The dark-element creature, who was trying to devour the divine tree magic tower, managed to put up with the attack from the War Drum of Fear. The dark-element creature has also developed a soul, which explained why it would try to devour the magic tower. Its soul was still in a very early prototypical stage, unlike the souls possessed by Flare and the rest.
What made the divine tree magic tower powerful was the rule embedded within it and not its materials. When Saleen hit the War Drum of Fear, its attack was multiplied tenfold because of the effect of the magic tower.
The War Drum of Fear attacked all creatures with intelligence, even those whose level of intelligence was only at a beginner level. Creatures that possessed souls would be susceptible to greater damage.
