Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 349 Like Master, Like Sword



The remnant spirits are the small part of a powerful entity’s spirit that was left behind in their [Treasure Lands] or the [God Ruins] to look after them.

Even though they were part of their own spirit, those powerful entities fear that their remnant spirit gains their own consciousness by some external factors.

Once that happens, they would try to return to the main body and slowly take control of the body while replacing the main spirit.

Therefore, those powerful entities leave behind a set of rules for the remnant spirits and one of those rules was not killing the participants entering the [Treasure Land].

The moment they kill the participants with their own hands, the remnant spirit also disappears into the void.

<I am prepared to die along with you. So, if you tell me what you are hiding, we both can live>

Nevertheless, the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God was unable to control his urge to find out Leo’s secret on how he was able to make the special supreme-ranked apostle seal.

Therefore, he decided to go to such lengths that could make his own body scatter into the thin air.

<Also, don’t bother to use your talents or skills because you can’t use them. Even if you use them, it is useless…Keke>

The remnant spirit chuckled evilly as he informed Leo not to try anything funny.

‘This b*stard is really careful.’

Leo cursed the remnant spirit in his head as he gritted his teeth.

“I…will…tell…you.”

Leo felt a little difficult to breathe with the remnant spirit’s arm wrapped around his neck. It made him hard to think. Hence, Leo said he would reveal his secret.

<I will release you only after I hear your secret>

The remnant spirit was having a bad premonition from the time he appeared in front of Leo. Therefore, he didn’t give Leo any chance and asked him to reveal the secret first.

‘I wanted to toy with him a little before swallowing him. I think I have to swallow now.’

Leo wanted to show the remnant spirit how he was going to let his Arcane Silver swallow the Abyssal Demon Sword.

However, since the remnant spirit was aiming to kill him without any regard for a potential apostle, Leo decided to use his new system ability.

[Spirit Swallowing Ability- Target Selection].

With a single thought, Leo activated his new system ability and the pop-up notification came out of the remnant spirit’s head.

[Energy: 4 percent, Swallowing Success Rate: 96 percent].

Of course, Leo was unable to see but he already knew the remnant spirit had only 5 percent energy.

[Spirit Swallowing Ability – Swallow]

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate in using the new system’s ability to swallow the remnant spirit.

‘Swoosh’

As soon as Leo activated his [Spirit Swallowing Abilitiy], a huge transparent Golden-coloured Furnace materialized in front of him.

There were no runes or symbols or anything. Other than its huge size and the shining golden colour, there was nothing special about it.

<W-what is that?>

The remnant spirit that was holding Leo felt a strong pulling force and before he could notice what was happening, he saw Leo rushing towards the Golden Furnace.

<Aargh…argh….stop…it>

The remnant spirit felt unimaginable pain along with a strong suction force that was pulling it into the golden furnace.

“Didn’t you say you are ready to die?”

The closer Leo went to the golden furnace, the tightened arm of the remnant spirit loosened more, making him speak freely.

Leo scoffed at the remnant spirit and without wasting any time, Leo turned around.

‘Swoosh’

<S…stop>

The moment he turned around, the mouth of the furnace was so close to the remnant spirit. He was unable to hold onto Leo anymore as he got pulled into the transparent golden furnace.

‘Ting’

As soon as the remnant spirit pulled into the furnace, a lid appeared in the thin air and covered it.

‘Ding,

The remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God is captured. Do you want to refine it?

‘Ding,

After refining the remnant spirit, you will be rewarded with a random thing belonging to the remnant spirit.

Soon, two system notifications appeared in his head, making him a little surprised.

‘So, this is how the [Spirit Swallowing Abiltiy].’

Even though he had read the information about his new system ability, it was his first time witnessing the actual working of the ability.

So, Leo was a little surprised and thought, ‘Should I refine him directly?’

Of course, Leo rejected that thought as he planned to toy with him for some time before refining.

<Brat…what is this artifact? Release me or else…>

“Or else what?”

Before the remnant spirit could finish his words, Leo mocked him and asked what he would do if he didn’t release him.

<…>

Hearing Leo’s mocking words, the remnant spirit remained silent as he finally came to his senses.

<If you release me, I will remove the limitations I have set on the Abyssal Demon Sword and let you use it>

After coming to his senses, the remnant spirit started using his head and decided to tempt Leo with the high-level abyssal demon sword.

For someone whose world was yet to complete its first world assessment, a high-level supreme grade sword would be an invaluable treasure.

So, the remnant spirit decided to use it to trade for his life.

Even though it was just a remnant spirit, it has almost all the traits of the main soul and the Abyssal Demon God’s main trait was to survive by any means.

Even if he has to kill his follower or friend or even his own blood relation, the Abyssal Demon God won’t hesitate to kill them as long as it guarantees his survival.

“Are you talking about this weapon?”

Soon, a black-coloured sword appeared in front of Leo as he asked the remnant spirit with a slight smile.

<Y-yes>

“But, I already have a weapon companion.”

In the next second, a silver light flashed in front of Leo as Arcane Silver appeared beside the Abyssal Demon God’s sword.

[Arcane Silver’s weapon skill – Artifact Eater].

In front of the remnant spirit’s eyes, Arcane Silver swallowed the Abyssal Demon God’s sword with a mouth that appeared on its handle.

“As the saying goes, two swords can’t fit in the same sheath and my sheath is already taken over by Arcane Silver.”

Leo looked at the remnant spirit with a slight smile while removing the blood mask.

‘Ding,

The host’s weapon Arcane Silver has devoured a high-level supreme-grade sword.

‘Ding,

Arcane Silver needs two weeks to digest the Abyssal Demon God’s sword. Until then, the host can’t use it.

‘Two weeks? Now, it has raised my hopes to the next level.’

When he heard the system notifications Leo could not help but become hopeful because the more time it takes to digest, the greater the benefits would be.

Hence, Leo was looking forward to it.

<What? Why did you do that?>

The remnant spirit didn’t expect Leo to let a low-level supreme-grade weapon devour a high-level supreme-grade weapon. So, he looked at Leo with mixed emotions.

‘Ding,

Reminder: Please extract and swallow the talents within the next minutes; otherwise, the host will lose the Golden Time to use the [Talent Swallowing Abiltiy].
