The Golden Throne

Hahaha! Liu Feng was laughing out loud. He tossed the pitch black stone up in the air to show it off to the whole audience as if it was a diamond. And it was! It was a very important discovery.

"Looks like I have found a loophole in the corrupted mana. It even helps me a lot."

"Impossible! How did this happen? How could I never see it like this?", Zeus' voice thundered in Liu Feng's ears. "Human, you have brought this continent a new lease. This is a very big discovery. With this, we stand a better chance in the war."

Liu Feng nodded. "Well, now, with this, I can do something more.", he thought to himself. He looked at the demons' side. All the demons did not seem to understand the significance of Liu Feng's achievement, but they certainly did not like the fact that Liu Feng killed a demon captain in a matter of minutes. They were shouting and howling. Looking at his own side, Liu Feng knew that the battle was not going well. The children were all exhausted. They were children after all! Asking so much of them was already stretching it. And, with the corrupted mana in the air, they couldn't even recover.

"Looks like I will have to remove the mana in the air first. This is what is stopping us from even standing a chance.", he thought to himself. He needed someone to cover him for this process, but both Arad and Feng Luang were missing from the scene. Shaking his head, he cursed , "Where the hell are they when I need them the most?"

Liu Feng saw the demons were approaching. The children readied themself for another bout, but Liu Feng knew that they wouldn't last long. His spatial ring flashed, and a few stones appeared in his hands. They were the same blue stones that he used on the demon captain in the magical forest a month ago. 

He threw the stones at the demons. A demon captain at the forefront sneered. "Humans are really stupid. What will stones do?". But he was quickly surprised by the sudden blast of ice that the stone released. The demons at the front were stopped on their tracks and were unable to move.

"How long do you think that this will hold us human? A few more minutes? What will you do then?", the demon captain laughed.

"A few minutes? That will be enough.", Liu Feng nodded. His ring flashed again, and a pile of magic stones appeared before him. Liu Feng took out a few mana stones from this pile and he started carving out a few magical circles on them. After a minute, a pile of them were carved out. 

Then, he closed his eyes. All of a sudden, a huge vortex of wind started forming. It was more of a tornado, and all the mana in the air, corrupted and normal, were merged into this tornado.

"A pity that I cannot separate them.", Liu Feng sighed as he raised his hands and pushed all of the mana into the stones in front of him. A few of them aside, all of the magic stones became pitch black in an instant. Seeing this, the demons grew to unrest. Their main source of strength was an environment of corrupted mana, and they grew stronger as there was more and more corrupted mana. With the sudden decrease, the demons all lost a lot of their fighting power. Still, they were not standing still. Cracks could be seen on the ice barrier. 

"You can go and regain mana now. The corrupted mana has been removed. Be quick. ", Liu Feng told the kids, as he threw the remaining mana stones - bar one - in his spatial ring and took the sword in his hand. He pointed the sword towards the demons.

All the children were meditating and recovering their mana, and Liu Feng had to make sure that not even one demon had to pass through. That was easier said than done. Liu Feng started gathering mana around him as well, but since he was Liu Feng, he had a much easier time. With not a lot of corrupted mana in the air(even the method that Liu Feng used could not completely take out all of the corrupted mana away), Liu Feng could regain the little mana that he used up.

A tinge of red could be seen on Liu Feng's hands, and his arms were now beginning to glow bright orange. The demons were not sleeping, because they had already broken free of their bindings by now. Unlike last time, the demons now were more powerful, although fewer in quantity. Throwing the sword on the ground, Liu Feng smiled at the demons, and he pushed his arms forward. 

A huge flame dragon flew forward from Liu Feng's hands and attacked the demons. Many of the demons cried out in anguish. Liu Feng waved his hands slightly, and a blue tinge cooled down his burning hands. Steam could be seen on Liu Feng's hands. His face did not change expression, and he took the sword back into his hands to face the demons who were rushing towards him as if they did not have a care for the world.

"Now, it is time to retaliate. Disciples of the mage tower, attack!", Liu Feng led a battle cry.

The children, who had meditated briefly, opened their eyes shouted loudly and stepped forward. 

He started killing demons. He took out the magic stone in his pocket and absorbed the corrupted mana leaking from the corpses, and when the stone became pitch black, he threw it to the side. The demons seemed to notice this difference because they grew weaker and weaker with the decrease in corrupted mana in the air. 

After a while, the children joined the fight by supporting Liu Feng with spells. The number of demons decreased and finally none were left. Liu Feng was exhausted, but satisfied. He collected all the stones that he had filled with corrupted mana. There were about twenty stones which were pitch black, and one which was purple in colour. He took them all in a bag that one of the children gave him. He carried it over his shoulder, and went inside the tower. 

He saw that Lucas was inside.

"What the hell happened Lucas? You didn't help out. And where is the phoenix? I thought that she hated demons."

"Well, you should thank her. She took the demon general that came here somewhere else. Arad left to help out so I am here in case something happened to that girl you brought and the boy."

"Where did they take the fight?"

"Into the forest. You should recuperate mana somewhere else. This place- wait. Where is the corrupted mana?"

"I'll explain later."

Liu Feng rushed towards the forest, and he got to the site of the fight just in time. Arad was standing over the demon corpse, and the phoenix was over to the side, injured.

Liu Feng went over with two magic stones and he started absorbing the corrupted mana into them. They quickly filled up, and Liu Feng took out a third one. After he emptied the corrupted mana in the air, he looked at the phoenix. She was looking at him with astonished eyes.

"How did you do that?"

"Mana stones with spatial magic circles can store anything. So, if they store corrupted mana, technically, it disappears from the world."

"That is ingenious. But, if that is possible, then someone can also take enough mana from the world into mana stones right? They can cause the whole world to go to a pitiful state."

"Mana stones are a very important and precious commodity. If someone indeed did what you said, if we find them, we can take back the mana that they took back, but it is highly possible that they used up all the mana stones that they have. It could be Glade, but I cannot make that assumption. We must wait and see. For now, you have to recover. You have been attacked by demons, and I cannot remove the corrupted mana from a living person."

"I can recover. Just give me some fire element mana.", Feng Huang said weakly.

Liu Feng nodded, and he sent over the fire mana he had leftover to the phoenix.
