YM778.TV Chapter 125 - Unexpected Turn
Feng Luang seemed to absorb the mana and expel all the corrupted mana away. A stream of grey air was expelled from her injuries forcefully. Liu Feng looked at this with shock.
"Looks like it was a very difficult fight.", he remarked.
"No doubt. Any demon general is extremely powerful. The demons came to gain an upper hand, but they lost a demon general. They left the losers. There are limited demon generals, and for two of them to die before the fight even began does not brood well for them.", Arad pointed out.
"Well, all of this is pointless if someone more powerful comes.", Feng Huang shook her head.
"How did you expel all of that corrupted mana from your wounds that easily though? It would take me more than ten minutes of concentrated meditation to achieve that feat.", Liu Feng asked, curious.
"I am a mythical beast. A beast of fire. Fire mana adores me. Don\'t compare me with the likes of you. The mana that you gave me detested the presence of the corrupted mana in my body, which they consider a sanctuary.", she harrumphed, putting on the airs.
Liu Feng smiled bitterly, and he took out another mana stone from his ring. The one in his hands was already filled to the brim with the corrupted mana, and it was pitch black.
Liu Feng took all of that mana into the remaining mana stone, but it was still a lot. He took the stone and threw it in the bag that he brought.
"Truly an ingenious idea!", Feng Huang remarked once more. "A game changer that will help us immensely in the upcoming war.".
Liu Feng smiled as he took the bag over his shoulder and looked at Arad. Arad had changed to his human form by now. Clearly, all of his clothes were torn, but something else covered him. A faint red glow covered all that had to be covered. But still, his attire was not suitable for the general populace. Liu Feng fished out a piece of garment for Arad to wear.
"Why could you not have changed your form later? We could have gotten back faster if we moved on your back.", Liu Feng suggested.
Arad\'s pleasant face turned cold. "Please do not insult me. I am a dragon. I had to do what I did because of extreme circumstances. Never make the mistake of commanding a dragon to be a mere mount."
Liu Feng quickly apologized. He certainly did not expect for this to be such a sensitive topic.
He went back to Dilheim with Arad and Feng Huang. Although there was a fight, there weren\' any casualties. Some serious injuries here and there, but that was all.
Liu Feng went into the mage tower and saw Damascus talking with Amelia about something. He saw Lucas on the second floor, using healing spells of sorts to save his precious disciples\' lives. He went to one of the unoccupied rooms in the mage tower and just collapsed on the bed there. He fell asleep almost immediately.
The next morning,
"You idiot! Wake up! Why would you sleep? Last night was spent on me trying out diplomacy. Just get up.", Liu Feng could hear Lucas cursing at him.
He rubbed his eyes and got up. The sun did not rise completely yet, but it seemed that all the kings had awakened. He went down to the hall, where the kings were talking about something. When they saw Liu Feng, Balor said, "Good, you are here. We are just speaking about how important these kids are, and how it is important that they be in better places for their protection."
Liu Feng\'s face darkened. He looked at his father, but Liu Man just gestured apologetically.
"And how will you be able to protect them? These are the most valuable force against the demons. They will definitely be attacked again and again. How will you have sufficient power to defend them? You are even as powerful as some of them."
"Boy! Careful. You are speaking with a king. Liu Man, did you not teach him manners?"
"We are talking about the survival of the entire continent and all you can think about is manners? I saved you. Be grateful. Now, father, you gave me Dilheim. It will pay its taxes whenever it should. I will send Sir Nicholas away. Dilheim can live on its own."
Balor looked away, and Liu Man retorted, "What do you mean Dilheim is yours. You used my money to make this city of yours."
Liu Feng laughed and turned around. The kings were about to stop him, but they did not. He went back up the mage tower. He came back with eleven gold bars. He threw them at Liu Man and said, "Here. With interest. Now, if you please, this city does not entertain people who see these kids as mere weapons."
Balor grunted and said, "Do you not want Darv to participate in the war that you want to hold, boy?"
"Darv is right next to Glade. If I just wait for a month, your entire kingdom will vanish. You are in no position to threaten me. Now, please leave if that is all you want to speak about."
"Good! Very good! First a human child threatens me, and then he tells me to leave? You raised your child well Liu Man!", he spat as he turned around to leave.
Liu Man raised his hand to stop Balor but Balor pushed it away. "I know that I am not at all welcome here.", he scoffed.
Balor left immediately, leaving Liu Man and Damascus. Liu Feng looked at his father and said, "Father! I did not expect you of all people to support a thought like that. Do you really think that the royal guard can protect these kids? You saw the demons that came today? There was a much more powerful one that came, but was fended off by Feng Huang, the senior that you saw here the other day. You have no idea how powerful these demons are."
Damascus was about to interject when Liu Feng looked at him and said, "You know that if your daughter was anywhere else in the world she would have been dead. To think that you would be supporting this vile line of thought."
"Just listen goddamn it."
