Talent Swallowing Hero

<The final stage of the [Treasure Land] is to kill the current top participant Leo>

The remnant spirit's voice resounded throughout the entire [Treasure Land] as he continued to explain the final stage to all the surviving participants in the [Treasure Land].

<Currently, there are 51 surviving participants left in the [Treasure Land]. The 50 participants could work together to kill Leo or you could even do it individually if you are confident>

<If someone is successful in killing Leo, the remaining participants will get 10 million treasure points along with a 50 percent discount on all the items inside the [Treasure Room]>

<On the other hand, if Leo could kill the 50 participants, it could take all the items inside the [Treasure Room] before leaving the [Treasure Land]>

The remnant spirit didn't stop his words as he added a few more things for the other participants, <All participants will be teleported to Leo's location. Get ready>

As soon as he finished his words, all the participants who didn't know that Leo had already cleared all sections inside the [Treasure Room], were still farming for the treasure points and started disappearing from their locations.

'Swiish'

'Swoosh'

Soon, they started to appear around Leo with confused looks; however, when their eyes landed on the masked figure, all the participants were shocked.

'What?'

'Why is he here?'

'How did the Talent Swallowing Hero appear in this [Treasure Land] all of a sudden.'

'Wait a second…so that brat Leo is the Talent Swallowing Hero, no wonder, he was so powerful despite being very young.'

Soon, their shock turned into absolute fear while looking at Leo.

Leo was already powerful enough to kill them with his battle prowess, not to mention, that he had the high-level supreme-grade weapon.

In short, the remnant spirit sent them to their death.

<There will be a barrier around the 51 participants that stops them from leaving until they complete the final stage>

'I was waiting for the remnant spirit to make a move; however, I didn't expect him to go all out.'

Leo was a little surprised by the sudden announcement of the final stage of the [Treasure Land]; however, unlike the participants, Leo was excited as he could kill all the members of the secret organization inside the [Treasure Land] now.

Currently, there were 50 participants left in the [Treasure Land] other than Leo. Among the 50 participants, five of them were his beast followers and a monster follower.

In the remaining 45, there were 30 humans, 10 monsters and 5 beasts.

'In order to clear this [Treasure Land], I have to kill my followers. What a clever move from that b*stard.'

After hearing all the rules about the final stage, Leo could clearly guess what the remnant spirit wants from him.

The remnant spirit wants Leo to activate the weapon skill to become the Abyssal Demon God's temporary apostle again and it would be possible with the pressure

At the same time, He wants his temporary apostle to be cruel enough to kill those who swore their loyalty to him.

'Does he really think I will kill my followers?'

Even though Leo could kill innocent people to avoid future trouble, he was not the type to kill those who swore their loyalty to him unless they betrayed him.

As for leaving the [Treasure Land], Leo already thought of a plan.

'Before I execute that plan, let's clear these participants.'

Even though the remnant spirit was still testing him whether he was a suitable candidate for his apostle, Leo was grateful to him for bringing all the participants at once place.

"Silvermoon Wolf, Infernal Dragonborn, Lightning Lion, Arctic Ice Lion and Goldrock Lion, let's go."

Leo kept an eye on his new followers while ordering them to join the battle with him.

It was also a test for them to see whether they could fight the temptation and not betray him.

'If they show any signs of betrayal, I don't mind killing them.'

With that thought in mind, Leo summoned the Abyssal Demon Sword and teleported in front of a group of monsters.

'Slash'

With a casual strike, he killed three of them before teleporting to the next batch.

'Assess'

At the same time, Leo assessed the talent of the human participants to make their talents his.

[Soul Search]

[Eye of Truth]

Surprisingly, he found interesting talents in the squad leaders of two secret organizations and decided to swallow them after killing them.

'Slash'

'Slash'

Leo had already got the required information about the five secret organizations. So, he didn't bother to interrogate them much.

Currently, Leo's focus was on getting those two talents as he killed the owners of those talents.

'Clang'

'Ding,

The host's talent [Soul Shield] is triggered and blocked by [Soul Bullet].

'Huh?'

However, just as he was about to extract their talents using the [Talent Swallowing Ability], Leo received a system notification that made him look in the direction where the [Soul Bullet] has come from.

'[Soul Bullet], I can add it to my list.'

Leo didn't have to think much as he decided to extract that [Soul Bullet] also to his talent list and instantly appeared behind that hero.

"If you didn't use that, I might have missed it. Thank you."

After thanking him, Leo killed him.

Time continued to pass and it only took two minutes for Leo and his new followers to kill the 45 participants around them.

…..

'What the hell! Why did't he activate the weapon skill?'

On the other hand, the remnant spirit was frustrated that Leo was not activating the weapon skill despite welding it.

'I have already spent half of my energy in creating the last stage. I have to make him my temporary apostle right in front of my eyes.'

The remnant spirit clenched his fists and after thinking for a moment, he announced, <Leo, you have to kill your followers too since they were also the participants of my [Treasure Land]>

"What if I say no?"

Leo was about to extract the three talents he had his eyes on when he heard the remnant spirit's voice.

However, he didn't hesitate to directly reject the remnant spirit.

<If you don't kill them, you will stay in the [Treasure Land] forever>

Even though Leo activating the weapon skill was important, the remnant spirit wants Leo to kill his followers without any hesitation.

According to the Abyssal Demon God's ideals, one had to be cruel and heartless to get greater power. So, he wanted his apostles to follow his ideals.

"Okay then. I will just stay here forever."

Leo shrugged his hand nonchalantly and replied, "The [Treasure Land] provides me with pure energy for my cultivation. The longer I stay inside the [Treasure Land], the higher my cultivation will reach."

<...>

Hearing those words, the remnant spirit was speechless and nearly coughed blood.

<Ahem…since you are an exceptional one and truly entertained me with your blood-thirsty killings, I will make an exception as long as you activate the Abyssal Demon Sword's Weapon Skill>

'As I expected, he is desperate.'

Leo silently laughed inside his heart and asked the remnant spirit, "Why don't you appear before me? I will use that skill on you."

<Sure>

The remnant spirit instantly appeared in front of Leo without any hesitation.

'He took the bait.'
