Talent Swallowing Hero

In various locations of the Beastnet,

‘What? The flaming lions also joined the search?’

‘Captain, what will happen to the three bestial races if the flaming lions find the Heir on their own? Will the oath still stand?’

‘The moment they find the Heir, we can say goodbye to our lives. So, stop slacking and continue searching. We have to find the Heir before them.’

The beast heroes from the three bestial races felt pressured as they fastened their search.

If the flaming lions found the Heir, the Flaming Lion King would be able to enter the territories of the other bestial rulers easily and wipe their entire race.

Of course, they would be pressured because it has now become a matter of survival.

‘Damn wild human…in which hole is he hiding?’

Spider Queen and the other two bestial rulers were becoming increasingly anxious with each second.

….

In Ogre’s territory,_-.

The territory adjacent to the Marsh Lands is Ogre’s territory. After crossing the Ogre’s territory, it would be the Emberfields that the Flaming Lion King ruled.

Even though it was called Ogre’s territory, it was inhabited by Ogres and the Metal-clawed vultures.

The metal-clawed vultures hate the Flaming Lion King for killing their King a few months back. So, when the group of metal-clawed vultures saw a lone rank 6 flaming lion running in their territory, they decided to take revenge for their late King.

“Let’s go.”

Soon, that group of metal-clawed vultures rushed toward Leo with their sharp metallic claws.

‘Huh?’

The senses of a rank 6 Heavenly Flaming Lion were almost equivalent to advanced ranked beasts. Hence, he could tell that a group of metal-clawed vultures was coming at him.

‘Damn it…do they not fear the flaming lion king or what?’

Leo didn’t know about the feud between the Flaming lion king and the metal-clawed vultures; however, he could guess that the incoming vultures hated him to the core.

‘In my current form, I can’t kill a single one, not to mention there were more than a dozen metal-clawed vultures in that ground.’

Leo didn’t dare to fight them as he increased his speed towards the Emberfields.

“Do you think you can escape from us?”

The metal-clawed vulture that looked like the leader of the group scoffed at Leo as it increased its speed.

‘Do I have to transform back into a human and kill them?’

When Leo uses the talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion transformation], he can’t use any other talents or skills. That was the limiting factor of talent.

Since he was only a level 6 Heavenly Flaming Lion, Leo could at most kill a group of rank 7 or a rank 8 beasts; however, a group of rank 9 beast heroes was completely out of his reach.

So, he thought of reverting into a human and killing them with a single slash.

‘However, the problem is, I can’t use that talent for an hour. Without that talent, he would have no disguise and have to hide in some hole.’

Moreover, Leo already had a good hiding place, and it would be troublesome to go back as he would surely be caught by one of the three bestial races.

While running towards the Emberfields in his Heavenly Flaming Lion form, Leo encountered a few groups from the three bestial races searching for him.

‘Before I could go back to the marshlands, I will be easily caught by either Bull Generals or Eagle Generals.’

After thinking for a moment, Leo decided, ‘I should try my best not to get caught by them.’

With that thought in mind, Leo increased his speed and intentionally chose the routes that make the metal-clawed vultures hard to follow him.

“No matter how fast you run, you can’t escape from us.”

The leader of the metal-clawed vultures chuckled as it soon caught up with Leo.

“Now, die.”

‘Slash’

Without wasting any time, it slashed its long claws at Leo.

“Swoosh”

However, Leo lowered his body and increased the speed to dodge the metal claws.

“Huh? Nice dodge. Let’s see how you will dodge the next one.”

As soon as the leader of the metal-clawed vultures finished its words, its metal claws shone with silver light as it slashed at Leo.

‘Roar’

Leo tried to dodge the claws like before; however, the vulture was so fast that he didn’t have the time to dodge the attack.

‘Thud’

Since Leo was running at an incredible speed, because of the vulture’s attack, he lost his balance and rolled on the ground before slamming into a huge tree.

“See? Didn’t I say you can’t escape from me?”

Soon, the group of metal-clawed vultures landed on the ground, surrounded Leo, and mocked him.

“Just because we ate a few flaming lions, your King entered this territory and killed my kind, Golden-clawed Vulture King. Now, we are going to eat you. Let’s see what he will do this time.”

The leader of the metal-clawed vultures walked closer to Leo and continued saying,

“I have been waiting for this day for a while now. Finally, we can kill a special flaming lion.”

Since Leo transformed into a Heavenly Flaming Lion, in the eyes of the metal-clawed vultures, he looked like a special flaming lion.

Even though they could not take revenge on the Flaming Lion King, they wanted to kill as many flaming lions as possible and devour them to show their respect to their late King.

“Do you have any last words?”

Directly killing Leo would not satisfy the metal-clawed vultures because their King was brutally killed. So, they planned to toy with him for a while before sacrificing him to their late King.

“I have had….”

“How dare you lowly vultures try to harm someone from my race?”

Suddenly, an angry voice resounded from a distance, and seeing the owner of the voice, the group of metal-clawed vultures became anxious and tried to fly away.
