Talent Swallowing System
Chapter 195 [Bonus Chapter] Rejecting Fury's Offer

Earlier, Fury said he had two reasons for calling Leo. One was to thank him properly with Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit.

As for the second reason, Leo was curious about it and asked Fury.

“It is about your fellow humans.”

Fury hesitated a little before giving his second reason.

“Fellow humans?”

Leo raised his brows and thought, ‘Is he talking about the wild humans in the Beastnet.’

Even though Leo had not met any humans in the Beastnet, he was sure some were living in this world.

Since they were not the natives of the Beastnet, they were considered wild humans or monsters by the natives.

Nevertheless, the Flaming Lion King didn’t call them wild humans or monsters in front of Leo.

“Yes. I know someone enslaved your fellow humans.”_-.

Fury nodded as he continued, “Even though I am not good at removing the enslaving seals, I can help you take revenge by killing the one who enslaved them.”

Even though Fury didn’t know how Leo could escape from the enslaving marker when the most powerful wild human could not escape, he wanted to help Leo.

This was another favour the flaming lion king was willing to do for Leo.

‘What? Someone enslaved the humans in this world?’

On the other hand, Leo was shocked when he heard Fury’s words because he didn’t expect that.

‘Huh? Why does he look so surprised?’

Seeing the shocked look on Leo’s face, the Flaming Lion King frowned.

It was a known fact among the four bestial rulers that the wild humans in this world were also slaves.

He thought every wild human was enslaved until he met Leo, who had clear eyes, unlike the other wild humans he had previously encountered.

‘Wait a second.’

Suddenly, Fury realized something and asked, “Human, do you not belong to the ‘Human Territory in the Wilderness?”

Other than the Ogre’s territory and the Marshlands in the Wilderness of the Beastnet, there were two more territories.

They are the Human territory where human’s residing and the Naga territory that Nether Nagas occupied.

After seeing the shocked look on Leo’s face, Fury realized that Leo might not belong to the Human territory. So, he asked Leo about it.

“I am not part of them, and I arrived in this world five days back before getting captured by the Spider Queen.”

After thinking for a moment, Leo briefly said about his origins.

“So, you are from a gradeless world, and you stumbled upon a treasure that teleported you to this world?”

Fury was surprised to hear Leo’s story and asked, “Did you figure out a way back to your world?”

“According to the treasure that teleported me to this world, I will be teleported back in three weeks, in which I already spent five days in this world, leaving me with 16 days.”

Even though he could tell the Flaming Lion King was kind and generous, he didn’t reveal about the system; instead, he informed him that a treasure temporarily allowed him to stay in the Beastnet.

“It looks like your world’s assessment is near. That’s why your world’s human gods chose you to send you to a grade 1 world like Beastnet to increase your strength.”

Fury laughed a little and said, “Since you don’t belong to the Human territory of the Beastnet, I will change my favour. For the next 15 days, I will help you and make you as strong as powerful.”

‘Human gods chose me?’

On the other hand, Leo was trying to digest Fury’s words because, as far as Leo knows, there were no human gods overlooking the human world.

Other than the [God Ruins] and some [Treasure Lands], the otherworldly beings that descended onto the human world had long left, leaving no connection with the world.

“It’s alright, Sir Fury. You have already helped me a lot.”

Even though the Flaming Lion King’s offer was tempting, Leo kindly rejected it because he didn’t need any help increasing his strength.

Moreover, he already felt he had received more than enough from Fury.

A God Stone and a Supreme Innate Fire Elemental Fruit. Even if any one of these two items appeared in his world, it would shake all the city leaders and supreme-ranked beings in his world.

“…”

Fury didn’t expect Leo to reject his offer.

However, he was not offended; instead, his impression of Leo increased to another level.

According to what he knew, humans were the greediest race he had ever encountered in his life that would not be content with what they had.

However, Leo rejected such a huge offer without any hesitation.

“How about this? Since you seem to have multiple talents, I will help you get another Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.”

Fury didn’t wait for Leo to say anything as he continued, “It will be of Earth Element that can upgrade your level 9 talent to the peak level 9 in an instant along with a 50 percent probability of mutation in that talent.”

“A Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit?”

Leo wanted to reject it; however, when he heard it was an Earth Elemental Fruit, he thought about his talent [Earth Manipulation].

In the starting stages, Leo had relied a lot on the [Earth Manipulation] to survive, and he knew he could do much more if it got mutated or became a supreme class talent.

‘Even though a Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit can’t upgrade a level 9 talent to supreme class, it would fill all the potential in level 9. So if I complete the requirements, I can safely upgrade it.’

After learning about the upgrade requirements for the talent to become a supreme class talent through his [Call of the Undead] talent, Leo was curious about the upgrade requirements for the [Earth Manipulation].

‘The sooner I learn about those requirements, the sooner I can upgrade it to the supreme class.’

With this thought in mind, Leo decided to accept one last item from Fury.

“So, Shall we visit the Zephyr Mountains?”

As soon as Leo agreed, Fury asked Leo with a light chuckle.

‘Huh? A Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit is in the territory of Zephyr Gaint Eagle King’s territory?’
