"Clang—!"
With a sound of steel clashing, the tips of the long spears that were simultaneously cut off began to fall to the ground, leaving only the broken spears in the hands of the soldiers, one by one.
"What?!" The soldiers immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The knights and mages behind them were also somewhat shocked. The noble girl named Claire's complexion became slightly serious, but without the slightest hesitation, she issued an order.
"It seems the opponent is not an ordinary thief; he is clearly a master. All soldiers below Level 20, retreat! Knights, advance!"
With the command, the soldiers immediately retreated swiftly, replaced by an expert knight holding a longsword, who stepped forward simultaneously and charged at Fang Li.
The speed of the knight was already beginning to exceed the range of ordinary people.
If this were in the Hidan no Aria world, these knights would probably be S-Rank Butei, already belonging to the realm of the non-human.
Of course, even if more opponents like this appeared, they would still be no match for Fang Li.
Fang Li lightly raised his Moonlight Dagger in his hand.
But in that moment, Claire's voice rang out again.
"Rain!"
The mage beside her, wearing a dress, responded to Claire's call.
The mage raised the staff in their hand.
"Sleep!"
At that instant, Fang Li felt it.
He felt a power similar to the Magic Power from Start from Zero in Another World (Re: Zero).
At the same time, an invisible power wave rippled through the space, enveloping Fang Li's body.
Fang Li immediately felt a wave of drowsiness invading his mind.
Thus, Fang Li understood.
"So this is the Magic of this world?"
Thanks to the negative status resistance granted by Explorer's wish, Fang Li wasn't defeated by the sudden drowsiness and quickly dispelled it.
"Attack!"
"Take him down!"
At the same time, the knights charged forward, one by one, with their longswords becoming merciless slashes, cutting through the air with sharp whistling sounds as they struck toward Fang Li.
"Bang—!"
A muffled sound rang out.
That was the sound of slashes that failed to make an impact.
Just as the swords of the knights were about to land on Fang Li's body, the nearest knight was suddenly kicked heavily and sent flying by a breaking space.
This kick immediately triggered a chain reaction.
"Bang— Bang— Bang— Bang— Bang—!"
With the sound of muffled impacts, the knights, all valiant warriors, were kicked away one by one.
"Ugh…!"
"Ugh…!"
"Ah…!"
With groans, the knights were kicked away like garbage, either crashing into the surrounding walls or being thrown into the piles of gold and silver treasures, with the sound of crackling and rattling, causing precious items like gold, jewels, and crystals to scatter in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, all the knights that had advanced were kicked away, falling to the ground with cries of pain.
"What…?!"
"Impossible!"
Seeing this with their own eyes, the soldiers who had retreated were stunned.
"Claire…!"
The mage named Rain also looked helplessly at Claire.
"Magic… Mage!"
Claire seemed to be shocked as well, her previously calm demeanor disappearing and turning into a more frantic one.
"Everyone, unleash your magic! No mercy this time!"
Claire's command caused the mages, one by one, to raise their staffs.
The Magic Power began to ripple like waves.
"Fire Ball!"
Blazing flames gathered at the tips of the staffs, forming into balls, which were violently shot toward Fang Li.
"Lightning!"
The shining lightning streaked through the breaking space, heading towards the front.
"Blade Of Wind!"
Invisible air gathered and formed, turning into sharp wind scythe blades, one after another, suddenly rising.
"Freeze Gust!"
White cold mist appeared without any warning in the space, and under the influence of the wind, it surged forward.
Suddenly, a mass of flames, extremely fast lightning, sharp air blades, and cold mist surged from the group of mages ahead, becoming tangible destructive forces, simultaneously enveloping Fang Li.
Watching this scene, Fang Li's eyes finally showed a trace of interest.
"Interesting..."
Muttering this lowly, Fang Li's figure turned into a gust of wind.
"Hū————!"
Like a burst of wind sweeping through the space, Fang Li darted towards the incoming Magic rain, kicking out a strong and powerful kick towards the approaching flames, lightning, air blades, and cold wind.
"Bang————!"
With a loud, muffled sound, the kick, as if a meteor, heavily struck the incoming Magic.
At that moment, whether it was the mass of flames, the shining lightning, the sharp air blades, or the cold mist, all of them were struck as if hit by a heavy blow.
They were directly shattered by this powerful strike.
"————!"
Claire widened her eyes, and Rain was left with a face full of disbelief.
The mages, one by one, were frozen in place.
The soldiers collectively dropped their jaws, falling into a dazed state.
"Magic..." Rain whispered as if in a daze.
"Magic... was kicked apart...?"
How could this be?
How could this be?
It's Magic!
If it had been countered or blocked by other Magic, that would be understandable.
But to use a physical attack to scatter Magic?
Is this even possible?
Seeing everyone around fall into a daze, Fang Li slowly raised the corner of his mouth beneath his mask.
"Now's the time..."
Saying this, Fang Li glanced at a pile of gold and silver treasures beside him.
"Since I've already taken the risk of being discovered, isn't it too much of a loss to leave without taking anything?"
Therefore, Fang Li removed the Ionic Spark he was wearing, replaced it with the Black Ring, activated the Black Ring's personal space, and pressed it onto the pile of gold and silver treasures.
"Shuā!"
The pile of treasures immediately disappeared on the spot.
Shortly afterward, Fang Li's figure once again turned into a gust of wind, flashing through the people blocking the door and swiftly flying out.
The incoming wind and wave caused Claire, Rain, and everyone else to involuntarily raise their hands to block in front of them.
When the wind passed, they realized Fang Li had vanished.
"Still... still standing there, what are you doing?!" Claire couldn't hide her agitation and quickly shouted.
"Quick, catch up!"
Only then did everyone react, and with the sound of hasty footsteps, they began to give chase.
