King Xanmara could already see another dust cloud in the distance, which meant that a second group of Jinns was now headed in their direction.
The moment their barrier breaks, it will spell doom for him and their people.
His ancestors, who were much more powerful and more numerous than the population of his Kingdom, had failed to thwart the Jinn invasion.
Since that was the case, it was impossible for him to resist them with the current forces under his disposal.
Knowing that only annihilation awaited him and his people, he decided to go all in, sacrificing even his people for the sake of survival.
"Give me your lives!" King Xanmara shouted. "For the Absolute!"
All the people inside the city suddenly knelt on the ground, with the weaker ones collapsing and losing consciousness on the spot.
King Xanmara didn't plan to kill them but only took half of their Life Force to complete the ritual.
