Talent Swallowing System

277 Fighting the Colossal Devil Beast (1)

[Call of the Lightning]

'Swoosh'

Dozens of lightning bolts landed precisely on the weak spots that Leo had marked with his sword.

[Heavenly Fire Purgatory]

The ground below Leo and the colossal devil beast turned red, and with each step the devil beast moved, there was an explosion, causing some damage.

That's not it! Leo didn't waste any time as he went all out and used a peak level 9 talent like [Mighty Combustion].

[Tri-coloured Poison Tornado]

'Slash'

A dozen huge tornadoes appeared in the fire field and tried to do as much damage as possible to the marks left by Leo.

'Roar'

However, even after using all his powerful talents, Leo could do much damage to the colossal devil beast, which shook its body a little before roaring at him.

'Thud'

As usual, after roaring, it rushed towards him.

"As expected, even my powerful attacks could not do much damage."

Leo was not expecting the colossal devil beast to collapse on the ground after using all his powerful talents because his goal was something else.

'The cuts I left on its body opened a little more after using a round of my powerful talents. I just have to repeat the process and create more injuries on those spots.'

To Leo's surprise, the colossal devil beast never bothered to guard its weak points and even allowed Leo to attack them as though it didn't care much about it.

'Or is it looking down on me?'

Leo even doubted that the colossal devil beast was looking down on him.

However, he rejected that thought because Leo could tell that the colossal devil beast was just a mindless beast that won't stop until it killed him.

'The only good thing about this colossal devil beast was, it can't use any long-range skills.'

If that colossal devil beast had long-range skills, there was no way for him to do what he had done to the devil beast so far.

'I think using my talents to do damage is not as useful as I thought it was.'

Only two of the four talents he used to attack the colossal devil beast were peak level 9, and they were waiting for him to complete the upgrade requirements to become supreme-class talents.

As for the remaining two talents, they were only level 8.

Since the colossal devil beast had the strength of a level 6 supreme-ranked, there was no way for Leo to do some real damage with these level 8 and level 9 talents.

'No matter how special those talents were, the gap between my talents and the colossal devil beast was huge.'

Leo shook his head and thought, 'However, I can still do some damage with my war god's battle axe.'

Even though both the Arcane Silver and the War God's battle axe were low-level supreme-grade weapons, the war god's battle axe has more destructive power.

Moreover, Leo had the talent [Battle-axe's mastery], which increased his attack power, even more when wielding the war god's battle axe. Therefore, Leo decided to use the war god's battle axe and focus on dealing as much damage as possible to the weak spots of the colossal devil beast.

'War God's battle axe, come out.'

'Swoosh'

With a call, the huge black-coloured battle axe appeared in Leo's hands as he started planning his attacks on the colossal devil beast.

'Ding,

The potential for the talent [Call of the Lightning] has increased by one percent.

'Ding,

The potential for talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has increased by one percent.

However, just as he was about to start working on his attacks, Leo received a couple of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him.

'What? One percent increase in potential?'

Even though Leo knew that the potential would increase after each use of the talent, it would be pitiful that the system didn't bother to notify him regarding that.

However, all of a sudden, two of his level 8 talents received a one percent increment in their potential, which was completely out of his expectations.

'Ding,

The reasons for receiving such a high potential are:

1) The strength gap between the host's target and the host's level is huge.

2) The host's talent landed perfectly on the target.

3) The effect of the [Divine Comprehension Pill] is still active.

Sensing Leo's surprise, the system gave a list of reasons for receiving a one percent potential increase in the talents.

'Whatever. I know what to do now.'

Suddenly, Leo had a nice idea of what he had to do now.

'Since it gives me one percent of the potential increase, it will be bad not to utilize this opportunity.'

How could Leo let the current opportunity go like that? Without wasting any time, he put his battle-axe away and started farming for the experience points for his talents.

'I think I can use this colossal devil beast to upgrade my [Talent Promoter] to level 8.'

To upgrade the [Talent Promoter], Leo needed to upgrade two special talents from level 7 to level 9 without using advanced stones or fragments of the god stones and was required to follow the general method of upgrading the talent.

[Call of the Lightning] and [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] are the two talents that he was focusing on upgrading to level 9, and he had successfully upgraded to level 8 with around 10 percent potential in level 8.

'All I needed was an 80 percent increase in the potential for both of them. It's time to farm for the experience points.'

[Call of the Lightning]

[Heavenly Fire Purgatory]

'Ding,

The potential for the talent [Call of the Lightning] has increased by one percent.

'Ding,

The potential for talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has increased by one percent.

[Call of the Lightning]

Leo only focused on using these two talents, and he didn't even bother to use the [Space Manipulation] to hide in the secret dimensional space.

Because the rate at which he was spending the energy to use two special talents was much higher than the rate at which he was recovering.

Therefore, Leo avoided using other talents and only used two talents that he wanted to upgrade to level 9.

'Roar'

'Thud'

'Slash'

'Boom'

The flashes of lightning descended from the sky, and the fiery heat waves and explosions were coming from the ground.

The colossal devil beast was becoming furious as Leo kept on dodging its attacks, whereas his attacks were successfully landing on it.

However, other than roaring, it could only continue madly rushing at Leo, just like always.

'12th time.'

'13th time.'

'14th time.'

'50th time.'

'75th time.'

'94th time.'

Leo didn't take any breaks as he always maintained a distance of 15-20 meters from the colossal devil beasts and used his two special talents repeatedly while keeping track of how many times he was using it.

'Ding,

The host's talent [Call of the Lightning] has successfully upgraded to level 9.

'Ding,

The host's talent [Heavenly Fire Purgatory] has successfully upgraded to level 9.

'Finally, they are done.'

When he received those system notifications, Leo heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the colossal devil beast in front of him.

'Even after using my two level 8 talents, it still stands, but half of the cut I made earlier became so huge that I think I can kill it.'

Without wasting any time, Leo summoned the war god's battle axe.
