Chapter 1562 Divine Punishment
As the statue crumbled, a gush of arcane array energy dissipated instantly. “There is indeed an arcane
array contained inside the statue. It seems like I’m right…” Jared mumbled.
When the young man saw the statue being destroyed by Jared, his temper flared. “You have a death
wish!” he yelled as he raised his palm and aimed a strike at Jared. At the same time, his guards drew
their sabers and charged toward Jared.
Witnessing that, Colin stepped forward and blocked the guards from advancing. Meanwhile, Flaxseed
frowned and waved his hand nonchalantly, sending the guards flying backward.
By then, the young man was already inches away from Jared. Bam!
He threw his palm toward Jared’s chest. However, Jared remained rooted to the spot and seemed to
be deep in thought. The young man, on the contrary, was thrown backward from the rebound force of
his own attack.
After steadying himself, he could not help but look at Jared in shock.

our investigation?” Flaxseed questioned Jared with a confused expression.
“How many similar temples are there in this place?” Instead of replying to Flaxseed’s question, Jared
asked a completely unrelated question.
Flaxseed was stunned for a moment before replying, “I’m not very sure, but there are definitely more
than a hundred of them.” “I think I know what’s going on.” Jared narrowed his eyes.
After saying that, he walked out of the temple. Although Flaxseed did not know what the man was up
to, he followed behind.
Meanwhile, Colin was confronting the young man outside the temple. Tens of guards had already
arrived and cordoned off the area. Jared merely swept a glance at those people and continued walking
away, ignoring them.
“Ha! Do you really think you can leave after destroying the statue? No way. I’m going to show you the
consequences of offending a deity!”
The young man started chanting something under his breath. “Divine Punishment… The crown prince
is using Divine Punishment!”
“He deserves it! How dare he destroy the deity’s statue!” “It’s impossible for anyone to survive Divine
Punishment!” Shocked, the crowd started discussing among themselves as they retreated to a safe
distance.
The young man continued to chant, and soon, a ray of dazzling bright light appeared above Jared’s
head.
Flaxseed’s eyes widened in disbelief when he saw that.
“Ancient magecraft? I can’t believe someone is still using it!”
Flaxseed was so shocked that his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets.
“What is this ancient magecraft about?”
Jared did not understand Flaxseed’s shock.
After all, Flaxseed knew so much more about charm spells and magecraft compared to him.

“Let’s go. We have to leave this place immediately.”
Flaxseed did not have time to explain further and tried to drag Jared away at once.
However, black chains suddenly appeared beneath Jared’s feet, restraining him to the ground instantly.
Right after that, Jared was struck by the beam of light above his head.
Boom!
A deafening sound thundered in the air as dust and dirt filled the atmosphere. The entire ground was
shaking.
Flaxseed and Colin were flung off their feet by the impact of the powerful force.
When the young man saw that, the corners of his lips curled up into a smirk.
Meanwhile, in the forbidden area of the palace, Tigris was staring at the tall statue from a distance.
Fury swelled within him when he saw the damage caused to the statue.
“How dare anyone destroy the statue! D*mn it!”
After muttering to himself, Tigris held up a scepter. Instantly, the blinding glow from the white gemstone
on the scepter shot through the sky, illuminating the surrounding area.
It turned out that Divine Punishment was not unleashed by that young man’s chants.
What the young man chanted was just an ordinary spell. However, the moment he started chanting,
Tigris would sense it and cast the spell for Divine Punishment from where he was.
