Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Let’s see what he will do now?’

Leo was curious whether the Nether Naga King would kill the Wind Serpent King to recruit him.

“…”

The Nether Naga King wanted to kill the Wind Serpent King for disturbing him earlier as he was enticing the human; however, Wind Serpent King is an asset to him.

However, after hearing Leo’s condition to join the Naga’s territory, he was tempted to kill the Wind Serpent King.

‘Wind Serpent King is a peak level 4 supreme-ranked beast hero whereas the wild human has a level 6 supreme-ranked beast hero as his servant.’

Soon, the Nether Naga King started thinking about the pros and cons of killing the Wind Serpent King.

‘Since his entire army has already been killed, he could not increase his army at a faster rate. Moreover, consuming his meat would help the level 1 and level 2 supreme-ranked snakes in the territory to increase their strength at a faster pace.’

The pros of killing the Wind Serpent King clearly outweigh the cons as the Nether Naga King looked at the Wind Serpent King.

“Nether Naga, why are you looking at me like that? Do you really want to kill me for that rank 9 wild human?”

Initially, the Wind Serpent King didn’t think the Nether Naga King would consider Leo’s condition; however, when he saw how the Nether Naga King was looking at him, the Wind Serpent King became anxious.

“Human, can you reconsider your condition? I will make sure the Wind Serpent King tries anything funny with you.”_-.

The Nether Naga King shook his head and asked Leo to reconsider his condition.

‘However, losing an about to become level 5 supreme-ranked beast hero is still a big loss.’

Even though the pros of killing the Wind Serpent King clearly outweigh the cons, the Nether Naga King was not acting in a hurry; instead, he asked Leo to change his decision.

‘I know big brother Nether Naga is not the type to abandon one of his brothers.’

The Wind Serpent King heaved a sigh of relief and praised the Nether Naga King in his heart.

“Fine then. If you don’t want to kill him, we can only fight to death then.”

Leo scoffed at the Nether Naga King and ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant, “Sutin, get ready. Let’s see whether….”

“Wait, human. There is no need to fight over a small issue.”

However, before Leo could finish his order to the Terra Bull Tyrant, the Nether Naga King stopped Leo and said it was a minor issue.

“So, are you going to kill him?”

Leo coldly smiled in his heart as he asked with a nonchalant look.

“As long as you are willing to join the Naga’s territory, I will fullfil your condition.”

A peak level 4 supreme rank beast hero? Or a level 6 supreme rank beast hero who was one of the four bestial rulers and a rank 9 human with some unparalleled battle prowess that didn’t belong to a rank 9 human hero?

The answer was evident as the Nether Naga King chose Leo and the Terra Bull Tyrant over the Wind Serpent King.

“Nether Naga, what do you mean fulfilling his condition? Are you going to kill me because of him?”

The Wind Serpent King was praising the Nether Naga King just a few seconds back; however, now, he heard that the Nether Naga said killing him was a minor issue.

“Viper, Basilisk and Python, capture him.”

The Fire Viper King and the Earth Python King were surprised that the Nether Naga King was willing to kill the Wind Serpent King for a wild human who tamed the Terra Bull Tyrant.

They didn’t know what to do as they looked at each other.

‘Hiss~’

“Why are you looking at each other? Didn’t you hear what the Nether Naga has said?”

From the other side, the Lightning Naga King hissed at them, and the three snake kings stopped thinking and glided towards the Wind Serpent King.

“Don’t take it to your heart, brother. We are just following the orders.”

“You would have done the same if you were in our place, right?”

The Wind Serpent King was still in shock as the three snake kings pressed him to the ground.

The three snake kings justified their actions as they used their physical strength along with some of their skills to prevent the Wind Serpent King from escaping.

‘Hiss~’

“What are you doing? Let me go.”

Only after being captured by his fellow snake kings did the Wind Serpent King come out of shock as he angrily hissed at them.

‘…’

However, the three snake kings didn’t bother to reply as he waited for the Nether Naga King’s orders.

Even though they were the kings of the Naga’s territory, they were nothing in front of the Nether Naga King and the Lightning Naga King.

And they have already sworn their allegiance to those two snake kings and officially made them the kings of the Naga’s territory.

Therefore, they followed all their orders without asking why.

‘Hiss~’

Seeing that the three snake kings captured the Wind Serpent King, the Nether Naga King hissed at them with a satisfied look.

“Human, drop your blood on the Contract Stone and I will kill him according to the conditions.”

Even though the Wind Serpent King was captured, the Nether Naga King didn’t kill him; instead, he asked Leo to complete the contract first.

Not every beast hero would be as dumb as the Terra Bull Tyrant, who was careless with the oath and let Leo kill his underlings.

However, the Nether Naga King was cunning and careful in his actions.

Since these serpents were not the natives of this world, they didn’t have any Beast God to make Leo take an oath in the presence of their god. So, the Nether Naga King could only use a supreme grade item, ‘Contract Stone,’ to make Leo bound by the terms and conditions of their deal.

“Sutin, did you see how careful the Nether Naga King is when dealing with contracts? You should be the same.”

Leo didn’t reply to the Nether Naga King; instead, he showed the Nether Naga King as an example for the Terra Bull Tyrant and asked him to learn how to be as cautious as the Nether Naga King.

“Okay, Master. I understood.”

Since the Terra Bull Tyrant had experienced something that could not be forgettable regarding the oaths and contracts, he knew what Leo was trying to say.

Moreover, he quickly understood it because of that experience.

“Human, stop wasting time and drop your blood.”

Seeing how Leo was wasting time, the Nether Naga King felt something was wrong as he urged Leo to drop his blood on the Contract Stone.

“Looks like it is inevitable for us to fight today.”

However, Leo didn’t show any interest in dropping his blood on the Contract Stone as he ordered the Terra Bull Tyrant, “Sutin, are you ready?”

“I was ready long back and I am just waiting for your orders, master.”

Sutin violently pawed the ground with his left foreleg and excitedly nodded.

“Let’s begin the fight then.”
