Talent Swallowing System
27 Stubborn Griffin
Even though Leo had already appraised it earlier, the system asked him to come into contact with the stone to see the special effect.
Usually, Leo would not be very curious about the special effects; however, this time, he could not control his curiosity because it is related to the God stone.
'Even though it is just a fragment of the God stone, he still has some of its power.'
Just from the effects of the 'Fragment of the God stone', Leo could tell that it has some of the God stone's power.
So, he wants to see what special effect it has.
'Ding,
Item name:- Fragment of the God stone.
Special effect:- It can reduce the cooldown on the 'Talent swallowing ability of the host by three months for a single time.
'What? It can reduce the cooldown by three months?'
Leo could not believe his eyes because it was his first time seeing such an effect.
'It's been five years since I received the system; however, it is the first time I can reduce the cooldown by three months.'
'So, I just need to wait for another nine months before swallowing another talent.'
Even though it was only a three-month cooldown reduction, Leo was happy as he knew the value of the time.
'Wait for a second…if I find three fragments of the God stone, I can swallow the next talent right away, right?'
Leo suppressed his excitement as he asked the system about it.
'Ding,
Yes.
'Good…very good.'
With the system's confirmation, Leo decided to find more fragments of the God stone.
'Even though it is very rare, it is not impossible to find more fragments anymore.'
Since there is a single fragment of a God stone, there must be more fragments of the same God stone, right?
Leo thought this in his head as he decided to explore the wilderness more after taking care of the God ruins and his revenge.
'If I continue to explore the wilderness, even if I didn't find the fragment of the God stone, I might even find some useful items that might help Emily and Evan.'
Leo kept note of all the things he had to do in the future.
'Ding,
Do you want to use the special effect of the 'Fragment of the God stone'?
'Ye…wait a second.'
Leo nearly nodded his head; however, he thought he might be wasting the fragment of the God stone on him to reduce three months.
On the other hand, he could use it on a rank 7 hero to help them become a rank 8, which seemed more beneficial than reducing three months.
'Ding,
The host need not worry about it. The normal effect and special effect of the 'Fragment of the God stone' depends on two different energies stored in it.
'Ding,
So, even if the host uses the special effect, the 'Fragment of the God stone' will not disappear, and the host or others can use it.
Just as Leo was thinking of keeping the 'Fragment of the God stone' aside for Julia or Ryan, he received two system notifications in his head that pleasantly surprised him.
'Two types of energies? What are they?'
Leo was curious about the two energies and asked the system about them.
'Ding,
The host needs to become a 'Supreme hero' to learn about such things, or you can upgrade the system.
'But you will not tell me how to upgrade 'You', right?'
Leo didn't bother to ask the system any more questions as he knew the system would not reply to him.
….
"Brother Leo"
Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard Julia call him.
"Are you going to kill it?"
Seeing that Leo came out of his thoughts, Julia asked him while pointing at the griffin that Leo single-handedly subdued.
"Even though its meat could fetch some good price, I am in a good mood today. So, I am not planning to kill it."
Leo shook his head as he removed his hands from the griffin's head.
'Screech'
The moment he removed his hand, the griffin used its last bit of energy to jump at Leo.
However, before it could reach Leo, a hand made up of earth came out of the ground and pulled it back onto the ground.
"Aren't you quite a fierce one?"
Once again, Leo placed his hand on its head as he pressed it down and said, "I don't know why you stole this fragment of the God stone, or I have no interest in learning your story."
"If you want to live, eat them and don't bother me."
Putting a few stamina recovery fruits on the ground, Leo turned his head and walked toward Julia.
"Let's go, Julia."
Since they received what they came from, Leo didn't want to waste any time and decided to leave.
"Yes."
'Wave of recovery'
Julia looked at the griffin and shook her head in pity, and used her talent one last time on the griffin before running after Leo.
'If it encountered someone other than Brother Leo, they would have killed it.'
'As long as it eats those fruits, it could have enough energy to recover from its injuries completely.'
These were the thoughts in Julia's head as she quietly followed behind Leo.
'Screech'
'Swoosh'
However, the griffin didn't bother to eat any fruits and flew toward Leo with great difficulty.
Nevertheless, its speed was barely enough to keep up with Leo and Julia.
"Brother, it's following us…."
"Don't bother looking at it. If it wants to follow, then let it follow."
Before Julia could finish her words, Leo interrupted her as he continued with an emotionless face, "In its current form, it will die even before it can catch up to us."
"But…"
"Let's go and complete our next mission 'Greedy Mountain Bandits'."
Julia was a kind-hearted girl, and even though she didn't have a good opinion of the mutated beasts, she felt pity for the griffin.
However, Leo was cold and emotionless as he asked her not to bother with it.
"I…I can't do it."
Julia tried to control her emotions; however, she could not do it as she turned back to heal the griffin.
'Screech'
However, the griffin screeched at her before moving away from her.
'What?'
Julia raised her brows in confusion as she didn't understand why the griffin would fly away from her when she was trying to heal it.
"It doesn't want your healing. It wants this fragment of the God stone."
Shaking his head, Leo explained why it moved away from Julia's healing range.
"Griffins are known for their stubbornness. So, just let it follow us until it dies."
After saying those words, Leo didn't even bother to wait for Julia as he walked towards a mountain in the distance.
