Synthetic Wizard
Chapter 271 - 175: Trial Challenge, Knowledge Assessment
The sudden commotion immediately drew all eyes around.
Almost instantly, many people couldn’t hold back and appeared, swiftly rushing towards the Star Tower.
However, just as they were full of joy and about to push open the door of the Star Tower, an invisible wave of air knocked them flying away.
"What’s going on?"
"Why can’t we get in?"
"Damn, there’s a magic defense array!"
A few impatient Wizard Apprentices couldn’t help but cast spells towards the door, trying to break the defense array.
But the spells on the door were like stones sinking into the sea, without causing a ripple.
The next moment, a burst of light suddenly appeared atop the tower, several streams of light descended from the sky, hitting the Wizard Apprentices attacking the door.
The few didn’t even have time to scream before they turned to ashes in an instant.
Witnessing this scene, the crowd gathered in front of the tower immediately changed their expressions, retreating in panic to keep their distance.
"What was that?" The Traveler gasped.
Even from a few hundred meters away, he could sense the potent energy wave contained in that beam of light.
That was a terrifying energy intensity capable of killing him instantly!
"A Spell Tower," said Sunan, "one of the standard combat devices of a Wizard Tower, capable of easily killing a Tier Three Legendary Knight in one shot."
The Scepter, the Traveler, and Rose all gave Sunan an astonished look.
"How do you know that?" Rose asked curiously.
Sunan shrugged without answering.
With the fate of those unfortunate souls serving as a warning, the Wizard Apprentices and Legendary Knights around dared not act recklessly anymore.
"Get out of my way!"
A cold shout suddenly rang out, followed by a short scream.
Mayvic was the first to fly towards the Star Tower, casually killing a blocking Wizard Apprentice with a stroke of lightning halfway through.
The others saw the situation and quickly moved to the sides.
They didn’t have the confidence or strength to challenge a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.
Ignoring the resentful stares from around, all eyes of the Truth Council group were fixed on the Star Tower, with excitement or joy dazzling in their eyes.
The towering structure before them was their hope for advancing as Wizards!
Without hesitation, Meijisen and others immediately took out talisman stones.
A faint glow emerged from the surface of the talisman stones, swiftly spreading and enveloping each person completely.
In the next second, more than a dozen people disappeared out of thin air.
This scene immediately caused a commotion around.
"Gone, no, they’ve gone inside!"
"Why can they get in?"
"Is it because of that stone? Does entering the tower require some kind of medium?"
Realizing this, everyone’s eyes flickered as they looked around.
Among the crowd present, perhaps someone else possessed the same kind of stone!
"Those guys have beaten us to it," the Traveler clicked his tongue.
Despite saying so, there wasn’t a hint of panic in his tone.
After all, they had four Level 3 Wizard Apprentices and a Tier Three Legendary Knight on their side, not to mention Sunan holding the fort, so they weren’t afraid of the rabble around.
"There’s no time to lose, let’s go in."
Sunan took the lead and walked toward the Star Tower.
The others saw this and quickly followed suit. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The group of five was already quite eye-catching, and as soon as they moved, they immediately drew considerable attention.
When they stopped in front of the Star Tower and opened their palms to reveal the stones, someone couldn’t bear it any longer.
A Wizard Apprentice suddenly raised his hand and shot a beam of black light, rapidly attacking Rose.
Almost simultaneously, two Legendary Knights sprang into action, leaping towards Kei and the Traveler, swinging their swords to slash down.
The actions of the three seemed to press a switch, and in an instant, the surrounding people all began to attack, dozens rushing towards Sunan and his group.
They weren’t blind to the strength of Sunan and his group, but in the face of the Star Tower’s allure, their inner greed ultimately overcame reason.
Moreover, the target was only five people, unlike the Truth Council before, which had more than ten people. There were four or five dozen attackers at least, so they thought they might have a chance to snatch the stones with sheer numbers.
As for how to divide the spoils later, that was a matter for another time.
But the next moment, they realized how mistaken their thinking was.
As they made their move, Sunan, the Scepter, the Traveler, and Rose retaliated at the same time.
Centered around the four, dozens of Magic Missiles suddenly burst forth, instantly piercing through the seven or eight attackers at the forefront.
These attackers, who at most only held Tier One Legend levels, became corpses in the blink of an eye!
Such a scene immediately frightened the remaining people into staying put, hesitant and afraid to advance.
However, Sunan and the others had no intention of letting them go, continuously casting spells that soon wiped out the attacking crowd without leaving a trace.
These Level 2 Wizard Apprentices and Tier One Legendary Knights were no different from ants, being crushed to death effortlessly by Sunan and his group.
Even if the former held more than ten times their number.
Understanding the overwhelming power disparity between themselves and Sunan’s group, the restless crowd around them immediately ceased their activities.
No one dared to make a move again, merely staying at a distance, casting mixed gazes of fear and envy at them.
Sunan and his group didn’t care, treating it as if they had merely trodden on a few ants.
All their attention was focused on the talisman stones.
As the talisman stones emitted a faint glow, spreading across their bodies, in the next instant, the five simultaneously vanished from sight.
Once they came back to their senses, Sunan found himself standing in a spacious hall.
The hall was entirely paved with white jade stone, its surface engraved with intricate patterns, appearing to contain some sort of rhythm, exuding an unusual beauty.
