The Golden Throne

Liu Feng saw this progression of events, and he laughed. He did not expect three fourth of the people to leave, and certainly did not expect Glade to be so fragile.

"I really don't understand how Glade even became a kingdom if the relations between the nobles and the royal family is so bad. How does something like this even happen?", Liu Feng just couldn't understand what happened here. A kingdom would only prosper if the main leadership had a proper grip of all the power and resources of the kingdom. If it was not so, then it wouldn't be able to achieve anything and would be constrained heavily.

But he still did not want to leave Glade as it was. He had to split apart Glade and take care of the royal family, as well as others who were involved with demons.

"Well, why would I care about some stupid kingdom that is ruled by such an arrogant family. I pity the citizens of Glade. Who knows how they are treated? Guess I have to tear them apart and bring them salvation myself.", Liu Feng pondered. 

When the members deserted her, Jean fell on her knees, and her eyes were dead. Liu Feng looked at her and said, "This is all a result of your own actions. It seems like I did not even need to fight. Well, I shall go."

"You did this. This is all your fault. You are at blame here. You caused this. You have to die here.", Jean's face went hoarse. Liu Feng's face went dark and he turned around. He retreated and held the greatsword. Pulling it out, and he threw the greatsword at Jean all of a sudden. 

The students who remained were shocked. They quickly defended it, and fell back to the ground, saving Jean in the process.

"Coward. How dare you attack someone like that? You cheat! You said that you would leave, and then you didn't. You could have killed her."

"You idiots. Now, you guys are dead. Run away before she loses all reason.", Liu Feng shouted at the students, as well as the onlookers. But, they did not take his words seriously.

"What a show. Now, are you scared? You thought that you could win this fight by scaring away everyone, didn't you? Now, we shall stand our ground and show you how powerful the Glade association truly is.", the students formed a ring around Jean.

"Fine. You heard me but did not heed my advice. All of the people around me be my witness. Fine then. The world has to know sooner or later.", Liu Feng shrugged, as the ring on his finger started flashing.

Jean, on the other hand, stood up, and she started laughing hysterically. Then, Liu Feng felt a pull of mana, as well as a dark presence gathering near Jean.

He looked at Arad, who was near him, but Arad said, "Forgive me. You must take care of this on your own. You are powerful enough, yes?"

"I can but isn't it better if you take care of someone like that? There could be fatalities.", Liu Feng protested.

"Then I shall take care of the residual attacks. But I am afraid that some fights are your own. You should be able to take care of small events like this if you wish to lead the fight against the demons. You will have His Highness, the dragon king in your ranks. You must prove yourself to be an asset in battle to be worthy of such a position.", Arad said.

Liu Feng sighed, and he took out a sword from his storage, and got ready. Jean's body bulged, and she started transforming into a demon, much like the one that Liu Feng fought against the previous month. All the bystanders and onlookers were astonished. The ones near her ran away but to no avail. All of them blasted into red mist. All of the people gaped in disgust and fear. They started running. Jean looked at the nearest person and moved. Liu Feng matched her movements and blocked her.

"They saw me. They must die. So must you.", she said, with the same hoarse voice. He entire body had morphed right now, and she looked very much like the demon that Liu Feng faced in the magical forest, the demon captain.

Liu Feng swung the sword against her, but it stopped halfway in her skin. Liu Feng could not take the sword out in time, so he left it and retreated. Jean took out the sword and threw it to the side, and her arm healed almost instantly. 

Liu Feng cursed at the demons' regenerative capacities, and he started chanting for a spell. He brandished a sword made of sheer mana, and it looked like it was made of fire. He charged forward and pierced Jean's chest with it. She looked at the sword. It went from orange in color, to dark red, and then black. She looked at Liu Feng again.

"You are powerful for a human. I never thought that a human would achieve a contract in these times. Looks like the demon lords must be informed. You must be eliminated first.", Jean said, monotonously.

"Why does she speak like that? Isn't she a human herself?", Liu Feng thought as he moved back.

She moved almost immediately. Liu Feng used his hands to block the fist that Jean threw out, but he still flew back, and was barely able to stabilize himself.

He looked at Arad again. "She is much stronger than the previous one I faced. I am still in the sixth order. I have to get to the seventh, maybe the eighth order to beat her."

"You have to try. Why are you afraid when I am there to save you if things go too far?"

Liu Feng nodded his head reluctantly, and he continued defending, moving closely to the position where Jean transformed. He then stamped the ground, and the greatsword on the ground flew up. Liu Feng caught it, and he swung it wildly at Jean. She threw a punch at the sword, and they both stopped moving upon contact.

"Well, maybe I should try using that move that professor Long taught me.", he thought to himself.

He calmed his breath, and started concentrating on his footwork.
