Talent Swallowing System

Leo had already seen the information about the old man and knew who he was.

He was none other than the monster in disguise who was after the supreme grade eggs in Leo's possession.

'Thud'

Even though Leo was waiting for this rank 9 monster, he didn't expect the monster to have such an insane speed.

'Ding,

The host's blood has come into contact with the Dark spectre's breath.

'Ding,

The host's body will be paralyzed for the next five minutes.

Leo was confused at why he couldn't move his body; however, with the system notifications, he understood what caused his body to freeze.

"Don't bother to move your body as it will be just a waste of time. It will be better if you give me the eggs."

The old man walked closer to Leo and once again asked for the supreme grade eggs.

Even though the old man could sense the supreme grade eggs, he was sure that Leo didn't hide them in the storage ring.

That's why he didn't kill Leo in a single go and only paralyzed him.

"Haha…do you think I will give it to you? Since my death is confirmed, then I might as well not give you those eggs."

Nevertheless, Leo was not worried much and laughed.

"Keke…You are crazy, brat."

The old man chuckled and said, "Let's see whether you can say that after I torture you a bit."

'Swoosh'

"How dare a mere spectre dares to torture my master?"

Before the old man could touch Leo, a silhouette came out of Leo's shadow and slashed at the old man with its sharp nails.

"What? A shadow vampire?"

As a rank 9 monster, the old man could instantly recognize the silhouette that came out of Leo's shadow.

It was none other than Vladimir, the shadow vampire.

With the appearance of Bulter Davis, Vladimir didn't have to take care of the unicorn pony anymore. Moreover, he had lots of blood from Davis, making him rest in Leo's shadow, where he would get good sleep.

As for the old man, he was shocked at the sudden appearance of Vladimir and unconsciously stepped back because, like Vladimir said, in front of a shadow vampire, a dark spectre was nothing.

"Shall we play 'Torture' now?"

With an evil smile, Vladimir rushed toward the old man.

"N-no."

Even though the old man was a rank 9 monster, he could be considered the weakest rank 9 monster.

Because they didn't have much battle prowess or strength as their skills mostly helped them in disguise, sneak attacks, and extreme speed to escape in case they sensed the danger.

However, the shadow vampire could be considered the strongest race among the monsters.

Even though Vladimir was only at rank 8, he could kill the rank 9 monsters and the mutated beasts with his skills.

'Swoosh'

Therefore, when the old man heard Vladimir's words, he hurriedly transformed into his true monster form and tried to escape.

In his true form, he looked like a black ghost floating in mid-air.

"Vladimir, shadow imprison."

Seeing that the dark spectre was trying to escape, Leo hurriedly ordered the shadow vampire to imprison the dark spectre.

'Ding,

Monster name: Dark spectre.

Strength: Rank 9

Monster traits: Cunning, coward, Agile, sneaky, and a master of disguise

More information: When dealing with a dark spectre, kill it in a single attack; otherwise, you can't kill it as it will escape.

When he checked the information on his attacker, Leo realized why the system would give him such a high-grade item as a reward for killing this monster.

Even though this monster didn't have great battle prowess, it was cunning and agile. Moreover, he had nearly lost his life earlier if he didn't hide the supreme grade eggs in the secret dimension.

So, he hurriedly ordered Vladimir to imprison the monster.

"I already did that before coming out of your shadow, Master."

With a slight smile on his handsome face, Vladimir replied to Leo before looking at the trapped Dark spectre with his blood-red eyes.

"Should I kill it, Mater?"

In the next second, Vladimir asked for Leo's permission.

"No. Don't kill it. Ihave to kill it with my own hands."

Leo hurriedly stopped the shadow vampire from killing the imprisoned dark spectre.

It was not for revenge for getting a cut on his abdomen; instead, Leo wanted to devour the dark spectre using [Absolute Devour].

Only when Leo killed his target with his own hands could he use his [Absolute Devour], and since the Dark spectre had so many useful skills, Leo wanted to try it.

'If only I had another fragment of God stone, I would have reduced the cooldown of my [Talent swallowing ability] by another three months.'

Leo still needs to wait for another three months to use his [Talent swallowing ability]; however, he didn't have the luxury to keep the Dark spectre around him for that long just for its skills.

"As you wish, Master."

Vladimir nodded, walked closer to the dark spectre, and started toying with it.

'Why is it not saying anything? Wasn't he so excited about torturing me a few moments back?'

While lying on the ground, Leo sensed something was not right as he looked at the dark spectre and tried to find why he suddenly became quiet.

'Wait a second. That should not happen.'

Suddenly, Leo realized what was wrong and hurriedly ordered the shadow vampire, "Vladimir, kill it."

"Huh?"

Hearing his master's sudden order, the shadow vampire frowned as he didn't understand what made Leo worried all of a sudden.

"Haha…you are too late, human."

Finally, the dark spectre started laughing, making the shadow vampire even more confused.

'Is there something I am unable to understand?'

Vladimir frowned; however, he wanted to kill the dark spectre before asking his master about it.

'Ding,

The paralysis effects on the host's body had disappeared.

Leo received the system notification as Vladimir was about to kill the dark spectre.

'Teleport'

Without wasting any time, Leo appeared in front of the dark spectre with a frustrated look and slashed his Arcane silver through it.
