The Reviving King only said some words but its effect was already huge. It created s small crack in the 1st mage's confidence
It might only be a small crack but once the confidence was damaged, it will continue to spread with time
One tiny crack will one day turn into a crack big enough to shatter the masked guy's confidence
This was really something that is more effective than inflicting heavy injuries to the masked guy
With this small crack, the effects of the disadvantage that Cairo has against the masked guy would lessen
Even Cairo knows how important one's confidence in achieving Godhood. Naturally, the masked guy understood that to an even greater extent
After realizing that the Reviving King's words cracked his confidence, the masked guy immediately calmed himself
He managed to calm himself but the effects of the Reviving King's words were still there
