Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 289 [Bonus chapter] Returning to Golden Hawk City

‘As I expected, I can’t bring him back to my world.’

Leo could already tell that he could not bring Gredor back to his world; however, he was curious about the reason.

So, he asked the system about it.

?[0??]? ‘Ding,

It was a rule set by the ‘Unknown Entity’ to stop from entering the gradeless world to conquer them.

‘Ding,

Whether it was an ally or an enemy, if someone broke the limits of a supreme being, they could not enter a gradeless.

Even though the system was under the upgrade, it still answered Leo’s question without any delay.

‘Oh. So, it was to protect the gradeless world. What a fair rule!’

Leo scoffed at the rule set by the ‘Unknown Entity.

‘Who cares about the rules when the game starts with unfairness!’

How does it feel to be thrown your world upside down because some ‘Unknown Entity’ was bored with a peaceful world?

What’s more, there were additionally more rules and regulations that were stopping him from bringing his own summon back to his world.

‘Ding,_.

Even though the host could bring the Ancient Devil Goliath King to your world during the world assessment, it would only increase the difficulty to the next level.

‘…’

Why would Leo want to increase the difficulty of the world assessment?

‘If I can’t bring Gredor with me, I can take these Devil Goliath Kings to my world during the world assessment.’

Leo silently thought and asked the system, ‘Will it also increase the difficulty of the world assessment?’

‘Ding,

No. As long as there are no experts beyond the supreme rank in the world, there won’t be any increase in the world assessment’s difficulty.

Leo stopped thinking about it because he would only get frustrated if he thought about the ‘Unknown Entity.

“Gredor, I think it’s time for me to leave this world.”

Since there was not much time for him, Leo decided to bid farewell to the Ancient Devil Goliath as he continued, “I will visit you again in a month…no in four days in your world’s time.”

One day in the Devil Goliath World is equivalent to seven days in the human world. Since he could enter the Devil Goliath World once a month, it would be only four days for the Ancient Devil Goliath.

“Yes, master.”

Gredor nodded and looked at his master with a calm look. As for what he was thinking, no one knows.

…

Golden Hawk City, Gradeless human world,

‘Swoosh’

A portal appeared in the city hall of the Floating City as Leo walked out of it with a satisfied look.

Even though he could not bring Gredor with him, Leo was assured that he summon became the King of a Grade 1 world.

‘Even though I didn’t get any new talent, the gains from this trip to the Devil Goliath were immense.’

Leo shook his head and walked out of the City Hall for fresh air.

“Master, you look happy today.”

The city manager Selphie appeared out of nowhere and asked Leo with a curious smile.

“I am confident that passing the world assessment has increased a lot. So, you could say I am happy.”

Leo casually replied to Selphie before asking, “What is everyone doing? Brief me on it.”

Even though Leo spent only one day in the Devil Goliath World, he was gone for seven days in the Human World.

“The Shadow Vampire King divided the 122 newly awakened citizens into three teams according to their talents and put the three mercenary squads in charge of each group.”

As the city manager, not only can she take care of the city but she will keep an eye on everything that happens inside the city.

So, he started explaining how Victor, the shadow vampire king, was training the newly awakened citizens.

“Two out of three squads went into the Solitary Forest whereas the third squad, it entered the Uncleared Land around the Starlight City.”

“As for the monster and beast citizens, they are currently resting in their recently built abodes.”

The elf fairy briefed Leo pointing to the den-like structures in the city.

Other than those den-like structures, there were many residences for the citizens to rest when they returned from their training.

“It looks like Victor has some plans for his monster and beast followers.”

Actually, the Glacial Imps, Sun Nagas and Fury Golems were not Leo’s followers; instead, they swore their loyalty to Victor whereas Victor swore loyalty to Leo along with his brother Vladimir.

“As for Vladimir, he is hunting alone who knows where and he informed me that he would return only after he became a Supreme-ranked Monster.”

The elf fairy suddenly remembered something and informed Leo about the Shadow Vampire.

“Finally, he set a goal for himself. It’s a good thing.”

Leo was not worried that something might happen to Vladimir in the wilderness or get captured by powerful experts because when it comes to escaping, Vladimir was way better than him.

“Anyway, how many days will it take us to reach Starlight City?”

Since Leo was planning to visit the Everlasting City, he needed to pass through Starlight City.

When his Floating City reached the Starlight City, Leo planned to enter the [God Ruins] in the Uncleared Land around the Starlight City.

“It will take around three more days, City Leader.”

Since the Floating City can move 100 kilometers per day and it’s been flying for the last seven days. Hence, it only needed three more days to reach because Phirie City and Starlight City were separated by only 1000 kilometers.

“Three days?”

Leo nodded and thought, ‘I will cultivate for a day before going to the [God Ruins] in the Uncleared Land. By the time Floating City reaches Starlight City, I can get out of it.’

Since Leo had just returned from a Grade 1 World, Leo felt mentally exhausted. Moreover, he had exhausted so much of his energy in the Devil Goliath World while fighting the Corroded Devil Beasts and the Corroded Colossal Devil Beast.

He was unable to consume the corpses of those Corroded Devil Beasts.

Even though he needed some rest, for him, cultivating was way better than taking resting.

‘Every time I cultivate, I feel refreshed and great. So, why waste my time in taking a casual sleep when I have something better than that.’

Leo didn’t waste any time as he took a small troll around the city to see the buildings before going back to his room to start his cultivation.

‘With the five Fragments of the God Stones I got from the Devil Goliath World, I have a total of seven Fragments of the God Stones now.’

After returning to his room, Leo didn’t start his cultivation directly; instead, he thought about the ‘Fragments of the God Stones.’

‘However, I have to wait until the system completes its upgrade to unlock the new system abilities.’

Since he could buy the system abilities with the help of the Fragments of the God Stones, Leo decided to use them solely for buying the system abilities.

‘Neigh~’

Suddenly, a horse neighed in the distance and Leo knew it was none other than the Moonlight Unicorn.

‘Swoosh’

In no time, the Mother Moonlight Unicorn flew into his room from the window with a multi-coloured egg under its smaller pair of wings.

‘The egg is shining, which means it’s about to hatch.’
