Talent Swallowing Hero-Chapter 18 Forbidden Curse, Third Talent

“How can I receive such a large amount of experience?”

It was Julia’s first time receiving such a large amount of experience from using her talent. So, of course, she was shocked as she asked Leo for an explanation.

Every time humans use their talent, they would receive some experience that could help their talent level up when enough experience was accumulated.

As the level of the talent increases, the experience their talent needs to upgrade to the next level would also increase.

Nevertheless, the amount of experience also increases significantly, but it would still take a lot of time to improve their talent level.

Generally, the Heroes’ amount of experience from using their talents was pitifully less. They could not even feel that they received the experience; however, they receive a tremendous amount of experience depending on their situation on some special occasions.

For example, if an attack-type hero could kill a higher-rank mutated spirit or monster in a single attack, he would receive a lot of experience and feel that experience entering his body.

As for a healing type hero like Julia, the bigger the wound or more the number of targets she heals, the larger the experience she would gain.

“It is because I am an Advanced hero and you are an Elite hero. So, of course, you would receive a good amount of experience.”

With a slight smile on his face, Leo replied to Julia while secretly checking how much her potential increased.

‘Ding,-.

Potential:- 8 percent / 100 percent.

‘Five percent increase for a single usage. Not bad.’

Leo was satisfied with the amount of experience she gained from using her talent on him.

“Is that so?”

Julia could not believe Leo’s words; however, she had never healed an advanced hero before.

‘Moreover, Brother Leo said he is different from other advanced heroes. So, I don’t have a choice other than to believe him.’

Julia decided not to think much about it and continued thinking, ‘I will just increase my experience points by using my talent on Brother Leo.’

For her, increasing her talent level was more important than doubting Brother Leo.

‘Ding,

The ‘Wave of recovery’ healed the host’s soul injuries partially.

‘Ding,

The ‘Forbidden curse’ activated and damaged those partially healed injuries again.

At the same time, Leo received two system notifications in his head, which he ignored without bothering to check.

….

Time continued to pass and half a day passed by in a flash.

“Brother Leo, there are still three Iron ore caves nearby.”

Julia placed the mission paper on the ground in an Iron ore cave and informed Leo about the other caves.

“Since they are nearby, let’s clear them before setting down in one of the caves for the night.”

Leo nodded his head as he said they should take a rest after clearing those three Iron ore caves.

‘Swoosh’

Soon, the mission paper lit up as the number on it changed.

‘Number of Iron ore caves cleared:- 15.’

That’s right!

Leo cleared 15 Iron ore caves during the past half-day without breaking a sweat.

It only took a minute for him to clear each Iron ore care; however, it took some time for them to find the Iron ore care.

Also, from time to time, they encountered a few rank 4 or rank 5 mutated spirit beasts, which were, of course, taken care of by Leo.

‘Wave of recovery’

As for Julia, after Leo cleared an iron ore cave, she would use her talent on Leo and increase the experience for her talent.

“Brother, the amount of experience I am gaining from healing you is drastically reducing.”

Julia complained when she felt the experience she received was even less than her previous time.

However, it was still a lot of experience compared to the experience she gained from healing her previous teammates.

“Of course, the experience would decrease as you continue to use the same target again and again.”

Leo replied to Julia with a slight smile as he continued, “Still, it must be a lot more than healing the elite heroes, right?”

“Yes.”

Julia nodded her head with a bright smile on her face.

‘Ding,

Potential:- 40 percent / 100 percent.

‘Her talent almost reached halfway into level 5. As long as she continued to use her talent she would become a rank 5 elite hero before the opening of the ‘God ruins’.’ f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Leo checked her potential and revealed a satisfied look on his face.

“So, shall we go and take care of the other three caves?”

Since the mission paper had already updated their newly cleared Iron ore cave, Julia asked Leo as she retrieved the mission paper from the ground.

“Before that, there is something else we need to do.”

After saying that, Leo walked toward one corner of the Iron ore care and lightly touched the wall.

“Huh? What are you doing, Brother Leo?”

Julia was curious about Leo’s actions because every time Leo cleared the cave, they would leave the cave right away.

However, right now, Leo didn’t leave the cave; instead, he seemed to be searching for something.

“It should be somewhere in these walls.”

Leo muttered as he closed his eyes and thought, ‘Earth Manipulation’.

The wall beneath his hand started getting separated as Leo’s hand entered the wall.

‘What? Another talent?’

When Julia saw Leo control the earth wall of the cave, she was shocked by Leo once again.
