Talent Swallowing Hero

“Little one, let’s go.”

Leo didn’t want to stay in the spider queen’s den because he had already been hypnotized before he could notice it.

Moreover, he feared what other talents the spider queen and the three spider generals could use against him.

Since he had already gained so much from the water spider race, Le felt there was no need to stay in the abandoned sea any longer.

‘How did he break from the spider queen’s [Hynosis] so soon?’

Like the spider queen, the lion cub was also surprised at the fact that Leo was able to come out of her [Hypnosis] so soon.

‘But the good thing is he will not die.’

The lion cub was not worried that the spider queen would kill him because of his father, the Flaming Lion King; however, he felt bad for Leo, who came back to rescue him from the water spiders for falling under the spider queen’s hypnosis.

So, seeing his break free from the spider queen’s hypnosis, the Lion cub felt relieved.

‘However, I should make sure he gets rewarded properly.’

This was the thought in the lion cub’s head before entering the portal.

‘The only bad thing is I can’t see the power of the newly unlocked effect of the [Mighty Combustion].’

Nevertheless, as long as he was alive, he could use it after 24 hours.

‘Swoosh’

Soon, Leo and the lion cub entered the portal, which closed shortly afterward.

[Mighty Combustion – Firestorm]

After Leo left, a firestorm had become so huge that the entire hall started shaking.

‘How did he…why…who is he?’_-.

As for the spider queen, she was still in shock that Leo not only broke free from her [Hypnosis] but also escaped right in front of her eyes.

‘Swoosh’

Before the firestorm could even reach them, the water spiders felt the fiery heatwave.

“Protect the spider queen.”

Even though the spider queen was the strongest water spider in Beastnet, as her children, the water spiders unconsciously tried to protect her.

‘Boom’

The next second, the firestorm hit him, causing a massive explosion in which the entire hall exploded.

‘Swoosh’

After hitting the water spiders, the firestorm disappeared.

‘Aargh’

However, the two level 2 spider captains were not lucky enough to survive the firestorm as they burned to crisp.

That’s right!

The firestorm was so intense that two level 2 supreme-ranked water spiders were burnt to crisp.

As for the spider generals, the third spider general was injured moderately, and the second spider general was slightly wounded.

If Leo had seen such destructive power, he would have been shocked and excited about it.

Even though the credit goes to the title [Spider Killer], the level 9 [Mighty Combustion]’s new effect should also get equal credit.

As for whether Leo could now kill the level 1 supreme ranked beings on his own with the help of the level 9 [Mighty Combustion], only time would tell; however, chances were very high.

“Catch him…catch that human. Soon, the spider queen came out of her shock, furiously yelled at the spider generals, and continued, “When you are close to him, you can sense my scent. As long as you follow it, you will find him.”

The spider queen had already left a scent on Leo when she hypnotized him. So, she ordered them so that they could find Leo as long as they followed her scent.

After hesitating a little, she said, “I will request the help from the other races in searching for the human.”

The Beastnet is huge, and the spider queen sensed that Leo was definitely not inside her territory, ‘The Abandoned Sea’ anymore. So, she decided to take the help of the other two bestial races.

“Yes, mother.”

The three spider generals hurriedly nodded before leaving the spider queen’s den to search for Leo along with their thousands of rank 9 water spiders in all directions.

‘Swoosh’

The spider queen also flew out of the territory to get help from the other two bestial races, and along the way, she extended her senses to search for Leo.

…..

In Marsh Lands,

Other than the four regions ruled by the bestial rulers, there was another region in Beastnet that was much bigger than those four regions combined.

It was commonly called Wilderness, habitat for all the wild monsters poured into this world after failing their world assessments.

Nevertheless, these wild monsters created their own territories in this region, and Marsh Lands was a region that was avoided by almost all the wild monsters except for a few monsters because it was filled with the marsh.

‘Swoosh’

In the Marsh Lands, there were solid grounds here and there. Above one of such solid grounds, a portal opened as Leo, and the Lion Cub walked out of it.

“Once again I am back to squad one.”

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Leo revealed a slight smile and asked the lion, “Little one, do you know where we are?”

Even though it was familiar surroundings, Leo didn’t know exactly where he was.

When Leo first entered the Beastnet, this was where he appeared; however, before he could do anything, he was captured by the purple-striped water spider and taken to the spider queen’s territory.

“Of course, I know.”

After escaping from the Abandoned sea, the lion cub returned to his arrogant self as he replied, “Only the Marsh Lands have wetlands like this in the Beastnet.”

“Oh. You know the way to your home, right?”

Leo didn’t mind the cub’s arrogance as he asked.

“Of course. You see the light orange-coloured hue in the sky over there.”

The lion cub pointed his little paw at the distant sky and said, “Just travel in that direction and you will end up entering the ‘Emberfields’.”

“Oh. The orange-coloured hue leads to Emberfields and the three other colours would lead to other regions, right?”

“Yes.’

Leo noticed four different colours of hue in the sky and nodded in understanding.

Other than orange, the remaining three colours of hue were blue, brown, and azure. However, these colours were not bright; they were barely noticeable.

‘Ding,

The host used [Space Manipulation]’s last effect. As a result, the host can’t use the talent for an hour.

‘Ding,

The host used [Mighty Combustion]’s last effect. As a result, the host can’t use the talent for an hour.

As Leo was observing the sky, suddenly, the system notifications rang in his head.

The reason Leo was able to open the portal to the place he was currently standing was because of the [Space Manipulation]’s last effect that lets him travel anywhere within 1000 kilometers on a condition that he should have visited that place at least one time.

Not just visiting, but he should have used [Space Manipulation] talent at least once in that place.

‘Even though I was put to sleep by the purple-striped water spider’s poison dart, I used [Space Manipulation] to take out my weapon from the portable dimensional space.’

Since he was entering a grade 1 world, Leo wanted to be ready for any dangers.

However, before he could even take out the weapon, the purple-striped waster spider’s poison darts that contained sleep-inducing poison had put him to sleep.

‘What? An hour cooldown?’

Nevertheless, he was shocked by the cooldown.

When the special effects or powerful effects of any talent or skills were used, the talents and skills could not be used for some time.

However, Leo felt the cooldown of an hour was a little long.

‘Anyway, that new effect has saved my life. So, I can’t complain.’

Nevertheless, Leo was not the type to complain over something like the cooldown and thought, ‘If I use them, I should make sure that I don’t have to fight for another hour.’

If Leo used the last effect of the [Space Manipulation] during the fight, it means the enemy was more powerful than him and could kill him.

After escaping from the powerful enemy, if he falls into the hands of a less powerful enemy like level 1 or level 2 supreme-ranked beast heroes, they could not use teleportation or hide in the secret dimensional space.

It was the same with the final effect of the [Mighty Combustion]. If the enemy or his lackeys survive, he will be dead meat as he can’t use his most powerful talent for another hour.

‘I hope I don’t encounter any supreme-ranked beasts or monsters for an hour.’

With that thought in mind, Leo picked up the lion cub and walked on the muddy ground.

‘Ding,

The host has killed two Level 2 Supreme-ranked water spiders and gained four [Supreme promote points].

Just as he took a few steps, Leo received a system notification followed by more.

‘Ding,

The host has killed all level 2 spider captains. The host will be rewarded with a Beast Soul Stone.

‘Ding,

The host repeatedly offended the spider queen by devouring the spider eggs and spiderlings, killing the spider captains and general.

‘Ding,

Most importantly, the host has the special egg that the spider queen holds dearly. The spider queen is furious and wants nothing but to kill you at any cost.

‘Ding,

A new mission [Spider Queen’s Wrath] is generated. Please click on the notification to learn more about the mission.

‘What?’

Leo was slightly surprised with so many system notifications ringing in his head. Obviously, the last one caught his eye.

‘A new mission? Let’s see what the mission’s objective and reward is.’

Leo’s eyes widened in surprise as he checked the full information of the mission.
