The Golden Throne

Chapter 229: Battle of the Giants (3)

The water started becoming cold. Extremely cold. It started solidifying, and cracks appeared on the surface of the ball. It slowly moved towards the five demons, who were looking at the ball of mana with contempt and with laughing faces.

“So this is all that you could muster up? A ball of liquid mana? Children are children.” a demon laughed.

The ball of mana was in front of them right now, and it just stood still. One of the demons just couldn’t help it, and it took a few steps to poke the ball of mana with its finger.

Crack! Crack!

The mana started moving all of a sudden, and it consumed the demon like it was a wild fire. It expanded in a flash, and before the other demons could even react, they were all frozen. They looked like they were ice sculptures to any one who didn’t know better.

“That was terrifying.” Liu Feng said.

“People tend to underestimate the water element, thinking that you cannot attack with it. It is too bad, they just don’t know what they are missing.” Aquous said.

“Yeah. Some people.” Liu Feng laughed uncertainly. 

He looked ahead. The battled field was empty now, and he could not see anything. On one side of the city, there was nothing to be seen. It was just flat ground. But on the side that Liu Feng was on, and around the edges of the city, the buildings still stood standing.

“If the demon ministers took the heavy brunt of the force, then they should be at least a little injured, right?” Liu Feng thought to himself. He looked at the black pillar. 

It was humongous, and he was extremely close to it.

“I took care of a lot of demon captains. I think it is time for me to take care of this.” Liu Feng thought to himself. He slowly started walking towards the pillar. 

Luckily for him, the battle of the higher ups was going on to the side, and Liu Feng could conveniently skip through to the pillar itself. After a little walking, he could see what was causing the huge pillar to appear in the first place.

Right underneath the pillar, there was a circular portal of sorts, but the portal was just existing. Nothing was seen inside the portal, and Liu Feng assumed that the portal was just dormant. He looked around the portal. As expected, there were several demons that were guarding the portal. He switched back to the greatsword as he started walking towards the portal.

“What is going on? Why are there only demon captains and demon soldiers here? There should be at least one demon general to guard here, right?” Liu Feng thought to himself as he slowly showed himself to the demons.

“Intruder!” they cried out.

A lot of them charged towards him. Liu Feng got back to fighting. He gripped the great sword as he started swinging the sword towards them. With every swing, he grew more and more tired, because he had been fighting for quite a while already, but he did not stop. 

“I am losing my mana supply, and these idiots are dying too quickly and increasing the corrupted mana in the air. So irritating.” Liu Feng grumbled.

The group of demons that was guarding the portal was thinning, and slowly, only one demon was left.

“You despicable human. You shall not pass. Once a demon general comes here, you shall meet your demise. Your entire kingdom shall be massacred.” the demon spat out.

“I could say the same thing about you.” Liu Feng said as the greatsword came crashing down. The demon fell on the ground, and all that Liu Feng could see was the portal now. He walked up to it, and started studying it closely.

There were runes everywhere, but they all looked crude, and as if they were temporary. The portal itself was made of metal boundaries, and Liu Feng could recognize a few of the circles there, but not all of them.

“I have no idea how to destroy the portal. What the hell should I do?” he wondered out loud.

“Take a look around. Something like this should have a power source, should it not?” a familiar voice whispered in his ears.

Liu Feng turned around, but he could see nothing.

“That man. He is here. What is he doing here? He should be helping us right?” Liu Feng was shocked.

There was no response. Liu Feng recalled the words of the man who just spoke. It was the same person who advised him to rush to the capital as fast as possible.

Indeed, there was a bright and purple colored crystal nearby. But to call it big was an understatement. It was at least twice as big as Liu Feng himself, and Liu Feng had a strong suspicion that it was a magic crystal, which was nigh impossible to break.

“How do I deal with a power supply like this?” he wondered as he walked up to the crystal. It was propped up by a platform of sorts, and just like before, there were magic circles everywhere. But one thing that Liu Feng noticed after coming close to the crystal was that it wasn’t completely purple. The top of the crystal was completely transparent, like it was not completely full.

“They must be storing mana inside it to use for this. Oh my god, this is troublesome. If they want to, then they can speed up this process.” Liu Feng’s face changed. 

He raised his greatsword and struck the ground on which it lay. The magical circles started shaking, like they were alive, and that they were the ones that had to bear the brunt of the force.

“Just what do you think you are trying to do?” Liu Feng heard a cold voice behind him.
