BXBX NOVEL Chapter 765: Who's Weak Now?
Chapter 765: Who\'s Weak Now?
It was part of how she had become famous. However, there were times when she would also just conduct an interview normally.
It was an instinct of hers to somewhat read a person, and she had read that for some reason, Enaxx didn\'t like talking about a few things. She had caught on, asking the current question. "Is it true that you are the weakest of all the Grand Magus?"
This wasn\'t a baseless question either; it was one that had circulated online more than once.
Polls would come out asking which of the Grand Magus one thought was the strongest. Sometimes the answers would change, but most of the time, Enaxx would end up at the bottom.
This was all because of Enaxx\'s role among the Grand Magus as the face of the Grand Magus, but there was another nickname that circulated, calling him the lap dog.
"Who knows," Enaxx said, shrugging his shoulders and passing it off as a stupid question. "The Grand Magus wouldn\'t be able to tell unless they fought against each other, but I will tell you a few things.
"All of the Grand Magus are 9-star mages, mages considered to have the same might as countries, and there is a reason why we are even above 9-star mages."
Ashley could hear it in the tone of Enaxx\'s voice for her to back down. She was wondering whether to push forward more; it felt like she was on the cusp of breaking Enaxx.
Yet a little voice in her also was telling her to back down because right now she was being threatened.
"Right, as expected, the Grand Magus are at the pinnacle of a mage\'s power, people that everyone looks up to!" Ashley said. "Which is why you were going to do a performance for us today, right?"
"Right." Enaxx answered as he got up from his seat and headed off to the side where a stage was being prepared next to him.
Enaxx then went on to perform his magic as he produced spell after spell. First, he had gathered just normal mana in its yellow form. He swirled it around different parts of his body perfectly and then pushed it out from his body.
The magic moved away and went in all directions outward, moving across all items as if it was passing through them.
It continued out towards the crowd and just stopped short in front of their faces, not harming a single person, including the presenter.
"During this demonstration, it would be best that no one moves. Otherwise, there is a high chance of getting hurt," Enaxx claimed.
The audience was unsure if he was serious or not, and just in case, they decided to follow his orders.
Next, Enaxx did the same thing but with wind magic, performing it the same way and pushing it outward just before the attack would reach the audience\'s faces.
Then ice magic, then lightning, and Enaxx proceeded to go through every type of magic affinity.
Showing that he had extreme skill in all of the affinities, something that nearly every mage would wish for.
When he was going through fire, Ashley feared that it was directly going to hit her, but the fire magic stopped just short as well.
Enaxx had a smile on his face as he looked back at the presenter and walked over.
"As you can see, I have complete control over every inch of my power. That is something that the higher star mages have as they grow with strength. If someone else had tried to do what I just did, well, everyone in here would be dead," Enaxx said, coming back to his seat.
Ashley continued the interview as normal and went on to talk about further developments and upcoming projects Enaxx had. After that, the interview was over.
Enaxx\'s assistant had come to whisk him away for the next big meeting and appearance he had. After all, he was an extremely busy person.
Ashley had quickly rushed to her dressing room, where her assistant had followed in, and her makeup artist was there to help.
When sitting in her chair, the makeup artist went to adjust as she usually would.
"Ashley, you\'re sweating buckets out there. Did the flames really get to you?" she asked.
"It\'s not the flames; it was the look in his eyes. I thought he was really going to kill me," Ashley said. "I might have pushed it a little too far this time. Annie, can you do me a favor? We have a mutual colleague working on the Wonder Drink commercial."
"That\'s where Enaxx is meant to be next. Can you just check that he\'s arrived there?"
"Sure," Annie said with a smile.
Ashley\'s assistant got straight onto the call, and she knew the reason why. If she knew Enaxx was at the shoot, which was on the other side of the city, then he wouldn\'t be near them, giving Ashley some peace of mind.
There were times when Ashley had angered a guest and pushed it a little too far, causing her to up the security around her, hiring a strong guild for protection.
However, who would she hire to protect her from a Grand Magus? The only thing she could count on was that a Grand Magus wouldn\'t want to ruin their image.
"All is clear. You don\'t have to worry. They said he arrived and is now going through shoots,"
Annie said.
Ashley turned back and let out a big sigh.
"That\'s a relief, right?" a voice said.
Ashley quickly turned around and heard a small explosion go off. Blood had splattered on her face along with some human flesh parts. When she opened her eyes, Annie\'s head appeared to have completely exploded.
It wasn\'t just hers, though. Her makeup artist fell to the floor, no longer with a head on her
body.
"You... you\'re here... but you should be at the photo shoot!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Ah, but I am there. Your assistant just confirmed it," Enaxx said. "Which means that even with you gone, I won\'t even be a suspect because everyone knows that I\'m not here and I\'m
there."
"You can\'t do this. Why would you do this?" Ashley said. "She\'s not even a mage. I thought the Grand Magus was meant to protect us."
"Oh, but how am I meant to protect you when I\'m just so weak?" Enaxx claimed.
"I was right..." Ashley whispered to herself. There was anger behind the questions she asked. Deep down, there was an inferiority complex to the others.
"You are incredibly strong," Ashley said. "The strongest of the Grand Magus. I was just saying that stupid stuff for views, that\'s all."
"Well, now you\'re just exaggerating. Anyone could see that," Enaxx claimed. "Today is a very annoying day because right after I deal with you, I need to go and deal with something else."
"I was already annoyed by him ordering me around, and then you just had to do what you needed to do," Enaxx said.
He placed his hand on the tearful Ashley, and her head started to expand, exploding on the
spot.
"At least I can get my anger out in that dimension, whoever\'s in there," Enaxx said as he left the room filled with blood and three dead.
Now off to enter another dimension where he would go on to meet Murkel.
