Amberser had never really considered assassinating the group of Paladins; he always felt the success rate was low and it would expose his strengths and weaknesses too early.
He had accurately estimated Masstar's strength. Even for one Paladin, there was no guarantee he could take them down. Winning or losing aside, just the equipment Masstar wore could increase his combat power tenfold, making the difficulty of killing him outright very high.
With ten Paladins gathered together, it would be no different from a suicide mission for Amberser to leave the castle and strike first.
Not to mention those bastards from Alchemy City who really didn't give a damn, acting as if they were just there to watch the show, leaving Amberser clueless about what they were planning.
Therefore, taking advantage of the castle's tactical defense had always been Amberser's plan.
A Mage should never leave their Mage's Tower; that was only logical.
