The Golden Throne

He swung the sword minutely to deflect the attacks that Jean threw out. Clanging sounds could be heard from quite the distance. It was as if Jean's fist was made of steel. Liu Feng's arm moved very little, and his breathing was slowly steadying by the minute.

"Now!", he confirmed, and he raised his sword. Moving forward, he met Jean's fist. Surprised, she fell back. After a few rounds of defence, Liu Feng finally went offensive, and that threw Jean off guard. She looked at Liu Feng's erratic movement. Then, a few moves later, his sword looked like it was shining. Liu Feng also added mana to the sword, and he swung it at Jean. She met it with another fist, but the greatsword just cleaved through the arm and met her chest. 

Clang! A very loud noise could be heard. Arad, who was standing to the side, looked at Jean with surprise. His face turned ugly. 

"Get away!", he shouted at Liu Feng. The moment that Liu Feng heard Arad shout, he flew back at an astonishing speed. He retreated to Arad's place and looked at him.

"What happened? What's the problem?", he asked Arad. Arad pointed at Jean. Jean's arm was completely healed even now, and her chest did not seem to face any damage at all.

"You could not destroy the devil stone in one strike, and that is why she is able to recover everytime. If you were still there, I am afraid you would have been caught off-guard.", Arad shook his head.

"You took care of Steve. How did you do that?", Liu Feng asked.

"Steve was not completely transformed when I dealt with him. This woman is. It is far more difficult. We have to remove the devil stone from her chest, where it is lodged. That way, she will not have access to the corrupted mana, and the devil soul that is powering the devil stone."

Liu Feng did not have time to ask about the devil soul that he just learned about. He nodded at Arad and looked at Jean again. 

"You are still not going to join the fight?", Liu Feng sighed. Arad shook his head. Liu Feng shrugged as he went back to the fighting field. Jean was looking around and trying to kill the passerby. Liu Feng saw this and his face changed. He rushed forward to intercept her before any casualties occurred.

He raised his sword, and slashed forward at the same place in the arm that he cut before. He saw that although the arm was healed, it was not as strong as it was before the attack. As Liu Feng expected, the arm was cut easily, and Jean shouted out with pain. The sword shone with fire, and Jean raised her left arm. WIth a swift and decisive strike, she cut off her own arm! With the arm out, Liu Feng could see the regeneration with his naked eye. 

Seeing the devil crystal on her chest, he knew that that was where he was supposed to strike. Preparing his sword, he threw the great sword at her head. She dodged it instinctively. But, little did she know that it was all a trick. The next moment, she felt a sharp pain next to her heart. Blood spurted from her mouth. Liu Feng dug his fingers into her chest, and ripped out the devil crystal.

Her devil body started disappearing, and a naked Jean could be seen on the ground. There was a bloody wound on her chest, where the devil crystal would have been. Liu Feng approached her, and looked at her body. Although she was an attractive woman, her black heart repulsed Liu Feng. He took off his coat and threw it on her body, and left the place. Arad followed him.

"That was a bad idea. It is better if you kill someone like that.", he said.

"If I kill her now, the war will start tomorrow. If I wait, we will have time to prepare.", Liu Feng said.

He went back to the cafeteria, where Amelia was still waiting. He went to the table and said, "Call your father. Tell him to come immediately. The situation just escalated. There is a war coming soon, maybe even next month."

"What do you mean a war? Is it related to the demons we saw the other day? Is there going to be another war? Won't this become a huge catastrophe?"

"Exactly. We have to stop it from the beginning. To do that, I must speak with your father and mine. Call them, and tell them to come tomorrow. I will have to meet someone else now."

He then moved again, and this time, he came to the club headquarters of the Illuminative Association. He went to the reception and said, "Liu Feng for the president. Please inform her that I must meet her immediately."

The receptionist nodded, and immediately ran up the stairs. After a while, the receptionist ran back down, and said, panting, "The president will see you now. Please proceed to the fifth floor."

Liu Feng nodded, and he went up the stairs. He went up to the fifth floor to the familiar office, and he knocked on the doors. 

"Come in."

Liu Feng went in to see Haela. He saw that she was not alone, as there were two other students.

"What I am here to discuss is very confidential. I will require some privacy."

"They are my most trusted lieutenants."

First, Liu Feng took out a golden medallion and threw it at Haela. It had the name 'Liu', written majestically on it.

"So you were the prince of Aegon. That explains a lot of things. But why tell me now?"

Liu Feng took a seat in one of the chairs and said, "Do the dwarves have records of the demon war a few thousands of years ago?"

"Yes, of course. But how do you know? I thought that humans lost all records of this war.", Haela's face changed.

"Well, the demons have resurfaced. I am here to ask you to call your father to come to the academy immediately. There is much to speak about, and some are too important to be discussed over magic artefacts."

"Demons have resurfaced? That is impossible. We would have known."

"You will get your confirmation in a few hours. Jean transformed into a demon. That means that the entire kingdom of Glade is probably compromised. The kings of the neighbouring countries have to discuss how to handle it immediately, as this is a question of our survival."

"Alright. I will call my father. "

"That is wonderful. Please tell your father to come to the office building at noon tomorrow, after the classes have concluded."

"Noted", Haela said. Liu Feng nodded and left.
