The Golden Throne

"Fa-Father?" Liu Feng looked back with shock. He couldn't believe his eyes. His father was holding the sword that was pierced through his chest.

"I am sorry. You were just too much of a problem. I didn't want to do this, but you just happened to had to have been the person who thwarted the plans of the demon king. Why did you have to do something like that?" Liu Man asked tears in his eyes.

Liu Feng could still not understand what was happening. He did not know what his father was talking about.

"You were the traitor father? But how could you betray our own continent? You love the kingdom. Why would you give it away to these demons?" Liu Feng asked. Blood still dripped from his mouth and from the sword.

"You bastard. How dare you try and kill the young master. He is the contractor of our benefactor." the old man raged as he struck Liu Man. Liu Man let go of the sword and flew off. The old man rushed to catch Liu Feng, who was now falling to the ground.

Liu Feng smiled weakly.

"I am dying. I know that I am dying. But we have a different problem. Tell your king to leave. Tell everyone to leave. The magic source here is going to blast any second now. I am the only one who can stop the detonation for some time. Tell them to retreat. I will detonate the crystal after they leave. That way, even the demon minister here will also die." Liu Feng said with a low voice.

Swoosh!

Arad appeared next to Liu Feng in an instant.

"How did this happen? How was someone able to attack him? Right in front of your eyes? With a sword? How did you allow something like this to happen you damn senile fool!" Arad roared.

"He was my father. No one would be able to foresee this outcome. Leave, all of you. This is time to go. I cannot hold the circles for long. All of you should just escape." Liu Feng said.

Arad took a gulp. He glanced at Long Che. The whole battle just stopped. The demon minister also realized that the magic crystal was about to detonate.

"Hahaha! Look at this you fools. You better run now. You are all going to die! This is the perfect ending to this. All of you deserve to die!" Leon laughed.

Liu Feng looked up. Bai Lu had appeared right above him.

"Please protect the army. They must not have been in on all of this. They do not deserve to die. They are all normal people who were here on orders. We cannot let them all die like that. I promise I will stop the detonation until you move away. But at that distance, you should be able to protect the army and all of the people there." Liu Feng asked Bai Lu.

He frowned, and the huge white tiger turned into the handsome man that Liu Feng saw just a few hours before.

"I am not going to try and stop you. Your sacrifice is just going to be one in thousands, tens of thousands like this. But it is commendable. I will give you the signal. You can release the mana then, and I will stop the whole army from being killed. But do you think that you deserve an ending like this? You can be saved." Bai Lu said.

"Better them than one of me." Liu Feng smiled.

"Ah! When have I seen such a selfless human? It has been far too long. Long Che. This is not a time to be finding solutions. It is time to leave. Respect his final wishes." Bai Lu sighed as he looked towards Long Che, who was still battling the demon minister.

Long Che punched forward, and Leon was sent flying far away.

"Fine. Let us leave. It is what he wants after all." Long Che said as he disappeared from where he stood. The dragons and Bai Lu also disappeared. The only one who remained was Arad.

"I never imagined that you would be the only casualty here. You are the one who was most prepared, and the only one who cared, yet you are the one who has to pay the price of fate." Arad said with moist eyes.

"What can we do? I made this mistake myself. I should have seen this happen. I didn't. Just promise me one thing. Can you tell Amelia that I defected instead? Tell her that I became a traitor, and that I killed my father to leave. I do not want the whole kingdom to fall into chaos. Tell them all that Tesarion was the one who was named the next king, and only tell Tesarion the truth." Liu Feng said.

"Why would you want to do that? I thought that you humans cared about how you were portrayed in history books." Arad asked.

"I would not want Amelia to live in sorrow. Better have her feel angry and let her move on. I pity my mother. She will be devastated. You should leave now. The demon minister will be approaching me shortly." Liu Feng said.

"It was a good time knowing you, Liu Feng," Arad said.

"I have just one question, Arad." Liu Feng asked.

"What is it?"

"Why did you stop calling me master? I never liked it, but you suddenly stopped." Liu Feng asked.

"Because I thought that you were my master. But His Majesty just said that you were someone that we had to support. That you were not exactly our master."

Liu Feng chuckled. He nodded, and Arad also disappeared. Liu Feng struggled as he got upright. He looked forward. In front of him, the purple circles were shaking, and they grew bright as if they were going to detonate at any time.

"Human. Looks like it is just the two of us. Now, are you willing to reconsider my offer?" Leon appeared in front of Liu Feng.
