Talent Swallowing System

“I heard you have three talents. Why don’t you show the other two talents?”

The mountain fiend king was satisfied with its earlier attack despite missing piercing through Leo’s heart. Instead, it asked Leo to show his other three talents.

So far, Leo had only shown his ‘Teleportation talent’ to the Mountain fiend king, and it wanted to see the other two talents.

“There is no hurry in it.”

However, Leo shook his head as he asked, “So, is it your plan to issue the mission ‘Greedy mountain bandits’ in the mission hall?”

Even though Leo’s sword could not pierce through the tough defence of the mountain fiend king, he remained calm and was curious about the mission.

“That’s right! It’s me…Haha.”

The monster nodded its head as it chuckled and continued, “Those who choose the mission will end up becoming my meal.”

“I already expected that much.”

Leo was not surprised at the mountain fiend king’s words.

“Anyway, we are only talking about me. Let’s talk about you now.”

Suddenly, the mountain fiend revealed an ugly smile on its face as it looked at Julia in the distance,

“I wonder what your relationship is with that girl over there? She is very anxious right now. Should I bring her here?”

‘Swoosh’

As soon as it finished its words, the mountain fiend king released its tongue to catch Julia.

“Don’t you dare…Swoosh.”_-.

Leo became serious with the mountain fiend king’s words as he used his teleportation talent and instantly appeared in front of Julia.

“Haha…looks like it’s a very close relationship.”

Even though the mountain fiend king was laughing at Leo, he was only faking it because no matter what he did, Leo only had a calm look as though the mountain fiend king was nothing.

It bothered the mountain fiend king a lot, and when he saw a serious look on Leo’s face, it felt like it found Leo’s weakness.

‘Slash’

‘Swoosh’

“Do you think I am foolish enough to let my tongue be slashed by you twice? It’s not going to happen.”

The mountain fiend king also guessed that Leo would appear in front of Julia. So, it retracted its tongue.

“However, you can’t protect her anymore.”

‘Rrr grr’

Soon, hundreds of mountain fiends started rushing towards Leo and Julia from all over the mountain.

Within no time, they already surrounded Leo and others while waiting for their King’s orders.

“So, are you going to protect or are you going to fight me?”

The mountain fiend king was taking time to summon its entire army because it sensed that it could not kill Leo that easily.

At the same time, after sensing that Leo’s sword didn’t penetrate its defence, it knew that Leo could not kill it either.

However, if its army surrounded Leo’s weakness, it would quickly kill Leo.

“Brother Leo, I am sorry. It’s all becau….”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Before Julia could finish her words, Leo stopped her and looked at the griffin beside Julia.

‘Ding,

Special mutated beast:- Earth Griffin.

Strength:- Rank 5

Attribute:- Earth/ Wind

Status:- Half-injured

Skills:- Earth shield, Zephyr speed, Minor passive healing.

Information:- A variant among the earth griffins that was born with a great determination.

Soon, the information related to the griffin appeared in front of him.

“If you bring her out of this mountain, I will help you with one thing except for God stone. What do you say?”

Surrounded by hundreds of mountain fiends, Leo offered a deal to Griffin.

‘…’

Griffin looked at Leo for a moment and checked its surroundings before nodding its head.

“Good.”

Leo nodded his head as he threw a dark blue coloured stone at Griffin.

‘Gulp’

To Julia’s surprise, Griffin didn’t reject it; instead, it directly swallowed the stone and looked at Julia.

“Julia, while you sit on its back, use your talent and heal its injuries. It won’t reject your help this time.”

Julia didn’t understand why Griffin agreed to Leo’s offer even when he said he wouldn’t be giving the fragment of the god stone.

However, she didn’t ask Leo anything because it was not the right time.

“Go now.”

After Julia mounted the griffin, Leo asked the griffin to leave.

“Not so soon.”

However, why would the mountain fiend king let go of Leo’s weakness?

Moreover, Julia had witnessed its true form. So, it didn’t want Julia to leave the bandit mountain at any cost.

“Don’t let that griffin and the girl leave from here.”

Soon, it ordered its minions without wasting any time.

“Rarr rarr”

The mountain fiends became excited as they finally received the order from their king and jumped at Leo and others.

‘Slash’

However, a silver light flashed as Leo instantly killed the ten mountain fiends that jumped at them in a single slash.

“As long as I am here, no one can stop them from leaving here.”

Leo looked at the mountain fiend king in the distance and scoffed at him before looking at the mountain fiends.

‘Flap flap’

Soon, the griffin started flying into the air.

“Is that so?”

The mountain fiend king scoffed at Leo’s confident words before saying, “Open your wings and follow them.”

‘Kacha’

Just as the mountain fiend king finished its words, wings appeared on a few mountain fiends among the hundreds of mountain fiends.

“As expected of a rank 8 king type monster. You have so many trump cards.”

However, to the mountain fiend king’s surprise, Leo revealed a slight smile as he replied, “However, when it comes to trump cards, if I claim second place, no one would dare to claim first place.”

“Call of Undead.”

Seeing that Julia had already flown halfway down the mountain, Leo used his fourth talent, ‘Call of Undead’.

‘Swoosh’

‘Kacha’

‘Rumble’

Soon, many undead beings started coming out of the ground, making the mountain fiend king surprised.

“If it is your trump card then I am sorry but it’s not enough to stop me or my minions.”

The mountain fiend king was a rank 8 monster who witnessed many things and went through many predicaments. So, it was only surprised for a moment when it saw Leo had the talent to summon the undead.

“Why don’t you say that after seeing my undead beings properly.”

“What?”

After hearing Leo’s mocking words, it checks the undead beings once again; however, the mountain fiend king becomes shocked and anxious this time.

“How is this possible? How did you turn them into undead beings?”
