âThudâ
The Hobgoblin rushed toward Leo with a huge battle axe in his hands.
âSighâ¦It looks like I canât take the items from the last two sections.â
Leo sighed as he knew the time had come for him to get out of the [Treasure land].
Humans could not use their talents unlimited times in a row. Depending on the power of the talent and experience of the human, there would be a limit.
After that limit, they have to wait for a few minutes to a few hours, depending on their recovery speed.
Even though Leo has two rank 9 talents and could use his talents so many times without worrying about exhaustion, he could not overexert himself because of the forbidden curse.
Otherwise, his soul gets destroyed.
âSwooshâ
When the Hobgoblin was about to swing his battle axe to make Leo into two, the old remnant spirit appeared out of thin air and stopped the battle axe.
A single word from him, the rank 9 Hobgoblin King, disappeared into nothingness.
-.
Next, he looked at Leo with a slight smile and said Leo had passed the round.
âHuh? Did my brain get affected along with my soul?â
Leo was confused and thought he saw things because the old remnant spirit would never say those words to him even if he won, much less when he didnât even kill the third monster king.
Seeing the confused look on Leoâs face, the old man shouted.
âNo. I am getting up.â
Leo came out of his thoughts and hurriedly stood up.
Even though he was tired, Leo didnât have any problem walking on his own.
âOld man, how did Iâ¦.â
âZapâ
âWhat are you doing? Go away.â
Just as Leo asked about how he passed the round, the old remnant spirit ripped his shirt, making Leo hurriedly take a few steps back.
Looking at the burnt circular seal on Leoâs chest, the old spirit nodded and muttered,
âHuh?â
Leo frowned when he heard the old spiritâs words and corrected, âOld man, even though it was because of humans I ended up as a slave in the past, this slave seal is not placed by humans. It is the manticore king.â
The old man scoffed at Leo and continued,
âWhat?â
Leo was shocked by the old manâs words because until now, he thought the Manticore King had enslaved him.
Another reason he found the old manâs words hard to believe was that humans were yet to master the techniques related to enslaving.
Soon, the old man sighed because he knew how could humans of this world create slave seals with such mastery.
âSir Odren, please help me in finding that b*stard who placed this slave on me.â
The last line from the old spirit made Leo completely believe his words regarding the slave seal. So, he asked the old man to help him.
The old remnant spirit was shocked by Leoâs words and asked how he knew his name.
âI have my ways, Sir Odren.â
Leo could not tell him about the system. So, he changed the subject and spoke, âBack when I killed the slave master, I didnât know I can remove this seal with his blood.â
âAfter that, from a friend, I learned that I can also remove the slave seal with the blood of the one who placed this slave on me.â
âSo, please help me find that b*stard who placed this slave seal and sold me off.â
Leo requested the old spirit to help him.
Previously, Leo thought that Manticore King placed the slave seals on humans, monsters, and the mutated beasts before selling them back to organizations like âBlack suitsâ.
So, thatâs why he was hunting the manticores and destroying their territories.
However, he realized a human mastermind was behind the Manticore King and enslaving his fellow humans.
âHow could he enslave his fellow humans? Whatâs more, when I got this slave seal, I was only 12 years old.â
Whenever he thought a human was behind this enslavement racket, Leo could not help but become angry.
âItâs been five years.â
The old man asked Leo in a calm tone.
A Slave Marker is the one who originally places the slave seals on someone before selling them off to others for money or other things.
âIt will. I have witnessedâ¦.â
Before Leo could finish his words, the old spirit explained to Leo that it would not work.
âWhat?â
Leo frowned at the spiritâs words because it worked on the rank 7 Earth Griffin. So, he found it hard to believe and explained his experience relating to the Earth Griffin
âSecond enslaver master?â
âOh.â
Finally, Leo understood and completely believed the old remnant spiritâs words.
âSo, what should I do now?â
Since the slave marker had become useless to him, Leo asked the old remnant spirit how to resolve the slave seal on his body.
