The Demon King quickly spotted the three people below, and his brow furrowed immediately. "Insects?"
In his view, humans are nothing but insects, easily crushed, and their lives are not worth mentioning.
After speaking, he flew towards the King of Turland at an incredible speed, like a ghost.
Faced with such speed, the King of Turland and the Turland Grand Master were completely unable to react and simply stood there dumbfounded.
The old man in white robes was the first to react, shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
He swiftly moved to block the King of Turland, raising his staff high, and a barrier instantly appeared before them, enveloping the three of them.
The next instant, the Demon King appeared in front of the three of them, his black claws whistling out and instantly shattering the barrier.
"Zzz!"
The claws continued to whistle forward, instantly obliterating the old man's upper body, leaving only a bloodied half-body standing there.
The Demon King's eyes were icy cold. He raised his claws and tasted some of the remaining blood. His eyes lit up slightly. "It's still a pretty good tonic."
After speaking, his gaze darkened, and he grabbed the remaining part of the old man's body, which immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and was absorbed by him.
As a top-tier mage, the old man's power was naturally considerable. Upon acquiring that power, the Demon King's eyes brightened slightly. "Not bad, truly not bad!"
He had been sealed away for a long time and had not tasted fresh blood for a long time. Moreover, the old man's blood was of the highest quality, containing rich magical power. After absorbing it, he felt refreshed.
Seeing this, the Turkish Grand Master was utterly terrified and collapsed to the ground, exclaiming, "It's over!"
Even the most powerful magicians in Turkey are nothing compared to the Demon King, let alone ordinary people like them. Encountering such a ruthless being, they are almost certain to die.
The Demon King also noticed the commotion. Facing the two, he looked at them with utter disdain, as if they were lowly ants. "They're an eyesore!"
With a shout, he raised his claws and swung them at the King of Turland. Against such a weakling, a mere tap would be enough to make him vanish from the world.
The King of Turland stared calmly at the Demon King. "Your power hasn't fully recovered yet, has it?"
The sound was like a spell, and the Demon King's claws suddenly stopped, just inches away from the Turan Grand Preceptor.
The Demon King's gaze fell upon the King of Tulland. "What do you mean?"
His strength was indeed not fully restored, just as the King of Turland had said, and the King of Turland's words clearly indicated that he knew some inside information.
Despite the deadly claws that could kill at any moment, the King of Turland remained calm, his gaze fixed on the Demon King. "I know a way to quickly restore your power."
Upon hearing this, the Demon King's expression changed slightly. "Oh?"
Faced with the claws that were so close, threatening to kill him with a single misstep, the King of Turland dared not be careless. He said seriously, "As long as you absorb enough magicians and take their magic power for yourself, you can fully restore your strength."
"And as the king, I have the authority to allow you to absorb enough magicians."
Upon hearing this, the Demon King sneered, "Don't be ridiculous. You think a mere human can toy with me? If I kill you, the mages within my territory will come to avenge you. I can absorb as much as I want, can't I?"
The death of a king, a figure of such high status, is bound to cause a great uproar.
At that time, all seventy mages in the city will surely gather here, determined to kill him and avenge the king.
At that time, those with high magical power will stand in front of him, and he can absorb whomever he wants, doing whatever he pleases.
Upon hearing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor's face turned ashen, and his eyes, which had just brightened slightly, dimmed again.
When the King of Turland said this, he felt that he had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but he did not expect that it would be extinguished by the Demon King in the blink of an eye.
The King of Turkey remained completely unperturbed and continued, "To have your existence exposed before your power has fully recovered must not be good news for you, right?"
"After all, the royal family of the mainland knows exactly how many people you killed back then. Once they know you have awakened, they will definitely send their strongest magician to suppress and kill you."
"With our current strength, are we alright to deal with those strongest individuals?"
The Demon King's eyes changed slightly, his gaze fixed on the King of Turland, as if pondering his words.
What he said made sense. His strength had not yet fully recovered, and he was far weaker than before. If he were to be surrounded by many powerful figures, the outcome would be hard to predict.
After a moment's thought, the Demon King withdrew his claws. "What do you want?"
He didn't believe that a king was being kind; he suspected the man had ulterior motives.
After all, he was the enemy, and the mages he absorbed were his subjects. No king would be so foolish as to sacrifice his subjects to help the enemy.
The King of Turkey looked at him and said, “Once you regain your strength, you may slaughter as you please, but you must spare Turkey. For this, I am willing to be your servant.”
The Demon King was quite surprised by this suggestion. "A servant?"
He had slaughtered many humans, but this was the first time he had heard such a request, that someone was willing to submit to him voluntarily.
Of course, more often than not, those people died the moment they saw him, without even having the chance to say those words.
The King of Turland said, "When you go to war, I will train an army to obey your commands. Not only that, I will also find powerful magicians for you to make your strength grow stronger and stronger, and do everything that is in your best interest."
The Demon King's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he said, "That's a good suggestion."
Upon hearing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor breathed a sigh of relief, and the Turkish King was finally able to put his mind at ease.
The Demon King stared at him, "You know my strength. If you dare to fool me, I will surely destroy your kingdom!"
As a force that once turned the mainland upside down, his threat undoubtedly has a huge deterrent effect.
The King of Turkey bowed slightly. "You can rest assured."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp claw flashed past, and the head of the Turkish Grand Master flew off, leaving only a body gushing blood.
The King of Turkey was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
Since they had already agreed to his proposal, they were now on the same side. However, the Demon King's sudden attack caught the King of Turland off guard.
The Demon King looked at the body with disdain, "This insect is annoying me."
After saying this, he walked outside, saying as he went, "Hand over the magicians you've prepared. Only then can you ensure the safety of your people, right?"
The King of Turland glanced at the Turland Grand Preceptor's body, but did not linger. He turned around and quickly followed the Demon King's steps.
