Never fight a mage in his Mage's Tower unless it's a surprise attack.
This might as well be considered common sense, but things in life don't always go as desired.
Just like now, once the battle has commenced, there is no turning back.
The castle's magical defense system had been fully activated, countless jets of Dark Corrosive Energy shot out from within the castle, falling upon the enemy troops like cannon fire.
Mortals couldn't withstand such magical power, and anyone touched by it would corrode into skeletal remains.
But the Paladin and that Light Priest were unaffected; the tyranny of the Anti-Magic Field caused all magic to dissipate completely upon entering the range of their light shield. While the field was active, the two were essentially immune to magic.
Unless a spell of divine magnitude could be cast, it would be impossible to breach the constraints of the Anti-Magic Field.
At this moment, the distinction between true Legends and pretenders was evident.
