After the terrifying power of Collapse Singularity erupted without restraint beside the magic tower, Punk, who had watched the battle with utmost vigilance from beginning to end, no longer concealed his astonishment. And besides him, Babang, who stood on the ground looking utterly fearless, also opened his mouth wide in shock.
Make no mistake, the two spellcasters were not shocked because the enemy's defensive measures were terrifyingly powerful, nor because the Rune Sage's counterattacks were too dense and wondrous, but because...
That towering magic spire, soaring into the clouds, had actually been blasted open with a huge gap by one of Punk's Legendary Magic spells—this was no insignificant crack in a protective shield, but a genuine, enormous wound visible to the naked eye!
Through the broken hole, the spellcasters could even see several utterly wrecked rooms inside. And over the following hundredth of a second, this Legendary creation that had stood in the Kaiboldo Imperial Nation for hundreds of thousands of years did not release a single effective or ineffective counterattack or defensive spell. It stood motionless like a poplar tree with its trunk smashed apart, looking so miserable that it almost seemed a little innocent.
Even as the lingering ripples of the Destruction Law continued to spread, the magic tower's few remaining alchemical pillars began to sway precariously. Not a single repair array inside the tower tried to save the strange structure, and there was no sign whatsoever of its master, Sage Owen, appearing.
Thus, after one terrifying high-destruction attack, the region that should have become the battlefield of three Legendary powerhouses instead fell into an eerie silence.

"Babang thinks... there's something wrong with this magic tower, right? Babang hasn't even attacked yet, but it already looks like it's about to collapse..."
Staring blankly at the "magic tower"
