The Golden Throne

"Well, it is just luck that I got to this level. I must actually thank Your Majesty for having a part in this. I fought with one of the demons in the magical forest and got an epiphany and entered the sixth order. You were the reason that they were there in the first place correct?", Liu Feng said as he walked into the room. He looked around the room. It was sparsely decorated for some reason. The guest rooms would definitely be better than this.

"I was the person responsible for that? Don't joke around. That idiot took his squad and just ran into the forest the moment that he heard that there was a phoenix in there. I was pleasantly surprised that the king of the magical forest did not move at all to save her. They are a tight knit community in there. Well, they must still be writhing in agony after the last war. They got their ass handed back to them after all.", Tyrion laughed.

"Well, it seems that this time will be very different. You lost an entire squadron that quickly, and the war did not even begin. You lost so many demons, yet there was not even one casualty on our side.", Liu Feng smiled.

"You were the person responsible for the disappearance of the survey team?"

"Well, I wouldn't say that I am completely responsible. I had help from others. But, rest assured not one of them survived.", Liu Feng shook his head.

"Why would I care about a mere squadron. The death of the demon general was regrettable, I agree, but the others were just cannon fodder. It would have helped if they helped reduce the numbers of the magical forest a little more. But they didn't. Truly disappointing."

"To think that a thousand member team would just be a survey team. I am shivering just thinking about how big the demon army that will come is. I wonder though, has it arrived yet? What will happen if Glade is attacked now? I am sure that internal strife has already begun."

"You are thinking too much. Sit down. Have a drink."

"I am young. Please, go ahead. But, I can give you the company."

"Fine, I'll drink this excellent wine myself."

He opened a bottle of wine, and a dark mana could be seen coming out. He poured a cup and drank it. He laughed as the liquid touched his lips. "It's a wonderful drink. Truly a rare find. Had to get it all the way from Valhalla. You will probably never see a better drink.", he offered another cup to Liu Feng.

"Valhalla?", Liu Feng looked confused.

"Hehe, of course, you know nothing. Did your dear spirits not tell you anything about us? Of course they didn't. Why would they? If you knew the truth that the demons revealed to this king of Glade, you would also change sides in a heartbeat.", Tyrion laughed.

"Why is he referring to himself in third person?", Liu Feng wondered. Primitus' voice spoke softly in his ear, "Don't listen to his words Liu Feng. He is just trying to sow dissent."

"I know that.", Liu Feng nodded and he continued to stay on his guard. The smell of the drink that Tyrion was drinking repulsed Liu Feng/

"Now, boy. You think that you are a big deal because you are more powerful than me? So what? If I die, someone else will take my place. If Glade falls, some other kingdom will take its place. The invasion of the demons is just inevitable. Why can't the spirits accept that and just surrender to the demon king?"

"You are an idiot. Do you think that the demons want this continent? They want the mana of the continent. After they strip it bare, they will destroy all of us, and we will be powerless to stop."

"I have put too much into this to stop. As for now, I will just have to kill you for destroying my plans."

"Destroying your plans? It was your fault for giving your children devil stones. It is only a matter of time before all the kingdoms find out and invade Glade. Why don't you stop the blame game and just give up? Your death could be swift and clean? You won't have to face the pain your son did."

"So it was you who was behind his disappearance."

"Well, someone had to know why demons suddenly appeared. Your son had a devil stone. He even knew how to activate it. He deserved the torture even if he did not have any information. As for me, you know that I was too injured to do anything during that time. You are underestimating my resources though."

"Resources? What could a fifteen year old possibly do to me?", Tyrion laughed.

"Well, for one thing, don't talk to me like that. I could take away the devil stone from a fully transformed Jean, who was comparable to a seventh order mage. As for you, if you take the devil stone, you will be around that level. Do you think I will hesitate to take your life?"

"You are the one underestimating my resources boy. What do you think will happen to your dear girlfriend? I heard that you recently got one? She is beautiful indeed. Should I ask someone to taste test her?"

Liu Feng's face darkened."Pyrus! Ask her spirit if what he says is true. Is she in trouble?"

After a few moments of silence, "Yes, she is surrounded, but not captive yet."

"Send Arad there. I will take care of this person here."

"Not so fast. You should just leave. The person you see here is not the same person who saw you a few months ago. This could be a disguise. Maybe even a trap to kill you. You should just run.", Pyrus warned him.

Liu Feng nodded, and he slowly walked to the wall facing out.
