The Golden Throne - Chapter 228
Liu Feng looked forward. The corpse of the demon captain just laid there, unmoving. But right next to the corpse, another demon appeared.
“How is there a human with this much power? We were told that there were no humans of power here.” the demon spoke.
“How did you know that? Who was the traitor who sold off our information? After I am done with this, I shall slay him myself.” Liu Feng snarled.
“A dead man does not need to know. You are surrounded, child. I cannot believe that you killed a demon captain, but do you think that you can go against five on your own? Then you must be dreaming.” the demon scoffed.
Liu Feng turned around to look what was happening. Indeed, as the demon has said, there were four other demon captains surrounding him, and they all looked like they were ready to tear him apart.
“How many of you even are there? Twenty? Thirty? So many of you should have died in the explosion right? You couldn’t have survived that. So how the hell are there five demon captains here when the fight is all the way over there?” Liu Feng wondered out loud.
“Those puny humans do not require our interference to kill, and the generals will make quick work of your helpers. This is a losing war, human.” the demon said.
“You should really stop saying that again and again. Who are you even trying to kid?” Liu Feng scoffed.
“You are right. Words are meaningless. Attack him. But keep him alive. The generals have informed me specifically to just take off all of his limbs except for his right arm if necessary. Detain him.” the demon said with a cold voice.
Liu Feng felt a shiver down his spine.
“Take off all the limbs except for his right arm? They are that vicious? They are demons, but still. How can they go that far?” Liu Feng thought to himself.
He gripped his greatsword hard as he took a few steps back. He did not go too back, afraid that his back would be exposed to the demons behind him. He turned around all of a sudden and started running towards the nearest demon.
“Trying to run away, you coward? Do you really think that you can out run us?” the demon that he was running towards sneered.
Liu Feng did not respond. He could feel a cold chill behind him, and knew that the demons behind him were giving chase. A green glow appeared below his feet as he jumped. He jumped high, and completely evaded the demon in front of him. He continued running away.
“You despicable human. All you know is to run away. I cannot believe that Kzargh lost his life to someone so shameless.” the demon, who was not behind Liu Feng, shouted with anger.
Liu Feng turned around to see the situation properly. The five demon captains were running towards him, and they were gaining on him fast. Liu Feng looked around. This was still the capital city, and there were buildings everywhere. Liu Feng grinded to a halt with a wall right behind him.
“Finally aware of the situation that you are in? You are stupid. First, I thought that I would be merciful. But you are just irritating. I should teach you a few lessons before handing you to the esteemed general.” a demon said.
“Do you really think that I came here because I was done running? I came here because it was easier fighting.” Liu Feng grinned as he turned around.
All of a sudden, the great sword in his hands disappeared, and a normal sword appeared. It was the weapon that he had trained in for years, and that he was most comfortable in. Against so many powerful demons, this was the one weapon that he could use without fear.
“Pyrus. I need you now. It is time to use that spell.” Liu Feng said.
There was no response.
“Pyrus?” Liu Feng asked again, but it was like he was completely ghosting Liu Feng.
“Damn it!” Liu Feng cursed. He raised his sword to defend an attack of an enraged demon who was rushing towards him. The sword clanged, but it held on.
“Where the hell is Pyrus?” Liu Feng was at his wit’s ends.
“He is not free right now. He is helping out the dragons. They too, rely on Pyrus for their powers, and the king of the dragons is heavily reliant on Pyrus for many of his attacks. It is clear where his priorities lie.” Aquous suddenly said.
“Good thing that you are here though. I need a heavy attack that will be able to put all five of the demons here on a stand still so that I can catch a breather and then take care of them one at a time.” Liu Feng said.
“Fine. Channel the mana within you and I shall direct it to do what you wish to do.” Aquous said.
“You are a life saver.” Liu Feng exclaimed. He then started circulating all of the water elemental mana in his body, which was a lot, and took it forward. It started circling, and started coming out of his body, making a ball of what appeared to be water, in front of Liu Feng.
“Trying a few magic tricks now boy? Why don’t you just give up and we will take care of you very well.” the demon in front of him said. The others started laughing.
“Why should everyone here be so perverted? It feels like war is just a fight to see who will make more mistakes, and more morally questionable commands.” Liu Feng thought to himself.
His eyes were on the ball though. Over the years, his focus had been on the fire element, because he knew that it was the best offense, and he felt like it was a perfect fit for him. He did not use a lot of the water element because he felt that it just wasn’t suitable for him.
