A white light shattered the protective shield of the Stellar Spire and smashed the connecting platform, leaving behind a large mass of rubble. The protection that seemed indestructible a few minutes ago was the most robust layer on the demon hunter’s defense line. The Council of Elders had not been able to weaken it at all after so long until that white light appeared.

Guards in other areas had seen what happened. For a moment, they could not believe their eyes. Then, Master Teuton roared, awakening the guards. “Stop them!” he shouted.

The target of the Council of Elders was the shield of the Stellar Spire. They tried to break the deadlock by cutting off the support from Coldfrost Citadel to Coldpath. They had been planning this attack the entire time. The simultaneous attacks on the command post and spire platform were just a diversion tactic to hide their special weapon as they waited for the right moment.

Nearly half of the guards were scattered in other points of the defensive line when the door of the Stellar Spire was blown open.

Teuton’s roar awakened the stunned guards. The temple guards immediately rushed to stop the soldiers of the Council of Elders. The surviving guards on the collapsed platform quickly reorganized and rushed to prevent the breach. However, despite their fearlessness, their enemies were already ahead of them. Hundreds of soldiers of the Council of Elders stormed in, and the remaining firepower on the collapsed platform could not stop them.

The small number of guards were unable to defend the entrance after losing the vital protective shield.

“Make the call! Make the call!” Teuton turned to a subordinate. “Inform the Nightwatch; tell them that the line of defense is down. Blow up the spire immediately!”

The young demon hunter behind him was terrified. “But we’ll—”

Teuton grabbed the young demon hunter by his collar like a raging lion. “There are only the old and the weak in Coldfrost Citadel! If the citadel falls, we’ll lose the support and be trapped here anyway!” he said.

In those few crucial seconds, the Council of Elders had stormed past the defense of the guards, arriving before the entrance of the Stellar Spire. A demon hunter, who looked like a commander, raised his sacred silver dagger. “Follow the order of the sages, enter.”

He lunged into the spire. A second later, a green fireball broke out from inside the spire. The demon hunters had never seen such a weird fire, which emanated a terrifying, evil power. The soldier, who went in a moment ago, was blown several hundred meters out. Even the demon hunters who were a little farther away were not spared. The spreading of evil flames shocked them.

A giant, distorted skeleton came out of the Stellar Spire. Burning with green flames, the skeleton looked at the shocked demon hunters, grinning. Its voice boomed like thunder. “Surprise!” the skeleton said.

It lunged out of the tower like a reptile. The skeleton, dubbed the Lord of the Abyss, was wielding a sword and slaying the soldiers of the Council of Elders. “Attack!” it shouted.

It was as if the Stellar Spire had opened its door to hell; many demons and other warriors swarmed out the top of the spire with an earsplitting battle cry and burning demonic flares.

Demon warriors were wielding burning axes, and dark elf sorcerers were summoning thunderstorms. The coalition stormed out of the spire, catching the soldiers of the Council of Elders by surprise. They had anticipated fierce resistance and the self-destruction of the spire, but a 100,000-strong demonic army greeting them at the door was something out of their expectation.
