Talent Swallowing System
79 [Bonus chapter] Swallowing a Special Talent
'This brat is hiding another talent.'
The old remnant spirit was shocked.
<He awakened four powerful talents despite being in a barren world?>
<I wonder how powerful he would have become if he was born in a higher grade world? Odren, it looks like you found a powerful participant who might help that barren world pass the assessment>
<...>
For some reason, the old remnant spirit could not speak even when the other two spirits were talking so much about Leo.
'Interesting. It looks like I don't have to hold back anymore.'
The golden titan Hermax revealed a satisfied smile.
….
"Rar"
The monster that Leo summoned was the strongest undead being he could summon.
Before it became an undead being, it used to be a rank 9 monster king, and it was known for its brute strength.
Leo nearly lost his life while fighting the Ancient goliath king, and if not for the combined efforts of his two shadow vampires, he would have been unable to kill it.
"I will leave the devil to you."
Leo said in a calm tone, looking at the 50-meter undead monster in front of him.
"Roarr"
The ancient goliath king roared in, acknowledging Leo's order before throwing a powerful punch at the frost devil.
'Kacha'
The 30-meter frost devil tried to block the punch using its hands; however, the ancient goliath king destroyed its hands.
"Aargh"
The frost devil roared in pain and released dense ice energy out of its body, nearly freezing the ancient goliath king.
[Mighty Combustion]
Leo knew that the ancient goliath king didn't have any other abilities other than strength. So, he released the heat wave to counter the ice energy released by the frost devil.
"Don't waste any time and finish the fight."
Seeing that the ancient goliath king became free, Leo ordered it to finish the fight.
"Roar"
'Kacha'
The ancient goliath king's muscles bulged, and it gave the frost devil non-stop punches until its exoskeleton was destroyed.
The frost devil was completely helpless against the barrage of powerful punches from the ancient goliath king and fell to the ground and died.
'Swoosh'
Soon, the huge frost devil reverted to Zorak with no signs of any life.
'Ding,
The host's undead summon killed a rank 9 frost devil. Do you want to extract his talent?
'Ding,
The host's talent [Talent Promoter] triggered.
'Ding,
The host received 1000 promote points.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the host for killing a Grade 2 world's being for the first time. The host will be rewarded with the title 'Devil Smasher'.
'Huh?'
Soon, Leo's head was filled with system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised.
'I can extract the talent from him? Which means, his death is real.'
Finally, Leo understood what the old remnant spirit meant earlier.
'Yes. I want to extract his talent.'
Since he had already reset the cooldown time for his talent swallowing ability, Leo decided to extract the talent.
'As for the [Talent promoter] and the title [Devil Killer], I will check them shortly.'
The important thing right now was to swallow Zorak's talent; however, he could not do it openly.
'I hope they won't ask me any questions.'
Leo was worried that the three remnant spirits might see his talent swallowing ability. So, he silently moved the body to the hidden space created by the [Space manipulation].
<The winner of the first match is Participant Leo>
The dragon-headed remnant spirit announced the winner.
'Phew…it looks like they don't mind me taking his body.'
Seeing that the remnant spirits were not talking about Zorak's body, Leo heaved a sigh of relief.
<Participant Leo, according to the rules, you can take a rest for an hour. Do you want to take the rest, or do you want to continue?>
"I want to take a rest."
Even though Leo was not tired from the earlier fight, he wanted to check out his rewards for killing Zorak.
So, he decided to use his break to check the rewards.
….
Soon, Leo found a place to sit down and asked the system, 'System, did you extract the talent?'
'Ding,
The system detected multiple talents in the frost devil's body.
'Ding,
Currently, the system can only extract one talent from one body. Please choose a single talent.
'Right! I forgot about it.'
Soon, Leo thought about Zorak's talents and decided, 'I will choose the Absolute Devour.'
Earlier, the system informed Leo that the reason behind Zorak's multiple talents must be because of the [Absolute Devour].
Even though other talents looked great, Leo felt [Absolute Devour] was a special talent.
'Finding the special talents is very difficult.'
Leo knew how difficult it was to find special talents. So, he decided to swallow that talent.
'Ding,
The talent [Absolue Devour] is extracted. Please swallow it.
Since the body was in the hidden dimension, the remnant spirits could not see or sense anything.
Moreover, they were busy with their discussion regarding Leo's battle prowess.
'Gulp'
Leo swallowed the crystal extracted by the system from Zorak's body without wasting any time.
'Aargh'
As soon as he swallowed it, Leo felt a much higher pain than the pain he used to feel when swallowing the talents in the past.
'As expected, this is a special talent.'
Only a special talent would cause such pain, and Leo knew it already.
'Ding,
The host awakened a new talent [Absoutle Devour]. Please check the details.
However, Leo received the system notification faster than he thought, making him pleasantly surprised.
'Let's hope it is what I expect it is.'
Leo could guess what the talent does from the name, and he hoped it to be right.
'Ding,
Talent name: Absolute Devour (Level 1).
Effect: 1) One percent chance of awakening the talents of the beings consumed by the user after killing them.
2) The talents awakened in this manner can be upgraded by consuming the beings killed by the user.
More information: The user doesn't have to worry about consuming the beings because a devil's mouth will appear on the host's palm. Using that mouth, the user can eat as many beings as possible without worrying about bloating.
'As I expected, it is because of this talent, he was able to even awaken the non-elemental talents.'
Even though it was only a one percent chance of awakening the talent, Leo knew how valuable the talent was.
'As long as I kill a hundred beings, I can get at least one talent. It was much easier to gain talents compared to my 'Talent swallowing ability' which has a long cooldown period of one year.'
'However, with my ability, I can get whatever talent I want; however, that is not the case with the [Absolute Devour].'
Leo compared his talent swallowing ability to the [Absolute Devour], and of course, his talent swallowing ability was superior.
'System, can you tell me why the frost devil has talents whereas the humanoid monsters in my world have skills?'
Leo questioned the system.
In his view, the frost devil was also a humanoid monster, but Zorak had talents instead of skills, unlike the monsters in his world.
So, he asked the difference between the humanoid monsters in his world and the frost devil.
