Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 546: Left hand

“Even though that’s the case, where should I look for that idiot?”

Walking along the beautiful streets of the noble district, Fang Li didn’t look back, just kept moving forward.

“Although I know that idiot is with Reinhard, I have no idea where Reinhard’s home is.”

In other words, even if Fang Li revisits the Royal Capital, he’s still not very familiar with the place.

No, he has some necessary knowledge.

But Fang Li isn’t familiar enough to have a complete grasp of the layout of the Royal Capital.

He just vaguely remembers the positions of the noble district, the slums, and the commercial avenues.

He’s not even very clear on where the famous nobles live here, except for the location of the Royal Castle.

“If I run to the Royal Castle to find Reinhard, I probably won’t even be allowed to get close, right?”

There’s no doubt that Reinhard is someone who can come and go from the Royal Castle.

If not for any other reason then just because of Reinhard’s identity.

Here, identity doesn’t refer to his background in the Sword Saint Family, but Reinhard’s personal status.

After all, Reinhard is a Knight.

In this country, the status of a Knight is quite special and it is different from guards like police officers, Knights rank above them.

Knights basically belong to the Kingdom’s Knight Corps, serving as the elite force of the Kingdom.

Unlike the guards who maintain order in the cities for daily life, the Knights are a corps responsible for the survival of the entire country, so their rank is above that of guards.

As for within the Kingdom’s Knight Corps, there’s also a unit known as the Royal Guard.

Every Knight in the Knight Corps is referred to as a Royal Guard.

The Royal Guard is a unit directly under the Royal Family.

So, within the Knight Corps, the status of a Royal Guard is higher than that of a regular Knight.

Reinhard is precisely one of the Royal Guard.

Fang Li vaguely remembers that after the people of the Royal Family died out completely, the Royal Guard, which was directly under the Royal Family, was disbanded, and later re-established to be dispatched around the world to find the Dragon Priestess.

They follow the Mikos according to their own beliefs, helping them ascend to the throne.

After all, the Royal Guard was originally a force directly under the Royal Family.

Since the Royal Family is no longer there, selecting a King is the Royal Guard’s top priority.

For this reason, each Dragon Priestess basically has one or more Knights supporting her.

Naturally, among them are the Royal Guard.

The only Dragon Priestess currently without Knight assistance among the four discovered Dragon Priestesses is Emilia.

Because the one supporting Emilia to become king isn’t a Royal Guard, but the court magician second to none in the Kingdom— Roswaal L Mathers.

Putting aside Roswaal for now, if it’s a Royal Guard directly under the Royal Family, it’s not surprising for them to appear in the Royal Castle.

Even though Reinhard once introduced himself as a guard, the Knight among Knights, it’s better to go directly to the Royal Castle to find him than to go looking for him in the guard duty room.

Of course, this is just Fang Li’s idea.

For ordinary people, rather than risking entering the Royal Castle without permission, it’s better to go to the guard duty room and have someone announce your arrival, then meet Reinhard.

But Fang Li doesn’t want to choose such a troublesome option.

“I guess I’ll just infiltrate the Royal Castle to find him.”

Just as this dangerously bold statement was about to become reality, perhaps the dragons were truly protecting this country.

In order to prevent the Murdering Demon from breaking into the Royal Castle, Fang Li finally saw clearly for once.

As Fang Li passed by a narrow alleyway.

“Hit him!”

“Beat this punk to death!”

“Let him meddle in other people’s business!”

Accompanied by such a barrage of insults, the sound of fists and kicks began to echo in the alleyway.

Shortly afterward, a familiar scream reached Fang Li’s ears.

“Oooh!

My bones are about to break!

But I, Natsuki Subaru, am a favored transmigrator blessed by the heavens!

According to the usual settings, this is the time when I should awaken my true power to break free from this predicament!”

“So!

Awaken, my right hand!”

However, Fang Li didn’t know whether the Master of that voice’s right hand had awakened or not.

All Fang Li could hear was a burst of angry shouts.

“Where’s your awakened right hand?”

“Show it to me!”

“I’ll stomp on that hand if you don’t!”

Thus, the sounds of punches and kicks became even clearer.

And the result was still the same— a series of screams.

“This is difficult… could it be that the legendary power isn’t in my right hand but in my left hand?!

Damn!

I usually use my right hand more!”

As for what the right hand was used for, that remains a mystery.

In any case, Fang Li successfully stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing into a dead fish-like expression, as he sighed aloud.

A thousand words in his heart condensed into a single sentence.

“It’s amazing this idiot managed to survive this long.

Reinhard must be exhausted.”

With that said, Fang Li simply turned into the alley.

Shortly afterward, Fang Li saw it.

In the alleyway, a group of gangsters was beating up a boy lying on the ground, holding his head.

And nearby, a girl was coldly watching him.

Seeing the girl, Fang Li raised his eyebrows slightly but quickly returned to his original state and approached.

“Hmm?”

The girl was the first to notice Fang Li’s arrival and turned her gaze towards him.

However, Fang Li ignored her and went straight to behind one of the gangsters, tapping him on the shoulder.

“What are you doing?!”

The gangster seemed genuinely enraged.

After being tapped on the shoulder, he immediately turned around and started yelling.

What he got in response was a kick.

“Bang!”

With a stifled sound, a powerful kick plunged into the gangster’s abdomen, hitting him directly in the stomach.

“Guoh!”

The gangster immediately let out an inaudible scream and was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall, his head tilting to the side as he passed out.

“What…!”

“Ah…!”

The remaining two gangsters were dumbfounded.

By the time they reacted, all they saw was a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

“You have two options”

“Continue fighting.”

“Or lie down together.”

“Pick one.”

The seemingly casual yet unquestionable words made the bodies of the two gangsters freeze on the spot.

“Oh?” Fang Li said indifferently, “In other words, you want me to choose for you?”

As soon as the words fell.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

With two stifled sounds, after the first gangster, the other two gangsters were also sent flying, crashing into the wall.

And, in a domino effect, they collided with each other like bowling pins, all of them tilting their heads and losing consciousness.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru was still lying on the ground, holding his head.

“Hohou?”

The girl then cast a concerned gaze at Fang Li.
