Talent Swallowing Hero

Inside Golden Hawk City,

"Brother, let me go out and kill some of those b*stards."

Vladimir was furious when he saw that the Golden Hawk City was surrounded by so many supreme-ranked humans and monsters and wanted to kill them.

However, no matter how furious he was, Vladimir didn't make any rash moves as he asked for his elder brother Victor's permission.

"It's too dangerous for us to go out."

Victor, the Shadow Vampire King didn't think much as he directly rejected not only his brother's but also other requests to go out and fight the humans that have evil intentions towards the Golden Hawk City.

"But…"

"With our strength, we might be able to kill the low-level supreme ranked heroes and can fight the mid-level supreme ranked heroes on equal terms; however, there are high-level supreme ranked heroes around us."

Before Vladimir or any other citizens said anything, Victor interrupted them and explained, "Moreover, this city has a strong defensive formation that could even stop the high-level supreme-ranked heroes from forcefully entering. Therefore, the best thing for us to do right now is to survive until Master returns."

Among all his followers, Leo had full confidence in Victor's intelligence and quick wits and he was truly managing well depending on the current situation.

Even though Victor was doing nothing to fight the enemies that surrounded them, sometimes, doing nothing was also a good thing.

"Brother, how can there be so many supreme-ranked heroes?"

Victor's words made a lot of sense to them as they decided not to do anything and even if they do something, they would be sacrificing their lives for nothing.

"Didn't I always say there were powerful humans and monsters hiding in this world?"

When Vladimir and others saw the level 7 and level 8 supreme-ranked heroes surrounding the Golden Hawk City, they were shocked because they were not expecting such strong beings in the world.

However, unlike them, Victor was not shocked; instead, he replied to his young brother saying, "They were all hiding until now and must have come out of their hiding for world assessment."

"However, what I don't understand is why are they attacking us all of a sudden. Moreover, how did they find out about the Golden Hawk City?"

Since Golden Hawk City has the ability to hide from everyone's eyes. So, Victor frowned at who they were able to find and at the same time, they stopped it using some kind of spider silk.

"If the defence mechanism of this city fails, we can all fight to the death and try our best to kill as many of my enemies as possible."

The Silvermoon Wolf and the Infernal Dragonborn didn't care about the strength of the enemies as they said their thoughts that they would only stay calm until the defence mechanism of the city lasts.

"No. There is no need to fight to the death."

However, Victor didn't agree with their words.

"Then? What else can we do when we are surrounded by so many powerful enemies?"

Even though Leo's old followers didn't have any problem following Victor's orders, the newly joined followers were not happy.

Nevertheless, since Leo had entrusted the Shadow Vampire King with the power to make decisions for the city, they were unwillingly following them

Of course, it was only to a certain point and asked the reason behind whatever Victor suggested doing.

"Our goal for today is to survive at any cost. In case the defence barrier of this city fails, we have to clear a way for the citizens to escape while stalling the enemies from chasing after them."

"Since we are all ready to fight to the death, let's not die in vain; instead, let's save as many citizens as possible."

How could Victor not see through what the Silvermoon Wolf, Infernal Dragonborn, Five Bulls, and Three Lions were thinking?

So, Victor explained everything to them since all he was doing now was relying on the barrier of the City.

'...'

The monsters and beasts remained silent after hearing Victor's words and thought those words made sense.

Even though they only joined Leo very recently, they became loyal to Leo who turned them from monsters into natives of the world.

Moreover, Leo promised the Silvermoon Wolf that he would evolve it into a high-level world and gave a monster evolution crystal to the Infernal Dragonborn.

As for the Lions, Leo blessed them with talents that could help them to overcome the elemental disadvantage.

"It's been seven days since Master used the World Ticket to leave this world and all we have to do right now is to stall time until Master returns."

Soon, Victor mentioned Leo's return who might return to this world at any moment now. Hence, he asked them to stay strong and follow his orders even if the city's barrier was destroyed.

'Damn it…how can we be so useless?'

On the other hand, Leo's friends and human followers were frustrated at the fact that they were useless in the current situation.

Because compared to the monster and beast followers that Leo had under him, their strength was lacking as no one had yet to become a supreme-ranked hero.

Even though Shawn became a supreme-ranked hero, it was useless in a fight. Nevertheless, he was planning to curse the enemies the moment the city's barrier disappeared.

'Hopefully, the barrier lasts until Leo returns.'

Everyone was hoping the city's barrier would last while waiting for Leo's return.

...

Outside Golden Hawk City,

"It looks like you will all hide inside this city like turtles…Haha."

The leader who was riding the winged serpent laughed out loud and said, "Everyone, I think they are relying on this city's barrier. Let's show them what we are capable of."

As soon as he finished his words, thousands of the supremely ranked humans and monsters rushed towards the city with their weapons while using their powerful talents to destroy the barrier.

"Boom"

The moment everyone attacked the barrier, the entire city shook a little and cracks started appearing on the barrier.

"Once again."

The leader of the group was excited and ordered them to attack again.

"Don't you dare touch my city?"

Suddenly, a voice resounded from the city that made everyone pause in their movements.
