It truly was the power of an Archmage.
Lys stood there in a daze, panicking.
Lys was a Master Alchemist, so how could he not know the importance of having high levels of magic power when cracking arrays? It could be said that when two alchemists of similar rank faced the same array, the intensity of one's mana would decide the final outcome of the contest.
Especially in this situation where one was a 9th Rank Great Mage and the other was an Archmage.
They simply didn't have the same starting line.
The advantages of an Archmage were too great. Insight, knowledge, experience… They far surpassed a 9th Rank Great Mage… Not to mention, an Archmage's understanding of laws wasn't something a Great Mage could imagine. Any of these advantages would be enough to change the outcome.
Moreover, this was assuming that they were competing with an ordinary array.
