Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Special Mission for Mercenaries

‘No. Currently, the master is busy on his otherworldly tour. You can tell me what your problem is.’

A melodious voice came from the other side of the call.

“Master has…..and now my city is surrounded by….”

Soon, Theodore briefly explained his current situation.

‘Wait a minute.’

The melodious voice asked Theodore to wait for a minute, and he did without complaining.

‘You are quite lucky.’

In less than a minute, the woman from the other side replied, ‘Before the master went on his otherworldly tour, he sent one of his supreme grade servants.’

“What? Master sent a supreme grade servant?”

Theodore was shocked for a moment before becoming excited.

‘Yes. He will reach Phirie city by afternoon. So, try to survive until then.’

As soon as the woman said those words, the call got disconnected.

‘I need to defend the city for five hours. I can do it.’-.

Soon, Theodore motivated himself and started his preparations for the fight.

…

As the city leader and his guards prepared to stop the invasion, a loud announcement started in the entire Phirie city.

<Those that failed to…

<Those…

Nevertheless, it was not the first monster/beast invasion of Phirie city. So, they released another announcement that made those unwilling to participate in stopping the invasion rush to the outer city gate.

‘Hey, let’s go.’

‘Let’s form a team as usual and kill as many monsters and the mutated beasts as possible.’

‘The mission hall has issued a special mission for mercenaries like us.’

‘Yeah. I saw the rewards for killing the monsters and the beasts.’

Everyone started their preparations, whereas the mercenaries of the city went to the mission hall.

According to city rules, mercenaries don’t belong to any city, and they were not required to participate in stopping the invasions of any city.

However, whenever the monsters or beasts invade the city, that city’s mission hall would issue a special mission for the mercenaries, which rewards them greatly depending on their contribution to stopping the invasion.

So, as usual, the Phirie city’s mission hall has released a special mission for those mercenaries.

…

Special mission for the mercenaries.

During the invasion, kill the monsters and the mutated beasts trying to enter Phirie city.

The rewards for killing the monsters and the mutated beasts with different ranks are as follows:

Rank 1- 3 monster/ mutated beast = 1 Hero coin.

Rank 4 monster/ mutated beast = 10 Hero coins.

Rank 5 monster/ mutated beast = 50 Hero coins.

Rank 6 monster/ mutated beast = 100 Hero coins.

Rank 7 monster/ mutated beast = 1000 Hero coins.

Rank 8 monster/ mutated beast = 10000 Hero coins.

Rank 9 monster/ mutated beast = 10000 Hero coins.

…..

After checking out this special mission on the mission hall’s mission board, all the mercenaries were excited and rushed to the outer gate.

Even though it made the resident heroes of the city a little bit jealous, when they thought about how mercenaries were looked down on by everyone, they felt a little better.

Moreover, the mercenaries have to pay a lot of resident fees in the city, and their lives are continuously in danger because of their missions.

…..

In Leo’s room,

“So, they have already started the announcement.”

As all the city residents were becoming anxious, the perpetrator behind the monster/mutated beast invasion had a lazy look as if he had just woken up from his deep sleep.

“It looks like it is time for the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’ to make his appearance.”

Soon, the lazy look on his face was replaced by a cold look as he looked through the window of his room.

After escaping from the manticore territory with the help of the system and the talents he swallowed, Leo became famous with the title ‘Talent Swallowing Slave’.

However, Leo returned to the same manticore territory he had escaped from and announced his new title, ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’.

That title was famous among the manticores and top-level human heroes.

Of course, everyone thought that Leo could break the slave seal on his body; however, no one knew that he didn’t break it; instead, he was cursed with a ‘Forbidden curse’.

Another thing no one knows about the ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’ was: his appearance because those who have seen him were all killed by him.

“It’s been a while since I’ve worn this face mask.”

A blood-coloured plain mask appeared in Leo’s hand as he thought about the things he had done while wearing it.

‘Swoosh’

“Master, I am excited for the invasion. Let’s go and join soon.”

The shadow vampire came out of nowhere and excitedly said to Leo, making him come out of his thoughts.

“Are you sure you want to make an appearance along with the Talent Swallowing Hero? You might be hunted by the supreme beings from both sides.”

Leo asked Vladimir with a serious look.

“Master, when did I not fight by your side when you were wearing that mask?”

Vladimir asked Leo with a slight smile on his handsome face.

“…”

Leo remained silent for a few moments before saying, “So, shall we go and enjoy the buffet?”
