Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 247 Failed Expedition?

[Space Manipulation – Teleportation]

‘Swoosh’

Once Leo decided on his target, he didn’t waste any time as he used his talent repeatedly, and after using it ten times, Leo had already reached the Solitary Forest.

For this mission, even though he had to kill a Supreme-ranked hero, Leo didn’t bring any of his followers for multiple reasons; however, the main reason was he wanted to fulfil his revenge on his own.

Another reason was he would get additional rewards if he completed a mission without relying on anyone.

‘Since Theodore is outside the city, don’t have any problem.’

Even before entering the Beastnet, Leo decided to kill Theodore the moment he found an opportunity where he left the city.

Now, not only did Leo have more powerful talents and skills, but he even got an opportunity to complete his revenge.

Therefore, there was no way Leo would miss it and use his own battle prowess to fulfil his revenge and find out the truth.

‘He is in the depths of the Solitary Forest. I think I kow why he left the city.’

Finally, Leo realized and muttered, ‘It must be because of the [Otherworldly Portal].’

When he was in the [Treasure Land], Leo found out about the [Otherworldly Portal] in the uncleared lands close to Phirie City, and he also found out that the City Leader was planning an expedition into the portal._.

‘Did they already enter the portal?’

Leo thought about it for a moment; however, he rejected it after considering, ‘No. Since I can still see him on the map, he must have not started his expedition.’

‘I need to hurry up and kill him before he enters the otherworld portal.’

Leo wanted to end his revenge as soon as possible so that he could have a breakthrough and make enough preparations for the upcoming World Assessment.

Hence, he teleported in the direction of the red dot that was on the map.

…..

In the depths of the [Solitary Forest],

“How could that world be so powerful?”

“Damn you, Theodore….Didn’t you say, it was just a grade 1 world “

“Theodore, are you planning to kill us or what?”

A group of supreme-ranked human heroes were all cursing Theodore, and some tried to hit him.

If not for the muscular supreme-ranked hero stopping the other heroes, They would have vented their full anger on Theodore without a doubt.

There are around 10 supreme-ranked beings, including Theodore. The most noticeable common thing among all these 10 supreme-ranked beings as they were covered in some serious injuries.

“Everyone, come down. Theodore has done his job correctly; however, it’s just that the grade 1 world was more powerful than what the master had said.”

The muscular man was Gorilla; the Slave Engraver sent that to assist Theodore and the other city leaders in entering the portal.

That’s right! Other than Gorilla, every supreme-ranked human hero standing in front of the portal were the city leaders of different cities.

Theodore was responsible for the portal’s research and the world connected to the portal. Hence, all supreme-ranked heroes blamed Theodore when things went south on the other side of the portal.

“Did you forget that I lost my own children? If I had known that the world connected to this portal is that powerful, why would I bring my children and let them get killed in it.”

Theodore was both angry and sad as he shouted at the other city leaders.

Not only did he lose all the rank 9 city guards he brought with him to the other side, he even lost his children, making him regret his decision to bring them.

“You are not the only one who lost family. If not for my brother’s sacrifice, we would have been buried in the otherworld’s soil.”

“Also, did you forget the sacrifice of our rank 9 city guards and other powerful heroes?”

Soon, one city leader after another started complaining about their losses.

“Everyone, stop it.”

Seeing the city leaders behaving like children, Gorilla became furious and shouted at them before saying, “This expedition is a failure and an utter disaster for us. Everyone lost their battle force, and there is no denying it.”

Even though Gorilla was the youngest and weakest supreme-ranked hero among them, no one dared to talk back to him because Gorilla had a special relationship with their master.

“Let me inform everything that happened on the otherside of the portal to the master and let’s see what order he will give us.”

Soon, he ended his words by saying, “Until then, go back to your city and tend to your injuries.”

“Okay”

Everyone agreed with Goriall because there was nothing they could do other than waiting for their master’s orders.

“Gorilla, what about the portal? Are we going to leave it like that?”

One of the city leaders asked Gorilla and continued, “What if those b*stards come out of the portal? Instead of conquering their world, our world will get conquered by them.”

“Don’t worry about them. If they could come, they would have long since entered our world.”

Gorilla assured them, “For now, just focus on recovering your strength and replenishing your battle force.”

“You can all leave now.”

Soon, Gorilla asked all the city leaders except Theodore to leave, who nodded and flew in different directions.

“Gorilla, please put a good word for me.”

After the city leaders left, Theodore didn’t seem sad at all as he requested the muscular man.

“Even though I calm the other city leaders, do you think the master would let you go after not doing your job properly?”

Gorilla scoffed at Theodore and said, “We lost so many rank 9 heroes and master would be definitely angry. I will go and inform the master of everything in person. Hope for the worst and be ready to prepare the consequences..”

As soon as he finished his words, Gorilla flew into the sky and shot in a particular direction like a missile.

“Damn it…how can everyone blame me for everything?”

Theodore was increasingly angry at the fact that everyone was blaming him.

“I did what they asked me to do and now, what would I do if the residents of that world were so powerful?”

“I think it is time for me to recruit once again.”

Even though he lost his family and the entire rank 9 force, Theodore was not worried much because he never relied too much on them.

“After fighting in that world, my talent became a little stronger and I can feel like I might become a level 2 supreme-ranked hero anything now.”

Theodore clenched his fists and muttered, “Master values strength. As long as I prove to him that I am worthy to be his servant, he will forgive me and give me another chance.”

Theodore felt that his only way to escape the Slave Marker’s punishment was by increasing his strength.

“I should go back now and recuperate and upgrade my strength.”

With that thought in mind, Theodore decided to fly to Phirie City.

“Where do you think you are going, City Leader Theodore?”

Just as he was about to fly away, a huge green-coloured tornado came at him, following a familiar voice.

“Who are you? Leo?”

Theodore frowned as he looked at Leo, squinting his eyes and recognizing the voice’s owner.
