Talent Swallowing System

"You can't even promise to return my son safely for your 100 years of survival?"

Fury scoffed at them and asked in a serious tone, "Did something happen to my son?"

"No. There is not a single injury on him."

Nora hurriedly replied and swore an oath on the Winged Spider God.

"I, Nora, the Mother of the Water Spiders…"

"I, Sutin, the Terra Bull Tyrant…"

"I, Riseth, the Zephyr Gaint Eagle…"

Soon, the remaining two bestial rulers swore in their respective gods' presence, promising they would return the 'Flaming Lion's Heir with Bloodline' without harm.

Moreover, they even added the condition mentioned by the Flaming Lion King.

'Screech'

'Mooh'

'Trrr'

The three huge phantoms of the beast gods appeared in the sky, assuring the Flaming Lion King.

"Good. You can leave now. I want my son by tonight."

After hearing their oaths, Fury didn't worry about his son and returned to his Majestic Fiery Den.

'I hope they keep their promise. I don't want to kill them as it will only harm the Beastnet.'

Fury silently muttered to himself in his den and closed his eyes to sleep.

For a grade 1 world like Beastnet, having more supreme-ranked beast heroes was important. Without enough powerful beast heroes, it was impossible to pass the next assessment.

….

"Damn it…he is becoming more and more powerful with passage of time."

The three bestial rulers ordered their subordinates to return to their territories as they started a small meeting for themselves.

"Nora, are you sure that you can replace Fury in the next 100 years?"

Riseth asked with a doubtful look.

After seeing how powerful the Flaming Lion King had become, Riseth and Sutin started doubting Nora's plan to eliminate the Flaming Lions from the Beastnet and replace them.

"Even though Fury is becoming more and more powerful, you don't have to worry."

Nora's eight eyes shone purple light as she continued, "I have already collected the drop of the Flaming Lion's Heir and merged them with my special egg."

"I also collected the blood of the various wild monsters in our world and infused them into that egg. With the boost from the Heir's blood, it will not take much time for the egg to hatch."

The spider queen again explained her plan to the other two bestial rulers.

"Nora, we know your plan but does it really work? What can a special spider do?"

Sutin asked the Spider Queen. He was still feeling scared after losing his long horns.

'These idiot.'

Nora cursed the two bestial rulers as she laughed and said, "Haha…you still didn't understand how powerful my child will become."

"The moment it hatches out of the egg, it will be a supreme-ranked beast hero and as long as it consumes the treasures in the wilderness, it will become the strongest beast hero in the Beastnet. Moreover, we don't have to worry about the future world assessment anymore."

"Really? It will be born as a Supreme-ranked beast hero?"

Sutin and Riseth were shocked because Nora didn't inform them about this thing.

"Excellent. We will provide you with the natural treasures from our territories and help you in nurturing it."

Soon, the two bestial rulers became excited and promised to supply the treasures from their territories.

….

In the Spider Queen's hall,

'Ding,

The host killed and devoured 100000 water spiders. No [Promote points] are gained.

Leo was oblivious to the things that happened between the four bestial rulers of the Beastnet as he continued devouring the water spider eggs.

'Ding,

The host awakened a new talent [Water Resitance].

'What? A new talent?'

Leo was not expecting to awaken a new talent because the chances of awakening a talent or skill from devouring the water spider were reduced to one percent.

Moreover, he was devouring the water spider eggs, not the rank 9 water spiders. So, Leo's chances of awakening a talent or skill would be further reduced, making it impossible to awaken anything.

However, the system informed him that he had awakened a new talent.

'Ding,

Until now, the host has devoured more than 750000 water spiders. So, there is no need for the host to get surprised.

'That's right! I devoured many water spiders.'

Finally, Leo was not surprised anymore and thought, 'So, if I devour thousands of beasts or monsters from the same race, even if they were only rank 1, I will awaken a talent or skill for sure, right?'

With such a revelation, Leo became excited and knew what to do in the future to gain more talents or skills.

'However, I don't think I can complete the next target with the remaining water spider eggs.'

Looking at the 100 or so eggs in front of him, Leo shook his head and thought, 'It looks like I need to go and kill more water spiders.'

Leo was expecting that his rewards from the mission [Spider Killer] would be worthwhile after killing one million water spiders.

Therefore, he didn't waste any time as he continued devouring the remaining eggs while checking out the information on his new talent.

'Ding,

Talent Name: Water Resistance (Level 1).

Talent Type: Passive.

Effect: The effects of the water-type attacks will be decreased by 5 percent.

'Upgrade to level 4.'

With a single thought, Leo spent 13000 [Promote points] and upgraded it to level 4 and the effect changed from 5 percent to 30 percent.

'A passive? Not bad.'

Leo nodded as he liked passive talents and skills more.

'Ding,

The system detected a special egg. Please check the information on the egg before devouring it.

From the beginning, Leo was not looking at the spider eggs while devouring them; instead, he was checking his talents and skills while planning his future.

So, he didn't notice an egg that looked different from the other eggs.

Nevertheless, the system was there to help him.

'Huh? A special egg?'

Leo was surprised by the sudden system notification and saw a multi-coloured egg.

'It indeed looks like a special one.'

With that thought, Leo checked the information on the egg, only to be shocked by the data provided by the system.
