Apex Star

Chapter 24: Monstrous genius Part 2

As the two Grand Elders were chatting with Denzel and Sophie, things were getting heated down below.

Seeing the five Stage 7 men coming towards him, Nova was prepared to use the new powers he got from the Apex Star.

"Blazing Fire" chanted Nova quietly.

Golden flames that seemed capable of burning the world started appearing 10 meters around Nova.

The enforcement team instantly stopped in their tracks sensing the aura of destruction in front of them.

They were amazed by the threat coming from the golden flames emitted by Nova.

'Is he only a Stage 5 kid?' thought the captain of the enforcement team, Darius. "Quickly form the chain defensive array!" he ordered.

The other members quickly got in a star-shaped formation and it was almost as if their energy melted and fused. Everyone was bound by a chain that transmitted their energy equally among them.

This defensive array was capable of resisting even a Stage 8 attack, what to say about a Stage 5? Of course, what happened next completely changed their view.

As if the flames had a mind of their own they quickly changed their form into hundreds of smaller fireballs.

The fireballs shooted at each member in equal fashion greatly weakening the defensive formation array.

They seemed to forget about Nova who quickly appeared in front of the weakest member surprising the latter greatly.

Taking a direct punch in the face by Nova, the enforcement member saw green stars appear in his eyes and lost consciousness. Also greatly weakening the array source.

Without a stop, Nova disappeared from his place and appeared in front of the other three members and quickly beat them too.

Remaining alone the captain was stunned to see how easily his other teammates fell one after the other.

"What are you?! Are you a Stage 5?" asked the captain somewhat perplexed by Nova's power.

"You didn't even want to find out the truth about what happened and still have the gall to complain?!" said an angry Nova.

'What? Is he not a demon then, what is happening?!' the captain thought the entire situation strange. If Nova was a demon then he would already kill the entire crowd if he was exposed. Not to say about even conversing with him and sparing his teammates' lives.

Without missing a beat, Nova arrived before the captain and kicked him away into a nearby wall. The wall was brought down by the impact and one could even see the captain barely struggling to maintain his consciousness.

Still feeling angry Nova wanted to beat the captain a little bit more.

Before even coming close to him though, a voice sounded that attracted everyone's attention.

"Please stop, little one. I think that's enough venting considering they couldn't even touch your clothes." said a powerful voice that resounded in the entire plaza.

Looking toward where the voice came from, Nova was surprised to see Denzel and Sophie along with two other individuals in grey robes with a tag that said 'Grand Elder' on their shoulders.

The two of them were naturally 'Grand Elders' Ria and Ghall. Denzel quickly tried to diffuse the atmosphere.

"Nova, don't take it wrong, the two persons here are Grand Elder Ria and Ghall." Denzel started to explain the situation to Nova.

"They watched the whole thing from the beginning but didn't step in because they wanted to see the limits of your power."

"Oh, hello Grand Elders. As you probably know I'm Nova. I'm curious though, why did the elders not stop the fight from happening?" Nova was really surprised to see the elders letting him beat their people.

After considering for a moment, Grand elder Ghall said; "There were two reasons actually, the first is that we wanted to see your full strength. As for the second, its actually about the Enforcement Team's performance.

We heard numerous complaints about the Enforcement Team's method of doing things without even searching for the truth.

If this boy was any other disciple without the power to resist would you have killed him, you idiots?!" once again Grand Elder Ghall's voice resounded in the plaza, but this time everyone almost fell to the ground.

It was clear that Grand Elder Ghall was enraged, and not only him but also the beautiful and quiet grand elder Ria.

The pressure bearing on the captain of the enforcement team was the highest, by luck or not the others were passed out on the ground by Nova.

"I apologize to Grand Elders and this kid here, it's entirely my fault that I was swayed into thinking that this kid is a demon.

Please punish me and spare my other teammates who only followed my orders." Barely speaking, from the pressure bearing on him, Darius apologized.

Nova was surprised to see this guy taking all the blame. And more surprised to once again hear that he was a demon.

Just as Grand Elder Ghall said, he vented enough on them without actually suffering a scratch.

"Hmm, for me it's okay as long as we all forget about this matter entirely." Said Nova also referring to the room he destroyed.

The Grand Elders' expression also softened a bit when they heard Darius taking all the blame on him, and Nova forgetting about this matter.

"Captain Darius go to the Enforcement Hall and request a star point deduction from your actions.

If you don't do it in two hours you can forget about your status and once again be demoted to only an inner disciple!" said Grand Elder Ghall.

Darius's face paled a little bit when he heard that he was going to get deducted a 1-star point after he only had a single one saved from the last 10 years.

Still, without a complaint, he once again apologized to Nova before picking up his companions and shooting to the Enforcement Hall.

After Darius was gone, the crowd also started dispersing, especially the ones who instigated the enforcement team to attack Nova.

Looking at the 4 people in front of him, Nova had a lot of questions that he wanted an answer from.

"You really are a monstrous genius kid, to not only resist a Stage 8 formation array but also broke it apart while being only a Stage 5.

Here is not a good place to talk kid, let's go somewhere else." said Grand Elder Ghall before departing from the plaza.
