Talent Swallowing System

'Sigh…it looks like I have used up all my luck in the last few days.'

Looking at the system notification, Leo sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

'Let it be. Since it failed, this innate space elemental spirit fruit will not fail, right?'

In the next second, a black-coloured fruit appeared in his hands, and Leo didn't waste any time as he ate it in a few bits.

After eating an innate elemental spirit fruit, there was only a small chance of failure. So, Leo was confident that his [Teleportation] talent would mutate as he had already experienced a failure.

'Here comes the pain.'

Gritting his teeth, Leo endured the pain he had already gotten used to.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the host. Your talent [Teleportation] got mutated into a [Space manipulation].

'What?'

Leo was not shocked by the sudden system notification; instead, he was shocked by his mutated talent.

Generally, the element manipulation talents were rare, and Leo already had collected [Earth Manipulation].

Moreover, among all the elements, Space and Time manipulation only existed in the records left behind by the otherworldly Gods.

'It looks like I haven't used up all my luck.'

Leo calmed himself down and hurriedly checked the changes in the effects of his mutated talent.

'Ding,

Talent name: Space Manipulation (level 8)

Effects: 1) The user can teleport anywhere within a 10-kilometer radius.

2) The user can distort the space within a 10-meter radius to dodge the attacks or create a hidden space to temporarily hide.

3) The user can create a dimensional portal space to store the non-living things.

Note:- Another effect will be unlocked when the talent reaches 9.

'As expected of the talent related to the space element. If I keep on using it, I can create my own effects.'

Leo was not surprised much after reading the two new effects of his mutated talent because he was already expecting those effects.

Moreover, Leo was planning to create his own effects in the future because the element manipulation talents could have endless effects.

'I just need to get used to that talent, and I can do it.'

With a slight smile, Leo muttered, 'Open'.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, a small portal appeared beside him.

'It's quite useful, and the space inside the dimension seems unlimited.'

Since he was the one who created the dimensional pocket, Leo could feel the space inside it, and he sensed there was no limit.

'With this newly mutated talent, I can teleport, dodge, hide and carry a lot of stuff. I can face my enemies without worrying about getting ambushed with this talent.'

Leo clenched his fists as he recalled all the powerful enemies he had made during the past few years.

'Also, if my guess is not wrong, that Slaver Marker must be a supreme hero, or at least he must have become one; after all, it's been 10 years since he placed the slave seal on me.'

'Once I resolve my issue with Phirie city, I will come for you.'

Leo thought about someone who made him live a hellish life for the last ten years.

'Anyway, for now, let's check the potential of the [Space Manipulation].'

It's been a while since his [Teleportation] talent had already reached level 8, and according to the note, a new effect would be unlocked.

Leo wanted to see how much experience was needed to reach level 9. So, he checked the potential of the talent.

'Ding,

Talent name:- Space Manipulation (level 8)

Potential:- 0/100

Note:- The previous experience of the talent has been used during its mutation.

'...'

Leo didn't have any words after learning that the experience had already been used for the mutation.

'Nevermind. The talent became more powerful than before and it will not be a problem for me to gather the experience for it.'

With that thought, Leo rested to recover his energy.

….

In some unknown place,

"Embar, did you sense the worry on Odren's face?"

"Yes. Even though he tried to hide it, we knew him for years. So, of course, we can figure it out."

"If I am right, that barren world might be having its assessment soon, and he wants to use that item in [Diamond] section to help them."

"I think he has grown very attached to that barren world…sigh."

"He might be putting his hopes on his participants; however, don't you think it is impossible for him to win against our participants?"

Two projections were talking to one another about the old remnant spirit.

One of them had a dragon head and a human body covered in dragon scales, whereas the other had a thin humanoid body with a white face mask.

"But, rules are rules. I sincerely hope his participant can win as I would like to visit that barren world one more time in the future."

"Me too."

….

Time continued to pass, and five hours passed by in the [Treasure land] in a flash.

'Swoosh'

<Brat, wake up. It's time for the final round>

The old remnant spirit appeared in front of Leo.

"You are here? I am ready."

Leo had already recovered to his pique state during the past five hours because of the residue energies from the innate elemental fruits.

So, when he saw the old remnant spirit, he became excited and informed he was ready.

<I will ask one more time. Are you sure you want to participate in the final round? You might lose your life in the process>

The old remnant spirit held Leo's hand and asked one last time before the final round started.

"Old man, even though I am not ready to die yet, I can't give up on this oppurtunity."

Leo was serious as he didn't think much about replying to the old man.

"Also, I will rather die fighting for this oppurtunity rather than dying in my sleep because of the pain."

At the same time, Leo didn't forget to say which death he preferred more.

<Fine. I hope you can win this round and get that item to break your slave seal>

The old remnant spirit liked Leo's determination and nodded.

<Since you are ready to clash with the death, I will not stop you anymore>

'Swoosh'

As soon as he finished his words, the old remnant spirit and Leo disappeared from their places.
