Talent Swallowing System
Chapter 189 [Bonus Chapter] Leo versus Metal-Clawed Vultures (2)

‘Ding,

The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vulture and gained one of its skills as a reward.

After hunting in the wilderness for a couple of days, it became a piece of cake for Leo to kill the level 1 supreme-ranked beasts.

Of course, it was only possible by using his multiple talents and skills in unison.

‘Finally, a new skill.’

Even though he killed four supreme-ranked beast heroes during the last two days after leaving the Emberfields, the system didn’t reward him with additional rewards saying that the host needed to kill powerful targets to give rewards.

Nevertheless, it also informed him that he would randomly receive a reward once in a while.

‘Ding,

Skill Name: Wind Resistance (Level 1).

Skill Type: Passive

Effect: The effect of the wind element attacks will be reduced by 10 percent.

‘Even though the effect was only 10 percent, it was only at level 1 right now. It might make me immune to wind-related attacks when it is upgraded to level 9 or supreme class skill.’

It was not Leo’s first Passive/ Resistance type skill or talent.

Currently, he has a talent [Water Resistance] and two skills [Poison Resistance] and [Wind Resitance].

‘However, the problem is I can’t upgrade this new skill by [Talent Promoter] or [Absolute Devour]. So, it will take a lot of time to upgrade it naturally.’_-.

Leo muttered to himself before looking at the corpses on the ground.

[Absolute Devour]

Soon, he devoured the rank 9 metal-clawed vultures and stored the level 1 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vulture in his secret dimensional space.

‘I should refine them after collecting all the supreme-ranked vultures.’

Since more and more metal-clawed vultures would be coming for him, Leo decided to turn the supreme-ranked corpses into undead beings after taking care of them.

He didn’t want to get disturbed in the middle like before.

‘Even though I have failed five times in converting the supreme-ranked corpses. I am getting better with each attempt. As long as I continue trying it, I will definitely be successful in the next five attempts for sure.’

Turning a supreme-ranked corpse into undead beings was not an easy task for Leo with his level 9 [Call of the Undead].

Nevertheless, compared to before, he was confident in succeeding after a few more attempts.

‘Screech’

‘Screech’

As Leo was waiting for the metal-clawed vultures, he heard the screeches of many vultures, and in no time, the entire sky was filled with thousands of rank 9 metal-clawed vultures.

“Thanks for coming so soon.”

Leo stretched his huge wyvern wings and shot in the sky at full speed.

[Water Blade]

[Sunfire Bolts]

Even though Leo could instantly turn all the rank 9 metal-clawed vultures into ashes with his [Mghty Combustion’s first effect – Radius Blast], he didn’t use it.

He wanted the corpses of rank 9 beasts to devour and gain a few talents and skills along with the devouring experience.

‘Not only I can devour the corpses, but the potential of these talents and skills would be increased.’

The talents and skills that Leo awakened using [Absolute Devour] were currently stuck at level 8, and he needed to use those talents and skills 100 times each for further upgrade.

So, he decided to farm them while ensuring that the bodies remained in shape for his devouring.

[Claw Strike]

[Spatial manipulation – Secret dimensional space].

Whenever the supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures attacked him, he would dodge them, and if dodging were impossible, he would enter the secret dimensional space.

“War God Battle-Axe, come out.”

[Battle-axe Mastery]

After killing hundreds of ranked metal-clawed vultures, Leo even tried to increase the potential of his talent [Battle-axe Mastery].

With the help of [Talent Promoter] and advanced upgrade stone, he had already upgraded the talent to level 8, and his goal was to upgrade it to level 9 such that killing the supreme-ranked beasts and monsters would become even easier with his quasi-supreme ranked battle-axe.

Rank 9 metal-clawed vultures were killed with ease.

Level 1 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures were killed with some effort.

Level 2 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures were killed with a lot of effort.

As for Level 3 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures, Leo wanted to see whether he could kill them or not; however, there were no level 3 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures for Leo to test his battle prowess.

‘Screech’

“How dare you kill my subordinates?”

Soon, a loud screech from a distance resounded as 10 huge vultures flew towards him.

Among the 10 huge vultures, the center one had four wings instead of two, and its claws were Gold in colour.

As for the remaining vultures, their claws were pale yellow in colour; however, from their size, it was evident that they were powerful metal-clawed vultures.

“Minister”

“Generals.”

Everyone was excited to see that their minister and generals were personally coming to assist them in killing the wild human.

‘Since the powerful bosses are coming, there is no need for the cannon fodder to exist anymore.’

Leo was not worried even with the appearance of the 10 huge metal-clawed vultures; instead, he decided to kill the thousands of rank 9 beasts.

[Mighty Combustion – Radius Blast].

‘Boom’

Soon, a fiery heat wave released from his body that covered one kilometer radius around Leo, successfully killing all the rank 9 metal-clawed vultures.

As for level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures, they were injured moderately and lightly, respectively, depending on how close they were to Leo.

‘Ding,

The host killed 2456 rank 9 metal-clawed vultures and gained 1.22 million [Promote Points].

‘Sigh…If I had consumed all these corpses, I would have gained so many talents or skills.’

Leo sighed; however, he was satisfied with the 1.2 million [Promote Points].

Even after considering the limitation of [Absolute Devour], where his chances of awakening a talent or skill would be reduced to one percent after the successful trigger of its effect, Leo would have gained at least 5 talents or skills without a doubt.

“Everyone, kill him.”

The Vulture Minister became furious as he ordered everyone to attack Leo.

He received an emergency signal from one of the vulture captains and learned that a wild human was killing them. His metal-clawed vultures were already low in number after the death of their king, and a human was killing thousands of his vultures.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to bring all the vulture captains to take care of Leo.

“Yes, minister.”

The nine Vulture Generals nodded before rushing towards Leo along with the Vultures Captains.

“I am waiting for the level 3 supreme-ranked metal-clawed vultures for a while. Let’s see whether I can kill you beasts or not.”

‘Swoosh’

After finishing his words, Leo landed on the ground and waited for the vultures to come close to him.

“Wild human, your overconfidence is going to kill you.”

One of the Vulture Generals mocked Leo as they increased their speed towards Leo.

[Metallic Beak]

Almost all the vultures used the same skill in which their sharp beaks shone with bright light and grew a few inches longer.

‘Swoosh’

Moreover, their speeds also increased after activating that talent.

“Really? Let’s see.”

Leo scoffed back at them as he shouted, [Mighty Combustion’s last effect – Firestorm].
