In that instant, the mages responsible for maintaining the mana at the nodes of the magic array fell in unison.
The eerie scene left Blake utterly shocked.
As an array master, he understood what his opponent was attempting, but he couldn't comprehend how they still possessed such strength.
From Blake's perspective, Daniel had chosen brute force to break the array, assuming the mages were key to sustaining it.
His logic was sound: by attacking these mages, he could destroy the array.
Ordinarily, this approach would have been fine, but this wasn't just any magic array; it was one Blake had meticulously crafted!
Those mages were a decoy, bait to mislead anyone attempting to break the array.
The plan was for them to waste a substantial amount of mana attacking these mages, thinking they could then escape, only to realize that defeating the mages didn't dispel the array's effects.
What despair that would be!
