Talent Swallowing System
Chapter 352 Talent Swallowing Hero Vs Dragon Summoning Hero (1)

A few years back,

In a secret cave,

"Shawn, are you sure you will be alright on your own? I know you awakened two talents in a single go but still…you are just a level 1 hero."

"Yes, Shawn. Why don't you stay together with us? Your talents are not useful for battle and they even progress very slowly."

"That's right! Even though Leo is just a level 3 hero, we already knew what he was capable of. Without any talent, he killed the Slaves Supervisor and all the guards. With his talent, we can become powerful and create a safe place for others like us to stay in."

A group of young men around 17-18 years were trying to convince 17-year-old Shawn to stay with them.

The group of young men were none other than Dominic, Daniel and a few other friends and followers of Leo.

From the back, 18-year-old Leo looked at Shawn and activated his system's basic feature [Hero Assessment].

'Ding,

[Hero Assessment].

Name: Shawn.

Age: 17

Race: Human.

Talents:

1) Rare Item Halo (level 1): A talent that can help the user in replaceing rare items within 100 meters of his radius.

2) Unknown (Unknown): Unknown.

Note: The host's level and the system's level are too low. Please upgrade it.

'Sigh…what is that second talent? Even with the system, I can't replace out.'

Leo sighed because it was the first time that he failed to see someone's information whose rank was lower than his.

It's been only a couple of months since Leo received the system and freed the other slaves like him by killing the Supervisor and the guards of the underground mines.

So, Leo was unable to figure out Shawn's second talent.

'Since I don't know how to upgrade the system yet, I will just focus on upgrading my strength.'

Leo silently thought in his head and decided to stop Shawn from leaving the group.

Even though Leo and others were not related by blood, they have known each other for 5-6 years and in a place like underground mines, their bond grew thicker and thicker with each passing day and helped each other in the harsh environment.

He also knew that Shawn was an orphan and didn't have a place to return to. Therefore, he decided to stop him from leaving the group which was the new family they created for themselves over the years.

"Even though I want to stay with Brother Leo and you guys, I think the reason why we always experience life and death situations was because of my newly awakened talent."

Before Leo could say something, he was stopped in his tracks when he heard Shawn's words.

"I am not 100 percent sure about it but I knew it was definitely related to my newly awakened talent. So, I think, it is better for me to live on my own as I don't want you guys to die because of my talent."

It was not a decision that was taken on a whim, Shawn made that decision with much difficulty after thinking a lot.

"What are you talking about? How can you say that we will die because of your talent? No….."

"Dominic, don't say anything. I will replace you when I know about my newly awakened talent. At that time, I hope you will welcome me."

With a bitter smile, Shawn interrupted Dominic's words as he looked at Leo as though he was waiting for his permission to leave the group.

"I can tell that you will leave regardless of what I say. So, I will tell you only one thing, 'Survive…survive no matter what. "

Leo said those words with a stern face, not showing any emotions on his face.

"Of course, I will survive no matter what because I still haven't repaid you for giving me a new life."

With a bright smile on his face, Shawn left the secret cave and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

"Boss, why don't you stop…"

"I think it was because of yesterday's incident where I nearly lost my life along with a dozen of our brothers. Do you think he would stay just because I asked him to stay?"

Before Dominic and others could say anything, Leo replied to them and shook his head.

"With Shawn's intelligence and surviving methods, he won't have a problem surviving in this world. So, let's focus on our training. We need to become advanced heroes as soon as possible."

...

Present Time

'Huh? Did he forget I am his master now?'

The Dragon Summoning Hero frowned when he saw the angry look on Shawn's body.

"Ghost, your slave is trying to retort already. Why don't you teach him how to be a loyal slave?"

'Swoosh'

The Dragon Summoning Hero didn't think much about Shawn because no matter how angry a level 7 hero becomes, he can't even leave a single scratch on him.

So, he casually threw Shawn asides and asked the Ghost Dragon to make Shawn suffer in pain but not kill him.

Since Shawn has a special talent [Treasure Halo] which could replace the [God Ruins] and [Treasure Lands] along with other treasures, the Dragon Summoning Hero needs him alive.

"Yes, master."

The Ghost Dragon nodded its huge head and focused its gaze on Shawn.

"Aargh"

Soon, Shawn groaned in pain; however, it only made the black mist that was slowly released by his body faster.

"It looks like you are the friend of my slave."

On the other hand, the Dragon Summoning Hero didn't bother to look at Shawn as he looked at Leo and spoke, "Since you can retrieve the treasures from the [Treasure Land], then it must mean you have enough strength."

"As long as you give me your treasures, I don't mind taking you as my…."

[Spatial Manipulation - Teleportation]

[Battle axe mastery]

[War God's Battle Axe's weapon skill- Titan Strike]

However, Leo didn't bother to hear anything that the Dragon Summoning Hero was telling; instead, he disappeared from his place and reappeared above the Ghost Dragon with a huge battle axe in his hand.

"Huh?"

Before the Dragon Summoning Hero could realize what was happening, he heard a painful dragon roar followed by a 'Thud'.
