Talent Swallowing Hero

Leo's Golden Hawk City has its stealth mode on and it can't be seen by the outsiders. Moreover, even the citizens can't see when they are outside during its stealth mode.

Hence, Leo became serious when he heard the familiar dragon roar just outside the city hall.

"Who dares to make a scene in front of my master's house?"

A rough voice came from a cave from the distance as Sutin, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant, walked out of his cave.

Generally, the Terra Minotaur Tyrant won't bother to come outside of his cave; however, he sensed some powerful fluctuations suddenly appear in the city followed by a dragon roar.

Since City Hall is Leo's house, Sutin thought to take care of the suddenly appeared dragon in front of the city hall.

Currently, Sutin has the strength of level 8 supreme rank and with his special talents, Sutin was confident in taking down the Void Dragon King.

"Huh? A Minotaur Tyrant? Interesting."

The Void Dragon King was surprised to see Sutin; however, it was not worried too much as it was also confident in defeating the Minotaur Tyrant despite only having the strength of level 6 supreme rank.

"Say that what I beat the sh*t out of you."

Sutin could sense that the Void Dragon King was not Leo's beast follower and decided to teach it a lesson.

"How did you enter my city?"

However, before he could attack, Sutin was stopped by Leo who asked the Void Dragon King in a calm tone with a serious look.

For Leo, his city is the safest place where he could stop worrying about his family while he was on his missions; however, the Void Dragon King opened a portal and appeared in front of the City Hall without his permission.

Therefore, it is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.

"I have come here not to fight but to request something."

As soon as the Void Dragon King saw Leo, it was no longer arrogant and bowed its head with respect before saying those words.

"For someone who came to request me something, you sure got manners to barge into my city."

Leo scoffed at the Void Dragon King while thinking about the true motive of the Void Dragon King's visit to his city.

"I am really sorry to directly enter your city without your permission; however, I don't have any other way than to do this."

Soon, the Void Dragon King explained how he was able to open the portal from the residual spatial laws that were left behind in the City Returning Portal.

'Oh'

Leo finally understood and thought, 'I should be careful when using the City Returning Scroll and Teleportation back to the city.'

At the same time, he also muttered, 'Let's see what it is planning to do.'

Leo already knew that the Dragon God and the Void Dragon King were in cahoots and were planning something. Nevertheless, he decided to play along with it and see what it is that they were actually planning.

"Even though I don't like it when others enter my city without my permission, I will hear your request before thinking about what I should do to you."

Leo said these words to the Void Dragon King before ordering the City Manager Selphie, 'Charge the barrier with extra Hero Coins and make it impossible for the Void Dragon King to escape using its teleportation skills.'

Normally, Golden Hawk City has a permanent barrier that will not let anyone enter the city without Leo and Selphie's permission. Of course, the powerful supreme-ranked beings could destroy the barrier and forcefully enter the city.

However, it was different in the Void Dragon King's case because it didn't break the barrier; instead, it used the loophole in the barrier of the city to enter the city using its teleportation abilities.

Therefore, Leo asked Selphie to temporarily increase the power of the barrier using the Hero Coins.

They could also make it permanent; however, for that, they have to spend a lot of Hero Coins and Leo was not in a hurry to spend all his Hero Coins on the barrier because they still have to buy a lot of items for the main city and even the subsidiary cities.

'I will upgrade the barrier of the main city to the Legend grade and the subsidiary cities to the peak supreme grade before the world assessment starts.'

This was the goal Leo set for himself for the City which he was close to accomplishing it with all the Hero Coins he was getting from the [God Ruins] and looting the bodies of the supreme-ranked heroes that he killed in the [Treasure Land].

'Yes, City Leader.'

Selphie instantly disappeared and started working on the temporary boost of the barrier around the city.

"Thank you for giving me a chance, Sir Leo."

The Void Dragon King didn't think there was anything Leo could do to stop it from leaving the city and more importantly, it didn't think Leo didn't have the ability to kill it.

Nevertheless, it thanked Leo and started explaining, "Originally, I was a native of a grade 1 void world; however, due to some external factors, all the powerful heroes of my world were killed and later, without any surprise, my world failed in the world assessment."

"I tried my best and protected my family during the world assessment and we eventually survived. Since my world failed the assessment, we were forced to teleport to a grade 2 Dragon World where the lowest level of the natives was level 1 supreme-rank."

"Due to that b*stard Dragon Summoner, I was forced to leave behind my family and without me, my family can't survive for long in that grade 2 world with their strength."

"I want Sir Leo to open the portal to that grade 2 Dragon World and send me back."

Even though the Void Dragon King was acting, Leo knew whatever the story it narrated to him was real. Thanks to his [Godly Beast Tamer] talent, Leo knew the Void Dragon King was missing its family and would do whatever he wanted to return to his family.

'He is just like me who was willing to do anything to return to his family.'

Earlier, at the place where he fought Morgan, the reason why Leo decided to let the Void Dragon King live was that it reminded Leo of himself.

'I felt pity for it and wanted to see whether I can help it; however, too bad, it trusts the Dragon God more rather than a human who is weaker than it.'

Even though Leo felt pity for the Void Dragon King, it doesn't mean that he would be generous enough to help it when it was trying to plan something with Dragon God.

"So, what can I do about that?"

Leo still didn't understand what the Void Dragon King was planning and asked what he had to do.

Even though Leo had the ability to open the portals, he didn't have the ability to open the portal to the grade 2 Dragon World. So, he asked for it.

[The Dragon God has started watching you]

'Huh? That b*stard is also here.'

Leo was not surprised much by the sudden appearance of the Dragon God as he waited for a reply from the Void Dragon King.
