A week later
The news of the first X-Rank Talent spread throughout the continent in wide spread . Every noble family witnessed it and thus the confirmation of the news was undoubted . The emperor himself was shocked at first when he heard the news . Argent Von Voidhaven and Augustus Von Solarion weren't just friends . They were best friends .
House Voidhaven and the Solarion Royal Family have been close since the founding of the empire . It was the only ducal family of that time and has maintained it's powers as the top one to this day but this news elevated its status even more . They could be now considered equal to the royal family .
The news quickly reached the ears of Eclipsion empire and reached the world through secret means .
The birth of an X-Rank Talent . The only one in history .
All the races started to become agitated . Even though the fight against demons was a joint operation but that doesn't mean that the races will play with their status . Each and every race tried its hard to stand at the peak of all races . Till now Celestials were considered the strongest because of their strengths and talents but today , they were surpassed by the Humans .
Naturally , the other races weren't delighted by the news . They saw Aries Von Voidhaven as nothing but a threat . A threat to their status and power . The only ones who remained the same were Elves and Dwarves . The Dwarves are considered the weakest race as their main strength lies in their craftsmanship whereas the Elves who are at a slightly better level that Dwarves were silent because they have a friendly relation with the Humans and they were beings of nature . Their affinity is 'Nature' and its special affinity for their race .
The Council meeting for the Six Continents were arranged . Everyone was called except the Humans .
Inside the Floating Island . Atleast 50,000 meters in the Sky .
A massive building with atleast 200 floors stood tall on the Sky Island . This island was created using high level of technology and uses an anti-gravity system to float . This island was a special location because this place can be said to be the place where the strongest gather .
The strongest and the leaders of every continent gathers here to attend meetings regarding the Demons .
On the 180th floor of the building was a dark room . 5 figures were seen sitting on each throne around the table with just one unoccupied seat . These five people were the representatives and the strongest among their races .
"What do you think we should do ?" asked the leader of Mythical Creatures (Valmora , Red Dragon Race [Rank 11]).
"I don't know" said the leader of Celestials (Bolan , Six Winged Celestial [Rank 12])
"I think we should just finish him off" said the leader of Dark Elves (Astral , Ice Dark Elf [Rank 11])
"Don't make rash decisions" said the leader of Elves (Leanie , Nature God Elf [Rank 11])
"She is right . The fight against demons is still on" said Bolan .
"But…" started Valmora .
"No . I think we should let him grow a bit . Even with X-Rank Talent he will need atleast 200 years to match us" said Bolan
"I object !" said Astral .
"And why ?" asked Bolan .
"If he has awakened an X-Rank Talent , then he is more of a threat . We don't know his potential at all" said Astral.
"I think he is right . We are all people with SSS-Rank Talents and we took 250 years to achieve where we are now but I think his level is higher . We are unknown about his cultivation speed and comprehension ability" said Valmora .
"You mean , he is an unknown variable ?" asked Bolan .
Valmora shook his head agreeing with the statement .
"Leanie , you should help us" said Bolan .
"I won't . If you old geezers want something , achieve on your own" she said .
"Then , I think we shou…."
"You are having discussion without me ?" suddenly a voice rang out and the entire place started to shake . The voice was cold and deep . This was a voice which was recognised by them instantly . They all stood up from their place as Bolan asked :
"What is the meaning of this , Magnus ?"
"I should ask you the same" said Magnus Blackthorn (leader of the Human Race [Rank 12])
"We..We were just discussin…." Astral tried to speak but was instantly suppressed .
"An Ant should know when to speak" said Magnus .
"Stop it , Magnus !!" said Bolan as his aura of Rank 12 surged out . Everyone in the room was suppressed except for Magnus . A smile slowly formed on his face as he too released his aura . This was the real surprise .
His aura was stronger than Bolan almost to a whole new level . Everyone had their faces as pale as paper . Bolan's face which was already snow white became even more pale .
"You…You reached peak of Rank 12 ?" Bolan asked slowly but it sounded like a heavy thunder to everyone .
"That's right . You should just keep your mouth shut " said Magnus .
Bolan's white face was slowly turning red . He unleashed his six winged angel form as single pure white wings spread out and his aura surged but still didn't reach the level of Magnus . Bolan tried to attack as he rushed towards Magnus but was blocked . The one who blocked him was Valmora .
"Bolan , stop it . You are no match" said Valmora . Bolan slowly calmed down but his face was still brimming with anger . He was angry that two unexpected variables appeared in one day and both to the continent he was enemies with .
Humans and Celestials always had a fight against themselves . They hate each other to their very core and both the leaders of each of the two races were Rank 12 existences which is the highest they have achieved . Unfortunately , the leader of the Demons is the Demon God who is a Rank 13 existence . His power is unparalleled and no other race could match him till now .
"Just as I was saying" said Magnus in a light and unserious tone but it suddenly turned cold as ice which ran a shiver down everyone's spine as Magnus said slowly :
"Don't interfere with my people , understand ?"
Everyone except Leanie slowly nodded . They knew that the person before them could kill them with a single attack and Bolan who could still match him would at the end be eliminated without a doubt .
Humans had truly become the top race of the Aeralion that day .
