The radiant element rays and chaotic beams accompanied the scene.

Sunan transformed into a humanoid artillery without sparing any resources, taking on eighteen spell towers in a bombardment, without losing momentum.

One after another, the towers shattered under the continuous bombardment of high-level rune gemstones.

In just a dozen breaths, all eighteen spell towers were utterly destroyed!

Sunan paid the price of seven Rings of Supreme Protection and over sixty high-level rune gemstones.

He took out the Spirit Pearl and held it in his hand, absorbing it to replenish his spiritual power, secretly feeling grateful.

Luckily, Fragrant Star Tower isn’t a true wizard tower, equipped with only eighteen spell towers; otherwise, if it were one with hundreds of spell towers firing simultaneously, even with Rings of Supreme Protection and Demon Pattern Core, he would have been reduced to ashes.

During the brief moment Sunan destroyed the spell towers, the golems dispatched by Fragrant Star Tower were completely overwhelmed and beaten down.

Seeing Sunan’s Golem Legion about to rush into the doors, Fragrant Star Tower closed all doors without hesitation.

[Intrusion intensity detected, upgrading defense strength to Level 3 standards!]

[Warning, Level 3 defense program activated, pausing all unnecessary energy consumption, halting non-combat facility operations!]

As the voice faded, the massive metal door in the center suddenly opened, and enormous creatures emerged.

These beings resembled deformed ogres but were much larger in size.

Estimated height over twenty meters.

Their bodies seemed constructed from clay, tightly bound, with numerous anguished, twisted faces visible beneath the skin as if other beings trapped within were desperately trying to escape.

No facial features were present, only a deep, black cavity.

"Dark Gloom Golem!"

Sunan’s expression grew more solemn.

This was an evil golem made of flesh and soul, its materials derived from beings subjected to extreme torture, hence carrying extreme malice, pain, and despair.

Due to the sinister manufacturing method, few wizards (apprentices) specialized in Undead Series would craft such evil golems.

Dark Gloom Golems were far more powerful in combat than Refined Gold Golems, having reached Tier Four Legend level.

And emerging from the door were a total of four Dark Gloom Golems!

Sunan reckoned this was likely Fragrant Star Tower’s ultimate fighting sequence!

"Ah!!!"

Agonizing screams emanated from the black cavity on the Dark Gloom Golem’s face.

The sound full of despair and pain caused Sunan’s head to ache slightly, throwing him into a daze.

By the time he regained his composure, the four Dark Gloom Golems had already charged into the Golem Legion, crushing their way towards him.

...

Outside Fragrant Star Tower.

After Sunan and his group entered the tower, the people hiding around could no longer stay put and revealed themselves, surrounding Fragrant Star Tower, attempting various methods to enter.

Unfortunately, all attempts failed, and a few unlucky ones seemed to have accidentally touched some taboo, getting blasted to ashes by the spell towers.

For a moment, the crowd looked at Fragrant Star Tower helplessly, as if staring at a delicious cake but unable to touch it.

Just then, the vacant area in front of the tower suddenly flashed with light, and over ten figures appeared out of thin air.

It was the Truth Council group along with Scepter, Rose, Traveler, and Kei, who had entered shortly before.

"What’s going on? Why am I outside?"

Mayvic was dumbfounded.

He had been focused on flipping through magic books, preparing to conquer this challenge quickly, but before he knew it, he was outside the tower.

What happened?

Yet no one answered his question.

Including Meijisen, everyone looked confused, exchanging glances.

Scepter’s group was equally clueless, lost in confusion.

"What happened?"

"Did we touch some rule and got expelled?"

"Probably not, look, the Truth Council members were also teleported out."

"Then what’s exactly happening... Wait! Sunan didn’t come out?"

Kei’s reminder made the other three suddenly realize.

That’s right, everyone who went inside came out, but where is Sunan?

Could he still be inside the tower?

The four exchanged glances, the same thought crossing their minds.

Could the current situation be related to Sunan?

If it’s Sunan, causing such a situation might not be impossible.

After all, the current scenario seems intricately tied to Sunan.

"Something’s amiss, Sunan hasn’t come out!"

Evens from the Truth Council quickly noted Sunan hadn’t been teleported out like them.

Mayvic’s face darkened, and he said solemnly, "Everyone got teleported out of the tower, except for Sunan; he’s definitely behind this, capture his accomplices for interrogation!"

"Don’t waste effort, those guys clearly don’t know anything."

Fabio glanced at the clearly confused Scepter’s group, frowning in thought.

"But this most likely has something to do with Sunan, what exactly did he do?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"No matter what happened, the important thing now is to figure out how to re-enter the tower."

Meijisen said in a deep voice, glancing at the talisman stone in his palm.

"No use." Fabio had already tried, "The key isn’t responding."

Others tried again, but no matter how they activated the key, it was to no avail.

Helpless, they all turned to Meijisen, waiting for his decision.

Meijisen was silent for a moment, his face tense, suddenly pointing towards a nearby armored man, clearly a Legendary Knight, and coldly said:

"You, attack Fragrant Star Tower!"

The knight’s face changed dramatically, "What are you trying to do?"

Mayvic immediately understood Meijisen’s plan, stepping up, locking eyes coldly with the knight, speaking in a chilling tone: "Either attack Fragrant Star Tower or die, choose one!"

The rest of the Truth Council cast unfriendly glances.

The knight’s face flickered with uncertainty for a moment before ultimately surrendering.

He couldn’t possibly match against over ten Level 3 Wizard Apprentices.

His face pale, the knight walked towards Fragrant Star Tower, hesitated, then fiercely swung out a Sword Qi before quickly retreating, watching the tower top as if facing a deadly enemy. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The previous unlucky ones were killed by beams shot from the top of the tower!

Yet nothing happened.

The tower top remained inactive.

Seeing this, the knight showed a look of ecstatic relief.

Meijisen’s group exchanged looks.

"Seems like something’s changed inside the tower." Fabio frowned in thought.

"Why worry? "Mayvic showed eager anticipation, "Since attacking Fragrant Star Tower won’t provoke retaliation, we should just attack. Once the defense array is breached, we can enter without a key!"

This statement received unanimous approval.

Without delay, Meijisen and others began casting spells, and in an instant, countless magical attacks struck Fragrant Star Tower.

The defense array enveloping the entire tower immediately rippled with waves.

Witnessing the Truth Council’s actions, Scepter was immediately enlightened.

"Seems they’re trying to break through directly!"

Traveler hesitated: "Should we join in?"

The three exchanged glances, didn’t hesitate long, and soon joined the attack on Fragrant Star Tower.

Kei hesitated momentarily but also joined in.

Towards Fragrant Star Tower, he wasn’t as eager and desperate as the others.

After all, he had already taken the Dawn Potion.

Comparatively, he’s more worried about what danger Sunan has encountered within the tower.

No matter what, breaking the defense array to explore inside will reveal the truth.

As the two strongest groups successively launched attacks, other observers couldn’t hold back and joined the siege.

Once the defense array is breached, Fragrant Star Tower’s doors would open to them as well.

Thus, they could partake in the treasure quest as well!

With this thought, many felt invigorated.
