Talent Swallowing Hero

“Why don’t you go first? Otherwise, you will not even get to use your talents.”

Zorak never considered Leo his opponent as he asked Leo to go after him.

“Okay.”

With a clear nod, Leo nodded his head.

[Space manipulation]

Leo used [Space manipulation] to disappear from his place without wasting his time.

However, he didn’t re-appear, making Zorak frown.

“Haha…looks like you are scared already.”

Nevertheless, Zorak didn’t waste his chance to mock and started laughing aloud.

“Is that so?”

[Fireball]

As he was mocking Leo, Zorak heard a calm voice beside his ears; however, he was blasted off into the distance before he could do anything.

<Odren, your participant is not bad>

<What ‘Not bad’? He awakened a freaking [Space manipulation]. Imagine if he becomes the supreme hero with that talent, the grade 1 assessment will be not a problem for that barren world>

<…>

The old remnant spirit didn’t reply to the other remnant spirits’ words and focused on the fight.

“A barbarian from a barren world only knows how to sneak attack.”

Even though Zorak received Leo’s fireball from such a close distance, other than a small burnt layer on his skeletal armour, it didn’t do much damage.

However, that doesn’t mean Zorak was happy with it; instead, he was angry that Leo was able to blast him with a fireball._-.

“Are there any rules saying that I can’t sneak attack?”

Leo mocked Zorak as he walked out of his hidden space.

“To defeat you, I can use my non-elemental talent.”

As the frost devil, Zorak excels in the ice-type attacks; however, he wanted to prove that Leo was not worth using his elemental attacks.

Moreover, he could not take the mocking of a human from a grade 0 world.

[Fireball]

Unlike Leo’s fireball, which was the effect of the [Mighty Combustion], Zorak’s fireball was a talent itself.

So, it looked much more powerful than Leo’s fireball despite belonging to the same level.

“Burn to ashes.”

After condensing the fireball, Zorak released it at Leo.

[Earthquake]

At the same time, Zorak didn’t want Leo to escape once again. So, used his other non-elemental talent to make Leo lose his balance by creating an earthquake.

[Earth Manipulation]

Earlier, Leo wanted to test his [Space Manipulation] talent, and that’s why he was hidden inside the space he created.

However, he felt Zorak was not powerful except for having multiple talents.

‘So what if he has five talents? I have six talents.’

Coupled with his battle experiences and intelligence, Leo felt it was not a problem for him to defeat Zorak.

‘Rumble’

Zorak’s earthquake didn’t reach Leo because his control of the earth was much greater than Zorak’s because of his talent.

Moreover, a multilayered mud wall rose from the ground blocking the incoming fireball.

‘Boom’

The huge explosion occurred; however, nothing much happened except a few cracks on the mud wall.

‘He is not special.’

‘He is just a nobody from a grade 0 world.’

[Fireball]

[Fireball]

Zorak frowned when he noticed Leo had three talents; however, he didn’t want to accept that Leo was powerful.

Soon, he released one fireball after another without any gap.

‘Boom’

‘Rumble’

However, Leo casually summoned a new mud wall or repaired the existing mud wall depending on the damage.

“Are all frost devils this dumb or are you an exception?”

Standing from the other side of the mud walls, Leo mocked Zorak.

Since Zorak was mocking him from the beginning, Leo also did the same whenever he got the chance to anger Zorak.

‘No matter how powerful someone is, if they lose their rationale, then that power is useless.’

It was one of the lessons Leo learned from his experience.

“Damn you…I want to go easy on you because of your grade 0 world.”

Zorak could not control his anger anymore when he heard those words because, as the son of the Frost devil king of the Frost devil world, no one said such words to him.

And now, a nobody from a grade 0 world called him ‘Dumb’.

[Fireball]

[Fireball]

Soon, Zorak rushed towards the mud wall while releasing more and more fireballs.

‘Swoosh’

After reaching the mudwall, Zorak jumped over the mud wall before using his most powerful talent. [Ice burst]

Hundreds of sharp icicles formed around Zorak’s body, blasting out in every direction.

‘Huh? Where is he?’

After using his talent, Zorak realized that Leo was not behind the wall and hurriedly checked his surroundings.

“Instead of a frost devil, you should be called a Dump devil.”

Like before, Zorak once again heard Leo’s voice beside his ears, followed by a huge blast.

After the blast, Leo again disappeared, making Zorak, who was on the ground, frustrated.

“Cough…stop hiding and come out and face me like a man.”

Zorak coughed a mouthful of blood as he shouted at Leo.

“I am here.”

[Mighty combustion]

‘Boom’

Once again, Leo appeared behind Zorak, and this time, he used the main effect of his talent, blasting Zorak’s armour into pieces.

<Particpant Zorak, it is not a death match, and you can give up the fight anytime you want>

The masked remnant spirit informed Zorak that it was not a death match.

“No. It was a death match the moment he made me furious.”

Zorak looked at the armour that turned into pieces and replied to the masked remnant spirit.

“I didn’t want to use this talent against him. It looks like he is so powerful for a grade 0 world.”

Finally, Zorak accepted that Leo was powerful and used another talent that he was supposed to be used only for emergencies.

‘It is a matter of my pride. So, of course, it is an emergency.’

Zorak had already lost his rationale, and there was only one thing in his mind: it was to kill Leo at any cost.

[Devil transformation]

Soon, Zorak’s body started growing from three meters in height to thirty meters.

The transformed Zorak looked like a skeletal devil filled with ice inside the black skeleton.

With the appearance of the devil, the entire surroundings turned cool.

‘Kacha’

The 30-meter devil already looked so powerful, and now even a sword appeared in its hand.

“Rarr”

The huge frost devil looked at Leo and roared before stepping foot on Leo.

“Just because you have become tall doesn’t mean you can become powerful.”

Since Leo had already checked Zorak’s talent, he was ready for it. So, he was not surprised and casually dodged the devil’s foot.

“Rarr”

‘Swoosh’

‘Huh? Looks like you are more intelligent in this form compared to before.’

Seeing that the devil was swinging its sword at the place he re-appeared, Leo praised it.

‘Swoosh’

Nevertheless, he didn’t forget to dodge that huge sword.

‘Rarr’

‘How can it move so fast with a body of that size?’

The huge devil was not giving any time for Leo to use his talents and kept attacking him without any rest.

“Fine…let me summon your opponent with your size.”

Leo teleported very far from the devil and used [Call of the Undead].

‘Rumble’

Soon, the ground shook a little as a fifty-meter tall undead humanoid monster came out of the ground.

“What? He had another talent?”

The remnant spirits and Hermax were shocked when they saw Leo summon an undead monster.
