The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 991

“W-What's going on?”

Everyone was surprised. They waved their hands, but their martial energies were gone, effectively turning them into ordinary people.

Warren frowned. He clenched his fists, but the martial energy within him was suppressed as well, and there was no way of tapping into it.

“I'm guessing this is an arcane array designed to suppress our martial energy,” explained Blake.

“Is there any way to destroy this arcane array?” asked Warren.

With their martial energy suppressed, there was no way they could open the coffin. That, in turn, meant that they couldn't check to see if there was any treasure inside.

Blake shook his head and replied, “An arcane array of this magnitude is beyond me. Also, it has the mountain supporting it, and the river strengthening it. That means only a top mage can create something like this. If my guess is right, then this is the legendary Dragon Vein that previous emperors had talked about.” “Dragon Vein?” asked Warren curiously.

He knew nothing about that kind of stuff, so he had no idea what Blake was talking about.

“In the past, the royal family would ask powerful mages to find a spot known as the Dragon Vein. It is said that the place could be used to bring prosperity to the country. There is no saying which emperor found this Dragon Vein or when this tomb was built, though,” replied Blake.

Warren only understood what was going on after Blake explained everything. The former was a little reluctant to give up on that coffin, but they had all lost their martial energies. Hence, they had no way of getting closer to the coffin and could only go back the way they came. I guess this trip is not a total waste though since I got this painting.

“Let's head back then. We've already found the coffin and there is no way to open it anyway, so this will be the end of the Trial.”

Warren had no choice but to issue the order and end the Trial.

Many were disappointed because they assumed that they could get a lot of magical items from the Emperor's Mausoleum. Yet, in the end, they were going to leave empty-handed. All they got was a painting... which Edgar had already claimed.

But since Warren had already issued his instructions, everyone had to obey. There was no point in staying anyway since they couldn't do anything without their martial energy.

Just as Warren was about to lead the others back, Jared suddenly stepped up.

“Hold it right there! Do you really think you can leave after stealing my stuff?”

Jared grinned as a cruel glint flashed past his eyes.
