The Golden Throne

Chapter 120 - Saving Amelia

He looked at Tyrion. Tyrion did not seem to suspect a thing. He said, "By now, they must have gotten to her. You should just surrender. I wonder how powerful a demon they can make of you."

"You really underestimate her power.", Liu Feng smiled hesitantly.

"Do you really think that a mere child can compare to a demon captain? There are few left in the continent powerful enough to combat a captain. And to think that a girl would even stand a chance, you are not as bright as I thought.", Tyrion laughed as he took another sip.

Liu Feng took another step back, and he was completely leaned towards the wall. Now, Tyrion glanced at Liu Feng. 

"Trying to leave? Don't worry about that. I have taken sufficient precautions against cowards.", the king sneered. Liu Feng's face changed.

Liu Feng then burst mana in his hand and destroyed the wall next to him. He ran out into the open and started running.

But, he felt a cold presence right behind him. He continued running, but he glanced back to see if Tyrion was chasing after him. Indeed, a figure could be seen chasing after him.  Liu Feng sent mana to his spatial ring, and a great sword appeared in his hand. Readying it, he slowed down to face Tyrion.

By the time Tyrion arrived, Liu Feng was ready. He was in a stance, and was standing defensively. Tyrion was also different from before. He had completely transformed into a demon, and it was a very gruesome sight.

"I should have known that the premier human leading the fight was a big coward. It is quite astonishing that the continent is even putting up a resistance when the spirits chose someone so pitiful to represent."

"Shut up and fight.", Liu Feng spat out.

Tyrion did not take the disrespect lightly. He disappeared from his previous position and reappeared behind Liu Feng.

Liu Feng turned around and blocked Tyrion's fist. A loud clang ensued. Liu Feng and Tyrion fell back after the collision. Liu Feng started charging up his sword, and it started glowing red with heat. He stepped on the ground heavily and stabilized himself. Shouting out, he started moving erratically, like a part of a dance. Tyrion did not even falter, and he shot forward to attack.

Liu Feng's sword had contact with the fist, and it cleaved the entire hand of Tyrion. Not giving him a chance to recover, Liu Feng quickly attacked again to try and destroy the devil stone.

"Amelia is in trouble! She needs your help. The continent cannot afford to lose a king contractor this early.", Pyrus reminded Liu Feng. Liu Feng stopped his attack, and he fell back. He started running, looking for her.

"Where is she?"

"She's near the dorms. You should be careful. There is a seventh order demon among them apparently. All Amelia is able to do is run in circles."

Liu Feng used up all the wind attributed mana in his body near his legs. Suddenly, his body burst forward. He moved, and the sound came after he left the area. A sonic boom could be heard all throughout the academy.

He quickly got to the girls dorm and saw masked men attacking Amelia. He quickly jumped forward and took Amelia in his hands. She resisted until she saw that it was Liu Feng.

"What is happening? Who are these people?"

"Just calm down. We have to wait till Arad comes. Let's. I'll hold them back, you just recuperate your mana."

"I can't. The mana here feels too disgusting. They did something to it. It feels like vomit."

Liu Feng's eyebrows raised. "They sent demons here?"

He looked at the masked men with mana and saw indeed that they looked like dark lumps of fire. He spit on the ground and put his arm forward, signalling them to come. All of the demons rushed forwards except for one. He shouted, "Human left live."

The demons changed their trajectory from Liu Feng's head to his stomach. Liu Feng saw this and he quickly retrieved his greatsword from his spatial ring while jumping up to evade all the attacks.  Then, with the sword in hand, he slashed it at the demons. All of them fell on the ground. Liu Feng imbued mana into the greatsword and stiked again against the incapacitated demons. Blood splattered everywhere, and the struggling demons just stopped moving.

"Human is interesting. Order to let live. Be not fight. Will let live.", the demon who remained said, barely speaking properly.

"Looks like the important demons are being taught the language. But why? They aren't supposed to be the type to negotiate.", he thought to himself.

He glared at the demon. "You lost the right to live when you attacked her instead of coming for me. You should have just ran away, but now you will lose your life."

The demon shook his head and he took out a pair of brass knuckles and put them in his fists.

"Well, you are the only demon I have seen that used weapons."

"Means human faced small fry. Means human weak. Nothing more."

Liu Feng's face twitched and he swung the greatsword a few times in the air.

"Come at me. We'll see who is weak."

Before the demons even moved, a flash came from the air and the demon just disappeared into a bloody mist.

"Arad. I was about to fight that man. You should not interfere in a fight like that."

"Forgive me Cousin. Time is of the essence. We must head for Dilheim. The demons are trying to aim for the contract holders of the kings. One was here, and the other is in Dilheim I believe."

"They are aiming for the King contractors? Then why didn't anyone attack me?"

"Well, no one knows that you are a king's contractor, cousin. No one can read your soul."
