The King of Turkey looked up at the towering palace. On the palace gate, which was ten feet high, there were strange black patterns carved on it. Wisps of black energy could be vaguely seen swirling above it, filling the air with eeriness and mystery.
The Turkish Grand Preceptor, standing to the side, looked at the gate with a very nervous expression. "Does Your Majesty really want to go in?"
His voice trembled slightly, as if he was terrified of what was inside.
Upon hearing this, the King of Turkey turned to look at him, "Do we have any other options?"
Seeing the helpless expression on the King of Turkey's face, the Turkish Grand Preceptor fell silent and lowered his head slightly.
Yes, given the current situation, they really have no other choice.
After all, the strength displayed by the alien race was far too great, and Turkey was simply not capable of resisting them at present.
Seeing that the Turkish Grand Preceptor was no longer silent, the Turkish King's eyes darkened, and he shouted, "Open the door!"
At a command, two mages clad in blue robes appeared, their faces completely obscured by their cloaks, holding silver-white skull staffs, and exuding a mysterious aura.
Following the order from the King of Turland, the two magicians did not hesitate. They both raised their staffs and began chanting some kind of spell.
As the chanting began, a powerful and mysterious force surged forth, causing the surrounding world to tremble slightly.
A moment later, the mysterious power condensed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the door. The powerful force continuously impacted the door, eventually pushing it open slowly.
Once the gates were fully open, the Turkish Grand Master did not hesitate and strode directly into the palace.
As he stepped in, flames lit up on both sides, illuminating the long corridor.
The Turkish Grand Preceptor walked down the corridor, with the other Grand Preceptor beside him, his eyes filled with worry.
He cautiously surveyed his surroundings, as if afraid that something might suddenly fly out from the darkness.
After walking for quite some time, the corridor finally opened up, revealing a rather dark room that resembled a cave. Under the dim light, several thick iron chains could be barely seen intertwined and coiled around the room like a spider web.
It was not an ordinary iron chain, but an iron chain that shimmered with red light all over, as if it were made of some special material. Just by looking at it, one could feel the extraordinary power it contained.
The King of Turkey, his eyes cold, commanded, "Let the light in."
At a command, the two magicians raised their wands once more, and a powerful, mysterious force shot into the sky, directly hitting the roof and tearing open a gap, allowing sunlight to finally fall and illuminate the dark cavern.
The sight before him made the Turkish Grand Preceptor's eyes widen, his heart leap into his throat, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Several bright red iron chains intertwined, firmly locking up a humanoid monster that was entirely black.
Although it appeared to be humanoid, the monster was a full five meters tall, with bull-shaped horns on its head, black bat-like wings on its back, and a rather eerie black skin. Its entire body exuded an ominous aura.
Staring at the humanoid monster, the Turkish Grand Preceptor's eyes widened in shock. "This is... the Demon King who nearly wiped out the entire continent back then?"
He knew about this forbidden object, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
Just by looking at it, one can feel the terrifying power of this monster, and a sense of fear arises involuntarily in one's heart.
If such a monster were released, it would surely cause a huge uproar and a disaster.
The King of Turland looked up at the Demon King and said slowly, "Back then, this guy single-handedly turned the entire continent upside down, causing countless people to perish. It was one of the greatest disasters that the human race has ever encountered."
"Even when more than a dozen major powers joined forces, they were still unable to do anything about it. In the end, the major powers suffered heavy casualties, and some countries were even destroyed as a result."
The Turkish Grand Preceptor frowned. "As a member of the royal family, Your Majesty should be more aware of this guy's terror than I am. Do you really intend to let him out?"
The Turkish Grand Master was also aware of the history the King of Turkey had recounted, which is why he was so afraid of the Demon King.
After all, this guy is too powerful. If it is not handled properly, the continent may fall into danger again.
Upon hearing this, the King of Tulland suddenly turned to look at him, "Do you know how many magicians were sacrificed across the entire continent to seal this guy back then?"
The Turkish Grand Preceptor's lips twitched, but he remained silent.
He didn't know the exact number, but just thinking about it, he knew it must be a huge number, given how terrifying the monster was.
The King of Turkey slowly said, "Thirty-eight thousand seven hundred and twenty-five."
Upon hearing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor's eyes changed, and his expression became very complicated.
This is an enormous number, nearly 40,000 mages sacrificed, just to deal with one enemy, and not even to kill him, but to seal him away.
The King of Turkey suddenly asked, "Why is this number so accurate?"
The Turkish Grand Master remained silent.
Even as the Grand Preceptor, he could only know the general outline of such top secrets; only the royal family could know the specific details.
Moreover, even princes might not know this clearly; only the ruler of a country is qualified to know these secrets.
The King of Turkey said, "Only one out of a hundred people can become a magician, and among a thousand magicians, three can be called top magicians."
At this point, he looked up at the Demon King, "And in order to seal this guy, all the sacrificed magicians were top magicians, each of whom was known as a genius. But even with so many lives lost, it was only to seal this guy away."
Hearing this explanation, the Turkish Grand Master became even more worried, "Such a powerful being, can it really be released?"
Back then, the power of the mainland was also very strong, and it still took such a great price to seal the Demon King. If he is released now, the cost of sealing him again is unimaginable.
It might even be difficult to seal it away; everything was too uncertain, leaving the Turkish Grand Master completely at a loss.
The King of Turkey's gaze darkened slightly. "That's right, powerful! This guy is terrifyingly powerful! Isn't that precisely why he's our most advantageous trump card?"
With that, he roared, "Begin! Unseal the Demon King!"
At a command, hundreds of figures began to appear around, all of them magicians wearing blue robes, quickly filling the entire cavern.
Not far away, two figures walked towards the King of Turland. They were two old men with white beards and thin faces, wearing white robes, and their level was obviously higher than those of the blue-robed mages.
An old man approached the King of Turkey and said, "The ceremony has not yet begun; Your Majesty still has a choice."
As a top-level magician, he knew very well what unsealing the Demon King meant, and naturally he wanted the King of Turland to consider it carefully.
The King of Turkey's gaze was resolute. "Let's begin!"
