out of the portals. Therefore, Leo hoped the skill he blessed to the Flaming Lion King would be very useful.

“It will be very useful to me. Thank you for such a valuable gift.”

Fury thanked Leo, and he could not wait to use and upgrade his newly awakened skill.

“Then, I will leave now, Sir Fury.”

Leo didn’t want to stay there, fearing that the Flaming Lion King might ask more questions about his ‘Ability to help others in awakening their skills’.

Hence, he bid the Flaming Lion King farewell and left the Emberfields with Sutin and Lionel.

“Your Majesty, I have made up my mind.”

After Leo and Lionel left the den, the rank 9 flaming lion Skye said a few words to Fury, who remained silent for a moment before nodding.

“If you are successful in persuading him, please take care of Lionel.”

Fury said those words before leaving his den to test his new skill.

…

Outside the Emberfields,

‘Ding,

A beast hero and a human hero acknowledge you as their leader and wants to follow you. Will you accept them?

‘…’

Suddenly, a system notification appeared in Leo’s head, making him speechless.
