Talent Swallowing Hero

Since Kaige knew that Leo could not attack him unless he destroyed the Black Tower, he assumed that Leo was rushing closer to the Black Tower to destroy it.

However, the black tower was the first and the most powerful artifact that Kaige has created in his life and he was confident in its defence.

According to him, there was no way a supreme-ranked hero could leave a scratch on it, much less destroy it.

Hence, he warned Leo that it was useless while laughing out loud.

"Who said anything about destroying the Black Tower?"

Leo had successfully dodged all the black missiles released by the Black Tower and was very close to the Black Tower as he replied to Kaige.

'Huh?'

Hearing his words, Kaige frowned as he didn't understand what Leo was trying to do if not trying to destroy his Black Tower.

'Why am I suddenly feeling a bad premonition in my heart?'

At the same time, Kaige felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the evil smile on Leo's face and hurriedly tired to activate one of the defensive skills of the Black Tower.

[Black Tower - Defensive...]

"It's too late now."

However, before Kaige could activate the defensive move, Leo had already reached the base of the Black Tower.

[Arcane Silver - Artifact Devourer]

Whether Kaige activated the Black Tower's defensive move or not, Leo didn't care much about it as he activated the main skill of his Arcane Silver Sword.

Since Arcane Silver Sword is a high-level weapon, it could use the skill [Artifact Devour] to devour even the low-level legend-grade artifact, not to mention, the Black Tower was only a high-level supreme-grade artifact.

Hence, Leo was fully confident in the Arcane Silver Sword's skill and activated it.

'Swoosh'

As soon as Leo activated the weapon's skill [Artifact Devourer], a huge portal opened around the hilt of the sword.

'Swiish'

What followed next was a powerful suction force that came from the portal that started pulling the Black Tower into the portal.

"What? What is happening?"

Kaige, who was inside the Black Tower started losing control over the Black Tower and at the same time, as the Black Tower was shaking heavily, Kaige was unable to stand inside it.

'Swoosh'

In less than a few seconds, the portal opened by the Arcane Silver devoured half of the Black Tower and as for Kaige, he lost complete control over the Black Tower.

'Swiish'

At the same time, he also lost his footing inside the Black Tower and soon, he jumped out of the Black Tower.

No matter how valuable the Black Tower was, it was not as valuable as his life. Moreover, as long as he was alive, he could create another Black Tower as long as he found good resources.

'Not only does this b*stard has a mysterious talent but even his weapon has the same mysterious skill. I need to escape from here.'

It was completely out of Kaige's expectations that Leo's sword could devour other weapons and artifacts.

Without artifacts, Kaige was the weakest leader among the five leaders of the secret organizations. Therefore, Kaige didn't have to think much about it as he decided to escape before Leo killed him.

"Where do you think you are going?"

On the other hand, Leo released the Arcane Sword from his hand. Since it has a soul of its own, Leo knew it would not stop devouring the Black Tower until it was finished.

As for Leo, he looked at Kaige who started running away with his low-level supreme-grade artifact shoes.

However, Leo was not worried much about it because he was no longer restricted from using the [Space Manipulation] talent.

[Space Manipulation - Simple Teleportation]

'Swoosh'

With a single thought, Leo appeared in front of Kaige.

[Abnormal Giant Strength]

The moment he appeared in front of Kaige, Leo casually slapped Kaige's back after activating a special talent.

'Swiish'

Thanks to Leo's casual slap, Kaige lost his momentum and rolled on the ground at an incredible speed.

"There is no way for you to escape from me."

Kaige's body stopped after rolling for more than a dozen kilometers; however, Leo appeared in front of him in a second and scoffed at him.

"Don't kill me...please don't kill me."

Finally, Kaige realized that there was really no way for him to escape from Leo's attacks and started begging.

Even though he was the leader of the Order of the Black Tower, who could make the other leaders of the secret organizations anxious just from his words alone, currently, he was begging a young man in his twenties.

For Kaige, compared to pride and respect, staying alive was the most important thing because he was confident that as long as he was alive, he could become powerful.

Therefore, he swallowed his pride and begged Leo without any hesitation.

"Huh?"

However, Leo was not expecting that the great Kaige would beg him.

"Hm...as long as you convince me that you are worth something, I will spare your life. What do you say?"

Nevertheless, Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he gave an offer to Kaige.

"Prove my worth?"

Kaige became excited when he heard Leo's words and without any hesitation, Kaige started saying his usefulness.

"If you spare my life, I can create the supreme-grade artifacts. Moreover, when my talent upgrades to the Legend Grade, I can even create the Legend-Grade artifacts."

"I will remain loyal to you and take care of a certain portion of this world."

"Also, I will give all the treasures my organization has gathered over the last couple of decades."

Kaige felt that Leo might not be tempted by a single reason. Hence, he gave whatever reasons that come to his mind, hoping that at least one of them could hook Leo.

"Interesting...there are so many uses for letting you live."

After listening to Kaige's words, Leo thought about it and nodded his head before saying, "However, even without you, I can get whatever you mentioned."

'Kacha'

As soon as he finished his words, Leo lifted Kaige's body by the neck before crushing it.
