King's decree

Rain increased his speed as he flew towards the castle, landing atop a nearby building before Branden and the others could catch up. He immediately put his magical abilities to work, trying to scan the castle's interior. However, a weird feeling bothered him as he realized that his magic had ceased to function as soon as it reached the castle's walls. Even the king had prepared countermeasures against him.

This discovery sent a shiver down Rain's spine, as it was evident that someone within the castle, possibly even the king himself, had been well-prepared for his arrival. It was no coincidence; it was a calculated move to stop his magical skills. This meant that Rain needed to exercise extreme caution and expect further challenges within the castle.
