Chapter 179 - 179: Wishful Thinking[External attack detected, emergency increase in defense array strength!]
[50%...60%...80%]
[Activate spell turrets... Activation failed, all spell turrets are damaged!]
[Maximizing defense array energy!]
In the midst of battle, Sunan heard the mechanical voice of the fleshy orb, and he frowned in confusion.
External attack?
Who could it be?
The onlookers without keys?
But from the auxiliary intelligent lifeform's words, the intensity of the attack seemed significant. It shouldn't be possible with just those second-level wizard apprentices and legendary knights.
"Whatever, it works in my favor, draining the Starlight Tower's energy," Sunan muttered to himself, refocusing on the battle at hand.
In the hall, two secret puppet girls were locked in a fierce one-on-one battle with two Dark Golems.
The fight was evenly matched, with both sides having their moments.
Elsewhere, five Adamantine Golems, leading dozens of elite Iron Golems, besieged another Dark Golem.
Though slightly at a disadvantage, they weren't losing anytime soon.
Sunan himself faced off against a Dark Golem.
To conserve mental energy, he relied only on magical items and bloodline imprints.
After a barrage of over twenty Disaster Claws, the Dark Golem was riddled with holes, battered and bruised.
Sunan then activated the air blade imprint in his hand, unleashing countless sharp air blades that shredded the Dark Golem into pieces!
Compared to the numerous tactics of a third-level wizard apprentice, Dark Golems were relatively easier to handle.
With his opponent defeated, Sunan wasted no time in attacking the second Dark Golem.
Taking them down one by one, in less than twenty minutes, all four Dark Golems were vanquished.
Having dealt with the Dark Golems, the fleshy orb fell silent, offering no further response.
Sunan chuckled, knowing that this auxiliary intelligent lifeform had run out of tricks.
Strictly speaking, the Starlight Tower's defenses weren't weak.
Whether it was the eighteen spell turrets or the numerous golems, they could easily crush any third-level wizard apprentice.
But they happened to encounter him, someone with a "cheat."
The creators of the Starlight Tower, the [Dark Throne], probably never anticipated today's scenario.
Another fortunate aspect was that the battle occurred inside the tower.
Had it been outside, with the protection of the defense array, destroying the spell turrets wouldn't have been as easy. It would have cost several times, if not tenfold, the resources to defeat the Starlight Tower's defenses!
As he pondered, Sunan suddenly felt the sigil stone inside his robe heating up.
Realizing what was happening, he didn't hesitate to throw the sigil stone away.
Sure enough, in the next instant, the sigil stone vanished.
"Can't beat me, so you're trying to expel me?"
Sunan scoffed.
"Wishful thinking!"
[Wizard apprentice, we waive your trial fees, please leave the Starlight Tower immediately!]
The fleshy orb spoke.
Sunan ignored the inflexible low-level intelligent lifeform, scanning his surroundings.
With the Starlight Tower clearly unable to deal with him, it was time to think about acquiring the tower's resources.
Having paid such a price to defeat the Starlight Tower's defenses, he wasn't about to leave empty-handed.
Activating the levitation spell on his robe, Sunan rose into the air, flying toward the nearest metal door. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the door with over a dozen spell missiles.
However, behind the door was merely a small puppet factory, likely used for golem maintenance and charging.
Undeterred, Sunan continued exploring other metal doors.
As expected, most doors led to small puppet factories, except the largest metal door, which opened into a smaller hall.
On the white jade stone floor was an intricate magic array.
Sunan examined it and quickly identified it as an extradimensional creature summoning array.
The Goliath from earlier had likely been summoned using this array.
Seeing no valuable findings on this floor, Sunan looked downward. With a mental command, his metal storm swept forth, crashing into the floor!
Boom!
Even with a defensive array and a hardness surpassing magical adamantine, the floor couldn't withstand the full force of the magic core for more than ten seconds, shattering to reveal a massive gap.
Sunan leaped into the gap, descending to the floor below.
He found himself in a hall identical to the one above, but empty.
"Is this another trial area?"
After
This was a huge windfall!
"With so many Construction Potions, I should have enough to synthesize a super talent crystal model!"
Sunan was overjoyed.
The Construction Potions alone had repaid his investment this time.
Regaining composure, Sunan swiftly collected all the potions, then explored the other storage rooms one by one.
The 'Metals,' 'Magical Plants,' and 'Gems' rooms were filled with materials matching their labels.
In the room labeled 'Others,' Sunan found over a dozen Psychic Pearls.
After a thorough sweep, Sunan's spatial ring was nearly full.
Looking at the myriad of spoils inside, Sunan felt deeply satisfied.
The total value of these items was immeasurable, many beyond the valuation of gold coins.
For instance, the Construction Potions were priceless!
He had undoubtedly hit the jackpot this time!
Returning to the central hall, Sunan ascended, breaking through the ceiling to reach the next level.
He was greeted by the vast expanse of the starry sky, a white jade stone floor beneath his feet, and an element pool not far away, with the familiar fleshy orb floating nearby.
Recognizing the familiar scene, Sunan immediately understood.
This was the control center of the Starlight Tower.
[Wizard apprentice, you have caused immense damage to the Starlight Tower. By regulation, you will be placed on the organization's wanted list!]
[Please leave the Starlight Tower immediately, return all plundered materials, and enter the detention area to await judgment by the organization!]
"Oh?" Sunan chuckled, asking casually, "When will they come?"
[The specific time is unknown, depending on the status of the dimensional barrier recovery!]
Dimensional barrier recovery?
Sunan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
What did this mean?
"What is this dimensional barrier recovery?"
However, the auxiliary intelligent life did not answer, repeating its previous statements instead.
"If you can't provide valuable information, then you're useless to me."
Sunan raised his hand, a bolt of lightning striking the fleshy orb, reducing it to char.
Unlike a tower spirit, which could exist in non-physical form, auxiliary intelligent life usually had a physical body.
For example, the crystal ball at the top of the Dragon Skeleton Tower was Butler No. 1's body.
And the fleshy orb was the body of the Starlight Tower's auxiliary intelligent life.
With its destruction, the auxiliary intelligent life of the Starlight Tower ceased to exist.
However, even without it, the Starlight Tower could continue basic operations according to pre-set programs.
The advantage was that Sunan no longer had to worry about the auxiliary intelligent life harassing him.
"This element pool is larger than the one in Dragon Forest, but unfortunately, I can't take it with me."
Sunan eyed the Starlight Tower with some envy, but it was destined to be beyond his control.
Without the tower's secret core, and uncertain if the [Dark Throne] had left any contingencies, claiming it was impossible.
However, the tower itself was excellent material.
In the future, should he decide to build his wizard's tower, he could dismantle the Starlight Tower for materials.
"Constructing the talent crystal model here would be faster than in the Dragon Skeleton Tower."
Sunan considered his options and decided to construct the talent crystal model here.
After all, the Starlight Tower no longer posed a threat, with all its combat capabilities destroyed, leaving only the extradimensional creature summoning array and the defense array.
For the former, he could station a secret puppet near the summoning array, eliminating any summoned creature immediately.
The latter now served as his protection.
The Starlight Tower would autonomously keep all intruders at bay.
Unless someone exhausted the tower's energy to breach the defense array, he could stay here undisturbed.
