Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 57 First Kill in the [Treasure Land]

‘What?’

Lexx was already annoyed with the fact that he was not teleported into the [Treasure room].

Moreover, someone was mocking him.

“Since I have to go through you to enter the [Treasure room], I will gladly kill you.”

Nevertheless, Lexx wanted to show Leo the consequences of mocking him.

Even though he didn’t know why he was not teleported to the [Treasure room], he wanted to defeat Leo first before thinking about it.

“Sigh…there are still some hot-blooded young heroes left in this world who get easily offended by a few words.”

Leo sighed and thought, looking at the incoming Lexx.

‘Poison darts’

Hearing those words, Lexx became even more furious as he used his talent without wasting any time.

‘Swoosh’

Hundreds of black-coloured poisonous darts came out of Lexx’s body, and each of them was aimed at Leo.

‘Earth wall’

Using his [Earth manipulation] talent, Leo created a mud wall in front of him, blocking all the darts.

“You have a good talent; however, too bad, you are so arrogant with your words.”

Lexx scoffed at Leo and produced two long poison darts from his body before holding them in his hands.

Those two poison darts were long enough to be called spears which Lexx threw at the mud wall._-.

‘Rumble’

One of the poison spears pierced through the mud wall and destroyed it, whereas the other was aimed at Leo’s heart.

‘It is impossible for him to dodge the second spear.’

Lexx was confident in his spears as there was not enough time for Leo to dodge.

‘Even if he dodges the spear, the spear will kill the girl behind him.’

Thinking about it, Lexx could not help but reveal an evil smile.

‘Swoosh’

However, Leo casually took a step aside to dodge the incoming spear.

‘What the…is he sacrificing the girl?’

Lexx was surprised by Leo’s actions.

However, he didn’t think much because he could kill Leo without any distractions once the girl died.

‘Swoosh’

Nevertheless, he saw Leo hold his poison spear and disappear the next second.

‘What? Where did he go?’

Lexx was shocked because it was the first time someone was able to touch his poison spear.

Moreover, his enemy disappeared into thin air, making Lexx extremely anxious.

“Are you looking for me?”

In the next second, Lexx heard Leo’s voice behind him.

‘What?’

Lexx hurriedly turned back, and he was ready to rerelease hundreds of poison darts at Leo.

‘Swoosh’

However, before he could use them, the poison spear that Leo caught earlier was already inside his heart.

“Is this how you kill your enemies?”

After piercing the poison spear into Lexx’s heart, Leo asked him whether he had done it correctly.

“You…you are not an elite hero. You are an Advanced hero.”

‘Thud’

Just as he finished his words, Lexx fell to the ground with a shocked look on his face.

Lexx thought he was one of the strongest participants in the [Treasure land] because he was only an inch away from becoming an advanced hero.

However, there was already an Advanced hero in the [Treasure land], and to his bad luck, he had encountered him, only to get killed by him.

<You killed a participant. All their treasure points will be transferred to you>

Instead of the regular system notification, Leo heard the remnant spirit’s voice in his head.

‘As expected, the points will be transferred to me.’

Leo revealed a slight smile and looked at Lexx’s corpse on the ground.

‘But, why didn’t the system ask me whether I want to extract the talent or not?’

‘Swoosh’

Soon, Lexx’s body turned into tiny light particles before disappearing into thin air.

‘Wait a second.’

Suddenly, Leo thought of something and frowned, ‘Damn it…now, everyone will know that I have three talents.’

Leo believed the remnant spirit’s words regarding the death in the [Treasure land].

Because of that, Leo didn’t bother to hide his talents and used them.

However, after killing Lexx, he understood that the old man fooled every one in the [Treasure land].

‘Looks like the city leader was right. If we die in this land, we will be teleported out of the [Treasure land].’

Leo shook his head for being careless and using his [Earth Manipulation] talent in front of Lexx.

‘Never mind, there is no use thinking about it now.’

Leo stopped thinking about it; instead, he wanted to use this opportunity.

“Brother Leo.”

On the other hand, Julia was still in confusion regarding the sudden appearance of Lexx, and seeing that Leo killed him, she was shocked.

‘It was him who was aiming to kill Brother Leo.’

Julia didn’t want to believe that Leo killed Lexx without reason. So, she unconsciously came to that conclusion.

“Weren’t curious about what favour I asked from that remnant spirit?”

Leo walked toward Julia; he asked with a calm look.

“Everyone who wants to enter the [Treasure room] should fight me. Only if they win against me can they enter the [Treasure room].”

Seeing that Julia was still confused, Leo explained the favour he had asked from the old man.

“And how is it going to benefit you?”

Julia nodded her head in understanding as she asked about Leo’s benefit.

“What else? If I kill them, I will get all their treasure points.”

Leo’s calm reply made Julia unconsciously take a step back.

She already knew how strong Leo was. Not even a rank 8 monster king could not stand a chance against him, not to mention the young rank 5 and rank 6 heroes.

‘Is he going to kill every one of them?’

Even though she didn’t want to believe it, Leo’s words made her conclude.

“However, if they are willing to give away their treasure points, I don’t have to kill them.”

Leo shrugged his hands as he said he didn’t have to kill anyone as long as the other party was willing to give away their treasure points.

“Nevertheless, it is impossible to happen as these young heroes value the treasures more than their lives.”

Leo knew about human nature very well. So, he didn’t hide his intention to kill his opponents in the process.

‘…’

Julia remained silent before asking, “Brother Leo, you should give them a chance before killing them. Can you do it?”

“Sure.”

Leo didn’t think much as he instantly agreed to Julia’s words.

“Thank you. I will try to persuade them.”

Julia decided to persuade Leo’s opponents into giving up their treasure points.

Nodding his head, Leo walked back to the tree and went back to sleep.

‘I wonder how many treasure points I received from him.’

After closing his eyes, Leo thought about the treasure points he received from Lexx.

<You have 100000 treasure points>

The next second, the old man’s voice resounded in his head.

‘Oh. Not bad.’

Leo nodded his head as he was satisfied with the treasure points he got in less than a minute.

<You have enough treasure points to enter the [Treasure room]. Do you want to enter it?>

As he was satisfied with the treasure points he had, Leo once again heard the old man’s voice, asking him whether he wanted to enter the [Treasure room].

‘Of course.’
