Alfred smiled but didn't say anything.
The Great Elder of the Monochrome Magic Tower was quite speechless when Alfred played mysterious, but he was too proud to pursue further, so he simply watched the arena again.
In fact, Alfred was just as shocked as anybody else.
Normally speaking, the damage of a spell that was cast instantly would be reduced if it should've been chanted.
Normally speaking, depending on the talent and expertise of a Mage, an instantly-cast spell would be 40% to 80% as powerful as it should be. The Legendary Mages were certainly more than twenty percent stronger than Roland, but since the damage of their instantly-cast spells would be reduced, they couldn't have performed much better than Roland.
It was also the reason why many Mages stood up in shock.
They had never seen anyone who could instantly cast a spell without losing damage.
The mentors who rose to their feet soon sat down again.
