The Golden Throne

Chapter 123 - Impressing The Kings

He rammed the sword into the neck of the demon. But, the demon sneered as he turned around.

"Zheezhee. You humans should learn to estimate your powers properly. You tend to think yourself as better than what you are.", the demon said as he raised his hand to block Liu Feng's sword. Liu Feng's expression did not change one bit, and he turned the sword in his hands. The sword slid back and Liu Feng pierced it forward. The demon's right arm was stretched out and he couldn't react fast enough to block the next attack.

Quickly raising his left arm to block the attack, the demon collided with the sword. A piece of his arm flew out as the demon howled in pain.

"You will pay for this human!", he screamed as he raised his arm to attack Liu Feng. Liu Feng took a deep breath and stepped back. He put some distance between the demon and him. He glanced at the kings. There were a few demons were attacking the Kings, but they were clearly holding their stand. Multiple people clad in black appeared and disappeared from time to time, attacking the demons at crucial times. 

"You should never turn your head in a battle.", the demon sneered. He was right next to Liu Feng at this instant, and his hand was curled into a fist, aimed at Liu Feng's fist. It was just a few centimetres away and would make contact Liu Feng in a few fractions of a second. Then, Liu Feng's figure blurred, and the demon's right arm also flew out. The demon looked quite comical with no arms at all. His left arm was growing back slowly, but now without any weapons, he was basically defenceless.

"Defend me!", he shouted. The scrawny demons around them started swarming against Liu Feng, trying to stall for their leader to recover. Liu Feng smiled faintly, and he disappeared from his current position. Appearing behind the demon he was fighting till now, he drew his sword. The next moment, the demon's head flew out. Liu Feng landed on the ground after hovering in the air for a few seconds.

The remaining demons saw this and started scurrying, but how could Liu Feng allow that? He threw his greatsword at one of them and ran for the other one. Both of the demons died, and a third was slain by the combined effort of the three kings. Liu Feng looked at the remaining demons, who were in a swarm. He did not chase after them, because his main mission was to get the kings to safety.

After panting for a while, the kings finally looked at Liu Feng with shock. "How did you kill them so easily?"

"Please. The demons who came were far too weak. Many of the kids that you saw in the mage tower could go against them. That means that more demons that I thought have infiltrated Dilheim. I have to start focusing more on the security of Dilheim. For now, please follow me to the Mage tower. I have to join the fight fast. Can't afford to lose any lives here."

The group started picking up their pace and ran to the tower. There was a fight still going on, but it was far too one sided. There were many demons who were pushing multiple children back. There was an occasional big spell on the side of the mage tower, but that was all. Liu Feng led the kings to the mage tower, and he joined the fight. He got to the frontlines and started a rampage spilling blood like it was water.

After he started thinning the demons' side, a few demon captains stepped forward. 

"You are a powerful human. Join us. You will be rewarded. Or, face your death now."

"It looks like you demons are in a real shortage of manpower. Literally everyone I met is trying to recruit me. Sounds like you demons are in a really vulnerable position here."

"You think wrong human. We are the most powerful race. We are just magnomous and want to give you humans a chance to make things right and join the right side in the war that will come in the future."

"War in the future? What war?"

"I have said too much for a human who has yet to make a decision."

"Well, all the demons who have given me this 'opportunity' are already dead. What makes you think that you are any different?"

The demon who spoke smiled and he rushed forward to attack Liu Feng. Liu Feng quickly defended with the greatsword, and he retaliated with a strike of the greatsword. Understanding that the greatsword was constraining him, he stored it inside his spatial ring and took out a spear. He pointed it towards the demon and beckoned him.

The demon rushed forward and Liu Feng blocked the demon. The children to the side saw the fight and were about to help when Liu Feng shouted, "Don't. The demons on the other side did not move, so you shouldn't either. If they do, then you should as well, but don't make the first move. It will be to our disadvantage."

The children nodded, and they sat down. Unfortunately, they could not regain the lost mana because all of the surrounding mana was getting corrupted slowly. Liu Feng saw this and cursed. He did put a lot of time into making this place a haven.

He started gathering his mana into the spear and he pierced the demon in the head, completely obliterating it. He quickly suppressed the dark mana that was oozing out of the dead body.

"What should I do about this? This is hurting our chances so much.", he cursed thinking about the corrupted mana. But then, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up. He took out a magical spatial stone which he had inscribed with a spatial magic circle a few days ago.

"If items can be moved here, then why can't mana?", he thought out loud.

The dark mana was moving away, but Liu Feng did not allow any of it to move. He started using the wind to herd the mana together, and he stored it into the magic spatial stone that he had. The stone changed colour from white to purple-black. Liu Feng started pushing all the corrupted mana in the air into the magic stone. It started changing colour and became pitch black. However, it did not leak even a little. Seeing this, he started laughing out loud like a maniac.
