Commander Alma Alloy had never personally encountered Mazdari. However, Alma was well aware of Mazdari's evil reputation.2

The Danly Union Kingdom was checking for all potentially threatening Wizards, but among them, Mazdari, who had become an apostle, possessed unrivaled power. It was pretty much impossible to face him unless one possessed the power of the Angry One. Of course, there was the reason that the Union Kingdom did not utilize wizardry in the first place. The Angry One, or in other words, the player Hegemonia, chose a build that excluded magic. It was a common build that aimed for a unified and consistent system, and Sung-Woon also frequently used it. In fact, it was an exception for Sung-Woon to use a build incorporating magic, making this situation rather special.1

Instead, the Danly Union Kingdom diligently pursued technological advancement as much as the Black Scale Empire did. Despite not originally placing much emphasis on technological advancement and knowledge systems, they were able to catch up with the Black Scale, who started out with the tendency, due to excluding magic.0
