Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 877: IUD-Chapter 872 Risks Proportional to Benefits

In the familiar feeling of dizziness, Fang Li quietly waited for the sensation of solid ground underfoot before opening his eyes.

However, the scene that entered Fang Li’s field of vision caused him to stand there in a daze.

“Zheng…”

Some light appeared in various corners around him.

That was the glow of Golden light, as well as the radiance emitted by Jewels and various precious jewelry items.

“This is…” Fang Li couldn’t help but be stunned.

At this moment, Fang Li found himself in a vast secret room.

In this room, treasures of all kinds, including gold and silver, were piled up everywhere.

Among them, there were even weapons emitting subtle power fluctuations, as well as armor and items that appeared to be very precious.

This was clearly a treasure vault.

“Why am I here?” Fang Li first had this question, and then he remembered something and began to check the identity background arranged by the Main God’s Dimension.

After Fang Li clarified his identity background, he couldn’t help but become silent.

“Thief?”

Yes.

A thief.

This time, the Main God’s Dimension had arranged Fang Li’s identity background as exactly that of a thief.

Moreover, he was an extremely bold thief who had targeted the national treasury, infiltrated the Royal Castle in the Royal Capital, and was about to commit a robbery.

Therefore, Fang Li’s Jie Long Seventh Academy uniform had disappeared, replaced by black clothing and a mask.

Upon realizing this, Fang Li recalled something very important and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

When acting as a Divine Envoy and entering the Dungeon World, the Main God’s Dimension always arranges an identity background.

This is a privilege for all Divine Envoys.

However, this identity background is often ambiguous.

Generally, the identity backgrounds arranged by the Main God’s Dimension are very simple and do not have any major impact.

In the past, Fang Li was simply a Wanderer taken in by others in the world of Iron Fortress Kabane, and in the world of God Eater, he was only an ordinary soldier.

Such identities do not trigger any special events.

Otherwise, the main Divine Envoys could simply rely on the identity background arranged by the Main God’s Dimension to gain benefits.

But this is not always the case.

Sometimes, if the main Divine Envoy has special conditions, the identity background arranged by the Main God’s Dimension can also become very unique.

For example, when Fang Li entered the world of Tsukihime, he was a survivor of the Nanaya Clan, which caused many changes in the Tohno family.

This was because Fang Li possessed the Nanaya Assassination Technique and was essentially a Murdering Demon, so when the identity background was arranged, it allowed Fang Li’s combat not to seem too out of place.

Therefore, depending on the main Divine Envoy’s own conditions, the Main God’s Dimension might arrange an appropriate identity background that fits their situation.

In this way, due to the main Divine Envoy’s special traits, they could gain some benefits.

For example, in the world of Tsukihime, Fang Li was able to connect with the Tohno family because of his background, which allowed him to meet Tohno Shiki, Tohno Akiha, Arcueid, and the others, directly involving him in the events of Misaki Town and providing him a good opportunity to complete the Main Quest.

This time was the same.

Because of Fang Li’s special nature, this time, the Main God’s Dimension arranged for him an identity background as a thief with the ability to infiltrate the Royal Capital’s Royal Castle and then steal from the Kingdom’s treasury.

Unfortunately, this time, it seemed like it was not going to be a good thing.

The reason is simple.

“How could the Main God’s Dimension be so kind as to directly send me to the treasury and let me steal the treasures here?”

Fang Li, who had already understood the rules of the Main God’s Dimension, was certain.

Benefit is always proportional to risk.

Since so many treasures, gold, and silver were right in front of him, the risks he would face next would only be proportional to that.

And Fang Li had already anticipated it.

He had already predicted what would happen next.

“Bang————!”

With the loud sound of a door being kicked open, the treasure vault’s door was heavily slammed open.

In the next moment, fully armed soldiers, each holding a long spear/gun and a longsword, poured in one by one from outside the door, completely blocking the doorway.

Not only that.

In addition to the ordinary soldiers, there were also individuals dressed in long robes, holding staffs, and dressed like mages, following behind the soldiers, lined up in a row.

Before long, another group of people surged in from outside the door.

This group of people was clearly more advanced in equipment, dressed like knights.

Among this group were two individuals.

One was a short-haired, beautiful girl dressed in a suit-like outfit, more resembling noble clothing than knight armor, with a sword at her waist.

The other was a girl dressed in a black gown, holding a staff and wearing several rings on her fingers, looking like an outstanding mage.

These two individuals led a Guard Regiment, a Knight group, and a Mage faction into the treasure vault.

At once, the short-haired, beautiful girl with a sword at her waist fixed her sharp gaze on Fang Li.

“This is the end, thief!” She declared with a commanding voice.

“I am Claire-Symphonia, the eldest daughter of the great aristocratic Symphonia family and the personal bodyguard of the first princess of Belzerg Kingdom!”

The noble young lady, having announced her name, did not draw her sword from her waist, seemingly looking down on Fang Li as she spoke.

“To dare infiltrate the Royal Castle’s treasury, such a crime will never be forgiven!”

As she spoke, the girl named Claire raised her hand and immediately issued an order.

“Seize this bold and audacious thief!”

As soon as Claire’s voice fell,

“Yes!”

The deafening response rang out.

In the next second, the soldiers at the front, each holding a long spear/gun, simultaneously charged forward.

“I knew this would happen…”

Fang Li, with his face still concealed in black, sighed and then raised his hand, gripping a waning moon dagger, preparing to face the oncoming soldiers.

“Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—!”

The soldiers shouted, and their long spears turned into sharp thrusts, stabbing fiercely towards Fang Li.

The synchronized movement and extraordinary actions of the soldiers clearly showed that they were not only well-trained, but their abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Thus, the sound of space breaking echoed before the sharp tips of the long spears.

Unfortunately, for Fang Li, it was simply not enough.

“Qiang—!”

A chilling blade of light flashed.

There was no flourish.

No tricks.

Fang Li simply swung his blade at the incoming spear formation.

That swing was as fast as a streak of silver light, cutting through the air in the blink of an eye.

“Clang————!”

With a slash sound, the incoming long spears were neatly and decisively severed.
