"Over there!"
"Quick, chase him!"
"Don't let him escape!"
In the grand corridor resembling a chalk castle, guards armed with weapons shouted as they charged forward in chaotic footsteps, blocking the front and rear of the corridor, sealing off all escape routes.
Clad in black, Fang Li dashed through the corridor like the wind, glancing back at the guards he had left far behind and then looking ahead at the blockers charging toward him, fearlessly rushing forward.
"Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish————!"
Amidst the sound of sharp air being pierced, sharp long spears/guns shot forward.
"Clang————!"
In a crisp sound, a chilly blade light cut through the incoming spears/guns without exception.
"Boom— Boom— Boom— Boom— Boom—!"
Stifling sounds rang out as guards were kicked away like trash, crashing into the surrounding walls and collapsing to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the entire corridor was littered with fully armed guards, lying there and moaning in pain.
This was no longer just an occurrence in one corridor.
After leaving the treasury, every corridor Fang Li passed through was filled with the figures of guards, their cries of pain and agony spreading throughout the entire Royal Castle, turning it into a living hell.
Of course, while the cries were intense, these people had only been incapacitated, not seriously injured.
Having mastered the essence of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, Fang Li only used some small tricks to intensify the pain of those he struck, incapacitating them without leaving any lasting harm.
Even so, the scene was still terrifying.
"Who… who is that person?" Claire, leading the Knight Order and Guard Regiment in pursuit of Fang Li, was filled with shock.
"With such outstanding strength, his Rank must be at least Level 50 or above, right?"
That was the Rank of a top-tier expert.
An expert of such Rank would be a prominent figure in any nation, treated with respect even by nobles and the Royal Family.
"Why would such an outstanding figure invade the Royal Castle? What is his purpose?"
The more Claire thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
At that moment, Rain, running beside Claire, suddenly widened her eyes and spoke in a panicked voice.
"Claire! This direction is…!"
The panic in her voice was so intense that it seemed she might faint at any moment.
But Claire understood.
Because Claire had also noticed.
As the pursuit continued, the intruder was steadily making his way to the upper levels of the Royal Castle.
And he was about to reach the top floor.
Among the characters residing on the top floor of the Royal Castle was that one person.
"No… this is bad!"
Claire's face turned pale.
"The intruder's target might very well be Her Highness!"
...
"Boom————!"
In the grand corridor, the stifling sound continued to ring out monotonously.
"Guh…!"
A knight who was heavily kicked immediately flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a group of guards behind him, causing them to tumble together like bowling pins, eliciting screams and cries of pain.
"Swish!"
Fang Li flew past like the wind, ignoring the soldiers lying on the ground, and headed toward the top floor of the Royal Castle.
The reason for choosing the top floor was simply because the Kingdom's treasury was closer to it.
Since that was the case, Fang Li naturally chose the shorter path.
Once he reached the top of the Royal Castle, Fang Li could simply fly away.
Of course, an even simpler method would be to break through the walls and head straight outside.
However, this intrusion was a result of a series of coincidences, and Fang Li had no grudge against anyone in this castle. It would be unreasonable to cause destruction directly.
So, Fang Li chose to leave peacefully, only incapacitating those who blocked his path without causing any harm. For someone skilled in killing like Fang Li, this was already quite rare.
However, after realizing Fang Li's target was the top floor of the Royal Castle, the guards and knights became even more aggressive.
"Quick!"
"Block him!"
"No matter what, don't let him pass!"
Thus, large groups of guards and knights charged out, filling the corridors with their figures, and the sound of footsteps became increasingly chaotic and disorderly.
Unfortunately, not only the guards but even the outstanding knights were only of the fifth Rank, not yet reaching the fourth Rank. For Fang Li, who could even defeat third-Rank beings, unless there were thousands of them, they posed no threat at all.
In such a situation, Fang Li didn't even bother to kick them away one by one.
"Clang————!"
Spark-like Prana shone from Fang Li's body.
Fang Li used all his Prana to enhance his defensive power, and then he transformed into a meteor, charging forward.
"Boom————!"
In a louder impact than any before, amidst the screams, a large number of soldiers and knights were sent flying, truly like bowling pins struck by a ball, tumbling one after another and littering the ground.
Finally, Fang Li successfully reached the top floor of the Royal Castle.
Here, Fang Li finally sensed a flow of air, indicating the presence of a window or an open balcony leading outside.
"Finally, this farce can end."
Sighing, Fang Li's speed increased to a whole new level, transforming from a gust of wind into a violent storm as he rushed through the even more magnificent and grand corridors, heading toward the door of the innermost room.
"Bang!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Li kicked open the grand door before him.
Shortly afterward, an extremely luxurious room appeared before Fang Li, more opulent than any room he had seen in Roswaal's mansion, filled with what looked like incredibly expensive furniture and carpets, lavish to the point of astonishment.
At the deepest part of the room was an open balcony leading outside.
As Fang Li had anticipated, he could directly exit from here.
With Fang Li's speed, he could reach the sky outside in less than a second.
However, at that moment, Fang Li came to a halt.
Because of a figure standing in the center of the room.
"Stop right there."
That was a voice as clear and light as a bird's song.
"You cannot continue your rampage any longer."
The one saying this was a girl around 12-13 years old.
"This is for everyone's sake."
The girl was dressed in the most exquisite pure white gown, with long straight hair that shone like gold, exuding an aura of nobility.
Her clear blue eyes stared directly at Fang Li.
