Talent Swallowing System

Half an hour ago,

[Spectre]

Leo's body turned transparent as he walked past the wall and entered the hall next to the spider queen's resting hall.

'These are….'

Leo could not finish his words as he was shocked at what he had seen in the hall.

However, in the next second, his shock turned into excitement because the entire hall was filled with water spiders of various sizes with varying strength from rank 1 to rank 8.

'Even the heavens want me to become powerful.'

Looking at the hall that was tightly filled with the water spiders, Leo could not help but reveal a cold smile.

'It's time for a massacre.'

[Fire Wyvern Claw]

Without wasting any time, he used his newly merged skill.

'Swoosh'

Sharp transparent dragon-like claws appeared on Leo's both hands, releasing fiery flames.

'Die'

Even though Leo could kill them all in a single attack with the help of [Mighty Combustion], there would be nothing left for him to devour after that.

So, even if it was a little troublesome to kill them without destroying their bodies into nothingness, Leo took this approach as he wanted to upgrade a talent or two from devouring them.

'Since there seemed to be more than one hundred thousand of them, I can reach the last target. Once I complete that target, I can put an end to this mission.'

Leo would barely complete the mission's eighth target [Spider Killer]. Hence, he decided to end the mission after killing and devouring all the water spiders in the hall.

'Ding,

The host killed 10000 rank 3 water spiders.

'Ding,

The host killed 2444 rank 8 water spiders.

.

.

.

'Ding,

The host gained 5000 [Promote points].

.

.

'Ding,

The host devoured 200 rank 7 water spiders and awakened nothing.

.

.

All Leo did inside the hall was a swipe his [Fire Wyvern Claws], and the water spiders would be killed.

Since the hall was tightly closed from the outside, the water spiders didn't have any way to escape from Leo as they died without having a chance to injure Leo.

While killing them, Leo gave a break to his left hand and used the [Absolute Devour], which crazily devoured the water spider's corpses as though it had not eaten anything in the last 100 years.

'Ding,

The host killed and devoured 10000 water spiders and awakened a new talent [Dual Strike].

'Ding,

The system detected similar talents. As for merging them, the decision remains in the host's hands.

After killing and devouring all the water spiders in the hall, Leo received a couple of system notifications, pleasantly surprised.

'A new talent. I only need one more talent to upgrade the [Talent Promoter] to level 4.'

So far, Leo has already upgraded five basic talents into elite ones, and now he has another talent. So, he only needs one more talent to upgrade all his level 4 talents into level 7 talents.

'The other similar talent must be [One Strike]. To merge them, I have to upgrade the [Dual Strike] to level 4 anyway.'

With a thought, he upgraded his new basic talent into an elite talent.

'Ding,

The host completed the eighth target in the mission [Spider Killer].

'Ding,

Kill one million water spiders (Completed).

'Ding,

The host can pick one of the following rewards:

1) 5 percent of potential increase for level 9 [Call of the Undead].

2) 50 percent of potential increase for level 8 [Mighty Combustion].

However, before he could merge [One Strike] and [Dual Strike], Leo received a series of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile.

'I have been waiting for these notifications for a while now.'

Leo was not surprised with the completion of 'killing one million water spiders' because he kept track of his kills from time to time.

'System, show me the potential of the [Call of the Undead].'

Even though he had already decided to pick the second, he wanted to check how much potential his [Call of the Undead] increased since he last checked.

'Ding,

Call of the Undead (Level 9), Potential (68/100).

'Even though I did nothing, the undead summons have increased its potential by 5 percent in a few days. So, why would I pick the first option?'

With that comment, Leo picked the second option.

'Ding,

Mighty Combustion (level 8), Potential (80/100), + 50 percent increase.

'Ding,

Mighty Combustion (level 9), Potential (3 /100).

'Appraise'

With a thought, the full information about the level 9 [Mighty Combustion] appeared in front of Leo.

'Ding,

Talent name:- Mighty Combustion (Rank 8).

Effects:- 1) The user can release a heatwave ranging from one meter to 20 kilometers with a single thought.

2) The user can condense the heatwave around his body to create multiple fireballs that will hit multiple targets within 20 kilometers.

3) The user will create a powerful firestorm that might even injure the low-level supreme ranked beings.

Note: After using the third effect, the user should not use the talent [Mighty Combustion] for the next one hour unless he wants to injure himself severely or might kill himself.

'Firestorm that can even injure the supreme-ranked beings?'

Looking at the newly unlocked effect of his talent, Leo was excited, and he clenched his fists and thought, 'Now, let's see how I can't kill the purple-striped water spider.'

Even though Leo was still not fully confident that he could kill the purple-striped water spider on his own, with the newly unlocked effect, he felt he could do some actual damage.

'Now, I should come up with a strategy to kill the purple-striped water spider.'

Earlier, Leo had fought with the purple-striped water spider for a while. So, he now understood the purple-striped water spider and wanted to come up with the perfect counters for its attacks.

'Rumble'

As Leo was thinking about the perfect strategy, he sensed the entire water den shook slightly.

'Ding,

The barrier around the spider queen's deen has been activated.

'Swoosh'

Soon after, the tightly shut doors of the hall opened as Leo saw 10 level 1 water spiders enter the hall.

'When did they return?'

Leo became slightly anxious when he saw the 10 supreme-ranked water spiders; however, at the same time, he received a series of system notifications that made him reveal a cold smile.
